DISCLAIMER: I DON'T own anything Miraculous if I DID Kagami would have been giving Guardianship by Master Fu. I DON'T own anything Avengers/Civil War or some what X-Men hints related. Just my own crazy opinionated ideas. Enjoy/Read/Review!
WARNING: It's an aged up AU. The Lucky Duo are 18 years old... CANON REFERENCES BUT NOT MUCH!
It all started during Mayor Bourgeois's overzealous press conference The Lucky Duo had finally put Hawkmoth whom at being captured was revealed to be the elite highly renowned fashion designer Gabriel Agreste away in prison. Let alone that Nathalie Sancoeur he's loyal assistant knew the whole time.
It should have felt amazing, relieving miraculous for all yet it wasn't. No one noticed Cat Noir's bone chilling lack of enthusiasm, the way his claws twitched restlessly, tail twitched aggravated, or the fact his emerald green cat eyes looked feral and FURIOUS!
One reporter whom happened to be Nadja Chamack asking "So Cat Noir, what's your take on Gabriel Agreste being Hawkmoth?" was lucky, Ladybug picked up on his demeanor and gently distracted her answering questions. Or Cat may have done something he regret later. Mayor Bourgeois's voice broke through his thoughts in a distant haze and the crowds went silent tho many people murmured among themselves.
"Thank you all for coming. We take this time to celebrate and show our thanks to our miraculous superheros Ladybug and Cat Noir. Without their constant courage and daring wills to fight, our wondrous city of Paris wouldn't have made it as far as we did."
Mayor Bourgeois finishes as people applaud and cheer. Giving his wife Audrey Bourgeois the floor they smile in exchange.
She struts up arms crossed in her uasul pose. But smirking "Cat Noir and Ladybug aren't anything close to ridiculous. They have saved my family many times ever since first appearing in their admittedly stylish suits years ago." Her light blue eyes behind her sunglasses turn to Cat. He's subtly taking deep slow breathes. Without hesitation (as if Audrey ever does) she shouts as the cameras continue to flash.
"Cat Noir!" Said black cat startled a bit using his right paw rubs the back of his neck. Before Cat can say anything Audrey continues as if it nothing bothered her. Causally states "That blond hair of yours...shaggy but tamed keep that look alive young man." Ladybug blinks turning to her other half, mouth agasped but giggles sweetly at his expose.
He gives a genuine smile, slight pink dusting his cheeks. "Thank you furry much Mrs. Bourgeois. I apurreciate that." The responses Cat received were a 50/50 some laughed wholeheartedly, others groaned and some just looked confused not getting it. Ladybug smiled arms crossed glad to see Cat getting into things.
TWO HOURS OF FEEDING FRENZY LATER...
Ladybug waves goodbye to the retreating press and all, wanting to "Pound It" with Cat that they survived not only Hawkmoth's battle but the bigger one... the media craze about it.
She turns around but is suprised he's chatting with a man and woman in the distance. The man clearly has never heard the word 'NO' based on his reaction. The woman next to him is holding a suit case in one hand and tablet in the other. It suprises her because Cat's expression looks as it did during the start of the press conference.
"Sir thank you for the offer. I will discuss it with Ladybug. Yet I just don't see how that's-" Cat is cut off by this stern man that honestly reminds him of Gabriel. The woman beside him hasn't spoken a single word. Her demeanor screams Nathalie 2.0
He already feels whomever these two are, shouldn't be trusted. "Your not the leader are you? Just pass the massage to Ladybug for me." Only getting word of her name and massage, she starts walking up. They turn as she speaks.
"You can pass your massage directly sir. Hello I'm-" the man plasters a grand smile on his face. Walking forawrd hand out stretched grasping her hand shakes it firmly and enthusiastically. "The Miraculous Ladybug it's an honor." He gently released her hand. "As I explained to Cat Noir. Name's Eric Williams. This is my trusty assistant Raven Morris." She nods to Ladybug opening the briefcase out of her line of sight.
Eric resumes talking "I run a department of heroes, It's in Washington DC." He pauses to see if he has her attention. Her nodding on skeptically he continues, ignoring "the sidekick" glaring from behind Ladybug.
"The moment I heard you had finally defeated that villainous Hwakmoth I had to get here. Ladybug this is an opportunity to come togther, I'm building a special team of Miraculous heros to not just save their home cities but the world. We are calling it "The Miraculous Stripes Act. You all won't be in the public eye unless called upon. If you do agree you will learn more academically speaking, live in luxurious apartments and properly train in our department's facility."
Eric pauses again waiting to see if he still has her interest. He does but she still looks concerned. "Don't worry, you are the first I'm explaining this too. My team has located a few others, just their names and places their seen likely but nothing solid." Raven hands Eric the folder she grabbed out the briefcase. "Thank you Raven."
