A Spider in Paris Season 2

Episode 8 Part 2~Befana

Place des Vosges
Y/N's POV

'Okay... for the moment of truth...'

It hasn't been a full thirty seconds and I was still staring intently at Marinette's gift to me.

Alya: (sighs)Open it, you two!

Shaking my head, I slowly reach for the present's lid. Before I could take a peek at what's inside, a voice echoed throughout the park.

♫ La Befana comes at night, on her shaky broom in flight. She gives candy to those who are dandy. ♫

The one who called herself Befana hops off of her motorcycle and appears in front of me and Marinette.

Marinette: Grandma?!

Befana: You lied to your grandma, Marinette?

Itsy: (whispers to Y/N)We gotta go before something happens, Y/N!

Y/N: (to Itsy)I know... but not now...

Marinette: No, I -- I didn't know Alya was throwing a surprise party for me and Y/N.

Alya: (moves in front of Marinette)She's for real, ma'am.

Befana: And all those candies you pretended to be eating?

Marinette: I'm sorry, grandma. It's just that I didn't want to upset you.

Befana: I'm not your grandma anymore. From now on, I am only Befana! And I'm going to punish you for all those lies!

She aims her gun at Marinette, but I stepped in time and threw Marinette's present at the gun, turning the present into a block of coal.

Y/N: Marinette, come with me!

Marinette: Okay!

Befana: It's rude to leave while Befana's still speaking to you.

Looking over my shoulder, I saw Befana bring up her gun again. Before she could pull the trigger, Chat Noir jumps in and knocks her aim off. He perches himself on a speaker.

Chat Noir: Hey, I never knew grandmas could be so nasty.

'Now's our chance!'

Y/N: C'mon, Marinette! We need to get you as far away from her.

Marinette: But -- !

Y/N: I'm sure the heroes are already taking care of her. We just have to do our part and keep you safe.

Marinette hesitated for a second before running ahead of me.

Timeskip>>>

Y/N: Stay here. I'll come back when she's gone.

Before I could find a safe place to transform, Marinette grasps my wrist.

Marinette: Where are you going?

Y/N: I'm finding a place to hide. We can't be hiding in the same spot.

Marinette: Just... stay safe, okay?

Y/N: Same goes for you.

I gave her one last look before running into an alleyway to transform.

Y/N: That took longer than I thought... (to Itsy)Itsy! Let's swing into action!

Itsy: Aye!

Running out of the alley, I flung my wrist into the air and released a string of web. Making my way back to the park.
