Awwwww sh*t. Here we go again. ;) (Also Lila is gonna regret ever messing with Marinette, but that's a while away)

-Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir-

The stream of negative emotion was already thinning. Hawkmoth stood in his dark room and tried to feel for negative emotion, but the stream of marinettes emotions where already so thin. This young girl had such control of her emotion. Her strong negative feelings had been unparalleled, but now she was controlling her feelings with such ease. He couldn't let this girl out of his grasp. Quickly, Hawkmoth pulled out his phone and put a number into it. The dialing sounded and he lifted it up to his ear. Every second that passed, waiting for an answer, was a second the girl was less likely to be able to be akumatized. Finally the call recipient answered.

"Hello, Lila Rossi here." The voice resonating through the speaker of the device.

"It's me." Replied Gabriel, in a finalising confirmation. A silence followed, nothing said be either party. Hawkmoth could hear the patting of running footsteps, quietly in the background of the phone. The patting slowed to a stop. Then a quiet voice whispered through the phone.

"Which one?" In any other situation that question would mean very little, a simple question, maybe about a choice between a type of food or some relationship gossip, normal stuff, but in this situation it was a question of whether the person she was talking to was the famous fashion designer, and strict father, Gabriel Agreste, or the powerful, infamous, supervillian, Hawkmoth.

"The more urgent one." is how he replied. "I need you to do something for me." Hawkmoth's voice filled with urgency.

"What do you need me to do?" Eager to cause torment, as she always did, either at school or helping the supervillian to destroy Ladybug.

"You know miss Marinette Dupain-Cheng." He stated, not a question, but a fact. "She has shown great promise to become an akuma, but her feelings have greatly diminished. I need you to bring her feelings back to the dark. Humiliate her, threaten her, antagonise her. Do anything you need to. I want her akumatized!" And with that he hung up and turned his focus, once again, onto the thinning string of emotion.

-Miraculous-

"Hello, Lila." Marinette spoke, already annoyance entering her mind. She tried to keep her tone natural, but it was impossible. "Why are you here? What do you want?" Marinette saw a mischievous grin tug at Lila's lips, which confused her, as Lila only grinned at her when she was pretending to be nice around other people. Lila slid onto the bench, ignoring the obvious, and instant, discomfort Marinette was visibly feeling. Getting very close to Marinette, Lila put her arm around her, but said nothing.

"What do you want, Lila?" Marinette repeated, not wanting this meet up going on anymore than it had to. It was dangerous for multiple reasons. For the fact that she brought the worst out of Marinette, as well as other reasons. Marinette had figured out a while ago that Lila had some sort of alliance or deal with Hawkmoth. She had been akumatized so many times without any real reason for an akumatization. She had caused so many akumatizations herself, somehow doing so and not being revealed as a bad person or a liar. And, not to mention, her and Hawkmoth's mutual wish for the defeat of Ladybug. And now she was here, out of the blue, in her time of sadness and regret. What if Hawkmoth had sent an akuma after her? What if it was on its way now! Could he have sent Lila to try and get her more upset?

Lila grinned. "Oh I just wanted to see if you would approve of my next plan to seperate you from all your friends. After all, your friends are really gullible."

'So that's a yes', thought Marinette. She couldn't let Lila agrivate her. She slowly pushed herself off the bench, making sure to avoid eye contact with Lila. Standing up straight, Marinette concentrated entirely on walking upright and steadily. Lila's grin widened. She thought that she was getting under Marinette's skin. In a way, she was. Insulting her friends would normally enrage Marinette, but she was still putting all her focus into walking without feeling sick. She continued walking forward, step by quickened step. Lila chased after her and continued.

"And your parents!" Lila spouted out. "Even your family, who care about you so much, can be fooled into feeling ashamed of you." The mention of Marinette's family pierced her wall of concentration. She looked into Lila eyes, and saw satisfaction. Satisfaction of finally getting Marinette's proper focus. "I mean I've already shattered everyone's perfect image of you in the last year or so. Now a number of students in our class, who were once your friends, believe you to be aggressive, cruel and insulting. Even Alya and Nino have believed me in some situations." She said, purposely injecting pride into her voice. Marinette was starting to get aggravated. Lila continued grinning. Why does this devil take pleasure in my suffering?, Marinette thought. I had just realised she was a gigantic liar. How dare she insult her, and her family, and her friends. Every fibre in her body screamed to retaliate. To yell and scream, to Lila and the world, the truth about this she-devil. A sudden and terrifying realisation hit Marinette. It shook her body and she once again fell to her knees. She was mad. She was feeling disappointment, hate, and helplessness. Eyes full of fear she stared at the sky, frantically looking for a purple butterfly, which she had no doubt was nearby. Marinette tucked her head into her knees. She needed to calm down. She restarted her breathing meditation, trying to ignore Lila.

