Paris. City of Love. And yet, he was alone. Chat Noir was on his usual patrol routine for few months already. His partner, his lady, needed to go on a trip to Italy so she can finally have a chance to practice designing in Milan. It was planned to last for a few days at most, but days turned into weeks, than weeks turned into months. And now here he is. All alone.

He patrolled for a few hours before deciding to settle down for a little bit. He picked up his baton and typed few buttons on the screen and called someone.

"Hello?" voice groaned on the other side.

"Good evening Princess" Chat said cheerfully and smiled at hearing her voice.

"Chat!" she jumped in her bed happy to hear him "Weren't you supposed to be sleeping right now?".

"I am. But you know how is it with us cats. We can never stay at one place for too long". Something pink flew past his head towards the baton.

"Marinette!" Tikki said cheerfully being happy to hear her owner.

"Hey Tikki" Marinette said and giggled at her kwami "You seem happy to hear me".

"Of course I am. I miss you" Tikki said and though to herself for a moment "Actually, we miss you. Ain't that right Chat?".

His cheeks warmed up for a moment before shaking it off "Tikki, zip it. Sorry. She is right. We miss you princess". And he was telling the truth. This few months without her were really hard but he managed.

"How are you doing Marinette?" he asked her "Anything new over there?".

"Not much if I'm being honest" Marinette answered after moment of silence "Sam says that we need a little more time and after that we are finished".

Chat sighted after hearing this. Marinette will soon be home.

"So you are actually coming home soon?" he asked her hopefully and smiled after hearing her chuckle on the other side.

"Yeah, finally. Week or two to be precise. And after that I'm coming". Even tho she tried to hide it, being separated from Chat and Tikki as her constant support was really hard so she tried to stay in contact with them as much as possible. At first Chat called her almost every night but they became less and less often and now he called her once or sometimes even twice a week "I can't wait".

"Me neither princess. Me neither".

There was few moments of silence between them before Marinette broke it.

"What about you Chat? How are you holding up?".

"I'm good I guess. Luna was peaceful for nearly a month now and that worries me a little. Others join me from time to time in patrols and we are trying to keep them as constant as possible but we still can't know when or where she is going to make her next move" Chat said and rubbed his eyes.

"And we were sure that after we defeat Hawk Moth everything would be normal" Marinette told him and sighted "I can't believe how wrong we were. Now we are up against even worse villains".

"But we will prevail at the end" Chat reassured her "We always do".

Marinette smiled at his confidence "Of course. Always".

They kept talking for few more minutes about their past adventures and both of them laughed. There was a lot of good memories that two of them shared together. Their first battle against Hawk Moth, them standing up to Chloe and Lila, being disobedient together and a lot more moments.

"Oh I almost forgot" Marinette told him suddenly "How is your family doing?".

"Well after everything that happened, it's actually going pretty good" Chat said and looked at the sky "Father is getting better at his job and he is actually getting better at being a father. We are actually having dinners together if you can believe it".

"Really?" Marinette was surprised "That's awesome. And to remember how cold he was before".

"Yeah I know. Well, none of us expected to be here but hey, it's better than nothing. Of course, he needs to do more to redeem himself for what he did but we are going in right direction".

"That's really good to hear Chat. I'm happy because of you".

"Thank you princess" he smiled at that "That means a lot to me". He kept looking at the sky and he heard soft yawn on the other side "You sound pretty tired Marinette. You should really go to sleep. You need to work tomorrow".

"What about you? I don't want to go without knowing you are going to get some sleep as well Chat. It wouldn't be fair".

"Don't worry about me Marinette, I'm getting on my way home right now" he heard her yawn again "Sweet dreams my lady".

"You too, my prince" she said sleepy and ended the call.

Chat returned his baton to his place and turned his head to look at Tikki "Can you believe it Tikki? Marinette will soon be home". His eyes sparkled with joy and somehow his joy affected Tikki as well. She rolled in the air humming happily.

"I know! I can't wait!" she floated towards Chat and hugged his cheek "I missed her so much! Oh and not to talk about her macarons". She turned in the air again.

Chat chuckled at her and pointed his claw at her "Hey, my macarons are pretty nice too". He received little smile from her.

"Yeah, they are" she floated in front of him "But Marinette's are still better".

"Oh is that so?" he asked her with a smile and grabbed her from the air and started tickling her. Tikki began laughing and that lasted until both of them couldn't take it anymore.

Chat was laying on his back still laughing from few moments earlier. Tikki was laying on his head and she was laughing as well.

"Well- Well" he tried to say between giggles "We should probably get going home". He got up on his feet and sighted deeply "That was really fun".

Tikki giggled and nodded in return. She floated towards him and landed on his hair "So are we going?".

He nodded but before he could launch himself of the roof two tinny voices stopped him "Chat Noir! Chat Noir!".

Chat turned around and saw two purple kwamis floating towards him.

"Nooro? Dutsuu?" he looked between the two "What are you doing here? Is everything okay?".

"Master- Master" Nooro tried to say while trying to catch her breath "Master sent us to find you. Bunnix came over and told us to find you right now. We don't know what it was but-".

"But it sounded like it was really really urgent" Dutsuu finished for her "It was so scary".

"If Bunnix is looking for me it means something is really wrong" Chat concluded "Come on. Let's go".

