Prompt: Marinette decides to use the Lucky Charm outside of an akuma battle to see what item would materialize to help her outside of danger. What she got wasn't what she was expecting at all…Not sure if there's already fanart similar to this, a friend of mine mentioned it.

Rating: T (sad shot…mentions of death)


Her Remorse

Tikki flew around her chosen nervously, "Are you sure Marinette? You don't know what may happen…" in truth the kwami had a pretty good idea of what might happen, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Marinette gave her a reassuring smile, but it didn't reach her eyes and it looked…tight, "Don't worry Tikki, I'm sure everything will be alright,"

She stopped after a few more steps and took a deep breath.

"Tikki, spots on!"

Now, Ladybug stood in Marinette's place and she gripped her yoyo tightly, biting her bottom lip.

With a broken whisper, she calls upon her power, "Lucky Charm!"

Her yoyo shoots into the air and bathes everything in bright, sparkling light before something red appeared within its center and Marinette stepped back, eyes intently following how her magic shaped into a figure.

A figure of a human.

She had never gotten a human as aid, only ever inanimate objects and she felt the familiar buzzes within her mind, coming from Tikki's worry spiking.

And now she knew why.

Chat Noir materialized, all red dotted with black spots, she wasn't sure if he was a living human being or…

"…Chat?" he landed on his feet in front of her but didn't respond, empty, red eyes dotted with miniature black spots gazed at her emptily.

"Kitty?" The figure cocked his head to the side, he couldn't speak.

This wasn't her Chat.

She knew it wasn't.

And yet, she didn't see his figure, him in such a long time.

Without thinking, she lunged forward and enveloped the Chat lookalike in a tight hug, sobbing hard into his shoulder.

The suit was the same, leather, but red and black instead of pure black. His hair felt real too, but she couldn't feel a heartbeat, she couldn't feel the rise and fall of his chest, nothing, he wasn't real.

For a while, nothing happened as she shut her eyes tightly closed, having long since stopped trying to keep in her tears. She tried to imagine this was real, that this was indeed her kitty standing before her, but her heart knew otherwise, and more tears kept coming.

Until she felt familiar arms around her and when she opened her eyes again, her vision wasn't dotted with a red and black spotted suit but a pure black one.

"Don't cry, princess," the side of his head nuzzled against her own and she sighed, hand coming up to entangle in his messy hair.

"Oh cherie…minou…" she sobbed brokenly, clutching him like a lifeline. Her tight hug was returned, and she couldn't care less that his strong arms were like a vice around her, she never wanted to let him go, she never wanted him to let go.

Not again.

She hadn't noticed how much time had passed, she hadn't noticed until the figure of her partner suddenly vanished, and her transformation wore off, and she fell to her knees.

Tikki was at her side in an instant, trying to comfort her chosen until Plagg took her into his arms and shook his head silently. Tikki hugged her partner tightly, heart breaking at seeing her charge like this.

It wasn't like Lucky Charm could hold forever, it wasn't like it could bring back what she really wanted, needed.

Marinette clutched at the ring on her finger, his ring, and tearfully caressed it, a small smile on her lips, "Minou…"

"Amour…" she sobbed and the skies cried with her, rain pouring over her kneeling form but she couldn't bring herself to care, to move, to even feel the raindrops beating upon her back, she was numb.

She just kneeled before the statue dedicated to him, a memorial, the description of protector of Paris, partner to Ladybug, beloved friend and loving hero engraved in gold at the bottom of the statue.

And then the death date.

Exactly a year ago today.

We are a team, Chat Noir.
