#i can't wait for him to be adopted in the dupain-cheng family

[roseshower]

Who Would've Thought A Crack Pairing

—would have me in a chokehold like this??? Seriously, in what world (this one) would I have ever come across a Damian Wayne x Marinette Dupain-Cheng fanfic and loved it to the point where I'M writing about them??? Dear God.

Alright so. Hey. Shameless call out for a ficlet I'm writing about (okay so I KNOW I haven't been updating my other ones...). Wait before I continue—look. My favorite of all the Batfam is Damian Wayne. He's like. My kid. My child. Sure he stabs the shit out of his family at first but he ain't do nothing wrong bruh he's just misunderstood fr. And then there's Marinette. My favorite character from back when I was in middle school. I thought it would be silly to look up some MLB x Batman Fics and. Jesus Christ. I found MANY. (Not enough.) And then I saw "Damian Wayne/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug" and I thought??? No fucking way??? IS THIS REAL

I read the fic. Which fic? I won't gatekeep. "No, Mr. Wayne, You Can't Adopt Me!" by ggomoz (ggomo_springtime) on Ao3 is a FUCKING BANGER I read it for shits and giggles because I was like "hah???? NO WAY" and my god. My GODDDD it was AMAZING. I know I sound like I'm glazing rn but my god y'all have to read it if you guys like Damian x Marinette shit. And also Marinette having great interactions with the BatFam. Primarily Bruce Wayne, as you can see by the title.

But yeah. Holyyyy hell. That was one of the fics that inspired mine. The other was "the reports associated with my existence have been significantly misconstrued" by davidstennant on Ao3 and ANOTHER was "for us to collide" by LadyLiterature on Ao3.

ANYWAY. Enough rambling. The whole reason for this post was to present to you the fic I've been working on...

Help! My Boss Is In Love With Me!

Synopsis:

Rumors say that the youngest son of Bruce Wayne is in love with his assistant. Marinette immediately debunks these rumors—her grouchy boss has no love in his body for anyone, let alone for her. So then, if it's just a rumor, why does she keep catching him staring at her like she's just hung the moon?

Or, Damian Wayne accidentally acquires feelings for his lovely assistant Marinette, much to his frustrations and everyone else's delight.

Now... I know what you're thinking... "Ana what the fuck is this" and to tell you the truth I DONT KNOW??? DAMIAN X MARINETTE IS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF ME

but yeah if you guys want a lil taste for what you may be reading, I'll throw a crumb rn

Internally, he wilts at the sight of her perfection.

The feelings have grown more over the years he's had the luck of having her working for him, and they came to a head months ago in the middle of a cumbersome night of dealings he wonders how his father dealt with all on his own.

And it's because he saw her run into the damn glass door of his office.

[gentil-minou]

I've read a lot of fics where Adrien and Marinette decide they can't be in a romantic relationship while he's "mentally unhealthy", usually because of depression and/or finding out his father is Hawk Moth.

Usually they'll continue to have an intense friendship where Marinette is checking in on him daily and supporting him emotionally. I wanted your view.

Do you think they should avoid getting romantically involved until he's "mentally healthy" and, if so, why would a romantic relationship be more of a problem than a platonic one?

I don't want to criticize any one person's opinion or hc but personally, as someone who has multiple comorbidities that wax and wane and constantly have to be dealt with, I think it is possible to have a healthy relationship even while under such trying circumstances. Done in a conscious way that shows both parties are understanding of the other's boundaries I think this is entirely possible.

I've read a few fics that deal with this (Plugging Penumbra by@heartfulselkie for the one millionth time because I thought the portrayal of Adrien dealing with PTSD while Mari supports him was so well done, but heed the warnings please).

Social support is one of the most beneficial treatments for any mental health problem, some of my favorite research papers go into this idea that kids/teens with more peer support are more resilient and learn how to manage depression/anxiety a little better than those without.

I don't think adrinette needs to wait for one of them to "get better" because realistically the trauma they face is going to be lifelong and something they will have to work through recovering for the rest of their lives. And that's where I think a romantic relationship can be helpful, as long as boundaries are put in place and neither is over reliant on the other as their only support (which is why I stress my plagg and kwamis and dupain-cheng family and all of their friends adopting adrien post HM because he needs all of the support). Personally, I think it is entirely possible for them to have a healthy relationship with each other, just like I think it's possible for anyone dealing with a mental health problem.

