Sorry it took a while, especially after that tiny first chapter. I plan/hope to upload at least 1 Chapter per week, maybe 2.

Marinette was barely in her seat when the bell rang. After some good natured teasing from Alya and a bit of lectuting on the importance of punctuality, class began. About 15 minutes in, principal Damocles escorted a boy their age into the class.

"Thank you Mr. Damocles, we'll handle him from here." The teacher said. "Class, this is our new student, Jason Sterling. I expect you all to give him a warm welcome."

"Great, another ridiculous loser for me to deal with." Chloe said.

"Oh, I'm sure I don't look that bad. not that I would know." the boy said, turning to face the class. He was tall, handsome, had dark hair, a sharp jawline, really the only unattractive thing about him was his hair. It looked as though he had never bothered to do it in his life. His eyes were by far the most noteable thing about him, however. They were stormy gray, deep as the ocean, but the pupil was gray.

"What do you mean, you dont know? It's your face." Chloe retorted. "And what is with your hair? It looks like you didn't even do it."

"I'm blind."

The room fell silent. Not even Chloe dared to speak.

"You'll be sitting by Adrien." The teacher said after a moment.

"Okay. Where is he?"

"Right over here." Adrien said, getting up to guide the boy over.

Jason held up his hand, signaling Adrien to stop. He clicked his tounge, and started making his way over to his new seat.

"This part I do need your help with." He said, feeling around for the chair. "I can get a basic idea for the location, but it's not very exact."

After Jason was helped into his chair by Adrien, the teacher resumed the lesson. After 30 minutes that felt like eternity, the bell rang. Everyone grabbed their bags and went to the next class, all but one.

"Jason, you coming?" Adrien asked.

"Just a second." The blind boy responded. "I like to wait for everyone else to leave. It helps me to not run in to anyone."

"Fair enough."

As the left the class, a sinister smile crossed Chloe's face.

"I think it's time we show the new kid his place."

As the two boys were walking, Chloe jumped out in front of them. Adrian stopped before he hit her, but Jason just kept walking, and knocked Chloe clean over.

"Ugh! You just ran into me! Apologize!"

To Adrian's surprise, Jason bowed slightly.

"I apologize for running into you. I didn't see you there." He said

Satisfied, Chloe walked off triumphant. The next class they went to was Social Studies.

"Today," the teacher began, "we will be presenting our photo collages."

Each group went, most not very specific about detail in the photos, just saying things like, "and this is the Eiffel Tower. This is the Louvre." And the like. Adrien glanced at Jason, who didn't seem to be affected. Next was geometry, where they discussed three dimensional shapes. The rest of the day went on like this, one thing after another, between mocking and teasing and visual presentations, everything seemed out to get Jason. When lunch came, Jason pulled his lunch out of his backpack and went to sit with Adrien. Unfortunately, he walked by Chloe to get there. She stuck her foot out and tripped him. As he was on the floor, a window far across Paris was opening, and a single purple butterfly flew out. A few moments later, it landed on the boy's ring.

"Blinder, I am Hawkmoth. You have been mocked and ridiculed for your lack of sight, so now nobody will see! In return, you must bring Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous."

"No"

Hawkmoth was dumbfounded. Nobody had ever refused his Akuma before.

"You will have revenge on those who-"

"The answer is no. I will not blind anyone."

"But you have been so inconvenienced by it and they mock you for it. You can show them what it is like to see nothing."

"I refuse to put another through what I've been through. Begone."

The Akuma removed itself from his ring. But Jason wasn't done yet. He shot his arm out and grabbed the butterfly by the wing, then crushed it in his hand.

Adrien and Marinette looked dumbfounded. Almost more than Hawkmoth. They thought it was impossible for someone to refuse an Akuma.

I'm gonna have to tell Master Fu about this. Marinette thought.
