Chapter 8

un jour viendra, tu découvriras

Le bonheur d'être à deux, toi et moi

lorsqu'on on se serrera dans nos bras

Marinette was trying hard not to think about it, but it was becoming more and more difficult because every time she wanted to stop thinking about it, she thought about it even more.

"Who could it be, Tikki?" She asked the kwami while lying on her bed when she was supposed to be asleep.

"Emma's dad? Again with that?" Tikki grumbled. "Go back to sleep Marinette, it's the seventh time you ask me the same question, I know the same as you do,"

"I know but... could it be... I mean, she did look a little bit like him..."

"Like who?" Marinette was silent for a moment.

"No one, I think you're right, I should stop obsessing about the future," She replied nervously.

"Remember, if you know what happens it won't happen,"

Marinette rolled to the other side of her bed, but she found that she couldn't sleep. She was wide awake! Every effort to close her eyes ended up in her opening them again.

She rolled in her bed several for minutes, she even took off her socks and pants in hopes that it would make her feel more comfortable, but nothing helped.

"Tikki, what do you think of going on a quick patrol?"

"Patrol?" Tikki asked groggily. "You're the boss Marinette, but there are better ways to deal with insomnia,"

"Tikki spots on!" Marinette chanted and a sleepy Tikki was sucked into Marinette's earrings who was still tucked on her bed. She pushed out the covers and went out using the trapdoor to the balcony.

The cold night air from late November filled up Marinette's nostrils, making her feel alive and refreshed. Immediately she remembered Chat Noir and how he was always saying that parkouring around the city made him feel better.

"Why not?" Marinette pondered, starting by jumping to the next big building trying to use her yo-yo as little as possible, because today she didn't need to be fast, today she needed to be free. There was something to be said about not using her yo-yo, she was able to appreciate the city in a different light. The streets were deserted, only an eventual car would pass around, but all that could be seen were the lampposts and the lights of the Eiffel tower.

Marinette kept running, feeling the cold in her face and the burning in her legs, but none of it matter, because she was finally able to take her mind out of the things that were bothering her. She kept running, and running, and running until there was nowhere else to go. The lights of the city seemed distant, meaning she had reached the Bois de Vincennes, a park on the outskirts of the city. She was curious about exploring the place at this late hour, but something caught her eye before she was able to make a choice.

Right before entering the Bois de Vincennes, there was a poorly lighted alleyway, and from where she stood, Ladybug could see the silhouette of a man kneeling on the floor handling something, but Ladybug couldn't make him out from where she was standing. She decided she should investigate, after all, it was her duty to keep the city and it's people safe and who knew what this fellow was up to. The man was wearing all black, and it became evident as she got closer that he wasn't just any man, instead, it was someone she knew very well.

"Chat Noir?" He shushed her without turning around.

"I don't want you to scare them," he whispered as he motioned for her to come closer to him, she did so, quickly kneeling next to him. On Chat Noir's lap there were about half a dozen kittens from several colors, but apparently, all belonging to the same litter.

"Oh, my goodness Chat! They're gorgeous!" She exclaimed making one of the little kitties cringe. Chat shushed her again. "Sorry..." She whispered.

"Aren't they cute?" He whispered making soothing noises to calm down the scared kitten. "I saw them during my patrol, and couldn't help myself, I just had to pet them,"

"Who would have thought that Chat Noir would be such a good mother to these kitties," She muttered as she picked up one of the kittens.

"Don't freak out, but I'm more of a dog person?"

"You're what?" She half screamed scaring the kitten in her hands, "Sorry baby!" She soothed it.

"Stereotypes, my Lady, don't be guided by them,"

"But you're Chat Noir! You're supposed to be like the father of all cats,"

"Well, then I suppose you have an army of Ladybugs following you around,"

"Well technically..."

"Oh, don't come at me with that... What I mean is, I don't think our animal preferences were taken into consideration when Master Fu chose us to be the holders," He shifted his position now seated with his legs crossed. "Like, I don't think ladybugs are your favorite animals."

"Well, that still doesn't explain why I found you like a tom cat sitting on an alleyway playing with kitties."

"They're babies, and I don't see their mother around, and... they're babies!" Ladybug giggled.

"I can see they're babies..." Ladybug put the kitten she was holding down and went to catch another one that had gone astray. "So... why were you on patrol, we didn't agree on one tonight."