He takes it from Raven showing it to Ladybug, as her red gloved hand takes it from him. "Yet I fear they won't listen as you have." He places a heartbroken expression on his regal facade."Details will be fine tuned soon. So Ladybug please what do you say?" She crosses her arms a single firm nod of her head. Her bluebell eyes stare into Eric's awaiting dark brown ones.
A warm smile plays on her lips. "Well Mr. Williams-" "Eric please, Ladybug." He smoothly corrects her. "Eric, let me discuss it with Cat Noir. Than we will get back to you." Ladybug doesn't see from behind her that Cat is staring at Eric Williams like wannabe scratching post. He of course certainly does. Nodding respectfully to Ladybug. "Of course Ladybug, I understand. We'll await your answer, where it all ened."
As they see Miraculous heroes leave the scene. Raven finally speaks "Sir do you believe Cat Noir will be an issue?" She turns her light brown eyes on him. Slightly placing a piece her blonde curly hair behind her ear.
Eric smirks turning fully to Raven as they walk. "No. He's wrapped around Ladybug's finger. Besides if he refuses, he will be marked as a danger and vigilant. Anyway... more importantly I saw an interesting bakery on the drive here. Care for a croissant Raven." He didnt ask, she's already in step following him.
20 SILENT MINUTES ON THE EIFFEL TOWER LATER...
Ladybug looking through the folder of their supposed team mates. Masked eyebrows scrunched up, somewhat smiling at the thought of possible friendships and connections if she and Cat are able to convince them to help.
Speaking of the Black Cat, Ladybug looks up from the papers laying on her lap. He's been to quiet. It's not normal for her. Leaning his hands on Eiffel Tower railing staring up at the open mid-day sky not moving. The only tell he's still with her, he's blinking cat green eyes watching the clouds go by.
Since meeting Eric Williams and there's how he was during the press conference too. Her head tilts to the left side watching him as his black tail moves back and forth tiredly. Sighing not being able to take the silence she opens her mouth...
"I'm doing fine Bugaboo. Don't worry yourself."
Mouth hanging open than slams shut into a thin line. That's NOT reassuring to her. Taking a deep breath, standing up folder in hand held tightly. Ladybug walks over looking at the right side of his face. Waiting to see if he will continue or turn towards her he doesn't.
He feels her hand on his chin, he allows her to turn him to her fully. "You haven't called me Bugaboo, in a really long time." She drops her hand from his face. "Be serious Kitty what's wrong?" Cat stares down at the folder in her right hand. Needing to distract her he asks what he dreads.
With a cat clawed finger points down asking as interested as paw-ssible. "May I see that? I want to know whom to look for if-." Ladybug blushes embarrassed for not giving it to him sooner. "Sure Kitty right, sorry. I was struggling with reading it all. Some seem well difficult." Cat gently grabs it, quickly reads it through for once thanking all the homeschooling he was forced into.
He's expression grows ice chillingly cold at that 'forced into'. "Hawkmoth's defeat. All some disgusting ambition gone crazy. That's what's wrong." he turns away throwing the folder down starts pacing in front of her "I should be thrilled that sick ungrateful psychotic A-hole is behind bars. I should be thankful I didn't bleed to death from him slicing my stomach or that he no longer can dictate my life but I'm not!" He shouts angrily.
Nearly pulling at his shaggy blond hair, wanting to sink his black cat claws into his head he hisses uncontrollably. "Make matters worse Ladybug," he resumes pacing in humorless anger laughter as she watches flabbergasted whispering tho he can't hear it or chooses to ignore her for once. "Cat Noir wait. Calm down, wha-what do you me-mean he dictated your life?"
"Some bigwig thinks he can strut in and claim us. We handle our powers just fine. I know what it's like to be conditioned. I don't, I can't AND WON'T EVER BE CONTROLLED AGAIN!" Ladybug is glad Hawkmoth is gone or her partner would have been akumatized. She wouldn't be able to handle THAT.
She quickly runs up... and SMACKS HIM IN THE FACE! "Me-ow what the hell was that for Bug?!" He glares at her, holding his sting left cheek. Ladybug can do nothing but roll her eyes. "Calming you down. Look, a hero listens to their head not their heart when making decisions." She stares him in the eye determination glows in her bluebell eyes.
"Before I give you my answer to Williams' offer. Tell me what were you going on about?" She raises a hand in a stop so he doesn't yet. "Don't tell me your fine. I mean about Hawkmoth and controling your life." She crosses her arms waiting.
Cat laughs bitter and cold. He's so tired of everything. Ladybug stares him square in the eye. "No- yo- you can't be. I mean... yes Hawkmoth is Gabriel-" "-Agreste exactly Ladybug. Plagg Claws In!" Ladybug turns around swiftly, starts walking over to grab the folder Cat had thrown to the ground. An unknow voice speaks sounding... bitter?
