Raven darted around the buildings, her eyes peeled for the red and black villain. Ironically, she found him trying to attack Chloé. While she was tempted to just let him finish, Raven sighed and moved in as Ladybug also appeared.

"Ladybug!"

"Stop, Kim!" She called as Raven landed beside her, shooting her an appreciative grin.

"I'm not Kim, I'm Dark Cupid! I'll never stop! If I can't have love, then no one can!"

"Okay, Dark Cupid, I get it. Chloé totally burned you. But that doesn't mean you have to take it out on all of Paris!"

"I mean- just aim for Chloé and get your revenge on just her- what?!" Raven rubbed her gut, specifically the spot Ladybug elbowed.

"Oh yes, I do! I won't stop until everyone's heart is crushed. Say adios to your loved ones. From now on, you'll hate them!"

Dark Cupid attacked, attempting to hit Ladybug and Raven. The girls dodge them, blocking with their given weapons.

"Split up!" Ladybug called, darting off to the right. Raven slid down the roof to her left, catching herself from falling by hooking her grappling hook to the gutter. She waited a few moments, as Dark Cupid flew over, looking for her and Ladybug.

"Still falling for me, mon merle?" Cat appeared on his staff below her, spinning his tail before reaching out to pull her down onto the metal. "I need to talk to you."

"But Dark Cupi-"

Cat hushed her, resting a gloved finger on her lips, making her blush.

"I swore to myself that I'd tell you as soon as I saw you. Raven, I-I-look out!" Cat spun around to shield Raven, taking one of Dark Cupid's arrows to his back.

"Cat!"

"Raven, I—I loathe you!"

"Kitty cat, snap out of it! This isn't you talking!"

"You're nothing Raven, and nothing to me! I hate you!" Cat growled, squeezing Raven against him. The girl swallowed the panic growing, slamming her foot down on Cat's foot. The feline teen dropped his grip in pain, and using the staff, Raven launched herself into the air, her wings catching air and carrying her away.

Cat stayed there a moment, still holding onto his staff before he retracted the metal and put it away. He climbed up the wall behind him, where he met Dark Cupid face to face.

"I can help you crush Raven, but you must give me her Miraculous in return." Dark Cupid spoke after the purple butterfly vanished from his face.

"No...problem." Cat chuckled, holding his hand out for the villain to take.

Raven finally found Ladybug at the Grand Paris Hotel. She was in the lobby, trying to convince Chloé to run.

"Ladybug- Cat got hit." Raven panted, lowering her voice so only her partner heard. Ladybug gasped, frowning.

"You okay?" Raven barely nodded, understanding the undertone of the question. Ladybug patted her shoulder before turning back to Chloé.

" You gotta get out of here. Your friend Kim's turned into Dark Cupid and I don't know what he'll do if he finds you here."

"Moi? But how could he possibly have a vendetta against me?"

"Who doesn't?" Ladybug and Raven both mumbled, sharing a glance.

"Duh! It's because of this. Everyone would love to get their hands on it." Chloé pointed to the poster of Adrien out in front of the hotel.

"That's Adrien, a super hot guy in my class. And rich, too! He's hot for me of course."

Raven gagged, her own noise preventing her from hearing whatever Ladybug muttered. But Sabrina suddenly freaking out drew the attention back to the situation.

"It's alive!" The poster began to seemingly walk into the Hotel and from behind it emerged Dark Cupid. He fired his arrows at Ladybug, Raven, Sabrina and Chloé. Ladybug deflected them before grabbing Chloé with her yo-yo and dragged her onto the street.

"Daddy!"

"Oh shut up!"

"Run Chloé! Run!" Chloé ran at Ladybug's order, followed by Sabrina. The two heroine's started to follow but Cat Noir dropped down from above and landed in front of Raven.

"Well, well, Raven."

"LB- go deal with Cupid. I've got the kitty." Ladybug nodded, looking between the pair before zipping away. Raven turned her attention to Cat, leaving her hook on her waist.

"I don't want to fight you, Cat."

"Ugh, that friendliness. It's so revolting. You are definitely not my friend!"

