I did not create this photo- thought it's was cute when I was scrolling through the internet. However, all credit goes to the creator of this cute chibi of Chat Noir

*~*

"Who is Knight Owl?" I ask walking along next to Adri. This whole day went by in a blur in all honesty. I slept for most of the classes due to my Jetlag, but apparently, nobody minded.

"He's a wannabe superhero who tries to be helpful, but always get himself into sticky situations," Adri explained that this was happening for a while now and that he suspected that Mr. Damocles was behind the mask.

"I mean, I know that he is trying to be helpful, but this is getting out of hand. Ladybug and Chat Noir already have their hands full."

"Oh yeah, I kind of forgot about them." I nervously twirled my hair on my pointer finger, "It's been so long since I last saw them. I wanted to say thank them for when they saved my life. But I really doubt that they will even remember me..."

"Don't say that" Adri suddenly stopped walking and looked at me, "You stand out against all of the other people who were involved in those attacks. Not just because of your looks, but because of your desire to help people. Didn't you go and rescue Alya when she was stuck in the coffin?" I nodded, looking away from Adri to look the courtyard. It was pretty much empty due to it now being the weekend.

"Oh that reminds me, Adri I have to go see Mr. Damocles before we go home." I said, walking back towards the stairs, "I'll catch up to you." Adri nods and walks over towards his friends. I turn around and head over towards the Principal's office.

Before I can even get that far, I got pulled into a room. Their force made me fall to the ground which made me pissed. I have no idea how much these floors are cleaned. Also on top of that, I'm wearing a skirt- I should've changed.

"What the hell is your problem?" I looked up to see two girls who were in Adri's class, "If you wanted to talk to me then you should've come up to me. Not to pull me in the Girls bathroom and to have my butt on the ground."

"Yeah yeah, whatever, I don't really care." One of the girls with blonde hair and blue eyes spoke, "What I do care is how close you are towards my Adrikens." She walked closer to me as her lips turn into a smirk. She is too close for my comfort- my bubble has been infested.

"What? Don't tell me that your one of Adri's fangirls." I said annoyed, "Tell me what you wanna say and I'll be on my merry way." Apparently, she didn't like that and got even closer.

"Don't tell me what to do! Do you even know who I am?!"

"Does it really matter?" I insisted as I got closer to her face and smirked. There was probably only a couple of centimeters between us.

"What's in it for me, Barbie's face?" At this point, I may be a dead man.

"Why you little-" she throws her face back as her face turns into disgust, "I shall let you know that I'm the Mayor's daughter!"

"So..." I looked at her dumbfounded, "What does that have to do with you being jealous of Adri and me?"

"I'm the Mayors Daughter! You should show some respect to those who are a higher rank than yourself." She said, "But, it seems that you are not familiar with the way on how things work around here." I looked behind her towards the redhead behind her.

"Seriously is she always like this? Dude, you need a new best friend" I said questionably.

"Hey!" The blonde roughly grabs my chin and turns me towards her, "I'm the one talking, not her."

"Well, you talk too much. Can you cut this short, please? I have to get back to Adri before he comes looking for me."

"Fine then-" she lets go of my face and crosses her arms across her non-existing chest, "Stay away from Adrikens or else." I stared at her for a couple of seconds before bursting out in laughter.

"You're serious? HAHAHA" I wrap my arms around my waist, "Him and I are inseparable so a person like you threatening me to stay away from him is pretty hard. Besides, you don't scare me- try your worse. It just shows how much of an ass you really are." I lift myself off the ground and dust myself off.

"I'm warning you, you are making a big mistake!" I look at her dead in the eye, trying to keep a poker face.

"If you looked at the mirror, you will see the big mistake. Now if you don't mind, I have to get back to Adri." I pushed past the girls and walked out of the bathroom. That's not the first time that this has happened. It's just pretty annoying, now that I also have to deal with that here.

"Right, I have to go to the principal's office," I mutter to myself in English.

This place is too confusing, it is taking me over 10 minutes to find on where Mr. Damocles's office was. It wasn't like I could go up to people and ask- there was no one here. I passed one of the doors but paused after hearing something. It sounded like a bad expression of an owl. I put one of my ears closer towards the door so I can hear more.

