Chapter One

Thanks for the Help

POV: Chat Noir

"Ladybug!" Chat's scream filled the air as Ladybug's body fell.

The akuma had been brutal. Both masked teens were battered and bruised but somehow Ladybug had managed to use her Lucky Charm and get the akuma purified. But the Dragonfly like victim had been miles in the air by that point. Throwing her Lucky Charm into the air, Ladybug reversed the damage and saved the victim, but she was falling… and she wasn't using her yo-yo to swing to safely.

Chat leapt from the roof after her. He dove, angling his body to fall towards her, catching up as they rushed towards the concrete below. Screams started reaching his ears as the onlookers realized what was happening. Finally understanding that Ladybug wasn't going to save herself.

Chat reached her without a second to spare. Gripping her around the waist, he extended his baton towards the closest building, stabbing the cement to slow their decent. The extreme jarring ripped at his arm and shoulder but he refused to let it affect him. Using his baton as propulsion, he shot towards the building across the street and grabbed the cement facade with one clawed hand. The claws were tearing apart as his decent continued – his speed was still too great – he leapt away to a third building, then a fourth. Each time trying to slow his momentum.

All too quickly only ten stories separated him from the concrete below. He leapt to a far building and he gripped with all his might, screaming in pain as he slid down it's face. Finally Chat jumped for the last time toward a field of grass he hoped wasn't too far to reach.

He curled his body around Ladybug and angled his back to the ground just as they impacted the earth. The two heroes bounced off the ground, rolling and tumbling through the air, ripping the grass with each new impact. Ultimately the momentum slowed to a stop and Chat Noir found he was laying on his back. He groaned, pain like he'd never felt coursed through his body, throbbing like a pulse, but he couldn't – wouldn't – let that affect him, not yet. He rolled to his side and laid Ladybug in the grass beside him. He hesitantly raised a shaking hand to check for a pulse.

All around him screams from civilians grew louder as a growing crowd rushed to the duo. Everyone who had witnessed the fall swarmed around the teenage heroes. What sounded like hundreds of voices combined into a hum like a beehive on crack. Most voices came from strangers but one voice inparticular he knew well.

"Oh, my god! Ladybug! Chat Noir!" Alya's voice was frantic with worry, her phone forgotten somewhere on the ground. She skidded to a halt and knelt beside the two, her face white as a sheet. Her eyes flitted across both heroes, finally meeting Chat's gaze. Any relief that rose upon seeing he was conscience vanished as she turned her focus to Ladybug.

"Is… is she okay?" Chat asked, barely able to move his own battered limbs to check for farther injury. He wasn't even sure if the pulse he thought he felt was Ladybug's or his own.

Alya started examining Ladybug, carefully moving limbs and joints, checking the suit for rips or blood that might indicate internal injury. Her frantic examination slowed as her hands moved from limb to limb, her fear slowly turned to relief, and her eyes began to water. "She's ok, she-she's ok Chat Noir, she's okay," Alya sobbed, fighting back the enormous wave of relief that threatened to make her a blubbering mess.

"Thank god," Chat said, his body relaxing against the ground as he let out a long breath. His arms wrapped themselves around Ladybug again and pulled her close, holding her body close to his.

"Chat! Y-your hands!" Alya cried, pointing to the claws -or to what had been claws. Black fabric was torn away from the tip of each finger, flesh and blood slowly seeped out. He cautiously examined one hand, turning it around carefully. Yet somehow, he did not feel the level of pain he had expected. He felt pain, his fingers and hands stung like mad, yes, but that was all.

"They will heal," he finally said, chalking it up to the Miraculous' magic.

Beginning to move he struggled to sit up and almost fell back down before a set of arms reached around him and helped steady him, keeping him upright. Turning he saw Nino behind him. When Chat met the teen's eyes, he suddenly looked apologetic.

"Sorry dude! I didn't mean... to..."

"It's fine, thanks," Chat murmured, looking back at Ladybug and his surroundings.

Quite the crowd had appeared around them and he started wondering how he and Ladybug would get away. He sure didn't feel like leaping from building to building at the moment – even if his claws had been there to help him. But then more pressing matters arose.

BEEEP!

The sound came from Ladybugs earrings and what color that remained in his face drained away completely. He had to get her away to safely – secrecy – before time ran out. He glanced at her earrings – only two dots remained.

Alya noticed this as well and she immediately turned to the crowd. "We need to leave!" she shouted.

When well over half the people protested, she spoke up again.

"Is this really how you want to learn her identity? She's protected us for months! It's time we protect her!" Alya yelled.

While this swayed some people, not all seemed to agree.

"Leave!" she screamed.

"And what about you?!" someone called out.

"I'll be leaving too. I'm not finding out this way! I would never do that to Ladybug," Alya said, standing from her spot beside the super heroin.

"Um… here."

Alya turned to see a small girl holding a blanket out to her. It was large, like a picnic blanket.

"Why?" Alya asked.

"To cover her up, so no one sees," the little girl said, handing the blanket to Alya.

"Th-thank you," the brunette said, relief flooded her features.

Behind them Nino had been helping Chat Noir to his feet. "G-get her on my back," Chat directed. Turning around he bent low so that Nino could lift the girl into a piggy back style hold.

"You sure you can do this man? You look beat up," Nino said.

"I don't have a choice," Chat answered. "But thanks for the help guys."

"Here!" Alya called, hurrying over with the blanket. She carefully draped it over Ladybug's form, hiding the girls head and arms from sight, tucking in the blanket everywhere she could so that it wouldn't slip off. What was left dangled down, hiding the girl's legs and feet from sight.

Chat wrapped his tail like belt around both Ladybug and the blanket, one hand supporting the mystery girl on his back.

"You can control that thing?" Alya asked in almost a hysteric screech, seeing the belt move of it's own accord.

"Hehe… more or less," he said before gripping his baton with his free hand.

Another beep sounded and Chat – groaning in pain – took off at a run before he extended the baton and flew away from the crowd.

A/N: Hello! I haven't posted a story in years and I promised myself if I ever did post another/new story that it would be completely written before I posted it. So... this story is completely written!
Look forward to a dozen chapters of Marinette and Adrien goodness! Pre-edited the story was 11,533 words and 30 pages long, post-editing the story is 14, 015 words and 34 pages long. The only thing that will determine posting is that I don't have internet at home.

This is a reveal story, because there are never too many reveals!

I've lost count of the number of reveal stories I've read on here, which then sent me to read Danny Phantom reveal stories and then the awesome Danny Phantom/Supernatural story crossovers. Normally I'm not a crossover fan but I enjoy those way too much!

Does posting this story mean hope for my other stories... I don't know... we will see.

And please feel free to leave a review! They keep me smiling!