Graveyard Siblings (5)

[Masterlink] (PART 1) (PART 4)

-----

Mari and Cass sometimes switch their suits as they have the same body type. Cass would sometimes go out in full Hellbat gear and give the appearance that Hellbat is out more often than she actually is.

So Orphan/Black Bat also sometimes uses guns.

This also helps with concealing secret identities. Maria was rescued by Hellbat from Joker’s Henchmen. (Vicki Vale was getting sus of the new Wayne and Hellbat.)

Unfortunately since Hellbat rarely comes out and she had already made all of her appearance for the month and it wasn’t a busy weekend, the public had come to the conclusion that Hellbat has a crush on the newest Wayne.

Basically everyone thought that Mari has a crush on herself. Which led to some teasing and escalated to Mari announcing that Jason had a crush on Red Hood on live TV.

It didn’t help that a video of Red Hood and Jason re-enacting Romeo and Juliet with Jason on his apartment balcony and Red Hood on the roof was posted on the internet a few days later. (Thank you, Trixx and Tim’s awesome video editing skills)

Sadly, it was taken down 24 hours later. (Tim and the others have multiple copies of it, on the cloud or hardware, hidden around in the manor and their respective safehouses in the US.)

Some people kidnapped Jason to hopefully gain leverage over the Red Hood and to their dismay and nightmares for years to come, Hellbat came instead.

One lucky and incredibly brave reporter asked why she was there instead of her brother.

Mari being a little shit, “Red Hood may be a tough and scary guy but when it comes to his feelings, my brother is a chicken.”

Pictures of Jason tackling Hellbat somehow never made it into any papers.

The criminal underworld hasn’t taken a hint and Jason has been kidnapped a few more times.

Other times Jason was kidnapped:

Robin: Red Hood made a fool of himself in front of Todd recently and he doesn’t dare to show his face.

Spoiler: He was taking too damn long checking his hair even though I told him that no one was going to see it under his helmet and he was so offended that he is currently sulking in the bathroom.

Red Robin: Red Hood can’t think straight when he is around Jason. I mean have you seen the dude.

Arsenal*during a rare visit to Gotham*: Red Hood owes me one now.

Dick finally ends it by going out as Red Hood and rescuing Jason. Gotham is happy that Redson (Red Hood x Jason) ship has finally sailed.

-------

Kate, Babs, Cass, Steph and Mari were out on Mari’s first girls’ night since her move to the manor.

This is set a little after she came back from Paris with Jason.

They watched rom-com movies, did hair and nails, gossip about the superhero community and bitch and vent to each other.

Marinette off-handedly mentioned the crazy shits she had done during her stint as Ladybug. It started with asking about the T-rex in the Batcave and she mentions jumping into the mouth of a live one before.

Everyone in the room was shocked and after a few more questions, it was obvious that she was very reckless and self-sacrificing. Yep, she was going to fit into this crazy family just fine.

And Holy Shit. There is so much trauma packed into this kid. She needs lots of therapy.

Babs finally decided that they all needed to get out and have some fun. All in their respective suits and they went out.

Joined by Harley, Ivy and Selina.

Plagg came along because I want Plagg to meet Selina.

It was a chaotic night and it was a miracle that Bruce didn’t find out about what the girls did.

-------

Batman and Red Hood were on patrol together when Selina jumped in front of them.

“Hello, Boys”

“What do you want, Catwoman?”

“I want to meet my new prodigy, Kitty Noire.”

Cue Marinette jumping down from her hiding spot, transformed with the Black Cat Miraculous. “Hiya.”

Red Hood carries her like a potato sack and points his gun at the other two.

“Nope, she’s my sister and I called dibs. I adopted her. She’s off limits.”

“Legally, she’s mine.” Batman coughed out.

“I did it first. Emotionally. She’s my emotional support sister. You have plenty kids already, B and Selina, get your own.”

“Hey, I am still here and can hear you.”- Maria

-------

Alya was worried for Lila. She had been acting weirdly for the past month.

