Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to: This is just a Chloe stan account now! This story takes place in an alternate universe where Miracle Queen never happened! Please enjoy!
Chloé could not believe her eyes. She turned around to look up at her boyfriend, Luka, who was standing back to back with her while his mouth hung open. Why did it feel like shit like this only ever happened to them?! It had just been a party in her hotel, a get together for all of their friends. And then, of course, an akuma had to show up and ruin the party. Chloé and Luka had hid in a nearby storage closet, figuring it would be the last place an akuma would look.
They spent the entire time sitting across from each other, placing bets on the fight. How long would it take? which superheroes were involved other than Chat Noir and Ladybug, if any? Was the akuma in their class? It was pretty typical of them. Especially if they were hunkered down like they were. Chloé bet it was an easy one and there would be no other heroes involved. Luka bet on Carapace, he was feeling lucky.
After what had seemed like forever, they finally felt the miraculous cure was over the entirety of Paris and figured it would be okay for them to leave. They had decided to go separate ways to try and find any of their friends and make sure they were alright. Chloé had gone left, Luka had gone right. They each were about to turn a corner when they saw it.
Chloé watched Ladybug de-transform and become Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Fucking figures. Luka. He needed to know.
Luka had seen Chat Noir become Adrien Agreste. No fucking way. Adrien was Chloé's best friend. He had to tell her.
They slowly stepped backwards away from the turn, each in shock, not daring to out themselves. Eventually, they found themselves back in front of the closet, bumping into each other's back.
"Babe."
"Chlo."
"I just saw..."
"I can't believe..."
"Don't tell me we just got double whammied."
"I think we did."
"There's something you should know...it's..."
"I need to tell you, he's..."
"Marinette."
"Adrien."
Over the two years that Chloé and Luka had been together, it had been rumored by their friends that they had a sort of mental connection to rival that of Ladybug and Chat Noir and made as good a team as Adrien and Marinette. Figures they were the same people. Either way, that sort of synchronization made them realize that they both had the exact same revelation at the same time. They cared deeply about their friends.
Marinette meant everything to Luka. He used to be in love with her, and even though he wasn't anymore, they were still really close and she was one of his most trusted friends. If he needed a favor, after Chloé or his sister, he went to Marinette. If she needed someone to cry with, he always offered his shoulder. He had always found a comfort in knowing that, by being Viperion, he was playing a part in her safety and making sure nothing bad happened to her. But she was Ladybug. She had so much responsibility on her shoulders and no way to back out of it.
Adrien was Chloé's best friend. They had a special kind of relationship that came from knowing each other their whole lives, knowing each other's dirty secrets and always having one another's back. Chloé had secretly hoped that Ladybug would never give Adrien a miraculous. The last thing Chloé ever wanted was something happening to him. She just could not live without him there to make her days a little brighter. But he was Chat Noir. Probably the most dangerous job on Earth. She had seen Chat Noir throw himself in front of arrows, blasts, beams, she'd seen him jump off buildings and hold back zombies with his body all for Ladybug and she'd never given it a second thought. But what if Marinette failed? Adrien would be gone. And he would be gone forever and she wouldn't have even had the chance to say goodbye.
Yes, it was at that moment that Luka and Chloé had the very same revelation that led them to the same conclusion.
No matter what, they would do everything in their power to protect Ladybug and Chat Noir.
They closed their hanging jaws and finally turned to face each other.
"Babe, I think it's best we don't tell anyone what we know."
"I couldn't agree more. Including those two." Chloé raised her eyebrows at his statement.
"Especially not those two," she corrected him. She crossed her arms. "So what do we do?"
"Anything we can." Luka sighed. "It just had to be them. We need to make sure no one finds out their secret identities. Especially not them. That's their number one rule and let's be honest, it's probably a good one. Adrien is compromised every other day thanks to his willingness to sacrifice himself for Marinette."
"Yeah don't remind me."
"Anyway, letting them find out is a bad idea. So we need to make sure it doesn't happen, along with making sure that no one else finds out."
