A/N: While my other Miraculous story is being edited, I thought I'd throw together another. Initially I thought it would only be a short story, but it's becoming a bit longer than I expected. Hopefully you like it.

"Chat!"

He heard his name being called out, but he couldn't do anything about it. He lost control as the akumatized King Pin's hand passed over his shoulder. He thought 'not again' as the King Pin took control of Chat Noir's body. This time was different though. King Pin's control over him was completely physical. For some reason, Chat could still see everything that was happening. He knew exactly what was going on. He just couldn't control it.

That made it worse.

Everything seemed to move by at a crazy speed. Because he wasn't controlling himself, it was dizzying to try and watch as the cursed body of Chat Noir bounced off walls and tumbled on the ground. Inside, he felt like he was in a washing machine trying to look out the window. It was nauseating. He knew he'd been forced to attack Ladybug before, but actually seeing himself chasing after her was horrifying. Did she really have to remember him like this? He didn't understand how she could trust him. It felt like half the time he was taken over and made to be burden instead of help. Thankfully she was able to dodge his attacks well enough. She acted like it wasn't even a big deal to slide out of the way as Chat Noir's claws scratched out the air where she once was.

Chat cheered internally as he saw Ladybug snatch the patch off King Pin's shirt that contained the akuma. His gut wrenched as he heard himself shout the all too familiar "Cataclysm!", but Ladybug was already tossing the patch to the ground to crush it.

Chat watched in terror as his deadly hand swirling with black spots launched towards her. He'd never used Cataclysm on something alive before. He didn't dare. Cataclysm had the power to destroy anything.

Anything. Or anyone, he supposed.

Ladybug saw Chat Noir coming towards her and jumped back before she had a chance to stomp on the patch. Chat Noir's foot landed on the patch as he raced towards her; his hand still reached out towards her.

The patch ripped apart as his boot slipped on it. Chat regained his consciousness as he flung forward, and the small akuma glided up towards the sky. Ladybug caught sight of it and instantly grabbed for her yo-yo. She didn't notice that Chat Noir was unable to catch himself from tumbling straight into her.

His black spotted hand slammed right into her shoulder and they both fell to the ground. She gasped as she met his eyes. Once Chat realized what happened, he looked between his hand and her face. Her shoulder turned a faded brown and started to crumble.

"No," he said quietly. "No, no, no. Ladybug. I didn't mean to. It wasn't me. I didn't…."

"I know." She smiled at him weakly as her face paled and crumbled away.

"Ladybug!" Chat tried to hold onto her as she disintegrated and faded away in the dust. Her earrings clattered to the ground in front of him. "No! No! Ladybug!? Ladybug!"

"Huh?" The unakumatized balding man in a bowling shirt rubbed his head. "What happened? Why am I here?"

Chat didn't hear him. He didn't see the purple akuma flying off into the sky. He didn't notice when the police arrived at the scene. All he knew was that Ladybug was gone.

And he'd killed her.
