Hey, loves. See, aren't you glad I left the last chapter on a cliffhanger? Now I feel inclined to write more faster. :D
This origins re-write was actually a lot of fun.
Word Count: 2,634
Enjoy. ;)

Adrien's eyes fly open.
Everything is bright. An ear-splitting line of noise, almost like that of a teapot whistling, grows louder by the second. Adrien blinks and covers his ears with a grunt.
Slow-motion is the only way to describe how he's feeling.
He stumbles, vision blurry and ears numb.
A small black shape slips into his line of vision. Its mouth opens and closes, and Adrien blinks hard to try and see the bizarre creature a bit clearer.
"Kirambira."
The screeching, teapot-whistling sound increases two-fold, and Adrien's knees buckle under him. Something slips onto the ring finger of Adrien's right hand.
All at once, the white noise stops, and Adrien's vision clears.
Silence echoes in the empty clearing. Adrien stares.
"Don't freak out."
A panicked shout erupts from Adrien's mouth, and he finds himself taking rapid steps backwards.
The cat-like creature rolls his eyes and follows Adrien. "I just said―"
"You can talk!" Adrien screeches loudly, eyes comically wide. "You can―AAAH!" His heel catches on a small rock sticking out of the ground, and Adrien goes tumbling into the dirt. "Ouch."
"Yes, I can talk. Thanks for cutting me off." The black thing rolls its eyes again. "SO rude."
"Sorry?" Adrien apologizes, sounding more unsure than apologetic.
"Can I explain what's going on now?" the little cat asks, sounding insanely impatient.
Adrien opens his mouth to respond, but doesn't get the chance.
"Good. Basically: Hi, I'm Plagg, your magical Kwami. You've been given the ring of the Black Cat, blah blah blah... You're a superhero, and it's up to you and Ladybug to stop Hawk Moth from taking over the world. Capeesh?"
"...WHAT?!"

"I'm a... I'm a what?"
"A superhero, Marinette," Tikki says slowly. "Su-per-he-ro."
"I'm a... superhero..." Marinette's weirded-out expression grows dazed. "Am I dreaming?"
Tikki face-palms. "No! If you don't transform and go out there now, you and Chat Noir are going to be doomed!"
Marinette's eyes widen, and she points behind herself. "Like, now-now?"
"Marinette!"
"Okay, okay! What's the transformation key again?"
"Spots on."
Marinette sucks in a deep breath.
"Tikki, spots on?"
Marinette watches, equal parts petrified and wonder-struck as Tikki gets sucked into her earrings. The bluenette moves awkwardly, following her transformation as it swells around her.
