Chapter 2: My Hero
Here she was… Marinette Dupain-Cheng… on the ground in front of the crumbling remains of her highschool. She'd just found out the love of her life was the one who'd been by her side all this time… her partner… her friend… the flirty little kitty who seemed to adore her and would do just about anything for her… and now… she was waiting for either the rubble to take her out… or him.
A loud scream came from the dark-haired girl as a large piece of said rubble landed on her legs sending a shot of pain through her. Her heart skipped a beat as she feared she was trapped, panting as she tried to calm herself. She wiggled and struggled against the rubble but all it did was send a shot of pain through her. She wanted to call out for help but… who would come to her rescue now?
He wouldn't… he wouldn't come… Not this time… not like he had every other time. He wouldn't save her from himself. No… he wasn't himself anymore… Her Cat Noir was gone… replaced by a flawed copy. A dark, tainted copy. Why hadn't she just… seen it? If she'd seen it… maybe if she'd… if she'd been a better friend. Adrien was overworked and lonely… he'd lost his mother… his father ignored him… and he was seeing the world for the first time after being locked up for so long in that empty mansion. Why hadn't she realized that he might just need… someone to be there… someone to talk to.
There was dust everywhere, pulling Marinette from her thoughts and causing her to cough as she tensed, looking behind her to spot Cat Blanc stepping out of the ruins of the school. He had his staff over one shoulder as he smirked darkly, eyeing the prone girl's form. He chuckled as he walked towards her, letting out calmly, "What's wrong little Princess? Cat got your tongue?" he purred, delighting in the fear that emanated from the blue-eyed girl.
Marinette whimpered softly, thinking about transforming right then and there but knowing it wasn't safe to reveal herself. This is why they'd never told each other who they were... Hawk Moth would find out who she was… and Cat Blanc would have her right where he wanted her if he knew who she was. She just prayed he wasn't going to hurt her... or do worse.
The golden eyed Cat paused a few steps away from her as the sound of a beep was heard. He scowled as he looked to his ring and Marinette's heart leaped in her chest. He was running out of time. He was going to return to his civilian form, "What's wrong, Kitty? Realize you're not as unstoppable as you thought?" she snapped out before her brain screamed at her, 'What in the world where you thinking! He's going to kill you for sure now!'
Cat Blanc growled at the girl as he stepped forward again, kneeling in front of her, "Oh, don't worry... We'll play again... little mouse..." he purred, one clawed finger coming up under her chin. He could kill her right there... but the sound of another beep caused him to growl and stand, "This isn't over, Paris... soon, your precious Ladybug's miraculous will belong to Hawk Moth... and then, Paris, itself, will follow."
Marinette's heart was in her throat as she felt the sharp claw against her chin, so close to her neck. She heard the second beep and thanked the gods for time-limited powers. She let out a breath she hadn't even realized she'd been holding as he stood up and made his declaration to those present, which included their class, the rest of the school body and a few passersby who'd come to see what was going on.
Cat Blanc grinned darkly at everyone gathered, looking over the terrified faces of people coming to the realization that one of their precious heroes had gone to the dark side. He finally turned, satisfied with the damage, mayhem and fear he'd caused and used his baton to pole-vault over the rubble of the school and out of sight. This wasn't over though… he would be back…
The moment Cat Blanc disappeared, students and staff rushed over to start pulling rubble off of Marinette, freeing the pigtailed girl. The school nurse quickly looked her over at this point, deciding that the best course of action would be to get her to the hospital for x-rays and a checkup. The girl looked like she was in shock.
"Marinette!" came a shout suddenly as Alya rushed up to her, now freed, pigtailed friend. Alya's mind a jumble of information as she pulled the other girl into a tight hug and let out, "are you okay? What were you thinking?! You could have been killed… Yanking me out of the way like that… I was so scared he was going to… are you okay? You're hurt, aren't you? We'll get you a doctor," she let out quickly, trembling as she gripped her friend as if the other might disappear if she let go.
Alya paused after a moment, however, when Marinette didn't reply. She frowned and pulled the girl up to check her over, "Mari?" she asked quietly as bluebell eyes looked into hers, tears stinging them as Marinette tried to hold them back. Finally… finally she knew the truth… she knew that her precious partner was her beloved Adrien… and now… now he was gone… taken from her by Hawk Moth and his disgusting Akuma. If she hadn't been so blind… maybe… she could have been there for him when he needed her most.
