15. Of Felons & Masked Quartets

"I don't know who you are, but you are an offence to justice" said Rogercop, aiming at Tigre Blanco "You are gonna pay for this" the newcomer smirked.

"Tigre Blanco, a tu servicio" he said, bowing "You can add aggression to the charges" that being said, he went off, with Rogercop following behind.

"Is that...your friend from Barcelona?" questioned Ladybug, staring at Tigre Blanco dodging Rogercop's attacks.

"That's him" nodded Loup, smiling a mixture of pride and happiness "I can't believe he's here"

"What's he doing here?" questioned Chat Noir, who had just appeared, with disdain.

"Don't know" replied Loup d'Argent, shaking her head "But he will definitely be helpful"

"We are okay on our own" said Chat Noir, jealous, and causing the wolf girl to roll her eyes. She had already told him that he was irreplaceable, what else did he want to hear?

"Hey, listen!" they heard Tigre Blanco speaking to Rogercop "I don't know who you are, but I know you are a good person! Don't let the evil person who gave you these powers make an evil man out of you!"

"Justice must prevail in the streets of Paris" was Rogercop's reply, as he shot at Tigre Blanco, but Ladybug was quick to attack, though she didn't succeed, because she was thrown back into the school "The mayor must pay for getting rid of his best police officer" that being said, he was about to get into his car, but Chloe came out of the school building, because she wanted Rogercop to help her find her bracelet.

"Mr. Rogercop! I got a serious problem!" she announced, walking towards him "Worse than a bad hair day!"

"Oh my god, seriously?!" questioned Loup d'Argent annoyed.

"Come with me, and we'll talk about it" was Rogercop's reply as he got into the car, and so did the blonde.

"Chloe, no!" yelled Chat Noir, and followed after them, before jumping on the car's roof.

"What is that cat doing?!" asked the wolf girl once more, and Tigre Blanco noticed how moody she was.

"You had a bad day" he concluded, as Rogercop's car became a flying car, with Chat Noir still on top "But we gotta stop whoever that is"

"You're right, you're right" agreed his friend "Then you can tell me what you are doing here. But for now, we need a way to catch up to that flying car" she frowned "I never thought I said that" Tigre Blanco chuckled.

"I know the feeling" he replied, before taking out a climbing rope from his pockets, and grabbing her hand "Hold on tight!" the girl did as told, and Tigre Blanco threw the rope towards the car, and it hooked on it. Soon, both friends had reached the flying car, and Ladybug did some minutes later "We haven't officially met" spoke up Tigre Blanco to Ladybug and Chat Noir casually "I'm Tigre Blanco"

"We know" muttered Chat Noir in between teeth, confusing the other boy a bit, but he didn't say anything.

"Loup told us about you, and we saw you on the news" added Ladybug with a smile "I'm Ladybug, and this is Chat Noir"

"Nice to meet you both" he replied "You'll be seeing me around a lot" his friend smiled upon hearing that he was probably staying, but they could talk about it later.

The car then began spinning, and the quartet was holding onto it for dear life, trying not to fall. They didn't, but Rogercop did a manoeuvre, that sent Chat Noir flying off, and Ladybug caught him with her yoyo just in time.

"This guy's really persistent!" complained Tigre Blanco.

"Tell me about it!" agreed the wolf girl, just as Rogercop got out of the car and stood in front of them, still in the air.

"Did I ever thank you for the lift?" questioned Chat Noir with a smirk, before beginning to attack Rogercop with his staff.

Soon, they were all attacking him, in their own ways.

Ladybug was wrapping her yoyo around him, trying to make him fall; Chat Noir was hitting him with his staff, Tigre Blanco kept throwing his boomerang, and everytime it came back, it hit Rogercop, and Loup d'Argent was playing the shrill melody to weaken him. How she was able to do that while standing on a flying car and not getting hit by anything, no one knew.

Then, Rogercop jumped on one side of the car, and the quartet was forced to run as the car spun, so they wouldn't fall.

"Where did you get those shoes?" questioned Chat Noir, looking at Loup "I could use a pair!"

