Eclipsed in Paris (Miraculous x Reader) Pt 7

10:13:27 am, Saturday, April 20th, Paris, France

Two days have passed since the introduction of Rogue to the French public, and in two days speculation has already arisen as to who is behind the mask. Alya's Ladyblog has imploded with new information, and super "villain" attacks appear to be a daily occurrence. 

It's strange calling them villains. Yes, they are acting out with the powers given to them by moth-man, but their abilities are affected by negative emotions. If they are no longer sad or angry, jealous even, then their powers should theoretically disappear with the feelings. 

Anyways, with a new superhero on the loose, Paris has started to question if Rogue is with their normal dynamic duo or simply offered a helping hand to deal with Prime Queen. Chloe's been doing better since the whole subway train gum scenario. Her jacket may never recover, nor will her pores, but mentally she seems unscarred by the experience. However, I can feel something bubbling just below the surface. She's going to act out soon, I can feel it; someone unfortunately will be hurt in some capacity because of her actions. Moving on, however...

So far, I've fought a ratings-obsessed reporter and an ice cream man-monster thing alongside Ladybug as well as Chat Noir. She's yet to ask about Bazoo and the Bat Miraculous, but I know she's curious. Chat's asked twice now. The first time was right after Prime Queen was defeated and I got out of it because he had little time left in his hero form. The second time, was when Andre the "sweethearts" ice cream maker was de-akumatized. 

~ Flashback ~

"So, now that we have more time, mind telling me where you got your miraculous little bat?", Chat Noir inquired while trapping me in a corner. He clearly wasn't giving up this time and Ladybug had already run off to wherever she needed to be. "Only if you tell me how you got your's kitten" I replied in a teasing tone, leaning forward into the small gap between us, as my voice became lower. That apparently got him a bit hot under the collar because he began sputtering nonsense, his face glowing with the rosy flush before he turned around quickly, thus releasing me from the corner,  leaving the building we were standing on, and heading off to likely detransform just out of sight to head home. Silly kitten can play the flirting game, but can't seem to take it when someone starts flirting back. Or at least, I think it was him flirting. He reminds me of what having a little brother would be like. Embarrassing them for the fun of it, so none of the "flirting" meant anything to me. Besides, he's a superhero with a secret identity he can't reveal to anyone. How would dating even work?

~ End of Flashback ~

I enjoy being a superhero, at least I think I do. It's almost cathartic. With everything going on, only having one song finished for the album and needing eleven more, the makeup launch in a few weeks, modeling for Agreste fashions soon, designing my own clothing line inspired by Paris, and auditions for movie roles in two months; which got added to my plate in the phone call I missed during the Prime Queen debacle, there is virtually no time to be a superhero, but when I'm Rogue, it's freeing. I'm a different person, like my personality when I'm Y/N Bougeouis is eclipsed by Rogue and when I detransform, Rogue is eclipsed by the idol personality. Rogue is idle when Y/N is in control and Y/N is idle when Rogue is present. No side is completely myself, and both have true aspects of my personality, but neither is one singularity. 

12:56:12 pm, Monday, April 22nd, Paris, France

Going to school was getting old. Yes, it was exciting at first but the lustrous shine has faded. Now, I'd give anything to be back at the hotel or at work instead of in class, but I guess today isn't so bad. Marinette's dad is teaching the class today. Apparently, the baker who I met while exploring is her father so that actually explains a lot. 

"I'll let you in on a little secret. I always add cream to the chocolate to make the ganache extra velvety. Then I let infuse for one minute." Marinette's father said while demonstrating his actions. I stood off to the side next to Kim and Max, while Chloe and Sabrina stood near the back. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Chloe becoming agitated which is never a good sign. Then she opened up her mouth, " Urgh! Do they seriously think I'm going to get my hands dirty, cooking like some maid? If I want a croissant, I'd just make my butler get it for me." came her entitled decree to Sabrina. She really needs to be hit upside the head sometimes. The sweet, pink girl; I think her name's Rose gave Chloe a gentle reminder that Mr. Dupain-Chang wasn't making croissants and that may have pushed her over the edge I think. Maybe I'll listen in slightly while focusing my attention back on Mr. Dupain-Chang when he said, "It's all done with a flick of the wrist. But you mustn't go too fast or you might splash yourself!" That's when Chloe's real entitlement showed through as she made the comment, " And soil my Chenal pants? Who's he kidding?" Jeez Chloe, if you're going to act entitled at least pronounce the brand name correctly...

