Chapter 4 - Nino's back in business!

Narrator:

"Hey Mari, can you pass me some pancakes?" Adrien politely called
"This is your third batch! How hungry are you?" Marinette asked in astonishment as she was trying to balance the stack of pancakes on the plate
"You can never eat this kind of food in the T.A.S.! They always make you eat these weird gooey foods that give you 'protein'" Adrien said as he stuffed pancakes in his mouth
"Makes sense" Marinette rolled her eyes

Suddenly, a repetitive doorbell was heard on the door

Marinette was about to open the door before Adrien grabbed her hand. "Wait!"
"H-huh?"
"Take your yo-yo" Adrien commanded
"What's wrong?!" Marinette started to get nervous
"The 'bad guys' might've discovered our location!"
Marinette took her yo-yo. She also took a hockey mask and a hockey stick then gave both of it to Adrien "Wear this. You're doing all the fighting anyways."
Adrien nodded. Marinette took a football helmet and prepared her stance
"Open the door in 3...
.
....2...
.
1""

Marinette quickly opened the and they both shouted to threaten the potential enemy, though all they saw was a Latino-looking boy with glasses
"Nino!" Adrien greeted with tears in his eyes, hugging the stranger at the door
"Adrien!!~" Nino said as he was hugging his blonde friend with snot pouring out of his nose
"Am I missing something?" Marinette raise an eyebrow
"Oh yeah. Nino, this is Marinette the boss's daughter. Marinette, this is Nino, my pal." Adrien introduced the, to each other
"Hello there." Nino smiled courteously
"Don't fall for the cute braid and freckles, she's feisty and she'll kill you once she has the chance." Adrien whispered in his friend's ear.
"What was that blonde?" Marinette spun her yo-yo
"Nothing princess~ no need to fret! This dynamic duo is unstoppable. No enemy will be able to get near you!" Adrien put his elbow on his friend's shoulder
"Oh and by the way dude! How did you get out!!?" Adrien shook his friend
"The— er— uh...the boss.....he..sacrificed himself for me...." Nino rubbed his arm, seemingly distressed
"D-dude...I'm so sorry...wait...what happened to boss Dupain?"
"The enemy...t-they captured him.... He told me to run to your address because he knew you needed backup while protecting his daughter. The enemy just..came out of nowhere...." he looked down, avoiding eye contact
"D-dad..." Marinette started to shiver with tears in her eyes "n-no..."
Marinette crunched her hand into a fist "I'm gonna get those sickos."
"I sure hope you guys do.." Nino rubbed the back of his neck

"Hey dude! Since you've got no place to crash, why don't you stay here for a while! Marinette had this thing called pancakes and it tastes great!" Adrien smiled bright
"Thanks dude! I knew I could count on you!" Nino smiled back
"Alrighty, time to buy some more pancake mix. Gotta head to the store." Marinette sighed, knowing how much work she'll have to balance. School and taking care of 2 "bodyguards".
"Hey! Wait for me! You could get killed out there you know!" Adrien ran to her "Come on Nino!"
"Yeah! I'll catch up with you guys! Give me a minute!" He yelled back







They're not gonna figure out sir."
"Good. Remember, you're fighting with us or everything you love his gone in a flash."
"Yes sir."