Lila's speech continued, "There is only one person who always believes you and also knows how much I lie, but he doesn't help you, does he?" She questioned, "All Adrien does is stand and watch as I tear your nice resolve to bits. Doesn't he care about you? After all... you care sooo much about him."

Marinette snapped. She stood up, aggression seeming to glow off her. She turned and stared menacingly into Lila's eyes, filled with unwavering hatred. Screw Lila. I have something on my mind and I feel like she might want to know. " I know why you're really here Lila. No matter what you say about just being here to upset me, I know your true intentions." Adrenalin and anticipation eradicating any feeling of dizziness from Marinette's mind. Confidence and anger entering her voice, Marinette continued. " I know that you work for Hawkmoth, Lila. I may have no physical proof but I am certain that Hawkmoth has sent you to keep me upset for long enough to get me akumatized. I know that both Ladybug and Chat Noir know about your affiliation with Hawkmoth because I told them. So now I say this. If you dare to hurt my friends and family I will do everything in my power to bring you down. A threat to match a threat. And the only reason I say all this to your face is because I know you can't use it against me. You can't tell anybody about this because if you do I can tell them what this conversation was about. Then... well, you won't exactly be going to any charities with princes will you." Marinette looked around at the sky and he eyes widened. "Now if you excuse me, there is a person who I would rather not meet today." And with that Marinette sprinted home to the bakery, running from a dark butterfly she had seen fluttering through the sky, leaving a shook and furious Lila in her wake.

-Miraculous-

Shooting through the bakery, Marinette bolted up the stairs into her home. Slamming the door behind her with a thunderous bang, she looked out the windowsill to see a butterfly squeezing through the air tight gap. Shit!. Marinette turned and leapt 3 steps at a time to get to her room. Crawling through the trap door, and closing it with a kick behind her, Marinette jumped onto her bed.

"Sorry Tikki!" Marinette whispered struggling for breath. Lifting her hands up to her ears, She ripped off the earrings and chucked them across the room, under her work desk. She couldn't risk the Miraculous getting into Hawkmoth's hands, so if removing them lowered that chance even the slightest bit, then it was worth it. Closing her eyes, a slight touch of calm entering her mind. She once again focused on her breathing. Breathing and heart beat slowing, she didn't realise that a purple butterfly had landed on her red hair band. Marinette felt a shiver cross down her spine as a deep and heavy voice invaded her thoughts and a purple outline shone above her face.

"Marinette. We meet again. I think it's about time you had the power to diminish your own negativity and push it onto others." His voice, containing an urge of attraction, was powerful and seemed to echoe off the walls of her head. "I can give you the power to force everyone to see the truth. You can cripple the power of those who seek to undermine you and your talents. You are a remarkable woman, with great control, who is worthy of such a task. All I ask in return is for Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous. Do we have a deal?"

A small part of her mind wanted to accept. To let her emotions run wild and release her animalistic side. The side of power and rage. To bad for Hawkmoth, this part of her mind was silenced by the rest of her mind that was screaming to turn him down. To regect the power and prepare for another akuma. "We have no deal! I will never help you steal their miraculous. They are our protectors. They will one day find you, defeat you, and confiscate from you, the butterfly miraculous, that does not rightfully belong to you, along with the Miraculous of the peacock! Now get out of mind, because you won't get anything from me." A wave of exhaustion rolled through her muscles, as the akuma was shot out of her hair bands and fazed through the window, back into the streets of Paris.

-Miraculous-

She had once agin refused to be akumatized. What could possibly give this girl so much power and confidence. Argh! Anger filled though Hawkmoth's veins. What made this thorn so different. She had discovered Lila, one of his sharpest tools, and had warned his enemies. She had single handedly unraveled a number of his plans to achieve his mission, with just her mind, without breaking a sweat. This girl was becoming a real threat. She needed to be dealt with. I need to akumatize somebody. Searching, once agin, for negative emotion. Feeling a stand, he reached for it. It was pitiful compared to what Marinettes had been, but it would have to do. The akuma veired towards the negative emotions.

"Lila Rossi, Marinette has embarrassed and defeated you. I now give you the power to make her pay and silence her."

"Yes Hawkmoth." Replied Lila, hate and anticipation fueling her rage. A dark heat bubbles over her, giving birth to Concealer.

-End chapter 6-

Alright, I hope you all enjoyed that, it was very enjoyable to write. Another akuma fight next chapter, so it should be a bit longer than usual. Writing these is a very good time filler while I wait for the episode Chat Blanc to go live this season. I can barely wait and I bet you can't either. Anyway have a nice day. Bye-bye!
