He felt his heart seize.
Across from him, one of his best friends wore a look of panic on her face. He felt terrible for putting her in this awkward situation. Why had he come?
Marinette was always so kind. Seeking her listening ear seemed like a good idea earlier. Even his intrusion in the middle of the night didn’t keep her from hearing out his problems (though he had given her quite a scare—it’s not every night a superhero drops through your skylight, onto your bed). Now, however, he regretted opening his mouth.
“What do you mean you’re going to stop being Chat Noir?”
The tightness in her voice matched the tightness in his chest.
“Ladybug doesn’t need me. She has better heroes now–" Marinette tried to protest but he continued in a rush, “Rena Rouge and Carapace are super-cool and capable, and she CHOSE them to work with her. I know she’s tired of me. She’s already told me off twice, saying she was interested in someone else. Well, actually, she’s rejected me many times… Not that that should matter, not that I mat–”
He couldn’t finish. His long-held back emotions finally boiled their way up, making hot tears spill down his face. He tried to tame the brief moment of vulnerability, hastily brushing the back of his hand over his eyes and apologizing to the girl sitting in front of him.
The next thing he knew, he was being embraced.
Marinette whispered, “You can cry… It’s ok–okay to cry…” The warmth of her words and of her hug sent a wave of reassurance through him. The tension in his shoulders eased as he thought about how selfless his friend was, holding and consoling a boy she barely knew. Her comforting voice continued,
“Ladybug loves you. She’s got to. You’re friends, right? Don’t you have friends that you love?”
Friends that he loves? Of course he did. One was holding him right now, but he could hardly say that. He wasn’t Adrien at the moment. He took a steadying breath and pulled back from her embrace.
“You’re right.” He wiped one more tear away before flashing her a meek smile. “You’re right. Ladybug did say that she saw me as more than just a partner…”
“Then trust her.”
Marinette’s words felt solid. Confident. Like he couldn’t deny them. He quietly replied, “I do… with my life.” His eyes flicked to his friend’s face. Was– was she blushing? It must be the light. Right? Regardless, he’d better let her get back to sleep. Didn’t they have a test tomorrow? He placed a hand on her shoulder. “Thank you, Marinette. For lending your ears to this silly chaton.”
She nodded, eyes focused on him. Her reply was cautious and quiet, “Anytime.”
He leaned forward, kissed her cheek, and grinned, “Be careful what you promise, Princess.” He crawled through the skylight, giving her flustered face one more glance, before he made his way home, feeling lighter than he’d felt in a long time. He’d remain Chat Noir for as long as he had friends who believed in him.

(For admin) Since you have the theory on Adrien's 'new power up', what would you assume LBs would be? (P.S your art is fucking beautiful and makes me cry)

Admin: I’m so glad you enjoy my art! Thank you! (my art blog is in the description if you wanna follow -winks-)
Now, to answer your question, I’m going to have to touch on several things. First, the Black Storm concept is actually in the Miraculous Ladybug art book, which has early concepts as well as outlined instruction for the models of the characters (this is common with most animated shows or franchises such as How to Train Your Dragon). Its actually really interesting to see the progression from 2D to 3D animation concepts.
Unfortunately, as much as I would LOVE to have it (because I want to be a concept artist), I can’t seem to find it anywhere… But I did find a YouTube video which features a person flipping through the pages.
As we can see here, Ladybug uses her yoyo in a way that mimics a variety of different weapons, not just as a grappling hook or shield. It seems as if the yoyo can split apart, allowing for her to create a staff out of energy and what looks like a sword or saber (probably since its labeled Bug Saber). She can also throw the yoyo like a grenade and set off a small bomb. I don’t actually think this is the case however. Ladybug’s powers are not centered around destruction, but creation. I think that the Bug Bomb acts as a smoke bomb as opposed to a grenade. (maybe it says that? I can’t read Korean…)
ADDITIONALLY:
Chat Noir can also use an ability called “Black Hole” that looks like it comes straight out of a Looney Tunes episode and I would give just about anything to see him use it. We have seen Chat destroy the ground beneath an opponent (Gorizilla) or as a way for him and LB to escape (Mayura), so that could be foreshadowing that he eventually learns how to channel and control just how much destruction he exerts.
These two things (Black Hole and Bug Bombs acting as a smoke bomb) would seem to be a much more sneaky way of defeating enemies. Is it possible HawkMoth will get more cunning or that CN and LB will start fighting more crime than just akumas? Who knows?
Whew!!! That was a lot. But I’m DEFINITELY looking forward to how they are going to expand and strengthen the powers.
Thanks for the ask!
