Wayzz sits down in his drawer waiting for Master Fu's patient to leave. I hate being stuck in here. He thinks, huffing.
All of a sudden, Wayzz sits up and feels a chill go up his spine.
"Master!" he whispers, flying out of the drawer before remembering a guest was there.
Wayzz zips behind Fu's head out of sight of the patient.
"Are you doing that 'Master' chant again? What does it do?" the patient asks.
"Just healing of the… kidneys. I suddenly have something very important, so would you excuse me?" Fu says and he pushes the guy out the door.
"This is the second appointment in a row…"
"I know, I am very sorry. My sister's dog is having a diabetes attack. Family emergency."
"That isn't even-" SLAM!
"You have to stop doing that, Wayzz," Fu says, turning to his kwami.
"Master, a miraculous has been activated!"
Master Fu's eyes widen and he lets out his arm for Wayzz to land on.
"Which one?" he asks eagerly.
"Duusu's. The peacock miraculous."
Fu walks in circles thinking, then turns back to Wayzz.
"She's been missing for a while. Can you tell who activated it."
"No, master. But I can tell you that Duusu's miraculous isn't being used for evil… yet."
"Yet." Master Fu says bitterly.
"It was nice meeting you, Alaine," Gabriel said, shaking hands with the CEO.
"You too, Gabriel. I hope we have collaborations in the future." Alaine says back, sticking his hands in his pockets.
"If you ever need me, call Nathalie, my assistant. She will give you her contact information."
"I remember when Coco Chanel was actually alive," Duusu whispers to Nathalie from her breast pocket.
"Shh," Nathalie whispers back, covering Duusu with her hand. "What are you even doing here?"
"I have to stay with you in case an akuma attacks," Duusu replies, sticking her head back down.
This makes Nathalie remember why Duusu was really here. I had to be nosy, and now I'm 'chosen' to defend Paris.
"What makes you think…"
"Nathalie," Gabriel says, making Nathalie snap her head up.
Duusu buries deeper into her pocket. Nathalie's cheeks burn pink, wondering if he had heard her seemingly talk to herself. Nathalie walks up to the two designers.
"Yes, sir."
"Give this gentleman the contact information," Gabriel says. "Excuse me."
Gabriel walks away, and Nathalie mentally goes through his schedule wondering what he could be going to.
Nathalie turns back to Alain, who was talking to his own assistant. He turns to her.
"Mr. Agreste said you would be able to give me your contact information so I could contact him later."
"Yes, sir. I have it right here."
"Excellent," Alain says, then looks around. "Where is Karl?"
"The old bugger is still alive?" Duusu whispers.
"What was that?" Alaine says, swirling back to Nathalie.
Nathalie tries to focus on blood not rushing to her face.
"I didn't say anything, sir." she replies.
"Excuse my old ears," he says, then turns to his assistant. "Please collect the information for me, Georgia."
"Yes, sir," Georgia says, then turns to me.
Before I can tell Georgia the information, screams erupt outside. An older man runs in the doors and stops in front of Alaine.
"Karl!" Alaine shouts. "What is going on?"
"I am Therian! No one will harm animals again!"
"Talking about how much I loved the giraffe print. Intern went berserk. Daughter of PETA or something. Akuma." Karl says, then faints.
Nathalie rushes forward to catch Karl, but Alaine beats her to it.
"Everyone, run!"
Nathalie stands there for a second before deciding to run to Mr. Agreste's office. She wanted desperately to hide, but she had to find him first. Her job always was first.
"Mr. Agreste!" she yells into his office.
When she hears no reply, she moves on to different rooms.
"Nathalie! You need to go hide so you can transform." Duusu says, exiting Nathalie's pocket when she sees the coast is clear.
Nathalie skids to a stop. Surely Ladybug and Chat Noir had this handled. This was no different than other akumas. There was no reason to go through the terrifying experience. Especially since she planned on declining Duusu later.
"I… I can't," Nathalie says.
"What do you mean you can't?" Duusu says, narrowing her eyes.
"I still haven't comprehended all of this, and frankly, I was going to decline your offer."
"It wasn't an offer." Duusu scoffs. "You are the chosen one."
"We went through this, I'm not the chosen one. I stole you from a safe!" Nathalie says.
"I don't believe in coincidences." Duusu states.
"But…"
"Arghhh!" someone growls and a beam narrowly misses Nathalie's head.
Nathalie slowly turns around to see what she guesses was the akuma. It was an animal, but not one Nathalie had ever seen. It looked like a mixture of many, and frankly, looked like a furry. Nathalie shivers.
Nathalie bolts to the nearest room and slams the door. Ladybug and Chat Noir will be here soon and they will fix everything. There was no need for her to go out there and make a fool of herself, or put herself through that terrifying experience.
"Nathalie!" Duusu screams at her. "You need to transform."
Nathalie breathes deeply and goes through every argument in her head in under ten seconds.
"I really can't, ok? I'm a coward. I can't do this." she finally says.
Duusu grabs what she can of Nathalie's shoulder and starts crying.
"Nathalie! Nathalie darling! You need to go on!" Duusu screams.
"Why are you talking in a southern..."
"I know it is hard, but your mama needs ya darling."
"You're not…"
"It's my time to go now…" Duusu says, falling down to the ground, slowly.
"Oh for goodness sakes!" Nathalie huffs.
Then a beam breaks down the door. It takes a few seconds for Nathalie to comprehend that she was found by the akuma and she needed to get out of here.
Samuel L. Jackson!