M. Dupain-Chang had just said, "Look at this lovely emulsion." when I heard dial tones just behind me and saw Chloe dialing someone on her phone. This isn't going to end well, whatever it is that she's doing. Then, Marinette was sent out of the room with the mixture to take it to the kitchen to chill for a while, and as she left I noticed Chloe's smirk getting wider. Almost cheshire like. Mr. Dupain-Chang in the meantime began showing us how to whip egg whites, until the fire alarm went off... Chloe, what did you do this time?

Mrs. Bustier was the first to speak, giving direction as she said, "Quietly, students. Single file line, please. Just keep moving." Chloe lead the group out of the classroom, high and mighty with her head held high. I'm afraid she doesn't realize how heavy the head that wears the crown is though. 

Mr. Damocles had just finished claiming it was a false alarm saying, "So, some smart aleck had the bright idea of calling the fire department." which lead to a gasp from several students.  "Somebody amongst us thought it would be funny to waste the fire captain's valuable time," he said while ignoring the protesting of the fire captain, " Hold on! I want the guilty party to apologize to you." What is Chloe's angle with this? Marinette and Alya were speaking off to the side, likely about Chloe if I could assume when Chloe's own hand went in the air.

"Mr. Damocles, sir?" she asked in a pseudo-innocent voice. Ah, shit here we go. In a saccharinely-sweet voice, Chloe said, " I saw a student leaving the classroom right before the alarm went off. It must have been her." So that's what she's doing. Apparently, Mr. Damocles bought it because he immediately said, " Really? Who was it?"

Her voice turning accusatory in nature, she called out, " Let's see if she'll come clean. What do you say, Marinette Dupain-Cheng?" causing another round of gasps to go throughout the room. A grimace came across my face as I made eye contact with Chloe which caused her smile to drop for a moment before it shifted to an indignant expression. Accidentally making eye contact with Adrien while tuning out Mr. Damocles, it appears the same thought crossed our minds, and Adrien spoke out. 

"Urgh, wait. Excuse me, sir!" he called out as Marinette appeared to pant. "It couldn't possibly be Marinette. Why would she disrupt her own father's cooking class?" he reasoned. Alya joined in with, " And I know for a fact that Marinette didn't even have her phone on her when she went out of the classroom." trying to further prove Marinette's innocence. Once again, the fire captain tried to leave but after hearing the claims of secondary parties, Mr. Damocles stopped him from leaving by saying "Just one more second. We're very close to discovering the truth." Jeez, this is going to be a long day. 

I tuned out for a while until Kim nudged me bringing me back into the mess in front of us. I could hear my cousin just finished saying, "What?! I'm not so sure my father will react kindly to me or my cousin being punished without any proof!" pulling out her phone in a threatening manner. She just dragged me into this, didn't she? Apparently, it got to Mr. Damocles because he immediately soothed her with an "Oh, no! Please, don't disrupt the busy mayor." before clearing his throat and saying, "The whole school is punished except for the Miss Bourgeois's!" which sent a flurry of whispers through the crowd and Chloe walked over to me saying, "That's more like it."

The rest of the school began their unfair punishment. Where's the justice in punishing everyone for one person's actions? So, I was working to help clean as well much to Chloe's displeasure.  Chloe was lounging around, rudely speaking to other students when they got close to her with their cleaning supplies. Apparently, Adrien finally got angry because he walked up to her, only to be smothered in  a hug by Chloe who greeted him with a " Adrikins!"Now, Adrien and I are not close by any means, but I'm always impressed by how he manages to get the truth out of her one way or another. Once again listening in, I caught her saying to him, "Of course, it was me who called the fire department. So what?" Now I'm angry. God forbid she actually takes responsibility and cares about someone other than herself. Adrien scolded her saying, " And it doesn't bother you that everyone's being punished because of you?" 

