Hey readers! I decided to go through some of my original stories to update/fix/add some stuff as I read. I've updated all of Miraculous: Revelation, so be on the look out for updated/refreshed versions of my other stories!

Chapter 1: The Lady and the Kitty

General POV

Volpina cackled maniacally as she dangled Adrien off the top of the Eiffel Tower. "Give me your Miraculous NOW or I will…" she shook Adrien, causing him to slip ever so slightly.

Ladybug couldn't believe Volpina would actually drop him. "I thought you loved him!"

Volpina's face quirked into a cruel smile. "Not as much as seeing you two defeated." She pulled Adrien up to eye level. "No hard feelings, right?"

Chat Noir knew that the Adrien Volpina was holding hostage was a fake; somehow, he needed to convince Ladybug of the fact without revealing his secret identity. "You're bluffing! It's just another illusion!"

"You wanna bet on that?" The villainess shook "Adrien" again, gradually losing her grip until…

"NO!" Ladybug screamed, fear ripping from the deepest point inside her. She couldn't risk letting the boy she loved- her friend- fall to his death on her behalf. She started to remove her earrings.

Chat Noir could not comprehend why Ladybug would give up her Miraculous for Adrien Agreste, but he knew that she should not, COULD NOT, give it up for a lie. "Don't do it, Ladybug!" He had to get her to see that this was a trick. Chat threw his baton as hard as he could at Volpina.

Ladybug watched the baton fly in slow motion. "NOOOO!" she screamed again before seeing Adrien and Volpina vanish in a puff of smoke. It… it was all… a lie? An illusion? Ladybug knew the rest of her thoughts would have to wait until the end of the battle.

After the defeat of Volpina…

Ladybug knew she needed to check on Adrien after Volpina and the akuma had been taken care of. When she arrived in his room, she heard the shower running. "Adrien? Are you there? Is everything okay?"

Chat Noir had made it back just in time to turn the shower on. "Yeah, yeah. I just had to grab a shower after all this excitement!"

"Oh, yeah, sure. I'm sorry, I'll be off then…"

"Thank you!"

Unbeknownst to each other, Ladybug and Chat Noir placed their heads on the door that divided them, each pining for the one they knew they could not have. Ladybug was the first to break away and leapt out the window. Chat Noir came out of the bathroom and sighed as he watched his partner swing away.

"Plagg, claws out." The boy de-transformed as the kwami exited the ring, immediately searching for his beloved Camembert cheese. Adrien had had enough of this. "Plagg, I need to find out who she is."