10 minutes later Chat was at his father's house. He jumped through the window of his previous room. Once he was inside he went to his father's office and walked towards the picture of his mother. He pressed few buttons and platform began going down inside the secret chamber. Nooro and Dutsuu were by his side while Tikki was still laying on his head. While the platform was going down he looked out of the glass and saw his father, Nathalie and Bunnix on the main platform and it looked like they were really worried.

"Something is really wrong" he whispered and kwamis looked at him. His lack of optimism made them feel uneasy.

As soon as elevator touched the platform Chat rushed outside and ran towards the main platform. Gabriel turned around and saw his son running towards them.

"Oh thank god Adrien" he said and hugged him as soon as he got to them "I'm glad you could make it here".

"What's wrong father? What was so urgent?".

"I will allow Bunnix to explain situation to you. I need to get Emilie here while two of you discussing plans of action" Gabriel said and walked towards the elevator.

"So Bunnix-" Chat began but Bunnix interrupted him.

"Situation is very critical Chat" she said as she started pacing around "It's Marinette, she is in big trouble".

"Marinette?" he asked confused "But that's impossible. I talked to her few minutes ago. There is no way that she-".

"I'm not talking about Marinette from our time Chat" Bunnix made a short pause "I'm talking about Marinette from the past. She got akumatized Chat".

That had him stunned "But- But how? That didn't happened. Never".

"I- I know" Bunnix stuttered for a second before continuing "Something happened in the past that changed the path of the timeline and now it did happen".

Chat though about something for a moment and he remembered something "Just like when Chat Blanc became a thing". He remembered that thing because Marinette talked to him about that. Big fight that she had with his akumatized counterpart.

Bunnix nodded "Just like Chat Blanc". She went quiet for a few moments and then broke the silence "We need to do the same thing that me and Ladybug did the first time. We are going to the past. But unlike the first time you will need allies to fight besides you".

"Unfortunately" Nathalie joined in "None of our allies are available at the moment. Rena Rouge and Carapace are on the honeymoon, Viperion went to Russia with Jaged Stone, King Monkey went to Antartica to try to swim in the sea near it, Pegasus went to England with his mother and I couldn't get in contact with Ryoko at the moment. Oh and Queen Bee is also unavailable".

"So it's just me and Bunnix than" Chat concluded but Bunnix shook her head.

"That won't be enough Chat. You have no idea how powerful Princess Justice really is. She is maybe even stronger than Chat Blanc. We need all the help we can get".

"But who could we ask than?" he asked her.

"Well, we are still here" female voice said behind him and made him jump in surprise. And there she was. Emilie, his mother.

"She is right Adrien" Gabriel said "We can help you. You know that we are here for you".

"I'm not sure" Chat said and though about it for a moment "Look, it's not like I don't trust you but I don't think it would be a pleasant thing to see their superhero working together with supervillain from their time".

"But we probably don't have any other choice Adrien" Tikki said and floated off his head and next to his face "I'm not sure neither, but if there is no other choice- I'm willing to take this risk".

Chat though about that. If they make a mistake all of this could backfire at them and could cause a same scenario that happened on Hero's day. But also if they don't stop Princess Justice all of their world could be destroyed. Or even worse. Both of the options were pretty bad but he needed to choose. And fast.

'Oh poor Chat Noir, there is nothing worse than having to choose between two evils' Luna said that when she appeared for the first time. Now he understood what she meant.

Decision was made.

"Okay" Chat said simply "We have a group".

They exchanged looks and nodded to each other.

Chat reached for his backpack and pulled out two miraculouses. Butterfly and Peacock ones.

"Gabriel Agreste, I'm giving you the miraculous of the butterfly. You will put it to the good use and after the mission is done you will return it to me". Gabriel nodded and picked up his Miraculous.

"Nooro, dark wings rise!" he said the command and he transformed into Hawk Moth.

"Nathalie Sancoeur, I'm giving you the miraculous of the peacock. You will put it to the good use and after mission is done you will return it to me". Nathalie nodded and picked up her miraculous.

"Dutsuu, spread my feathers!" she said the command and transformed into Mayura.

Chat than looked at his mother and reached for his earring and handed them to her.

"Emilie Agreste, I'm giving you the miraculous of ladybug.You will put it to the good use and after the mission is done you will return it to me". Emilie nodded and picked up the miraculous.

"Tikki, spots on!" she gave the command and transformed into Ladybug.

Chat looked at his team and sighted "Okay well, since planning is not a thing that I'm best in we will need to make a simple plan at first. Step one, we secure my younger self and prevent him from loosing his miraculous. Step two, we free Marinette from Hawk Moth's claws. Step three, we get back". Others looked at him confused without saying anything. "What? I told you I'm not so good at this" Chat said and crossed his arms.

Hawk Moth sighted and walked towards his son and placed his hand on his shoulder "Well, it's better than nothing".

Chat sighted and walked towards Bunnix "Okay, I think we are ready. Open the portal". Bunnix nodded and did as she was told.

"Okay let's go" she said as she walked inside the portal with others right behind her.

So much happened in this chapter. Emilie being awake, Gabriel and Nathalie having a change of heart. I guess we will see how this new group will handle the situation in the past. Bug out.