"Okay, that sounds easy enough," Chloé admitted. She honestly thought this would be a lot more complicated. Those two morons managed to keep it a secret this long so how hard could it be?
"We also probably should keep them safe during akuma attacks."
"That's really a job for the Snake and Bee team." Another thing that they really weren't supposed to know. Well, everyone knew Chloé was Queen Bee, but Viperion's secret identity was supposed to remain secret. That didn't last long. Ladybug had put them on one patrol alone together and Chloé had figured it out after only ten minutes in. There was only one man in the world that flirted with Chloé Bourgeois like that. They quickly realized that if Chloé let on that she knew, Viperion would not be on the team again. So they kept their mouths shut. Looking back, it made sense that Ladybug kept putting them on patrols and picking them to fight together. Marinette knew what a great team Luka and Chloé were so it translated into Queen Bee and Viperion. When those two fought together, they dominated.
"Well, we have no guarantee Marinette will give us our miraculous."
"What if we steal them?" Luka raised his eyebrow at her and gave her a deadpan expression. He did not need to explain to her why that was a bad idea. "Yeah good point. We'll do what we can when we can."
"Do what you can to what?"
Chloé and Luka both snapped straight in shock. Adrien's voice had surprised them. They now noticed that Marinette and Adrien were making their way over, and the couple prayed that they didn't hear any of their conversation.
"Do what we can to find you guys, but here you are," Chloé swiftly covered. Luka breathed a sigh of relief at her quick thinking. "We were worried because we hadn't found anyone yet."
"Well, we should probably find Alya and Nino."
"Did you guys see any of the fight," Luka asked. "How was it?"
"It was pretty easy," Marinette said. She then realized her blunder and quickly added, "easy looking! That is! I mean, it looked pretty easy from where I was! Cause I was hiding!"
Luka and Chloé shared a glare. How had they not seen through this already? They had their work cut out for them.
"Marinette's right! I saw it too! Ladybug and Chat Noir took the akuma down easy!"
"So, no other heroes?"
"Nope! Just the two!"
Chloé smirked at Luka, knowing she won their bet. He rolled his eyes, he had to pay for dinner.
"Let's go find the rest."
Chloé and Luka followed behind Marinette and Adrien. It was only when Adrien said something complimentary and Marinette freaked out about it that Chloé stopped her boyfriend in the hallway with her hand.
"What is it, Chlo?"
"Marinette is in love with Adrien."
"Yeah." Weird of her to mention it. Everyone knew that so why bring it up? She didn't ask, it was a statement. She looked up at him with wide eyes before sighing and letting a defeated grimace cover her face.
"Chat Noir is in love with Ladybug."
Luka quickly put two and two together. Marinette was Ladybug and Adrien was Chat Noir. Therefore they were in love with each other and they didn't know it. Everyone knew that Ladybug had "another boy" that she was in love with and everyone knew that Adrien was too blind to see that Marinette liked him, so there was no way he was going to figure out that she was Ladybug. Luka now knew what Chloé was insinuating and he let his shoulders slump and his head fall in annoyance.
"We're going to have to get them together aren't we."
"Yup."
"On top of making sure that they don't reveal their identities or get themselves killed."
"Yup."
"Shit."
Yeah, they definitely had their work cut out for them.
Luka and Chloé joined Marinette, Adrien, Alya and Nino on a trip to the arcade. Apparently Alya really wanted to kick someone's butt in Dance Dance Revolution. Luka doubted that she could beat him and Chloé though. He had a thing with music and he and Chloé were always so in sync.
Alya and Nino gave it their best chance, but as soon as Chloé and Luka stepped up to the plate, it was over. Luka could pick up the music patterns easily and from there was able to predict which dance moves would follow. And Chloé could practically read his mind so she was right there with him hitting every move without any hesitation.
Alya's mouth dropped as they beat her score by leaps and bounds.
