Miraculous: New Life

Chapter 3 | Nightly Visits

-Adrien-

I left after knowing about Marinette's condition. She's okay, she'll be okay. At least that's what I hope. The doctors said that she broke a few bones on her ribcage and her ankle was sprained. Her whole body was covered in fresh wounds on the front while bruises of all kind were on her back. Both her parents and I were shock and confused about the wounds and bruise part. I don't know what happened to her at school.

I couldn't save her from the pain.

But, I don't have a choice. I was busy with my modelling schedule then I was excuse at school for a week because of a fashion show just across Paris. I haven't been able to text Nino about the event that happened when I was gone. The only news I got was Marinette being brought into a hospital.

The doctor said It'll take her four to five days to wake up and a week to recover. And I hope she'd wake up sooner than five days. I have to talk to her.

Once, I arrive home. No one was there to greet me-- as always and immediately made my way into my room and closed the door immediately. Plagg flew out from hiding and hovered right in front of me.

"What a tragedy!" Plagg exclaimed.

I frowned. "I know. I hope she recovers soon." Then my eyebrows furrowed, perplexed. "Though, I wonder what happened."

"While you think of that, I'll go get another cheese." And Plagg was quick to disappear right in front of me before I could even blink.

"But didn't you already ate the whole can earlier ago?" I called out.

"Still hungry." Of course. I sigh before dropping my body towards my soft bed.

I didn't what happened after that. All I know is that I was being embraced by a comfortable darkness.

-Third Person-

It was four days after what happened to Marinette that shocked everyone. Everyone at school weren't talking to each other. Almost silent that you could hear a drop of a pin. Everyone haven't heard any news about Marinette's health except for a certain blonde model. And due to busy days, Adrien doesn't have much time to hangout with Nino and Alya. You could say, he's almost avoiding them. Every night, he would constantly visit Marinette, checking on her before doing patrol without Ladybug for the fourth time.

Luckily, there were no akumas for four days straight.

Night has reach the city of Paris. As the time hits 11:00 pm sharp, people around the city still lingered around and the buildings that emits dozens of light made the whole place look more beautiful when you happen to be on top of the Eiffel Tower, watching everyone. But beyond that beauty lies the danger of everyone's life. The danger that comes from Hawkmoth's hand.

Being Chat Noir has its perks. That's what Adrien thought. His other persona made him feel free from being a perfect son and a well-known model. He can be whoever he wants, but there's a catch. Chat Noir is a super hero alongside with Ladybug, a super heroine that has the power to created and fix things. Pretty opposite to what Chat Hour's ability. To destroy.

Leaping from building to building using his baton, Chat Noir could feel the cold air hitting his expose cheeks. It made him smile ever so slightly, once again feeling the freedom he dreamed he would have. With every jump, he made it seem so effortless to do. People from below the ground would often look up and gape in awe upon catching sight of the famous black superhero. Most would take video on which the hero himself would wave before leaving on a certain direction.

Dieu Hospital.

He jump into the fifth floor and open the sixth glass window where Marinette's room was. Chat slowly opened the window and jumped inside as silent as a cat that lands on their feet. He crouch down before standing up and averted his eyes everywhere to check up on nurses that might come in. He locked the door and carefully approach Marinette on her hospital bed.