You can see no cogs turning in her head.  Her venom spread as she replied with a, "No. Why would it? They all seem to enjoy getting dirty making cookies. How's it any different than getting dirty, cleaning floors? They should be thanking me if anything." Yes, we should all bow and thank the gracious Chloe who screwed us all into cleaning the entire school because she misused the number for a fire captain by having the fire alarm pulled for her. Disappointment radiated off of Adrien as I walked up to the two's conversation, as Adrien looked her dead in the eyes and asked, " Chloé, how long have you and I been friends?" Where's he going with this? Chloe pouted her lips slightly replying with a, " Since we were adorable little tots, Adrikins."

He sighed which she didn't seem to pick up on before telling her, "Well, I'm sorry Chloé, but I can't be friends with someone who treats other people like this. You've gotta be nice to people!" Okay, that's a little harsh, even with her actions. She's a bit emotionally stunted. 

"N-Nice?" she responded clearly stunned and taking in his words. "N/N? Does he really expect me to?" she asked me. Adrien replied before I could saying, " Yes, nice. It's not that hard." before skulking off to Nino. "He's not the only one Chlo. I can't share or be on good terms with you until you show me you can be kind to other people." I said, before turning myself away from her, going to join Alix, Kim, and Max where they were cleaning to help out, leaving my cousin alone to process the words Adrien and I had said. 

4:25:33 pm, Monday, April 22nd, Paris, France

The ride home was quiet, and albeit very awkward between Chloe and I. Sabrina had been told not to come over today and Chloe appeared on the brink of tears. She stormed off to her room and the butler Armand (Jean according to Chloe), went off to check on her. It seems he cheers her up often according to the other staff within the hotel. I returned to my room to change into different clothing, lounge clothing consisting of black yoga pants, a wine-colored hoodie, and white socks, no shoes for now. I opened my sketchbook and began working on clothing designs for the newest Serpentine line that's supposed to come out when my phone began buzzing. It's Dante's new number. I quickly shut my phone off without picking it up. Maybe one day he'll get the hint that I just don't want to know him. Yes, at one point there may have been affection, but there was no love. 

Love... There's that word again.

Perhaps, this new line needs to be inspired by the allusions of love. Agape, eros, phileo, and storge. For Dante, I don't feel any of these currently, but for Chloe, I feel phileo. My hand began moving on the page before I knew it. Sketching out a dress, I shade it in a white-gold color, adding honeycomb patterns to the skirt in a slightly-yellow gold color. The top remained a solid white-gold with a semi-thick black line embellishing the waist, that had a small honey bee embroidered into it with gold thread. The design took two hours to fully flesh out, with accessories and all but when it was finished, it felt like Chloe. Chloe as a dress. One design down, however many are left to go, but this is where this design should go.

When I finally looked up from my design I realized I could hear music. Thumping music. I turned my phone on to see an invitation to a party being thrown by Chloe. Why is she throwing a party?

I changed quickly into an outfit that was a black blouse, my miraculous, white pants, and wine-colored boots. Making my way to the party, I noticed even Marinette and Alya had been invited. Now that's surprising. What was even more surprising was seeing Chloe and Marinette exchange cheek kisses as though they were friends at the prompting of Armand as well as... a yellow teddy bear? Wait... Is that Mr. Cuddly? Chloe's bear from when we were children? Anyways, it appears before I came down here she made up with Adrien which is good. When she noticed my presence she came over and offered me her cheek. Instead of kissing it, I pulled her into an unexpected hug. "We don't kiss cheeks in America Chlo, but I'm proud of you," I whispered to her before pulling back. She smiled softly before heading back to where Armand was likely for more advice. So, I joined the party, dancing with friends until Nino put on a slow dance song. 

Chloe didn't look so happy being asked to dance by Kim, but she excepted anyways with a look at the yellow teddy. Somewhere inside, I felt a pang straight to my heart seeing Kim hold her close. Maybe it's because I've never had friends before... That must be it. 

I joined up with a guy with blue hair whom I never met before, neither of us speaking a word but reaching an understanding that we wanted to dance with one another. He's cute, I guess. Actions are often louder than words, but personality is more important than looks. A bad personality can make the most handsome of boys ugly to one who once thought him attractive. Glancing at Chloe, I noticed her pulling away from Kim to storm over to Adrien and Marinette. My body language must have shown my concern because the boy I was dancing with pulled away, and sent me a soft smile, before gesturing for me to go after my cousin. "Thank you" I whispered to him before moving my way through the crowd. 

