Later
Day Twenty-Seven: Sidekick
“Of course I’ll be here to save the day,” Scarlet Lady says, tossing her hair behind her back dramatically. “I have to clean up after my mangy sidekick, after all.”
Sidekick, huh?
Chat Noir huffs, ring beeping loudly. He’ll deal with this later.
With this in mind, he hops away, searching for a place to detransform.
~~~~~
Later doesn’t come quickly. No, later is pushed off. Battle after battle, Chat Noir is stuck alone, fighting battles meant for two. He fights and is forgotten, fights to save Paris, only for Scarlet Lady to be adored. He fights and hurts and gets battered and bruised, and only one person even recognizes how much he works to keep Paris from becoming a chaotic mess.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng. From the very first fight, she’s been on the sidelines, cheering him on. Sure, she has a penchant for getting in the way of battles, but Adrien knows it’s because she’s truly a hero. She stands up for what’s right, she doesn’t let her lack of powers keep her from fighting against evil.
She’s the Ladybug Chat wishes he could have. Someone he could call a partner. But no, instead he gets Scarlet Lady.
Yet exhaustion feels okay when Adrien walks into class and sees her smile. The weight on his shoulders seems a little more bearable whenever she offers him coffee or a croissant, or just insults Scarlet Lady.
Yeah, later can be pushed off, because Marinette will wait beside him.
~~~~~
Chat Noir is used to being called a sidekick. For months, he’s dealt with battles alone, taken all of the pain and suffering alone, saved the day and been tossed aside alone. He’s exhausted, he’s beaten down and he doesn’t know how to get back up.
But just as he thinks the world can’t get better, it does. Because Marigold steps out of the shadows, and she protects him. She holds out a hand to help him. Together, they beat the Akuma. Together, they save the day. And the workload lessens. The struggle of every battle diminishes when it’s doled out between two heroes.
Finally, later comes. It’s after a pretty easy Akuma battle (or is he just getting better at working with Marigold?) and neither Chat nor Marigold used their powers. The reporters come, just like usual, and Chat doesn’t run.
But as he sees them coming, he notices something else. The victim, a young boy, maybe nine, sitting on the floor, looking sad and scared.
Chat pushes later away, going to comfort the kid. Marigold follows suit.
“Are you okay?” Chat asks, kneeling down. “You seemed rather upset, did something happen?”
The boy sniffles. “I, I failed a math test. My mom is gonna ground me for sure, and then my friends aren’t gonna talk to me because I can’t play games and I’ll be lonely and, and-”
“Hey,” Marigold coos, pulling the boy into a loose hug. “It’ll be alright. Your friends will understand, and I’m sure your mom will, too. Everyone has bad days, you know?”
“Even you?” He looks up at her with shock, and Marigold giggles. It sounds like bells to Chat.
“Even me. Here, I’ll even let you in on a little secret, but you can’t tell anyone, okay?” When the boy nods, Marigold whispers conspiratorially. “I’m awful at physics.”
“Really?!” He gasps, as if the idea is astounding.
“Really. But my parents understand, because I’m getting tutored. I have the sweetest friend, and he’s a genius. He teaches me about physics, and I’m doing better. Do you have a friend who’s good at math?”
The boy nods. “Alice! She’s really smart.”
“Maybe you could ask her for advice, then!” She grins. “And if not, I’m sure you could ask your parents for help.”
Chat nods with Marigold, then adds, “And if they won’t teach you, come hunt me down. I’m have you know I’m the purrfect math teacher!”
The boy giggles. “Thank you!”
“Of course. Now, little guy, do you need help getting home? I can give you a lift,” Chat offers, and the boy lights up.
“Yeah!”
So Chat leaves later behind, leaping away with the boy on his back. And, a short conversation later, little Thomas is hugging his parents, who promise to help him with math.
~~~~~
Later passes without Chat noticing. Time after time, he chooses comforting the victim over calling out Scarlet. Because that’s why he’s a hero. It’s not for recognition, it’s to help people. That’s why Marigold, too, has risen from wherever she was to fight by his side. It’s not about proving that he’s a partner, not a sidekick, because only he and Marigold need to know that.