"Please repeat, I was unable to understand." A robotic male voice said.

"I'll just ask him on Monday or whenever I get a chance." I backed up away from the door and headed out towards the entrance of the school. Surprisingly, the front doors were unlocked so I was able to open them. I didn't get as far though because someone was right in front of the door.

"I'm going to go in to see-" He turns around, being a couple of inches away from me, "Oh? Hey, I was about to go get you" I smiled, and held back the urge to touch him- just to feel that tingling again.

"Sorry for taking so long, some girls wanted to talk to me," I said twisting my hair in between my fingers, "By the time I got to Mr. Damocles, he was- um busy?" Adri nodded and took my hand into his. That tingly feeling started up again, making me calm down a bit.

"Alright, we will talk more when we get home," Adri said, turning around and leading the way towards the limousine where all his friends were standing.

We said goodbye to everyone and got into the limo. It didn't take that long to get to Adri's house, and before I know it we are in Adri's room.

"Wow, this is your room?!" I giggled as I ran over towards the stairs that lead up where lots of bookshelves were. Looking down I could see Adri chuckling.

"Well yeah, do you like it?"

"Like it? No, I love it- it's like a studio apartment, but without a kitchen" I walk over to the other side towards the running ramp.

"I guess you can say that" I jump over the glass railing onto the ramp and slide down right next to Adri.

"Smooth" Adri comments, making me laugh.

"That was fun" I get up and walk to another set of doors, "What's in here?"

"In there is the bathroom and my closet."

"May I?" Adri nods. I giggle and open the door. Right away I could see a double vanity sinks and cabinets lining the walls. Straight ahead there were glass doors, probably, where the shower, bath, and toilet were located.

"Your bathroom is bigger than mine!" I turn my head towards Adrien who was leaning against the door frame. He was smirking, probably from the amusement of my actions. I flash him a smile and turn to look around some more in the bathroom.

"Dude you can seriously have a party in your shower!" I yelled, looking at Adri's shower in shock. I just can't believe how big his room is- it's probably twice the size of mine at least!

"I rather not" I turn around to see Adri a couple of inches away from me. At this point, I just realized how tall he is. I would say maybe half-a-foot taller than me since I have to look up quite a bit to look at him straight in his eyes.

"Your eyes are so pretty" I stated, standing on my tippy toes to see his eyes more, "they are better in person" His eyes widen in shock, making me giggle.

"S-So what are you planning on doing?" Adri asks nervously. I smile once more before I place my feet fully on the ground.

"I'm going to take a shower" I replied as I started pushing him backward with two hands, "so you go out"

"You're kicking me out of my own bathroom?" He wraps his hands around my wrists. I felt the tingling sensations again, making me look up at his face. His eyes were looking at my hands in confusion, maybe he feels the same thing?

"Yes, I am. I feel gross after the plane trip and being in class." Adri wiggles his eyebrows and smirks just a bit. I giggle and roll my eyes.

"Jeez who knew that you were perverted"  I push him a little bit before closing the door.

*~*Time Skip POV: Third Person*~*

Ring... Ring

The ring echoes throughout the room, filling it up with its annoying tune. The source of this horrid sound comes from, no other, your phone. As your phone rings in your hand, you start to finally wake up.

The room was dark with only the moon shining through the big glass windows. It's been 4 hours since the last time you were awake. After your shower, you changed into one of your night clothes and waited for the blonde. However, not to your knowledge, as soon as you took your shower, the blonde transformed into Chat Noir and left to go deal with Mr. Damocles.

Ring...

You finally opened your (e/c) eyes, grumbling under your breath. Wishing for the person who woke you up, to just shut up. Your (e/c) eyes travel towards the sound, the phone that was in your left hand. Remembering why you hand your phone on you- you were going to call the blonde, but you ended up passing out.

Ring... Ring-

"Hello?" You tiredly asked as you wiped an arm across your (e/c) eyes trying to block out the light.

"This (Y/N) Taylor?" A masculine voice asks, making you sit up on the bed making the silk straps of the (f/c) nightgown to slide down your arms.