Nathalie runs to the adjacent door to the office and runs into the hall from there. She sprints with all her might and throws herself into another room.
"I will find Karl and stop everyone from using animals in their fashion!" the akuma shouted.
"Nathalie, darling," Duusu says, getting teary eyed and touches Nathalie's face.
"Are you always so dramatic?" Nathalie asks, fear in her voice.
"I… I feel my heart a breakin. You have broke ya mama's poor heart."
"That doesn't even sound like a southern accent!"
"You need ta decide what ya want in life. Do you want to be a coward and keep runnin through every room, or do ya want to do somethin with yer life?"
Nathalie bites her lip and sighs.
"Fine." she says. "But for the record, I did do something with my life."
Nathalie takes in a deep breath and closes her eyes.
"Duusu, transforme moi."
Duusu flies into the brooch. Afterwards, a blue aura circles her. Nathalie can feel only what she can describe as magic. It flows through her and she feels tingling and momentarily losing gravity. SHe closes her eyes and bites back a small scream.
Nathalie opens one eye hesitantly and glances down. Her clothes seem to be slowly transforming into something else. She gulps when she realizes it is her superhero suit. It was a blue dress the draped down and pooled at the floor, then going back in a train. It was long sleeved too, and she could barely tell that there was a turtle neck, because she was so used to wearing one. She had skin tight spandex on her legs, and she was wearing boots.
Well that was all well and good, but Nathalie wanted to know how this outfit was any better that her suit when it came to fighting. She had no weapons, and if anything, she could fight better in a pantsuit than this floppy dress.
"What am I supposed to fight with?" she asks. Nathalie sighs. Duusu either couldn't hear her, or was ignoring her.
Nathalie breathes in-and-out and tries to calm herself. Not only did she barely transform to fight, but she has nothing to fight with. Ladybug has her yoyo, and Chat Noir has a bo staff.
At this point, I'd take a stick. Nathalie thinks. She looks around and realizes she is in the sports room. She zooms over to a closet as she gets an idea.
Nathalie may not have a magic yoyo or bo staff, but she does have a mundane baseball bat.
She hoists it up and looks out into the hall on the defensive. Looking both ways, she zooms through the halls until she gets outside.
She expected the same furrie as before, but instead, there was a ten foot rhino is the plaza.
Nathalie does what most people would do, she screams, drops the baseball bat, and runs towards the door. Unfortunately, Nathalie chooses that time to trip over her ridiculous dress. But, on the plus side, she ends up floating. Another down side, the rhino heard her yelp and was now staring at her, and Nathalie doesn't know how to get down.
Nathalie finally grabs the door and tries to swing herself around to no avail. That's when she heard a foot scraping itself against the concrete. And that's when she realized she should find out how to get back on the ground.
Nathalie tries to push herself down using the door, but she ends up just turning around again. Just in time to see her impending death.
The rhino is charging towards her. All Nathalie can think to do is scream as she hears a crash. It takes her a moment to realize that it never hit her.
Nathalie opens one eye at a time to see the sky in front of her with buildings littered everywhere.
No. No. No. she thinks. Nathalie looks down and her face flushes green. She snaps her head back up.
Oh,
Duusu didn't tell her she could fly!
I probably wouldn't have accepted then.
Nathalie tries to lean forward and ends up doing a front flip in the air.
"Oh, come on!" she screams in frustration.
That's when she turns upside down and her dress covers her face. Nathalie could only hope this suit has underwear.
Chris Pratt!
"What are you doing, hanging around here?" she hears a cocky voice say.
"Mmmhmmmmhhhmm." Nathalie mumbles, her dress muffling her words.
"I heard there was an animal akuma, but all I see is a floppy dressed one. Guess they were kitten."
"I don't know who you are, but I'm not an akuma." Nathalie says, using her hands to move her dress out of her mouth.
"Well, I'm Chat Noir." Chat Noir says. "Then who are you? And how are you seemingly floating…"
"Stop dilly dallying, Chat Noir! What are you doing up there?" an annoyed voice says.
Nathalie could only guess it was Ladybug.
"Can someone help me up?" Nathalie finally pipes up, annoyed. Chat Noir rubs the back of his head sheepishly.
She feels hands on her legs pulling her down to the ground. Her dress falls back over her head. Nathalie looks down to see she is still floating, but at least she wasn't hanging by her legs.
"Thank you." Nathalie says as calmly as she can. Hanging in the air for five minutes didn't help her fear of heights.
"I see London, I see France, I saw someone's underpants!" Chat Noir says.
Nathalie goes bright red.
"Listen…" Nathalie says, trying to turn and face him. "Listen… Whoa!" she wobbles back and forth.
Chat Noir leans forward on his staff and turns her around.
"Listen... Thank you… here. I will not be made fun of by a teenager in tight leather!"
"Chat Noir!" Ladybug screams at him. "We have to find the akuma! And who is that?"
Chat Noir gives her a thumbs up.
"Just a second milady."
He turns to Nathalie.
"Grab my hand." he says.
Nathalie leans forward hesitantly and grabs his hand. Chat Noir's staff shrinks and leads them down back to the ground. Nathalie wants to kiss the ground once her feet touch the ground.
"Wait." says Ladybug. "Are you a…"
"I… I think so." Nathalie says.
"You're a bit older… Ow!" Chat Noir goes to say, but Ladybug elbows him.
Nathalie goes to speak, but then she hears a shriek. She turns around to see the akuma, now a hawk, flying straight for them.
Hey!
