A Series of Events

The next morning, Ladybug and Chat woke up a little earlier, and got dressed. They headed to the dining room, and had breakfast with Alex who was awake.

"Today Tony will teach you how to use your new gadgets. Make sure your kwami eats a lot of food." She advised them.

Adrien placed a large round of camembert in front of him, and watched it disappear in Plagg's mouth. Tikki ate a whole box of cookies gladly, and was all ready.

"Spots on." Marinette said.

"Claws out." Chat transformed. The two were now in their suits. Chat now had no ears, and his ringed hand was glove-less. Marinette's back was bare as well.

Tony walked into the dining room, and silently lead them to another room. The group walked into a very dark room, but the lights soon turned on, and the room was illuminated. The whole room was lined with cages, weapons, large obstacles, and no windows.

"In here, I'll teach you how to use your new weapons, show you some moves, and also some tips and tricks to persuading others to give you what you want." He told them. He walked over to a case, and opened it. Inside were a couple of trinkets that looked very ordinary.

He grabbed a couple of different looking lipsticks, a compact mirror, a handkerchief, a little rectangular object, a watch, and two not-so-subtle knives. He handed Marinette the lipsticks and compact. Then handed Chat the handkerchief, watch, and the weird rectangular object. And they each got a knife.

"First let's start with the lipsticks. They're color coded." Marinette placed the lipsticks on the table provided. There was a navy, lavender, red, black, and a green lipstick.

"Open the green. It's a poison." He said. She opened it, and it looked like a normal green lipstick.

"It's a little concoction of my own. Chloroform in two types. Ask someone if the lipstick smells nice, and they'll pass out. Swipe it on their lips, and they'll stay passed out for about 6-7 hours. It goes on clear so no one will notice it." He told her. She placed the cap on, and put it down.

"The lavender is kind of a drug I've been making. There's a type of dangerous drug on the streets that makes you someone's mindless slave for a couple of hours. This one last only for a couple minutes. And the victim has no memory of it afterwards. All you've got to do is have them sniff it, and they're yours." He told her. She made sure not to get it too close, and she capped it.

"The red is not a lipstick drug, but a little hot laser. If you have any trouble getting out of a situation or through an obstacle, burn your way through." He said. She opened the lipstick, and there was nothing inside. But when she pressed the button with it aimed at the table, a whole burned through. She turned it off and capped it.

"The navy color is multipurpose. The bottom holds some contacts that will trick any system into recognizing your iris scan. Then the top will open up to a miniature knife that will cause pain and bleeding, but not any lethal damage. So if you need a diversion, hold that lipstick around and prick someone. The barbs will cause pain that will cause a diversion for you to sneak around." Marinette uncapped it, and saw a barbed knife. Chat was extremely impressed with that one.

"And the black one is just a normal red lipstick. So if you need to use your compact, but pretend you're applying more lipstick." He said. Marinette opened the black one, and was pleasantly surprised by a nice shade of burgundy.

She placed them down, and picked up the compact. When she opened it, it looked like a camera.

Chat's watch turned on, and he picked it up. It was a camera that showed him Ladybug.
