An explosion.
That's all they heard before everything went pitch black. It's was around noon but in Paris it felt like midnight. Only some lights were still on.
An akuma.
That's what Adrien thought before transforming in a dark alley. He tries calling Ladybug, but no response. He try looking around to spot the red hero but nothing. Then he try looking for the akuma still while trying to hide so it doesn't spot him and try to attack him without Ladybug.
He doesn't like to admit it, but Ladybug is the brain of the duo.
She reminds him a lot of his girlfriend Marinette.
Always know what to do.
After a while with nothing he hear a sound that seems like is name.
He turn around and has to look down at the road to see the sewer open and someone waving at him.
"Come on we don't have all the time in the world!" Said the female voice. Cat Noir look around him to see if it's a trap, but doesn't see anything wrong.
So he trust his guts and goes down from the rooftops into the sewers.
When down there he see someone looking like Rena Rouge but blue.
"Who are you?" He say taking a step away with his baton in his hand.
Something weird.
"I'm Rena Furtive, we'll basically I'm Rena Rouge except for the costume, Ladybug made me follow every steps of Shadowmoth for a couples of month..." she then look around before continuing, "Problem is, I can't join her no matter how many times I try... can you?"
Asking him.
"And why would I trust you? What tells me that you're not the akuma in this situation"
She looks around searching for an answer.
"Huuummm, if I told you I was also Scarabella... would you believe me?" Cat Noir looked her up and down.
"The secret..." "friend" Rena Furtive finished his sentence. She takes out her flute to try to call Ladybug again, but nothing happens.
"It's almost has if she took her earring off and that's what scares me. What if something happened to her..."
Cat Noir try to call her too leaving message in case she was just busy.
"What are we going to do if she doesn't come?" Rena Furtive look lost at Cat Noir.
"It's a little extreme, but do you know any of the other miraculous holder? I only know Carapace, Chloé and we'll... Ladybug" she asks him.
"No Ladybug never really wanted me to know who were the other holders... I only know Viperion, the first Multimouse and also Carapace and...." He doesn't finish his phrase but look at her. Rena Furtive turned her head around fast.
"You know Carapace and..." she look right in his eyes.
Taking back, she backs away, "How did you found out who I was."
"Hummm... I can't say it. It would compromise with my identity." He looks down rubbing the back of his neck.
"The only person who know who I was besides Ladybug is... Nino. Why-"
She doesn't finish her phrase because the ground began to shake. "We're in deep shit." Said Rena.
"Okay, listen. I'm gonna go take the miraculous who already have a holder. Not sure they can really help but it's better to be in a group in this situation."
"I'm coming with you!" Says Cat Noir taking a hold of Rena Furtive shoulders, "No you can't, she hide it's in her room, coming with me would reveal her identity" she shake his hands off.
"No can do, if I let you go and you got trap somewhere I would be left alone with no partner or miraculous... so I'm coming with you. If Ladybug didn't wanted that to happen she would not have gone MIA without telling you. She did it the time you were Scarabella, why not this time. I believe she trusted you with her miraculous. So let's go"
Without anything to say. They both run in the sewer Rena Furtive in front seeming like she know the road. Before they get to the exit she turns around, "I'm sorry but I have to ask you first who you really are. I know Ladybug didn't wanted me to know but I have to since you will knows hers. It a security procedure. You know who I am, therefore I should know who you are." He looks at her.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you-"
"try me" she says taking a step closer, only being a little shorter then him.
He takes a shuddering breath, "I'm Adrien" She look up and down with a weird expression showing on her face. "Damn. That's the revelation of the year" she turn around opening the sewer looking for anyone. "There's no one come on!" She whispered. They both get out and Cat Noir stop when he sees the bakery that he would recognize anywhere. "Ma-Mar-"
"There's no time to stutter, come on!" She push him toward before jumping on the balcony. Cat Noir follow without saying a word.
"Shit. What happened in here?" She says.
The room looked as if a tornado went through it. Rena does what she have to do and open the miraculous box right in front of Cat Noir. "We need to hide the box somewhere here, just in case."
"In case of what?!? What could possibly happen that make you so scared-"
"what if it's her who was akumatize..? She never goes away like that! Or leave her room like that. Yes she disorganized and messy but she always clean her room in the end. Or her mom would, but Marinette's too scared that her mom will put her nose in her things. Sooo, she clean up." She says turning to face Cat Noir pointing her finger at his chest while holding the miraculous.
"Marinette is strong." He responded.
"If that what you think it's not true, she always put a wall in front of everyone, even me." She sigh looking at the room and the kwami. "Let's go find Nino and Viperion first, then will try to search for the other"
"Viperion is Luka's and I'm pretty sure Ryuko is Kagami... it would make sense since she call the akuma her mom. Plus it's a Japanese name" Rena Furtive looks at him,
"Alright let's go Catdrien."
