Can anyone tell me what the reaction mechanism is for Methylene Blue + Ascorbic Acid (reducing agent)?

Question

I know that when "Methylene Blue" and "Ascorbic Acid" react they produce "Leucomethylene Blue" and "Dehydroascorbic Acid". I have proposed a possible mechanism but I'm not sure it its correct or even makes sense. Would love someone to verify this for me.

You might want to look at the following site to see if your mechanism conforms to existing information.
