Chapter One: Trust But Verify
A/N: This fanfic is both my first crossover, and my first Arrow fanfic as well! Another thing to add is that since Liv doesn't watch Arrow, she didn't beta read this story. (This choice will haunt me in the future.) Meaning I never got a second opinion on this story...
Also, this takes place in Season 4 (I hate this season, but this was the only season I could have Laurel and the only season that wouldn't make me write OOC chapters. This also takes place before Eleven Fifty-Nine, hence the fact Laurel hadn't been uselessly killed.)
Reviews are always appreciated! (If you don't, then you have failed this fanfiction.)

"Run."
Chat Noir would follow his lady anywhere. But this, made him seriously reconsider his undying trust.
The two superheroes of Paris were taking a trip to America. Star City, to be specific. Master Fu needed some ingredients for a potion, and this run-down city apparently contained it.
Still not knowing each other's identity, the duo ran across rooftops, trying to spot the mystery herb. About to take a break, it was his cat senses that gave him enough time to reflect an arrow with his staff.
Soon enough, the Parisians were bombarded with red and green arrows.
Knowing they wouldn't be able to defend themselves for long, Ladybug & Chat Noir sprinted, trying to escape from the chaos.
Gunfire echoed in Chat's ears, as he never stopped running. After what felt like an eternity, the two stopped.
As she panted in exhaustion, Ladybug suddenly perked up.
"That sound…" she trailed off. "I can feel it more than I can hear it…"
Chat Noir turned to the side as he saw a blonde woman in black in a defensive stance.
Seconds later, he heard a shrill noise as he bent down in pain as he covered his ears.
The high-pitched squeal ringing in his ears, Chat squinted to see his lady also bent down in pain as nearby glass panes shattered into a million pieces.
Shaking from how loud the noise was, the last thing Chat felt was a needle being shot into his arm as he collapsed and faded away from consciousness.
"Exactly what are we supposed to do with them?"
Chat Noir couldn't move his muscles, his vision was extremely blurry, and his hearing was limited. Despite all this, he could faintly make out the conversation that was being held in front of him.
"Oliver, they look like teenagers! Meaning you knocked out and kidnapped two kids!" a female voice whisper-shouted.
"Felicity is searching through database after database looking to see exactly where these two come from." a calm, male voice responded.
"Well, Ollie, wherever they come from, covert doesn't seem to apply there." Another female chirped.
"As interesting as this conversation is, I'm pretty sure the cat boy is awake." A new deep, male voice pointed out.
Knowing he'd been caught, Chat Noir wearily tried to sit up on the metal bed he'd been placed on. Turning to the side, he noticed his lady had been placed next to him.
"Sorry about that, we only had one bed." A blonde girl with glasses apologized.
Looking at his hands, Chat took a sigh of relief knowing that he hadn't detransformed in front of complete strangers.
The black cat began to shake Ladybug, trying to wake her up.
"Chat…" the spotted heroine said, obviously exhausted.
"M'lady! Thank goodness you're awake!" He exclaimed in excitement. "Not to alarm you, but we're inside a stranger's base."
With that new revelation, Ladybug jolted up in surprise. Bug-eyed, she stared at the group of adults surrounding her, most of them wearing some type of leather suit.
"If it's any consolation," the blonde with glasses spoke. "We didn't see who you were- well we would've, but your mask for some reason didn't budge."
"Who are you?" Ladybug demanded, clearly angry.
The calm voice walked up to Ladybug, wearing green.
"My name is Oliver." He introduced.
"Thea, Ollie's sister." the woman in red smiled.
"Diggle." the man who bore a deep voice said.
"I'm Laurel." she responded, clearly the same person who had the shrill scream.
"And I'm Felicity." the blonde with glasses said. "I'm Oliver's… nevermind."
"Now that we've all introduced ourselves, who exactly are you?" Oliver asked.
"As much as we'd like to tell you-"
"Which we don't." Ladybug said firmly. "We are strictly not to tell anyone our identities."
"That's what she said." Chat quipped, pointing at Ladybug. "I mean, even we don't know who's behind the mask!"
"That doesn't make sense. Exactly how can you two work together if you don't even know who each other are?" Felicity asked.
"Yeah, don't you guys have any trust issues?" Laurel finished.
"It worked for you and Oliver when he was still The Hood." Diggle pointed out..
"That was different…" she mumbled, turning away.
"You don't have to reveal your true identities if you don't want to." Oliver said. "Just tell us as much as you want."
"I'm Ladybug, and this is Chat Noir." She introduced. "Where we come from, we're superheroes."
"We didn't mean to interfere with… whatever is going on here. We were on a mission-"
Ladybug quickly shushed him, as she turned to Oliver.
"We have superpowers, unlike most of you. And unlike you, we have something we need to-" Ladybug explained.
"Actually, I don't have superpowers. It's this sonic device that gives me the scream." Laurel corrected, tapping the device.
"Your accent is French." Oliver examined. "But you look to be of Chinese descent. But Chat Noir here seems like your typical French citizen."
"Hey!" Chat Noir shouted, clearly offended. "What do you mean by- wait, you're Chinese?"
Ladybug blushed.
"So are you guys a thing... or..?"
With that comment, Chat Noir heated up as he responded at the same time as his lady.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT."
"We could be, right Bugaboo?"
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Felicity cut through the awkwardness with a knife.
"Bingo!"
"What did you find?" Oliver asked, walking towards the computer monitor.
"Ladybug & Chat Noir: Paris' saviors. Apparently these two stop these people who were corrupted by, get this, butterflies. It seems like Parisians adore them. I mean, look at this Ladyblog thing!"
"It's a little more complicated than corrupted butterflies!" Ladybug defended.
"Find whatever you can to figure out their identities." Oliver whispered, making sure the duo didn't hear.
Felicity slightly nodded as she went back to work.
"LB, can I talk to you for a minute?"
Ladybug nodded as she and Chat Noir went to the other side of the bunker.
A/N: Now that that's done, I have to tell you that I have NO clue when I'm actually going to post it. So... you may be waiting for a couple weeks...
Anyways, reviews are always appreciated!