"I know, I just... I couldn't sleep..." He explained staring into the darkness.

"Good to know I wasn't the only one," Ladybug smiled sadly.

"It's just... those children visiting from the future got me thinking a lot about what's going to happen next," Chat sighed. "Like, where should I go to college? or what career path should I choose? who are those kids' parents? Do we know them?"

"You're not in college? I always thought you were way older than me,"

"What? No, m'Lady, I'm just a kitten, I haven't even graduated from the lycée"

"Well, that's new..."

"How about you, why couldn't you sleep?" He put the kitten on his lap and used his hands to turn around and lay his back on the wall.

"I was thinking about those kids too, they seemed familiar, so all I've been thinking about is who their parents are,"

"The twins look a lot like Adrien Agreste you know? And the girl looked exactly like Marinette!"

"Are you suggesting they are their children?" Ladybug stood up and imitated Chat's position against the wall, still holding on to one of the kittens.

"They could be, for all we know..." He scratched his head remembering he wasn't supposed to talk about this with Ladybug.

"I guess..." They sat on silence for a few seconds petting the kittens.

"What about you, my' Lady? Have you given a thought to your future?"

"I've always known what I want to do, and it seems that every day that passes I become more certain of it,"

"Lucky you! The rest of us, simple mortals, don't know what to decide yet," This made Ladybug giggle.

"Lucky me? I suppose you're the one that has tons of girls trying to get your attention,"

"What can I say, ladies can't resist a black knight like me," He boasted kissing one of his biceps, this made ladybug giggle even more. "But, none of them compares to you, my Lady," This made Ladybug blush behind her mask, so she turned her face to the cat in her hands to try to cover it. She didn't say anything for a moment, instead, she put the cat on the floor and picked up another one. "You're the only one I like, my Lady," he added, and Ladybug finally found the courage to look at him in the eyes, only to find that he was looking intently at her.

"Chaton..." She started with a sigh, trying to get rid of the not that had formed in her throat. "We've talked about this, this... us... it can't be," she shrugged.

"I know," he sighed looking away, and ladybug noticed that his cat ears were downcast. "That doesn't change the way I feel for you..." Ladybug felt a pang of guilt in her stomach as if someone had punched her hard, seeing Chat Noir this sad made her feel like the worst person alive, even more since all she wanted to do was grab him from his collar and kiss him. She gulped.

"I think it's better if I go now..." Ladybug put the cat down and motioned to leave, but Chat Noir held her hand

"No, my Lady, please don't go, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable," He almost pleaded her not to go.

"Chat, you know nothing could ever happen between us, it's too dangerous," she continued.

"I know, I get that, I just... I just wanted you to know that there's someone out there that loves you," Ladybug could feel her heart grow, "Because I know how it feels like when nobody loves you," he looked down finally letting go of Ladybug's hand.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, just... don't go, not just yet," Ladybug sighed at this, wondering what he meant before.

"Fine, but I'm just staying for the kittens."

"Well, I'm one of them already," He gave her a sad smile which she returned, and they went back to playing with the kittens. But at some point after that, when sleep was finally coming to get her, Ladybug put her head on Chat's shoulder.

"I do love you, Chat Noir," She could feel him stiffen from both her words and her actions, "Just... not that way..."

"That's more than enough for me, m'Lady." His muscles relaxed and he lowered his head to be on top of Ladybug's. After that, the kittens fell asleep on their laps, and Ladybug's eyelids were growing every time heavier and heavier, she tried to fight the tiredness, but it was impossible since Chat's soothing breaths next to her was making her even drowsier. She tried to hold on until she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore, and she closed them slowly, and slowly.

Ladybug woke up when the sunlight hit her face, and she felt a weight over her head and a few little paws on her lap. At first, she didn't understand the situation, until she remembered the previous night, and she sprung awake, waking up a sleepy Chat Noir.

"Chat, we fell asleep!" Ladybug exclaimed.

"Five more minutes..." He grunted while putting a hand around Ladybug's waist. She rolled her eyes and took out her yo-yo to check what time it was. She gasped.

"Chat, wake up, it's 7 am!"

"No, its... it's WHAT?!" He sprung awake, standing up so abruptly that he felt dizzy.

"Easy there, kitty, but we do have to hurry, it's only Tuesday."

