Chapter 12

Je sais qu'un jour on s'envolera

Car mon amour, un jour tu verras

Qu'après de moi tu deviendras toi

"I have bad news for you," Sirena told Ladybug and Chat, the night after Ryuko and Queen Bee defeated the Sleuth as they sat together on the arc de triumphe. "I went to visit every person from the Akuma victim list and none of them seem to have any connection with Hawk Moth,"

"Are you sure?" Ladybug asked dangling her feet on the edge of the structure,

"Very sure, every name is checked, you can take a look at my notes if you want to," I answered, handing her my tablet,

"I honestly thought that this plan would work," Chat mumbled,

"Well, we need a new plan," Ladybug stated, returning my tablet after giving it a quick look,

"We can't go back to checking every person in Paris, can we?" Chat placed a hand on his chin as if thinking of something

"Let's not," I pleaded, "There's gotta be another way,"

"I don't think we have to," Ladybug started as if a bulb had gone off in her brain, "Hawk Moth must have a range if we can localize the victims maybe we can come up with a location from where the attacks are coming,"

"But all the victims live in different sides of the city, some of them don't even have a permanent residence here," My head flooded with the information I had gathered over months, and it was becoming harder to think clearly, especially this late at night,

"But we don't need that, do we?" Ladybug smirked, and Chat's eyes glowed with understanding,

"All we need is the place where they were akumatized! brilliant My Lady," Chat chimed,

"I'm guessing you don't carry a map with you, am I right, Sirena?" Ladybug looked at me

"Do I look like I'm eighty-four to you? I only have the one on my tablet," I showed it to her and we began to mark a ruff location of where the attacks had been and, except for StarTrain, we came up with a nice range surrounding the Eiffel Tower,

"According to this, Hawk Moth could be hiding around this general area," Ladybug pointed in the map, "I wish we had more information though, we could come up with something more precise,"

"That's going to be tricky anyway, a lot of people live around there, plus there are thousands of tourists every day. Are you sure you'll be fine?" Chat pointed out. I remembered that he should have a better knowledge of the place, since his house was inside the range, pretty close to the center, actually.

"Don't worry! You guys focus on protecting Paris, I'll focus on finding Hawky." I pointed at me with my thumb.

We continued to work on a more precise strategy until we noticed how late it was getting. Ladybug and I went home together, but Chat decided to stay a little longer, and after he was sure that we were both long gone he said,

"Plagg claws out,"

"Nice view," Plagg exclaimed as the transformation fell. Plagg took a seat on Adrien's shoulder to enjoy the landscape, "But why did you detransform? I've always known you were a little up the hole, but this is a whole other kind of crazy," He said lazily,

"I just wanted to talk to someone,"

"My, my, what a surprise, Adrien wants to talk, no, wait, let me guess, you want to talk about Ladybug," Plagg said sitting against Adrien's neck,