"Sorry, Alya," Luka offered. "I just got a thing when it comes to music." Alya snapped her jaw shut, not even giving Adrien and Marinette a turn before dragging everyone over to the next game. She was super competitive. It was a shooting game. She didn't even give Chloé and Luka the first game, not trusting how capable they were. Instead, Marinette and Adrien were her targets.
"Okay, every time one of us gets a point, we have to switch with our partner and they take over," she said. Marinette and Nino were up first, taking their spots and pressing play. The next five minutes were tense. Everyone's eyes were glued on the screens.
"C'mon, Alya," Nino cheered, watching her score and switching when necessary. Chloé and Luka were cheering them both on, not caring to pick a side. But they knew something that Alya and Nino didn't. They were facing off against Ladybug and Chat Noir. Whenever Marinette left off, Adrien picked right back up as if Marinette hadn't stopped playing. They seemed to have the same strategies and their hand offs were perfectly timed.
Alya gaped as she finally got shot and lost to the perfect team.
"No! This can't be!"
Adrien and Marinette giggled at her exasperation, glancing over at the other.
"Good job, Marinette!"
"Not so bad yourself, Adrien!"
"Pound-"
Chloé and Luka felt their stomachs drop as they watched Marinette and Adrien go in for their signature "Pound it". The only issue was, that was Ladybug and Chat Noir's thing! Not their civilian alter egos'. The world went into slow motion as Chloé and Luka sped over as quickly as they could, diving to intercept the fists. Luka grabbed Marinette's fisted hand and began shaking it awkwardly.
"Whoa that was so good Marinette!" The girl looked up at him curiously, since he was shaking her closed fist. Chloé didn't have much better, she had shoved Adrien's fist aside so she could go in and hug him.
"Adrien, you were amazing!"
"Um, thanks Chloé?"
The couple ignored the weird glances though in favor of sharing a relieved sigh.
It had been Chloé's turn to drive Luka to school. They alternated; on one day Luka would bike them to school, and on the other day, Chloé would pick him up in the limo. It was nice for them to get mornings together and if they were early enough on Luka's day's they would stop at the Dupain-Cheng bakery for breakfast and then walk the rest of the way to school.
On this particular day, when they stepped out of Chloé's limo, they noticed that Marinette was early.
"Well that's new," Chloé said out loud. "Especially with that akuma attack last night."
"She must have something due early this morning," Luka suggested.
"Shit, we had that project due today," Chloé groaned. "I completely forgot. Keeping an eye on those two all class get's tiresome. They were paired up this time round, I had to make sure there were no accidental fist bumps."
"Well, we're lucky that's all we've had to look out for."
As Marinette approached Adrien, a black cat came out of nowhere and got under her feet, causing her to trip. Adrien caught her and Luka and Chloé held their breaths. Was this it? The moment he finally realized his love for her?
Chloé's heart dropped when she saw the look on Adrien's face.
"Shit," she muttered.
"What," Luka asked.
"He's going to pun! Move!"
"Wow, Marinette, that was un-furr-tuna-" Adrien was cut off by Luka smacking his hand over his mouth from behind and before Marinette could say anything, she was whisked away by Chloé.
"Oh my gosh, Dupain-Cheng, I completely forgot about the project today!"
"Oh..." Marinette raised her eyebrows, suspicious for a moment since Chloé had dragged her away so quickly. "Well, I finished it this morning."
"Wow, you're so prepared!" Chloé turned to look back at Luka who had run away from Adrien before the blond could ask any questions. Her boyfriend gave her a thumbs up, which she returned.
Akuma attacks were tiring nowadays for Luka and Chloé. Since now, they always had to follow behind the superheroes and make sure everything went well. They were crouched behind a car, watching Ladybug and Chat Noir fight Mr. Pigeon for what must have been the fiftieth time. This fight looked easy.
"Do we have to stay for this one," Chloé whined. Luka reached out to hold her hand and nodded.
"You never know. Something could go terribly wrong." Chloé groaned and fell backwards so she was laying on the road.
"This get's so boring sometimes. These fights aren't even cool to watch cause I have to worry my ass off."
