Adrien walked down the stairs with Nathalie to his father's office.

It felt more like he was going to a meeting rather than going to see his father.

Nathalie knocked on the door and Gabriel said for them to enter. Nathalie and Adrien walked in, Nathalie closing the door behind them.

"Are you alone with the girl?" Gabriel immediately asked. "Yes." Hello to you too father.

Gabriel threw him a cold glare, "You know it's not acceptable to be alone in a room with a young lady, much less a bedroom!"

What is this? 1864? "We weren't doing anything! Alya and Nino left not that long ago and we were only alone together for less than 10 minutes before Nathalie came in," Adrien responded.

Nathalie raised a brow at this, Nothing my butt.

Gabriel turned to Nathalie and she quickly composed herself. "Nathalie?"

"He is telling the truth, sir. Adrien was still playing video games and the girl was sleeping on his bed," she backed Adrien up.

Adrien was rather surprised she did that. He kind of expected her to rat him out. "And why is she in your bed, Adrien?"

Adrien sighed, "Father she was tired. She got akumatized last night and it had a toll on her since she's new to the city. She had a hard time sleeping and was awoken early to come here.

"I let her sleep on my bed as she looked like she was going to pass out."

Gabriel turned to Nathalie again and she gave a single nod. "Very well," Gabriel cleared his throat.

Adrien expected it to be that but no, it's his father we're talking about.

Gabriel pestered him about his grades, Chinese classes, fencing, modeling, and his friends.

Adrien tuned out most of it as he hard heard the same speech for almost his entire life. It was practically scripted.

His happy mood was ruined and he dragged his feet up the stairs. He reached for the doorknob when he heard a voice.

"No way, this room is too nice and neat to be Chat's. I'd imagine his room to be a mess with dirty clothes, videos game everywhere, and old food."

He recognized the voice as Ladybug's.

"Who?"

Adrien quietly opened the door right as she asked that. "Adrien Agreste," he held back a grin.

.

Chat dropped Marinette off in front of an apartment building. He let her down and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "We'll be back soon, ok? Bye Mari."

He extended his staff and headed to the Louvre. Ladybug was already there talking to the police.

Chat landed next to her and asked what was going on. Ladybug turned to him and said, "The cops aren't really sure, but they believe it to be an akuma."

"Is it inside?" Chat asked turning to the cops. One of the cops nodded.

Chat turned back to LB and grinned. "So what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Both heroes rushed inside and froze almost immediately upon entering. "It's so. . . quiet. . ." Ladybug's voice echoed across the massive building.

"You could probably hear a pin drop," Chat added.

Both heroes walked carefully, keeping an eye out of anything. Suddenly, Chat felt something barely miss his shoulder.

Chat and LB quickly turned to face the direction it came from, but there wasn't anyone nor was there an actual object. "Did I imagine that?" Chat looked around, confused.

Ladybug shook her head, "No, I felt something pass me too."

"Do you think the akuma is invisible? Like that other girl we did? You think it could be her again?" Chat asked.

"Highly, unlikely. Hawkmoth wouldn't waste his time like that," Ladybug responded.

They both continued walking, keeping an eye out for any movement. Suddenly, Ladybug felt something pull on her ponytail. "What the—"

Before she could even finish, she began to get dragged away. "Chat!"

"Ladybug!" Chat quickly ran after her. He looked to see what was dragging her, but there was nothing.

Being startled by that, Chat tripped and fell forward. He felt something tug at his tail and he was being dragged next to Ladybug.

He turned around to see, once again, nothing. Chat took out his staff and threw it. Nothing happened, it just flew across the room.

Chat felt for something grabbing his tail and Ladybug felt for something grabbing her ponytail. Again, they saw nothing and felt nothing.

Ladybug grabbed her yoyo and swung it to a steel pole in the ceiling. She pulled on it and grabbed Chat's hand. They were hoisted up and they felt a tug of resistance, but they escaped.

Both heroes landed on the steel pole and they looked around. Again, there was nothing.

"What the hell is going on?" Ladybug thought outloud.

"How can we fight an akuma if we can't even see it?!" Chat threw his hands up in the air.

As he did that, he felt something grab his wrists and pull him up. He was thrown to the floor and he made a loud grunt as the hit the floor.

Ladybug gasped and spun her yoyo as a shield. She looked around and still saw nothing.

Frustrated, she called out her lucky charm. A metal detector fell to her hands and Ladybug stared at it confused.

