AN: Apologies for the long wait. Just a lot of things going on. But here it is. By the way, I am shaking in anxiety about the Chat Blanc episode. Also a bit of a surprise at the end of this chapter.

*THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP*

That was the sound of Marinette's beating heart. Everything is quiet around her, even though there are a lot of shouting in the background. But to her, a deep silence has formed around her as she gazes upon the terrified eyes of the person that will make her life into a living hell.

She didn't know what to do. Her entire being was in a state of war. On one side she's crying out for blood, to end the Liar before what Fate showed them becomes a reality. While her other half is crying for her to release Lila. Because, while it is true that she makes her life extremely difficult with her lies, but that doesn't mean that she deserves to go down like this.

Marinette had always hoped that Lila would eventually see the error of her ways and confess to all the people she had lied to all she had done to them and her. But after what Fate showed them…

'Am I really one to decide who lives and… and…' Marinette couldn't finish that thought as the concept of killing is disturbing her deeply. During the course of their superhero career, Hawkmoth hasn't killed a single person. Hurt, yes. Mentally torment, yes. But downright killing someone isn't even on Hawkmoth's ledger.

Right now. She is to decide if she is strong enough to forgive someone who will eventually ruin her entire life, or go the easy way and cut away the cancer in her life immediately.

Her attention was then snapped onto the "Victim" who was pounding her prison frantically. Marinette turns her gaze upon one Lila Rossi. Their eyes met one another, Marinette's was filled with worry, hesitation, and contemplation. As for Lila's, hers was entirely consumed with fear, and sorrow, as well as flowing with tears.

Marinette couldn't hear what she's saying, but she can feel what it was. She can feel the regret, pain, and misery of her right now. Marinette can accept that Lila may never change for the better, but she isn't one to decide on who deserves to live and vice versa. Marinette places a hand on the transparent wall of Lila's prison and she offered a small smile at her.

"I choose… to forgive." Marinette declares as she presses the Blue button.

*HISSSSSSSS*

Suddenly, something seemed wrong after she pressed the button. Lila's prison begins to lock into place and hovers slightly above the floor and slowly begins to head towards the Viewing window of the Black Hole.

Lila's eyes widen at this and starts to try and break herself free with panicked actions. As for Marinette, she was still flabbergasted at what just happened. She was sure that she pressed the blue button, didn't she?

Her gaze went to the console and her eyes widen when she saw the buttons begin to shift and change. The blue button that was on the left changed and is revealed to be the black button and vice versa. Her eyes then went towards Fate who was barely restraining his laughter.

"Hmhmhmhmhm… I'm sorry Marinette, but given the person that you are, I already expected that you would press that. But, I cannot in good conscience let that affront against the very cosmos itself to go free, believe me this is the lesser of two evils." Fate declared as he continues to watch Lila's prison reach the viewing window with a smirk on his hooded face.

"TIKKI, SPOTS ON!" The cry was heard as Lila's prison was then wrapped by Ladybug's Yoyo.

"PLAGG, CLAWS IN!" Was then heard next.

"CATACLYSYM!" Chat Noir uses his power of destruction to destroy the barrier that separated him from helping Marinette earlier. Chat Noir then uses his staff to try and destroy Lila's barrier, but it wasn't enough as not even a dent or crack is shown.

Fate then gave a deep sigh as he shakes his head.

"Why do you persist in setting that monster free? You know that she will still try and ruin your life, you know that, right Marinette?" Fate says.

"THAT ISN'T FOR YOU TO DECIDE!" Ladybug's enraged shout stunned everything and everyone into silence, even the viewing window changed from the sinister Black Hole, to the calm reaches of the cosmos. As well as Lila's prison stopped moving.

"What did you just say to me Marinette?" Fate's reply was almost but a whisper, but there was an underlying threat to it that set her and Chat Noir on edge. Fate then begins to slowly but menacingly approach the two superheroes. The audience couldn't do anything but remain frozen by the amount of fear they are feeling from Fate's menacing presence.

"I said. That isn't for you to decide!" Marinette's voice was firm as she and Chat Noir de-transformed.

"Why Marinette? I am curious… Why do you insist in protecting that abomination?"

"Because nobody gets to decide on who lives and… dies…" Marinette says as she struggled to say the last word.

"Oh? And how can you be sure into making sure she doesn't ruin your life like all the others?" Fate says as he shows again all the times Lila tried to ruin her life. But Marinette remains strong and firm.

"That's just it. That's not Lila. Because our universe's Lila is here, being treated like a monster by things that she hasn't even done!" Marinette exclaims.

"Yet." Fate added.

"It doesn't matter! I know that Lila might not change her ways. But she's still a person, not a monster! The only monster in here… IS YOU!" Marinette shouted the last two words.

