SOLO 3

Previously on Miraculous: Solo!: Marinette holds guilt in hiding her alter-ego, resulting in feeling more isolated than ever, and it takes some deep reflection on the akuma battle zone to realize that she is not alone as she thinks she is. What is Hawkmoth saying to the akuma? Will Chat ever financially emotionally recover from what his class president decides to do next??

Wordcount: 2017 [masterpost]

Marinette’s heart stopped when the gust of wind wielding icicles that was hurled at her hit not herself, but Chat Noir who had jumped in front of her to take the blow.

He was more than ready for when Solo would make a move, but the wind was strong and some shards still managed to escape his baton and the superhero eventually keeled over, the relentless wind once again sending him flying.

“Chat?!" The ice kept Marinette in place but that didn't stop her from stretching her right arm forward to reach the fallen hero. "Chat Noir are you okay? No wait, can you get up??” Oh minou, Marinette thought, heart crestfallen.

Groaning in pain and exhaustion, Chat Noir was surprised to feel a gentle touch. “Y-Yeah, I’m fine. It’s fine.” He sniffled loudly and groaned again, still waiting for the next blow to come. “This is just all in a day’s work haha. I can already hear the helicopters coming, we’ll get you to some place safe soon too.”

Seeing Chat Noir in this state, after holding up all by himself for this long, it made Marinette’s chest squeeze tightly. What she would give to transform into Ladybug right now safely and fix everything for him to be alright. For a moment, she remembered when she got him out of the walk-in fridge which nearly frightened her to death if she were to be honest.

Of course she wasn’t alone. Her dear chaton was doing such a good job.

“I’m doing what?”

.........

Did she say that out loud–

“You’re– You’re a h e m doing something off, is what I said.” Nice save Marinette. Hopefully. Wait– Why was her Marinette vision high lighting Chat Noir and the akuma? “It’s probably because you’re too cold! Yeah,,,, Justtakethisscarfandputiton.” Her vision also suddenly lit up the scarf she held up a few seconds later.

“Wait I’m–” With no time to protest, Chat Noir was bundled up snug with a green scarf around him and all he could do was surrender.

Don’t move don’t move don’t mOVE–

He remained silent but he could hear his heartbeat pounding in his ears as loud as the howling wind before. Not that he was already ABSOLUTELY SCREAMING IN HIS HEAD RIGHT NOW. Even with the current weather, Adrien failed to keep his own rising temperature down.

Remember when he mentioned that Marinette was a school celebrity? There was no exaggeration in saying so, none. Though he didn’t say it much as he’d like, just as Marinette she looked up to him, he looked up to her too.

What she was doing to him now, Marinette was reassuring him right in the middle of an akuma attack, speaking softly and letting her hands reach towards him with warmth. Him, a superhero. Chat Noir is supposed to be the one comforting and reassuring those around him but one person decided that they were worth sparing some comfort when he was supposed to be brave.

And that alone was putting him on the highest cloud nine.

Chat could not help but chuckle in the midst of the battle as Marinette did her best to manage with one hand while muttering to herself how superheroes did not deserve to be cold.

“Akuma or no akuma, you need to take care of yourself and if you’re just gonna go on and forget to then you’ll just have to deal with people who will, so stop thinking you’re so indestructible p l e a s e. I-I’ve seen you on the news, y’know–” The pigtailed girl said with a little huff.

“Pfft alright, I’m making a mental note as we speak and pinning it onto my mental bulletin board. Will that reassure you?” Chat Noir felt the corners of his mouth twitch up, almost forgetting the danger looming close by, the danger who also just so happened to finish dealing the with helicopters. Not that he had forgotten about Solo- His heart was just busy pounding about something else at the moment,,,

“Act quickly Solo! Chat Noir is distracted, his miraculous will be easy to take!”

The akuma nodded at the command, turning to find the superhero. She then stopped short. In the distance, kneeling on the ground was an injured Chat Noir and a trapped Marinette looking at each other, quietly chatting.

“The police sirens are near, what are you waiting for??”

Suddenly, Solo’s arms went limp as she continued to observe despite Hawkmoth’s growing distress. Her eyes stayed on the green scarf and the whirling wind around her began to die down. Hawkmoth’s voice was getting louder as did the sirens but nothing could make Solo tear her eyes away from the two teenagers.

For once, an emotion took hold of her. Taking one hand, she put it on her chest and gripped her suit.

“Hawkmoth," She spoke barely above a whisper now before pausing. "You promised me anything I wanted.”

The akuma’s sudden voice made both Marinette and Chat’s head turn rapidly towards its direction, their eye’s widening in surprise.

“Then why am I still alone?”

Crystal clear tears began to form, silently and soundlessly dripping down from two blue eyes. Everyone began to prepare for the worst. News reporters and police officers watched on in great interest. Cameras zoomed in on the akuma's face, broadcasting the tear-stricken face in high definition.

The akuma, Solo, seemed to have gained some type of awareness as she looked around at the destruction and chaos she had caused in shock. Her pupils shook in terror and fear at the sight of the prisoners she held captive in Hawkmoth’s name, all with the power he gave her, and at the surrounding new station cameras and police forces. Marinette and Chat Noir readied themselves when Solo’s eyes found them again.