But it’s this approach that causes later to spark. It’s this decision that proves the truth for all of Paris.
It sneaks up on him. Never one for checking the news, he doesn’t see the exponentially increasing number of articles on him and Marigold, doesn’t see the shift in public opinion, doesn’t know how he and Marigold become favored over the once beloved spotted ‘heroine.’
Then he goes to school, and hears something that shocks him.
“You’re changing the name of the Scarblog?” Marinette asks Alya, right as Adrien enters the room.
Alya nods, glaring at her phone as she types rapidly. “Yeah. It’s about time. Scarlet Lady is awful, I can’t believe I didn’t notice earlier!”
Adrien can’t believe it. Finally, someone noticed other than Marinette! Finally, someone else understands. It feels like Christmas, it feels like-
“Yeah, she sucks,” Alix adds in.
Forget Christmas, Adrien is in heaven!
Quickly, all of his class is chiming in, insults thrown at the girl who only knows how to care about herself. Marinette seems just as ecstatic over the words being spoken, agreeing vehemently.
Then Chloé walks in, just as Kim shouts, “The only heroes we need are Chat Noir and Marigold!”
Adrien hears his old friend before he even sees her.
“What did you just say?!” She shouts, and Adrien jumps.
“If you must know, Chloé,” Max starts, adjusting his glasses, “we’ve noticed the trends of the battles. Statistically speaking, the chance of Scarlet Lady actually contributing to the battle and fighting the Akuma is zero point zero zero zero zero zero zero one perecent. There has been one battle where Scarlet Lady was said to have taken initiative, and that was during Copycat. According to Marinette, who was the only witness present, Scarlet Lady did not even act until Marinette mentioned that there would be two Chat Noirs present, with one of them adoring Scarlet Lady.”
Chloé scoffs. “As if Dupain-Cheng is a reliable source.”
“She is, actually, our most reliable source, having been involved in almost every single Akuma attack. But if her alibi for the Copycat attack is unusable, as nobody else can attest to it, other than Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady, then Scarlet Lady has never been useful, except for her Miraculous Cure.”
Rose gasps. “Marinette, you could’ve been Scarlet Lady! You would be an amazing hero!”
Chloé turns her glare on the petite blonde. “Dupain-Cheng could never be as great as Scarlet Lady! She’s too clumsy and foolish to be a hero.”
Adrien glares at Chloé. “Marinette is greater than Scarlet Lady could ever be, if she could manage to get her head out of her ass! Marinette does everything she can to help the heroes, she puts herself in danger to keep others safe. She already is a hero, which is more than I can say for Scarlet.”
“Guys, I-” Marinette tries to cut in, but Chloé interrupts.
“If it wasn’t for Scarlet, you’d all be surrounded by that stupid sidekick’s messes! The city would be in ruins! I don’t see Marigold fixing that.”
Adrien freezes, and he sees how Marinette stiffens behind him. Because nobody uses that tone when referring to him as a sidekick, no one except Scarlet Lady.
He cringes, remembering every single time Scarlet tried to claim his civilian identity was her boyfriend. Now it makes sense. Gross.
Marinette, behind him, becomes enraged. “You know what, Chloé?!” She shouts, stomping forwards. “Chat Noir is the greatest hero that will ever live, and you should feel blessed to know that he protects everyone! He puts his life on the line so that we can be safe, and he fought alone for months because his partner was too busy putting on lipstick! We never deserved Chat Noir, but god damn do we need him if we’re stuck with someone like Scarlet as our only other option.”
“And Marigold has more talent in one strand of hair than Scarlet has in her whole body!” Adrien shouts. “She should’ve become Scarlet Lady, not the incompetent idiot who put on the mask! In fact, I doubt Scarlet was meant to be the hero. I bet she got the Miraculous by taking it from the rightful owner!”
