Sweet, sweet revenge.
Written by Jlargent.
Me: Originally, I was going to have a Marinette retribution story where she outs Lila's lies in front of everyone but I wound up writing myself into a corner so I decided to change the plot. Hopefully this helps. I do not own Miraculous Ladybug in any shape or form typical disclaimers apply.
Lila Rossi's POV
*Bang bang* "Prisoner 125709 you have a visitor." I groan at the sound of the baton hitting the steel door to my cell waking me up from my sleep. There's not much I could do in solitary confinement anyway aside from eating, exercising and sleeping. I put my hands out so the guard can place handcuffs on my wrists and he leads me down the narrow hallway, "The modern-day Alcatraz." That's what they call the maximum-security prison built on the tiny island of Pianosa and is a thousand miles from the mainland of Italy, it was built to house the worst criminals that Italy had to offer. And after I was convicted of terrorism by allowing myself to work with Hawkmoth, luckily for me my mother had pulled a few strings but I had to still serve 10 years for my actions without the possibility of parole.
I grumble at the memory, I was so close to winning, so close to making that bitch Marinette actually kill herself, I've done it before. Every time my mother and I enter a new city I quickly target someone that I can manipulate into committing suicide, the shock of seeing others faces when they realize that they drove their "Friend" to suicide was wonderful. I knew that if I hadn't been caught, I would've kept this going until my deathbed, and I had no regrets about my actions. Those stupid shrinks diagnosed me as a "High functioning sociopath with little to no morality about the consequences and have a superiority complex towards those that she deems lesser than her." Basically, they called me a murderer who knowingly commits these acts to prove her superiority towards society and has no compunctions about the consequences for my actions.
I was brought out of my thoughts when the door to the visitor's section is opened and I was escorted to the table and I was chained to said table. And sitting in front of me is that damned Marinette.
"Remember you have thirty minutes before you are escorted back to your cell." The guard tells me. Before heading to near the door so if I or Marinette were to act aggressively, she could step in and break it up.
"It's been awhile Lila." Marinette spoke, she was wearing a red sweater with black dots Ladybug I mentally growled at the memory of the hero that exposed me to all of Paris along with my boss Gabriel Agreste who was also exposed as the villain Hawkmoth. She was also wearing a matching skirt that reached to her knees and finally red heels, her hair was longer and tied into a braid that reached to the small of her back.
"I would say it was good to see you again but we both know it would be a lie." I said to her in a cold tone.
"Well I did tell you when you were sentenced that I would visit you in five years." Marinette said, I blinked at the comment. Had it really been five years? And why did she visit aside from keeping a promise? I mean aside from my monthly visits from my mother no one had bothered to visit. So why should she?
"Why? I mean for all intents and purposes you should not even be here let alone talk to me." I ask her surprised.
"Trust me, as much as I wanted to forget your existence, I was reminded that time can heal wounds and I'm mostly here to settle an unresolved issue that I wanted to complete before I walk out of this prison and never see you again." She tells me.
"Ha, that's a surprise. I didn't think you would have the guts to confront me again, not after I came close to making you kill yourself." I told her.
"Therapy helped in that regard. That, and my girlfriend encouraged me to do this." Marinette said making me raise my eyebrows in surprise.
"So little miss goody good is a dyke? I thought you were borderline obsessed with oh sweet Adrien." I mocked.
"I was, but shortly after you were tossed in here, I realized that I saw him like a brother. My parents actually adopted him, so that killed any and all attractions right there and then." She then scowled "I would also appreciate that you keep any derogatory words like that to yourself. This is the modern times, show some class. Not that you had any to begin with, seeing as you failed at being a gold digger." She replied, I growled at the verbal barb, but I kept my composure.
"So why did you come here in the first place? I know it's not to mock me for my life choices." I ask her.
"You're right, haven't you ever wondered how Ladybug collected all that evidence for your trial?" she asked me. Now that she mentioned it, it was rather fast that she was able to produce the evidence to the court about my crimes.
"I suppose that you're going to tell me?" I ask her rhetorically. Marinette motioned for me to lean closer. Curious, I leaned in and whispered four words…
"Simple, I am Ladybug."
It all made sense, that damned bitch was Ladybug all this time! I started to laugh at the revelation.
Curious, Marinette tilted her head "What's so funny Lila? Is the fact that I was Paris's hero that ludicrous?" she asks me.
I finish laughing "No, it's the fact that everyone will hound you when I tell them this. You made the biggest mistake of your life telling me that." I said smugly.
"Really? Because if I recall correctly, you're banned from even stepping foot in Paris and Italy, not to mention your reputation for chronic lying was spread throughout the media and various other industries. And even if you did tell someone who will actually believe the shit that comes out of your dirty mouth?" she points out bringing my celebration to a crashing halt in a fiery explosion. She stands up and motions to the guard that she was finished and spoke one last time "I win Lila, you're the girl that cried wolf and the wolf won." She said referencing the story that began my desire to lie to all.
"DAMN YOU LADYBUG! I WILL GET MY REVENGE YOU BITCH!" I screamed at her as the guards hold me back from trying to kill Marinette.
Marinette's POV.
"Well Lila's done." My girlfriend said as I exited the prison.
"It's been five years but damn getting closure feels good." I said as I kissed her on the cheek.
"Now that Lila's having a mental breakdown, what's next?" she asks me.
"I did promise you a night on the town in Venice and a morning of wild sex, right?" I tell her making her blush deeply before I pull her to the rental car to take us back to the mainland.
The End.
Me: You want to know who Marinette's girlfriend is? Well that's up to your interpretation. To be fair there are some good candidates for girlfriend material to Marinette, but instead of settling on a single character why not let the fans draw their own conclusions. That way I avoid any flames and criticisms from the fandom. Now that that's done, I think I have at least one more story to do before the end of the year. Here's hoping! Until next time Review and Favorite.
As always Hoody Hoo!
