Miraculous: Marinette's Promise (Book Three Of the "Marinette's Baby" Series) ✔

Chapter 19

It was a quick motion.

The moment Alya called, Adrien was out the door. He couldn't explain much to Marinette's parents the sudden hurry, but Adrien needed to find Marinette as soon as possible.

Adrien felt terrible for cutting of bonding time with his son as he was left with his grandparents, but Adrien couldn't shake this terrible feeling he had deep in the pits of his stomach.

He could still hear Alya's frantic voice running through his head, even as he hauled ass back to their home to retrieve her earrings.
Chat Noir landed on a rooftop with ease, his green sclera green eyes scanning the area.

There was glass everywhere. It covered the ground, the bus benches, the buildings. It looked like a twister had rummaged through the streets and smashed every window in its wake.

The blonde extended his staff, allowing it to press on the pavement about a hundred feet below. He gripped on to the weapon and lowered himself on the ground.
His black cat ears flattened against his head with anxiety as his boots stepped on the glass that scattered the pavement. The glass was stained with blood, and the sight of it almost made Adrien weak. The thought of something like this happening to Marinette made his skin crawl.
The hero retracted his stick, keeping it in his hand as he walked along the pavement. His green eyes surveyed the scene at least for anyone conscious to tell him if they had seen his love.
The blonde paused, his heart racing as his cat ears lifted from his head. They flickered around at the sound of someone approaching him from behind.

Not wasting anytime, the male spun on his heels, his weapon drawn and ready to defend himself at any given chance.

"Wait!!" Alya exclaimed, her eyes wide than saucer plates. Her pupils shivered with fear, as she flinched, obviously afraid that Chat Noir was going to attack her out of instinct.

The black feline sighed, immediately retracting his stance with a grimace.
"Alya, you scared me-" he shook his head, reaching up to rub his temples.

Alya remained tense, her lips pressing together as she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

Chat's eyes moved around Alya, inquiring for his love before he moved around Alya.
"Where's Marinette? Wasn't she with you?" He asked, panic slowly etching into his voice before he turned to face the brunette once more.
Alya swallowed hard, anxiously tucking her hair behind her ears.

"I-I-I don't know-" she stammered. "We were both hiding in an alleyway. There was glass. This thing was shooting glass everywhere-" Alya explained, her eyes flickering back and forth at the memory. "She told me to get you. She wasn't wearing the earrings she needed, but she went back and I couldn't see her. I called you and by the time I returned she wasn't there. I don't know where she is."

Chat frowned, his brow furrowing as he almost felt defeated.
"Does Lila have her? Did she go off to find Lila?" He asked, his voice quivering. Wherever she was, Chat had hoped Tikki was with her. "She's not safe if she's with Lila, we have to find her..."

Alya sighed, she turned and began to glance at the glass on the ground.
"Do you think she left a paper trail?" She asked, quickly looking back up at Chat as he looked up, scanning the rooftops of the building for any possible suspects.

"Paper trail?" Chat asked. "Was Lila filing reports somewhere?" He asked, exasperated and completely desperate to find his wife.
Alya rolled her eyes, not entirely caring for his sarcasm.

"No! Everywhere she goes, she throws glass. That impact gives her the ability to control that person she's captured, but once the glass is out, that person regains control of themselves. When me and Marinette hid, all she did was throw shards, if we follow the disaster she's left behind we might be able to find Marinette."