"That's me..." You grab one of the straps with your free hand and pulled it up, "who is this?"

"Chat Noir- Anyways I need your help." Your (e/c) eyes widen in shock, "I will need you to go to Dark Owl's base."

At this time, Chat Noir and Ladybug were trying to find the akumized Mr. Damocles. As they were jumping from roof to roof, the blonde remembered something. You mentioned the weird commotion behind Mr. Damocles's door. Maybe that's was where he was? He took out his baton and typed in your number out of memory.

"Dark Owl?" You quickly get up off Adri's bed towards the windows. You don't remember being on his bed when you passed out, but at the moment, there was something else on your mind.

"Mr. Damocles was akumized, I need you, little Angel, to go to his office." You open the window and climb up. The wind blows through your (f/c) nightgown, waking you up just a bit.

"I'm surprised that this is can hold my weight," you say out loud in English while looking for something that you can land on.

"What?" Chat Noir stopped jumping, his heart pounding in his chest.

"What is she doing?" He whispered to himself. He looked around his surroundings and noticed that he was by his house. Chat also noticed something else, you standing on one of his windows.

"Hold on I'm jumping out of the window." Your (e/c) eyes land soon a big pile of cut grass clippings below you, "That would have to do" Not noticing Chat's presence, that was only a couple houses away.

"Wait!" He yells, his heart drops and his green eyes widen in fright. From where you were jumping, you were bound to break something. Nonetheless, you jump off, landing in the pile of grass cuttings.

"I'm fine- on my way to the school" You hung up the phone and started your journey towards the school.

Chat just stood there on the roof watching you, with shock and relief. If anyone was close to him now, they could probably hear his heart beating out of his chest.

"I really wish that I wore something more appropriate" you mumbled under my breath as the wind started to pick up a little bit more. After some time, you finally got to the front doors of the College. Pushing the door open as you let yourself into the creepy school. It wasn't as dark due to the moon shining down on the courtyard, but it was creepy nonetheless. You slowly make my way towards the steps towards Mr. Damocles's room.

"Hello?" Your voice and footsteps echo throughout the hallway, "I swear if this is a late Halloween scare- I'm going to kill somebody" A cold breeze brushes up against your skin- creating goosebumps along your arms. It wasn't too long until you noticed the blue light coming from the bottom of the door. Someone or something was definitely there behind that door.

As you were walking around the school, the two superheroes finally found Dark Owl. However, things didn't go as plan when they ended up trapped in a storage container. That is starting to fill up with Whipped Cream.

"It looks like- it tastes like whipped cream" Ladybug side glances at Chat Noir, giving him an annoyed look.

"Chat, right now it isn't the time. We have to get out of here." 

"Well, what are you going to do with that fountain pen?"

Ladybug looked around until she noticed the camera right above the tv screen. She took the pen apart and squirted the ink onto the camera. Now that he couldn't see them, at least he wouldn't be able to see them detransform if needed. Cause they only had a couple more minutes, and they didn't have the luxury of time.

"Do you really think that can make a difference if I can't see you Ladybug- There's nowhere to escape. If you don't give me your miraculous now, I'll simply take them after the whipped cream buries you."

The thought of death was very apparent to these two superheroes. I mean it's not every day that you hear people getting drowned in whipped cream.

"Crap, what are we going to do?" Ladybug mumbles to herself, "Think, Marinette, Think"

The heroine puts her fingers up towards her temples, hoping that it would spark something. Surprisingly nothing came to mind, as the feeling of whipped cream kept rising. Time was running out.

"Don't worry my lady, your not the only one who has a lucky charm."

Ladybug turns her attention towards the Chat as she raises her eyebrow in curiosity. He was leaning on the metal wall, his arms across his chest. A flirtatious smirk appears on the cat boy's face as he thought of his lucky charm.

"Owl's Whipped Cream: Deactivated"

You breathed heavily as you fell limp against the wire bindings. It was difficult trying to get towards the computer. The self-defense mechanism activated as soon as you entered of course. But at least when you finally got to the computer, you could manually turn off the system.

