A/N: And I'm back. Left you on a cliffhanger for like twenty-four hours if that. Anyway, here's the summary because it was too long for the 380 character limit. Go!

…

Summary: Zoe's back, with a whole new set of shenanigans. But this time, the stakes are higher while living on breaking glass with Gabriel knowing her secret and doing everything he can to get rid of her permanently; as well as figuring out her blossoming friendship with Eli, who may be more than he seems. While this happens, she's trying to learn as much as she can about the mysterious 'psychic', Evelyn Autumn, and the new superheroine who works alongside them.

Meanwhile, Eden Carpenter has been brought to Miraculous by Hawk Moth, planning to turn the two sisters against each other, but this plan fails horribly, leaving Eden in hiding, not allowed to reveal herself to her constantly accompanied sister. Her only companions being the irritatingly cryptic Master Fu and her secret kwami, Roaar, she does everything she can to help her sister. But one can only hide a secret like that for so long.

Chapter 1: Eden

To say Eden was insanely done with life was a severe understatement. Understatement of the century! She was fourteen years old, and this meant she was stuck with babysitting.

After the police told her parents that Zoe was likely dead, or wouldn't be found, they had gotten into a huge fight, leading to a divorce—because her father found out about just how much her mother didn't like Zoe, and the abuse, refusing to even mourn her. Her mother got full custody, and she just happened to be hooking up with the judge not long after, which was highly suspect. She hadn't even heard from her Dad in years, other than birthday gifts that she found in the dumpster.

Not long after the separation, her mother turned out to be pregnant. Eden was only 23% sure the kid was her father's even though she would have gotten pregnant during their marriage. It was a girl, named Joselyn, and she might had possibly been the embodiment of evil.

She didn't have Carpenter eyes—blues and turquoise, with Eden's having more green in it, creating a seafoam green color—she looked like her mother in every way, from her golden blonde hair to her coal black eyes. She acted like her mother too—shrieking, manipulative, bitchy piece of shit. She had been reluctant to believe her mother was as cruel as Zoe had said, but now that she was oldest and was had been forced to skip a couple grades, so she would be special; which required little to no free time, all of it taken up by tutors. She had also repeatedly heard her mother scream at Zoe "I wish I aborted you when I had the chance!" And only recently did she know what that meant, because she had thought for a long time that she was saying 'abroad' like to study overseas. Joselyn was just as awful, always threatening with false accusation and acting like a spoiled brat, and she was only two years old!

That was where the aforementioned 23% came from. Every Carpenter in this generation—including her cousins—qualified for MENSA, meaning they had an IQ in the 98th percentile or higher. The thing had made Zoe and Eden different, were that they only had a select few ways to harness it. Zoe was a brilliant tactician when she wanted to be and would be the winner in a game of survival of the fittest, because she was able to figure out extremely advanced combat; she also stored pop-culture references in her brain, and was able to use people's words against them. Eden was perceptive and was able to get a feel for a person just by observing them, and this was assisted by her sight being enhanced upon her natural loss of hearing; her other talent was logic, something Zoe often lacked, being able to see every reasonable outcome of an action in a grand scale. Yin and Yang in a sense, even though they were both reckless as hell at times and longed for an adventure.

Joselyn seemed to pick up everything around her, and even mimic her elders for her own agenda, even understanding disturbing shit like the Holocaust within minutes of having it told.

Zoe: Warrior. Eden: Observer, maybe spy. Joselyn: World's meanest genius.

And to make matters worse, they had moved to Arizona. Fuck Arizona. A Seattle girl doesn't like the heat! At least it wasn't Australia, where everything that wasn't you wanted to kill you; and god damn spider rain. Hell no.

At least Eden had learned to survive like this. She was nowhere near as talented as her sister at bullshitting her way through life and planning out days in advance to get food, but it was enough to survive until she could emancipate herself at sixteen.

If she needed Zoe anytime though, it was now. Zoe had been her best friend and dearest companion through her young life, her protector and mentor in a world where civilization could collapse at any given moment, they had been nearly inseparable…until she was gone. She had had no idea how good she had it until her sister wasn't there anymore.

For a couple months after finally getting herself to watch Miraculous Ladybug again after that weird ass nightmare, she had theorized over the phone with Sam that the mystery writer had taken her, but that idea had grown completely ludicrous, there was no reasonable way. She was back to square one, starting to come to terms with the idea her sister was gone forever and wasn't coming back.

Right now, she was sitting on the couch in their small house on some land in the middle of the rural section of scorching Arizona, reading a book; Joselyn was playing with her stuffed armadillo quietly—for the first time since the little brat was born.

Joselyn suddenly got up and crossed her arms, "I want candy!"

"Too bad. We don't have any candy, and I'm too young to drive if we even had a car." She muttered wryly, bookmarking her page, as she knew the book would be torn to shreds if she kept it open, "Ask Mother when she gets home from her date."

"Mommy said no." Joselyn complained, "I know you have some smarties, so give them to me or I'll tell Mommy you smoke."