Finally, Ladybug had cleansed the akuma and used her Miracle Cure. Luka stood up and began to walk away.
"Looks like we're all good."
It took Chloé a second to get up to follow him and when she finally had stood, she saw Chat Noir walk into one alley way and Ladybug approach it from a roof. Shit they were going to see each other de-transform! Chloé didn't even call out for Luka before running towards Ladybug.
"Oh my gosh, it's Ladybug," she called out. Just in time too! Ladybug turned to look at Chloé just as a green light filled the alleyway. "Thank you so much for all you do!"
"Um, thanks?" Ladybug looked very confused as to why Chloé Bourgeois was approaching her now, she hadn't even known she was around.
"Yeah, you're so amazing! With that wham, boom, punch!" Chloé had no idea what she was saying. She just really needed for Adrien to come out of that alley now! "And then with the sha-bam! It was so cool!"
"Um, thank you, Chloé. But I have to go-"
"No," Chloé exclaimed as Ladybug turned back towards the alley. C'mon, Adrien! "I mean are you sure you want to go into that dirty stinky alley and not somewhere else!" She was being very loud and obvious, hoping that Adrien would hear and catch on. "I mean you need to de-transform right?" It was at that moment that Adrien finally took the hint and slunk out of the alley, discreetly walking in the opposite direction. "You know what? Never mind! I'll just go! Bye."
And with that, Chloé walked away, leaving a very confused Ladybug. Luka had been watching the whole interaction from a few yards away.
"What was that all about?"
"Adrien had de-transformed in that alley. One of them would have seen each other for sure. God, that was so embarrassing!"
"Nah, I think it was adorable," Luka teased. "Especially when you went 'wham, boom, punch'." Chloé groaned and smacked her forehead with her hand.
"Shut up or you're not coming over tonight, Snake Boy."
The next akuma happened in the middle of the night right by Luka's home. As soon as he heard the explosion, he sent Chloé a text and ran outside. He could see Ladybug and Chat Noir duking it out with an akuma that had some sort of blaster. It wasn't a ray, whatever it shot was solid and did a whole lot of damage.
Luka got as close as he could without being seen, hiding behind a bench. He kept his eye on the akuma, trying to pinpoint where it was aiming. This one was tough and he figured Marinette could sense it too. She called on her lucky charm, a neck tie and began searching for a way to use it.
What she didn't see was that the akuma saw this as the perfect opportunity to aim its blaster right at her. Luka's stomach dropped as he saw Adrien realize it too. He was going to jump right in front of the shot and take it for her. Luka only thought of Chloé and how crushed she would be if something happened to Adrien. He remembered the look on her face when he told her that Adrien was Chat. He knew that look. That was the look he had felt every time he realized Marinette was in danger and he couldn't do anything to stop it. Because what if Ladybug couldn't fix it and she lost Adrien for good?
Chat Noir was quick, but Luka was quicker. When Chat stepped in front of Ladybug to take the hit, Luka leapt in front of him, taking the blast right in his stomach and being thrown aside.
And the world went black.
...
Chloé had gotten the text and left her hotel immediately, going straight to Luka's house to be with him in case something happened. When she got there, the battle was still raging, Ladybug had used her lucky charm and she was currently trying to use it. But for whatever reason, the akuma was never distracted enough for her to use her charm. Chloé began looking around for Luka, sure that he was hiding somewhere.
And then her eyes landed on him. A limp mess that had clearly been thrown into the side of a building before falling to the ground. He wasn't moving and even though Chloé was a good distance away, she knew why. Her stomach dropped, her eyes widened and she couldn't help the blood-curdling scream that came out of her mouth.
"LUKA!"
The akuma heard her scream and turned to look at her, giving Ladybug the advantage she needed and quickly finishing the battle. Ladybug purified the akuma and then turned to look at where Chloé was, a few feet away from her boyfriend's body on her knees. The two heroes made their way over to her, placing one of their hands on each of her shoulders. Ladybug wasted no time in using her Miracle Cure and in the blink of an eye, Luka was standing in front of them all perfectly okay.
