Emma and Sophie's eyes met, both filled with confusion

It was Emma who broke eye contact "I know Sophie. I've met her a few times."

Sophie slowly raised her finger and pointed it at her, "Your name is Emma Agreste?"

The Agreste girl nodded, "I guess we never traded last names."

"Sophie!" Hugo went over to said girl smiling, "You have to be friends with Emma! She is so cool! She wiped the floor with me in all my games and she showed me all these cool soccer tricks! Oh and she's been living in New York so she does get lost a lot in the city! That's why were so late getting home…"

Sophie tuned out the boy's rambling, she liked Hugo but he did a little caught up in his stories. Emma shifted uncomfortable as she glanced at Louis who was looking a little confused between the girls. Finally Hugo stopped as he noticed the rolls his grandmother was pulling form the oven and wandered over to try to take some.

Louis looked at Sophie confused, "Where was I when you meet?"

"You've been busy with photography club remember?" Sophie answered poking his nose.

The boy nodded thoughtfully.

"I'm sweating I'm going to shower!" Emma exclaimed as she left the room quickly.

Sophie watched her leave as Louis muttered, "Geez."

…..

Louis Agreste and Sophie Léon had been dating for 4 months but had known each other since they were 12 probably. In that time, Louis had revealed he had an older sister. But he also had revealed that he had mixed feelings on the subject. Particularly that he was not fond of her. That he thought she was rather selfish leaving Louis and Hugo when they really needed her after the death of their parents. That she never cared to visit them while in New York. He had blatantly said he outgrew the idea of having a big sister. While he knew his grandfather on his father's side was the real reason she wasn't around, she still never made a big effort to be their for him or Hugo.

Louis had said all those things to Sophie and she was having a hard time believing all those things about Emma. The sixteen year old girl had ditched her lunch to feed Hugo and the youngest Agreste seemed to love her. So, was it just Louis opinion?

Tom Dupain put the salad on the table then looked at Sophie, "Since Louis and Hugo are helping set the table with Sabine would you mind getting Emma?"

"Sure."

The blonde left the room and went downstairs to the room that had to be Emma's. Previously it had been the guest bed room but now must hers since Louis and Hugo shared the big bedroom up the stairs.

She knocked on the door, "Emma?"

There was no reply so she cracked it and saw the room was still empty, "Huh? Still in the shower?" She wandered in.

"You shouldn't come in without permission," Tikki scolded from her hiding place in her jacket.

"Tikki chill," Sophie said as she looked at her desk seeing pictures on her with Gabriel Agreste and a stern woman. Pictures of Hugo and Louis, Tom and Sabine, Emma with the red headed teens, and a picture of a blonde man and asian woman.

Eventually turned and looked at her bed and nightstand beside it, that had pill bottles sitting on it. She looked at them picking one up.

"It's an antidepressant."

"Shit!" Sophie yelled as she turned to see Emma at the door, hair dripping wet towel around her neck, wearing a bright green shirt and black sweatpants, "Don't do that!"

Emma said nothing and walked over to where she was and took the pill bottle from her and took one of the pills and then picked up her glasses, "Any other questions?"

The blonde didn't like this snipping attitude, "Why did you have all these?"

Emma put the glasses on but didn't look at her, "Long story short? You know how my parents died? I was the only one in the car that survived. So, I developed Survivor's Guilt. That's actually why I was with my grandfather in the United States. He got me a lot of help while there."

"Oh," Sophie didn't actually know what survivor's guilt entailed but she had vaguely heard of it, "So, dinner?"

Emma sat on her bed, "I'm actually not hungry. Tell my grandparents I'm skipping please."

"I don't think you should-"

"No offense Sophie, but please leave," Emma cut off, "I'm pretty tired."

Sophie looked at Emma, she looked tired but something else too, "Okay, see you tomorrow?"

"Sure."

As soon as she shut the door, Tikki whispered, "Ladybug, should check on her later."

"Right."

…..

Emma knows she had a lot of issues. Most did stem from that car crash from when she was 6 and they really affected a good portion of her life. Relationships was a major part affected. She had almost had a breakdown when she realized she liked girls and it took a major talking to with Nathalie and Gabriel to get her to accept it and that had only been the tip of that iceberg. She had to deal with people using her for money and dealing with her self worth issues. It was a lot.

But, the idea she had begun falling for her brother's girlfriend stung a lot. She hadn't like anyone in a while and this sucked hard.

Plagg floated out his hiding place under her bed, " Kid, you alright?"

"No, not really," She admitted as she fiddled with her ring, "Can we go for a run?"

Plagg nodded.

"Thanks. Plagg, Claws Out!"

…..

Cat Noir liked to think that no one would have noticed her screaming her head off at the Eiffel Tower. But that was wrong. Very wrong.

"Watch out!"

Cat Noir turned to see an akuma floating towards her. Okay, she deserved this. She was moping about "losing a girl" she had known for two days. But, still couldn't let that happen.

She jumped back and swiped her hand down at his, "Cataclysm!"

With one last look at the purple butterfly her glowing black hand touched it turning it to dust.

Cat Noir looked at who had warned her and blinked at the person. It was a man dressed as a turtle, "Carapace."

"Hey, there. Um, Cat Noir."

….

Sophie kissed her boyfriend by and ran off quickly.

"Spots on, Tikki! We need to check on Emma!"

One transformation later she was on the roofs off Paris doubling back and running right into Rena Rogue.
