Chapter 1: A Plan
3rd Person P.O.V.
Two familiar figures, one red and one black, sat on top of the Eiffel tower, hidden from the public eye, cuddling together.
Their fingers interlaced, they watched the bustling world below, framed by the sunset.
The two lovebirds sat together in comfortable silence for some time, both reluctant to break the serene silence. At last the spotted Heroine gave a deep sigh, and begun,
"Hawk Moth's villains just keep getting bigger and badder, we are running out of time." The leather-clad feline turned to face her, and, after planting a delicate kiss on her cheek, responded
"You are saying we need to figure out who he is?" She blushed and nodded, then turned back to the view beneath them, watching all the citizens of Paris scurry around with no fear, confident that Ladybug and Chat Noir would protect them. Her smile shifted to a sad one.
"What's wrong M'lady?" She gazed at him, and her chin wobbled slightly, as did her voice,
"It just feels like so much Responsibility. All of these people depending on us. If we were to ever fail, all of them..." gesturing to the people below, "...would get hurt. You know that Hawk Moth is creating more and more dangerous Villains, each one more reckless and desperately harder to defeat than the last one. I'm scared Chat, what if we let them down? What if-" she choked up and buried her head in his chest, and he softly held her, gently stroking Ladybug's hair. Feeling her trembles, Chat wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly,
"Shh, it's okay Bugaboo, we'll deal with this together."
They sat like that for a few moments, until Ladybug's breathing was once again steady.
Chat Noir took the lead,
"Okay. We just need to come up with a plan, right?" Ladybug looked down.
"Right M'lady?" he insisted. She drew in an unstable breath,
"Right."
He nodded, thinking for a moment,
"So let's break this up into pieces. So first we have the problem. One, that's Hawk Moth. Two is his villains. Now the obstacle in the way of us getting to Hawk Moth is his villains, yes?" Chat Noir paused until Ladybug nodded, then continued, "alright, so we need to figure out a way to get past the villains and to Hawk Moth. The problem is we don't know where or who Hawk Moth is. The way I see it, we need to review all of our past battles, I'm positive at least one of the Villains must have gone to his lair. We just have to think... which Villain-"
"Dark Owl!" The heroine suddenly interrupted.
Chat Noir, temporarily taken aback, looked confused,
"Dark Owl?"
She smirked,
"Yes, Dark Owl. Remember when he took our 'Miraculous'? There was a long delay before he realised they were fake, and only one person would have known. Hawk Moth. That means that Dark Owl somehow sent the Miraculous to him! All we would need to do is-" she broke which a small growl of frustration, and the alley cat looked at her with inquiring eyes,
"What is it?"
The bug buried her head in her hands and murmured,
"Never mind, it's a stupid idea." Chat Noir immediately pulled away her hands and held them in his own, saying in a soft voice,
"Look at me."
When she didn't, he repeated,
"Hey, look at me."
And the teen girl slowly lifted her head and looked at him.
Chat Noir, nodded, satisfied, and continued,
"Don't say that. Have a little faith in yourself. I'm sure it is a good idea M'lady," then he leant forward engagingly, encouraging her, "tell me what it is."
"But-"
"Shh. It's okay, it's just me, yea? Nobody else. You can trust me."
"Well... I was thinking that we could follow him or whatever he used to send the Miraculous, back to Hawk Moth. But for that we would have to go back in time..." they lapsed into silence for a few moments, before remembering-
"Bunnix!" They both exclaimed in unison, then burst into supressed laughter, holding onto each other.
Once their merriment had died down, they began to converse and toss around ideas, perfecting their plan. At last they were done, and agreed to go to Master Fu after school tomorrow and tell him.
As the night darkened, both reluctantly got up to leave, neither wanting to let go. With a farewell kiss, Ladybug whispered
"See you tomorrow Kitty," and Chat Noir tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear, purring,
"See you later M'lady."