"Is she okay?" asked Nino as he stepped up, a solemn look on his face. He'd just found out his best friend was one of the heroes that Paris idolized and now that friend was Akumatized. He couldn't tell the other how cool he thought it was that he was Cat Noir… He pushed that back though, worried about Marinette who looked like she was about to break down. Alya had told him that Marinette had feelings for Adrien but… he hadn't realized just how much the blue haired girl loved the blond model.
Marinette stared blankly for what seemed like minutes but was really only a couple of seconds before she let out a strangled sob. She quickly covered her mouth as she curled in on herself, Alya pulling her closer as the girl broke down into sobs. She shook as she cried, in shock and terrified for the future… For her own… For Adrien's… and for the future of Paris itself.
"Marinette…" Alya whispered, frowning as she held the distraught girl tightly, "Come on girl… it's going to be okay… We'll get him back… Ladybug's going to save him… just like she always does… I just know it," she whispered, which only managed to make Marinette more distressed as the girl panicked and began to hyperventilate. She was going to have to fight alone… worst of all… she was going to have to fight her partner… her friend… her kitty… her Adrien…
Alya, as well as Miss Bustier, who'd been among those gathered, tried to talk the frightened and injured girl down but it didn't seem to be doing much. Soon enough, an ambulance arrived to take her, giving her a sedative to calm her down. Once she got drowsy, they put her on a stretcher and into the ambulance. Alya begged to go with her and Miss Bustier finally agreed, letting them know that she was going to give her parents a call so they could meet her at the hospital.
Marinette struggled just slightly when they tried to move her, mumbling something along the lines of, "have to… go after him… save… Adrien… let me go… I need to… go…" but everyone just figured she was delirious from shock, fear, and pain, so they ignored her words, brushing them off easily as incoherent ranting.
Nino watched as Alya got into the ambulance with Marinette before he let out, "Alya… take care of our girl, there… Adrien's going to need all his friends when he finally comes out of it…" he said with a nod and Alya smiled weakly and nodded. Adrien would come out of it… they were sure of that. Ladybug never lets them down.
Alya looked over to Marinette at this point as she sighed softly, "Don't you worry girl… we're going to get you taken care of… they'll patch you right up and then we're going to cheer Ladybug on as she saves the day… just like she always does… We'll cheer her on as long as it takes her to bring Adrien back to us… safe and sound," she said, smiling weakly.
She then chuckled softly as she looked at the dazed girl, who seemed about to fall asleep, "then… then I'm going to guilt trip that blonde bonehead into taking you out on a proper date. It's the least he owes you for putting you through all of this. Then… then he'll be able to see how amazing you are… and maybe he'll stop drooling over a girl who's clearly not in love with him…"
She then giggled slightly, wiping a tear from her eyes, "It all makes so much sense now though… doesn't it? Why that idiot was so obsessed over Ladybug… he had every right to be obsessed with her… he spent so much time with her… he knew her better than anyone… because they were partners. Still… she's always pushed him away. She doesn't love him… not like you do, girl… He'll see it… we'll make him see it. If it's the last thing we do. Then you two can be together… and be happy. You both deserve to be happy. Don't you think?" Alya said, her voice quiet but loud enough for Marinette to hear.
Alya brushed a strand of hair from Marinette's face as she watched Marinette continue to try and struggle to stay awake. The brunette shook her head, "Calm down… you need your rest, girl… you need to get better so that when Adrien comes back, you can give him a huge hug and tell him how much he means to you and how worried you were for him… and tell him how much of an idiot he is for scaring you like this. I swear I'm gonna deck him one for hurting you… and for scaring you."
Alya chuckled again, weakly, as she sniffled, afraid for both her friends, as she shook her head, "I'm rambling… aren't I? Just like you always do… Guess we've been spending too much time together…" she let out, sucking in a breath as Marinette's eyes finally slipped shut. She was finally giving into the drugs and not fighting them. Alya let out a thankful breath for this as her friend let sleep take over, "Get some rest girl… you need it… you deserve it. Thank you… you probably saved my life today… Thank you so much, Marinette. I don't care what anyone else says… Ladybug has nothing on you. You are my hero, girl…"
