They finally defeated Hawkmoth, ladybug looked around at the citizens slowly emerging from the surrounding houses and shops. It should have been a happy time but as she looked at the patch of ground bellow the Eifle tower to the smoking body of their foe her eyes also saw her kitty. Chat stumbled towards Hawkmoth clutching tightly at the gash in his side, he fell to his knees by the body, blood leaking slowly through his gloved fingers. She ran towards him dropping to her knees beside him and quickly taking him in her arms. He let out a sound somewhere between a scream and a yowl and she immediately let go only now could she hear the raggedness in his breathing every gasp of air a struggle.

"Don't worry Chat I'll use lucky charm it'll heal you, I just know it will, she scrambled for her YOYO intent on using its power to return things to the way they where before the battle when a clawed hand caught her wrist. "No princess" he coughed and blood flecked his lips. "What? But Chat you'll die."

"If it saves me it'll save him" he said looking at the unconscious figure on the floor, to tell the truth it looked like Hawkmoth would recover from these injuries with or without lucky charm. "This could be the only chance we have to put him behind bars" Chat said breaking out into another fit, the coughs racking his thin frame as his bell tinkled, Tiki had once told her that symbols of possession on previous Chats, like bells or tags, carried a dark meaning. She hadn't wanted to believe it then but as she listened to that bell now she was filled with rage at whoever was the cause of it. Tiki had also said that on occasion the bell would disappear when the wearer was freed. It hurt that here he was, her Chat Noir about to die and still confined by that stupid bell. A sudden beeping interrupted them and she looked down at the ring on her partners finger. "Mari" He choked out, curling in on himself in pain, her eyes widened and she stared at the back of the boys blond head. Without looking up he let out a pain filled chuckle, "I've known for a while" he answered the unspoken question, "I love you Mari, even in my civilian life you bri 'caugh' brighten up 'caugh' my day. When I'm with you 'caugh, caugh, caugh'" Chat fell against her side "you 'caugh' you make me forget the pain." Tears fell from her eyes as she looked into his slited green irises, they where darkening now as his last breath drew nearer.

Beep

A sudden flash of black, like blinking but darker, revealed him. "Adrien" she sobbed feeling like her heart was being ripped out, he smiled at her sadly. "Adrien I...I" she kept choking on her words unable to get out what she wanted to say. His cat green eyes looked up at her understandingly and as the light darkened four words where spoken.

"au rovoir mon amour"