The wire bindings wrapped more around your body, making it almost impossible to move. Not like you really mind it though, your body was exhausted due to the amount of cardio. The once clean (f/c) nightgown was now ripped and soaked with sweat.

"Well, Well, Well," a sinister voice called out, "What do we have here?" Your (e/c) eyes stayed glued to the floor, seeing the shadow coming room the window- it was Mr. Damocles. As soon as you deactivated the system he came to his office. Sadly enough, you were still here, bound against the wall with wires.

"Now how did you get in here?"

"I walked through the door like a normal person"

"Now, Now, Little Angel. We wouldn't want to ruin that pretty little face of yours, would we?"

Dark Owl dropped down from his window and made his way towards you. The symbol of a moth appeared onto Dark Owl's eyes, making him stop in his tracks for a couple seconds. However, that didn't last long as he finally grabbed your chin. He forcefully pushes your head upwards to be able to see your expression. Your (e/c) eyes shot up towards the eyes of the villain, sending deathly glares towards his way.

"Now let's get to business- how did you deactivate my system?"

You stayed quiet as your (e/c) eyes kept glaring at him. Hopefully, doing this would take some time for the heroes to be able to save you.

"Let me say it again," his grip on your chin tightened as well as the wire bindings, "How did you deactivate my system?"

"HEY!" Your (e/c) eyes drift over towards figure on the window, "keep your feathery hands off of her"

When the duo finally escaped from the storage container, they made their way over towards the college. The plan was that Chat was going to distract Dark Owl while Ladybug snuck around to be able to destroy the object. However, things change as soon as the feline entered the room. Chat was beyond pissed seeing you in the state you were in.

But before much could happen a yo-yo sped through and hit the computer. The bindings across your body fell loose and collapsed to the ground. It wasn't long until you too collapsed due to exhaustion. Chat ran over to your side with a worried expression across his face. Your (e/c) eyes opened up just a little bit longer before sleep pulled you in.

~*~ Time Skip ~*~

Your (e/c) eyes opened slowly, however, everything seemed a little hazy from sleep. The sun was raising by the time you woke up making the room fill up with warm yellow rays. Every single muscle in your body seemed to be sore, but nonetheless you sat up. You rubbed your tired eyes trying to wake up a bit more. It wasn't until you heard movement that you took your hands off your eyes. Green eyes stared into your (e/c) eyes in a worried expression.

The room stayed silent as you guys stared at each other. Your eyes started to wander taking in the sight of the model boy. Tired was an understatement when you looked at him. His hair was a mess, hair sticking up here and there. His bangs were fanned out in front of his face, some strands covering the slight dark circles under his green eyes.

"Adri?" He quickly reached out towards you and pulled you into his bare chest. The tingling sensations started, making the two sigh in relief. It was like a calming effect, slowing the heartbeats of the models. They stayed holding each other like that for a while.

Time passed and now they are laying on Adri's bed. The sound of laughter filled the air as Adri explained on what happened the night before. You just laid on his side on your stomach while your head was on Adri's bare chest. Paying attention to the little details of the way on how he breathed, and the rhyme of his heartbeat .

"So you're telling me that when Ladybug yells her Lucky Charm, she gets whatever she needs to defeat an Akuma?" Adrien nods his head as he was in deep thought.

"Well, what about Chat Noir? I bet he has cool powers too!" You sit up and turn your body more towards Adrien, "I bet that without his help, Ladybug would have a difficult time."

"I wouldn't doubt it either, (Y/N). Actually, their powers go very well with each other. Chat Noir's special power is destroying everything he touches with only one word."

"That is?"

"Cataclysm"

"I like the irony" Adri looked down to meet (Y/N)'s (e/c) eyes.

"Huh?"

"He is a cat-themed superhero," Adri couldn't help but smile at her comment, "But who knew by reading comic books could save your life one day."

"I'm just glad your safe and here with me right now" Adri's grip on you tightens while you snuggle closer towards him. "I am just afraid of what your parents are going to do."

(Y/N) shivers, thinking of many possible outcomes. She didn't want to be sent home- she just got here. Besides, the plan was to stay for 3 months before going home. A home where she felt trapped, and lonely.

"Me too..."
