Worlds Apart A Miraculous Ladybug Story (Completed)

Chapter 11

Marinette POV

I watched as Kaylee crawled through the screen of my computer, as it expanded so she, and a boy behind her, could easily fit through.

"Wha- how...?" I asked, very much confused.

"It's confusing, Mari," the boy said. He knew my name! He must've come here like Kaylee to know my name, especially the name Kaylee also called me once.

It was Saturday, and I had a bake sale to go to. Adrien would be there. Everybody would.

Ever since Kaylee had gone missing from my room, many freaked out. I had told Car Noir that it couldn't be an akuma, that the victim would have shown up by now, and I wished I was able to tell him more.

"I have to go... you can stay here..." I didn't really know what to do, honestly. "You could come with me, but we need a story that I found you, and this other kid, at my door or something like that."

"I am not just a random kid. My name is Joel. Same crazy stuff happened to me accept I didn't meet you and get to ruin everything. By the way... Cat Noir is Adr-" Kaylee shut him off.

"Don't! Stop!"

"Were you about to say who I think you were about to say? Is is..." I swallowed hard, not wanting to believe the possibility. "Adrien?"

Joel nodded slowly, and after a while Kaylee did too. I freaked out right then and there.

"If Adrien is Cat Noir, and Cat Noir likes Ladybug, then... then Adrien likes me! But does he only love the Ladybug side of me? How will I talk to him now?"

"You just described the love square." Kaylee said. "I wasn't gonna tell you, but if course knuckle head over here had to."

"Adriens dad is Hawkmoth! Mayura is his assistant Nathalie, and they need your miraculous to bring Adriens mother back to life, or back from her coma, or whatever." Joel was shaking up and down from excitement, but I was shaking of nervousness: of fear. Adriens dad. This would crush him. Kaylee was scowling at Joel now. I didn't blame her.

I had started walking out of the house without even realizing it, and pretty soon I reached the park where the bake sale was held, being followed by Kaylee and Joel the whole way.

"Hi, Marinette!" Adrien said with his wonderful smile.

"Adrien, I need to talk to you about something. Alone." I said, surprising myself by not stuttering.

"Okay..."

We walked to a deserted area and he asked, "Is something wrong?"

"You're Cat Noir. Don't deny it. You're Cat Noir," as I said this his eyes widened.

"What? How did you...?"

"I will explain later, but right now I need to tell you something else." I paused and made sure nobody was listening in, and I whispered to him, "I am Ladybug, Adrien."

He looked at me with his clear open eyes. First with confusion, then with realization and glee. He hugged me and I hugged him back, having longed for this moment with Adrien for a long time.

"I see it now! You are both so courageous and kind. I can't believe I didn't figure it out sooner!" He exclaimed. "Marinette, I love you!"

"I love you too, Adrien!" I replied.

"Woohoo! You go girl!"Alya yelled, gathering a clapping and cheering crowd.

"Okay, now something serious. I know who Hawkmoth and Mayura are, too. Let's go transform. Follow me."

We went into an alleyway, and nobody followed us, I made sure, and we transformed.

"Hawkmoth is Gabriel. Your father. Nathalie is Mayura. I'm so sorry, Adrien." As soon as I said this his expression turned to sorrow, and the he replied.

"Let's go defeat Hawkmoth, M'lady." That was the first time I heard him speak without humor in his voice.
