Sophie blinked as looked up at Cat Noir pulling her up, "Cat Noir?
The hero pulled Sophie up, "We can talk later. We need to hurry."
"What, I just had the weirdest dream?" She muttered as she felt Tikki tapping her cheek.
Wait, Cat Noir told Sophie to hurry and Tikki was with her…
"Oh no."
…
While Sheller, Monkey Boy, and Rita Rogue had stopped the akuma easily they were having an awful time trying to stop the villains. At some point Rowdy had left but that still left Squeak, Cobra, Dragonstorm, and Mayuri.
"This isn't going well for us," Sheller commented looking at Monkey Boy, "How much longer are Cat Noir and Ladybug going to be?"
Monkey Boy paused, honestly he hadn't thought it would be that long at all. Thats why he had gone to get help.
"Listen just hand over the miraculous-" Mayuri started but was cut off.
Suddenly there was a flash of light overhead and a flurry of red bugs flew overhead.
"Oh, no," Squeak muttered in realization.
"Oh yes," Rita smiled.
"Not again!" Dragonstorm cried as he reached forward to at least try to grab Monkey Boy's miraculous but found himself being kicked away from the boy by Rita.
"Hands off the kid!" She growled.
Dragonstorm glared, raising his sword when in a flash of almost lightning, Cat Noir and Ladybug appeared.
Lightning sparked off their sonic forms as they fell away and they appeared in there normal forms. The pair looked surprised at the fox and turtle heroes.
Cat Noir gave Monkey Boy a look as she gave Ladybug a gentle tap and motioned to her to look at the villains.
Suddenly Mayuri flew over and swung at Ladybug with her bladed fan, but Cat Noir pulled Ladybug out of the way and gave Mayuri a kick to get her away from the hero.
Before Monkey Boy could blink the teenagers were attacking each other.
Sheller had wrestled Cobra's arm away from him to prevent him from using second chance. Rita had corner Squeak as not to let her escape , and Ladybug was dodging the attacks from Dragonstorm.
Soon the clash was over as everyone looked shocked at Ladybug hearing her miraculous beep.
Dragonstorm smirked at this, "Looks like someone is unlucky today."
Cat Noir held up her hand, "I can make this your unlucky day, Cataclysm." Her hand lit up black.
Mayuri looked from the hand to the other heroes then to Cat's glaring eyes, "Let's go guys."
"What? But Mayuri!" Dragonstorm protested but stopped as he saw Cobra and Squeak already leaving.
"Cat Noir is not playing today let's go," Mayuri warned as she turned around and was followed by the upset Dragonstomr who gave Ladybug a dirty look as they left.
"Aren't we going to chase them?" Rita protested as Sheller collapsed in relief.
"No, Ladybug has to destransform soon," Cat Noir commented as another beep went off and she picked up a rock to destroy to appease her cataclysm, "And we don't know where your at either time wise."
"Speaking off who are you suppose to be?" Ladybug asked pointing at the two.
"I'm Rita Rogue!" Rita explained as she struck a pose.
"Sheller."
Ladybug gave a look of that didn't explain anything as Monkey Boy spoke up, "There the heroes I chose to help while waiting on you."
"And you are?" Ladybug asked looking at the monkey hero.
"He's Monkey Boy. I'll explain later," Cat Noir explained as two beeps went off signaling that Cat and Ladybug were even closer to changing back, "You better go, Bug."
Ladybug looked very stressed. "But…"
"I'll talk to you later. Promise," Cat Noir smiled sincerely.
The hero nodded and jumped away.
Cat Noir noted a flash behind her and looked to see Zacharie and Nina handing the miraculous back to Monkey Boy, "Are you…"
….
"..,Kidding me? My friends?" Emma asked as she stuffed her bag with clothes.
"They had chi that worked," Hugo explained looking upset, "Are you upset with me?"
The girl sighed and walked over and ruffled his hair, "No, I'm sorry for seeming that way. I'm just scared and stressed. Unfortunately, It looks like all my fellow heroes are people I care about and I'm just worried."
Hugo looked at his tired, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine," Emma replied, "I understand. I was busy saving Sophie. You were busy being a hero and I'm proud of your quick thinking."
Hugo smiled at that.
….
"Are you okay?" Chloé asked Sophie as she saw her in the living room on the way out of the apartment.
Sophie looked sadly up at her mother from the couch, "Mom, I'm in love with Emma."
Chloé looked at her blankly, "Yes?"
The girl looked at her mom surprised, "aren't you going to say more than that?!"
