Hi, everyone. Tenten Kiken Hinamori here. I had this idea for a while now and was gonna save it til after I finished Blood Red, but I couldn't wait. So here we go!
"Hmm. It seems I have another power. To use a part of a person's soul to create a living puppet that will do anything I say." A dark shadowy man said, reading from an ancient book. "But master, that power is used for emergencies only. And you could lose control of it if they taste the blood of the person from which they are from. They'd become their very own person." Nooroo argued. "I do not care. I will do whatever it takes to get my hands on the miraculouses. In fact, I may create a new miraculous with this power. A bug's natural enemy is a spider, so I think I'll make it a black widow miraculous." The man chuckled evilly.
"But master! Making a new miraculous is even riskier!" Nooroo exclaimed. "Silence! I will do as I please! Now, let us begin. Nooroo, dark wise rise!" The man ordered. Nooroo sighed but did as he was ordered and went into the brooch. Hawkmoth gave off a sinister laugh as he transformed. "Now then, time to create my puppet." he said taking one of the pure white butterflies. He used his power to make the butterfly into a glowing orb. "Go my little akuma. Find one pure of heart and steal a bit of her soul. Become the dark version of her." he called as the orb flew away.
The nerve of this guy! He was just like Chloe! "Come on girl. Let's just ignore him." Alya said. "No wait, I was just trying to-" the boy tried to say. "I don't want to hear it. If you're friends with Chloe, then you're just like her." I growled, pissed off. "Marinette! Look out!" Alya yelled. I turned around to see a glowing orb right before it went straight through me. I clutched my chest, expecting to feel pain, but I didn't feel anything.
"Are you ok?!" Nino asked standing next to me in a heartbeat. "Yea, I'm fine." I said then looked up at the orb. It bounced around a bit then took off out the window.
"What was that?!" Alix yelled. "The orb just went through her and left as though it meant no harm." Max said.
"Girl, are you sure you're ok?" Alya asked. "Yea. I feel fine. There is no pain. It just mainly scared me is all." I said. Alya and the others hugged me. I smiled at them. Miss Bustier walked in and class started.
Chat and I ran to the Effiel Tower as fast as we could. We had to stop Stoneheart from hurting anyone. I caught Chloe and set her down. When Hawkmoth appeared, demanding the miraculouses, saying that Chat and I were to blame, I just clapped and told him off. "We will stop you." I said.
"Oh really? Well then, we'll see about that. Come, my little puppet!" Hawkmoth called. Soon, the very same orb from before zipped right past me and stopped below Hawkmoth. It grew in size then popped like a bubble, revealing a girl in a plain white dress, that barely went below to her knees. It looked as though she was floating in the air until her feet gently touched the ground. Her body was hunched a bit, being she was hugging herself and her head was bent down. Her hair was fire red and went down just below her shoulder blades it looked like.
She lifted her head and Chat and I gasped. She looked just like me, though Chat didn't know that so I have no idea why he gasped. She then slowly opened her eyes and I felt sick. They were the same color as mine, but they looked dead and hollow as if she wasn't even alive.
"What do you think of my puppet? But wait there's more." Hawkmoth cackled as something dropped from the sky. The girl reached out her left hand and caught it. From what I could see, it looked like some kind of bracelet. However, I realized it was an armband when she hooked it onto her right arm about 3 inches from her shoulder. The armband looked like it was a thin brown leather strap with a silver spider, that was a bit bigger than the strap, in the middle of it. The way she moved, it was as if she really was nothing more than a puppet with strings attached to her. It made me sick.
Chat and I gasped when a Kwami appeared. It looked like a spider, but it was more like Tikki. It's bo "He created...another miraculous user..." Chat gasped in shock.
