The clock was nearing half past 7 pm and Chloé knew she had to get going soon. She had Pollen by her side and instead of going out in an alley and transform, she decided to do so inside her bedroom instead. She had made that mistake once, and she was not going to repeat it.

As the clock finally struck 7:30 pm, she turned to Pollen who nodded shortly at her. The kwami knew what was about to happen and Chloé could barely keep it together anymore. She was about to transform for the first time in four months.

"Pollen, buzz on." Chloé said and couldn't hide the happiness she felt as she said those words.

It felt a bit strange to be Queen Bee again, but not in a bad way. It almost reminded her of when she learnt how to ride a bike. It took some time to get used to it, but that knowledge would never fade even if she didn't ride a bike in a very long time.

She walked over her bedroom floor and went outside on the balcony. As she was looking out over Paris from where she stood she almost forgot the reason to why she had transformed in the first place. She wanted to go for a run, jump from one roof to another and just enjoy the feeling of being Queen Bee again. But she didn't.

She got the information from Ladybug about where they were going to meet and headed there right away as she knew it would take a while for her to get there.

They were meeting outside of Paris, in a forest not so far away. It felt like a strange place to meet at. But it was probably safer out there than what it would be if they all stood in an alley or something here in Paris. Chloé knew first hand how dangerous that could be and that was something she'd preach about from now on.

Chloé left Paris behind and headed deeper into the forest and stopped at the place Ladybug had told her where they all would meet. She wasn't the least surprised that she was the only one there. She was the fastest, or at least she claimed to be. But her being there before anyone else made it feel like there was some truth in it.

It didn't take long for anyone else to show up and the moment the blue hero noticed Chloé standing there a confused expression showed up at her face.

"Queen Bee? Are you back?" Bunnyx asked and sounded just as confused as she looked.

"Yes." Chloé answered.

Bunnyx gave Chloé a long stare before she turned around and walked a little to the side. As she was walking away, Chloe could hear Bunnyx say something under her breath, but Chloé didn't say anything about it.

Bunnyx was one hero that Chloé didn't want much to do with when she knew that Bunnyx messed around with time quite a lot. It almost felt as if Bunnyx knew more then she let on and that scared Chloé a little. Sometimes she imagined that Bunnyx knew all of her darkest secrets and just waited for the right moment to tell everyone about them. So Chloé stayed as far away from Bunnyx she could for her own sake.

A minute went by before the next hero showed up at the spot.

"Hello Bunnyx!" Pigella said and smiled at the blue hero who seemed too deep in her thoughts to actually notice that someone was talking to her and as Pigella didn't get a reply she turned around and looked surprised when she noticed Chloé there. "Oh, Queen Bee? Are you back?"

Chloé nodded as the pink hero walked closer.

"It's nice that you are back. Did you have a nice vacation?" Pigella asked.

A vacation? Was that what Ladybug had told the other heroes about the reason to her absence? She had not been on a vacation, but she guessed that was the best explanation Ladybug could come up with unless Pigella just assumed that she had been gone on a four-months long vacation.

But before she had a chance to ask about it someone came running through the forest and headed right toward the place where Chloé and Pigella stood at. They exchanged a glance before they slowly backed away when King Monkey came out from the forest and ran toward them with no hint of stopping.

But before he reached the place they had been at moments earlier a portal showed up and Pegasus stepped out of it like it was nothing. He quickly turned toward King Monkey who, the moment he noticed Pegasus standing there, slowed down and finally stopped mere meters away.

"That's cheating!" King Monkey screamed.

"We didn't decide any rules, so therefore it's not cheating." Pegasus explained.

King Monkey just stood there and stared at Pegasus. It seemed as if he had a lot to say, but remained quiet. It didn't take long before King Monkey turned around and walked away from the place he stood at and even if it seemed like he didn't want to talk any more with Pegasus, Pegasus didn't seem to get the memo as he started follow after King Monkey.

It didn't take long for Pegasus to start a conversation with King Monkey and soon it seemed like nothing bad had happened between them.

"The power of friendship." Chloé muttered to herself.

"What did you say?" Pigella asked.

"Nothing." Chloé answered.

