"An akuma's been released," she went on, keeping the topic as professional as possible so it wouldn't drift to the other topic, the one she hated. Her fighting partner had been cursed all his life with bad luck, which was associated with his name and power: black cat. He'd begged and pleaded with her so many times for her to help him get rid of it . . . something about a good luck's kiss. She'd recoiled from the idea; she saw him as a partner, and nothing more. And besides, what about Félix?

"I know," he replied, his voice smooth and somewhat chilling. She knew he would never hurt her, but still, she couldn't help but feel a little unsettled whenever she was around him. "Did you find the villain yet?" he added.

She sighed and shook her head. "No. That's why I stopped."

"Come on, then." He grinned his creepy grin and beckoned her forwards as he turned around. "Let's find him before someone gets hurt." He took off, and Ladybug followed, not sure how to feel about the fact that he had just quoted Tikki. On another hand, she was relieved that he'd stayed all-business, and slowly grew relaxed as she raced along the rooftops at his side to find the latest supervillain.
