((chapter 5))

Authors Note: Sorry this chapter was kinda short, the next one will be longer I promise ;)

Marinette jolted awake as the helicopter landed in an empty clearing of a forest. "Why are we in the forest?" she questioned "You'll see." Master Fu replied, with a twinkle in his eye.

The two walked trudged through the forest till they reached a small green elevator hidden in the trunk of a tree. Marinette hesitated when Master Fu nudged her. "It doesn't bite… unless you're an enemy, in which case it probably will." Marinette chuckled, picturing the elevator with little teeth, biting Hawkmoth from behind.

Inside the elevator, a big screen flickered to life, "Princess Marinette Coccinelle Dupain-Cheng." A rather tall lady with a red streak in her hair appeared, "You are now in the safety custody of the International Princess Protection Program, or, PPP."

"Princess Protection Program? I've never heard of a Princess Protection Program before." Marinette stared dubiously.

"We are never heard of until we are needed." The woman replied. "But you'll be safe with us"Master Fu nodded in agreement as he got off the elevator, leaving the confused princess alone with the woman on the screen.

"How long will I stay here?" Marinette spoke up, after a period silence.

"Until you're ready for stage four."

"Stage four? What is stage one?"

"Extraction. That is when we rescue a princess in danger and bring them here."

"Stage two?" Marinette fiddled with her hair, silently wishing for Master Fu to return.

"Transition." The face smiled.

"Transition to what?"

"Stage three, come inside and we'll explain everything."

The elevator doors opened once more, and Marinette hesitantly stepped out. She gaped at the scene around her. Agents of the Program were scurrying back and forth, all on different missions. The walls were covered with screens, computers and other technology. In the middle of it all stood the same lady who was on the elevator screen.

"Welcome, Ladybug. I am Nathalie Sancoeur, and this is the operation part of the PPP, a top secret agency funded by royal families all over the globe." She gestured for Marinette to follow her as they walked around the room. We are actively providing protection to 29 princesses, all of whom have been threatened in one way or another." Nathalie tapped a few keys on one of the larger computer screens. "This is Princess Avantika," Marinette saw an Arabian princess being fed grapes at a palace. "Last January, Master Fu rescued her from a war threat that endangered her safety, we have placed her where no one will find her." Nathalie tapped the screen once more. The image showed Princess Avantika in a large coat treading through thick snow. "Let's just say she's a little further north than she's used to." Marinette's eyes widened, "She's freezing!" "Probably, but she's safe. Let's take a walk." Marinette's eyes lingered on the image of Princess Avantika. I would never take her warm castle and servants for granted ever again. She glanced at the computer screen once more before turning around to catch up with Natalie.
