"Where are we going?" questioned Ayu in Arianne's head as they ran.

"If Evillustrator is actually Nathanael, then I know where he's headed" replied the girl. Nathanael had a crush on Marinette, so he would most probably go to her house.

And she was right.

When she arrived to her house, she saw Marinette looking at some drawings, with Evillustrator standing in front of her, but he soon left, quite happy, and Loup d'Argent got in through the window.

"Boys, am I right?" she questioned, leaning against the wall, and surprising Marinette, who wasn't expecting her there. The superhero hadn't said anything to Ladybug about visiting.

Did she know her real identity?!

"You've probably heard of me. I'm Loup d'Argent" she approached the girl with a smile, and Marinette knew that her identity was safe. 

"I-I know!" she replied. She needed to act like another citizen of Paris that admired her "You're always saving Paris! What are you doing here?"

"That boy who was just here...he's dangerous, you should be careful when you go out with him" she assumed that that was the reason why Evillustrator was there, and she did see that he handed her an invitation to go somewhere "I will tell Chat Noir and Tigre Blanco to follow you, to make sure that you don't get hurt" Marinette was impressed by Loup's thinking, it was a good idea.

"But what about Ladybug? Aren't you a group?" 

"We are, yeah, and I will look for her, but she needed some time on her own. That Chloe girl really annoyed her. Can't say that I blame her" Marinette smiled a bit upon hearing that she was  on her side "But, I need you to do me a favour" the designer frowned, not really knowing what she was gonna say, but nodded.

"Sure! What is it?"

"If you can take his pencil...that'd be great"

Of course. That was where the akuma was.

Nice thinking, Loup.

"Yeah, I can do that!" the wolf smiled.

"Great! See you later!" that being said, she went off the same way she came through, and proceeded to call her partners.

"Found what you were looking for?" asked Tigre Blanco, staring at the screen in his boomerang, that showed Loup d'Argent's face.

"I did" replied the girl with a nod "Is Chat Noir there?"

"I'm here, m'lady" replied the kitty, appearing behind Tigre Blanco.

"Great, I have a mission for you two"

"For both of us?" questioned Chat Noir upon hearing that "You mean...I'm gonna have to be with him?" he gestured towards Tigre Blanco, making both, him and Loup, roll their eyes.

"Yes, kitty" replied the girl tiredly "Get used to it" Chat Noir was becoming a tad annoying with his dislike for Tigre Blanco, and she was getting tired of it "There's a girl I need you to protect" she sent them a picture of Marinette, and both heroes recognized her "Her name's Marinette. Evillustrator is in love with her, and I assume that he won't hurt her, but I need you to follow them and take him out. I'll go soon enough too, I just need to find Ladybug. Are you up for that?"

"Oh, please" said Chat Noir with confidence "It'll be easy"

"You can count on us" added Tigre Blanco, making her smile.

"Great. Au revoir " then, she ended the call.

"Looks like you're stuck with me" Tigre Blanco spoke up, looking at Chat Noir.

"Oh, joy" replied Chat Noir sarcastically, making Tigre Blanco sigh. He really needed to fix things with him, he didn't want him to hate him for the rest of his life.

He would probably do it after the whole thing with Evillustrator was over.

"I thought I was gonna have to save you from that girl's claws" said Chat Noir, jumping down from the roof and into Marinette's door, where she was standing. Sabrina had just left, and Chat Noir and Tigre Blanco had watched the whole thing "Get it? Claws?" Tigre Blanco rolled his eyes.

"Seriously?" he questioned, staring at Chat Noir. That was a terrible pun.

"What? It was a good one!" argued Chat "You couldn't come up with one"

"If you say so..." replied Tigre Blanco, uninterested, before looking back at Marinette "You probably heard of him" he pointed out to Chat Noir "But I didn't introduce myself. I'm Tigre Blanco"

"Yeah, I know!" she replied with a smile "You kinda save the day all the time and stuff...I'm Marinette!" she said quickly, waving at them "Loup d'Argent sent you, right?"

"Yeah" replied Tigre Blanco "That birthday boy whom you're going out with is bad news"

"But don't worry, you'll be safe with me" added Chat Noir, completely ignoring that Tigre Blanco was there, and he was starting to get annoyed.

"I'm here, too. Just thought you might want to know" he said, giving Chat Noir an annoyed glance "We'll protect you" he added this while looking at Marinette.

"That puts my mind at ease" replied the girl, putting her hands behind her back "Loup d'Argent also told me that I needed to take his drawing pen"

"That could be where the akuma is" Tigre Blanco replied "Makes sense"

"You do that, I'll take care of the rest" replied Chat Noir, annoying the tiger for the second time.

"I'm not even gonna try" he said in defeat, before looking at Marinette "Have fun tonight!" then, both heroes went off.

After an unsuccessful attempt to defeat Evillustrator, which was reported to Loup by Tigre Blanco, the girl was on the roof in Chloe's mansion, waiting for Evillustrator to show up. When he finally did, she jumped down and landed on the balcony.

