A/N: Short Chapter because trying to write a decent akuma attack causes writers block...who knew?

Trouble

Adrien POV

I managed to return home without any suspicion from my father or Nathalie. I still have this feeling that I might have been a little too harsh on Chloe, but really what else could I do?

Marinette is my girlfriend now, I love her and I'm not just going to stand aside and let people disrespect her, not even Chloe who is my longest friend out of everyone.

Maybe after this whole thing with the media does down I'll try talking to Chloe again, but as of right now she needs to know how serious I am.

My phone starts buzzing from inside my pocket, I pull it out to look at my screen and I can't fight the smile from appearing from my face as I see that it's a text from Marinette.

M: Adrien are you okay? You left in a hurry...

I feel guilty for suddenly leaving her at Alya's place. I guess I was determined to get my point across with Chloe and I didn't even tell her where I was going. I typed back a message.

A: I'm fine Princess. I just had to take care of something...

After the message was sent it took a minute for her to respond back.

M: Alright...but are you sure everything's okay? Do you want to talk about it?

My smile became brighter, I don't know why I didn't make her mine sooner.

A: Yeah I'm fine really, just a little irritated I guess I'll tell you about it when I come to see you.

M: You're coming back?

A: Of course, I can't be away from my princess for too long. Parting is such sweet sorrow~

M: STOOOOOOOOP...

I chuckled at her last message, but before I can finish typing my next message the sound of glass breaking causes me to stop and I turn around towards the sound.

The window was shattered, mostly because someone had came crashing through it. A girl in a black suit covered in red spots with a matching mask on her face and yoyo in her hand. Her hair was up in a blonde ponytail and she gave a menacing glare paired with a sickeningly sweet smile.

"Hello Adrikins~" she spoke. "I was hoping I'd find you back home."

My eyes widened when I realized the girl's identity. "Chloe?"

"I'm NOT Chloe, I'm Antibug now and I'm going to prove to you that I'm way better than any other girl. Better than Ladybug and DEFINITELY better than Marinette!"

It was clear that Chloe was once again an akumatized victim, but what was she talking about? Better than Ladybug? Better than Marinette?

"Chloe listen to me..." I started. "You have to try to snap out of it, Hawkmoth is using you again-"

"No you listen to me! I am sick and tired of EVERYONE choosing Marinette over me. I am not about to let you do the same." She approached the me and grabbed me by the shirt. "You're coming with me..."

I struggled as much as I could, to no avail as I was whisked out of the window.

oooooo

Marinette POV

I stared at my phone for I don't know how long. I was currently waiting for Adrien's next reply. He had been typing, but he stopped and still hasn't said anything back to me.

"Girl you keep staring at your phone like that and you just might burn a hole through it." Alya said in a snarky remark.

I rolled my eyes. "Well for your information I was texting Adrien. He was typing something and then he just...stopped."

"Maybe his dad walked in on him or something. You know how it is with him."

"Yeah you're probably right." I said setting my phone down on the coffee table.

"Why don't we watch a movie to get our minds off this situation for a little bit? I have a bag of popcorn in the cabinet, you go pop and I go pick."

I reflected her smile as we both stood up from the couch and walked over to our destined points. As I waited for the popcorn to cook in the microwave I noticed that the TV was still on the news channel. I was determined to turn it off but as soon as I picked up the remote something was happening on the screen.

"This just in! Witnesses have reported that Ladybug was seen carrying a civilian across the rooftops of Paris rather aggressively."

My eyes widened and my hand holding the remote lowers as I listen.

"I'm being told that the spotted woman may not have been Ladybug at all but an akuma dressed like her. She's currently been spotted at the tip of the Eiffel tower and it appears that the civilian she was carrying is her prisoner."

The screen changes and through the helicopter's camera I can see the girl in spots. Something about her was familiar, but I didn't have much time to figure out who she was as my main concern was the civilian she had with her.

Right there tied up against the top of the Effiel was none other than Adrien Agreste.

"Tikki! Spots on!"

Normal POV

Alya stepped out of the room with two selections in her hand. "Alright Mar do you want to watch 17 Again or 13 going on 30? If neither of those sound fun the we could try seeing what's on...net...flix..."

The woman with glasses voiced drifted when she realized her friend was no where in sight and that it was just her and the sound of the beeping microwave.

"Where the hell did she go?"
