Hello~

I'm in limbo right now, having just finished Locks of Ebony and Gold and starting to write my next fanfiction! Seeing as now I have basically free write time, I wanted to write some one-shots for Wings again!

I also got a DM requesting a sequel developing around the new characters or writing a new arc that would have happened between Chapters 32 and 33.

This one-shot is...uh...sad...just a heads up :)

Wings

by thepeacockandthebutterfly

Chloe smiled at herself in the mirror as she pinned her antennae back beneath a bun of her golden locks. She may have become a nicer person, but she couldn't deny that she didn't love looking at herself.

"You look beautiful, Chlo," a voice murmured lowly into her ear.

Chloe shivered slightly, turning to peck Nathanael on the lips gently. "Thanks, Nath," she paused to look him up and down, "you don't look too bad yourself." She winked saucily at him, the slightest bite to her lips suggesting what she really thought about his appearance.

While Nathanael had grown much more confident in himself, he never did figure out how to take a compliment with poise. A scarlet blush creeped across his cheeks at Chloe's flattery. "Th-thanks."

She laughed at him, the sound happy rather than mocking as it had been in the past. She tiptoed to whisper in his ear, "you're so cute, I could just eat you up...literally!" She let her teeth gently run across his earlobe with a tender nibble, smiling at the way Nathanael trembled under her touch.

"Ew! Mom, Dad, stop being gross!" Phillipe complained.

Chloe and Nathanael turned to see their son with his arms flung over his face dramatically.

"I can never unsee that," he moaned in distress, still shielding his eyes.

Chloe and Nathanael exchanged an amused look before Nathanael ran over to his son and hoisted him up into the air. "So, we were being gross, huh?" he asked teasingly.

Phillpe squealed as Nathanael spun him around in the air, giggling madly. "Mommy and Daddy were being icky!"

"And what's wrong with that, mon prince?" Chloe asked as she walked over to take Phillipe in her arms.

The boy cackled, wriggling in an effort to get his mom to drop him. "Icky!"

Chloe rolled her eyes, tightening her grip on the squirming child. Her years of fighting were somehow incredibly useful when raising an active toddler.

Nathanael's necklace beeped suddenly, a faint orange glow coming from it. He nodded at Chloe before leaving the room to transform and figure out who was trying to message him.

"Where's Daddy going?" Phillipe asked, tugging on his mom's shirt.

Chloe smiled down at him before looking back up at the doorway where Nathanael had passed through. "He just got a call, mon ours, Daddy will be back soon."

Just then, the golden comb that sat at the base of her bun began to vibrate softly, flashing gold. Chloe sighed, setting Phillipe down gently. "Phillipe, Mommy has to use the restroom, but she'll be right back, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy!" Phillipe grinned at his mother.

Leaving the room quickly, Chloe transformed and flicked open the screen embedded in the side of her bow. "What?" She knew her voice was blunt, but she really needed to get back to Phillipe.

"Queen Bee, we need you here ASAP! Volpin just showed up, but his illusions aren't doing anything against this supervillain!"

Queen Bee sighed exasperatedly. "Well, I can't leave Phillipe alone...if you send Volpin back to watch him then I can go."

"I'm on my way, Abeille," Volpin said as his image joined Paona's on the screen.

She nodded at him before de-transforming and returning to her child's side.

Nathanael rushed back into the house, gesturing to the door rapidly as he sat down beside Phillipe. "Hey, kiddo!"

Chloe smiled at the two before heading for the door and transforming in a flash of golden light. In a moment, she was soaring through the sky, hurrying to the site of the battle.

It was a quick defeat once Queen Bee arrived, her shooting abilities and speed quickly getting rid of the fast-flying villain that had been resisting Paona and Guardian's efforts.

"And this is why I said that you two weren't a good pair," Queen Bee said teasingly.

Paona shook her head at Queen Bee, knowing she wasn't serious. "Hey, it's not our fault that a villain that perfectly matched your abilities decided to fly into our patrol territory!"

"Also, we don't have a kid to occupy us!" Guardian added.

"Yet," Queen Bee whispered, laughing as she flew off, knowing that Paona and Guardian were probably sputtering and red at her words.

"Hey, Chlo, do you want to come over for a play-date?" Adrien asked over the phone.

Chloe smiled. "Sure! Phillipe keeps asking about when he can hang with Emma and Louis next, anyways."

"Okay, we'll see you all soon! Bye~"

She laughed at the little inflection at the end of his response before closing her phone.

"Hey, Nath, do you want to come with Phillipe and I over to Mari and Adri's house?" she called, waiting for her husband's response.

"Sure!" he yelled back, running into the room with Phillipe at his heels.

"I! get! to! see! Emma! and! Louis! today!" Phillipe sang happily as he bounced in his car seat.

Chloe and Nathanael grinned at their son and each other before pulling out of their parking spot and moving onto the road.

Nathanael, sitting happily in the passenger seat, had turned on the radio to some pretty classical music which he was now humming along to.

Chloe was watching the road carefully, having memorized the way to the Agreste house long ago.

Louis was clapping loudly along with the drum line in the music, squealing loudly whenever the bass drum was hit.

They didn't see the car that swerved, running into them.

Impact.

Pain.

Nathanael reached for his son, pulling the battered body to his chest as his vision wavered.

Chloe was slumped against the steering wheel, blood streaming from her head.

Nathanael felt a tear run down his cheek as he realized their fates. His eyes began to close as a orange light roared into view, calling him to return to it. Eternal sleep beckoned its hand, temptingly promising to get rid of his pain forever. Promising to reunite them all in the afterlife. Nathanael's spirit detached itself from its body, moving into the orange flare of his miraculous.

And then there was only white.

I was going back and reading the reviews on this story (329 omg I love all of you so much) and I was just crying softly because you guys showed me so much support during this fanfiction.

Honestly I cringe a little bit when rereading the older chapters (heh), but I've decided to just leave them as is! Every fanfiction gets better as the author gets more into the story (or gets worse as the author gives up).

This chapter is all about the feels, but more specifically I'm thinking about going in and fleshing out the little snapshots of time in Chapter 33: Passing Years. OBVIOUSLY this chapter dealt with the death of Chloe, Nathan, and their son :(

Author's Question: Who would be interested in me revisiting this fanfiction? If so, who would want to see an arc with the new heroes from Chapter 34 and who would want to see an arc with the original heroes like in between Chapter 32 and 33?

And for old times sake, as I've always said, PLEASE REVIEW, FAVORITE, FOLLOW! REVIEWS ARE FOOD TO A FANFICTION WRITER!

(can we try for 350 reviews? we only need 21 more :))
