Queen of Lies

Chapter Nine- The Truth

"What's the plan?" Rena asked as she and Cat Noir jumped onto the next rooftop on the route to the park Next to Marinette's place. " I don't really know, Ladybug is the one makes all of the plans, I just make the puns." Cat Noir snickered, while Rena Rouge just chuckled and rolled her eyes, how is Ladybug able to deal with him in every akuma fight. "Let's go find Ladybug then, shall we? Lila has gotten on my last nerve already. So I just want to end this." Cat Noir nodded, "You have no idea." Adrien said arriving at the spot that Marinette had told the three of them to go to. It was the park that Marinette lived next to, so he didn't know if she thought this was a good place to get Lila, or if she just wanted to be closer to home. The two of them his behind a tree, waiting for the spotted super hero to arrive so she would explain the plan. 

---Five minutes later---

"Rena Rouge, Cat Noir, where are you two?! I've been looking for you guys for the last five minutes! We need to go deakumatize Chameleon." Ladybug was looking for her best friend and boyfriend (she still couldn't believe she could call him that, and she doesn't think she ever could, but she thinks she is the luckiest girl in the world) in they're costume at the park. At that moment Chameleon took this as the perfect opportunity to make an ambush on her while she was off guard she ran and tried to push her to the ground, but instead she went flying through her, landing on the ground. It was an illusion. They tricked her with an illusion. The three heroes came out of hiding and de-evilized Lila, to her dismay. 

Lila was disappointed in herself. She should have known it was a trick, and once again, the most favorited hero in Paris had outsmarted her. But this isn't the end, this is just the beginning. "Just you wait Ladybug, something is headed for you that you won't see coming." She whispered to herself. "It might even kill you." She added, and walked away.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" Her lucky charm transformed into the special ladybugs and flew around the city, healing everything from a sleeping civilian to a flipped bus with panicking people trapped inside. 

"Pound it." The three of them bumped their fists together and Alya squealed, grabbing her phone to take one last photo before she gave her Miraculous back, though reluctantly. It wasn't that Marinette didn't think they would make a great team, far from in fact, but she just didn't wast to risk her best friends safety, she was already doing that with her boyfriend, and that alone was killing her. 

"That was really smart of you to make an illusion of yourself to get her to come out of hiding bugaboo." Cat Noir said wrapping his arm around her giving her a side hug before following Rena Rouge away, into an ally, but not without missing the bright blush that was spreading on her face. He loved being able to do that to her. Especially when she would hide in his arm out of  embarrassment, he just thought is was so cute, she was so cute.

Rena hid to detransform and a newly detransformed Adrien came back out and said he would take the fox Miraculous back to Master Fu. Ladybug went over to Lila to explain what had just happened, but she was no where to be seen, Ladybug understands why she hates her, but it was never going to work out between her and Adrien in the first place, so it's not really her fault. This girl needs to figure out how to stop holding a grudge. It is not good for your mind. It could make you go insane.

The next day before school, Adrien surprised Marinette with a ride. Even though her house was right across the street from the school, Adrien did it anyway. Maybe it was because he was being a gentlemen, or maybe it was because he just wanted some alone time with her, for no reason what so ever. For whatever reason it was, she was happy with it, and he could tell by the color of her face when she left the car. The smirk never leaving his face. That only made her blush even more. Then his face did a 360, and it surprised her. He went from mischievous to serious and worried in a second. 

  "Are you sure you're going to do this" Adrien knew how important Marinette thought keeping her identity a secret was to her. He didn't want her to think that she had to, it was her choice, and he would never make her do anything she didn't want to do. Especially something like this.

"It'll be worth it, it'll fix everything" Adrien had a concerned look on his face, but she just kissed his cheek, "I promise." it was as if that answered the question he was saying in his mind, then they walked into the class hand-in-hand. She knew that always calmed him down.

"Everyone, there's something I need to tell you," Everyone's eyes were on her, including a specific liar who was in the back of the room, but no one knew she was there since she came in very early. "Lila isn't Ladybug..." She looked at Adrien and he smiled at her and nodded. "I am." Everyone was cured.

"Marinette, that's awesome. You know you owe me like four million interviews on my Ladyblog, and you will give them to me, but I have a question, do you who Cat Noir is?"

Marinette looked at Adrien then back at Alya. "No." She felt him squeeze her hand, and she leaned into his side, "Not yet anyway."
