Something to Protect

During an akuma attack, Nino finds himself trapped with Adrien.

"I'm okay. Are you?" When Adrien ignored him and started rummaging around looking for a way out, Nino continued. "Listen buddy, Ladybug and Chat Noir will beat this dude. Then the magical ladybugs or whatever will fix everything and we'll get out of here. Don't worry!"



"I didn't see Chat Noir out there, did you?!" Adrien turned to face him with an intense look in his eyes.

Nino gasped. What did Adrien have against Chat Noir? Nino could feel himself getting defensive of the cat hero. "I didn't see Chat Noir out there, but I know that he will be."



"How do you know that?"



"Because Chat Noir is dependable."



"Really? I didn't think you had such a high opinion of him."
