"So," Plagg continued, in between Camembert-filled burps, "that's how I ended up here, before he could notice or remember to put on the ring the moment he got akumatized."

"Wait wait wait- this is going too fast. So let me get this straight. Chat Noir takes off his ring for a shower, when he comes out he tries out a new watch, and before you know it the akuma enters the watch, which is when you made your escape through his window?"

"That's about right."

Marinette pushed her chair back and spun it around a few times, massaging the bridge of her nose as she took in the information. Pushing questions about the real identity of Chat Noir to the back of her mind, and ignoring thought like 'This would be easier if I knew his true identity'. She squinted at the miraculous ring on her hand and sighed, "Tikki, what do I do?"

"You need to find him, Marinette! Find him and save him before he does more damage!"

"I know, Tikki, but how? And where do I even start? Plagg said this happened in the morning, and now it's past 9, and there is absolutely no sign of him!" She sighed, "Let's go on patrol, Tikki. We might spot something unusual. Without Chat's night vision though, I don't know how successful we might be."

She suddenly threw a sharp look at Plagg, "how are you out of your miraculous?"

Plagg didn't even look at her over his cheese, "If your human wanted you to disappear, you would disappear. Didn't Tikki tell you anything?" he said with a very Chat Noir-esque smirk.

"Hey!" Tikki pouted, "Only your humans wanted you to disappear!"

Marinette separated the two kwamis with a smile, "Alright you two, this is how two kwamis who haven't seen each other in centuries are supposed to behave! Plagg, why don't you take some rest, while we scour the area? Here's some more cheese," she crooned, tucking him into a small woolen sock.

Plagg sighed contentedly while he watched Marinette transform into Ladybug and bound out of her attic entrance, A human that doesn't complain about the smell of the cheese I like? Now this is a first. Maybe I should stick with this one. I'll never let Adrien live this down.

But how much ever Plagg tried to get comfortable, he couldn't. He knew it wasn't the cheese, or the room. It was Adrien. He missed his chosen one. I hope they find him soon.