She sat down on a tree that had fallen over and waited for the rest of the heroes to arrive. It didn't take long as everyone seemed to respect Ladybug and show up at the time she had told them to be there.

Some of the heroes didn't notice that Chloé was there and the ones who did seemed just as surprised as Pigella had been when she first had noticed her. It didn't bother Chloé how many of the heroes who it was that greeted her or not.

When Rena Rouge arrived, it didn't take Chloé long to understand that something was about to happen and she knew she was not going to like it at all.

"So, you are finally back." Rena Rouge said and glared at Chloé with a suspicious look.

"Yes." Chloé said and ignored the looks from the other heroes.

"I didn't know that." Rena Rouge said and looked to the other heroes to see if that was something they knew, but quickly understood that no one knew of Chloé's return. "That's a bit strange."

"Why is that?" Chloé asked.

"You return the day after Chat Noir makes his first appearance in three years." Rena Rouge explained.

"Are you saying that I'm on Hawk moth's side?" Chloé asked and couldn't hide how upset she got over the accusation.

"Just speculating." Rena Rouge said.

Chloé stood up from the tree she had been sitting on and looked around at the other heroes. No one seemed to look at her with the same suspicion as Rena Rouge did, but it didn't make her the least relaxed.

"Well, if someone is on Hawk Moth's side it's most likely Queen Bee." Bunnyx said and everyone turned to her.

"What?" Chloé asked.

Bunnyx was about to explain when a beeping sound was heard and everyone turned to look at Pegasus who seemed a little surprised before he pointed at his Miraculous. He ran away to hide so that he could detransform and when he came back a moment later as Pegasus everyone turned back to Bunnyx.

For a moment Bunnyx just stood there and looked at everyone as if she wondered why they were all looking at her. A few seconds later it looked like she finally realised the reason for it.

"Did I say it out loud?" she asked the heroes.

"Yes." Chloé almost screamed at her. "You did."

Bunnyx nodded once.

"I'm just... Seeing it the logical way..." Bunnyx slowly said before she turned around and acted as if she had something else to do than being a part of the conversation.

Chloé just stared at Bunnyx wondering why she had even said anything to begin with. She knew she would never ever betray Ladybug the way Chat Noir had and she hoped that the other heroes would understand that as well.

"I think it's more suspicious that Chloé Bourgeois where at the roof with Chat Noir." Pegasus said.

"Why?" Viperion asked surprised.

"Yes, now that you mention it. She actually returned to the roof later." Rena Rouge said.

"What did she do?" Pegasus asked.

"She was walking around and when she noticed me she pointed out some written words on the door and claimed it hadn't been there before." Rena Rouge explained.

"What did it say?" Viperion asked.

"Third of June." Rena Rouge answered.

"You think Chloé is on Hawk Moth's side?" King Monkey asked.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if it was true." Rena Rouge said.

"I don't think Chloé is on Hawk moth's side." Pigella said.

"Neither do I." Purple Tigress agreed.

Chloé just stood there in silence and heard them talking. She couldn't understand how they accused her of being on Hawk Moth's side and then, without even knowing it, accused her yet again. If she hadn't been there, surrounded by them, she would have laughed about it. But instead she stayed quiet and hoped that they would realise how stupid their conversation were.

"She did get attacked yesterday." Carapace said.

"Who did?" King Monkey asked.

"Chloé Bourgeois." Carapace said.

Rena Rouge turned around and was about to ask Carapace something, probably about what he just had told them all. But before she had a chance to speak someone else spoke instead.

"By who?" Pigella asked.

"Some guy. I don't know who it was and before I had a change to catch him he got away." Carapace explained.

"You have to be kidding me!" Chloé said.

She couldn't hide the anger she felt after hearing that the guy that had hurt her got away. She already had enough problems in her life and worrying about that guy was a problem she didn't want.

"You couldn't catch him? Don't you understand how terrified Chloé have to be knowing that the guy that attacked her is still out there, probably waiting for her to show up that that he can finish what he started?" Chloé said.

"Doesn't she have body guards?"

Chloé didn't know who said it and she couldn't care either. She just knew that the whole world was against her at this moment and there was nothing she could do to fix it.