In a blink of an eye, Fate was now in front of Marinette completely towering over her petite form.

"You, are out of line… mortal." Fate said in a godly like booming voice as he gazes down upon Marinette.

"And you are overstepping your own. Fate." Marinette's stance remained strong as she met Fate's burning gaze.

"I don't care if Lila hurts me. Because I know that I have real friends and loved ones that will always remain at my side. You showed them the truth about Lila and that's enough for me. So let her out now!" Marinette cried out as she catches her breath, mentally exhausted. Fate's shoulders begin to shake. Adrien's eyes widen as he fears that Marinette may have pushed Fate too far, he grabs her hand and puts her behind him, fearing the worst may happen to his Lady.

"Hmhmhmhmhmhmhm…. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Fate begins to laugh. Not a sinister laugh, but a laugh that was filled with relief and joy.

Everyone just stood there confused. The intense and menacing aura now completely gone. It took Fate a few minutes to finish laughing and when he did, he snaps his fingers and Lila was released from her cage. She dropped to ground and stares at Fate and Marinette in… something completely unknown in Lila's face.

"Uhh… Fate?" Marinette asks cautiously, fearing that one wrong move might set him off. But Fate just stares at Marinette in joy, well joy in his eyes and his visible lower part of his entire face was in a warm smile.

"You truly are extraordinary Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Plenty of people would choose the other way and won't look back to regret their decisions." Fate says as he claps his hands and everything was reset back to normal.

"So… this has been just a test?" Adrien questions.

"No Adrien, this was no simple test of character. It's a privilege that a Writer can bestow upon someone should they prove worthy of that privilege."

"And what's that?" Marinette asks.

"A wish." Fate answers simply. That answer alone stunned everyone inside Fate's domain, especially one Master Fu.

"What kind of wish?" Master Fu asks. Curious and at the same time cautious at what Fate is implying.

"Hmhmhmhm…. Do not worry yourself Fu. While the power of the yin and yang miraculous is impressive. It doesn't compare to this." Fate says as he claps his fingers and a giant book appears before him. The book's appearance alone drew everyone's attention to it. The book was scaled for Fate's hands and the design of the book was like viewing the cosmos. Stars and galaxies decorated the cover of the book itself.

"This. Is the true source of a Writers power. The Book of the Cosmos. Every Writer across the Multiverse has one and it is our very being. Within the pages of this book are the stories of every single living being across the Multiverse. And as Writers, we alone can change its course of history." Fate explains as everyone stares in awe at the very book that can create alternate realities of themselves.

"And Marinette has proven herself worthy for this very privilege. So, what is your wish Marinette?" Fate asks, with a cosmic looking quill in hand, ready to write what Marinette wants in the whole Multiverse.

As for the girl herself, in all honesty she truly doesn't want anything. She already has everything she could want. A loving family, true friends, and… a loving boyfriend and perhaps a future husband. She blushes at that part, already thinking on her and Adrien's future. Suddenly a memory hits her about her lover.

'My mom disappeared from my life when I was younger.' Adrien says to her long ago. And seeing the expecting look on Fate's face, Marinette has a feeling that he already knew what she wants to wish for. Marinette closes her eyes and takes a deep breath and motions for Fate to come closer to whisper something in his ear, or hooded ear.

Every person in the cosmic being's realm stood in anticipation at what their friend has wished for. Adrien more so at what his Lady is thinking, while Master Fu was smiling as well, already knowing at what the Ladybug holder's wish is, and he has never been prouder at choosing Tikki's chosen.

After whispering what she wanted to wish for, Fate just quietly chuckled as he prepares to write in the Cosmic Book.

"And that everyone, is why there can only be one true Marinette in the entire Multiverse." Fate says before beginning to write something in the book. And as he finishes writing, the book begins to glow a warmly light.

(Prime Miraculous Universe) (Agreste Manor: Emily's Chamber)

Within the confines of the Agreste Manor, lies the body of Adrien's comatose mother. Until her body was glowing brightly and then disappears in a light of stardust.

(Fate's Domain)

Fate awaits anxiously with a grin on his face as the stardust flew out of the book and begins to take shape next to Marinette, who was shaking in excitement at her wish for her true love.

Adrien can only look frozen stiff at the shape the stardust was forming into. Memories of a past long forgotten due to the coldness of his father begins to resurface as he gazes upon one of the most important people in his life, his Lady being his number one or both. Tears then begin to form in his eyes as the person is now shown for all the cosmos to see, a person that he wished to see for the past couple of years.

"Mom…" Adrien says in a whisper as the person in question looks around in confusion before finally turning her gaze upon her precious Cinnamon Roll.

"Adrien!"