From the way Chloé winces, Adrien knows that he’s right. Chloé stole the Miraculous, but who would she have…oh mon Dieu.
She stole from Marinette, didn’t she? Marinette, the girl who is a real hero. The girl who is creative and brave and puts her life on the line to protect others. Marinette, the girl who always supported Chat Noir, the girl who always knew how awful Scarlet Lady is.
Adrien feels enraged by the love of his life. He wants to reach out and snatch the earrings from Chloé, wants to hand them to Marinette because she’s their rightful owner-
But he can’t. At least, not right now.
Sitting down for class as the bell rings, Adrien has never been more excited for an Akuma to attack. He can’t wait for later to come again.
~~~~~
Luckily for him, an Akuma attacks that night. Even more luckily, the Akuma holds nothing but hatred in her heart for Scarlet Lady. She calls Scarlet incompetent, a sorry excuse of a hero. She despises the girl, and wants to take the earrings so she can be a hero instead.
Chat Noir doesn’t intervene. He slips into the shadows, catching Marigold before she reaches the fight. He moves to whisper what he has learned of Scarlet, but Marigold speaks first.
“She’s in my class,” Marigold whispers angrily. “I hate her.”
Chat blinks at the information. Marigold is in Chloé’s class…
“Marinette?” He whispers, and she blanches.
“I, uh-” She sighs. “God damnit. How did that give it away?”
“Because I’m in her class,” Chat admits, and watches Marigold blush as she understands, “and I just realized it today.”
“It was the sidekick comment, wasn’t it?” She asks, and Chat nods. “So what’s the plan, partner?”
“We sit back and let her fight.” He does as he says, leaning against the chimney of the rooftop. “And when Scarlet Lass defeats Scarlet Lady, we swoop in.”
“I like the sound of this.” She smirks, and so does Chat.
The fight doesn’t last more than a minute. Scarlet Lady, panicking, calls for her Lucky Charm, but has no idea how to use it. She screams at Chat and Marigold, demands that they help her. They smile.
“Go off, Scarlet Lass!” Marigold cheers. “Show her what’s for!”
Scarlet Lass seems confused, then smiles sadistically. “As you wish, my future teammates!”
The earrings are off of Chloé Bourgeois in seconds. And then the heroes of Paris, the real heroes of Paris, leap into action.
“Venom!” Marigold shouts, and stuns Scarlet Lass.
“Thank you!” Chat says sweetly, taking the earrings from the Akuma.
Chloé huffs. “Good job, now give me my earrings so I can save the day.” She doesn’t expect to look up and be met by two glares.
“No.” Chat toys with the earrings, eyes still locked onto hers. “I don’t think I will.”
Chloé gasps. “What do you mean, ‘no?’ Those are mine, you stupid sidekick, return them at once!”
Marigold hums. “Now here’s the thing, Bourgeois. Your identity is compromised. Even if you were a good superhero, which you weren’t, we couldn’t let you continue. Because now Hawky knows your identity, so he could take the earrings at any time. So, no. Your reign of terror is over.”
She huffs. “Oh yeah? Well, good luck saving the day! You can’t fix damage without me.”
“No, we can’t fix damage without a Ladybug,” Chat corrects her, then turns to Marigold. “So, Marigold, I think it’s time we swap your yellow for red.”
Marigold’s eyes widen for a second, and then she nods. “I think you’re right, partner.” She pins the earrings to her ears, and Tikki appears before them. “Hey, Tikki, right? I need your help to save the day, if that’s alright?”
Tikki looks close to tears, nodding frantically. “Of course, Marigold! My transformation phrase is ‘spots on.’”
Marigold smiles. “Alright! Tikki, spots on! Pollen, buzz off!” A flash of pink and yellow covers Chat’s partner, and when it dies down, she’s changed. Gone is the yellow and black, now Marigold wears red and black. The spots resemble Scarlet’s, but she keeps the more sensible aspects of her Bee ensemble (cough no heels cough) on her person. Spinning her new yoyo, she says, “Let’s finish this, kitty.”