She looked very out of sorts. Her clothes weren’t in order and her hair was in disarray. She had bags under her eyes and her eyes looked wild. Lila didn’t look like herself at all.

She jumped at any sound and flinched at really sudden movements.

Alya tried to find out what was wrong with Lila and received vague answers.

One time Lila said that Marinette is to blame.

Alya reaches the somewhat right conclusion that Marinette was haunting Lila and hurting her because Lila used to come to school with bruises and claims that Marinette did it.

Alya goes to Marinette’s grave to desecrate it. (Yeah, go anger the ghost that is haunting someone.)

Unfortunately, the moment she tries to do something, the sky turns dark, clouds appear and the wind begins whipping. A Lightning strike near her and there was a cloaked figure beside her with a scythe.

All Alya saw from the figure was the blood-red lips in a very sharp grin and glowing blue eyes, raising the scythe high before she ran away. The scythe swiped the air where her head once was.

Alya didn’t get far before she tripped and blacked out.

When she woke up, she found herself in the hospital with no idea how she got there.

She was told that somebody found her with a concussion in the park and took her to the hospital.

------

The next one on Mari’s hit list was Natalie.

She wasn’t as involved in the whole thing like Lila, Adrien or Gabriel but she still did it anyways.

Her punishment is a little mild compared to the others and was more of a warning to Gabriel.

Natalie woke up in the middle of the night to see a not-so-dead Ladybug sitting on her vanity chair with the moonlight from the windows illuminating her body and her neck. Her suit was torn exactly like the day of that battle with blood dripping down her arms and from her open wounds. The shadows kept her face hidden but glowing blue eyes stared at her.

Natalie was scared at first. But she regained her normal cool composure.

“I assume you are here to extract your revenge for aiding in your unfortunate demise. But before you kill me, I regret my part in my entire thing and I apologize for everything I have done against you even though I knew it was wrong.”

“At least you show remorse over what you have done. Visiting my grave when even my parents didn’t and leaving flowers. I love those purple hyacinths by the way. Did you know that they mean sorry in the language of the flowers?”

“Why are you stalling my death? Just kill me already.”

“Madam Sancouer. You just played a minor role in my downfall compared to what Adrien and Lila Rossi did to me. And you showed more guilt over your actions than they ever did and Adrien claimed to have loved me. And like I have told the Bats, Death is too swift of a punishment.”

“Who are the bats?”

“None of your concern. You should be more concerned about yourself.”

“Lila sees the ghosts of her past and they haunt her. Adrien is in a living nightmare and has no control over his actions and is despised by everyone. What are you going to do to me?”

“Well, since you show some guilt over your actions, let me tell you a little secret. I am not dead. Not really. I mean I did die. But there was a spell in the grimoire that revived me. It took a few days to work.”

Marinette changed to her normal form. It was a little jarring to see an older Marinette Dupain-Cheng sitting on her vanity chair like it was a throne. The Ladybug suit and the wounds were gone. She looked a little familiar.

“Why are you telling me this? What was the point?” Natalie faltered as she wondered why the girl looked familiar. Marinette moved closer and her face was fully illuminated by the moonlight.

“I intend to take everything by which I mean everything from Gabriel Agreste for what he did.”

“M. Agreste just wanted his wife back. You just gave him your Miraculous, you would still have everything.”

“What difference would it make? Sure I had friends and family before but they turned out to be disappointing. I might have become a famous designer like I dreamed of and can't achieve because I died. Besides, he never said about wanting his wife to come back in his tedious monologues. For all we knew back then, he wanted them for world domination. He showed that he would end the world for them. For kwamis’ sake, he nearly started World War III, just for a pair of earring and a ring. He was willing to kill me to have her back. No wait, he did that too. If he actually read the translated grimoire or asked the Guardian or at least someone with magic for help instead or maybe used his head and made some who can heal as his champion using the Butterfly, we wouldn’t even be in this mess. Face it, Mme Sancour, your boss is a power-hungry and very controlling maniac who is also thankfully an idiot.”

“But- he- he just-. You are just a child, what do you know? M. Agreste knew what he was doing.”

“A child who had a normal life up until he tried to ruin it with his idiotic schemes and hiring Lila to do it. A child who had to fight a war on her own.”

“I am sorry you had to go through that but I doubt you and your little revenge rampage is going to solve anything.”

