A New Partnership 2

Maman Hibou

Chapter 6

Jin sat in front of his desk looking into a school book he was using to study. Plagg sat on top of Jin's laptop, which was closed and the kwami took his place to appreciate the piece of cheese he received. Jin sighed, then rolled away from his desk to get up and stretch himself. Plagg looked across the bedroom at the bed of his holder, noticing the smartphone turning on its light to show the banner with a couple of messages from someone.

"Boy, your smartphone has got messages," Warned Plagg observing Jin glimpse back at the smartphone while continuing his exercise.

"I'm trying to focus on my learning. Can you just check it out, what it is?" Questioned Jin, then Plagg flew while transporting his food to the smartphone to look at the lit screen to see Marinette had sent several pictures and a caption to them.

"Marinette sent you pictures and it's from the grimoire," Commented Plagg. "Doesn't this get on the wrong hands, when she sends them to you like this?"

"Uh no, it's encoded," Stated Jin. "At least, that's what I heard," Mentioned Jin stretching himself and getting up.

"Okay, not that someone like Hawk Moth gets it on the hands," Explained Plagg watching Jin pick up the smartphone to open the images Marinette send him.

"She sent me pictures of some pages from different miraculouses and one of them is from the cat one," Pointed Jin out and sat down on his chair to zoom into the image to see the writing. "Oh cool," Jin commented, then opened the hood of his laptop to turn it on. Jin took from his backpack out a paper block, then moved to an empty page and copied down the letters from one image of his smartphone, while the laptop loaded. Jin took down his pen and used a thicker pen to copy the symbols, then Plagg sat down beside the mousepad to observe the holder write, afterward Jin moved his hand to enter his code and opened the internet search engine, so he could give into the search bar, what he needed to look for. Jin opened the images gallery and opened the first image, which was the most limpid. He looked at the letters, then compared them with the ones on the page of the grimoire and placed his smartphone by the screen of the laptop, then began to look through all the available symbols for the right ones.

Over the time, Jin had gotten carried away with deciphering the pages, which made him get tired and drop his head on the table to sleep. Plagg lied beside Jin's head napping as well, not bothered by the odd position the two had. The smartphone, which lied against the screen of the laptop, began to vibrate showing a push-notification warning about an akuma attack. Plagg, who sat on the laptop surface opened his eyes after sensing the vibration and looked at the smartphone lighting his face. Plagg turned his back to the smartphone and changed position to continue resting. The smartphone dropped with the front on the keyboard still vibrating, perking Jin up from the sleep. He looked half-dazed and grabbed his smartphone to check the message, then noticed a message from Marinette and the alert of the akuma.

"Gosh, it's almost 1 am and there's an akuma attack," Jin groaned sitting up on the chair, afterward opened the message of Marinette, which mentioned Jin about their mission.

"Take your space power-up. This villain is flying," Jin read, then began to massage his forehead wondering, where he had the power-ups. Jin watched Plagg point at the commode making Jin smile as he remembered, where the macarons were and opened the last shelf, where he kept his socks, then dug with his hand through it to find a small metal box and opened it to see the various colored macaron sorted in their suitable color. "Alright Plagg, let's go!" Ordered Jin taking out a purple macaron to hand it out to his kwami to eat it.
