Hey guys, thanks for all the nice reviews so far! I read all of them and smile when I did. For anyone who read my last chapter and questioned if Cat Noir would wake up while Marinette was still de-transformed...I'm thinking about it, that might make a good plot...
She had to de-transform, Tikki was probably worn out. After Marinette found a cookie in her purse, she thought of something that might change everything. 'How suspicious would it look if Marinette was on this rooftop with him instead of Ladybug?' "Tikki, Ready?" Marinette started. "Remph!" Tikki said, mouth full of cookie. Marinette laughed. "Tikki, Spots on!"
As soon as she was Ladybug again, she started to shake Cat Noir once again. "But what if he has to de-transform?" Marinette wondered. In the back of her mind, she heard Tikki giving her answers and advice. "We will worry about that when it comes time, for now...turn him onto his stomach, that way his back is facing up." Tikki said.
Marinette did what she was told and shifted the cat to his stomach. She started to shout in his cat ears, shake him again, and would've hit him if it weren't for the puddle of blood forming on the concrete next to him. "What do I do?" Ladybug wondered out-loud. "I can't do this!" Ladybug said, petting the boy's head.
This must have done something because then...he started to stir and groan. "Cat Noir!" Ladybug yelled. "Uhhhhhh. M'lady?" Cat Noir breathed, his voice hoarse and scratchy. He opened his eyes the slightest bit and Ladybug loved it. She could finally see those piercing green eyes again.
All of the sudden, the eyes started to close again. "Cat Noir! You have to stay awake." Ladybug said. "I-I cannnn't..." Cat Noir started as he slowly shut his eyes. "NO! Stay awake! You have to stay awake!" Ladybug yelled, surprising both of them. Cat Noir seemed to forget about his wound and sat up. Bad idea! The minute he jerked upright, he yelped like a real cat.
This scared Ladybug to death. "Lay down! Hurry!" She yelled, louder than needed. Cat Noir did as he was told and plopped back down to his belly, hissing and breathing violently. Ladybug was concerned now, he was losing blood fast and she didn't know when he might de-transform back into his true self.
"Lucky Charm!"
Ladybug stared at what lay in her hands. Gauze. Finally, something that made sense. She quickly leaned down to Cat Noir's level and spoke. "I'm going to have to wrap your chest, can you sit up?" She asked, a little nervous. "I don know, maybe?" Cat Noir answered, worn out. Ladybug wasted no time, she set her hands under Cat Noir's head and hips, avoiding his back. She lifted him ever so slowly, slowing down or stopping every time he groaned or hissed.
Finally, he was up all the way. It took Ladybug not 2 minutes to wrap his mid-section with the gauze, then set him back down slowly. As soon as he was comfortable, she ran off to de-transform and as soon as she was out of sight, Cat Noir de-transformed back into Adren. "Tikki, I don't know how to make sure he is back in his costume!" Marinette said. "Don't worry, I got it." Tikki said, fishing for some food.
Tikki could send psychic messages to other kwamis. She could talk with Plagg and make sure the boy was back in costume before Marinette came back out. "Plagg...are you okay?" Tikki asked. "Yeaaaaa, surrrre. But Ad-Cat Noir isn't doing too good." Plagg explained. He sounded drained, both of them.
"Well, I could roll some food over in your direction..." Tikki started. "Do you have any Camembert?" Plagg asked. "Um, no." Tikki answered, "But I have cookie's..." Tikki finished. "It'll have to do." Plagg agreed. Tikki then took a cookie out of the purse, this being the last one and rolled it from the corner of the chimney in the two boys direction.
Plagg caught it and took off a piece and offered it to Adrien, surprisingly he waved it away. Plagg frowned and ate it all in less than 30 seconds. Plagg floated up to Adrien's face and pointed out that if he transformed into Cat Noir, his suit would cut off the blood flow a little more.
Adrien agreed and whisper-shouted "Plagg...Clawws ouut!" Immediately he was in costume. "Okay Marinette, Cat Noir is in costume!" Tikki informed. "Great." Marinette said, before shouting "Tikki, Spots On!" In an instant, she was concealing her identity as well.
When she walked away from her hiding spot, she noticed Cat Noir trying to sit up on his own. This really alarmed her. "Cat Noir! What are you doing!?" She shouted. "We have to find Sting!" He answered. For some reason, this made Ladybug roll her eyes. 'Like he's ready to fight, he can't even sit up on his own.' She thought.
"No, we don't. You have to get somewhere safe." Ladybug said, looking around to find a safe spot. "No, I'm fine." Cat Noir argued. "No you're not!" Ladybug argued back.
Cat Noir sighed. She was right, he was in no condition to fight, he couldn't even sit up on his own. He sighed again and looked into her bluebell eyes, wanting to protest again, but didn't. She helped him stand and supported him the rest of the way.
They found a safe spot near a little cafe. Not too big and not too small. Ladybug helped Cat Noir down onto a bed like chair and Cat Noir hated it. Having the love of his life help him sit down. He couldn't stand it, but he would do the same for her.
After Cat Noir was settled, Ladybug walked around the little hut and made sure everything was in the clear. Nothing seemed to be out of order except for one piece of cloth that was hung on the wall. It was covering a picture. Ladybug took the cloth down and stared at the portrait.
It was a picture of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Not them of course, but the ones before them. Wow, the Cat Noir almost looked like Adrien. But that wasn't possible, Adrien was smooth and had a kind heart. Cat Noir was always hipper and making cat puns every 5 seconds. Not to mention hitting on her.
She looked down at the bottom of the painting, it said Cat Noir was a boy named Felix. She couldn't really read the last name, it was all fuzzy and blurred out. Ladybug thought about this for a while. Did she just find the identity of one of the many Cat Noirs? Ladybug shook the thought out of her mind and headed back to where Cat Noir was. When she got back, she saw a sight that made her giggle.
On the chair, almost curled up into a ball, like a real cat. There was Cat Noir, sleeping soundly. Ladybug stifled a laugh and walked towards the boy. She looked down at how relaxed his face was, then focused on his arms. They where all scratched up and bruised. Sting.
That girl was going to pay for what she did. To both of them.
Ladybug looked down at Cat Noir one last time and stroked his hair, thinking of how much he reminded her of Adrien. Once again, she called the idea silly and slowly walked off.
Ladybug was going to go find Sting and make sure that after she was done, it would sting.
Thanks for reading everyone! I cannot take credit for the "Kwami psychic connection" thing... That's all "LilyTheNinjaGirl" Hugs and kisses to anyone who caught the "Old Miraculous Ladybug thing" Felix Agreste was good, but Adrien Agreste is better. Hope you liked it! :D