Okay, why was this child so awful, and how did she even know what smoking was? And why would she think it remotely plausible for Eden to smoke when she got nauseous around a campfire? Quite frankly, if someone came and killed this kid, the usually sweet and gentle, horrified by anything getting hurt, Eden Carpenter would thank them.

"Look." Eden brought herself down to the kid's eye level, "I do not have candy, and it's not my fault mother doesn't let you have them. Getting me in trouble for something I don't do will not help you, it will only hurt you when you grow up." She clenched her teeth together as Joselyn threw a tantrum.

When someone made Zoe mad, it was either an uncontrollably rage or a killing calm. Eden wished she had learned the killing calm, but she got stuck with a shrieking rage—not a tantrum, more a grand release of emotion that could go off at any time—a release of emotion that could get her grounded.

Eden seethed, gridding her teeth together, "Joselyn, let's just watch TV, okay? Watch some cartoon?" Joselyn crossed her arms grumpily, but didn't say no, and that in itself was a huge relief. She turned on Netflix, about to turn on a movie, when there was a knock on the door.

O' mighty God, please let that be the Pizza. Eden prayed, opening the door to see…she had to rub her eyes to ensure she was seeing correctly and her eyes weren't going like her ears had.

It was a man with platinum blonde hair, clearly gelled, with a Hawk Moth styled suit, a purple cane, but a not-ugly silver butterfly mask.

Eden was about to shut the door when the man stopped her,

"Are you Eden Carpenter?"

Eden frowned, "Who wants to know? An impressive cosplay of Hawk Moth with a fashionably tolerable mask? Just turn into Gabriel already, everyone knows his secret identity and there is no way you aren't dressed like a Miraculous Ladybug pop-culture reference. Because unless it's something good, I'm closing the door." Seriously. What the fuck?

"The man who knows the whereabouts of your sister."

That both got Eden's attention, and worried her at the same time, "I don't have cash, and if you want to kill someone, just get it over with. Anything to get away from my I'm pretty sure half-sister."

The Hawk Moth dressed man frowned deeply, "May I come in…? We have a lot to discuss. Zoe's alive and well, and I can tell you exactly where she is."

"Uh…fuck no. You tell me right here, where I can close the door if necessary. I wouldn't have even opened this door if I weren't expecting pizza, so you should have just e-mailed me. If you know where I live, you know my e-mail." Had this been three years ago, she would have gladly let him in, but there is a thing called stranger danger, and said stranger knows location of supposedly dead sister.

"Do you want to know where Zoe is or not?"

She paused, "I do. More than anything. But you're being creepy as fuck. And if you know where she is, why not bring her here?"

The man glared, then calmed himself, "She doesn't want to come, she's happy away. But I can take you to her."

She weighed her options. Leave Joselyn, find Zoe but get grounded—and being grounded means losing a bed and sometimes meals—or stay with the little brat, and lose any chance of finding Zoe forever.

It was barely a choice. Food and sleep be damned.

"Take me to her."

He grinned way too maliciously for her not to regret her decision immediately, "Good choice." He gripped her wrist and then she found herself in…okay, was this guy some Hawk Moth fangirl? This was turning into a weird day.

"Welcome Eden." He then held an akuma in his hand.

"What the heck is going in?" Eden almost shouted, before reigning herself in, "Sorry, but this is ridiculous. Did I just sell my soul to a crackpot? And is that an akuma?!" The akuma landed in a bracelet,

"Wayfinder, I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you the chance to escape your home life, but in return, you must destroy Zoe Carpenter. But isn't that what you want?"

Eden looked up at him in alarm "Wait. You want me to kill my sister?! WHAT THE HECK?! I do not want to destroy her, I miss her more than anything! You freaking lunatic!"

"B-But…" He stuttered, not expecting this, "she left you! She left you alone and didn't even say goodbye! She doesn't miss you!"

"I haven't heard a whopper that big since my second cousin Maud said all those men were coming to her house for exciting games of bridge. She was very clearly taken against her will, and I have nothing against her! I just want her back!" She ripped off the bracelet and snapped it, breaking the connection and sprinted for dear life towards the conveniently open butterfly window, jumping with more height than she thought possible.

She had expected it to just be for show, not a real observatory in the fucking Agreste mansion.

She fell.

But also landed in a tree just outside the walls of the large building. She crept down the tree and only had one question:

What the hell just happened? And why couldn't she curse? Fine, maybe that was two questions, but while she didn't usually curse, this situation was worthy of it, and lack of ability to do so was also noteworthy.

She ran away from the mansion for a bit before deciding to weigh her options like her logic talent had been screaming at her to do for at least ten minutes. She hid in an alleyway and began talking to herself,

"Okay. Am I animated? Yes. Am I probably drugged and in some dream? Yes. Do I have anywhere to go? No." She looked outside and saw a poster of the six heroes, "Am I in Miraculous Ladybug? Seems like it." She pondered what this meant. If she was just in some weird dream, she was lucid dreaming—while probably being kidnapped by the Hawk Moth fangirl that suddenly turned into the real Hawk Moth, but that wasn't a huge priority right now because there was nothing she could do about that at this given moment—if she was lucid dreaming, then she could do whatever the hell she wanted. Maybe she could hug Tikki! She giggled as her inner child came out after years; she was in a weird as fuck situation, might as well make the best of it.