"Um, hey guys. What happened?"
He took notice of Chloé and the way she was crying and remembered what he had done. She stood up to face him with wide eyes and a runny nose.
"Chloé-"
"You idiot! What did you do?! Why didn't you wait for me?! How stupid are you?! You could have been killed!"
"He saved me." Chloé turned in shock to look at Chat Noir. "I was going to take the bullet for Ladybug and he jumped right in front of me." Chloé of course, knew exactly what that implied, and when she turned back to look at Luka, the suspicion that he had done it for her was only confirmed. She wrapped her arms around him and buried her head in his chest.
"Don't you ever do that again!" Luka hugged her back, letting his head rest on hers. Only he could hear the small "thank you" that she muttered.
Marinette was having a rough day, Chloé could tell. She didn't know what from and she had no way of guessing. But it was clear that she was down. For some reason, she didn't tell Alya about whatever it was and the girl didn't ask. Chloé found this very suspicious. She glanced back a couple rows and saw Lila smiling. That was one guess but she had no way of proving it. Chloé secretly hoped that for Lila's own good she never caught that fox doing anything to Ladybug - Chloé's hero.
When the bell rang and it was lunch time, Chloé followed Lila discreetly, trying to see what she did. She watched Lila follow Marinette into the bathroom and then come out a few minutes later. Chloé did not hesitate to go into the bathroom to make sure that Marinette was okay. When she opened the door, she saw Marinette bent over a sink, pale and sad looking. She also saw the akuma making it's way into the bathroom from the window. Marinette didn't. Ladybug was about to be akumatized.
Chloé moved quickly and without a word, grabbed the akuma out of mid air, letting it take her over.
...
Chloé opened her eyes. She was on the floor at school. She didn't remember anything about how she got there. She looked up and around, seeing Ladybug and Chat Noir standing in front of her and Luka a few feet behind them.
"What happened," she asked Ladybug. She vaguely remembered being in the bathroom and being afraid but she didn't remember what about.
"You were akumatized." Chloé hung her head in shame. Not again. She had been so good about avoiding it and not causing problems. Ladybug was probably so disappointed in her. The hero in question put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look up again. "You saved your classmate, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She was about to be akumatized and you took it instead. Chloé that was so brave of you!"
She remembered now. She could see Marinette behind the mask. Her eyes shone with gratefulness and appreciation. Chloé wanted to tell her. She wanted to let her know it was the least she could do. She wanted to tell her that she would always have her back and that she was sorry she treated her like crap in the past. But she couldn't right now. This wasn't Marinette. That was a conversation for when she was de-transformed and she saw them again.
"Anything for Marinette," Chloé said instead, knowing that she would believe it. The heroes bid goodbye and then disappeared so they could get back to class. Only Chloé and Luka knew that though. Her boyfriend approached her, helping her up.
"I'm proud of you Chloé," he told her, wrapping his arms around her. "But it was still scary."
"Was I a tough akuma?" Chloé couldn't stop herself from asking, wondering what she became.
"Nah. You became 'Human Shield' with the power to throw yourself in front of people." he teased as he swung his arm over her shoulder.
"Ha, ha, very funny!"
He would eventually tell her months in the future that she actually became "Guardian Angel", an akuma with the sole purpose of finding Marinette Dupain-Cheng and keeping her safe.
Parties were always fun when the Akuma Class was involved. This time, they had all met up at Alix's house and the party sure was a good one. This party would go down in Francoise Dupont history as one of the best and most memorable for multiple reasons. And it started with a game of truth or dare.
The Akuma Class plus Luka all sat in a circle with a bottle in the middle. The game went by rather quickly. Nino had to admit that he was a Swifty, Sabrina had to whisper something dirty in Alix's ear, Kim had to go into great detail about his first kiss ever, and Alya had to give a lap dance to anyone of her choice. She did not choose Nino like everyone thought, but instead chose Marinette. That video was on everyone's Snapchat stories. Marinette was as red as a tomato and Alya was having the time of her life.
