A short commission about a Miraculous Ladybug season 1 adventure going a bit off the rails.

Weirder things have happened.

The Copycat gets the Ladybug
Miraculous Ladybug commission

During the events of “Copycat”

“If you don’t believe I’m the real Cat Noir, just ask him about our love!” The Cat Noir, the real one, beneath Ladybug said with a smirk.

Ladybug blinked in confusion. Telling the difference between Cat Noir and his fake was harder than she expected. “Okay…” The spotted superhero leaned in close to the other Cat Noir. “You didn’t tell him anything, right?”

“Umm?” Copycat leaned back, looking nervous.

“You know? About our “little secret”?” She asked, not quite as confident as she could have been. (Her acting was so poor, the real Cat Noir rolled his eyes.)

After a few seconds, Copycat finally spoke. “Uh, what secret?” He said a tone partly confused and partly sarcastic.

Ladybug sighed. “Well now I’m completely confused.”

Cat Noir groaned in annoyance. “Oh for the love of-just leave this to me!” His hand glowed. “Cataclysm!”

“Look out my lady!” Seizing his opportunity, Copycat grabbed Ladybug and held her tight as he jumped away from Cat Noir. “See? The fake intended to attack us!”

“I did not!” Cat Noir shot back as he used his attack on the chain. “Milady, please, just because you have no poker face is no reason to disbelieve me!”

Ladybug fumed. “What’s that supposed to mean?” She realized that Copycat was still holding her tight “And let me go! Maybe I should just kick both your butts just in case!”

Cat Noir opened his mouth to retort, before sighing. “This isn't going to work. Just leave the Copycat to me!” He pulled out his baton. “I’ll have this faker beat before my time runs out!”

“No way a fake can beat the original!” Copycat held up his own baton with a wicked smirk. “Just wait right there and watch me work, milady!”

Ladybug looked between the two. This was tough, they were both cat eared idiots filled with bravado. How was she going to tell the difference? She really didn’t have much choice but to let the pair cat fight.

Well, tomcat fight.

The two fought evenly for a few seconds before a beeping on his ring made Cat Noir look away for a second. “An opening!” Copycat thrust an extending baton at his foe.

Knocked through a wall, Cat Noir landed with an annoyed growl. “I need to recharge.” He muttered, dashing away. “Sorry, Milady. Don’t fall for his tricks.” He bound away.

“He’s escaping!” Ladybug jumped out of the hole. “Could he really be the fake?”

“Either way, we should pursue him!” Copycat hopped out after her. He snuck a quick kiss on her cheek. “Follow me!”

“What did I tell you about acting like that!” Ladybug fumed, blushing despite her words. She followed after Copycat.

Copycat had won this round (in more ways than one). Would Ladybug figure out Copycat before he took her Miraculous? Would they catch Cat Noir before he turned back to Adrien? Only time would tell…