On that topic of kwamis…maybe she should go to Master Fu. She remembered in Sandboy that Hawk Moth mentioned sensing them on the right bank of the Seine or something like that, so that was a good place to start.

OoOoO

Turned out she was already on the right bank of the Seine, and found him within the hour, looking like an excited tourist, all the while giving herself a headache with her hearing aids at max, so she could hear any possible akumas—this may have led to an embarrassing encounter with a pigeon.

She knocked and opened the door, "Hello? Master Fu?"

Master Fu came in from another room, "Marinette—who are you?"

Eden waved sheepishly, "Um…hi...I know this sounds crazy, but I think Hawk Moth just kidnapped me and sucked me into a TV show." She was talking quickly, knowing full well she sounded completely insane.

He stared at her, "Um…again, who are you?"

"I'm Eden Carpenter; a girl from another world where all this is a TV show, a creepy guy said he knows where my sister is, I get kidnapped, and suddenly I'm being told to destroy her."

That was when he looked alarmed, "Eden Imelda Carpenter? Like…Zoe's little sister?"

"Yeah. Didn't I just say that?"

He looked at her, "She said you were eleven…"

"Well, three years does make people older."

He gasped, "Oh no…I thought no time would pass, that way she could go back with no problem. Not that I would if I were her."

Fair. World War III was going to happen any day now. But that begged the question,

"So…am I in a lucid dream or not?"

"Unless your sister is active in the same dream, no." Eden pinched herself just to check. Nothing.

Wayzz emerged and looked her over, "How could this be Master? I thought kwamis were only told of the spell after Nooroo and Duusu went missing. And if he really did, then he knows who Zoe is and she's in grave danger."

"No kidding." Eden muttered, before putting a hand to her mouth as she had been trying to say, "No shit."

Master Fu was chuckled worriedly, "You're wondering about the no cursing? Side effect, it should be gone in a day or so. Though since Zoe spiked the rating to nearly M with her language alone, I would think that wouldn't be a problem for you."

"Okay. So, my sister's in danger, Adrienette is real, Chameleon is gonna be a whole lot of fun," that last one was dripping with so much sarcasm it was almost tangible. She wasn't usually sarcastic, but this was a really weird day, "and where do I fit in all of this?"

"I can let you stay here as my ward." Master Fu said, "But I am sad to say, you must never reveal who you truly are to your sister, otherwise that could both her and you in even more danger."

"Wait… are you telling me I literally crossed dimensions to see my sister again, and I'm not allowed to tell her who I am?!"

"She thinks you're still eleven. Do you think she'd believe you?"

"I've seen the show, and I know she's seen and done weirder stuff than that."

Master Fu couldn't deny that, not even a little.

"I said you could not tell her who you truly are, I did not say you could not interact with her. I will send you to school like a normal girl, and you will be in her class. Alright?"

Eden sighed, sipping tea offered by Wayzz, "Yes. Thank you for letting me stay." Her eyes lit up a bit, "But can I at least have a Miraculous?"

"No. Again, far too dangerous. Maybe in time." He pulled out his iPad with the registration forms open, "What do you wish your alias to be?"

Eden smiled, remembering the alias she had fashioned in a similar fashion Zoe had created Claudia Mitchells, and Zoe didn't know of it, "Evelyn. Evelyn Autumn." She looked towards the Miracle Box in the gramophone.

If she was going to be in the Quantic Universe, she was going to get a Miraculous, whether Fu like it or not, but she would at least be decent enough to wait until the heroes needed help.

In the meantime, she was going to do more research to see what her dear sister had been doing off the screen.

OoOoO

Gabriel seethed in his office. He had sensed such negative emotions from that girl! How in god's name had he mistaken that hatred for the wrong sister?! In his defense, neither he or even Zoe knew about the new one. He made a note to never want to meet that one, because if she was anything like her sisters—and from what Eden had said, she was worse—he would leap out a window.

Eden was just as cynical and rude as her big sister. His grand plan had failed. He had thought Eden would be angry Zoe left, leaving her the target of their mother's abuse, and would hate her just as much as Lila did Ladybug, and would have no qualms with destroying her; and Zoe would be too afraid to hurt her. No, that plan crumbled. And now another person—a Carpenter, god forbid—knew his secret identity and probably run to somewhere he couldn't find her.

He grabbed the brand-new machete—because he was ashamed to admit he had checked Zoe's search history to find that website she bought all her weapons from—and twirled it in his hand.

It was due time for Zoe to not be a problem anymore. One Carpenter was more than enough for France, and he had already planned to do this.

He called Natalie, who was starting to recover from using the Peacock Miraculous, but was still taking it easy, "Natalie, tell Zoe to come to me when she gets back from the photoshoot, and make sure Adrien isn't around, because only one of us will be walking away, and it won't be her. It's time to settle this."

A/N: I'm mean, I know. But Gabriel should have known not to mess with a teenage Carpenter, it only ends in disaster. Also, note he changed his mask after Fireheart's little comments in Mayura.

And one more thing, Eden's name is pronounced Ed-en.