“Got it!” Chat breaks Scarlet Lass’s Akumatized object, a charm of Scarlet Lady, and the Akuma flies out. Marigold catches it immediately, then purifies it.
Once the damage has been fixed, Marigold turns to Chat. “Pound it!” She cries, just as she usually does. Then she asks, “Want to go get ice cream?”
Chat Noir blushes. “Of course, Marigo-”
“Ladybug,” she corrects, sweet and simple. “Let’s go with Ladybug.”
“Alright, Ladybug, let’s go have some ice cream. Think Andre is still around at this time of night?”
“I’m sure he’ll make an exception for a new hero!” Ladybug jokes, and the two leap away, leaving Chloé behind with a still-angry ex fan, who relishes the chance to insult the ‘hero’.
Yes, later feels wonderful.

Potentially stupid question here, but why hasn't Master Fu or Chat tried to take back the Ladybug Miraculous from Scar?
Fu doesn’t know who Scarlet Lady is and she is technically fulfilling her role. Fu also doesn’t know how Scarlet got the earrings, for all he knows Marinette could’ve handed them over, so even if he took them away he wouldn’t be 100% sure he could give them back to Marinette.
Chat Noir doesn’t know the origins of the Miraculous or where they came from or who gave them out. As of now, he’s committed to the job and is so duty bound to pick up the slack that he doesn’t even have the brain power or energy left to think about reclaiming the Ladybug Miraculous from Scarlet.
These perspectives will change over time.

so since adrien has a crush on marinette in your comic, but the umbrella scene never happened so she doesnt really have the same crush back, does she have a crush on chat for saving her? or that he’s hard working and earnest in his heroism (especially compared to Scar)? or are you not going full crush swap?
Well for one, there was an umbrella scene, it just hit a different target:
And for two, Marinette’s feelings are very conflicted:
Both boys defended her, both boys are very sweet to her. So she starts off with a very lowkey crush, kind of like when you think someone in your friend group is cute but you’re not sure if you even want to do something about those feelings.
When her feelings become more serious I will have her address it outside of these asks, but right now the boys are kind of even in how much time and attention they’re getting with Marinette.
Adrien got Stormy Weather and The Bubbler while Chat Noir is going to get a lot out of Copycat and Mr. Pigeon, so they’re pretty neck and neck with each other. It’ll still be a while before her crush blooms into full love and you better believe it’ll be very confusing for her.

a problem with little in the way of resolution
A/n: HELP @zoe-oneesama
IVE BEEN SUCKED INTO the Scarlet Lady au and here’s a small thing I wanted to give to you. Thank you for this wonderful idea
—
Plagg gives a long, weary sigh, tucked away in the folds of Adrien’s shirt.
Adrien can’t help but echo the same sentiment, his steps equal parts careful and tired as he follows Plagg’s instructions.
“Why do I always have to be the responsible one?” Plagg whines, his tiny claws digging ineffectually into Adrien’s side.
“Really? You’re the responsible one? I can only imagine what Scarlet Lady’s kwami is like.”
“No. No. That’s exactly the problem! Her kwami is usually the one that deals with stuff like this. Tikki always was the responsible one.”
Adrien stops for a bit to glance at the petulant little god in his shirt. A sense of mourning horror crawls down his spine as he thinks of the implications.
“Is Scarlet Lady really that much of a…a…”
“Self-centered egomaniac?” Plagg offers.
“No…umm…”
“A deep, dark black hole that sucks up whatever attention is in the room?”
“No but that’s not wro-“
“An absolute nightmare of a jacka-“
“NO! I mean yes to all of those, but is she really so irresponsible?”
Plagg blinks up at Adrien, long and slow. Adrien squirms a bit, and looks away in embarrassment.
“Look, kid. I’m glad you’re trying to look for the best in people, but Scarlet Lady is testing the limits and you’re beginning to look like an idiot the longer you try with her.”
“I know…I get it…I’m just so tired Plagg. I can’t imagine having to take on more of this work if she doesn’t step up.”