"Widow." The girl spoke softly and I nearly cried. Even her voice sounded dead and lifeless. "Webs spun." she finished. Her kwami went into the spider of the armband making the strap turn red and the spider turn black and gain an hourglass broken into 5 parts. Spider webs covered her body in an instant then broke off, showing that her white dress was gone and replaced with a black tank top with red trim, and it only went to the top of her belly button, and a black skirt with and a red underskirt. Around the top of the skirt was a red belt with a black spider belt buckle. Fishnet stocking and sleeves, that looked like spider webs, covered her arms and legs. She wore black boots that went up to the middle of her calf, with a red spider zipper. She had red finger cut gloves on her hands. Her red hair was now in a ponytail and finally, she wore a black mask over her face.
"Ladybug, say hello, to Black Widow." Hawkmoth cackled. "She is a living puppet I created, just to face you."
"How could you do such a thing?! How can you be so cruel?!" I yelled pissed off. "What? Are you just going to use her to get our miraculoues then destroy her if you get them?! Chat yelled beside me.
"Why yes, yes I am." Hawkmoth answered simply. How could he answer like that?! He created a life and is just going to throw her away as if she was nothing. I won't stand for that. "Now hand over your miraculoues!" he ordered.
"Never! We'll never hand them over to the likes of you! You're gonna pay for what you have done!" Chat and I yelled. "Then you leave me with no choice. Black Widow! Attack!" he ordered.
Black Widow grabbed the buckle of her belt and pulled off the entire belt. The buckle became a handle and the rest became a whip. "Chat, you go distract Stoneheart. I'll try stopping Widow." I said. "You sure?" Chat asked worriedly. "Yes. Now go." I yelled dodging an attack from Widow. Chat nodded and ran up the tower.
I grabbed my yo-yo and fought with Widow, but made sure not to hurt her. "Please, let me help you." I pleaded. "Don't waste your breath. She has no heart or mind." Hawkmoth called. I ignored him. "Please Widow. Chat and I can help you. You won't have to be his puppet anymore!" I exclaimed. But my words were reaching her, being her whip wrapped around me and she used it to slam me into a street light. I screamed in pain and dropped to the ground.
"Ladybug!" Chat yelled. Widow walked up to me, grabbed me by my throat and held me above her. "Good Widow. Now, take her miraculous!" Hawkmoth ordered. Widow reached towards my ears with her free hand. I tried to plead with her, but I ended up coughing up blood and it landed on her face, over her mouth. I watched as she licked up some of the blood and her actions stilled.
Her grip on my neck loosened and I was able to get free as she grabbed her head and backed away. "Widow! What are you doing?! Get her miraculous!" Hawkmoth yelled. Widow looked at me and I gasped, seeing her eyes. They were no longer hollow, but full of regret.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She said, her voice shaking as she shed tears. She looked so wounded and broken, that I started crying as well. I went wide eyed when she removed her armband, turning her back into her normal form, and tried giving it to me. "Please. Please take this away from me. So I can make up for hurting you." she cried. I frowned and took it from her, but I put it back on her arm. "You can make it up to me, by joining Chat and I to fight akumas and Hawkmoth." I said. She looked at me in shock and I just smiled. She teared up and smiled. "Of course." She said then looked to the Hawkmoth image. "Widow! Webs Spun!" she yelled and turned into Black Widow.
"I'll capture the akumas while you purify them." she said pulling off 1 of her sleeves. "Sounds like a plan to me." I said pulling out my yo-yo. She nodded then ran to the tower and capture the akumas, using her sleeve like a huge spider web. I purified all the akumas.
"Let me make this promise to you. No matter who wants to harm you, Ladybug, Chat Noir and Black Widow will do everything in our power to keep you safe." I called to all of Paris before releasing the pure white butterflies. "Nice speech there." Widow said pulling her sleeve back on.
"A little help here!" Chat called. Widow and I nodded at each other then climbed up the tower to help Chat.
"So, any ideas?" Chat asked when we met up with him. "Uh, guys." Widow said looking down. Chat and I looked to see the other Stonehearts climbing up. "We're surrounded. "Chat said. "Yes, but we know where the akuma is." I said. "Yea, in his clenched fist. The same one that's holding that girl. So what else do we know?' Widow asked.