That meant it was now Alya's turn. She spun the bottle and it landed on Marinette.
"How fitting. Okay, Marinette, truth or dare?" After the experience she just went through, she quickly picked truth. "Okay..." Alya chose not to pick anything Adrien related, but what she did ask was much worse. "Were you ever a miraculous holder?" If anyone was paying attention, they would have realized that Marinette, Luka and Chloé all had the same reaction.
"Pssshhh...no?" Luka and Chloé had to stop themselves from face palming. How. In. The. World. Had this girl not been figured out yet.
"No? Are you sure," Alya pressed, sensing she was onto something.
"Yeah, she's Queen Bee," Chloé quickly said. That made everyone laugh and quickly drop the subject. That was a relief. The game continued. Ivan was dared to shave his chest, Alix was dared to eat pudding without using her hands, Juleka had to list her fetishes (which was something that Luka left the room for), and Max had to sit with his thumb in his mouth until it was his turn again. Eventually it was Alya's turn again. It landed on Adrien.
"Dare," he said, feeling brave.
"Okay. I dare you to kiss your crush."
Fucking Alya. Chloé knew what she was trying to do. She was trying to get Adrien to kiss Marinette. Which was a good plan. If anyone else knew that Marinette was Ladybug! But Luka and Chloé knew that Adrien would tell the truth about his crush on Ladybug. And Marinette would one hundred percent come clean. Nope, no, no, no! Not acceptable.
"My crush isn't here," Adrien told the group.
"Oh come on! You've never had a crush on anyone in the class."
"Luka, I have to kiss him," Chloé muttered to her boyfriend. "Alya won't be satisfied until it happens and he cannot come clean!"
"What, you definitely don't have to do that," he whispered back. No matter what the circumstances, he didn't like the idea of his girlfriend kissing another boy ever.
"Come on Adrien, you have to kiss someone! It's a dare! So who do you have a crush on."
"It's..."
"I'm doing it."
"You're not doing it."
"It's actually La-"
And everyone went silent as Luka leaned across the circle and kissed Adrien full on the mouth. Only for a second and then he pulled away leaving everyone in silent shock. Especially Adrien.
"There, Alya," Luka said calmly. "He said his crush isn't here. You got your kiss and Adrien doesn't have to share anything he doesn't want to."
And that was how, for a month straight, everyone thought Luka wasn't.
It finally happened. Lila finally slipped up.
It was Luka's day to ride him and Chloé to school. Neither had breakfast so, even though they were late, they stopped for at the Dupain-Cheng bakery anyway. So, when they walked into school, the place was empty, except for Lila and Marinette standing in the middle of the court yard. The couple stopped, frozen, watching the interaction.
"What did I tell you about staying away from Adrien. I haven't been lying this entire time just for you to ruin all my hard work." Lila pointed an accusatory finger right at Marinette's chest, pushing her back slightly.
"C'mon, Lila. You can't control him like that. He's a human being and he doesn't belong to you."
"He does belong to me! He's mine and you can't have him Marinette." The blue haired girl put her hand on Lila's shoulder gently. That was Ladybug, always trying to be kind to people even when they didn't deserve it.
"Lila, you're acting like his father. The last thing Adrien needs is someone else like that. You need to back off of that. Adrien will like you ten times more if you act like a friend."
"No he loves me already! It's your fault he won't admit it."
"Lila, how is it my fault? I haven't done anything."
"You're stealing Adrien away from me, you bitch."
And then she did it. Lila slapped Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Lila slapped Ladybug. In front of Chloé. She dropped her bag of pastries and took her earrings off.
"Babe," she said, getting Luka's attention. "Hold my hoops."
She dropped them in her hand and then walked right up to Lila. And Luka watched his girlfriend kick her ass. He ignored the sounds of the absolute ass whooping that Chloé was laying down for a moment to pinpoint the cameras in the room. Oh yeah. No way Lila was getting out of this one.
