I want a fic where Marinette gets kidnapped because it’s believed she knows Ladybug’s identity
Some bad guys (not Hawkmoth but normal people) find out Marinette has a connection to Ladybug (like they see Ladybug always heads to her house and they hear talking so they think it’s them) and they kidnap Mari to get info on Ladybug. Mari drops her purse so Tikki isn’t there with her (maybe she knows it’s happening and gives Tikki the earrings too). Tikki tells Chat that Mari was kidnapped and Ladybug can’t get there for her or something (maybe LB on vaca and left miraculous idk but LB can’t be there) so Chat hunts down Mari in a place (warehouse or underground thing) but he can’t get passed the survalnce room (the place with all the cameras). Either he does this himself or maybe he gets Ayla to hack in the system because he may have broken some stuff. And on the screens they see Mari getting either interrogated or tortured (i prefer tortured but I like angsty fics) and she’s not revealing anything bout LB and the footage days later is of her just screaming “i’m Ladybug” and the captures going “nice try we know you’re lying” “i am Ladybug” and Ayla’s crying. Chat convinces Ayla to just skip to today cuz she shouldn’t see this and the footage dated a few hours ago is of her escaping. She’s kicking and punching and manages to flip one guy and she gets into the hallway running around lost till she runs into some more and she’s scared she never thought she’d get this far and she HURTS, which she’s not used to bc suit AND Chat’s the fighter, and she’s gotta fight more people who are bigger than her and she starts running again. She’s either surrounded or cornered and she’s trying to slip out cuz she’s small but one gets her and she’s back to kicking. Ayla’s still crying, and maybe Chat, and you hear her whisper through the sobs “come on girl you can do it”. Mari manages to elbow one in the stomach and knee another but she’s still got like three more to get through. One’s gotta knife (most of them have guns but no ones pulled them yet cuz they want her alive). Mari is bleeding and hurt and scared and maybe they’ve water boarded her so her lungs are messed up and can’t run anywhere. She’s fought magically corrupt people but she’s had weapon and armor and a partner and guidance but now she’s defenseless and she does the only logical thing she can, she grabs one of the people’s gun before they can get on their feet again. Ayla and Chat are freaking out now because MARINETTE HAS A GUN and if she wants to live SHE’S GOTTA USE IT (Idk how it is in France with guns laws and stuff but I’m so desensitized from tv shows and real life here in the US so I’d be routing for her to shoot but these kids strike me as “not even in a worse case scenario kill” so they’re like about to have a seizure or something). Mari is shaking so the bad guys don’t think she’s gonna shoot so one walks forward and she squeezes her eyes shut and pulls the trigger. The safety is on. The bad guys are laughing now and by the time she gets it off knife guy grabs it and it goes off. Into his foot. He’s screaming now and as he goes down another shot rings out and hits one person in the knee. About one guy left now and they’ve pulled out their gun and is trying to call for backup. She gets him in the arm but the gun kicks back and she breaks her nose (if it wasn’t already). The person she elbowed is back up again and she hits them with the gun. The person she kneed comes up behind her and has one arm around her chest and arms and another on her mouth. She bites them and then elbows them. As soon as she’s free she starts running again. As she turns a corner someone gazes her and also gets a bullet or two IN her but with adrenaline pumping she doesn’t notice. She breaks a window and runs out. The cameras lose her. That was 20 min ago so Chat and Ayla head that direction in hopes of finding her before the bad guys do. Chat can smell the blood before it starts to leave a trail and they follow it. They find her passed out from blood loss. Ayla runs to her and she’s crying again. Chat has to pull her off because she’s close to becoming hysterical and making the situation worse. He’s shaking but manages to confirm she’s alive and picks her up. They rush her to the hospital, bad guys go to jail, but LB stays on the down low just in case (thats what Chat thinks). LB is back in action two weeks later and Marinette in school on crutches five days after that.
