A month and a few days finally passed since Katsu and his friends came to Paris. (I know, it seems like way more than that, but just imagine.)
We've been planning a way to capture Gabriel Agreste as Hawkmoth. But it's kind of hard when two of the heroes constantly glare at each other. 

"I'm just fucking saying! He's acting fucking stupid!" Ground Zero glared at Cat Noir.
"And I'm saying! He's thinking without a brain!"
"I'll fucking blow you up without a brain!" Ground Zero was about to attack, but I threw my yoyo up and let it fall on his head.
"Fuck!" He hissed while rubbing his head. I sighed and walked up to them. I put my hand in Ground Zero's hair to rub his head. 
"Guys...Please?"
"Sorry." Ground Zero muttered while looking down blushing slightly.
"Ladybug! C'mon!"
"Cat Noir. Please. We're trying to make a fault-proof plan to capture him."
"And I'm trying to think of one! But your little idiotic friend there is being annoying!"
"Cat Noir enough." I put my hand in a slice motion to make him cut it out. 
"I can't do this." Cat Noir sighed and walked to the other side.
"What crawled up his fucking ass?"
"Zero please. Don't fight with him. I'm gonna go talk with Eraser Head." 
I sighed and stretched my back. I walked up to my uncle.
"Uncle Shota..." I sighed and plopped down on the floor.
"What's up?"
"I can't do this. My best friend is fighting with one of your best students. Ugh! Boys!"
"Your best friend is fighting with your boyfriend." He said bluntly. I blushed.
"Uncle Shota!" I whined lightly.
"Anyways. Plan?"
"Right." We started discussing ideas and plans. By the evening we thought of the best plan.
"Alright! Go home!" We decided to tell the plan to everyone another day. I was laying on the rooftop staring at the blue sky. 
"What are you still doing here dumbass?"
"Huh? Ka-Ground Zero? What are you doing here?" I asked while sitting on my elbows.
"I was going to go, but I saw your dumbass here. Thought I might chill here." He shrugged. 
He sat down next to me.
"What's up?"
"I'm worried about everything." I shrugged. 
"Everything's going to be ok."
We both sat in comfortable silence.
"Do...you know who Cat Noir is?"
"Me? No. We're not allowed to know each other's identities. Why?"
"Nothing."
"What? Tell me."
"I...I don't trust him."
"Ok, that's understandable. You guys argue a lot anyways."
"No not like that. I used to be fine with him before. But now...he's acting weird."
"Weird how?"
"He doesn't like any of the ideas of defeating Hawkmoth. When we figured out Gabriel was Hawkmoth, he didn't like it. You both argued because of it. Don't you think something's up?"
"......" I went deep into thought. 
It is true. He seems weird and doesn't like anything we plan out. He hated the idea of us interrogating Gabriel again. Even the first time we did this. He was so relieved when we thought he wasn't Gabriel. Adrien is already messed up. And I know it isn't because of me. He probably figured out then. But then....how would he figure out? How would Gabriel know, we know? He wouldn't just tell Adrien. What if Cat Noir is related to them? Cousin? Felix is Adrien's cousin. And if Cat Noir was a cousin then Adrien would be hanging out with his cousin. Both of them do have blonde hair and green eyes. But Adrien is more professional and Cat Noir is silly and flirty.  
"Ladybug?"
"Huh? Oh...you're still here?"
"Yea. What were you thinking of?"
".....I gotta do something. Thanks, Zero!" I winked and swung away. 

I swung towards the Agreste mansion. I swung towards Adrien's window and knocked on it.
A few seconds later, Adrien opened it.
"Ladybug? What's wrong?" I hopped inside his room. Everything was a mess.
"Sorry...about the mess. I didn't know I was going to have guests." He rubbed his neck.
"It's alright. Sorry, I came without telling you."
"What's up?"
"As a hero! I need to make sure everyone is happy! And...I heard you were upset. So I was wondering if I could do anything for you?"
"I'm fine...just going through some stuff in school."
"Anything I could do? Girl problems? Studying?"
"I'm fine. How are you, Ladybug? No one ever asks the hero how they are." He smiled. I walked around his room, looking at his trophies and medals. He walked next to me.
"I'm doing good. We found a lead on Hawkmoth. Hopefully, we could end him soon and send him to prison."
"What if...Hawkmoth has a reason for being bad?"
"If he needed help with something he could've asked someone. He stole the miraculous. He hurts innocent people and destroys the city."
"Right..."
"Adrien?"
"Yea?"
"Do you have a cousin or someone close to you? With blonde messy hair? Green eyes? Flirty?"
"Uhh no. My only cousin is Felix. And he isn't flirty."
"Alright."
I was looking around when I saw something black move around. I made eye contact with that black thing. It was Plagg. Why would he show himself to me? He made motions to the bathroom.
"Ummm C-can I use your bathroom? Please?"
"Of course! Right there!" 
"Thank you!" I ran to the bathroom and a few seconds later Plagg shoed up.
"What are you doing? You can't show yourself to me? In your owner's house!" I whispered and yelled at him.
"You need to stop him! Cat Noir! He joined Hawkmoth! He's telling everything you guys plan to Hawkmoth! Adrien's Cat Noir!"
"Oh my god. It all makes sense now." I slapped my forehead.
"Ok. You still need to stay here. Try getting as much information and tell it to Tikki through your minds. Alright?"
"Yes." I left the bathroom and told Adrien bye and left through the window.
I couldn't believe it. Adrien's Cat Noir. Adrien's joined the bad guys. I thought he was good.
I landed at the hotel Uncle Shota was staying at and de-transformed on his balcony. I knocked on his glass door until he came and opened it.
"What's wrong, Marinette? Please don't tell me the boys are fighting again."
"Adrien's Cat Noir! He's with Hawkmoth!"
".....come in." He pulled me in and I told him everything.

"Wow...that's just...wow." 
"I know right. Why would he do this? I thought he loved being a hero." I had tears in my eyes. He was my best friend and partner. 
"Alright. So he might have caught on to us now. We're going to have to keep him away from our meetings. We're going to have to attack early now."
"Alright."
"Go. Get some rest. We'll talk later."
He hugged me and then let me leave.
I was walking outside when my eyes got clouded with tears. I couldn't even see anything.
So I called the one person who I needed.
"Hey Blue. What's up?"
"Kat sob Katsu?" I sobbed in between.
"Woah Woah! What's wrong? Where the fuck are you? I'm coming." I fell to my knees.
"I'm on my way! I have your location. Talk to me, Baby." I couldn't talk. I just sobbed into the phone.
"Hey hey. I'm here. I see you. I'm going to cut the call." I heard the beep and realized he cut the call. I dropped my phone on the floor and sobbed into my hands. I felt someone drop in front of me and felt two big warm arms wrap around me.
"Shh shh. I got you. I got you, Blue."
The whole situation just fell on me. Adrien, my ex-friend and ex-crush is Cat Noir, my partner. My best hero friend. I'm going to have to fight him. 
I felt like I couldn't breathe. Everything was hot and my clothes felt tight.
"Woah! Blue! Marinette! Breathe! Slowly! Listen to my voice! You're hyperventilating! Breathe for me!"
I couldn't speak or breathe. I couldn't hear him. 
"What's going on?" I heard another voice speak but it was muffled.
"Fuck! She's going to pass out!" I saw black dots cover up my vision and then all black.