Chat, having have gotten up from the painful fall, went back up using his staff. "Why would we need a metal detector?" he asked.

Ladybug looked around for clues but nothing came to mind. "I don't know, Chat. This is so strange."

Chat nodded. Both heroes jumped down and walked around cautiously. Out of nowhere, the detector went off as Chat was tackled to the ground.

Ladybug turned the detector to him and suddenly she could vaguely see someone on top of Chat.

She reached to grab them but her hand went through and hit Chat's chest.

"What the fuck!" Chat exclaimed. It could touch them, but they couldn't touch it.

Ladybug brought the medal detector closer and the akuma shrieked, getting off Chat and disappearing again.

"That thing isn't just invisible, it's a damn ghost, we can't touch it!" Ladybug said through gritted teeth.

"Then how the hell are we going to stop it?!" Chat threw his hands up again. Remember what happened earlier, he put them down quickly.

A single beep gave a warning. They were so concentrated on the akuma, they forgot Ladybug was running out time.

"Shit, if I transform back, I'll lose the defector and I never get the same thing twice," Ladybug said frustrated.

"I'll go find one quickly, you recharge," Chat said. Before LB could protest, he ran out.

Chat ran outside and to the cops. "You guys don't happen to have a metal detector, do you?" he asked.

The cops looked confused. One piped up and took out a small handheld one from his car. "I have thi—"

"Perfect! Thanks!" Chat took it and ran back inside.

Ladybug was already transformed. "I have a small one," Chat told her. She nodded, "Good, it should help."

The heroes walked around the main room they were in and found nothing.

"Do you think it left?" Chat asked. "If it did, we're fucked. The museum is large," Ladybug replied.

"Well we don't really have a choice."

Both heroes continued walking for an hour. Neither used their power so they had plenty of time.

The detector would go off, but due to the metal exhibitions. "This is pointless! We don't even know where it is! Come out you pussy!" Ladybug screamed across the building.

It was deserted so no one heard. Chat raised a brow, "Geez, moms are so cranky."

Ladybug shot him a glare and he held his hands up. Big mistake. The metal detector went crazy and Chat was thrown to an exhibit, breaking the priceless statue.

Chat groaned, "Why only me?!"

Ladybug backed up to a wall and moved the detector around herself. It had died down, but there was still movement.

Ladybug called out her lucky charm again and a small bag with what seemed to be glitter fell to her hand.

She frowned. She brought it up closer to her face and noticed it wasn't glitter, it was shredded, thin metal.

Her eyes darted to the bag, the metal detector, Chat, and a few paintings behind him.

Ladybug threw the metal detector at Chat and he caught it pointing it right where the akuma was. She motioned towards the paintings and he nodded.

Ladybug opened the bag and threw the metal pieces towards the akuma.

It's figure came to show as the pieces stuck to it. "Now!"

Chat threw back the metal detector and grabbed two paintings. He hit the akuma with them, the canvases sticking to it's body and giving it more form.

The akuma tried to escape but the frames kept it in place. A small bracelet was seen on it's arm.

Chat called out his cataclysm and destroyed the bracelet. The akuma flew out and Ladybug purifed it.

Every art piece was fixed and back in place.

"How did you know that would work?' Chat asked. "I didn't."

A young girl appeared in front them. They gave her back her bracelet and escorted her out.

The cops drove her home and the heroes quickly ran across the city to LB's appartment.

They detransformed in an alley and walked up to the building. Jasmine unlocked the door, not needing to call in. "I hope Mari isn't too worried," Adrien said.

"We were gone for almost two hours, she's probably worried sick," Jasmine replied.

Adrien saw the stairs and groaned. Jasmine laughed and walked up the stairs, a tired Adrien dragging his feet behind.

When Adrien finally got up, Jasmine was already being attacked by a worried teen and a newborn.

'What took so long?!' Mari mouthed. The baby cooed, as if asking the same thing. Jasmine took the baby and Marinette practically threw herself at Adrien, almost knocking him down the stairs.

He grabbed the railing and steadied himself. Marinette hugged him tightly for someone so small.

"We're fine, princess. The akuma was quite different from others and we had a hard time. It was at the Louvre and you know how big that thing is," Adrien kissed her forehead.

"Come in, both of you, we all need to relax," Jasmine spoke up.

The couple nodded and walked in with Jasmine, Marinette ready with questions about the encounter.
