Rena Rouge felt the air leave her lungs as Hawkmoth's latest akuma slammed her through several buildings, finally ending up against the inside of a random office block.
The akuma blurred and somewhere distant (at least that's how it sounded) Ladybug and Chat were saying something. Rena Rouge wasn't sure what exactly, her head was too busy ringing.
She tried to stand and promptly fell back down as the akuma was knocked away by Chat Noir and that's when she first noticed it.
She was wearing her glasses.
Rena Rouge never needed to wear glasses.
Hell, none of Paris's resident superheroes needed glasses.
Her eyesight slowly cleared and she felt a growing sense of horror.
Instead of her normal red and white hero suit, she was wearing a familiar plaid striped shirt and light blue jeans.
At least the cameras were not here to see her transformation fall. They had been fortunately left behind earlier during the fight.
Desperately she tried to stand once more, only for her legs to give way yet again.
"Alya, you're in no shape to fight," her kwami Trixx chided. "You can't even stand."
"You don't understand. I can't just-"
With a creaking noise, the building abruptly collapsed above her.
""Well at least you're safe," Trixx said as the dust and debris settled and around them. Miraculously, not one piece had landed on either of them and Alya growled.
"I'm supposed to be a hero Trixx!" Alya practically shouted. "And now Chat and probably Hawkmoth know who I am and-"
"I think your twins would be too much for even Hawkmoth to handle," Trixx said with a chuckle and Alya gave her kwami a grim smile. "You're a great hero Alya and I know that we can handle whatever comes our way."
Alya nodded and the two of them sat and talked as they waited for Ladybug and Chat Noir's inevitable victory.
