Twenty-Six

"Who do what revenge against?" She carefully worded because asking a person, not in their right mind 'What made you become Akumatized?' could lead to more problems than solutions.

Luka was one of the nicest and most forgiving men, Marinette knew. Whoever wronged him must have done something truly terrible. Ladybug attempted to get closer with her Lucky Charm not sure what she was going to do with a the cell phone.

Bicycle pedals, a box, a Ladybug costume, or car keys, on the other hand she could work with. But a cell phone?

"I want revenge against love." Soloiste spat.

"Don't we all," ChatNoir mumbled loud enough for Ladybug to hear.

Those words hurt more than being attacked by Soloiste. She knew running away from confrontation was not the answer but it's work for ten years. She needed to take Adrien's advice and tell ChatNoir. But how would he react?

She remembered how ChatNoir would lay down his life for her but did Emma really need a father? Of course she did it was known that girls that grew up without a father tended to not form long lasting relationships because they're scared of being rejected. ChatNoir never had a chance to take part of her life. Marinette could unintentionally cause more harm than good when trying to protect her daughter.

Soloiste hand lit up the familiar red and black. Was her Miraculous telling to just hand in over? No pun intended. But Sololiste grabbed Ladybug's arm with force. He reached for her left earring but instead of letting him achieve Papillon's goals. She flipped him pinning him to the ground.

"Not today." She then noticed circle electronic devices on the palm of his hands. She remember how Luka once told her those were used to wirelessly control the on stage smoke. Now they were not only causing a foggy battle arena but were also the source of the citizens turning into roadies.

She then realizes what doesn't mix well with electronics especially iPhones or in this case Bug phones. Heat. Heat in which would short circuit Soloiste's blasts so she could find the Akumatized item.

"Ladybug! Have you gone crazy?" ChatNoir remarked he tried to fend of Soloiste's roadies with his baton.

"Partially." She teased as she tried to figure out how to distract Soloiste long enough to slip the phone in his hand and try to find his Akuma. He was struggling to lay still for her to do either of those things. 'SCREW IT' she thought. Knowing ChatNoir would chew her ear off for doing something reckless and stupid. She was supposed to be the level headed one of the two. But ChatNoir didn't have any complaints when she kissed him when he was under an Akuma's control.

She planted a kiss on him. Hoping to explain this to Luka later without revealing her identity. She easily slipped the phone into his hand. Hearing a loud 'Crack' a sound in which was the effect of the battery putting pressure on the glass screen.

She knew he was no longer able to cause harm to the citizens of Paris. As her lips were locked something jabbed at her side. Was it her conscience telling her what she did was wrong? No, it was physical discomfort. In Soliste's leather jacket pocket was a object with sharp corners like a cube.

She took it out without alarming Soloiste by continuing to kiss him.  Not that she was against kissing her high school romance once again. She smirked as she parted from his soft lips. She felt a little guilty as if the events earlier with Adrien were a mistake.

Soloiste was confused on way Papillon hadn't given him orders to take Ladybug's Miraculous. He was in a position to do so. Ladybug's earrings were nearly in grasp. All he had to do was put his hands on Ladybug's cheek and with the slip of hand take the earrings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

She jumped up with the cubed item and hurried to ChatNoir's side. Giving him the item not letting him have a chance to ask about 'Why' she kissed the akumatized man. He just gave her a disappointing look before yelling 'Catalysm!'  freeing an Akuma.

"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug quickly called cleansing the Akuma into a pure white butterfly. Everything was returned as if it never happened.

"What happened?" Luka questioned as he held his head confused on what events had taken place. Think maybe he was hyped on drugs but he hadn't done any in several years. But what other reason would there be for Ladybug appearing in front of him.

"You were Akumatized." The super heroine said as she helped Luka on to his feet. She blushed a little embarrassed that she took 'advantage' of him in his Akumatized form.

"I was?" He patted his pocket's looking for the precious item that had held his Akuma.

"Looking for this?" She questioned. Now that she got a good look at it. It was a jewelry box.

"Thanks." He said as he embarrassingly rubbed the back of his neck.

"May I ask who it was for?" She was just curious. Whoever the girl was that was going to receive was damn lucky in Ladybug's eyes.

"Marinette." He said as he looked at the box knowing he should of asked if Marinette was still into him before asking such a big question.

"For... for.. Marinette?!" Ladybug shouted. She was just shocked. 'Why would he want to marry me?' She asked herself.

ChatNoir was eavesdropping on Luka and Ladybug's conversation. He heard the fact that Luka was going to propose to Marinette and couldn't help but to intervine.
Marinette and Emma  were now the only family ChatNoir had since he had told his father if he Akumatized one more person he would cut off all ties with him.

"Marinette? Isn't she dating that super model?" ChatNoir added acting childish towards his love rival.

"No. She's not. Nope. No way." Ladybug replied staring at the box in Luka's hand. Trying to keep herself from saying 'Yes' and kissing that sad expression off his face. Even know the moment with Adrien still lurked in the back of her mind.

"Maybe she's dating me." ChatNoir joked.

"ChatNoir! That's not possible. You made your choice ten years ago. So don't screw up his chances with Marinette because you thought a one night stand was.... FU..." She was going to keep on yelling at ChatNoir when she let her secret slip. Not the one about her and Marinette being the same person but the one of ChatNoir being the father.

She looked at Luka and it only took him a couple of seconds of registering the information before punching ChatNoir in the face. Ladybug didn't except that reaction from Luka. Ladybug noticed the paparazzi taking pictures. Luka punching a superhero would probably be first in the news headlines if it wasn't for Ladybug's reappearance.

"You can't punch superheroes. No matter how much they deserve it." Ladybug said standing between Luka and ChatNoir.

Both their Miraculouses started to beep and yet again after ten years the heroes went their separate ways.