"Crab, I have work today!"

"You work? I thought you said you go to school," Ladybug questioned him.

"I do both, call me a responsible child," He pointed at himself with his thumb, "But if I'm not home in like five minutes, I won't do either"

"But what about the kittens?" Ladybug inquired finding none of the kittens in sight, except one which was tumbling towards a cardboard box on the other side of the alleyway. Ladybug and Chat Noir looked at each other and then followed the tiny cat, only to find a much bigger black cat and all of the kitties gather around her trying to drink their breakfast. "I guess they did have a mom,"

"The lucky bastards," Chat joked.

"Mothers always come back to her babies," Ladybug noted making Chat smile faintly.

"Most of them do, anyway..." He whispered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, I gotta go now, see you later m'Lady!" He rushed, then took his staff and left before Ladybug had time to say goodbye.

"Have a good day chaton," she whispered looking at his silhouette disappear, "And thank you, for always being there for me."

That day at school Marinette and I didn't have a class together, but I needed to tell her what I found out about Lila on the previous day. Marinette was right about something, she's a liar, and a good one at that. Her mind was an intricate network of lies, which explains how she's able to keep track of all of her lies, but she was also so good at lying that she believed some of them.

But anyways, during the lunch period I started looking for her among the crowds, I was determined to finding her before she got to the cafeteria, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to have a moment alone with her until tonight. It turned out the heavens were looking out for me and I found her resting against water fountain having one of those internal debates of her.

"Why am I so tired? I want to go home now! Is it because I slept with Chat Noir?" She thought.

"You what?!" I called out loudly enough for her to listen and turn her head in my direction; unfortunately, it was also loud enough for everyone else in the hallway to listen and turn their heads. "hehe," I giggle nervously. "Just talking with a friend on the phone, nothing to see here," I stammered motioning to the phone in my hands, "I'll call you back in a moment, Luz." I put my phone away making sure everybody had turned their attention back to their business.

"Alba?" Marinette looked at me confused.

"What do you mean you..." I but my tongue and got closer to her to whisper in her ear, "What do you mean you slept with Chat Noir?"

"Wha... What are you doing lurking in my head?"

"I can't help it, I'm a mind reader,"

"No, you're a mind reader while you're Sirena, right now you can only hear thoughts out of context,"

"Hence, I'm asking for an explanation,"

"Ugh, fine, if you must know... but not out here in the open, there are too many people here,"

"I have the perfect place for secrecy." I beamed.

"So much for 'not here in the open,'" Marinette muttered as she took in her surroundings because we were standing literally in the middle of the soccer field, and there weren't many people around, as most of them were having lunch.

"Sometimes the best way to hide something is making it seem as though you have nothing to hide, besides, this place is perfect, the people around here are too far to listen to what we say and if someone comes we'll see them in time to change the subject, there are no places to hide here," I sat on the grass

"I guess if you put it that way..."

"Enough chit chat, I want to chat about Chat!" I motioned for her to sit next to me.

"Alba there's not much to know, I was on 'patrol' last night..." She added air quotes with her fingers

"Patrol? You haven't gone on patrol in months!"

"Hence the air quotes, just listen,"

"Fine, I'll shut up..." I motioned a zipper over my lips.

Marinette explained how she'd gotten to the outskirts of the city and found the cutest of the scenes, she talked about her conversation with Chat and how they fell asleep together.

I was delighted with the news, and clasping my hands together I said, "That's so cute! You guys are so cute!" Marinette let out a sad smile, "You don't seem very happy about it though,"

"It's just... it all got me thinking... do I know Chat Noir?"

"What do you mean, you've known him for years, you..."

"Yeah, but... I mean, I've worked with him, I've put my life in his hands countless times, but what do I know about him? For example, yesterday he said that he hadn't graduated from the lycée yet! Can you believe that? That never even crossed my mind! I never really wondered about the person behind the mask,"

"Really? not even when he came to visit you as Marinette?"

"I mean, we had a lot of fun together and we talked about almost anything, but I never saw his as... as a person, you know? It's like when you're put together in a group assignment at school and you have to get along with the other person enough to not fail the assignment, but you don't think of your teammate as a person and more like a means with no other purpose in life than to work on that project with you."