"I'll send you the brand!" she replied. The fourth or fifth time that they went past Rogercop, he hit all four of them with his arms, but only Ladybug and Tigre Blanco fell. Ladybug grabbed Tigre Blanco from the hand and threw her yoyo so Chat Noir could catch it, but he missed. Both their friends fell down to the floor.

"What have you done?!" questioned Chat Noir, looking at Rogercop, who was grabbing him from the collar.

"Wanna hear a song?!" questioned the girl, and when Rogercop turned to look at her, she started playing the shrill melody once more. This weakened his grip on Chat Noir, who was able to free himself, and destroy one of the lights of the car. Both heroes jumped off the car and, instead of hitting the floor, Ladybug and Tigre Blanco caught them with their respective strings.

"You owe me one" said Tigre Blanco, looking at Loup as she stood up straight.

"I'll add it to the pile" replied the girl, shaking the dirt off her clothes.

"There's no point in running after him anyway" said Ladybug, as they watched Rogercop with his flying car "He's way out of our reach now"

"He's looking for the mayor, isn't he?" questioned Tigre Blanco, looking at the other three.

"Then he'll be heading straight for the city hall" replied Ladybug with a smirk, and Chat Noir looked at her with his arms folded and a smile.

"Do I sense a plan?"

"Paris has a new superpower" the mayor was on the screen, talking to the police forces outside the city hall. The quartet was watching him, too, since they were there "His name is Rogercop. I hereby relinquish all authority to Rogercop. All citizens are ordered to answer to him" Rogercop pushed the mayor's chair to the side, and now he was talking on the screen.

"Ladybug, Chat Noir, Loup d'Argent and Tigre Blanco are now outlaws. They must be hunted down and taken into custody immediately" ordered Rogercop. The police officers surrounded the quartet, who were forming a circle back-to-back. Ladybug wrapped her yoyo around something on the roof and went off, with Chat Noir behind, and Tigre Blanco and Loup did the same with Tigre's rope.

Later that night, the four of them were hiding behind a roof.

"My first day in the city, and I'm already a fugitive. Lovely" said Tigre Blanco sarcastically, looking at his partners.

"We're basically the nation's most wanted felons" added Chat Noir.

"And we haven't done anything" said Ladybug.

"I agree with you there" replied Loup "You can't accuse someone without proof" she couldn't help thinking about the events earlier that day, when Marinette had accused her of stealing Chloe's bracelet.

"We should go and defend ourselves!" said Chat Noir, standing up.

"With Rogercop, the chief of justice there?" questioned Tigre Blanco, standing up, too "Not a good idea" Chat groaned tiredly.

"How many times have we saved Paris?" he questioned.

"If I told you all the times I had to save Barcelona, you wouldn't believe me" said Tigre Blanco.

"He's right" replied the girl. Thiago had been saving Barcelona for three years "But we're still saving Paris, and I bet a certain bug has a plan as to what to do this time" she added, looking at Ladybug, who was smirking.

Loup was right, she did have a plan.


As Chat Noir and Tigre Blanco distracted the police force outside, Ladybug and Loup d'Argent snuck into the town hall, but Chloe gave their positions away.

"Ladybug and Loup d'Argent, insight for justice still prevails" said Rogercop, and blasted at them, but the girl used her bow as a shield, while Ladybug used her lucky charm, which turn out to be an oven mitt.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" she questioned, looking at it confused.

"A cake?" suggested her partner, as Rogercop blasted at her once more, but her shield received it "Try to figure out what to do with that, I'll cover you!" Ladybug went to hide behind a desk, while Loup went around the room, with Rogercop blasting at her over and over. He didn't seem to realize that it was not gonna work, her shield was very strong.

Then, Chat Noir and Tigre Blanco, once the police force was defeated, got into the city hall. Rogercop ordered Chloe and the mayor to catch them, but Chat Noir and Ladybug grabbed them, left them on the hallway, and closed the door behind them. Rogercop shot at them once more, but the quartet hid behind a wooden table.

"The akuma must be in his whistle" said Ladybug, and then looked at her partners "We gotta get to it"

"How?" questioned Chat Noir, taking a quick look at the office, but immediately hid when Rogercop shot once more "Whenever you're ready, m'lady" Ladybug looked around, and saw the things she needed to defeat Rogercop.

