Black Widow

by Mythril Moth

While recovering from an infected spider bite, Marinette is unable to wear the Miraculous. Visible to Hawk Moth for the first time since his reign of terror began, Marinette becomes his latest Akumatization victim. Chat Noir is forced to deal with three supervillains at once without the support of Ladybug. (A story with multiple endings.)

6. Author's Notes

Hello again!

I've had a lot of people asking me what the alternate endings to this story would have been. Since I am never going to get around to writing them, but did find extended notes on them I'd forgotten I wrote, I thought I would at least share, for the benefit of interested readers, what could have been had I not abandoned the multiple-ending concept.

I only had notes for two of the alternate endings:

"Urobuchi Version" - Black Widow's battle with Chat Noir turns ugly. She loses an arm to his Cataclysm, which drives her into a rage. She ends up killing him, then upon learning he's Adrien, is driven into an even deeper, pain-driven rage. With both the Black Cat and Ladybug Miraculous, she goes after Hawk Moth, killing him and taking the Butterfly Miraculous. In the process, she learns he's Gabriel Agreste, which is the final straw. Even without the Akuma possessing her, Marinette has now been so psychotically damaged by her own actions that she completely surrenders to her darkest despair, and with the power of three Miraculous, she becomes an unstoppable goddess of destruction. The story ends with Master Fu desperately trying to find new heroes to use the Fox, Bee, and Turtle Miraculous to stop Marinette's reign of terror.

"Shakespeare Version" - Believing that Black Widow has killed Ladybug, Chat Noir loses his temper and attacks in a blind rage, using Cataclysm against her. When he realizes he's killed Marinette, he sinks into a deep despair. He swallows both the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous and jumps into the Seine, drowning himself and preventing anyone from ever using the Miraculous again. He never learns that Marinette was Ladybug all along.

(And now you see why I didn't write these...yeesh...)
