Emilie was standing ridgely in the corner on the roof. Emma fidgeted nervously as they sat. Emma and Emilie had never really been alone together, the last time had been the night before fateful day, them alone in their bedroom asleep in their bunk beds.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Emma asked trying to seem calm.
Emilie didn't look at her, "Do you remember that day well?"
Emma didn't need be told what day she was talking about, "I wish I didn't. I've had nightmares for years. Of watching you slip from my hands. The screams."
Emilie still doesn't look at her, "I use to wake up screaming all the time as I fell into the water. As you let go."
Emma looked surprised at Emilie. They had been 6. She couldn't believe that Emma had done that on purpose, "I didn't let go, I was 6. My hands were covered in blood, you were heavy and you only have one arm since the other broke in the crash."
Emilie still didn't look at her, "Do you miss Mom and Dad? Do you wish they had survived? That we grew up with them?"
The older twin sighed. She knew this game, 'The What if Game'. Her therapist had worked hard to get her from doing that, "Of course. But the past is past and we can't change it. Besides we wouldn't be the current is if they had."
There was a hmm from Emilie that time as she finally looked over at Emma, a sad look on her face, "I guess I'm just wishful. I hadn't seen anything from our parents in 10 years. Now I get to see a bunch of stuff with mom all the time."
"Yeah, Grandpere Gabriel and Grandmere Natahlie had a bunch of stuff from both Mom and Dad growing," Emma softly smiled at memories of Gabriel showing her pictures of Adrien and Marinette at fashion events in their college years.
"I noticed their is not as much stuff of dad's here," Emilie's eyes seemed to be drawn to her right hand and the silver ring on it, "Louis told me that's dad's ring right?"
Emma stiffened a little at the mention of the cat miraculous. It wasn't a secret she got a ring from her Dad, but she didn't broadcast it and didn't mention it to others. The less attention on her miraculous the better, "Uh, yeah. Louis didn't want it so I kept it."
"Dad, use to wear it all the time," Emilie thought out loud, as she moved to stand if front of her sister, "Can see it? It's been so long."
Emma froze and looked at Emilie in shock, Plagg in her pocket is restless at this and moves around her pocket as if telling her no, and Emma didn't want to take it off either. She hadn't since the disastrous pool incident.
"Please Em-Em, It's dad's ring," Emilie reasoned as she held her hand out to her sister.
Emma looked at the ring and remember how she felt first realizing it was her dad's old ring and she wanted Emilie to feel that too. It was just for a second. Just so Emilie can see the ring that was always sitting on their father's right hand.
Emma hesitantly pulled it off her finger as she still felt Plagg's protest from her short's pocket. She gently held it out for her to see.
Suddenly, Emilie ripped it out of Emma's hand completely.
"Wow, Emmy! Be Careful-" Before could finish that sentence a fist collide with her face and she found herself on the ground.
Emma was shocked as she held her cheek and looked up at her younger sister. Emilie face was now filled with anger.
"I can't believe you would ever give your miraculous away like that," Emilie said with annoyance in her voice.
…
Iris was confused she watched Louis sit nervously in a chair looking at the trap door. She had noticed Louis had been a bit protective of Emilie since she had first started visiting the Dupain-Cheng household, (Tom and Sabine had asked to meet Emilie's adoptive parents but Emilie said they were out of the country currently) but this was ridiculous. Emma clearly loved Emilie, she was fighting Sophie over Emilie! Emma wouldn't hurt Emilie.
Hugo cheered as he finished his last math question and gave a Iris a hug for the help. The blonde boy jumped up and went to put his homework up.
Iris stood up from the boys bed and walked over to where the ladder is. That caused Louis to move in front of her, "Where are you going? They want privacy."
Iris was surprised at Louis, "I'm just checking on them."
"I'm sure their fine," the boy waved off as he faked a smile.
The older girl narrowed her eyes at him and opened her mouth to say more when her blood ran cold at shouting.
"PLAGG NO!"
"PLAGG! DUSUU UNIFY!"
"EMILIE STOP!"
Iris's jaw dropped as Hugo raced over to try to get up to his sisters. But before he reacted the ladder Hugo was held back by Louis.
"Lou! Let me go! Emma is-"
"Emma will be fine! Emilie just needs her miraculous!" Louis reason as he put his hands on Hugo shoulders trying to explain.
At the words miraculous Iris took off while Louis was distracted not caring to get more answers from him as the knowledge that her best friend was in trouble took over her senses and she raced up the ladders to the roof hatch.
"Iris stop!"
She didn't though as she busted onto the roof and took in the scene before her.
