Note: LOVELY ART OF JOHN AS LADYBUG BY THE OH SO TALENTED Stitchycitrine !!!!!! 

The distance murmurs of voices echoing the streets was high in New York City. Upset was drifting in the air as you gripped one hand in the other. Looking down through the window of your apartment, you watched the people walking along the streets. The mood gave a blue-violet feeling, like sadness and anxiousness. The weather was overcast, the sun not visible at all, just fog rolling in the city.

Glancing at the cold, steel ring on your fourth finger on your right hand. " Are you gonna go? " a deeper voice asked, and you averted your gaze to the palm sized black cat on your desk. His green orbs, bright, like Mother Nature, looked pleading for you to get out. " I'm..
I don't know, " you murmur, taking one hand out of the other and playing with the ring. " It won't be just you. T-there's always, another person, at least. There might be more, " the cat, whom you'd earlier been introduced to, flew up into the air and in front of you.

" Plagg, that doesn't make me feel better. I'm supposed to save people? I, I don't understand how I was.. ' chosen '. And, the power of destruction? What if I do something wrong? " you sigh out, putting a hand over your face. " I can't explain how but.. please. Your counterparts need you, and you'll not mess too much up, " he begged, the black whiskers adjoined to his face twitching. Getting up, you stuffed your hands in your pants, looking down. After a train of thought, you pulled one out and looked at the ring. " What'd you say the words were? "

He grinned, the casual playful manner finally coming back into his voice. " Claws out. Now, don't mess up too much! " he advised jokingly. You shake your head, chuckling. " Alright Plagg. Claws out! " you exclaim, shooting a hand into the atmosphere in a pose. The cat was suctioned into the ring, turning it into a black ring with a green paw print on the front.
You felt some sort of fabric stick onto your face; looking into a mirror, it turned out to be a black mask that enlarged your pupils and made them slits to look like a cats; along with a super suit, starting from the bottom, form itself onto your body.

It was a black bodysuit, a sort of leathery complexion that went up to your neck down to your toes. It was accompanied by combat boots that were attached to the suit, gloves that ended in points like cat claws, a belt that had a " tail ", and a headband with black cat ears, the insides a similar bright green to Plagg's eyes. " Huh. Isn't this something, " you mused, opening and closing your fingers a couple times. Turning on the TV, the god-damned issue the city was facing was the cover story.

" Breaking News! The self proclaimed ' super villain ' now has a tally of 6 injured. The nearly twenty-hour long issue has police exhausted. " Looking at the street, you quietly map in your head, nodding. Instinctively trying to push your hands into your pockets, you are interrupted by a small stick at your side. Tilting your head like a confused dog, you grab it, and it springs to life, becoming a large pole. Grinning, you mutter to yourself, " This could help. "

Pole vaulting over the crowds, you quickly make your way over the street. As expected, the villain is trying to fight off police. " Ah, great, " you murmur, carefully watching and debating on how you'll be able to beat them, before a yoyo-type string wraps around the pole. Turning around, a man is screaming for you to move as he follows the yoyo's path. He slams into you, you not being quick enough to move, and you let out a loud wheeze as you fall over. " I can assume.. you're my counterpart? " you huff, getting up, the man following. " U-uh, I guess so. I'm Jo-- " he cuts himself off, eyes widening. " I'm Ladybug, " he draws out carefully, looking himself up and down. He looks into your eyes and gives a sheepish smile.

His mediocrely long brown curls are pulled back into a ponytail with a red ribbon. Similar to yours, he has a bodysuit, but red with black dots. The neck is also black. Nothing too special; yours was more detailed. His face mask is also red and spotted. Although masked, he looks extremely handsome. " Nice to meet you, bugaboo. I'm.. Chat Noir, " you say, grinning. You can see the man blush under his mask, ears lit up. " Whatever, let's just figure this out. Let's see, " he said, staring down. " We need to distract the enemy to get away from the police. You distract them, to get down the street. I'm thinking we'll figure out where the akuma is when we get closer. " You nod, there was no way you'd be able to figure out where it was from such a distance.

You nod, jumping down to the scene. " Hey! " you yell at the person, and they turn around to become a copy of you, only their costume was white. " Copycat! Come follow me, you dumbass! " you scream, running off. They growl, and follow you down the street to an alley. Cornered, you look the person up and down, them standing in the front of the alleyway.They are gripping something in their hand. You look up to see Ladybug looking down.

" Hey, copycat, come get me! " you tease, sticking your tongue out. The person growls, and runs forward. Ladybug throws down a pack of marbles after yelling something that causes Copycat to trip and fall, the object tumbling out of their hand. Ladybug jumps down, stepping onto the object. A purple and black butterfly flies out of it. " That's the akuma! Get it! " you exclaim, Ladybug's eyes widening. He throws the yoyo up, and catches the butterfly. It is stuck in there for a couple minutes, before flying out as a normal, white butterfly.

" Nice. We make a good team, Ladybug, " you grin, wrapping an arm around his waist. " Yeah. Sorry, I didn't do the best of best. This is hard, and new, " he breathed out, resting his head on your shoulder. " Yeah, we'll get used to it though, I'm sure of it. " Both your Miraculous started to make high pitched clicking to signify that you were going to turn into your normal form. " Guess that's the bell. I'll see you next time there's a crisis, right? " Ladybug smiled, wrapping his yoyo on top of a building. " You know it. See ya, bugaboo, " you saluted before he tugged the string and flew off.

Catapulting back to your apartment, you collapsed to the floor, groaning as you de transformed. Plagg was back, laying on your knee. " I need camembert, " he whined, patting you. You chuckled, standing up and going to the kitchen and getting said food. " Here you go, pal, " you say, handing him the large chunk. He wastes no time digging in. And thus, listening to Plagg indulge in his cheese, you're left with pondering on your new superhero lifestyle.
