Adrien stopped by your room to make sure you were okay before he snuck out. He told Nathalie that he was feeling unwell and Mr. Agreste was expected to be working late into the night on a new line of ball gowns that was to be finished within the month if he was going to make the magazine deadline. 

After you were sure Adrien was gone and wouldn't see you leave your window, you transformed and took off into the night. You were going to camp out near Bercy Arena, where the concert was being held, so that you could keep an eye out and ensure everyone's safety. 

The stage was brightly lit, and you could hear the loud chanting of the crowd as BLACKPINK began singing and dancing. It was already dark out, and the stars were drowned out by the stage lights shining into the sky. From your spot, everyone looked like little ants, you could make out blurry blobs of color, but that was because of your enhanced sight. 

About halfway through the second song, you felt a presence behind you. You swiftly grabbed your nunchucks off your waist band and held them out. "Show yourself!" you yelled forcefully. From the shadows emerged a male in a black suit, the hourglass shape vibrant on his chest. "Spider," you realized. 

His hands were raised in compliance, but he smirked at you, as if to say he'd enjoy taking you in a fight. "Relax," he cooed. "I'm here to watch over the concert." He dropped his hands and nudged his head toward the arena.

You holstered your nunchucks and nodded. "It's nice to officially meet you, I'm Batwing." You took a seat on the ledge of the building and he took a seat beside you. 

"So, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Same as you- watching over the concert."

"I mean, why aren't you down there enjoying it?"

"Drew the short straw for patrol," you chuckled. Spider shifted his legs slightly, so that his knee was touching yours. A couple more inches and he'd be flush against your thigh. You moved away slightly, trying to make it seem as though you hadn't noticed. "What about you?"

"I was going to go, but the girl I asked didn't want to go with me- said she was busy with something."

 The tension grew a bit, and the silence became a bit awkward after a minute or so. "You have a horrendous, don't you? Not a miraculous," you asked, trying to relax the air.

"That's right. I balance the Ladybug miraculous and the Bat horrendous."

"How so?"

"Well, the Ladybug creates, the Cat destroys. You repair, and I break." He fiddled with the two bolas mounted on his waist. "I can break things down into what they're made of or I can prevent something from working. The same way a spider uses venom to break down the insides of its prey."

"Where did the web come from?"

"That's just something I've been able to develop over the years." You raised your eyebrows in surprise. You were completely blown away to hear that he had been doing this for years. It excited you to think that there were abilities you hadn't unlocked yet. Before you could respond, your ears twitched. Spider tensed up, "what is it," he asked. 

You looked out over the arena. "Something's going on. I think someone has been akumatized."

When you arrived to the arena you and Spider ran up to the front gates where security was still posted. You rushed past them, and they didn't try to stop you. You and Spider came out to where the rest of the crowd was. But it hadn't been easy as everyone was screaming and running around. You managed to get up on a high railing over the crowd and began jumping your way over to the stage. Spider followed suit. 

"Ladybug and Chat Noir should be here any minute!" you shouted as you neared the stage. Little did you know that Adrien and Marinette were stuck in the group they had come with. Nothing they had tried to do allowed them to get away. 

On the stage you could see an akumatized woman with bright pink hair and absurdly large black sunglasses over her eyes. She had on a bright pink top that matched her hair, with rhinestones that jutted out sharply. He pants were skintight with tears along the sides, and her shoes were so high you weren't sure they were possible to walk in. She carried a large microphone in her left hand, and used her right hand to conjure a tiny music note that hovered in her hand.

"I am Melody Masher!" she growled at you. "And I want Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculouses!" She threw her hand out and music notes the size of cars shot out towards you. You dove over them and landed with a forward roll. You pulled out your nunchucks and readied them. 

Spider came up behind you and readied his bolas in his right hand. He looked over at you, "akumas are your territory, you take the lead." You had never taken the lead before, but you knew you could do it, especially considering how competent Spider seemed to be.

"We need to figure out what object has been possessed by the akuma, and--" you ducked under another music note. 

"I don't want to dance with the riff-raff, I want Ladybug and Chat Noir!" Melody Masher screamed.

"--we need to destroy it so that she can go back to normal," you finished. You used your nunchucks to break apart an eighth note she shot at you. When you had cleared it and took another glance at her you realized it was Jennie Kim. Admittedly, you wondered if Chloe had upset her somehow, but that didn't make sense. Maybe something had happened backstage before the show. 

Spider swung his bolas at Melody Masher, but she jumped off the stage and into the crowd. She began singing, as she did so, a handful of people quit running away and began to come back toward you. Melody Masher was controlling people who had been hit by her music notes. 

"They're under her control," Spider muttered. 

You nodded. "You take care of the crowd and I'll take Melody Masher."

A/N: I'm looking to include little doodles of what I imagine Melody Masher and Spider to look like in the next chapter or so. I would have done it with this one, but I finished the chapter before the sketch. Hope you enjoyed!
