Chapter Three-They Bee Rollin'

   Okay so this is the funny chapter, mostly because there is no way the transition into having a bunch of functioning crime fighters is easy and I wanted to write a chaotic scene.




Marinette and Adrien tried. They really did. But perhaps the girl had overestimated how much attention and teaching they could give the three new superheroes. 

   Maybe I should't have given them all out at once. Ladybug got back on her feet again after trying to dodge out of the way when she thought one of Alya's clones was the real Volpina. The fox superhero had figured out how to make the illusions, but couldn't control them. They mostly flailed around the city for several minutes before *poofing* into orange smoke, but they managed to freak out a lot of tourists. One had injured himself doing exactly what Ladybug did just a few weeks before then.

   Speaking of injuries, Marinette thought, I think next time I should give a medic a Miraculous! At the start of patrol, when another one of Volpina's illusions had gone astray, Nino tried to poof it before it caused any more confusion. Unfortunately, Alya had gone after it too, and the boy had thrown his turtle shell shield right into the real Volpina's gut. When Nino had tried to catch his astray shield, he fumbled it and threw it into the tangled up yoyo that belonged to Ladybug (a prank) and vaulted itself into the air straight into Queen Bee's wings, which bent and sent her spiraling down to the rooftops, where she hung off Chat's baton. His baton was wedged in-between two roofs and Chat was walking across it (a bet), which meant of course he had to accidentally step on her fingers and send her straight into the hands of Paris's own Tom Dupin-Cheng, who was carrying flour and had stopped to laugh at the superheroes.

   So Ladybug had to play nursemaid to a bruised Chat (he slipped after stepping on Queen's fingers), a sulky Carapace, a whimpering Volpina, and a embarrassed, flour covered Queen Bee. On top of that, her father was still watching. Even though he didn't know Ladybug was actually his daughter, Marinette, it was still plenty embarrassing.

   "This is it." Ladybug announced. "We are not doing this again. From now on, only one of you can be out at a time. And you have to be with me or Chat." Various half-hearted groans emitted from the new heroes, but it seemed just for form's sake. None of them really wanted this to happen again. "And no fighting akumas." That caused more of a fuss, but eventually all three agreed that that did seem more wise, if less fun.


   Chat Noir and Ladybug looked at each other and simultaneously said, "This is going to take a while."


Sorry, this is a pretty short chapter. If you see any autocorrect mistakes (this computer likes to change Marinette to Marinara), tell me and I'll fix them--if I'm not feeling lazy as hell. If so, do me a favor and deal with it.
