"BELLE LOOK OUT!"

Belle reacted, arms wrapping back around the black and yellow blur that tackled her, the green scarf like wings loosing their grip in the air and sending the two heroes dropping down.

Just as a fireball flew overhead.

It was pure instinct when Belle grabbed the railing, jerking both to a stop and giving Belle a chance to see who she had wrapped up in her arm.

She was surprised to meet blue.

Blue against a black and yellow mask, and a huge, gushing smile on the... bee's face.

"Oh Belle!" the bee gushed, wrapping her up in a tight hug and rubbing her cheek against the peacock. "You saved me!"

"Uh," Belle uttered, trying to lean away from the affections while also trying to not drop the bee heroine.

A throat clears above, and the two looked up to see a scowling Malin, one of his ears twitching in agitation. "What's going on here?" he asked, waving down to them.

"I don't-"

"Belle's true partner came," the bee declares haughtily, making the fox twitch.

Pursing her lips, Belle let go of the roof railing and floated down a near roof, letting the bee down. Malin quickly followed, dropping down beside her, loosely wrapping his tail around Belle's waist possessively. "What do you mean her true partner?" he demands. "I'm her partner!"

The bee turned away with a scoff, "It means exactly what it means. I'm here to help Belle, to be her partner." When Malin opened his mouth to argue, the bee bites in, "Specifically a partner who isn't going to sneeze every time he's near her."

Malin growled, ears folding back.

Belle placed a soothing hand on his chest, frowning at the bee. "Who are you?" she asked.

Puffing her chest out, the bee declared, "Queen Bee, at your service, Belle Bleue."

"More like Buzzkill," Malin mutters.

"It's Queen Bee!" the black and yellow heroine snaps.

Near them, Ladybug and Chat gaped down at yet another new hero. And again, one that wasn't even bothering introducing themselves to the lucky duo. Just went straight to Belle Bleue. Again. What was with everyone coming to Belle Bleue?!

"You know," Chat voices, "sometimes it feels like we're just kinda here?"

Ladybug just sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose.

Queen Bee cameo! Maybe more of her to come?

I should also try and think of more ways to include Nino and Alya.
