Chapter Text
Marinette smiled as she clung to Chat Noir's arm, trying to walk normally. She's been walking better recently, but she still needs his support to walk on solid ground. They made it to the local pub, Marinette ordering water, and Chat Noir ordered a beer. Chat Noir tried to hide in plain sight, so no hat, or anything pirate related.The two smiled at each other, holding hands under the table before whispers caught their attention.
“Did you hear? The famous pirate, Captain Jagged Stone, has gone missing!” a woman exclaimed.
“And I heard, Captain Chat Noir is dating a mermaid! AND they're looking for her father, who's human! Can you believe that!!” The other woman stated.
The two ladies walked out of the bar. Marinette squeezed Chat’s hand. “Wasn't the captain your mentor??” Marinette asked her boyfriend.
“Y-yea. Jagged was so cool! He taught me how to be kind to women, and mean to other ruthless pirates.” Chat explained.
“What do you think happened to him?” Marinette asked, concerned.
“I'm not quite sure. We haven't really been in contact…” Chat Noir stated.
The bartender walked over to them. “Adrien by chance?” The bartender questioned, looking at Chat.
“Who's asking?” He questioned back.
“This was left for you.” He stated, setting a sealed envelope in front of Chat Noir, than walked back to the bar.
Chat turned the envelope over, going wide eyed.
“There are only a few people who know my real name, you, and the crew of Villain, Captain Jagged’s ship. This is from him…” Chat explained as he opened the envelope and read the letter quietly.
“Dear Adrien,
Been a while, kid. Hope you're doing well. Heard you got yourself a girl, and a mermaid no less. Good job kid. You treat her well. Oh, Penny says hey. Anyways, it seems that the king of Paris wants my head. He's been send his ships to fight me. So, I’m going to lay low for a bit. Maybe me and Penny can start a family… heh, can you imagine little versions of me running around?? That'd be something. Don't worry, Fang’s going to be closeby. Anyways, by the time you get this, I may already be rumored to have gone missing. Don't fret. I'll leave another letter somewhere else for ya. Do me proud kid.
Sincerely,
Jagged Stone” Chat Noir smiled.
“So he’s hiding from the king?” Marinette questioned, whispering to him.
“Yep. Turns out we need to cut this date short. If King André is after him, he'll come after us too.” Chat Noir explained, placing his pay on the table.
He stuck the letter and envelope in his coat pocket and picked up Marinette. He then ran out of the bar with her in his arms. Chat ran towards the Ladybug. Get Marinette up the ladder before he got up himself. Rena blinked, stopping what she was doing to walk over to Chat and Marinette.
“What happened?” she asked the two.
“We need everyone back here. King André is hunting down Jagged, which means he's going to be hunting anyone that's close to him. We need to go stay low for a while, maybe go to Spain and stay low for a bit.” He explained, setting Marinette down on top of a barrel.
Rena nodded. “I know exactly where everyone went, I'll go tell everyone to come back.” she stated, quickly moving around her clothes, looking completely different.
She slid down the ladder and ran down the dock.
“Are we going to be ok?” Marinette asked, nervous.
“We’ll be alright. I promise.” Chat stated, smiling at her.