Ghostly Chains wrapped around Natalie’s body, squeezing tight like it was squeezing the life out of her.

“I was all for sparing you, you know. If you had actually listened to my side of the story, you would have spared from my ‘little revenge rampage’. This is going to be a little painful. Sorry about that.” In a tone that was definitely not sorry.

Pain coursed through Natalie’s body. Her skin crawled and itched as pitch back feathers grew out of it. Her bones turned to dust and reformed.

Where Natalie Sancour once was, there was a raven.

An omen of death and destruction for one Gabriel Agreste.

Marinette leaned down towards the raven. Natalie tried to peck her eye out but Marinette held the beak in a firm grip.

“Ah. ah ah. Luckily for you this is temporary. Mostly. Every night, you will assume this shape and each night the longer you will stay in this form. Slowly counting down the days until Gabriel’s downfall. Since you love helping him so much, you are going to help him know how long he has to live. The night you are a raven from sunset to sunrise, that sunrise starts the day Gabriel Agreste will be utterly destroyed.”

She released the beak and headed towards the window.

"Send him my regards."

With that, she was gone.

☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎

now playing ➪

girls ~ girl in red

they're so pretty, it hurts

i'm not talking 'bout boys

i'm talking 'bout girls

☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎

delilah sighed for what felt like the hundredth time that day.

it was the third day of her senior year and there was this one girl in her gym class and she could get her out of her mind.

'marinette dupain-cheng' she thought to herself. she remembered marinette looked like, big blue-bell eyes, black hair that almost looked blue, a cute heart shaped face.

'an angel- wait. what am i thinking?' she shook it off with a tinge of pink on her cheeks as she saw alfred pull in front of school.

she was so confused, she never felt this way for anyone else. and most certainly not for a girl.

"good afternoon, ms. delilah, i hope you had a good day at school." he greeted her.

" it was good, alfred." delilah replied shortly.

"that's great to hear." he said, with a small smile, this was the first time in her whole eight years of school she replied to his question.

'i'll ask alfred later.' she thought as she closed her eyes to think about the girl.

'marinette dupain-cheng.' she thought, and the blush on her face came back ever so slightly, which didn't go unnoticed by the driver, whose smile grew even wider.

☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎

once alfred stoped the car, delilah immediately went to her room, marinette still on her mind.

she plopped on her bad and huffed in frustration. she wished she could kill that pretty face-

'maybe no kill. she doesn't deserve that- why do i care.' she thought angrily at herself. why is she letting this girl in her thoughts.

"ms. delilah," she heard alfred through the door, "may i come in?"

"yes." she said. she didn't know why she said yes, but deep down, knew the time has come to ask alfred what was going on.

alfred knew everything.

everyone knew it. if you have a problem, tell alfred, that's if alfred didn't know already.

"ms. delilah, i saw you were stressed in the car, did anything happen at school?" alfred ask.

'of course he knew,' delilah sighed and looked up, 'might as well tell him.'

"there's this girl, she-" delilah couldn't finish her sentence without blushing.

"a girl?" alfred raised an eyebrow.

delilah paused, "i never felt this way, it's just- ugh!" she threw her head back against her pillow, "why is she having so much control of what i think! i haven't even talked to her! alfred! am i going insane?! is she brainwashing me?!"

"shh, delilah," alfred shushed, "it's okay."

"okay? okay?! alfred i'm not! why is this happening?!" she was on the verge of crying, she never cried, she was stronger than this, "look at me! i'm about to cry over what?! a girl! alfred-"

god, she was thankful for sound proof walls.

"ms. delilah, calm down. deep breaths. maybe you're attracted to her?"

delilah froze.

what. attracted? to a girl? delilah only though she could be attracted to males. but come to think of it, she never felt this way towards any males in her life. the males around her were hot -according to other people (not including her brothers of course)- but she never thought any of them were hot.

well, she did have a crush on wonder woman when she was younger, but who didn't?

"i- what?" delilah asked, sitting up, "like? i can't."

"what do you mean you can't?" alfred looked at delilah with a questioning gaze.

"i thought a female could only like males. that's when father did with kyle, grayson with gordon, and drake with brown."

delilah was on the verge of tears, alfred could see, his eyes softened and walked over to delilah.

