His Mute Princess

Chapter 53

After the surprise mini-meeting the heroes had, Adrien (now Chat) took Marinette back home. Chat placed her down on her bed and covered her up with her blankets. "Again, I'm sorry for taking you out in this cold weather. Man, I really need to start using my brain."

Marintte laughed and gave his hand a small squeeze. Chat smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Now I have to explain to my mom why you kidnapped me, Marinette signed. Chat cringed a little, "Yeah, sorry about that too, do I even know how to think?" Marinette laughed again. Chat grinned. He liked making her smile.

'Are you going to school tomorrow?' Mari asked. "Yes."

'Ok, see you tomorrow then?'

"See you tomorrow, princess." Chat gave Mari a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

Right as he left, Marinette heard her door open. She leaned over and saw her mom peeking in. "Oh good! You're back! I didn't tell your father, but next time he takes you out in this cold weather I will hurt that boy. Tell him that, please?" Sabine said with a smile.

Marinette simply nodded, shocked.

"Good. I'll bring you some warm soup and some more blankets sweetheart."

The next day at school, both Marinette and Adrien showed up. Alya and Nino were both glad to see them fine.

The teacher gave them their missing assignments. "Some of these required group work, but since everyone has already finished, you two will have to work together. There's no classtime for you to work on it, so you two will need to work outside of class. Since it was a group assignment and not done in pairs, you have the weekend. I am available through email if you need any assistance," their teacher smiled.

Perfect, Adrien thought. The event his dad was going to was over the weekend. They could possibly take that chance.

It was near the end of the school day when an akuma struck. It had been quite a while since one had appeared.

Since it was near the end of the day, classes were dismissed. Adrien and Marinette took this chance to leave and transform.

Ladybug, Chat, and Marinette met up near the location of the akuma attack. "Ok so, what is it this time? Is it noise related?" Chat asked.

Ladybug took out her yoyo and opened it. "Doesn't seem so. Videos show a girl is Alice in Wonderland type clothing."

"Well thank fuck for that, my ears are tired of noise related akumas," Chat sighed.

Marinette laughed and Ladybug rolled her eyes. "Let's get this over with. We have bigger things to deal with." The couple nodded.

The trio made their way over to the nearby back. Just like Ladybug had said, a blonde girl with a blue Alice in wonderland type dress was causing chaos. She was making the plants come to life and turning people into animals.

Ladybug scanned the scene, "Ok, here's the plan: Chat and I will go in, this akuma doesn't seem to be any different that normal."

"What will Mari do?" Chat asked. Ladybug hummed, "She could wait out until we ask for help. She's still a secret from the public, so the idea of her helping civilians is out the window."

"I could do it. Limiting the civilians around the akuma will slow her down. She's turned almost every tree around her alive already, so there's not much more to add to her weird wonderland army."

"That's a good plan. You should really use your brain more often, Chat," Ladybug grinned. Marinette giggled. Chat narrowed his eyes at LB.

"In all seriousness," Ladybug continued, "it's a good plan. It might not do much but limiting her army can help. Let's go Mari."
