He got a good look at her and was confused. She too was in a skin tight suit except it was red and covered in black dots. Instead of cat ears or a tail, the girl had a round thing on her hip and red and black dotted earrings.
"Heh, it's no big deal." Chat said slyly running his hand through his hair, "What are you doing out here? Are you supposed that partner my kwami mentioned?" "Yeah, I guess so. Again, I am so sorry. I'm very clumsy" The girl said when I noticed her bright bluebell eyes.
"Hey, don't worry about it! You ready to kick some villain butt?" he said flashing her a smile and took off running through the buildings. During their little meet and greet, the man they were chasing had taken off toward the Eiffel tower.
Hearing the blue-eyed girl start to talk, he looked behind him to see her swinging from thin black cord. "Hey! Do you know where we're going?" "Yeah! I can hear him," Chat said gesturing to his ears. "Apparently, I get super hearing with this weird costume. He's headed straight for the Eiffel tower!"
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Chat took off with the blue-eyed girl close behind. Arriving at their destination, Chat saw the man they were chasing. He was oddly familiar, Chat didn't know how he recognized him.
"Is that Steve Gran the PWNC weatherman?" the blue-eyed girl asked in surprise, "Wasn't he just fired from his job?" "Yeah! That's why he looked so familiar." Chat said, when he heard the man in question start to say, "My name is Lightening Rod! I am looking for two people with something called a Miraculous which is contained in a ring and pair of earrings. If these two items are not turned in within two hours, everyone in Paris will be electrocuted."
Lightening Rod clarified this when lightning struck as he said his last word. The girl's hand went straight to her ears and said, "What am I going to do? Wait! Do you have a ring?" "Yeah I do," I said showing her my ring, "but we can't just turn them into him. Our kwamis must have chosen us for a reason!"
"I agree, but if we don't defeat him by the time the two hours are up, we have to give them up. We can't endanger the lives of innocent people!" She said looking scared but stuck in her ways. "Fine! But we will defeat her! What are you going to call yourself? We are superheroes and we need to call each other something. I was thinking Chat Noir for mine? It kind of rolls off the tongue huh?" Adrien asked trying to flirt with the girl in the red and black suit.
"Huh, I haven't really thought about it. I think Ladybug will do for now." "Ok then Ladybug! Let's get rid of this villain!" When Chat Noir and Ladybug had finally grabbed the object holding the akuma, Ladybug smashed the microphone and the dark akuma came flying out. "No more evil-doing for you butterfly. It's time to de-evilize!"
"Just in time for dinner, huh mi-lady. Great job! I guess we'll be working together a lot more." Chat said grinning. "Yeah. But you better get a move on your about to de-transform!" Ladybug said pointing to the dimming paw-prints on his ring. "Oh well! Guess I had better be off. Catch you later. Cat out!"
Chat Noir jumped off his perch and ran off into the night. He became Adrien as soon as he got home and fell on his bed. "Wow! She's amazing. Plaqq who exactly is that." "Nuh-uh Mister, I need camembert right now and then I need to finish explaining what it means to be Chat Noir. Mr. I-know-everything." Plaqq said flying out of his coat.
After Plaqq had eaten his fill, he sat down and explained everything to Adrien, "To summarize, the suit that materializes when I say the words is created by you when you disappear into my ring. I have one opportunity to use my cataclysm. I change back to my real identity five minutes after using it. Ladybug is my partner and she is the only one who can truly defeat the villains. She can use her yoyo to purify the akuma, which basically gets rid of any evil in the butterfly." Adrian said, amazed. He was a real freaking superhero with a remarkable partner.
"Do you feel any better Plaqq? I kind of want to get back out and try to figure out my new powers." "Yeah, you and Ladybug need to figure things out. I can contact her kwami and tell her you want to meet up to train." Plaqq said taking another bite of cheese. "Uh, I don't know. I don't want to bother Ladybug…" Adrien thinking about his the red and black-spotted partner.
She was truly amazing. "Adrien, you do realize as a superhero you're always on call. An akuma attack could start at any time. You and Ladybug will have to get used to it. I'm going to tell her kwami to meet you under the Eiffel Towner."
"Ok. Do you have any tips for controlling that baton-thingy? I'm not very good with it." "Sorry kid, for me to know and you to find out." "Great, now I get to make a fool of myself in front of my new partner." "Sorry dude, but you already did." Plaqq said laughing. "Oh shut up Plaqq, claws out!"