"Wow, that's a dark way of looking at group projects... hey! we were on a group project together last week!" I demanded, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well, my point is," She scratched the back of her head, "there were some things he said or I thought he said that made me wonder about him..." I waited for her to continue, "He said that he told me he loves me because he knows what it feels like to not feel loved, like what does that even mean?" She threw her hands in the air and then rested her chin on them.

"Are you thinking about Chat Blank?" The sole thought sent shivers down Marinette's spine.

"He never really happened, no one knows about him other than me, and future Bunix but she doesn't count. But the thing is, he said he was akumatized because I didn't love him anymore, at first I thought he was just being overdramatic, but now I wonder how much it really hurt him,"

"Marinette, Chat Blank is a product of an erased timeline, he never really happened,"

"Yes but it could have, and all because of me!" A tear slid through her shut eyes, and I could see how much the thought of Chat Blank still haunted her, so I slid an arm behind her back and hugged her letting her sob quietly "Who is he, Alba? you know him better than anyone,"

"We can never know a person, not entirely, which is great, cause they'll surprise us every now and again, but what we can do is listen and pay attention to them, and then we'll know what matters, and what's important."

"Sometimes I wish we could be honest with each other, but we can't it's too dangerous, why is it that to keep him safe I have to stay away? I wish I could tell him who I am, I wish we could be ourselves; I wish I could tell him that I'll never leave him, but I can't! I can't because it would be a lie, because if we were together Hawk Moth or... or..." She broke out in a small sob, so I hugged her tighter.

After a few seconds, I asked, "What do you think he's like? When he's not wearing the mask?" I heard her giggle pulling away from me while she wiped a tear away.

"I always thought he was this crazy extrovert who hosts big parties and has a bunch of girls crawling behind him," She giggled again, but then her expression turned somber, "but now I'm not so sure..."

"Well, one of the things you said is true, though I'm afraid I can't tell you which one," I thought of Adrien being chased around the city by crazy fans and the thought made me giggle.

"That's okay, oddly enough that's comforting because that also means that you'll keep details from my life a secret,"

"I'm glad you see it that way," I smiled, but she wasn't looking at me.

"He did say something else," She continued, "When I said that mothers always come back to their children, I could swear I heard him say that at 'least some of them do', and that got me thinking about his mother, what happened to her? What kind of parents does he have?"

"Ah, well now, that's a great question," I raised a finger and then putting it back down, "That I can't give an answer to..."

"I wasn't expecting you to, but I mean, what if he is completely different from the person I thought he was? What if he has a dark past he doesn't talk about,"

"Yeah well, people with dark pasts don't like to talk about them," I explained but she didn't listen and instead kept talking,

"What if he's a musician?" She beamed,

"Yeah... wait, what? Why is that even important?"

"Emma said her father was a musician, and what if..."

"Emma who? Okay, you lost me there,"

"Emma, my daughter!" Although I could see the glimmer in her eyes and that she believed what she was saying, I couldn't understand what she meant.

"Marinette, are you on drugs?" I looked at her with a horrified expression,

"No! I... Emma is my daughter who came from the future with two boys who she said were the 'Agreste twins,' they came during the weekend, didn't I tell you?"

"Well, you obviously didn't, but wait! Did they come from the future? That's super dangerous, Marinette!"

"Yeah, but I haven't seen Bunix coming to fix it, and I clearly remember everything so, I guess it should be fine!" I put my hand on my chin thoughtfully.

"Or maybe that's just the way it was supposed to happen!"

"My point is, Emma looked a lot like me, except for her eyes which were emerald green, like Chat Noir's!"

"Like Chat Noir's!" I repeated with a thin voice, "Marinette, you shouldn't be thinking about this, the more you think about it, the lesser the chances of you ever meeting your precious Emma."

"You think so?"

"I definitely think so! Yes, Chat could be the father of your daughter, but he also might not be, so just let things flow naturally, I promise you, if this was meant to happen, then your daughter will be born in her time, not before and not after. In the meantime, why not focus on getting to know Chat?"

"Well, how can I if I can't know his identity!"

"You don't need to, just focus on the things that matter, his character, his choices, the way he acts under pressure, the way he treats others, how he behaves under stress and the things that make him laugh, I promise you, whatever his past has to hold is irrelevant against these things,"

"Why?"

"Because those are the things that will define his future."