"Kid I told you, she doesn't love you. You should listen to me. If she did, she wouldn't be scared to see you. Anyway camembert Kid." Cat- his civilian self answers. His kwami chomps down on the cheese. Ladybug could feel his eyes burning into her back. "Yea I know Plagg. You're right. Always telling me she loved someone else. As much as I try." Ladybug's hands holding the folder start shaking. She turns around eyes still shut tight until... "YOU NEVER STOPPED! YOUR ANNOYING CHILDISH FLIRTING. I LOVE ADRIEN AGRESTE NOT YOU CAT NOIR!"
Breathing heavily Ladybug hears him move closer. "Look at me." She shakes her head. Hoping this was a nightmare. In front of her nose she smells the stinky cheese. Forced in shock to open her eyes, with disgust holding her nose her bluebell eyes see Cat Noir's kwami Plagg smirking at her holding the cheese that's missing pieces. "Thank you Plagg." She behind Plagg sees The Adrien Agreste, HER ADRIEN AGRESTE standing there arms crossed with a raised eyebrow at her.
"Adri-Adrien?! Bu-but you and Cat are... Your nothing alike. How can kind, intelligent Adrien the boy I love, be my flirty reckless annoy me to pieces partner. I care about both but it- it doesn't make any sense." She grips her longer pigtails. Adrien's eyes widen "Love? You never tried to get to know me." Eyeing her up and down impatiently now narrowing as he starts.
"People don't always show the world who they really are. Cat Noir is me. The part I hold close and suppress. The me I'm purroud to be. So Ladybug...?" His cat pun automatically has her rolling her eyes but than she froze 'All the puns and jokes all along-'
Ladybug bites her lower lip. "Fine you liar. Tikki Spots Off!" She shouts to drop the transformation. Once stood Ladybug now in her place a ravenette familiar and dear to him. A slow growing smile quickly vanishes. Emerald green stare into bluebell eyes unmoving. "Liar? Your not looking at mirror Marinette. You were never honest with yourself, let alone with me." Tikki moves in front of Marinette glaring at Adrien.
"Now let's all take a minute and calm down. Adrien you shouldn't be so harsh on-"
"Sugarcube don't try telling MY KITTEN what to do." Plagg's voice grow grave. His acid green eyes bore into his counterpart's dark blue ones. "Your Bugs never appreciated my Kittens. They always sacrificed everything for them their hearts, souls hell their very lives. To only receive backlash, disrespect and pity affection... that doesn't last them. I always told you, the secret identity thing was unnecessary and highly stupid."
Adrien didn't feel like he could breath. How much did his predecessors truly suffer?!
Tikki turns from Adrien to Plagg. "Plagg your holders can't fix everything. They need to protect my ladybugs. It's right balance and you know it. They couldn't just destroy things without thinking or planning ahead. When Hwakmoth was causing terror it was necessary-" Adrien cuts her off in Plagg's defense. "Tikki, Hwakmoth is in jail. Finally gone Are you saying if we had more to deal with, Ladybug would have kept me in the dark?!" The betrayed Agreste shouts.
"Don't yell at Tikki. You mangy cat. I wouldn't have told you, for fear of disappointing you. When now I see I'm the one whom should feel that way." Mari glares at Adrien as Tikki floats towards her Bug to sit on her shoulder.
"Your disappointed? Ha that's a laugh. Now before this gets mew-ore catastrophic-" Mari groans "Can you shut up with puns at all?" "Don't tell the Kid to shut up. Only I can do that!" Adrien scratches Plagg behind the ears smiling softly. Continuing as if Marinette hadn't spoken.
"-you now know everything M'Lady. So your decision on Williams's offer?" Adrien spits out M'Lady with venom. Mari takes a breath, eyes unafraid. "I'm taking it. Now I'm guessing your not Kitty?" She spits back her own venom. He smirks darkly. "I wasn't before and definitely not taking it now. Good luck, without me." Adrien calls for the transform Cat Noir bows dramatically before he turns Marinette's voice fills his ears. "I will. Your never that lucky Adrien."
Cat Noir narrows his eyes at the Dupain-Cheng. Without a word he jumps disappearing off the Effiel Tower. Marinette runs to the edge watching as Cat Noir's silhouette moves further away. With a deep breath she masks her fury and pain. "Come on Tikki. I better tell Eric Williams my answer. Tikki Spots On."
Ladybug swings through the roofs. As she heads to where it all ened. She can't but think 'Adrien after everything. Lied to me from the beginning.' She lands in front of the Agreste mansion black gates. Her red gloved hand lightly touches their cold surface. When she turns away from the gates she sees Eric Williams and his assistant Raven Morris walking up. Before either say a single Ladybug says all Eric needed to hear...
"When do we start?"