Cat leapt into the air, swinging his staff directly at Raven. She dodged it and jumped up onto the roof to run away. Cat pursued her, and after a few minutes Raven finally used her hook to grab Cat's staff, and pull him toward her.

"Why are you so full of hate, Cat?!"

"Because hate conquers all!"

"You and I both know that's not true! We've seen what hate does!" Raven pleaded.

'How can I get him back to normal?' She thought, wracking her brain. Then it hit her.

"The prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess."

'Oh son of a gun...!' The feathered heroine inwardly groaned, realizing what she was gonna have to do. She was used to Cat planting little kisses on her cheeks and the back of her hands...but kissing on the lips? And her initiating it? Gosh, she was gonna be blushing for weeks after this.

"You're just buying time, bird brain! Fight!" The hero separated his staff, causing Raven's hook to fall.

...

'Bird brain?!...now I don't feel as bad for doing this!' The teen frowned as she pulled her hook back to her.

"Ya know, I think I've got a better solution, pretty kitty."

"Huh?"

"Come on, kitty kitty, just a peck... Trust me, I'm not wanting to do this either cause Lord knows I'm not gonna be able to look at you for a week after this...!"

Cat darted back, actually looking scared of the smaller female.

"Get back, you savage!" Cat took off across the rooftops, running on all fours. Raven had to hold in her laughter at the sight, wishing she had her phone on her to film it for later cute blackmail.

"Come on, kitty cat!"

Raven chased Cat to the fountain near the park, finally managing to snag one of his ankles and tie him to a light post. She landed in front of him and leaned closer to him.

"No, no!" Cat chanted, looking terrified.

"I'm not looking forward to it either, kitty cat... but it's gotta happen to get you out from under this spell." Raven sighed, trying to gather herself to move forward.

"I can't believe I'm doing this..." Raven muttered, finally leaning forward and closing her eyes. An arrow zipped between them, Dark Cupid appearing in the sky. Raven darted away, pulling her grappling hook with her. Ladybug landed beside her, as Dark Cupid and Cat land by the fountain. Raven and Ladybug hide behind a tree opposite of the males.

"How you gonna fight both of us now, bird brain? Cataclysm!" Raven peeked out, seeing that black power erupt in her partner's hand.

"I've often wondered what would happen if I use my Cataclysm on someone..."

"And the rest of us would rather not find out..." Raven muttered, as Ladybug stood.

"Lucky Charm! A candy apple? What am I supposed to do with this? Think, Ladybug..." Raven smirked at the girl's antics, as her eyes darted around- clearly using her Lucky Vision. After a few seconds, she smirked and turned toward Raven.

"You take care of Cat Noir, I've got cupid-boy."

"Got it."

"Hey! I've got a Valentine's gift for you!" Ladybug yelled, her and Raven stepping out from behind the tree. Dark Cupid immediately attacked Ladybug, while Raven and Cat watched each other.

"Just you and me, kitty."

Cat snarled before lunging forward, his 'Catalysm' flying first. They both dodged and attacked, bouncing about the area while Ladybug and Dark Cupid flew and zipped above.

"You're mine!" Cat shouted, his hand sneaking past Raven's defenses- the 'Cataclysm' hitting her right wing. Raven grit her teeth, but held in her gasp. She had felt worse pain than that.

"Now you've got five minutes, kitty cat." But with her wing turning black and brittle, it gave Cat an edge. The teen jumped forward, pinning the girl to the ground.

"Cat Noir, her Miraculous!" Dark Cupid cried out.

"With pleasure! Finally, I'll find out who you are, Raven! Your little secret will be out of the bag!"

But before Cat got close to the choker, Raven grabbed his face and kissed him to break the spell. Even as the black vanished from his lips, the pair were lost in the moment... just relishing the feeling of being so close.

"Huh?" Cat slowly came back to reality. "What am I doing here?" His gaze looked around, seeing Ladybug on top of the fountain, before moving to the form underneath him.

"Oh my god, Raven!"

Before Cat can do anything else, Ladybug's yo-yo wrapped around his waist and pulled him up to her. "The quiver pin, Cat Noir! Now!" She threw Cat at Dark Cupid, the feline hero screaming the whole way. Luckily, he landed on top of Dark Cupid.

