Todayâs drabble was requested by @kellarhi for Max and Marinette. I can honestly say Iâve never written this pairing so here goes something! :D
âOkay, all of the safety protocols have now been overridden,â Maxâs voice came over the earpiece crisp and clear, accompanied by the clickety-clacking of his keyboard from where he was safely hidden in a hotel room down the street. âYou have approximately seventy-three seconds before the backup firewall is put into place and I have to reconfigure.â
âGot it.â Ladybug slipped into Gabriel Agresteâs office and stayed close to the wall as she moved. âLet me know if anyone in the house leaves their current spots.â
âGabriel is showing in the furthest left room on the top floor, Nathalie on the opposite end, and Adrien...â Maxâs voice dropped out and Ladybug reminded herself time was of the essence and kept pushing forward as she waited for her partner to come back online. There was the sound of furious typing and then Max spoke again. âAdrien isnât showing up anymore.âÂ
âWhat do you mean? Like he left the house?â
âThatâs one assumption. I can send Markov--â
âNo, Iâm to the safe now. Iâm sure Adrien just went out.â She tried to push away the worries of her friend sneaking out of the house in the wee hours of the morning but there would be time to think on that when she wasnât trying to beat the clock on a high tech security system.Â
âOkay, move nine degrees to the left and I should be able to pick up a signal from the relay I gave you.â
Ladybug guessed where nine degrees to the left was in front of the safe and waited, holding her breath.
âYou know, between the two of us, I think Iâm the one expected to be the cat burglar, Spots.â
She almost jumped out of her skin and turned her head slightly to see Chat Noir leaning against the far wall. âWhat are you doing here?â she hissed.
âWondering why youâre breaking into Gabriel Agresteâs safe,â he shrugged. âNeed help?â He raised his hand to show the black power already beginning to bubble at his fingertips.
âSorry, Kitty, this job requires a bit more finesse.â
There was a huff over her earpiece. âThe backup firewall is going to fall into place in fifteen seconds. Both of you need to move to the far left and stand approximately three body widths apart until I can take it down. Go now. Communication will be lost for an indefinite number of seconds.â
Ladybug nodded and hoped Max saw her over the security camera heâd hacked. âCome on, we need to move before the system comes back online.â
Chat Noir casually pushed away from the wall and easily moved into the spot he would be safe from the motion detectors as if he already knew exactly where it was. âSo who is the little voice in your ear helping you with this caper? I thought I was your main partner.â
âI can have different kinds of partners, you know.â She saw a teasing glint enter his eyes and immediately regretted her choice of words.
âAh, so this is a different kind of partner then.â He put too much emphasis oh the word âpartnerâ as he curled his tongue behind his teeth. âArenât you a blushing bug?â he teased.
Ladybug felt her cheeks heating up and turned her face toward the opposite wall in a failed attempt to hide her blush. âWe work together.â
âNo, you and I work together,â he argued as the hum of the backup generator began. âI donât make you blush like that. So who is the mystery man with the mic?â
âI canât tell you that! Itâs a secret for his safety.â
âAh,â he nodded. âDoes he know who you are?â
She sniffed and lifted her chin. âHe knows Iâm Ladybug.â
âEveryone knows youâre Ladybug.â He studied her profile. âYou really trust him though. You didnât even tell me about this job tonight and you tell me just about everything.â
âItâs not that I donât trust you, but he had certain skills that were necessary for tonight so I invited him to help.â
âSkills for stealing from Gabriel Agreste,â Chat Noir clarified.
âYes,â she replied stiffly.
âI see. So when are you going to make your move?â
She blinked and looked back over at him. âWhat? Iâm waiting to hear from--â
âCome on, Spots, not about the safe. You going to let him be your mystery mic man forever or what? Life is short.â
âYeah. but...â
âBut heâs hideous?â
âWhat?! No, heâs very...â She felt her blush return and ducked her head. âHeâs very handsome. And he wears these cute suspenders that...you know what? Iâm not doing this with you.â
âSuspenders. Very fetching.â
âStop it. Look, heâs crazy smart and creative and just...just amazing.â
âYouâve got it bad.â
âPlease let me die of embarrassment in peace, Chaton.â
Chat Noir chuckled quietly. âAll Iâm saying is donât miss your chance. Life is unpredictable for people like us. You have to take your joy where you can find it.â
âThanks, I...I really appreciate that.â
There was a crackling in her ear as Chat Noir nodded and then Maxâs clipped tone came through loud and clear. âYou are free to move about the room. Iâve taken the entire layout of it out of the programming.â
âYouâre a genius, Max,â Ladybug beamed as she moved back to the safe with Chat Noir smirking and on her heels. She realized sheâd let his name slip but she knew she could trust Chat Noir, even if the teasing might become unbearable.
âYour work is very important,â Max replied after a pause. âAnd I want to help in any way I can. This seemed to be the most efficient way to do so. Once youâre finished, Iâll rewrite the program and it will be as if you were never there.â
âEasy as that, huh?â

âEasy as that, huh?â
Max sat back and flexed his sore fingers as he felt his face and neck grow hot. âI didnât say easy, Ladybug, but I can do it. For you.â
He watched her reaction on the camera heâd taken control of and could swear she was wearing a blush to rival his.Â
What do the babies looks like? And the hybrids baby how does it work? Do they all come from eggs? Do baby bug shed from larva to adult? How does it work for bug hybrid? :0
Most of the fae are laid as eggs, but batfae are born live and stay clinging to their mother for most of their infancy. Birdfae have the least amount of eggs on average - 1-3, dragonfae can have up to 5 on average and bugfae can have the most at around 9 for spider, 7 for winged and 6 for armoured at the most.
orphaned batfae are placed in hammocks to mimic being held by a parent. Dragon and birdfae bond during hatching, so itâs better to find a carer before the egg hatches, if separated after the bonding or not cared for properly will lead to them being antisocial or easily angered and closed off.
Bugfae are the least likely to have bad impact in separation from the parents but can still have separation problems. Most winged bugfae eat a lot in the first 2 Month after hatching for Metamorphosis, theyâre the only fae that do this and not all of them go through it.
Pretty much all the basic stuff is shown on the picture above. Tho not all hybrids actually look like so, most just look after one of the parents.
(Actually it will poison him it just wonât kill him, bugs absorb the poison through their shells and joints so spraying it on him will make him sick)
Fae gang, out of the three of you who would win in a fight
Sheâs actually correct, willow could beat them both if she really wanted to, max would be a little tricky tho because of his shadow magic. But in a battle of minds max would win, Wilsonâs got brains but he doesnât have the manipulative mind that max has, so canât get out of the situations heâd put wil inÂ
Hello I was just wondering how tall are the fae gang? Also your art is really cool!
Wilbird: heâs already kinda short and the birdfae are the smallest fae so heâs child-sized (remember; heâs mostly fluff)Â
Willow: sheâs a small dragonfae cause didnât want to make the difference between wilbird and willow too big, and she needed to still be a fair bit smaller then Maxwell (dragonfae can be naturally as short as wilbird or as tall as Maxwell because theyâre a mix of all the species -mainly bat+bug)
Maxwell: heâs a big man, that and bugfae are largely a very big type, but itâs not uncommon to see small bugfae, now heâs only a head taller then wilbird in most cases but thatâs not his full hight, while standing straight heâs shoulders above Wilson as shown above.
