Hello there everyone how's it going for you today?

Well I just uploaded a couple of chapters to my other stories and also got a new one uploaded.

So in this chapter, Adrien goes about his day as usual and Max and Markov now part of Cat Noir's secret group will be helping complying evidence on Lila and expose her.

Also there will be a conversation between Lady Bug and Cat Noir.

Also I will reveal who will join the secret group next at the end.

So without any delay let's go.

I don't own any of this.


Chapter 5: making progress and asking for power


The next morning Adrien did his routine and got ready for the day, he had breakfast and was driven to school, when he got there, he managed to quickly avoided being hounded by Chloe and Lila and got to the classroom.

"Man I can't stand that liar Lila." He groaned as he sat down.

"I know but we'll get rid of her soon." Said Plagg.

"I hope." Replied Adrien.

Soon everyone else arrived and class began.

Adrien kept glancing at Marinette and his cheeks slowly turned red.

'Damn it Milady why do you make me feel like this?' he thought.

Soon it was lunch time and everyone was eating their meals.

Adrien was minding his own business and planning his next move when something annoying came his way.

"ADRIEN!"

Adrien had to suppressed the urge to groan as Chloe came up to him.

"What is it Chloe?" he said in a grumpy voice.

"Well there's a big party happening at a new club tonight and I got some VIP seats for it and I want you to come, so you're free?" she asked.

Adrien then just got up.

"Sorry I can't I got other plans." He said huffily.

And he just left leaving Chloe behind to fume.

"Ridiculous, utterly Ridiculous!" she said.

Adrien went to the locker rooms and Plagg came out from his shirt pocket.

Both of them laughed of what happened.

"Ok kid that was good!" laughed Plagg.

"Yeah never thought I had that in me. Oh man it felt good." He said.

"Honestly about time you did that, seriously that girl is a few drones short of a beehive." Said Plagg.

"Ironic since she's Queen Bee." Adrien chuckled.

Just then there was an explosion outside and it was Pixelator attacking again.

"Aw Damn it really? Come on Hawk Moth give the heroes a break." Adrien complained.

"Sometimes I wish he did give us a break." Said Plagg popping out.

"Well duty calls, Plagg claws out!" he said.

He then changed into Cat Noir and went to fight Pixelator and Ladybug came to join the fight.

"Ready Bugaboo?" he said.

"Yeah Kitty let's do this and stop calling me that!" said Ladybug.

"Never!" shouted Cat Noir.


(One Akuma fight later)


After defeating Pixelator and restoring everything back to normal the heroes were being admired by the people.

"Well that's it Kitty, gotta go." Said Ladybug ready to head home.

"Wait Milady there's something I want to ask you." Said Cat Noir.

"Sorry Kitty but I gotta go." Ladybug said as her earrings beeped.

Cat Noir knew she was right and his ring beeped.

"Ok but meet me at our usual spot after sunset I need to talk to you." He said and left.

'I wonder he wants to talk about.' She thought as she swing for home.

Cat Noir found a secluded place to change back and feed Plagg to recharge.

After a few minutes Plagg was done and Adrien said "Claws out." And changed back into Cat Noir.

Just then his cat phone went off.

"Who could be calling?" he said and answer it.

"Hello Cat Noir this is Matrix." Said Max.

"Matrix what is it?" asked Cat Noir.

"Listen, I was able to do some work and made some progress on getting evidence on Lila and well I looked up on the sites of Jagged Stone and well according to what I found, there was no record of her meeting him or 'saving his cat.' Since he's allergic to fur." Said Max.

"that's good Matrix, good work, but we still need more." Cat Noir said.

"I know but listen, I think we need to expand our numbers and maybe get another Miraculous holder to help us." Max said.

"Good idea but I need to run it by Ladybug first." He said.

"Alright then, I'll contact her soon." Replied Cat Noir.

"Okay Well I better get back to it, I'll contact you later." Said Max.

"Ok be careful Matrix and good luck." Said Cat Noir and ended the call.

He then headed back to school.

Soon the rest of the day went by and Adrien was at home and wondering what to say to Ladybug when Shades appeared from a vortex.

"I'm guessing you wanted to talk to me." He said.

"I do Shades." Adrien said and he told him what Max said.

"I see Adrien, well I guess it wouldn't hurt to expand the ranks a bit more, but who do you have in mind?" asked Shades.

"Viperion." He said.

"Ah Luka then." Said Shades a bit surprised.

"Yeah I think we need the power of 2nd chance to help us, since the rabbit is too dangerous with time travel." Adrien explained.

"True and we'll have to resort to that as a absolutely last resort." Shades said.

Adrien and Plagg nodded.

"So now what?" asked Plagg.

Adrien then noticed the sun was setting meaning it was getting closer to the time to meet up with Ladybug.

"Go Adrien and meet up with your Lady and ask for the horse and the snake Miraculous." Said Shades.

Adrien and Plagg nodded.

"I'll come back in 4 days." Said Shades and he spun into a vortex and disappeared.

"Well Plagg we gotta go, Claws out!" he said and he changed into Cat Noir.

He soon made it to the patrol spot and waited for Ladybug.

It was about 20 minutes when Ladybug arrived.

"So Kitty what's going on?" she asked.

Cat Noir then looked at Ladybug.

"Hey there milady." He said.

"So what did you want to talk about?" she asked him.

He then stared at Ladybug and for a moment imagining the mask gone and there was Marinette's face.

'God I've been such a blind fool.' He thought.

