Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

Adrien groaned and turned towards his alarm. Slapping his nightstand aggressively, causing his phone to fall to the floor. Still beeping.

He groaned again, shoving his head underneath the pillow.

"Kid I'm all for skipping school, but turn off the alarm please!" Plagg yelled from across the bed.

"You do it!" Adrien grumbled.

"You and I both know I can't touch the screen."

Adrien didn't respond, he just pushed the pillow harder over his ears.

"Ugh!" Plagg flew over to the phone, picked it up, and threw it at Adrien.

"Ow!" Adrien sat up staring angrily at the small cat. He grabbed the phone and turned off the alarm.

Plagg flew back down onto the bed as Adrien stood up and stretched.

"Man, I'm exhausted!"

"Maybe you wouldn't be if you weren't out all night stealing things." Plagg stated.

He raised an eyebrow at him then smiled.

"I think it was worth it." Adrien rubbed his finger over Plagg's forehead.

Plagg pushed Adriens hand off his head. "Yeah, sure. I see the eye-bags!"

Adrien rolled his eyes and walked into the bathroom. He ruffled his hair and looked into the mirror, green eyes starting back at him.

He gently touched his right cheek. A scar. Rather small, but big impact in his life. It started at the bottom of his right eye, stoping halfway down his cheek. His mother had died when he got that, long before this whole 'chat noir' business.

Adrien grabbed the makeup off his counter and quickly covered his scar and the eye bags.

He changed and ran out the door with his bag in hand.


"Not again!! Marinette!!!" Tikki whined.

Marinette booked it around the room, frantically getting ready for the day.

This was the third time this week she had slept through her alarm. Every time she did, Tikki tried her best to wake her up but nothing ever got her out of bed.

"That. stupid. Cat." Marinette said in between brushing her teeth.

Tikki sighed and placed the homework in her backpack, then flying into her purse as Marinette raced out the door having eaten nothing for breakfast.

Marinette ran into the school right before the door was shut and made it into the classroom just as the teacher started talking.

Mrs. Bustier chuckled slightly at Marinette's awkward smile as she waddled to her seat.

Alya patted her on the shoulder and dug out her school books, Marinette did the same.

She was about to write something but reached down and realized she forgot her pen. She bent over searching her bag with no luck. As she sat back up she saw a nice black pen and a small note on a small ripped piece of paper.

The note read: "Did you sleep in again?"

Marinette looked up at the person sitting a row in front of her, then quickly doodled a note back.

"Is it obvious?"

She dropped the note down onto Adrien's desk when the teacher wasn't looking.

She got a response rather quickly.

"You have eye-bags, also you forgot your pencil case again."

Marinette sighed. If she hadn't had to wait out at the museum she wouldn't have to miss sleep, which caused her to be too tired to wake up on time.

"You cut it close this morning." Adrien wrote.

"I know, but I wasn't late...so"

"You were close tho- how much sleep did you get last night?"

"Not enough."

"Why not?"

Marinette had to take a hot minute to think of a response.

"Homework."

Adrien read the note, nodded slightly then set the paper down to focus on the teacher.

Marinette and Adrien had gotten really close over the last few years. (Maybe even closer than her and Alya) They met when they were 13 and 14, now they were 15 and 16. They were best friends. They always told each other everything ( Well, almost everything) and loved each other's company. If either of them were sad they would give them a hug and ask if they'd like to talk about it, if they didn't the other wouldn't pry.

Throughout the day, Marinette half payed attention to the most of the lessons and almost fell asleep countless times. On the way out of the building Marinette heard someone call behind her.

"Marinette, wait!"

She turned around and saw Adrien racing towards her.

"I haven't seen you most of the day!" He whined.

"Yeah, why didn't you sit with me at lunch?"

"Chloe wouldn't let go of my arm." He dramatically rolled his eyes and leaned his head against Marinette's shoulder.

She smiled sympathetically, ruffling his hair.

"Anyways," He stood up straight. "Homework, huh?"

"What- oh yeah!" She almost forgot about there notes earlier. "Homework sucks."

"Well, if you ever need a tutor just call me."

"Will do." She sighed.

There was small amount of silence before Adrien spoke.

"Well, my cars here to pick me up." He pointed to the door. "I'll see you later!"

Marinettea wave got interrupted with a hug. She blushed slightly then finished the wave as he ran to his car.