But she wasn’t really looking at them, she was looking at the scarf that Chat not so long ago received from Marinette.

“Solo, I’m giving you one last chance, you are running out of time–”

The akuma opened her mouth, at first nothing came out, but then the two teenagers began to pick up a small voice.

“I–"

"What are you doing?!"

"–wanted my mother to come pick me up from school... for her to bring a scarf and tie it around me like the other mothers did too.”

Chat Noir slightly lowered his baton.

“I also wished for my father to come home early more, I kept dinner warm for him every night if he did return.”

Marinette, too, loosened her grip on Chat.

“I hoped for friends, even though I would always move away from them soon.” No longer able to hold her head up to look at anybody, Solo buried her face into her hands, refusing to face any watching eyes as she revealed her last confession. “And it was not that I was not loved,” her voice cracked. “Just not loved enough.”

“Cease your needless rambling or I will take away ALL your POWERS. Ladybug hasn’t shown up and you’re not any nearer towards your goal! Get their MIRACULOUSES.”

The akuma’s hands then quickly grabbed the side of her head, whimpering as a migraine washed over its victims brain for Hawkmoth to regain control, not able to hold in anymore sobs. “I don’t– I don’t want to be alone–!”

“It’s already too late for you, don’t you think so, Solo?”

“It’s... It's too... late?”

“It’s not!”

Both Chat and Marinette looked at each other in surprise, having simultaneously shouted the same answer. Marinette continued first though, looking into the akuma’s eyes to find anything left of who they really were underneath. “It’s not too late. Don’t you dare listen to him! You said we went to the same school right? I want to be your friend!”

Chat immediately followed up. “Not sure if it’s entirely safe to be friends with a superhero but if you’re ever in trouble and don’t know who to call, the Chat Noir and Ladybug hotline is always available.” The words came out a little more seriously than Adrien had anticipated. Partially, he thought, was because he was unaware of the severity of the akuma victim’s home life and personal life. But he prayed in his heart it was nothing close to his own, despite the fact that he could heavily relate to Solo’s soul-crushing loneliness and from the looks of it, Marinette understood it too.

The two waited in anticipation, watching Solo squeeze her eyes shut and opening them to let more tears fall. She was at a loss and her head spun, different voices telling her to make different choices. Which was the right one?

“I am giving you one last chance, Solo, or watch your frozen heart be shattered. Get. Me. Th–”

“I can’t.”

“Why NOT.”

Solo slowly gazed up at the two teenagers, the frigid air around her disappearing along with her resolve to side with this villain. “Though my heart be frozen, I still have one, and it says that no one deserves to be alone.” Instantly, the akuma raised her hands and the ice prisons lowered to the ground and shattered into a trillion pieces, its fine glitter-like imitation catching the sunlight.

And that’s when the second migraine came back with a vendetta and the akuma screamed. Police started rushing towards her once they saw an opening.

“Quick! Chat, the akumatized object is her gloves!” Marinette shouted frantically, her side already becoming numb to the point of making her dizzy.

Chat Noir wasted no time. “On it!” He said as he sped forward, sliding on the ice past the remaining snow minions and ahead of the police officers. “CATACLYSM.” And with a single touch of his claws, the gloves disintegrated into nothingness and out flew a dark purple butterfly. “Okay, this part I have n o t rehearsed with Ladybug.”

He’s r i g h t, Marinette thought as the color drained from her face. That’s when a small red blur zipped past her and back all within a blink of an eye.

“Oh. It got eaten– by a bird?” A puzzled look crossed Chat Noir’s masked face who was still looking for the akuma butterfly for some reason.

“Haha yeah– niceblowtorchmamanbutihavetogonowthanksILEFTTHEOVENONTHISWHOLETIME–” And with that Marinette rushed back into the bakery as quick as she had ran out of it earlier, her one boot still stuck and left in the ice once the girl decided as long as she escaped with her clothes, it was all fine.

“Oh.” Sabine looked from where her daughter had ran to and then to Chat Noir. “Would you like to keep the scarf?” She smiled curiously at the boy.

“I-I’ll return it later, thanks,,,” Chat Noir scratched the back of his neck then felt his ring beep. Right on time, as usual. Before he shot away with his baton, looked back to Solo who should be in her civilian self now and walked over to her.

Like with every akumatized victim, she had a vague to absolutely nonexistent recollection of what had happened. But even so, the girl turned away in shame when she saw someone approach her. “I’m sorry for being the cause of this. I gave into Hawkmoth and let him destroy the city again....” The superhero could see tears threaten to roll down again.

Chat knelt down, his ring beeping once more. “Hey, it’s not on you. Hawkmoth was using you and you did well fighting him back as well.” It took a moment for the girl to register what Chat Noir had said but when she finally did, he was already gone. At that same moment, a Miraculous Ladybug cure was also cast, meaning Ladybug was finally present and all well thankfully, but she’d be the one to deal with the loud interviewers much to the superhero’s annoyance.

As Ladybug also heard the beeping on her own earrings over the clamoring crowd of reporters, she took a glance at the girl sitting alone in the police van with a blanket resting on her hunched up shoulders.

She was going to have to do something about that.