“I know…but if you gave her that book, what do you think she’d do with it?”
Adrien pauses, his face paling in horror. “Probably sell it to buy a diamond encrusted yo-yo.” He says, patting his bag just to make sure the book is still there. “You’re right. We have to get this to that mysterious master you keep talking about.”
——
She looks at Pollen for all of one second before she screams and ducks behind the trash dump.
“HOLY SHIT! ITS A BUG MOUSE.”
“Hello, My Queen.”
“THE BUG MOUSE TALKS.” Marinette yells from behind the dumpster, crouching closer to the wall to avoid a puddle of mystery liquid pooling near her foot.
“I’m a kwami, your Majesty and I am at your service.” Pollen continues, bemusedly watching her new wielder from over the edge of the bin.
Marinette seems to take a moment, before standing up a little to peer up at the floating, glowing being.
“What…what do you want with me?”
“To give you power to accomplish your desires, My Queen.”
“But I’m not a…a queen.”
Pollen merely smiles beatifically, and that seems to be enough to coax Marinette from her hiding spot. She watches as the girl picks up the discarded hair comb.
“A Kwami…huh…are you lost?” Marinette asks kindly, getting over her initial fears quickly now that Pollen has kept a polite distance.
“I’m yours.”
Marinette doesn’t have quite enough time to understand the implications before the sounds of an Akuma attack ring in the distance.
Somehow, something in her bones calls to her. It’s the same something that makes her run to help her classmates when there’s not much she can do every time an Akuma attacks. It’s the same something that causes her to grab the nearest blunt object and use that to fend off anything from hypnotized people to pigeons.
Its the same something that makes her slip the haircomb on and the something pushes against her lips and spills out as-
“Pollen, Buzz on!”
———
She is the reprieve that Chat Noir has so long wished for. She is the yellow of sunshine and the gilded sweetness of honey, encouragements and cleverness wrapped up in one daring heroine.
Marigold is the answer to his exhaustion and he’s so blessed to have her in his life. (Just as blessed as when sweetheart Marinette brings him coffee and pastries.)
He finds that patrols have become less frustrating, more productive when Marigold buzzes by his side. They’re nearly two halves of a whole.
She fills in his blind spots that had long been left empty by Scarlet Lady. He can breathe easier when he knows there’s two stingers watching his back, and an equally sharp mind helping him come up with plans.
She’s been a blessing…but there’s trouble in paradise when she gathers up all her latent courage and tells him that she loves him.
She’s looking at him now with wide (pretty) blue eyes and small teeth biting her (pretty) lip.
And god, he would totally reciprocate if he hadn’t already been in love with Marinette.
“I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…Marigold…you’re great. Wonderful and such an amazing partner…but I love someone else.”
She turns her head away too slow. He catches the tears welling up in her eyes, but by the time he gets close she’s plastered on the biggest, most awkward smile ever.
“It’s okay…I totally understand. I just wanted to let you know. No regrets right? I’m glad I got to tell you. You’re amazing too. Thank you…for being so kind, Chat.” She rattles, so afraid to give him a moment more.
And he wants to say more, but then she says she has to go before she destransforms.
His sharp ears hadn’t heard any beeping, but he won’t take away her reprieve. He cares about her too much to be cruel.
—-
“…Marinette…I’m flattered, honestly, that you would trust me with something like this…but wouldn’t you prefer to talk to Alya?” Adrien squirms, uncomfortable and flustered on this bench. His shoulder is pressed right up against hers as they both partake in Andre’s love ice cream.
He watches her topmost scoop, lime green, melt down the side of her cone. She doesn’t seem to mind it, instead fixing her gaze on the shifting sunset colors in La Seine.
“Alya…I’ll tell her soon. I just thought…I wanted an objective point of view on this whole thing. And you seemed the best person to ask.”
“I see.”
“I’m sorry if this is making you…ah uncomfortable.”
“No!” Adrien turns to her, placing his free hand on her shoulder to let her know that she shouldn’t feel bad at all. “Don’t apologize. It’s totally fine.”