The battle against Hawkmoth. It had finally arrived. There was just one problem. It was a sneak attack. After the latest akuma, a really hard one, Hawkmoth had shown up out of the blue. And with Mayura too. Luka and Chloé watched in disbelief as Adrien and Marinette were beaten down harder and harder. Marinette couldn't go get another miraculous, one of them would follow her. They had no options.
"I'm stealing a miraculous," Chloé said, not even giving Luka a chance to object before she began stomping over to the Dupain-Cheng bakery.
Chloé marched up the stairs into the Dupain-Cheng household and practically kicked the door in. They found Marinette's parents staring wide-eyed at the TV.
"What are you doing here," Tom demanded.
"Your daughter is Ladybug and I'm here to steal my miraculous back so she doesn't die," Chloé deadpanned, not offering any more of an explanation before turning to go to Marinette's room. Luka was just left to flounder after her, trying to keep up.
"You know, you're breaking every rule right now. If this isn't the final battle, we could have just screwed everything up," Luka told her as Chloé climbed into Marinette's room.
"If we don't do something, this will be the final battle," Chloé told him. She stood in the middle of the room, looking around. "Pollen," she screamed. "If you can hear me, Ladybug is dying and I need you. And Snake Boy is here too!"
"My Queen!" Luka jumped a foot in the air as Pollen appeared next to him suddenly. "What are you doing here?"
"Ladybug and Chat Noir are fighting Hawkmoth but they can't get here. We need to help them now!" Pollen quickly revealed the location of the Miracle Box, giving them their miraculous.
"It'ss good to ssee you again Luka," Sass greeted.
"Good to see you too, Sass."
Luka took Chloé's hand in his own. They were both nervous of course. They had no clue what they were rushing into. She stood on her tiptoes to give him a reassuring kiss on the lips. They separated and nodded firmly.
"Pollen! Buzz on!"
"Sass! Scales slither!"
...
Viperion and Queen Bee stood back and watched as the Miracle Cure fixed everything. They had gotten there just in time. By the time they arrived, Hawkmoth had already revealed himself to be Gabriel Agreste, which sent Adrien fumbling, and Ladybug had no idea why. And it was at that moment that Viperion and Queen Bee showed up, new suits and everything, to help tip the scales.
As Gabriel Agreste was forced into the back of a cop car, Viperion turned to his girlfriend.
"By the way, my Queen, looking pretty good."
Chloé finally looked down at herself, she hadn't gotten a chance to yet. The suit was definitely different. The stripe pattern on her torso was the same, but the top of the suit was a halter top, revealing her shoulders. The yellow of the torso cut off on her thighs, making her look like she was wearing a bodysuit, leading to more black that ended at thigh high yellow boots instead of her usual black ones.
Chloé looked up at her boyfriend and smirked. "Not looking so bad yourself."
Viperion's new suit was a dark blue with light blue piping running down to a light blue pointed belt. The sleeves of the suit only came to his elbows, much like his usual jacket and leather gloves covered his hands. The biggest difference was-
"I have a hood now!" Luka grabbed the object in question and brought it up over his head. "This is so cool!"
"Thanks for the help you two, but how did you get your miraculous?"
Chloé and Luka were pulled out of their conversation to an approaching Ladybug, all re-charged up. They shared a glance.
"Um...Pollen and Sass found us and told us you needed our help," Luka offered. Ladybug raised an eyebrow but before she could say anything, she was cut off by Chat Noir's hand on her shoulder.
"M'lady...Now that Hawkmoth is defeated, do you think we could reveal our identities? I'm having a really rough day and it would make everything so much better."
Luka and Chloé held their breaths. This was it! This was the moment they had been waiting for! The reveal! The moment they would finally end up together...And the day Luka and Chloé could stop worrying so much.
"I don't know Chat...I'm not sure it's a good idea-"
Ladybug was cut off with a very loud groan.
"Oh my GOD!" Chloé could not stop herself. "Adrien, it's Marinette! Now just fucking kiss so that we can all go home and Luka and I can stop working so damn hard to cover for your stupid asses."
Suffice it to say, Luka and Chloé had a lot of explaining to do.
