We need to talk

It was not supposed to ever happen. Not like this.
Another Akuma had been hot on Adrien Agreste’s tail, a girl who had been a fan of the model who had given in to the negative emotions. There were many reasons that it could have happened, none obvious to the pigtailed girl turned hero as she had merely been a guest for Adrien on his photoshoot. He had extended her the invitation before and each time he had, she always took him up on the offer.
Before either of them had known it, the victim was turned, encased in a blob of water, flooding the entire park.
Marinette shifted to Ladybug as soon as she found a small, safe nook to summon out Tikki with. Adrien was still in danger, and encroaching on him. Ladybug leapt into action, staving her off while shielding Adrien and telling him to run. She could hear him trodding off, blue eyes searching for the object inside the watery phantom. Within, she could see a clutched bottle and knew it was the object. The spotted hero needed her partner for the plan that slowly began to tick into place.
The fight was pushing Ladybug back, yo-yo spinning as water spouted at her, worry beginning to fill in her stomach as she began to glance around for Chat Noir. Her gaze caught an image in the alleyway, her soles digging into the ground as she tried to keep the attack at bay, but what she saw was something that allowed her guard to be let down. A scream escaped her lips as the water finally thrust her back, sending her flying back as her yo-yo ricocheted and recoiled back into her hand. For a moment, she was certain she was going to impact against something, wide eyes shutting tight.
The picture of Adrien, pressed up against the way, talking to something small and black beside him before he began thrusting his fist forward, a cry issuing out from him. The white shirt coating with something else, the application of a layer of black against his frame had been etched into her mind.
Adrien was Chat Noir.