"Alba, I just know it's him, and I know that one day, I'll be able to make him happy and I'll make him forget whatever painful memory he has,"

"People don't always forget, but they can forgive, you'll need to know this if want a successful life."

"He has something to forgive?"

"I honestly don't know, but we all do, eventually, and I have the feeling that whatever he's dealing with is only going to get worse." I finished when the bell rang and we had to go back to our respective classes.

Sometime after that, somewhere around the city stood a weeping woman. She was an amateur skydiver, but the doctor just told her she couldn't do it anymore because she had developed vertigo. But it was what she loved, how could she not do it anymore?

As her tears fell, she clung to her skydiving helmet, when a black and purple butterfly fused with it.

"Cloudjumper," Came a dark and ominous voice inside her head, "They underestimate your abilities, but I will give you the power to fly and show those doctors who you are, in exchange, you'll bring me Ladybug's and Chat Noir's miraculous."

"As you wish, Hawk Moth."

At first, nobody knew about the Akuma, because she was too busy enjoying her new pair of wings until it came to a point where Hawk Moth had to tell her to go and find Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Marinette was now watching tv with her parents when Nadja Chamack was pushed away from the screen and a stranger wearing a full helmet took control of the camera.

"Dear Ladybug and Chat Noir," she started with a distorted voice, "let me introduce myself, I'm Cloudjumper, and you have something that belongs to my master, come and face me unless you want to see Paris burn!" She dropped the mic and a pair of wasp-like wings emerged from her back and she took off flying.

"Was that an Akuma victim?" Tom questioned.

"Apparently," Sabine answered and Marinette looked distraught.

"Didn't look like one..." Tom continued.

"You guys, I forgot! I have a test tomorrow and I need to go to study..."

"Can't you go later? The show's about to start." Tom pointed at the screen.

"What kind of parents are you? Telling your daughter to watch a tv show before studying?"

"The cool type!" Tom exclaimed making Marinette giggled.

"Well, you are super cool, but I really need to study."

"Fine, be a responsible girl." Marinette kissed both her parents and left to her room.

"This is an odd Akuma, isn't it?" Tikki emerged from Marinette's purs.

"You think so too? She hasn't done anything, it's as if she just asked us on a date or something, but, an Akuma is an Akuma, let's go catch! Tikki spots on!"

Ladybug jumped out of the window and called Chat Noir as she ran towards the Eifel Tower.

"Chat, did you see it?" She asked him the moment he picked up the phone.

"Of course I did, I'm on my way to the Eifel tower."

"Okay, let's group there!" She hanged up the phone and continued on her way.

Chat Noir met her nearby the tower, but there was no sign of Cloudjumper.

"I've been looking for her all over the place, but I can't see her, what kind of Akuma doesn't want to be found?" Chat shrugged

"This kind, apparently..."

"Ladybug and Chat Noir, just the couple of superheroes I was looking for." They could hear her distorted voice but they couldn't see her until they looked up, and clearly enough there was a woman, similar to a robotic wasp flying in circles above them.

"We're not a couple, and who are you?" Ladybug demanded.

"My name is Cloudjumper," She remarked in a softer voice as she landed before them removing the visor of the helmet, letting her hazel eyes be seen, as well as her tan skin. She wasn't trying to hide her face. "Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against you, I just want your miraculouses for my master to be as happy as I am."

"Your master?"

"Why, Hawk Moth of course."

"You seem reasonable enough to see that he's pure evil." Chat spat

"He's not evil, he healed me, he gave me wings, and all he wants in return are your miraculouses, and I want to give them to him, so could you please..."

"Can't you see that he wants to use them for an evil purpose?"

"I don't know what his purposes are, but how bad can they be if he healed me!"

"So you keep saying," Chat rolled his eyes at her.

"How good can he be if he's waiting for payback? If he was as good as he claims to be wouldn't he heal you for free?"

"I think it's a fair price, now, enough chit chat and give me your miraculous, or I'll be forced to take them from you!"

"Come and try it!" Chat defied her.

Cloudjumper's eyebrows furrowed as her face was covered again by the helmet and she expanded her wings and took off flight, high in the sky, so high in fact that Ladybug and Chat Noir lost track of her and didn't notice when she came flying straight to Ladybug knocking her to the floor, aiming to take off her earrings.