Armand cut in when Chloe was protesting the Marinette-Adrien dance, saying " If I re-say, Mademoiselle, or to..." only to be interrupted by Chloe telling him to move, before exposing Mr. Cuddly to the entire school. Mortification passed over Chloe's face as Armand's squeakily voiced the bear saying, "Oh, please, Chloé, dear! You've been such a good little girl! Mr. Cuddly is so very proud..." Oh shit... Chloe tried to hide the bear from view, but then Kim began to tease her, " Is that your teddy bear, Chloé?" he inquired. Oh no, Kim... Why did you have to say that?  I punched him in the arm after he finished speaking gaining a questioning look from him, only for him to be met with my eyes burning into his with my own personal disappointment directed at him. His eyes darkened at my look but it was too late. An uproar of laughter came from the entire party, embarrassing Chloe and then enraging her. She dragged him off into the kitchen, but the doors don't keep out the sound of her firing him.

Chloe snapped, " I've had it with your stupid teddy bear, your stupid advice, and you, Jean, whatever your stupid name is!" she spits with venom dripping off every word. Armand was devastated, trying to reason with her saying, "But, Mademoiselle, I was only trying to help." Chloe was seeing red because her next statement finalized his status, "There's no more Mademoiselle, no more help, no more anything! You are FIRED! Now get out!" she screamed before exiting the kitchen back to the party. 

When Chloe returned to her party, that's when it got weird. Sabrina almost assaulted her with a hairbrush, she ran to hide behind Kim, and a teddy bear? Why was a teddy bear clinging to Sabrina's leg? Watching the bear, I saw it attach itself to Kim after he said rather "valiantly", "If you touch one hair on Chloé's head, you'll have to answer to me." Then, a glazed-over look appeared in Kim's eyes and his sudden strange body language tipped me off about an akumatized victim. Sabrina had a dazed look just before I slipped away to transform into Rogue just outside the kitchen window. 

"Bazoo! Spread my wings!" I exclaimed feeling the leather take over the usual cotton of my clothing. I re-entered the party through the same window, surveying the scene, and saw Ladybug using her yoyo to toss my cousin into a ball pit. Has that always been there? Never mind, not important. What's important is the teddy bear.

As she spits out a ball out of her mouth, Chloe in her infinite stupidity asked, "About time, what took you so long?" to which she got no response. Turning my attention to Chat and Ladybug, it was time for "battle". Chat tripped up Kim with his baton sending the inebriated boy into the ball pit and the teddy went flying.

"That's a very slippery dance floor" Chat snickered to himself after the jock went flying. I retaliated lightly with a coy, "Or perhaps there were some mischievous interventions..." Ladybug had just managed to laso Despair Bear with her yoyo and yelled out to the frantic crowd, "Move aside. All of you!" before being tackled to the ground by the leather-clad cat man due to a chair suddenly flying through the air almost hitting her. That was a bit overkill but c'est la vie, when in Rome do as the Romans do. Turning in the direction of where the chair came from, I noticed Max had been the one to throw it. Is this bear seriously going to just mind-control my friends and Chloe's minions? I hope not...

A disembodied voice came from Max, "How about a little game..." before the voice of our dear akumatized villain shined through saying, "Of flying chairs." with an audible sneer in his tone of voice. It's clear where the akuma is so my powers are kinda useless. 

Ladybug tied her yo-yo around Max's leg,  only as soon as she did, Despair Bear left his leg. Despair Bear clung onto Alya next and the newest victim of the mind-controlling bear was forced to attack. She approached Ladybug and tries to attack her but I had managed to lock my arms around her and slammed her across the room, damage be damned. Hopefully, the magic ladybugs help with internal damage. Despair Bear was flung off by the force of the throw before claiming Ivan as his next victim, and Alya upon recovering from the toss was disoriented enough to ignore any lasting pain. 

Just then, Chat Noir stopped Ivan from crushing the three of us with a coffee table. How strong is he if he can lift that coffee table? It's supposed to weigh almost 120 pounds.  Wait where did the bear go?

A weird sensation came over my body as I realized Chat Noir had grabbed both Ladybug and my hands. "Uh, What are you doing?" she asked before realizing, "Uh, oh," I said as we both looked down to see the teddy bear wrapped around Chat's leg. "New plan?" I asked. "New plan," Ladybug replied. The butterfly symbol appeared in front of the teddy bear and when it finished listening to Hawkmoth, Despair Bear spoke, "Oh, pretty earrings and necklace" through Chat's body. 