"Well, we do know he's in love with her. That's it! We don't separate them, we bring them closer together. They're made for each other." I giggled. "Are you playing matchmaker?" Widow asked. "Yep!" I called climbing to the top of the tower, missing Widow and Chat shrugging at each other.
"So, how are you getting them together?" Widow asked. "By using our powers. Lucky Charm!" I called, using my lucky charm only to gain, a parachute. "If you're getting them together, now would be a good time!" Widow yelled as the Stoneheart clones made it to the top. I nodded, put on the parachute and used my yo-yo to make Mylene kiss Ivan, in turn, making him drop her and the akuma. Ivan turned back and they both fell. I jumped down, cleansing the akuma and grabbed Mylene, opening the parachute. I watched as Widow jumped down. She landed on the ground before Ivan and called, "Web net!" Soon, a huge spider web appeared and caught Ivan, keeping him safe.
"Nice save!" I said landing on the ground. Chat helped Ivan down. "Thanks." Widow said, making the webs disappear. "Miraculous Ladybug!" I called, throwing the parachute into the air. A swarm of ladybugs flew around, fixing everything. We all looked around amazing until we heard a thud. We looked back to see Widow, unconscious, on the ground. Her transformation vanished, her kwami appearing out her armband.
"Hey!" I called running to her. "Hey, what's wrong?! Wake up!" I said gently slapping her face. "We need to get her to the hospital." Chat said. "But my time is almost up." I said. "I'll take her. I didn't use my power." Chat said gently picking her up. "Alexandra." I said. "Huh?" Chat asked confused. "She doesn't have a civilian name. Hawkmoth only gave her a villain name. And the hospital will ask for a name, so Alexandra." I said. Chat nodded and jumped away, carrying Alexandra. I quickly went home and turned back to normal ten was going to run to the hospital, but my parents stopped me.
"Where are you going?" Papa asked. "The hospital. Ladybug asked me to help that girl that Hawkmoth created." I lied, though it was sorta the truth. "We'll go with you. We want to help her too. The poor girl." Mama said. I nodded and we all ran to the hospital. "Excuse me? Did Chat Noir bring a girl named Alexandra in?" I asked the receptionist as soon as we got there. "Why yes. The doctors are looking over her now. I'll let you know as soon as they're done." She said.
We nodded and we sat down in the waiting room, though I couldn't sit for long. I was soon pacing back and forth in worry.
"Honey, please sit down." Mama said. "I can't. I'm so worried. I can't believe how cruel that man is to just create a living being, using to use her then throw her away like she's nothing." I growled clenching my fists. I felt my papa take my hands in his own. "Mari, darling, we agree with you. But worrying like this won't help her. Please sit down and try to stay calm, ok?" he said gently.
I nodded and sat down. But keeping still was hard and I ended up shaking my leg. I looked up hearing someone walking up. "Excuse me, are you family to Miss Alexandra?" the doctor asked. "No, but Ladybug asked us to help her." I said. "She was created by Hawkmoth so she has no family." I said. "Are you sure miss? Because she looks exactly like you and has your DNA." The doctor said. "Really?" Maman asked. "Yes, but since she has no family, I guess I can let you in. She should be waking up soon." The doctor said. We nodded and walked into the room to see Alexandra asleep on the hospital bed. I sat next to the bed.
"What will we do? We can't take her in, we don't have the room." Maman said. "That is true... What to do?" Papa asked pacing. I gently took Alexandra's hand in my own. "I promise. I'll never let Hawkmoth use you again. I'll protect you." I said as I closed my eyes, tears running down my face.
My eyes opened in shock when I felt a hand wiping my tears away, to see Alexandra awake and her hand near my face. She smiled at me and I returned it.
"AH! I know! My brother!." Papa yelled. "Uncle Pops?" I asked confused. "That'd be perfect! He's been lonely since your cousin and aunt were killed. I think him adopting her would be a great help to him. Plus, she does look like little Alex. If she was her age, they'd look exactly alike." Maman said. "I'll call him." Papa said then pulled out his phone.