7:23 pm. Ladybug was outside sitting on a roof waiting for someone. It didn't take long for that someone to glide up onto the roof.

"Sorry I took so long." A young lad walked over to her. He had fluffy short black hair with purple tips. He was wearing a black, grey and and purple body suit. He had a small butterfly clip in his hair, along with a butterfly on his stringy belt. The most prominent thing about him apart from his bright blue eyes were the medium sized wings on his back.

"You didn't take long at all, I only got here a few minuets ago." Ladybug smiled.

"Oh, that's good." Lavender moth chuckled.

She stood up and walked over to him.

"So, how did that museum thing go?" He asked.

Ladybugs expression shift to something of annoyance.

"Oh! Not well, huh?"

She nodded and sighed. "He got away again..."

"Sorry, I should've come." He looked at the ground sadly.

"No, you said you had a test, don't stress about it!" She placed a hand on his shoulder.

"We should focus." She stated. He nodded in agreement.

"Normal patrol?"

"Yeah."

He grabbed a small butterfly attached to his belt. Flipping the wings caused a small screen to open. He clicked a small button and a map appeared. He started swiping around looking at the map.

The butterfly miraculous had one main ability but it also had a smaller ability, similar to how ladybug can make 'lucky charms' and 'miraculous ladybugs' lavender moth can use his butterfly's to recruit people to join there team with there own powers for a short amount of time. But he also has the ability to sense peoples emotions. Just the general positive and negative though, nothing crazy.

So even though ladybug couldn't see anything on the map, lavender moth could see small red and yellow dots scattered across the screen. Yellow for positive emotions and red for negative.

After a couple seconds he pointed to a small area on the map.

"There's a good amount of red here." Lavender moth said.

"Okay, send me the location." She dug out her yo-yo and found it on her map.

"Let's go."

He nodded and followed as she swung off the building.

It didn't take long for them to get to the spot. It wasn't anything crazy, just a small fist fight they needed to break up. Luckily no one was majorly injured. Ladybug used her lucky charm and easily fixed some things up.


Chat noir on the other hand wasn't having as easy of a time.

-Time- 8:23

He had gotten stuck in between some muggers that were trying to steal some man's stuff. The guy already ran away, luckily unscathed. Chat noir on the other hand had gotten cornered in an alley. There were two muggers both male, probably in there late 20's.

They were wielding knives but Chat noir quickly kicked them out of there hands, causing the weapons to land multiple feet away.

Scoffing, Chat Noir continued to fight them off. He was definitely a better fighter than the two men, even then one of them still managed to land a good blow to chat noir's lower rib.

He grunted and fell into the brick wall behind him, but managed to pick himself up quickly. He grabbed his staff, forcefully extending it causing it to shoot one of the muggers in the side of the head, knocking him unconscious.

The second guy instantly lunged towards chat, throwing a punch towards his head. He ducked, dodging by a few inches.

Chat noir jumped backwards doing a slight handstand as he placed his hands on the cold concrete and swung his leg towards the side of the man's head. His foot landed causing the man to hit his head on the brick, knocking him out.

Adrien let out a soft breath. Pulling his staff down towards his side like a sword. He clicked the small paw print on the side allowing it to shrink back to its original size.

He walked over to knives he had flung earlier, shuffling them slowly with his feet towards the bodies. Even though his costume had gloves he didn't want to risk leaving finger prints.

After pushing the weapons out in the open he reached into the coat pocket of one of the men and pulled out his phone.

Swiping to the left he dialed 112.

"Hello 112, what's your emergency."

Chat noir cleared his throat then in a fake deep voice he spoke into the phone.

"Yes hi, I was walking down the side walk on market street and dude. I heard fighting in the alleyway next to me and looked in and saw these two random dudes fighting. I think they had weapons I didn't stare long enough to tell. Anyways thought I'd call. But like, I'm super busy dude. So, Uhm market street."

Before the operator had a chance to say anything Adrien hung up the phone.

He slammed the phone against the brick wall leaving multiple shards dropping to the ground as he tossed the broken device into a dumpster.

Chat noir took a step back to give himself a boost as he jumped up to the roof of one of the buildings.

It only took a few minuets for a police car to come rolling down the street. He crouched when he saw the officer park and open the door. Once he was certain the sherif saw the bodies he turned to walk across the rooftops.