"you can love who you want, delilah, regardless of gender." before he walked out the door, "dinner is in five."

and he walked out.

'what...' she looked at the door that alfred just walked out of with a small smile, 'this girl...'

she grabbed her phone and looked up girls loving girls.

‘lesbian’ she thought, ‘that’s it.’ she smiled for the first time and walked out of the door.

☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎

"so lil d, how was school?" richard grayson, who prefers to go by dick, asked his little sister.

"okay." she replied, putting potatoes onto her fork.

everyone paused and looked at her. she responded.

'fuck.' delilah thought as she looked up at her siblings, gordon, and brown, father, and selina.

dick was smiling wildly, next to him was barbra gordon, his fiancé, who was looking at her with a smile.

jason todd was shocked, he didn't bother hiding it, timothy drake was just as bad.

cassandra cain was shocked, but concealed it with a small smile. stephanie brown had a waffle sticking out of her mouth, looking at delilah as if she just asked to put more on her plate.

'why waffles for supper?'

bruce wayne, on the other hand, had a soft smile on his face, holding his wife's, selina kyle's, hand.

"that's good, can you tell us about it?" bruce asked, if possible, stephanie and dick's smile got wider than ever. tim and jason's became more shocked.

"it's nothing." delilah said curtly, not wanting to let her family know.

yes, she's been living them for eight years, but she still doesn't want them to know.

"maybe it’s a boy?!" dick asked, excitedly, jumping out of his seat.

"no way in hell is it a boy. if it is, i'll give you 1,000 bucks." jason said, not believing a single thing coming out of his adoptive brothers mouth.

delilah just looked down at her food, plucking her beans.

"no way, no fucking way!" jason said, looking as shocked as when delilah actually responded.

her family started talking about who it could be, never expecting it to be a girl.

and that pissed delilah off.

"what if it's not?!" delilah shouted, standing up, making everyone stop and look at her.

she saw that everyone was looking at her and calmed down.

"w-what if it's not." she repeated quieter, looking at her tray again.

"perhaps a female." delilah looked over to see alfred, who was smiling at delilah.

delilah didn't look to her family, scared of their reactions.

  "i'm- i'm sorry!" she stammered and ran out of the door.

she closed her door and laid down on her bed.

she felt the tears coming out of her eyes, and for the first time in her life, delilah let them go. it wasn’t a lot, just a simple ‘crying for no reason but there is a reason’.

or as grayson called it ‘normal’.

delilah heard a soft click of her door and didn’t bother turn.

“delilah,” she heard her father call her, “do you think we would abandon you just because you like a girl?”

“…” delilah turned to her father, who was shocked to see his daughter crying, “… i-i though you would be disappointed.”

“delilah, we can never be disappointed in you, we love you, i love you. come here.” he opened his arms.

delilah didn’t hesitated run into her father’s arms.

slowly, her family started to come into her room.

“thank you.” she whispered.

Lady Butterfly Part Four: Abracadabra

Lady Butterfly getting kinda scary... this part is kinda dark ngl...

Part 1 《 Part 2 《 Part 3 《 Part 4

I look down at the peacock miraculous. I can't create a sentibeing. I won't make that mistake again. But - I can control sentibeings that already exist. Surely, there had to be some somewhere, right? Other than me, of course.

If I can find at least one sentibeing, I can akumatize it and send it loose among Paris. It wouldn't dare break the akumatization, even if it could. If it did, I'd take back its amok.

My problem is tracking a sentibeing down after so many years is such a difficult task. Wishtracker would have been my best guess at a sentibeing still in existence, but who knows where that thing is now?!

I think back further to the first sentibeing I created. The one that damaged the peacock miraculous originally. The one that resulted in me discovering that I too am a sentibeing. It was back when Adrien was born. Amelie, my dear sister, was so entranced with him. She had always wanted a child of her own, but never had been able to have one. Her and her husband started considering adopting, but then I had a wonderful idea. Like... Build-a-Baby.

They agreed and I created Felix with the peacock.

Gabriel always resented him after that incident. It broke the peacock and gave me a mysterious illness. It wasn't Felix's fault, though.

I sigh. Felix. Quite the little magician, he became. He was family, but... sacrifices sometimes needed to be made.