He’s…She’s one of his best friends…she’s the girl he likes…he’s glad to be her confidant. Even if it means talking to her about the guy she likes who isn’t him.
She’s moved her gaze to his face, (pretty) blue eyes wide and earnest as her (gorgeous) smile becomes gentle.
“Thank you…for being so kind, Adrien.” She tells him.
He feels the heat rush from her skin and up through his arm. It crawls up his spine pleasantly as it curls under his cheeks and he pulls away and scratches the back of his head.
“It’s uh…nothing. You’re my friend. Of course I’d be glad to listen to you.” He prattles on. “And I think any guy would be an idiot not to fall for you. So this guy…he’s missing out…but I can’t entirely place the blame on him. People like who they like, and sometimes it’s a matter of just being the wrong time.”
Marinette giggles, a bit haltingly, but it’s joyous nonetheless. “I think that’s partly what Alya would say.”
“But?” Adrien prods, sensing more words on the tip of her tongue.
“He likes someone else. You’re right. It’s not that I’m
not enough. And i couldn’t change anything about myself. It’s just a matter of wrong person and wrong time.” She shrugs.
Her smile quirks up into something lovely. (She’s always lovely, but with golden hour cresting in her dark hair, she’s almost too much for him. She’s almost too much as she talks about a boy who seems too much to be real.)
The quiet stretches between them, dripping like her ice cream down into the concrete.
“Are you not gonna eat your uh…cone?” Adrien asks worriedly as the top scoop slides precariously to the side.
“Oh…” Marinette notices, and quickly licks a bit off the side. She flashes a grateful grin at him, and he laughs a bit as he unthinkingly grabs a tissue and wipes away some green ice cream still on the corner of her mouth.
He freezes. Marinette doesn’t seem to notice, instead thanking him sheepishly.
“Uh heh…no problem.” He tells her, and tries to hide his flushed face in the light of the orange sun.
But there is a problem. He’s so in love with Marinette and she’s pining for a guy so perfect, he can’t even begin to measure up in his own mind. It’s a case of wrong time…and it will always be the wrong time for him to woo Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Except…maybe…Chat Noir…maybe he might have a better chance. Adrien decides that his ice cream tastes sweeter at that possibility.

This one is gonna be hard How would you envision Chloe redemption in your au with requirement that she stays ladybug and eventually should become a decent at the role of hero
Wow. Wow wow wow. That’s a hard one.
Maybe when Marigold starts getting the admiration, Chloe has a different reaction. She’s not jealous and furious, she’s jealous and …sad. She realizes how empty the praise was. How easy it was for someone to take it from her, when someone puts real EFFORT into being a hero.
So, she shows up at more fights, but she’s awful. She just sucks. She gets in the way, but when Chat Noir and Marigold go to tell her off, she apologizes. She’s genuinely upset by how apparently useless she is.
And of course they’re floored. Scarlet NEVER apologizes. So they talk it out. She reveals how she’s been so wrapped up in being a hero her civilian life is falling apart. She lost her best friend. Her childhood friend wants nothing to do with her. She has NO ONE to talk to anymore.
So Chat Noir suggests, maybe they patrol together. Maybe they do sparring matches. Maybe they help her figure out what to do with her Lucky Charm.
And Marigold suggests she reach out to her friends. That she apologizes to them. It’s hard, she knows, to admit that you’re wrong, and they may not forgive you, but it’ll be better than not knowing, than doing nothing. And people tend to respond to someone who makes an effort.
They tell her it’s going to be slow. It’s going to be hard. Nothing is just going to change over night. But if she wants to change then they’ll help her out.
And she finally realizes she doesn’t have to do this by herself.

I figure Tikki is the one who comes up with the lucky charm item and i think she’d find a creative way to ‘remove’ scarlet lady from action
( The writing is small but scarlet says “Ugg whats the point of having sidekicks if they dont do anything! Whatever, LUCKY CHARM”)
