Chat Noir knew he couldn't compare to Ladybug. How could he compete with her? She was the bright ray of hope Paris needed. He was simply a shadow. She was creation and life, he was destruction and death. He knew Paris needed Ladybug so he protected her in every way he could. He could deal with anything as long as she was safe. He would die a thousand times over to keep it that way.

And as he lay on the pavement with blood pouring from a gaping wound in his chest he knew he'd made the right choice.

His vision began to blur and he saw an indistinct figure run up to him and place a gloved hand on his cheek.

"M-my lady?" Chat wheezed out

"Shhh Kitty," the figure said in a worried tone "You're going to be fine"

Chat could have sworn he saw tears rolling down her cheeks. He knew this was the end and by the look in his lady's eyes, she knew it too no matter how much she denied it. She had his hand in a death grip and was openly sobbing now. He wanted nothing more than to sit up and wipe the tears from her cheeks but he knew he couldn't.

"Did you get the akuma?" Chat whispered

"Only thanks to you," Ladybug gave a small broken laugh "why'd you do it Chat? That hit was meant for me" more tears began running down her face.

He looked her in her bright blue eyes filled with tears and whispered his last secret.

Then his transformation ran out of time. So did he.

When the police arrived they froze in shock. In a pool of blood sat the sobbing red clad hero clutching the dead body of Adrian Agreste.