"Grab it! Grab the pin!" Ladybug yelled again, now on the ground with Raven, helping the girl up.

"Sorry, need that." Cat grabbed and tore the sash.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" Cat sassed, throwing the pin down to Ladybug.

"Awww, you shouldn't have..." She stomped on the pin to release the akuma. "No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!"

The ladybugs flew around, restoring the damage done, including Raven's wing.

"Raven, I am so sorry!" Cat looked ready to cry, his hands dancing just above the healed feathers.

"It's fine, kitty cat. Don't worry about it."

"I'm gonna worry! It looked painful!" The teen would have said more, but his ring beeped, Ladybug's earrings echoing the noise.

"You two had better go. Don't wanna risk identities coming out." Raven smiled at the two.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ladybug asked this time.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, I'm sure. I'll see you guys next time, okay?" The girl waved before hopping up to the roof and vanishing.

"I can't believe I did that..." Cat whimpered, watching after the girl.

"You were under an akuma's control- you wouldn't have done it if not for that." Ladybug tried to console him but Cat shrugged her hand from his shoulder and hopped away.

Raven sighed, landing in the park once she made sure it was empty. She felt bad, Cat just looked so broken... Raven knew he didn't do it on purpose- he was under the enemy's control. But the feline hero had a habit for worrying about the little things... While it was cute, it also made Raven feel as if she had up a wall between them, with everything in her civilian life... As she grabbed her bag, that thought struck her.

"A wall between us...! I've got it!"

Digging through her bag, Raven pulled out a blank piece of paper and a pen. The words flowed out, answering Adrien's poem in her own way.

"Perfect!"

"Hahaha! Can you believe all the horrible thoughtless things you said to Raven?" Plagg taunted playfully, munching down on his Camembert.

"You think it's funny, huh?" Adrien questioned glumly. He felt even worse after discovering the damage his 'Cataclysm' had done.

"What's the big deal? You've got so many cards from all these lady fans of yours! Take your pick!" The cat kwami dug himself into the pile of cards before he got distracted by the lightest of footfalls. Plagg looked wide-eyed through the papers from the window to Adrien, the teen lying facing down on his bed.

"You must be Adrien, right?" The teen sat up at the words, his eyes moving to the open window.

"Raven?"

The feathered heroine stood on the windowsill, smiling at the teen. She hopped down, landing silently. Adrien couldn't help his gaze moving to the healed wing she kept tucked just behind her back.

"I was asked to make a delivery from a special someone~" she winked, handing over a folding piece of paper. Adrien accepted the paper, his eyes never leaving Raven's face; he could feel a blush creeping onto his cheeks.

"T-t-thank you..."

"No problem- and Happy Valentines Day, Adrien!"

The heroine leapt back out the window, disappearing from sight. Adrien watched even after she was gone, the blush deepening even so. Plagg appeared from the pile of cards, landing on Adrien's shoulder.

"Since when does Raven make deliveries?" He sassed, poking at Adrien's cheek. This pulled the teen out of his stupor, down to the paper in his hand. He unfolded it, blue ink revealing itself.

'We will be reunited in the night

Like the day, when all that shines

Will be our infinite love

Despite this great wall that separates us

Love crosses right through

We are together, a rare force!

For you I will wait a lifetime

Because yes I love you madly

I will love you endlessly...'

Adrien was a beet red color by the time he finished. He had a solid feeling who had written this, but even so... holy cow.

"Anyone who writes as sickeningly sick as you must be your soulmate." Plagg groaned, a new piece of camembert in his grip.

"I'm pretty sure Ella wrote this..." Adrien whispered, his fingers tracing the inked words.

"How are you gonna choose between your superhero sweetheart and this girl?"

Adrien sighed heavily, flopping back down on his bed.

"I don't know... When I'm with Ella and think of Raven, I feel unfaithful. I want to run away into the night- to see Raven! It's like my heart is in a duel! But then when I'm Cat Noir, and I'm with Raven, I feel like I'm cheating on Ella... Ugh this is so confusing!" The teen rubbed the heels of his hands into his eyes, trying to figure out what was going on in his heart. Plagg watched on, mentally giggling. He couldn't wait for the day his user found out Raven and Ella were the same person.
