Chapter 6 Criminal or Hero?

          Adrien sees Chloe shortly after the break-up with Alya. He hands her a note but says "Chat Noir says to give this to you,"   He runs off after this.

         Chloe reads the note that says the following:

      Chloe and Sarah, Chat Noir is in love with the criminal Red Bad Bug.  He believes she did not kill anyone and intends to prove it.  He also refuses to believe she is an arsonist or a kidnapper.

      "Wow, Chloe this rather exciting,"  Sarah remarks.

        "Let us just keep this in between us though,"  Chloe says. She thinks I do not trust Rena Rogue.

         "Sure, sounds fine to me," Sarah agrees.

     "Pollen, buzz on!"  Chloe says. She transforms.

        Queen Bee decides it is time to search for Nadja again.  Sarah sees her and transforms when she calls out,  "Zebbee, stripes up!"

         Kid Zebra finds Queen Bee, and says,  "Ok, I am ready to help you now."

        Adrien Agreste transforms too, and now Chat Noir goes to visit the criminal in the hospital. He arrives at her room and enters through the window.

     "How evil bug how are you?"  Chat Noir asks.

      Red Bug looks up, smiles when she sees Chat Noir. She is glad that he is alive.

        "Chat Noir, I am glad to see you!"  She says, winks at him, and blushes.

        "I am glad to see you too," Chat Noir says.  He leans and kisses her.

         As red bad bug kisses him back, she thinks does he love me?   She breaks the kiss, thinks he is not a bad kisser for a hero and continues to blush.

      "Sorry, I just wanted to make sure you are okay," Chat Noir says and steps back a bit.

      "Chat, I will not tell anyone if you do not.  Why are you not out there looking for her, the criminal who tried to kill you, but wounded me instead?"   Red Bug asks.

     "Fine, I will look for her, just do not go anywhere, cute bug," Chat Noir says, he winks at her and leaves.

     After Chat Noir left, Red Bug detransforms and sighs when she recalls the nickname he gave her.   She thinks, what does this mean?  She knows now she loves Adrien and Chat Noir.

     Marinette hears someone knock on the door, so she transforms back in a hurry.       The doctor enters the room, checks her blood pressure, heart rate, etc.    He makes a note on his notepad.  

  "You are free to go now, just do not kill anyone," The doctor says.   He leaves the room.

     Red Bug smiles and jumps out the window to her hospital room. She sees Chat Noir and chases after him.  She sees him stop at the railroad tracks along with Queen Bee and Kid Zebra. Her jaw drops when she sees the reporter, Nadja tied to the railroad tracks with a strong cord.

   Queen Bee unties her with help from Red Bug. "Thanks, Red,"  Queen Bee says.

 Nadja is grateful for both their help and shakes hands with them. 

    "Thanks, so much, Red Bug!"  Nadja says.

     "You are welcome, now take good care of yourself, Madame," Red Bug says and swings away.  She returns three stolen goods to their owners.   She sees Nino and Alya talk and can tell Nino likes Alya.

    "Here, give her these," Red Bug says as she hands him some flowers she bought from a nearby flower stand. Then, swings away.

   Nino is surprised but hands Alya the flowers.

 "Thanks, Nino the flowers are lovely,"  Alya says. She kisses his cheek and laughs when he blushes.

   "Alya what was that for?"  Nino asks.

  "Well, you are kinda cute,"  Alya remarks.

       Red Bug arrives at her home, detransforms, and sighs.  Marinette thinks, I am criminal but today I did not act like one.

   

 Meanwhile,  Chat Noir and Kid Zebra stay behind and fight the kidnapper.  The two work hard to stop her from attacking anyone else.  

  Back to Marinette who contemplates her day.

 She pulls out her journal and writes the following:

 Dear Journal,

   Am I going soft?  Today, I returned a few items that I took in the past.

    I helped Nino with Alya despite her betrayal in the past, so what is happening to me?

  When has Chat Noir been so cute?  I am in love with Adrien, but now the kitty is part of my love life as well.

    What should I do?  Queen Bee, Kid Zebra, and Chat Noir treated me like part of their team when I helped them rescue Nadja today.

  Queen Bee and Nadja thanked me for my assistance today, and Chat Noir winked at me. 

Should I give up my life of crime and be a hero? 

  -Marinette Dupain-Cheng


Marinette sighs unsure what to do next.  

 "Marinette I am glad you recovered well.  You did great helping the other heroes, too."  Tikki says.

     "Did you like Chat Noir's  kiss?"  Tikki teases her.

    "I am sure I have no idea what you are talking about Tikki," Marinette says.     


  The heroes, all detransform after they turn the criminal who kidnapped, Nadja into the police station.

   "Let me go, I have done nothing wrong,"  Stormy Weather protest everything.

       Adrien sighs now that he is back home, and thinks, great now Iove Marinette and Red Bad Bug.

   "Do not worry, I will say a word about your kissing the bad bug if you give me cheese,"  Plagg says.

  "Seriously, Plagg?"  Adrien says as he hands him the Camembert cheese.

    Plagg eats his cheese.   Adrien decides to go speak to Marinette, while Plagg hides inside his jacket pocket.                                                  

     Marinette hears someone knock at her door a few minutes later, and opens it.  Tikki is hidden inside her purse.

    "A-Adrien, what are you doing h-here?"  Marinette mutters. She can not believe he is here.

   "Hi, Marinette!  I want you to know that I never cared about Alya."  Adrien begins.

    "She blackmailed me and said if I did not date her, she would spread a nasty rumor about you," Adrien explains.

     "I wish now I had never agreed to date her because I do not love her.  I love you!" Adrien confesses.

    "Wait, you what?  A-Adrien, I-I..."  Marinette says and faints.

   "Marinette, speak to me, say something, so I know you are okay.  Marinette, I do love you!" Adrien says.

   "A-Adrien, I need some time to think about all this," Marinette says when she stands up. She runs out the door. 

    Adrien hides, transforms and chases after her.   Chat Noir calls out,  "Marinette, wait!" as he catches up to her.

"Chat Noir what is is it?"  Marinette asks.

   Chat Noir, leans in, closes his eyes, and kisses Marinette.   Marinette kisses him back and thinks, why do I enjoy this so much?

    "Marinette, I..." Chat says.

     "Chat Noir, I love you too!" Marinette confesses. She thinks I wish I could tell him I am Red Bug.
