It has a happy ending....right? {COMPLETED}

Chapter 8

"Adrien! You need to see this!" Luka burst into his apartment, holding his phone out to him. The phone played a loop of poor-quality footage, a video that looked like it came from a security camera.

"What is it?" Adrien asked, seeing Nino enter behind him. His heart dropped as he watched the video, it was security footage showing the street in front of a building, the time signature from just a few minutes ago. Marinette walked down the sidewalk alone when a van pulled in and took her with it.

"Do we know who that was?" He didn't question how they got the footage, he only cared about getting Marinette back.

"It was..." Luka paused looking back at Nino for confirmation to say his next words. "It was Shelly and Queen Cobra. You can see the green-blue colour of Cobra's suit and the shelter that was formed around the van," He explained.

"Let's go," He seethed, transforming quickly and running out onto his balcony, swinging from the edge of the railing to the city's view.

"Jesus, you didn't have to be so rough," Marinette whined as she watched the van door close, Chloe realizing her transformation and letting her go.

"Sorry, you said it had to be convincing," Chloe muttered a retort. The scene was realistic for Marinette, so it should convince Misterbug.

"Now we go back home and wait," She explained, sitting onto the bean bag that was placed in the empty space behind the driver and passenger seat.

As Misterbug approached the mansion from the woods surrounding it, he saw the van that displayed the matching license plate that was in the footage. "Are you in place?" He said into the earpiece.

"Yep," Fennick answered back, placing himself behind a wall of bushes that were behind the intimidating house.

"Yeah," Sting landed nimbly on the rooftop, destroying all the cameras that could have caught him before.

"Okay, I'll go in first and find Mari," He said in a hushed voice as he started to stand from his crouching position.

"Dude, have you ever seen a horror movie in your life? Going in alone is how you get killed by...." Fennick paused, thinking of an infamous horror movie villain. "Jason or something," He shrugged.

"Yes, but this is an action movie. James Bond doesn't get killed when he works alone,"

"James Bond movies are spy movies, with stealth and sneaking," Fennick explained.

"Can we please stop discussing movies and save Marinette?" Sting said, irritation in his voice.

"Right, hero mission," Fennick cleared his throat. As Misterbug got closer to the door, he quickly ducked behind a wide tree, seeing the door opening. He watched as Marinette, happily smiling, waved Shelly and Queen Cobra goodbye, both getting in the van that they had taken Marinette in. Marinette closed the door and Misterbug could only think to himself.

"How much were they paying her to act like she was completely okay? And why would they, did they know they would come?"

He couldn't dwell on his thoughts, he needed to quickly save Marinette then leave without being caught. He pushed the door open, seeing an entry walkway leading to a grand room that held a large sofa, an eighty-one-inch mounted T.V, and an array of stolen items that Misterbug couldn't name at the moment. He could collect the items after he got Marinette.

As he wandered the silent house, looking for any trace of Marinette, he didn't find Ladynoire anywhere either. He didn't see her leave with Shelly or Queen Cobra, so where could she be? As he reached the top of the long staircase to the third floor, he saw a pair of glass doors, sitting aside each other. Sat on the marble floor, surrounded by various types of plants, he saw Marinette, peacefully grooming a small shrub. As he opened the door quietly, cautious of any oncoming ambushes, he heard her humming as her body swayed back and forth.