"I'm sorry, Nathanael" she apologized quietly to the boy, before starting to play the characteristic shrill melody that distracted the boy so he couldn't draw anymore. A giant heel was following Chloe, but Ladybug showed up in time and wrapped the yoyo around the shoe's heel, breaking it in half and, therefore, ruining the drawing.

"Oops, broke your heel" bragged Ladybug, doing circles with her yoyo.

"Better watch your ankle!" added Loup getting into the room.

"Well, well, look what the cat dragged in" said Tigre Blanco, making the wolf girl cringe upon hearing the pun "I can't believe I just said that"

"Me neither" she agreed "That was so awful"

"In the comics, this is what's known as the final showdown" Evillustrator spoke up "The thing is, if you knew her, you wouldn't be breaking a sweat to save her skin" he was talking about Chloe.

"I'm not happy about it, to be honest" said Loup in a low voice, so only Tigre Blanco could hear her.

"It's not true!" cried Chloe from the floor "Everybody adores me!"

"In what universe?" questioned the girl, making Tigre chuckle a bit. Evillustrator drew some giant boxing gloves and threw them towards the quartet, but they managed to dodge all three of them. Then, he drew a giant saw towards Chloe, but Chat Noir broke it with his staff. He divided it and threw the parts against Evillustrator, and one of those parts hit a lamp, forcing the villain to change places.

"He can't draw in the dark!" realized Loup "Chat Noir, the switch!" he could destroy it with his cataclysm.

Unfortunately, Evillustrator erased the switch before Chat could get to it, and then drew a ball and a chain, to chain him up.

"Sadly, those who get in my way, get erased" the floor started to disappear. Chat Noir, since he was chained, was holding onto a piece of it for support, so he wouldn't fall down, and the other three were cornered in one small part, since the rest of the floor around had disappeared as well.

Tigre Blanco saw that Chat Noir was in distress and that one of his pads had disappeared, so he threw his boomerang towards the chain, in hopes of breaking it, but it didn't work. They had to do something, or Chat Noir would transform back right in front of them.

Then, an idea came to him.

"Which bird has the strongest beak?" he questioned out loud, though he was talking to Jazmin in his head. Ladybug looked at him confused, but Loup knew what he was thinking.

"There are many" replied Jazmin "But the most well-known would be the eagle, the hawk and, in some scale, the macaw"

"Great" he said with a smirk "Espíritu animal!"

That being said, Tigre Blanco was replaced by a blue macaw, much to Ladybug's astonishment.

"Did he just turn into a bird?" she questioned, staring at Tigre Blanco flying towards Chat Noir.

"He did" nodded Loup d'Argent with a smile "That's his power. He can turn into any animal he wants"

"What the..." started Chat Noir when he saw the blue bird. Then, Tigre Blanco, as the blue bird, broke the cuff holding his leg, and dragged him towards the floor underneath, before turning back into Tigre Blanco "You just saved me" he said, surprised, to which the other boy nodded.

"I did, and I need to talk to you" he walked away from the giant hole in the ceiling, towards the living room, and Chat Noir followed him frowning.

"But...what about Ladybug and Loup?" he questioned. They couldn't just leave them alone to face the Evillustrator.

"They can handle it" he replied, and Chat Noir had to admit that he was right.

Tigre Blanco wanted to fix things with Chat Noir as soon as possible, and he wouldn't have time to do it after the fight was done, because he'd have to leave soon before transforming back "I know you are in love with Loup d'Argent" he said, straight to the point, and Chat Noir went red.

"What? No, I'm not! What makes you think that?" he asked nervously, causing Tigre Blanco to give him an 'are-you-kidding-me?' look through his masked blue eyes.

"Amigo, it's written all over your face" replied Tigre Blanco, his Spanish accent showing "And you should know that I'm not planning on dating her or anything" 

"Really?" asked Chat Noir, surprised to hear that. Tigre nodded "So you are not in love with her?"

"No" replied the tiger, shaking his head "I mean, I know I always act like it, but that's not what's going on. We are just childhood friends" silence filled the air as both heroes were immersed in their own thoughts "But, if you want to start a relationship with her...it will be hard"

"What do you mean?" questioned Chat, folding his arms.

"She's in love with someone else" he replied, making him look at him with his eyebrows arched.

"Who?"

"I can't tell you" replied the boy, shaking his head "She would kill me if I did, I'm the only person that knows. You have to take it slowly" he paused "But" Chat Noir looked at him curiously upon hearing that "If you want to take the first step...tomorrow's Valentine's Day. You should write her something"

"Yeah, I think I'll do that" replied Chat Noir with a smile "Thanks for the idea"

"No problem" replied Tigre Blanco, winking at him in a friendly manner, just as one of the paws in his arm band disappeared "Now, I gotta run, but I'll see you tomorrow, probably" 

"Definitely" nodded Chat Noir "And hey" he called once more, making Tigre Blanco look at him curiously "I'm sorry for the way I've been acting lately" he stuck his hand out "Truce?"

"Truce" replied Tigre Blanco, shaking his hand with a smile, before disappearing through the window.