"Nooroo, Duusu, Dual metamorphosis!" I command, becoming Lady Butterfly. I grab a purple slice of camembert from the container I snatched from my son's bedroom and crinkled my nose. I hate camembert.

I swallow it down and try not to vomit.

"Power up." I gulp, transforming into Rocket Butterfly, "Time for a family reunion."

...

Felix Graham de Vanily sat alone waiting for his mother to get home. He was practicing a magic trick with a coin when I fly in through the window, making him nearly fall out of his seat.

"Who are you?!" he demands to know.

"Felix, dear, it's me!" I reply with a grin, "Your beloved Aunt Emile! The one who created you with the peacock miraculous and died because of it. Well. I'm back!"

The negative emotion is already racing through my nephew's mind - it's too easy!

"I assume you've been told you're a sentimonster copy of my son?" I check, just to stir the pot..

"What?" Felix growls, "I'm not a copy of him!"

"Hate to break it to you, but you are." I reply, "I created you, remember? I was looking at Adrien the whole time. You're just a knock-off Agreste."

Felix scowls and I feel the anger building.

"How can you say that?" he says, "You were always so nice to me!"

"And I am being nice now too!" I assure him, "In fact, here's a little gift."

I pop open the top of my cane and release the akuma I brought with me, watching it flutter into the trick coin in Felix's hand.

"Abracadabra, I am granting you the power of deception and trickery. From now on, your magic tricks will be real magic and extremely powerful! All I ask in return are -"

"Ladybug's and Cat Noir's miraculous?" Felix huffs, "Never!"

Seriously Gabriel? What were you up to while I was gone?!

"Actually..." I smile, "You could also call them Marinette Dupain-Cheng's and Adrien Agreste's miraculouses."

Felix's mouth falls open. "Are you saying-"

"That Adrien is Cat Noir?" I cut in, "Exactly. So, do we have a deal?"

Felix hesitates a bit too long, so I pinch my fingers together and watch as he squirms in pain.

"Or should I take back your amok?"

"Your wish is my command, Aunt Emile." Felix sighs as darkness bubbles up around him.

"Oh, one more thing!" I add, "Be sure to call me Lady Butterfly from here on out."

....

Marinette and Adrien were hanging out in her room when they heard a thump on the roof above.

"That can't be good." Adrien swallows hard.

"Is that anyway to act when you're visited by your cousin?" a voice jokes as its owner hops down into the room from above, "The name's Abracadabra, and for my first trick, I will be taking those miraculouses."

"Tikki spots on!"

"Plagg claws out!"

Abracadabra laughs and takes out his magician's wand. With a quick flick, sparks begin shooting from the tip, firing at the heros as they dive for cover.

"This is why secret identities are important!" Ladybug whisper-yells at her partner, "I didn't know your cousin was even in town?"

"He wasn't supposed to be!" Cat Noir replies as the bed they were hiding behind vanishes.

"Hocus pocus!" Abracadabra chuckles, pointing his wand at Cat Noir, "Why don't we make this easy?"

"Felix, you don't have to do this!" Cat Noir states, "You are so strong willed, I know you can break it!"

"You're right, I know I could too." Abracadabra replies solemnly, "Unfortunately, sometimes life just isn't that easy, coz."

Without waiting to continue the conversation, Abracadabra spins the wand in his hand and vanishes in a poof of smoke.

"This is bad." Cat Noir gulps.

"She must have something on him." Ladybug decides, "But what?"

Outside, Abracadabra appears in the middle of the road.

"You could have gotten the miraculous right then and there!" I yell, "Need I remind you about our little arrangement? About what happens if you fail me?"

"Relax, Lady Butterfly." Abracadabra replies through gritted teeth, "The situation wasn't ideal."

"You have one more chance." I warn, "Unlike Shadowmoth, I don't like to play nice when I don't have what I want. He had the gift of patience and determination. I don't have the time for that."

"I understand." Abracadabra sighs, "I have a plan to get the miraculous. I simply need to corner the heros in a situation they can't possibly win - and then we bargain."

"Tick tock, Abracadabra." I hiss, "I'll be waiting."