Emma was on the ground holding her stomach and looking up at who Iris assumed must be Emilie. Emilie was dressed in a suit almost identical to the Mayuri outfit but with a black and blue undersuit and black and blue mask now, along with clawed black gloves.
"Emma!" Iris called as she ran over to check on her friend and glare at Emilie, "Your Mayuri?!"
"Emilie!" Louis called as he ran up to the roof, "You got it? Then let's get out of here!"
"You….You're in on this?" Emma coughed as she stood up still holding her stomach as Iris moved to hold her up, "Louis What the fuck?! Emilie is Mayuri! Mayuri!"
"Yeah, and your Cat Noir," Louis shot back.
"Yeah, she's a hero! Not a villain terrorist trying to steal the miraculous!" Iris shot back looking at Emilie, no wonder she looked familiar. It wasnt cause she looked like Emma, It cause she literally has seen her before. Emilie was the villain she let inside her house to recover from the rain, "Emilie, we can work this out-"
"Iris, I'm sorry we can't. We are going to use the cat and ladybug miraculous and make our wish," Emilie explained in a hard tone.
"And you think Luna Moth is going to allow that?" Emma looked at them like they're idiots.
"For real, Emilie I saw your face. You're telling me you think Luna Moth will let you make a wish?" Iris asked narrowing her eyes at the girl, referring to the bruises she found that night.
Louis looked confused at Emilie, "What's she talking about?"
Emilie glared at Iris, "Nothing. Transform. We're going to knock them out and head to part 2 of the plan."
"Sorry, Em. I know your a hero but it's to get our parents back," Louis explained as he raised his wrist revealing something familiar to everyone, "Longg, Bring the Storm!" and just like that Dragonstorm was there now instead of Louis.
Iris was speechless Dragonstorm was Louis?!
"This….This doesn't make sense…..none of this makes sense…." Emma started hyperventilating, "You're my sister and brother! You're my little sister and little brother! I couldn't have been fighting you! I couldn't have…..I….Just give Plagg back! This can't be happening!"
Iris could see the being of what of Emma's spirals and this time Plagg wasn't there to stop it.
Louis raises it sword to knock them back when the trapdoor opens and Hugo popped out, "Iris catch!"
Iris catch an item throw at her and she stares in shock as she saw a golden comb in her hands that as she touched it a bee kwami popped out, "My queen!"
Hugo glares at the villains, "Leave Iris and Emma alone!"
"Hugo, It's Louis and Emilie," Louis tried to explain, "You don't understand wh-"
"Xuppu! Showtime!" Hugo cried taking off his beanie and revealing his miraculous as he transformed.
Taking the cue Iris slide the comb in her hair and shouted, "Pollen! Buzz on!"
In an instant Iris was now dressed in a bee outfit very familiar to Queen Bee but with a hood and mouth mask and Hugo was in his monkey boy hero outfit.
"What?! You dragged Hugo into this Emma?!" Emilie cried at the sight of their baby brother dressed up.
"You really don't get to say that!" Iris cried standing protectively in front of Emma who was still hyperventilating in a clear panic attack.
"Uproar!" Hugo called summoning a banana.
"Venom!" Iris called as well getting ready to strike.
"Why are you so willing to stand by Emma! I'm your brother!" Louis cried angrily.
Emilie grabbed his shoulder, "Let's just go. Part 2 is already started. Uproar and Venom are things we don't want to get stuck in and this will all be moot as soon as we make our wish."
Louis wanted to fight this but gave in and looked at the heroes and sighed. Before the villains jumped off the roof away.
Iris sighed as she was worried to actually fight them.
Hugo sighed as she looked sadly at Iris, "Was that reallyEmilie and Louis?"
Iris nodded sadly as the boy looked devastated.
Hugo and Iris turned their attention to the calming down Emma, "Hey, breath. Its okay breath."
"Sophie…."
That caused Iris to blink, "Sophie?"
Emma threw her tears wheezed out, "Sophie. We….we have to call Sophie….."
"Right, to tell her about what happened," Hugo nodded like it was obvious.
"No…No…It's cause they'll go after her next…." Emma tired to explain, "To go after the Ladybug miraculous…."
…..
Sophie glanced at her phone and saw it was a call from Iris. Huh, she didn't call her often, she went to answer it but paused as a knock came on the front door. She put her phone down and got up and opened the door.
The blonde was very surprised to see her girlfriend at the front door smiling at her.
"Can I come in?" Emma smiled.
Author's Note
Oh no! What is a name for an evil Cat/Peacock. BlackWing? Shadow Wing? Or Hera? I'll take suggestion for that and Iris' hero name.
Thanks for reading! Please comment it gives me the strength to write on.
Next Time- Sophie thinks Emma's acting weird. Very weird and why isn't Plagg coming out?
