Taken

If Marinette had known how bad things were going to be for her that day, she would have stayed in bed.

The day had started out normal. Marinette was late for school, Alya was going on about her latest theories about Ladybug's identity, and Adrien still turned her into a stuttering mess whenever he so much as walked by her. Everything was normal. Everything was perfectly fine.

That is, until the Akuma alert when off around the city.

Miss. Bustier had tried to get everyone to remain calm, but everyone ran out of the room. All for different reasons. Alya and Nino because they were going to try and film as much of the attack as possible for the Ladyblog, Marinette and Adrien so they could find places to transform and everyone else so they could find places to hide from the impending Akuma villain wreaking havoc.

Ladybug and Cat Noir emerged and jumped onto the roof of the school.

"Good afternoon, m'lady." Cat Noir said with a smile. "Fancy seeing you here."

"No time for chit chat, Cat Noir." Ladybug said, grabbing her yoyo and swinging in the direction of the screams coming from the civilians. Cat Noir followed closely behind her and they landed on another rooftop.

"I am the Revealer!" The Akuma shouted. It was a woman wearing a black wedding dress, and Ladybug took a 'wild' guess that her akumatiztion had something to do with a wedding. Possibly even her own. "Secrets tear people apart! Everything would be so much better if we all put everything out in the open! What do you say, Paris? Let's spill the beans!"

"Hey, only I am allowed to make corny puns!" Cat Noir said with a slight pout, Ladybug turned to him.

"Oh, so you finally admit that they're corny?" She asked, and he quickly defended himself.

"Tha-that's not what I meant and you know it." He told her and she just chuckled at him.

"Let's go get her, kitty." She said, and Cat Noir nodded. They ran across the rooftops and watched as the Revealer hit people with blasts coming from a ring she was wearing. As soon as they were hit, they began telling every single secret they had ever kept. A lot of people began to cry as their significant others revealed that they were cheating. Ladybug felt her heart go out to them, but then refocused on the mission at hand.

"The Akuma's got to be in her ring." Ladybug told Cat Noir.

"How are we supposed to get it off of her?" He asked.

"Still trying to figure that out." She said as they leapt down in front of her.

"Game over, Revealer!" Cat Noir said. "You won't win. You may as well just hand over your Akuma now so we can all go home."

Revealer's face turned to a scowl and she grunted. "You want me, kitty cat? Come and get me!" She said and began to fly away, blasting civilians as she went.

Ladybug quickly wrapped her arm around Cat Noir's waist before swinging her yoyo, wrapping it around something sturdy and then pulling, swinging them both in the direction of Revealer.

"You sure are touchy today, m'lady." Chat said with a smirk, and Ladybug rolled her eyes as they landed on the roof of none other than her family's bakery.

"Less flirting, Chat." She said, taking her hands off of him. Ladybug dodged a blast from Revealer's ring as she realized she was being followed, and Ladybug had to shove Cat Noir out of the way of a blast as he was just staring at the bakery with some kind of look in his eyes.

"Cat Noir! Now is not the time to space out!" She hollered to him.

"Sorry, m'lady." He said, using his baton to dodge another blast. "But, I know the girl who lives here!"

"So do I!" She told him. "She's still at the school, I saw her."

"She's okay?" He asked, dodging another attack. Ladybug nodded.

"Yes, she's okay." Ladybug said, jumping over another blast aimed at her.

Cat Noir relaxed knowing that Marinette was safe, now he didn't have to worry as much and could fully put his head in the game.

Ladybug decided it was time to end this, and threw her yoyo up into the air.

"Lucky Charm!" She called out. In a burst of pink and white light, a pair of Ladybug print handcuffs fell into her hands.

"What am I supposed to do with these?" She asked herself, quietly. Suddenly, Cat Noir was tackling her and the handcuffs went flying from her hands and down into an alleyway.

"Chat!" She scolded him. "What was that for?!"

"You were so distracted with your Lucky Charm you didn't notice her going to blast you!" He said, rolling them out of the way when another blast came towards them. "I just saved you from revealing your secret identity, I think a 'thank you' is in order?"

He grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet.

"Thank you." She said sincerely. He nodded and gave her a quick smile.

"Anytime, m'lady." He said. "Now, go get that Lucky Charm of yours. I'll hold her off."

Ladybug nodded and jumped down into the alley, beginning the search for her Lucky Charm. Cat Noir turned back to face the Revealer only to see the outline of a butterfly form around her eyes. A wicked smile came across her face.

"Don't worry, Hawk Moth." She said. "I have a plan."

Revealer began flying downward, and Cat Noir grew confused. Until he saw the direction she was heading.

"Ladybug, look out!" He shouted.

Down in the alley, Ladybug had finally found the handcuffs when she hear Cat Noir shout. Her brows furrowed in confusion before her hands were suddenly drawn behind her back and the handcuffs clasped around her wrists. She gasped.

"Well, would you look at that? I've caught myself a Ladybug!" Revealer cackled. Ladybug struggled against her hold, and Cat Noir dropped down into the alley.

"Let her go!" He hollered, baton held at the ready.

Revealer tsk'd. "Naughty kitty." She said. "You need to say please."

Cat Noir was about to give her a witty comeback, but she began to rapid fire at him and he had to dodge the blasts that she aimed at him. She stopped firing, but when he looked back ready to attack, she and Ladybug were both gone.

"No." He said quietly, and he jumped back onto the roof of the bakery. He looked around, but didn't see them anywhere. He began to grow frantic. He jumped across rooftops in search of them, but it was if they had disappeared off the face of the earth. They were nowhere to be found.

Dammit.

Ladybug grunted as she was tossed into a dark basement lit by a single lightbulb. She felt somebody else grab her roughly and take the handcuffs off. As soon as they were off, she tried to get away, but their grip on her was firm and they didn't budge. She reached for her yoyo, but realized it wasn't at her hip. She was shoved against a wall and she felt chains go around her wrists and ankles.

"Looking for this?" A voice asked, her head snapped up and she saw a man waving her yoyo in front of her.

"Who are you?" She spat. The man chuckled darkly.

"I'm Electra." He said, setting her yoyo down on a table. He lifted his hand in front of her face and Ladybug watched as electricity cracked in his palm. Her eyed widened. Another Akuma villain? Since when was Hawk Moth able to Akumatize two people at once?

"Save it for later, sparky." Revealer said, coming down the basement stairs with a camera in her hand. "You'll need all the energy you can get for the show."

"Show?" Ladybug asked. "What are you talking about?"

Revealer set up the camera with an evil smile. "Why the 'Reveal Ladybug's Identity' show of course."

Ladybug's eye widened, and her earrings beeped loudly in her ear.

If she had known how bad things were going to be for her today...

She would have stayed in bed.

A/N: Okay, so the first couple chapters are going to be a little bit short, but the chapters will get longer. Don't worry. Hope you enjoy!
