“My Mum wants me home soon.” I said getting up and walking towards the chair on the other side of the room. “How long do you have?” Jirou asked. “Just enough time to get home.” I lied.
It was all a lie, I wasn’t really going home. Jirou nodded and hugged me bye and I ran out of the room and down the hallway. I passed some 1A members who from the look on their faces, were surprised I could run. I sprinted into a bathroom and stood with my back against the door so no one could come in. I had made sure that before I’d entered, no one from my class saw me, couldn’t have people getting even a little bit suspicious.
I texted Max back and within a few minutes, a portal of red and black pixels appeared in front of me and Max poked his head through, waving his hand, he ushered me to follow him, this had been the routine since I started at U.A and had needed to get to Paris in a moments notice. I stepped through and into Marrienette’s room. I looked over at Max who shut down the portal and spoke into his horseshoe.
Pollen appeared next to me. “Buzz on.” I said quietly and Pollen began rapidly flying around me until the air became yellow pixels and it flowed down my body leaving a yellow and black suit, a mask and my black lightning bolt was gone from my hair. That was my transformation. Max looked up at me. “We’re at city hall.” He told me and transformed. I nodded, he was only needed most of the time as transport for me.
But I flew up and out Mari’s trapdoor up to her balcony and used my spinning top to fly through the streets until I made it to city hall. I landed on a building out of sight and watched as the scene unfolded. I could tell that it was the Mayor of Paris that had been akumatized.
“Malidiktator!” Ladybug yelled. “That’s his name.” I said under my breath and paged Ladybug from my spinning top to her yoyo. “Hey Bee.” She said to me, ducking out of sight. “Ok, so Mayor Bourgeois has been akumatized because his wife Audrey is being Audrey and now Chat Noir is under his control because Malidiktator got him.” Ladybug explained. “Ok.” I replied. “I may be able to get in unnoticed, but do you know where his akuma is?” I asked.
“I think it’s in his sash, but I'd appreciate the help.” Ladybug said. “Roger that, I’ll come in from the right.” I told her and she gave me the all clear. I jumped up and swung in behind him and nodded at Ladybug who jumped at him, I then noticed the orb that was following her, she was trying to dodge it. Ok Denki, think.
This will work out better if I’m not seen, which means I have to get close to him without him knowing, but I have to assume Hawk Moth can see doing this so he can let Malidiktator know and he can prepare for my attack. Which means I need Ladybug to keep all the attention on her and then I need to get him to turn around at the right time.
I sighed, filtering through my brain to come up with a plan. I sighed and just decided to go with it since I didn’t have much time with a plan. I ran, I ran so fast that I nearly tripped over my feet a couple of times and under my breath, I said, “venom.”
Malidiktator turned around and I jumped up off the ground and came flying down. A transparent yellow and black striped stinger appeared on my hand which was curled in a fist, in a punch stance. He brought two fingers to his mouth and I came crashing down, my fist made contact with his sash and he was frozen in place. Ladybug landed next to me, took his sash and snapped it in half and a little black butterfly came out of it and began to fly away. She took out her red and black polka dot yoyo and opened it, the inside glowed and she yo yoed the butterfly, caught it and then opened it again. “Babye little butterfly.” She smiled as the now white butterfly flew away.
Chat Noir appeared next to us and we turned to face each other, we all made a fist bump, the three of us saying in usion: “Pound it.”

We all ended up going back to Mari’s place because 1) we had easy access without looking suspicious and 2) there was no worry of her parents coming in because they were down in the bakery. It was about 7pm around about when we arrived back in her room and de - transformed, her parents didn’t shut up until 8pm so we were fine.
“Are you going back or are you staying?” Adrian asked me, twisting his ring. I laughed, taking my bee pin out of my hair and tucking it back into my pocket. I had a secret compartment in most of my clothes pockets so I could hide my miraculous. It wasn’t so much that I needed to hide it, I was good at losing things and it would be Murphy’s Law or something that I put something in my pocket and when I took it out, my miraculous would fall out, I wouldn’t notice and I would have lost it, with this, I specifically have to unzip the secret part of my pocket to get it - and hey, if I get mugged then they don’t get it either, It’s a win win no matter what situation I’m in.
“Yeah of course, where are we going?” I asked, taking my coat off, folding and placing it under the cushion of her chair along with my tie, so if Mari’s parents came in while we were gone, they wouldn’t be confused with some random teenage boy’s school uniform in her room, also, they might recognize the uniform and be extra confused.
I was now just in my pants and shirt which looked normal enough and I would not be recognized. I just had to stay away from reporters. God, if Mr Aizawa saw me on TV in France, he’d freak, thinking how the hell I got here so quickly. We left her room and snuck out the back door and walked to the ice skating rink, we got on our skates and began skating.
The rink was normally quite empty so we only had to share with the dude who worked there. I don’t know his name but I know he’s very nice. I got good at ice skating when I lived here.  Mum got a job here so we moved when I was nine and moved back when I was fifteen, soon to be sixteen so I could attend U.A. I received the Bee miraculous when I was thirteen, a week before my birthday when I turned fourteen.
I looked around and Max, Alya and Nino turned up and soon the six of us were prancing and making jumps and twirls and dancing around on the ice. If I had told the BakuSquad I was this good at ice skating, they’d probably laugh, but I liked having a secret - secrets are good when they don’t hurt people, unlike my one of being a Pro Hero in Paris. 
About an hour later, we stopped and changed back into our normal shoes and snuck around the news reporters, still doing their thing and went back to Mari’s house. They snuck me upstairs so Tom and Sabine didn’t see me, that would have been fun for Mari to explain if they’d seen me go up but not come down. I picked up my jacket and tie and Max transformed into Pegasus and opened his pixelated portal.
“Until next time my dudes.” I said quietly, giving them a wave, they waved back and I stepped through the portal into my own room. The portal shut behind me and I walked downstairs and Mum was just getting home. I gave her a hug and she asked me about my day. I told her all about it, leaving out the part when I helped save Paris of course.
