Liam's House... Two hours after the Agreste Mansion incident...

Liam spent the evening sat on the edge of his bed, tears streaming, horrified at what he had done. He knew that his anger was brought on by his watch, so he decided to take it off. But first, he had to call Ladybug and Cat Noir. He rang them using his watch, but neither answered. He left them a message.

"Hey, guys. I'm afraid I'm not coming out on patrol tonight. I've... really messed up. I need some time to think about how I can make this right. Oh, god. Where do I start? Sorry, I'm just thinking out loud. You managed before without me anyway. Okay? Okay, goodnight." Liam took his watch off and tossed it at the wall. Félix darted in.

"What the hell are you doing?! You're not normally this-!" Félix noticed Liam's tears. "What's wrong?"

Liam looked at his brother. "I've really screwed up, Félix." Félix sat on the bed next to his brother.

"Liam. What's happened?"

Liam sighed and wiped his tears. "You remember Alix?"

"The girl that you and that Nathaniel boy hang out with."

"Yeah. Well... We've been sleeping with each other."

Félix was shocked. "Come again?"

Liam's head shot up. "Is that a joke?"

"This isn't a joking matter, Liam! We never knew about this!"

"We kept it secret. Nights, when you were at the station and Bridgette was tackling fires. Even Nathaniel didn't know. But that's where I've screwed up. As a class, we were all at Adrien's mansion, making a film. I got humiliated by a classmate, and Alix kept rubbing it in and I snapped. I shouted about our private time right there in front of half of the class."

Félix froze. "You didn't!"

"I did. Out of anger. Brought on by that!" Liam pointed at the watch. "I'm not using that if I can't keep my anger under control. But more important things now. I need to make this right, but I don't know how."

"Start with the hardest thing."

"Beg Alix's forgiveness?"

"Close. You forgive yourself, then you try and put things right. But if I were you, I'd try and get some rest." Liam nodded. Félix got up and walked out. "And ask for Marinette's help. I know you like to handle your problems yourself, but sometimes it helps to have someone's support."

Liam smiled. "Thanks, brother."

"Anytime," Félix replied and closed the door. 'Please Liam, don't tell me she's pregnant...'


Alix's house... Half an hour after Félix's talk with Liam...

Alix had been skating around the block, trying to vent her anger towards Liam. Surprisingly, it worked... until she got home, where Sabrina was waiting for her.

"So, Alix?" Sabrina asked.

"What does Chloe want?" The skater asked in annoyance, acknowledging that Sabrina wasn't there of her own accord.

"Rumour has that there's more going on with you and Liam."

"And who started these rumors?"

"Kim."

Alix clenched her fists, her anger coming back.

"Well, he's gonna have a broken leg tomorrow. There's nothing going on."

Alix wasn't lying. There was no way she'd spend the night with Liam after what he'd done, but Sabrina didn't care. "Really? It's just Kim gave me a quote that says 'I'm not gonna have kids anyway, you suck me dry every time you're at ours' and he claims he's not the only one who heard that." Alix clenched her teeth harder with every passing word, knocking on the door so her father could let her in. "It's true, isn't it? You're Liam's mate, in more ways than one. Ooh, la la!"

Alix snapped. He turned and threw a hook at Sabrina, knocking her glasses off and sending her to the floor. Sabrina was terrified. She was now getting a black eye. Alix didn't stop there. She kicked Sabrina in the stomach and kept punching her. "HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT? TO BE HUMILIATED OVER YOUR PRIVATE ORDEALS WITH A BOY?! Oh, wait! YOU'RE SAVING YOURSELF FOR CHLOE!" Alix's front door opened and Mr. Kubdel witnessed what his daughter was doing.

"ALIX!" The curator shouted then pulled Alix away from Sabrina. Alix struggled as much as she could. "JALIL! GET OUT HERE!" Jalil soon appeared. "See to that girl! Alix, get inside NOW!" Mr. Kubdel turned towards the door and let Alix walk in. "We're gonna have a serious talk, young lady!" Then, he turned and helped Jalil with Sabrina. "You're Lieutenant Raincomprix's daughter! Sabrina, can you hear me?" Sabrina groaned in pain but gave a quick nod. "Okay, Sabrina. We're gonna try and get you up, okay?" Sabrina nodded and gave the Kubdels her arms. They slowly pulled her up, Sabrina wincing in pain. "Let's get you inside." They walked Sabrina inside and sat her on the sofa.

"Can you tell us what happened?" Jalil asked.

"I I was harassing Alix over a recent secret," Sabrina asked. "I kept insulting her about it."

"Whatever you did doesn't justify what she's done. Actually, wait here." Jalil got up and went to Alix's room, but the door was closed. "Alix, get out here!" Jalil opened the door. "Come and see what you've-!" Jalil was cut off by the sight of Alix staring at her shaking, bloodied hands. The blood came from Alix's own hands, as Sabrina wasn't bleeding anywhere. Jalil was shocked but still needed Alix to see the damage she'd done. "You're right to be shaken. Come and see what you've done and apologize to this girl! And take those skates off!" Alix took the skates off, then walked out into the living room and saw Sabrina, covered by a blanket that Jalil had got her while Mr. Kubdel was phoning for Paramedics. Alix placed her hand over her mouth in horror.

"I." Alix whimpered. "I'm- I'M SO SORRY, SABRINA!" Alix looked at her hands, the placed them on her forehead and ran into the bathroom. All Jalil and Sabrina heard was retching and the toilet flushing, over and over. Eventually, the paramedics arrived, followed by Félix Rejeter and Roger Raincomprix in Roger's police car. The two of them got out and went inside.

"Sabrina?" Roger called out.

"Dad!" Sabrina answered. Roger knelt down and looked his daughter in her bruised eye.

"Did Alix do this to you?" Sabrina nodded. Roger growled.

"Dad, please don't be angry at her. I was bullying her because of her and Liam."

"What?" Roger, Jalil, and Mr. Kubdel asked in unified confusion. The paramedics took Sabrina to the hospital to x-ray her. Roger went with his daughter, leaving Félix to try and get the pieces together.

"I do need to get as clear a picture as possible," The detective said. "Is Alix here?"

"Yes," Jalil answered. "She's in the bathroom." Mr. Kubdel walked over to the bathroom and opened the door, not anticipating his daughter on the toilet seat holding a pregnancy test.

Mr. Kubdel froze in horror, then shouted. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