Ladybug and Cat Noir climb outside onto the roof to try and see where the akuma went off to. They weren't expecting to see the magician standing on Marinette's balcony with Alya and Nino in a translucent box floating several hundred feet above the road.

"One step more and the box crushes them to dust." Abracadabra states cautiously, "One movement until I give the okay and your best friends turn into processed meat."

"You don't want to do this, Felix." Cat Noir begins, but with the wave of the magician's wand, a piece of duct tape appears over the cat's mouth.

"I don't have a choice." Abracadabra asserts, tapling the tip of his wand. At his command, the floor swells up around Ladybug's and Cat Noir's feet, holding them in place.

"Come on, Marinette! Adrien!" Abracadabra begs, "Let's just end this nightmare before anyone else gets hurt."

"Everyone has a choice, Felix, you can break this akumatization! I know you can!"

"I can't, Marinette." Abracadabra frowns.

"What do you mean?" Ladybug asks.

"Turns out I'm just a sentimonster copy of your boyfriend here." Abracadabra growls, "And well, Lady Butterfly has the peacock miraculous - which means she also has the ability to take back my amok if I go against her."

"She threatened to kill you?!" Cat Noir yells, having ripped off his duct tape mouth cover.

"Yup. And she can with the snap of her fingers, faster than you can do anything about it." Abracadabra confirms, "So play nice and hand over the miraculous."

"There's got to be something we can do to help-" Ladybug says, "Lucky Charm!"

An object lands in the hero's hand. A simple pair of red socks with black spots.

"I don't see how that would help any of us right now." Abracadabra sighs as Ladybug starts looking around.

"Here, Cat, help me tie these together."

"You have a plan?" Cat Noir asks.

Ladybug bites her lip. "Possibly."

"Kill them." I order, "Kill the hostages and then those heros will know you aren't to be messed with."

Abracadabra's eyes go wide.

"Do it or I will take back your amok!" I threaten.

"If I have to live a life after doing such an act that you are requesting, then that life isn't worth living. I can't."

Ladybug and Cat Noir look up at Abracadabra, a purple butterfly outlining his eyes.

"Think of your mother, Felix!" I go on, hesitating, "She loves you!"

"She'll still love me knowing I refused to kill an innocent person to save myself." Abracadabra fires back, waving his wand and bring his prisoners to the ground. Another wave of the wand and the hostages are free.

"Alya, Nino." he states, "Run."

I could see Ladybug and Cat Noir out of the corner of Abracadabra's vision. I know what I have to do.

I squeeze my fingers and take back Felix's amok, knowing there's nothing the heros can do to stop me.

"Felix!" Cat Noir and Ladybug cry out in unison as the akumatization breaks and the boy doubles over in pain. He looks up for a moment, teary eyed and scared knowing what's happening. The very next second, dark bubbles dissipate and a feather drifts slowly to the ground. Another second later and the feather turns to dust.

Felix's akuma flutters over to the heroic duo, who failed to save the sentibeing from destruction.

"I've never felt such utter despair!" I cry out, "Finally! Success is so near!"

The akuma flutters over and lands in the Lucky Charm that Cat Noir and Ladybug are holding. Both heros are too dumbfounded to notice.

"Ladybug! Cat Noir!" Alya cries out as the purple butterfly outlines the heroic duo's eyes.

"Let's try this again." I say with a smile, "Cat Blanc, Ladyblood. You find yourselves at your lowest point yet, encompassed in a sea of depression and failure. Your cousin, Adrien, is dead. You two have failed and, Marinette, the Miraculous Ladybugs cannot fix it this time. I can't blame you, you are only children after all. Such a huge responsibility for someone so young. But now is your chance to change all that!"

"Cat Blanc, I am granting you the power of infinite destruction! Nothing will stand in your way. Ladyblood, you always have had the to create, cure, and purify - you now have the power to purify people's minds and turn them into your mindless slaves! Together you will no longer be Paris's saviors - you will be their worst nightmare. Get revenge on those who took your innocence from you. Those who put this burden on your shoulders. All I ask for in return are your miraculouses. Then, you both will be free to live your lives as you choose - no more akumas, battles, or hungry Kwamis. Understand?"

"Yes, Lady Butterfly." the duo replies together as darkness bubbles around them.

"Excellent." I grin, "I will see you soon, my dears."