"Now Hawk Moth will be pleased," In the struggle, Cloudjumper managed to take Ladybug's yo-yo pinning her to the floor, using the yo-yo to tie her up. She was about to take her earrings when something tapped her on the shoulder, she turned around in time to see chat whamming her with his baton.

"I hate bugs," Chat hissed as Ladybug managed to stand up, but she gave him a quizzical look, "Not you, my lady, of course, I don't like the type that bite,"

"Who says I don't," She winked and left to see to Cloudjumper, leaving a lovestruck Chat Noir behind. "It's over, Cloudjumper," Cloudjumper laughed, rubbing her chin where Chat hit her.

"You think I'm giving up this easily?" She stood up tall and immediately her wings started to grow taller than her, she used the wings to fly but she also started wagging them to and fro, creating a strong wind current, enough to disorient Ladybug and Chat Noir. She used the distraction to fly up to the sky in the direction of the sun, and Ladybug and Chat Noir, who was following her with their gazes were forced to close their eyes because of it's brightness.

Cloudjumper didn't lose a moment and making use of her bigger and stronger wings she turned back and grabbed Ladybug with one hand and Chat with the other. They tried to fight back, but by that time they were already so high in the sky that it was becoming harder for them to breathe. Cloudjumper was getting tired too, and she started to descend, perhaps involuntarily.

"helmet," Chat Noir mouthed at Ladybug, and she looked up and understood what he meant.

"Lucky charm!" Ladybug chanted, but the light of the miraculous blinded Cloudjumper and she let go of both of them before Ladybug could catch the enchanted object. Chat noticed that the Eifel tower was nearby

"Stick in the tower?" He asked and she nodded in response

This was a reference to an all too familiar maneuver where Chat Noir threw his baton to the Eiffel tower where it stuck in one of the holes in time for Ladybug to used her yo-yo to swing Chat and herself to the relative safety of the highest floor of the Eifel tower. While swinging, Chat was able to take hold of the object Ladybug had produced.

"Handcuffs?" He pointed out as Cloudjumper landed in front of them.

Using her Ladybug vision, she saw the handcuffs, Cloudjumper, a pipe in the tower and Chat Noir's hand. She had a plan, and she whispered it in Chat's ear.

"At your service my Lady," he bowed making her blush a little, but she came back to reality ready to face the Akuma.

"Calatysm!" Chat belted pointing his hands to Cloudjumper's helmet, but she moved aside and Chat fell face-first on the floor, he tried again but failed again, and a third time, each time getting closer to the edge of the tower, but Cloudjumper didn't see two things coming, for once, Chat didn't say the real trigger word, and when she moved to dodge Chat's attacks she fell into ladybug's trap, and her foot was now trapped in one end of the handcuffs, the other end was closed in one of the pipes of the tower, making it impossible for her to fly away.

Chat used her initial shock and, saying the right trigger word this time, used his cataclysm to break the helmet. The Akuma flew away and Ladybug purified it, which freed the victim and she went back to normal, she stood up but her feet were still stuck on the handcuff. Ladybug went to free her side first, and then the one on the pipe to use the object to repair any collateral damage.

But as Ladybug was getting ready to do her thing, she looked to see that the woman was no longer standing on the edge of the tower, instead, she heard a panicked scream, and when she looked to the edge, she saw her falling with her eyes closed.

Without wasting any time, Ladybug and Chat jumped down to try to catch her, but it was too late, by the time they got a clear shot to catch her she had already hit the floor.

I cannot possibly try to describe the terror that came over Ladybug as she saw the blood pouring from the woman's head, and her lifeless eyes looking back at her. Chat Noir was shocked too, but he moved slowly towards her and checked for vitals, but there were none.

"Is she..." Ladybug mumbled but Chat didn't look at her.

"You haven't used your miraculous Ladybug, that'll fix everything." A ray of hope shone in ladybug's heart as she chanted,

"Miraculous ladybug!" And the ladybugs fixed all the collateral damage caused by the Akuma, even the blood from the woman's head wounds, in fact, the wound disappeared altogether. "Did it work?" She asked dubiously, and Chat checked for vitals again, but his face turned a sickening tone of white when he shook his head. "What? How can that be? The wound is healed!"

"There's only one thing that Ladybug can't fix," came a well know voice from under the Eiffel tower, and both heroes turned to face Master Fu, "life."

One day you'll find out,

The happiness of us two, you and me,

when we hug each other!