"Listen Ladybug." He began sounding serious. "I'm doing a bit of a mission, but I will need help."

"What kind of mission?" she asked.

"A bit of a undercover work." Cat Noir answered.

"Well maybe I can help." She said hopefully.

But Cat Noir's face remained serious.

"Milady I'm sorry but you can't come on this mission, you have to stay and protect Paris and Rena Rogue and Carapace can cover for me while I'm away." He told her.

"But why?" she asked in a concern tone.

"I can't tell you Bugaboo, I can't not yet." Said Cat Noir.

Plagg and Shades knows that Adrien really wants to tell Marinette/Ladybug how he really feels but he knows it's not the time, not yet.

"But how long will you be gone?" she asked.

"Probably not too long, but I do know that I might need some help, so if it's ok may I borrow Viperion and Pegasus for my mission?" he asked.

Ladybug was surprised by her partner's suggestion for those heroes, for him to ask for them it must be serious.

"Why them?" asked Ladybug.

"Because Pegasus' power of teleport and Viperion' ability of second chance can be useful, but I will need one more Miraculous but only as an absolute last resort." Explained Cat Noir.

"Which one would that be?" she asked.

"The Rabbit Miraculous." He answered.

Ladybug's eye widen in pure shock, they both know that the Rabbit Miraculous which takes form of a pocket watch, is one of the most powerful and most risk taking and dangerous of the Miraculous, because it grants whoever wields it the power to travel through time.

"Why the rabbit?" she asked him.

"In case things go really wrong." He answered.

Ladybug had to understand the reasoning behind his need for 3 Miraculous jewels.

"Ok then." She said.

She then pulled her yo-yo and opened it up and got the Horse glasses, Snake bracelets and the Rabbit pocket watch.

Cat Noir put the Rabbit Miraculous in his suit pocket and put the glasses and the bracelet on.

"Now Cat Noir I trust you to protect those Miraculous and when your secret mission is done, you will return those 3 to me." She said.

"Of course milady I promise." Said Cat Noir.

"Well good luck on your mission kitty." Said Ladybug.

But before she was about to leave, Cat Noir grabbed her wrist.

"What is it Cat Noir?" she said.

"Well before I go, milady, with your permission." He said to her.

Ladybug sighed as she knew what he wanted, but this could be the last time she'll see him for a while so.

"Ok kitty." She said.

Then they stood in front of each other and then they slowly leaned in and had a slow but passionate kiss.

Cat Noir slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and Ladybug wrapped her arms around his neck as they kissed.

Cat Noir was really happy, he was kissing his lady/best friend and he gave his word that he'll be back.

Ladybug was surprised by the kiss, but she kissed back because there was a part of her that did love Cat Noir and that was slowly growing, but she still love Adrien, but like most things that can change.

They parted lips and released each other.

"Bye Bugaboo." Said Cat Noir with a blush on his face.

"Bye Kitty." Said Ladybug who was blushing as well.

They both took off at once.

Cat Noir arrived at Max's home and gave him the glasses which contained Kaalki who was happy to see Max again.

"Ok Max I kept my word, but you can change into Pegasus and send me to the Liberty houseboat?" asked Cat Noir.

"Of Course Cat Noir." Said Max as he put them on.

"Kaalki Full Gallop!"

Max was then changed into Pegasus.

"Voyage!" he said opening a portal to the houseboat.

"Thanks Pegasus and remember not a word of this to Ladybug and keep Kaalki safe." Said Cat Noir as he went into the portal.

"Will do and thanks!" said Pegasus as the portal closes.

"Kaalki Dismount." He said.

He then changed back into Max.

Soon Cat Noir arrived at the Liberty houseboat and there was Luka on the deck playing on his guitar.

Adrien knew that Luka like Marinette and he did feel a spring of jealously within him, but he shoved it away and focused on the task at hand, there was no time for jealousy.

'Let's get this over with.' He thought.

He made his way onto the boat and went up to Luka.

Luka was strumming the guitar when he saw Cat Noir coming up to him.

"Cat Noir what brings you here this evening?" he asked.

Cat Noir then took a deep breath and said. "Luka I need your help."

"What do you mean?" Luka asked.

Cat Noir sat down.

"It's a bit of a long story." He said.

"Well I got time." Said Luka.

"Ok then." Replied Cat Noir.


'looks like Cat Noir got a bit of a story to tell Luka.'


(to be continued)


Alright that ends this chapter.

Sorry for the wait.

Ok now then in the next chapter Cat Noir explains what's going on, but keeps Shade's name out for a lot of reasons and after explaining what's going on with Marinette, Luka is on board.

Now as for the rabbit miraculous, Adrien will be holding on to it and will use it as an absolute last resort just in case.

Also I hope you enjoy the little kiss between ladynoir.

Now in the next chapter I did say I will reveal one clue about Shades and that will be reveal near the end of the chapter.

There will be more clues later on.

Now the next chapter will have Viperion, Cat Noir and Pegasus and Markov do a bit of tailing on Lila and see what she's up to.

Now I will say this will keep going until ch10.

As Cat Noir will be doing some secret stuff, Ladybug will have Rena Rogue and Carapace to help her while he's busy.

But I will say this ch8 will focus on Ladybug for the time being with Cat Noir on the side.

I got something planned for ch10 and 11.

Alright then that's it for now, I am off to get some rest and then work on the next chapter for another story and then get to work on a new crossover chapter.

So read and review.

No rude insults and no rude reviews.

Until next time
