"Ugh... My head," groaned SparkMatrix.

He slowly sat up and rubbed his head. He felt like hell. He didn't remember much of what happened, only that he was chasing after a Sentinel and trying to stop him from activating some kind of... Temporal Warp Gate. The next thing he knew... He tackled his opponent and the two of them went through the hole.

"...Now here's the million dollar question... Where the fuck did he-"

SparkMatrix stopped when he realized something was... Off. His voice was different. SparkMatrix looked down at his hands and saw that... They were small again. Like back when he was only thirteen.

"...Uh... Hazel?" he asked as he got on the comm, "I think we have a problem."

To SparkMatrix's horror though... There wasn't a response. He looked around at where he was and saw a lot of people were staring at him. And what's more...

"Wait... Paris? I'm in Paris? Why the fuck am I in Paris?" he murmured, "and why are these people..."

"Who's that boy?" asked one bystander.

"Is he a victim of an Akuma?" asked another bystander.

SparkMatrix raised an eyebrow.

"Boy? Akuma?" he murmured as he turned around again, "I'm like... In my twenties du-"

But when SparkMatrix saw himself in the reflection of a nearby clothing store, he froze. He raced over to the reflection and got a closer look. SparkMatrix raised his hand, then he let it drop. He squatted, then he rose to his feet. He did Pennywise's iconic dance even.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

There was no question about it. SparkMatrix was an twenty-one year old in his thirteen year old body again, while in his fully upgraded suit of armor.

"W-W-W-W-What the? What the fuck!? What!? The fuck!?" he exclaimed, "h-h-how is this!? How did I!? Whaaaaaaat!?"

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" asked a cheery voice.

SparkMatrix turned around and saw two costumed teens standing right behind him. One was a girl with blue hair, blue eyes and dressed in a ladybug jumpsuit, with a matching mask and the other was a blonde-haired boy with green eyes, wearing a slick black jumpsuit with a belt around his waist, a black mask, and... Cat ears.

"You're certainly a new face," said the cat boy, "but I can't really make heads or tails with you. What do you think m'lady?"

"I agree," said the ladybug girl, "finding out where the Akuma is on him is going to be tricky."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Now just hold on you guys, who the devil even are you?"asked SparkMatrix.

"Introductions? Guess Hawkmoth didn't tell you about us," said the ladybug girl, "you're looking at the heroes of Paris. Ladybug and Cat Noir."

As the girl, Ladybug, introduced themselves, SparkMatrix saw them draw... A yoyo and... A metal staff. SparkMatrix looked back and forth between them, taking this information in. Wherever he was... It sure as hell wasn't his Paris.

"...A girl wearing a form-fitting ladybug suit wielding a yoyo and a blonde guy wearing a form-fitting cat suit and wielding a stripper pole?" he asked as he crossed his arms, "you two look like the start of a bad sex joke."

Ladybug blushed brightly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't know where you got that idea but Ladybug and I are just partners," said Cat Noir.

He gave her a sly grin.

"Unless-"

"Focus kitty," she huffed.

"Look guys, there seems to be some sort of mistake," said SparkMatrix, "I'm not some... friend of Hawkmoth, I'm a hero, like you."

"Nice try, but we met a few people that were akumatized by Hawkmoth who said the exact same thing," said Cat Noir.

"Cat Noir is right," said Ladybug, "we won't fall for your trick as well."

SparkMatrix raised his hands.

"...Guys... Now I might not look like it... But you do not want this fi-"

But SparkMatrix was cut off as Ladybug locked her yoyo around his wrists and pulled his arms forward.

"Cat Noir! I've got him! See if you can find out where the akuma is hidden!" she called out.

"Gonna be a little tricky, m'lady," said Cat Noir, "but I'll give it my best shot."

SparkMatrix sighed and rolled his eyes.

"...Alright... Avengers it is," he thought.
