Toxinelle was glad she was holding Claw's hand as they walked back through the portal. Already she smell the burning smell of ash in the air. She took a deep breath. The Supreme. Even when he didn't want to be in her thoughts, there he was, front and center. Even now, as they stood on a rooftop, his symbol lit up the orange Parisian sky.

Claw gripped her hand after seeing her face. They had thought that only one of them would survive. "Hey, we have friends now, allies. Cat and Ladybug won't let us down." She smiled at him. Even now he was trying to comfort her. The smoke from the fires stung at her eyes. "Let's go to the hideout and regroup."

Claw nodded, and they traveled down into the sewers to the small hideout. It wasn't much, but to them, it was happy place that only they knew. "Tea or coffee?" Claw asked, selecting mugs from the cupboard. "Do you even have to ask? Coffee?" Claw smiled, his eyes bright with humor. He filled water in the kettle setting on the stove to boil.

"Hey, come here," he opened his arms from Toxinelle, wrapping his arms around her. "You stayed by my side," she whispered, her voice muffled in his chest. He lifted her chin with a gentle finger. "Why wouldn't I? We're partners, and I've had a massive crush on you ever since I met you." Toxinelle blushed.

"No, even when you saw me, the real me, you didn't run away. The girl with scars across her cheeks, the girl who just wants to be loved." "M'lady, you have always been beautiful to me. Even when we have our spats."

The kettle boiled and Toxinelle stepped back, sitting down at the kitchen table. "I'm still going to call you Fleabag," she joked. "I wouldn't expect anything else, Cockroach," he said, setting down her coffee cup and a small plate of cookies.

Toxinelle wrapped her hands around the warm mug, staring across at her partner. The words I love you still stuck in throat, but there was plenty of time to tell him.

"Do you think they know each other's idenites?" Claw asked, breaking into her thoughts. "I don't know, but in every universe we're meant for each other."
