"Alright." Marinette said. "I'm going to use Cataclysm-" Her hand started to glow with dark energy, "And Chat Noir can then purify the Akuma and use Miraculous Ladybug to switch back all our-"

Before she could destroy the boomerang, the Akuma detransformed, the appearance of Switcheroo peeling away. A purple butterfly fluttered away into the air.

"Huh?" Marinette narrowed her eyes. "Did Hawkmoth destroy the Akuma himself?" She froze suddenly, "Chat Noir! Quick! Grab the Akuma before it gets away!"

Chat Noir threw the yoyo up in the air and it just barely caught the purple butterfly.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" Chat Noir yelled, throwing his yoyo into the air. Nothing happened.

"Isn't that supposed to do something?" Peter asked, glancing down at the black substance still all over his suit.

"Yes.." Marinette said slowly. "Unless there was no damage caused by the Akuma to begin with."

"But our Miraculouses should have been switched back!" Chloe said, seemingly still disgusted by the fact she was wielding the Fox Miraculous.

"Hawkmoth already detransformed the Akuma," Chat Noir offered, "Maybe the Magic Ladybugs can't do anything now because there's technically no Akuma to fix?"

"Greaaaat." Marinette sighed, "We now have to switch back all the Miraculouses without revealing everyone's identities." Her face scrunched up, seemingly coming up with a plan in her head. "Okay." She motioned to Chat Noir. "Chat? Can you help out our Akumatised friend over there?" She motioned to a girl sitting on the roof hugging her knees, eyeing all of them with suspicion. If her Akumatised version was anything to go by, she probably had zero idea what they were saying. "I'm going to take back the Turtle and Bee Miraculouses," She motioned to Rena Rogue and Carapace, "and then give them back to Master F-" She glanced at Peter, "-the Guardian. I'll meet you back here, I guess and we'll figure out a plan to swap our Miraculouses back. Maybe our Kwamii's can help us."

"Sounds good." Chat Noir said, turning to walk towards the girl standing behind them, introducing himself in English.

"What about me?" Chloe interrupted.

"You are going to give me your Miraculous now," Marinette said, and as Chloe began to protest she cut her off, "-and then show Spider-Man where he needs to drop you off."

"Huh?" Peter echoed.

"You can drop Chloe off at her home and then go wherever it is you need to go." Marinette repeated. "Sound okay?"

Chloe seemed satisfied with this. "Hey! Fox girl! What do I have to say to de-transform?"

"You need to say Trixx, Let's Rest!" Rena Rogue responded.

"Okay. Uh, Trixx, let's rest." Chloe de-transformed, her costume peeling away. She took of her Miraculous; a necklace with a fox tail pendant, and returned it to Marinette nonchalantly. Chloe turned to Peter. "Come on Spidey, I can show you how cool my house is. I bet it's better than wherever you live."

Yeah, you're absolutely right about that. Peter thought, thinking of the small apartment he lived in and comparing it to the hotel room he was staying in currently. He held out his hand for Chloe to take it but she hesitated.

"You better not get any of that disgusting ink or goo or whatever on my shirt. Do you know how expensive it is?"

You've told me all to many times before. Peter thought. "You decide how you want to hold onto me then. Hold me wherever you want." He flushed, mentally kicking himself for his choice of words as Chloe wrapped her arms around him hesitantly, seemingly struggling to strike a balance between flirting with him and avoiding the mess on his suit.

"Hold on tight." He said, shooting a web onto the building and leaping off the rooftop.

/*\*/*\

Peter knew where he needed to head, but he made sure to remember to ask Chloe where she lived. He didn't want to have to answer any questions about why he knew where she lived.

Landing on the rooftop of Le Grand Paris he relaxed his grip on Chloe to let her down. She moved her grip to his hand instead of completely letting go of him.

"Uhh miss, I need to head off-"

"Nonsense. You don't have a bedtime. You're a superhero. Besides, I want to show you where I live. Not just the rooftop!"

"I-" I've already seen it.

"And call me Chloe! You know that's my name, right?"

"-Okay."

She lead him inside the building and down a few stairs to a hallway where she opened the door to her room. It was just like he remembered it- much bigger than anywhere he'd lived at.

"So... What do you think Spidey?"

"It's nice," Peter responded truthfully, "Much bigger than my room."

"You should show me your room someday." Chloe responded, distracted by her phone.

I don't think that's going to happen. Peter pried his hand away from hers and pretended to be interested in something that was left on a table.

Opening his mouth to begin to announce that he needed to go, he was suddenly pulled towards Chloe as she held up her phone and took a photo of the two of them.

"Chloe-"

"Come on Spidey, smile!" She placed a hand on his chest and took another photo.

Feeling flushed and uncomfortable, Peter knew she couldn't tell if he was smiling or not, and so just narrowed his eyes.

"Alright Chloe, I do really need to get home, I'd like to sleep-"

"You can sleep here," Chloe suggested. I'm already sleeping here. "In my room here-" Ah, never mind.

"As flattered as I am, I'll have to decline." Peter said. "I wouldn't want you to learn my identity!" He winked, thankful for the mask for covering his red face.

"Secret identities are lame. I don't understand why they have to be secret." Chloe tossed her head to the side. Ah, right. She kind-of told everyone she was Queen Bee.

"Well, unfortunately that's just the way it is." Peter responded, not wanting to argue with her. "I do wish to head home though-"

"Okay, whatever," Chloe rolled her eyes. "I'll let you go home then. Just hold on-" she reached up and grabbed his face, kissing him on the cheek. "Good bye Spidey,"

Peter was extra thankful for the mask covering his face. "It was uh- it was nice working with you Queen Bee." He gave her an exaggerated salute and walked over to the balcony.

"Please do come around again sometime." Chloe pleaded.

"Uh yeah, uh- maybe." Peter responded. Why does she seem to flirt with every guy she meets?

He leapt off the balcony, thankful for the chance to clear his head.

He swung out a few blocks before swinging around and doubling back towards the hotel.

He landed on his balcony and entered his room, stumbling towards his room and hoping he remembered to lock his door as he crashed on the bed.

His final thoughts before sleep overtook him were, Oops. I forgot to take off my suit.
