At the swimming pool, Marinette had told Alya, Rose, Melene, Alix, and Julika all she wanted to tell them about what happened today.
She was just finishing drying off and packing up about to head home, hair still a little damp.
She was almost there when a news alert came up on one of the large tv's attached to the buildings about a new super villain destroying billboards all over town, but no one's seen anything.
Marinette was just about to run off to look for a place to hide when a floating black cat zoom right into her.
"Ow..." he said rubbing his head and looked up "You need to help!" he said sounding scared and worried.
"Why? What's happened?" Marinette asked working out this was the Kwami for Chat Noir.
"Adrien's been Akumatized!" he cried out, he didn't like to admit it but he did actually care for the kid.
"What?" Marinette asked letting Tikki out so she could join in.
"Plagg start at the beginning." Tikki said calmly.
"We don't have time!" Plagg said buzzing around in the air as if he were pacing "My kid's been turned evil and attacking this stupid city."
"I understand," Tikki said still calmly trying to get him to settle down "But if we don't know the story, we can't help."
Seeing her point Plagg settled down on Marinette's knee as she sat against the wall, Tikki on the other knee.
"After we got home, his dad was waiting in his room and took the ring away, saying he was grounded for a month, and all that stuff about not giving him permission to be a super hero and that Adrien's not allowed to go to school anymore." Plagg began looking up at Marinette.
"I let him blow off some steam to cool off, but soon an Akuma came and turned him into a bad guy."
"Did you see what the Akumatized object was?" Marinette asked trying to stay calm.
Plagg shook his head.
"Well if he's been Akumatized, he'll want to come after Ladybug's Miraculous right?" she asked, checking, and standing up.
"Not necessarily," Plagg said floating in front of her "You have no idea about this, girly, but my kid's had a big crush on your superhero side since the very beginning. And I know for a fact that Adrien's too good hearted to hurt those he sees as loved ones and / or friends. Even if he's just a puppet at the moment."
"Ok," Marinette said blushing a little at the new information "Then how do we find him?"
"How about you change into Ladybug and scout the city for a bit and we work it out from there?" Tikki said.
"Ok. Tikki, Spots on!" Marinette said proudly if not a tad worried about Adrien.
As soon as she was Ladybug, she swung out her yoyo and took off looking for the Akumatized boy, following the trail of destruction to the Eiffel Tower.