Oddly enough it was really peaceful as he ran across the rooftops. The weather was nice, the wind was blowing through his hair and the sunset was beautiful.

Slowly he stopped in a quieter part of the city, where there were multiple warehouse buildings.

Chat noir peaked over the edge of building holding his hand against his forehead.

"Aha!" He whispered to himself as he leapt off the building.

He slowly walked down an alley, grabbing his staff He pushed it underneath a garage door, prying open.

It made a large clack noise as the locking mechanism was broken. Chat noir held the door open with his hand, it made small clicking noises as he pushed it up, then another clank when it crashed to the ground.

It was dark. He reached ahead and pulled down on a small hanging lightbulb. It was a rather small building but there was definitely a lack of lights.

He walked over to a dirty blue tarp hanging over some shelves in the back of the room.

He gently pulled it to the side and walked into a small isolated room. There was a a desk with some sticky-notes and a closed laptop on top of it.

There was a beanbag chair laying in the right corner next to a couple stacked boxes. In the opposite corner was a mini fridge.

He walked over to the desk and leaned against it.

"Plagg, claws in." He whispered.

He grunted as the costume disappeared. The suits magical ability included high pain-tolerance. So that punch to the ribs earlier came punching right back.

"You okay?" Plagg asked, carefully flying over to where Adrien was gripping his side.

"Nothing...I just forgot about it..." He breathed in then lifted his shirt to check.

There was a large purple bruise on his lower right side.

"Youch." Was all Plagg could think to say.

Adrien shifted to the left corner and opened the mini fridge, pulling out an ice bag, placing it on his side and flopped down on the beanbag chair. Grabbing the laptop on his way.

"Lemme guess..." Plagg sat down next to him. "You're not gonna get medical attention are you?"

"It's just a bruise, it'll go away."

"Not for a while!"

"So?"

"What if you have a photoshoot and need to take off your shirt? For like- a swimsuit or something?"

"It's September...a swimsuit collection? In fall?"

"Your father is spontaneous sometimes." Plagg shrugged.

Adrien chuckled. Plagg just stared at him with slight concern.

"Look..." Adrien held out his hand for Plagg to sit on. "I know you're worried but I'll be fine. I've gotten worse bruises."

"Who said I'm worried?" Plagg squinted.

Adrien raised an eyebrow with a smirk on his face.

Plagg folded his arms as Adrien moved his hand to open the laptop.

The screen flicked on to a bright white screen which lit the small space before it loaded to a picture of Marinette and Adrien laughing.

He swiped up on the mouse pad and typed in the password. It opened up already on a website. The ladyblog.

None of the superhero's had spoken out about how there powers worked but count on Alya to find out. She had worked out a lot of the details and was a crazy fan girl of ladybug and lavender moth. Even with the the picture she couldn't fit all the puzzle pieces, namely the miraculous.

Ladybug nor lavander moth have ever spoke out about how they got there powers or about the magical jewelry in general. Adrien hadn't found out about the miraculous until he had found his on the sidewalk. He was pretty sure that an older man had dropped it, and if that was the case then he probably had more miraculous, but honestly Adrien didn't care if there were more weird jewelry, he just wanted ladybugs earrings for the wish. He didn't really care about the power... I mean the cat powers are cool but that wasn't his main priority.

He swiped down on the website looking for any new activity, Which didn't seem like the case. Usually she updated it once a day and Adrien watched it like a hawk. More recently the blog hadn't been super helpful for information on the bug, but at the beginning of his chat noir journey it was really helpful.

The most recent post was a debate about weather or not ladybug should change her costume to make it more detailed like lavander moths. Which the majority said 'no.'

Adrien sighed and closed the laptop.

"It's past your bed time." Plagg stated.

"I don't have a bed time."

"What about your curfew?" Plagg raised an eyebrow.

Adrien rolled his eyes and laid his head back onto the beanbag chair.

"It's not like my father comes in my room." Adrien grumbled.

"What about Nathalie?"

Adrien looked around in thought for a minute then pried himself off the chair, groaning as he stood.

"Fine, I'll go home..."

Adrien pushed open the grey metal door on one of the walls and saw a figure jump from a rooftop as he stepped outside. He squinted trying to decipher who it was as they jumped off the rooftop.

"Good. You've had a lot of late nights recently and-"

"With maybe a small detour."

"Wait what-"

"Plagg claws out."