"Honey, I'm dating Kagami. Not to mention I've seen the way you are together," the woman commented, "and no offense Emma has clearly been into you for a while I've been told by everyone."
"Okay, yes but Emma won't date me because of the whole me dating Lous thing," Sophie cried into a couch pillow, "And today just….well today showed me how deeply I actually care for her."
Chloe sat beside her, "Sophie, I can honestly say relationships are weird and tangled. Everybody means a little something different to everyone else and relationship and people grow and change. Look at me, I went from a selfish hero in a disaster marriage to a happy mother in a loving relationship with another ex-hero."
Sophie looked up at her mom perplexed.
"You and Emma may get together but you may not. But I have to say Emma's parents were disasters in high school with the love web," Chloe added as she gave Sophie a kiss on the cheek.
"Love web?" Sophie asked as she watcheded her mom stand up and head to the door.
"Oh, its a whole thing. Ill tell you later, it felt like every had a crush on Adrien, Marinette, or both of them," she replied as she headed out the door, "I'm going over to Kagami I should be date tonight."
Sophie nodded and waved, "Love you."
"Love you too, Soph," Chloe replied, closing the door.
….
Louis groaned as he ice his shoulder. Jesus, that Cat Noir had a mean kick. He heard footsteps and turned about to see his oldest sister walking by with a backpack and cat carrier.
"Hey, you alright?" Emma asked, looking at Louis with the ice pack.
"Just pulled something at fencing," the boy lied and noted the bags, "You spending the night at Iris's?" He had previously seen her carry her cat over to sleep overs to Zach's or Iris's.
"Um, yeah," She replied muttering, "Did you mean what you said a while back? About not caring about me and Sophie dating?"
Louis looked at his sister's almost pleading green eyes. Did he care? He hoped not. Talking to his doctor had let him talk out his feelings, about not losing things and not owning people. Besides if he and Emilie got those Miraculous he could change the world so he and Sophie never dated in the first place and he wouldn't hate Emma cause she would never go to live with Gabriel and Nathalie in America.
"I just want my family to be happy, Emma."
…
Sophie opened her bathroom door and jumped as she saw Emma sitting on her bed playing with Robin and Alice, "Emma?! How did you get in here?!"
The girl pointed to her window, "It's pretty easy." she tapped her ring.
Right, Emma was Cat Noir. She fell in love with the same girl twice.
Speaking of which, she looked around, "Where's um…"
"Tikki and Plagg?" Emma asked awkwardly, "They decided to visit the other kwami...They figured we needed a proper talk. Since…"
"Yeah," Sophie added as she decided to plop on the bed beside Emma causing the cats to jump off and head to the other room.
They sat in silence for a minute, not noticing the other was playing with their yang/yin necklace.
The blonde broke the silence saying, "I really love you. You know? I'm not playing, or experimenting."
"I know," Emma replied softly, "In that wish world you created, it seemed the only thing you really changed was making me happy. You just wanted me to be happy, and blonde for some reason."
That caused a laugh to erupt from Sophie, "Oh, god. I don't know what I was thinking. It didn't look that great on you."
"I think I pulled it off," the older girl replied, "But, in all seriousness. You want me to be happy?"
Sophie looked at the girl unsure, "Of course. I love you, your happiness is a big part of that."
"Okay," Emma took a big breath, "what would make me happy, is if you dated me?"
There was a beat of silence before Sophie stood up and looked at her incredulously, "What? What changed? Why now?"
The other girl looked ashamed before standing up too and taking Sophie's hand, "I was being stupid. I thought I was moving on, but look, that was just me falling deep in love with you, by falling in love with Ladybug. I can't escape my feelings for you. And honestly? I don't want to. I have to accept that. We have baggage with Louis but that can't stop us and it shouldn't. I love you, Sophie Leon and Ladybug. So please. Date me like we should have been doing already."
The blonde glared down at the dark haired heroine.
Her reply finally came with her tackling Emma to bed and kissing her.
….
"Time for Tikki Talk," Tikki said as she ate a cookie, "So the pink potion we have is called the liberation. And like we said before it allows us to break the hold of one victim of the akuma from the hold of the akuma. But it has to be willingly done. Very confusing, I know."
"Are we really not going to talk about how they know each others identities and are probably getting together?" Stompp asked.
"We aren't jinxing this!" Plagg yelled angrily, "I can't deal with any more shenanigans!"
All the other kwami floated away from him scared.
This caused Hugo to look confused from his nintendo, "you okay over there?"
They all nodded blankly as Hugo put his headphones back on.
Everyone sighed and waved to the reader, "See you next time!"
