A Sudden Return 3/3✅

Miraculous Ladybug: 12

V-Vex? What are you doing?

Hawk Moth watched in surprise as Sabrina fell in the arms of her hero.

So you really choose her over me? That's it! Vex, you're officially an enemy of mine!

Vex's villain suit began to wear off, the people he took, that had disappeared inside his ball, were appearing back now, and it was Lucas who was holding onto Sabrina.

"Wow, Sabrina practically saved us there. She's a hero," Ladybug sighed as she watched Lucas put her down. She turned turned to Rena Rouge. "We better go check up on the boys."

Rena Rouge nodded and followed her.

"Lucas... Why did you do it ?" Sabrina looked in his eyes, confusion and curiosity rushing over her.

"You think I was really going to let you fall?" Lucas asked as he gave her a little smile. "Sabrina, don't you ever do such a thing again. What came over you?!"

"You," Sabrina replied. "I just wanted to stop you."

Lucas looked down, then he looked back up. "Why?" But without waiting for an answer, he crashed his lips onto Sabrina's, taking her by surprise.

Why do you care so much?

"This is the only place they could be now," Rena Rouge landed on the roof of Nino's house.

They had checked everywhere they could. Adrien's house, and Master Fu's lair, and hadn't seen them.

While at Master Fu's lair, Master Fu had told them the reason Cat Noir fainted was because he was supposed to rest first after getting the needle effect off of him.

Chloe was still tied up in the sack. She tried getting herself out, but without the needle, or without help, she was weak.

"Oh, and also Master Fu said," Rena Rouge reminded as they walked inside the house, "that Chloe told him someone else had the needle. So we're still not safe."

"But we don't know who has got it," Ladybug protested as her transformation wore off. Rena Rouge did the same thing with her transformation as they both barged inside of Nino's room.

"About time," Nino sighed, getting off his bed. "Have you defeated Vex yet? How? What happened?"

"We'll tell you in a moment," Marinette told him as she walked up to Adrien, who was sound asleep on Nino's bed. "Did he really faint?"

Nino nodded. "What's wrong with him?"

"Master Fu said it was because he was supposed to rest first before doing anything else," Rena Rouge explained. "But it's fine now. He's resting, so nothing bad should happen to him."

Marinette bent over, kissing Adrien's forehead, before she got up and turned to Nino with a grateful smile. "Thank you Nino, for taking care of him."

"Of course," Nino shrugged it off. "He's my best buddy. I would never leave him suffering. Plus, the fact that his father is Hawk Moth, his mother is dead, I'm sure he's taking in so much now. It must be tiring him."

"Don't let him get off bed at all today," Alya instructed. "He needs a good rest. He should probably also miss school tomorrow too. But it is a good thing that the next day after tomorrow isn't school. We can take that day to hang out and catch up on what we've missed."

As soon as Alya said that, but her and Nino turned to Marinette with the look of tell us how you and Adrien started dating.

"Alright, alright. You two go check up on Lucas and Sabrina to see if they're okay," Marinette cleared her throat, looking away. "As superheroes, we are to make sure everyone is safe."

Both Alya and Nino nodded. "And you'll be alone with Adrien in this room."

Marinette sighed as both of them started running off, laughing. She then turned to Adrien, touching his forehead.

You must be so tired of everything that's been going on, but I promise you, Adrien. I'm going to protect you with all of my heart!
