Chat Gets Down to Business

"All I'm saying is that sometimes the ladybugs miss things. The people affected by that should be reimbursed for the damage."

"Like I said before." Sighed the insurance agent, "I'm sorry, but you can't classify yourself as a natural disaster unless you've somehow become an erratic weather change, Mr. Chat Noir."

"Just Chat is fine, but Mr. Williams, it's just not fair to the people who's homes we've destroyed. Isn't there something  you could do to help them through insurance?" Chat said, clearly agitated by the business man's refusal to come to a compromise.

"I'm afraid not. I do truly apologize, but I must be getting on to my next client." Mr. Williams pressed a button on his phone letting his assistant know that he was ready for his next appointment.

Chat let out a dejected sigh, but didn't move from his spot,"Mr. Williams, please, think of the children!"

The man let out another sigh, "As far as I know Chat, no one has ever been permanently injured by an akuma attack, now if you'll excuse me-"

"What about mental trauma!", Chat burst out.

"Insurance doesn't cover mental trauma, I'm afraid. You might want to talk to a therapist about that."

"What about medical insurance?! Will you cover people's psychiatry visits due to akuma attacks?!", Chat was getting louder by the minute. It was clear he wasn't going to take no for as answer.

"Very well Chat. I will look in to it. Now you really must be going, my next client is not always...the most patient."

From outside the door Chat could hear the sound of a very familiar Chloe Bourgeoisie screech, "WHAT ON EARTH COULD BE TAKING THAT LITTLE MAN SO LONG! DOES HE KNOW WHO I AM?!"  

Adrien physically cringed, feeling lucky that he wasn't on the other side of that conversation. He quickly stepped out of the small office, happy that he was able to do something for the people he had accidentally harmed in the process of saving Paris.

3 weeks later, all people mentally traumatized by akuma attacks, whether by the fear of the akuma or due to Chat and Ladybug's sometimes reckless way of saving citizens, officially had all psychiatric visits covered by medical insurance and Chat Noir could once again save the day, free from guilt.

I am so sorry, I literally just threw this together after seeing a writing prompt on Tumblr.

I've been working on a much better story, so this is just to tide you over until I'm finally satisfied with it.

I'm sorry it's so short!

Until next time,
