Adrien's POV:
I watched as the girl I love, Marinette, climbed through the window and took off without a word. My mind went haywire as I began to throw stuff around the hotel room, drowning myself in rage as I looked at the half opened window.
"I should have stopped her. I was being a duck head." I said to myself. Usually, I always try to stop Marinette because I always have the feeling that I've done something wrong, or there was a certain matter to tend to. I knew Marinette wasn't fragile, but after learning she was Ladybug, I knew she had a lot of pent up emotions.
I sat there in deep thought for about three minutes before I thought about leaving the hotel room door to find her. What could I say, I knew I was whipped.
Suddenly, a bright blue circle came into the room before a small portal like structure formed. I looked up before clutching onto my ring for safety. Was it an akumatized villain?
"Chat noir!" A tall familiar girl with reddish short hair stepped out from the weird vortex. Her weird costume resembled something of a miraculous as I looked her up and down, intrigued with the design.
"Who are you, and how do you know I'm Chat noir, and why do you look familiar?" I asked.
"Uhhh! There's not time to explain." She came up to me, grabbing me by the arm. "Come on, put your miraculous suit on, we don't have time to waste." She said, reminding me of a certain lady in red. I chuckled before shouting out the words to transform.
"Can you at least tell me the problem, I'm very confused." I said as she roughly gripped my arm again and brought me through the weird vortex. Immediately, I saw holes that were spurring with memories. ( A/N: I advice you watch Chat blanc if you need to!) "what is this place?" I asked.

"Doesn't matter, I need you to do your job, destroy the Akuma and-."
"Akuma, I do not see an Akuma." The girl in a blue bunny costume pointed to a certain hole before pushing me through. "What am I supposed to do?" I looked at the familiar surrounding before gasping. We were in Paris, surrounded by what seemed to be buildings set on fire, and a floating women who was covered in purple and gold.
I looked closer to the women before gasping, I could immediately tell who it was, Marinette, who seemed to be so powerful it was eye catching.
Was she akumatized.
I looked back towards the bunny girl who was no longer there, and then back to Marinette. "Marinette! Can you hear me?!" I yelled, trying to catch her attention. I looked around me, noticing how off and weird everything seemed to be. Was this even real. "M'Lady!" I yelled louder, somehow finally catching her attention.
She looked down at me, before tears bled from her eyes. She then slowly began to float down as she stared me in the face, seemingly confused. "A-Adrien?" Her voice was shaky, and had a deep undertone over it, like she was truly akumatized.
"Marinette, I-."
"But you died... I-You died. How are you-How are you Alive?" Her feet finally roaches the floor of the roof of the Eiffel Tower. She suddenly poked me, making me noticed how hard and cold her finger was. "Your not real, Adrien has died. There is no way." She yelled out before floating back up.
I watched her with awe before a certain ring caught my eye. How did she have the Cat Miraculous? And how did she still have her earrings on?!
It took a few seconds before everything clicked in my head, and I figured out what I needed to do. "M'Lady, what are you doing!?" I asked, shouting as I took out my stick.

"I'm going to make this world peaceful, no more wars, no more tragic deaths. Just peaceful..." she said.
"Your not thinking clearly M'Lady, you've been akumatized. I can help fix it."
"The only way I can stop is if I brought my love Alive! Chat noir... You could never understand the pain of losing the one thing I loved most in this world!" She yelled out, and I felt the aura around her strengthen.
"Your doing the wrong thing Chat noir! You need to calm her down!" I heard a voice say, sounding like the bunny girl from earlier.
"Marinette, I love you! You have to believe me, if you come down here we can fix this!"
"It was our love that did this to the world! And I'm not letting that go. You are just an image of my head!" She practically screamed.
"Marinette, Look at me!"
"I will make this world no longer heart, It'll be the one with that will make everything better. I can do it, no more liars, no more damage, no more akumas..." She began to mumble. "Adrien is dead, and this is the only way I can bring him back to life."
"Plagg-."
"No No!" My lungs felt like they were no burning with the amount of yelling we were doing. "Look, Look!" I yelled even louder. "Spots off." I then said softly, wanting the miraculous uniform to come off quickly. "Look, It's me M'Lady, I promise, I'm alive!"
Her blue bell eyes slowly looked down at me, pausing before she slowly began to float down. She was eerily quiet as she kept eye contact with me. "Adrien? Is that- Is that really you? You're really alive?" She asked, her voice soft.
"M'Lady, please tell me where the Akuma is?" I asked, wanting her to get closer to me, even if it meant the small childish poke that she gave me before.
"Why would I tell you that, Adrien?" She asked, slowly walking towards me. "Your-Your actually alive, but how?" Her voice was low, and I could hear the evident scratch, telling me that she had been crying, a lot.
"M'Lady, see, I'm alive and healthy." I commented, watching her feet get closer and closer.
She suddenly reached her hand out towards me while poking my face again, while I grabbed her by the waist pulling her into me. "Can you tell me where the Akuma is?" I asked.
I felt her head shake side to side, before she dipped it tight into my neck. "I messed up, I messed up so badly. I should have never left you in that Hotel room. I should have never tried to fight by myself."
"Marinette, please tell me where the Akuma is, I just want you to be safe."
She shook her head again. "If I tell you, how will I know that you'll still be here? How will I know that you won't leave me again." I could hear the tiredness spew from her words.
"You have to trust me, Princess."