"Okay, I've got an idea" she announced "But I still need something like...a ring" Rogercop punched through the wood, forcing the quartet to changed hiding spots.

"Where can you find a ring in here?" questioned Loup. She hadn't seen anything like that anywhere.

Chat Noir narrowed his eyes, and threw Chloe's bracelet he had taken off from Plagg far away, to make it seem as if it was 'casually' there.

"Over there" he gestured towards it.

"That's Chloe's bracelet!" breathed out Ladybug, and the other girl was confused as to why she hadn't seen it before "Exactly what I need" Ladybug grabbed it with her yoyo, before looking back at Chat Noir "Fend out Rogercop as long as you can"

"Whenever you're ready" replied Chat Noir, and used his Cataclysm to destroy part of the floor where Rogercop was standing, and it trapped him in a crack. Ladybug used the mitts to cover Rogercop's hands, to prevent him for shooting, and for her to be able to destroy the akuma. This returned everything to normal.

"So you'll stick around?" asked Ladybug, looking at Tigre Blanco.

"Oh, definitely" replied Thiago with a nod "Paris is very nice, and I've been thinking about moving here for quite a while" he said this giving Loup a quick glance, who was surprised that he had never told her that.

"Okay, then!" said Ladybug with a smile, Tigre Blanco seemed nice "We'll see you later"

"See ya, guys" said Thiago.

"Au revoir!" replied the girl, and both friends went off into the night.

Chat Noir groaned, sort of angrily, upon seeing the two of them interact.

"Oh, is the witty kitty jealous?" teased Ladybug, and Chat Noir blushed a bit, making his partner chuckle.



"Hey, I think Chat Noir was jealous today" said Thiago that night at Arianne's house, while taking an apple from the basket on the counter. The girl shot him a confused glance.

"Of what? Of us?" she asked, taking a bottle of water from the fridge, and Thiago nodded "No way" she added, before taking a sip from the bottle "There's no way he could be jealous" why would he be jealous? "I mean, he flirts with me and everything, but in a playful manner. He's not actually serious"

"I'm not very sure about that" replied Thiago, furrowing his eyebrows. Based on what little he had seen today, he could notice that Chat Noir was actually flirting with her, he wasn't just messing around.

"Are you suggesting that Chat Noir has a crush on me?" questioned Arianne, and her tone showed that she wasn't convinced about it.

"Maybe" replied Thiago, and he did sound like he considered that a possibility. She gave him a 'seriously?' look.

"Even if that were true, which it isn't" she made sure to point that out "Nothing can ever happen between us"

"Because of Adrien, right?" guessed her friend, and he was right.

"I can't get him out of my head" replied the girl with a sigh, and sat down in the couch "No matter how much I try" Thiago gave his friend a sympathetic glance and sat beside her.

"Pain demands to be felt" replied Thiago, and Arianne looked at him amused.

"Did you just quote John Green to me?" she had read The Fault in Our Stars because Thiago recommended it to her, and she had cried her eyes out.

"It holds some truth" replied her friend, and the girl had to agree with that.

"I guess" she rested her head on his shoulder, and Thiago didn't mind. They felt comfortable like that, they considered each other family "Why is love so complicated?"

"I wouldn't know how to answer to that, honestly" replied her friend, and silence reigned in the room for some minutes, both friends immersed in their own thoughts. Finally, Thiago spoke up once more "Wanna watch something?" that could help Aria to forget about Adrien, even if it was just for a couple of minutes.

"Sure" replied the girl, sitting straight again. Thiago turned the TV on, and there was news repot playing.

"We got another addition to Paris' favourite trio!" said the reporter, and a picture of Tigre Blanco was shown in the screen. Thiago looked at Arianne surprised, who smiled at him and turned the volume up "It's none other than Tigre Blanco, Barcelona's masked hero! He was spotted earlier today by the city hall. Remember, folks, that this happened only a couple of days after Loup d'Argent's visit to Barcelona, so what exactly is the relationship that these two heroes have? And is this the beginning of a masked quartet?"

"Masked quartet?" questioned Thiago "Is that the best they can come up with?" Arianne smiled at her best friend.

"Welcome to Paris!"