I looked at Alexandra, no I'm just gonna call her Alex, and smiled at her. "We're gonna take care of you Alex. I promise." I said. She smiled. "What's your name?" she asked. "I'm Marinette. You can call me Mari if you want." I said smiling. She smiled and nodded.
"Thank you." she said.
"So your uncle adopted her?" Alya asked as we walked into the school the next day. "Yea. We're cousins now." I said happily. "Is she gonna be ok?" she asked. "Yea. She'll have to take medication and therapy until she gets her full strength back, but she'll be ok." I said. "That's good to hear. I can't believe how sick that asshole is! How could he do something like that?! You don't just create a person to just throw them away when you're done with them." she growled. I patted her shoulder. 'Trust me. I totally agree with you." I said.
After Ayla and I took our new seats from Chloe and Sabrina, Miss Bustier came in and started the lesson. Though, after 15 minutes, Principal Damocles came in. "Everyone, we have a new student. You may come in now child." he called. I dropped my pencil seeing Alex wheel herself in, thanks to her wheelchair. "Alex?!" I said in shock. "Hey cuz. Looks like we're in the same class." she chuckled. I rushed to her side. "What are you doing here?! You should be at home resting! What about your meds. And therapy? How are you gonna get-" I began asking until Alex held up her hand. "Stop! Breathe." she ordered.
I took a deep breath. "Now, I'll answer your questions in order. I'm here to get an education since that's what normal people do. Pops will be coming to give me my meds at lunch. Pops will also pick me up after school and bring me to therapy and home. That help?" she asked smirking. I nodded. "Good, now help me up." she chuckled. I chuckled and helped her stand. "Where is she sitting?" I asked Miss Bustier. 'Right behind you is just fine." she answered.
"This isn't fine! She works with Hawkmoth!" Chloe yelled. "No, she was controlled by Hawkmoth. She's no longer his puppet but a normal girl, so back off Chloe. She's my cousin now and I protect my family." I said then helped Alex into her seat. "Just ignore her cuz. She's just upset because Ladybug was more worried about me and not her." Alex snickered. "True." I said sitting down. Chloe stood up to say something, but Principal Damocles interfered. "Miss Bougeois! Alexandra is now a student here and she will remain a student here until she graduates. There will be no ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you say one more thing to her you will be brought to my office with your father, do I make myself clear?" he asked sternly. Chloe growled and sat down. "Welcome again Miss Alexandra. I hope you enjoy coming here." he said then walked out.
"As long as I have my cousin here, I'll be fine." Alex chuckled. I reached back and we high fived.
After school, I waited outside as Kim and Nino were helping Alexandra get down the stairs, Principal Damocles is going to have a handicap elevator installed soon, when it started raining. I sighed then turned my head angrily when Adrien walked out. He sighed then opened up his umbrella and started walking away before he stopped. "I just want you to know, I was only trying to get the gum off. I swear. I've never been to school before. I've never had friends. It's all so new to me.." he said before holding his umbrella to me. I hesitated but then took it, only for it to close on me. I yelped in shock then slowly pushed it open, hearing him laughing. I gave a nervous chuckle. "See you tomorrow." he said before walking to his car. "S-see you t-tomorrow. Whoa, why am I stuttering?" I asked myself.
"I think I know why." Tikki chuckled flying out my purse. "That makes 2 of us." I heard Alex chuckle. Tikki quickly hid. "Um, I can explain-" I began to say. Alex just chuckled and lifted up her shirt sleeve to show the Black Widow armband. "You're secret is safe with me cuz." she chuckled. I smiled then helped her down the stairs just as Pops arrived. We helped her into the truck and I waved them off and headed home. I could tell, that things were going to get pretty interesting.
I do not own Anything except for Alex and Widow. Please leave a review to tell me what you think. Bye for now.
