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

Chapter 34

Lucky charm.

No not the cereal but Ladybug's most powerful weapon.

Of course it required some thinking but Ladybug was almost always ready to use it for the most part.

When she had first started out as Ladybug, she had no idea what to do with the random items her power granted her.
It wasn't until Adrien suggested that it was just part of the answer that she realized that her lucky charm was just a piece of a puzzle she had to put together.

Overtime Marinette was nearly a pro at putting the puzzle pieces together.
After all, her lucky charm was usually something simple, like an everyday item.

So it was no surprise to Ladybug the moment she glanced down at the spotted roll of duct tape in her palms.

"Duct tape?"Ladybug mused, her brow furrowing as she picked off the tacky edge, subtly pulling it off the roll. "What am I supposed to do with this?"

Chat Noir stumbled backwards, his weapon blocking the sharp shards of glass that came flying his way.

He wasn't too thrilled that Lila had put him first in her death note book. It wasn't a pleasant feeling, he figured he deserved it.
In the past he went full on Lila, stopping at nothing until he knew she was dead.
In a way, he got a sour taste of his own medicine.

Chat grunted, pain radiating through his wrist as a shard of glass vibrated against the edge of his weapon.
The feline rolled towards his lady, his ears flickering at the sound of Lila moving to a different location.

His green eyes shifted towards the roll of tape in her heads and he chuckled, not expecting any less.

"I guess you're supposed to duct tape her up. Put some over her mouth, we won't ever have to hear her voice ever again." He teased.
His smile immediately faltered the moment he saw a few shards of glass hurling straight towards them.
The hero instantly began to block each shard with ease, sending them straight back towards Lila who dodged them.

"Maybe I should tape your face up." Ladybug whined, moving the tape towards his face in a threatening motion. "I'll keep you quiet."

Chat Noir stood up straight, laughing gently as he glanced back at his love with an obnoxious smile.
"I mean, a kiss would definitely shut me up. It'll give you enough time to figure things out."

Ladybug giggled, shaking her head.
It was funny to her that in the past, his taunting and flirting always annoyed her.
But now she certainly didn't want to have it any other way.
To not have a flirty Chat Noir during a fight, didn't feel like a normal fight at all.
"Mmm....touché... " the heroine gave in. She poked his cheek softly, before she leaned up and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips.

Lila glanced up, her eyes rolling at the couple.
"Gross..." she muttered under her breath.
Ladybug subtly pulled away, her blue eyes bouncing off a few items in her path.
"Oh..." she breathed glancing down at the roll of tape in her hands.

"I think I know what to do with this."

Chat Noir wiggled his brows playfully.
"Did my kiss help?" He asked. "I get told my kisses can cause revelations."

Ladybug stared at him blankly.
"No. Just....shut up." She shook her head with a light laugh. "When I say go...I need you to use you cataclysm on the street. But we need to lure her closer to the subway. Understand?" She asked.

Chat Noir stepped back, politely bowing to her.
"My lady wishes. My lady gets!" He spoke softly before he faced Lila who was just about ready to lace more shards of glass in her knuckles.