While Ladybug tried to reason with the controlled kitty cat, I tried to figure out a way out of his death grip. Hmm... If echo works to locate the akumatized object, the force from it should be able to send him back far enough even if I already know where it is. The problem is the floor to ceiling windows..."Everyone away from the windows," I cried out just before Chat in his daze said, "Cataclysm" I was about to us echo on my newfound friend when, Chloe stepped in to aid us? "Paws off, kitty!" she said as she sends his paws down into the couch, efficiently destroying it... This is a lot of property damage.

"Thanks Chloe," I said and Ladybug followed suit. Of course, however, Chloe being Chloe has to have the attention directed towards something she's done because she started bragging, and then complaining. You gotta love that girl sometimes.

"Hey, I was really nice, just then. Did you see? No?" Chloe exclaimed right before everyone else fainted out of shock. Was that from her actions or the fact that Ladybug and I were almost wiped out of existence?  "You're all so lame. I bet Y/N wouldn't have fainted." Chloe said in an exasperated tone. 

"Maybe you should use your lucky charm" I recommended to Ladybugbefore engaging Chat again with my boomerang which hit him in the head. "I think I might've just angered him more!" I yelled as Ladybug cried out for her "Lucky Charm". She got a fork. What are we supposed to do with a freaking fork?!?! "Rogue I need you to buy us some time!" she said, which I responded with a curt nod. 

"ECHO" I screeched as the windows begun to shake before shattering letting glass fly everywhere and the controlled Chat Noir went flying back into the bar area from the power behind the scream. Still in control of Chat Noir, Despair Bear rubbed his head before uttering, "You little brats!" and forcing CHat t ochase us out and up the stairs to the rooftop. 

"DO YOU HAVE A PLAN YET?!" I yelled behind me as I sent my boomerang to cut Chat off at the knees making him trip up the final stairs. "Okay, Rogue get Chloe on board with the plan." Ladybug directed. Jeez this isn't going to be easy.

Okay so it was pretty easy. Chloe was hiding behind an umbrella and was being attacked by the teddy bear still. She agreed pretty easily after Ladybug managed to attach the fork to Despair Bear. "Naughty, Naughty Ladybug and Rogue." he said as he forced the body of Chat Noir to fight Ladybug. 

"Okay, Chloe so when she gives the signal, I need you to spin the umbrella so that the teddy unravels." I told her before joining the fight by once again sending the boomerang into Chat Noir's knees. Note to self apologize to him and his knee caps later. "Chloe, would you be so kind?" Ladybug said and Chloe immediately began spinning the umbrellacausing the body of the bear to unravel leaving nothing but the head and a tiny butler. 

" Ladybug? Rogue? What are you doing?" Chat asked now completely free of Despair Bears arms. "Oh, nothing. Just saving your skin with the help of our new little sidekick." Ladybug replied before I made the comment, "Perhaps we'll replace you with her, kitten." which made him blanche before punching me lightly in the shoulder. "Why do my knees hurt so much?" he asked wincing at the pressure of standing. "I'll tell you later." I said quickly, flushing  before turning to the tiny man. 

A squeaking voice called out, "Give me your Miraculous! You haven't defeated me, yet!" iIght, Despair Bear still hasn't technically been defeated. "Watch your step Chat Noir" Ladybug said before I ended up picking him up bridal style and side stepping behind our villain to avoid Despair Bear's grip again. "This is humiliating..." Chat said while pouting at the position. "It's okay kitten, this is partially my fault anyways." I admitted before setting him down to which a confused expression came over his face, only to be replaced with one of determination. 

" I've got this guy under control." Chat said as he picked up and effectively trapped Despair Bear in his hands as Ladybug broke the thread that the fork was attached to from the body of Mr. Cuddly and then deevilizing the butterfly setting everything back to normal. 

Nudging Ladybug with my hip, I glanced over at Chloe. Ladybug apparently caught on to what I was indicating as we both moved to thank my dear cousin. "Thanks for helping us out there. That was really nice of you." Ladybug said to her. "Yeah, it really is a refreshing to have a helping hand." I added. " I know, wasn't it?" Chloe said with her chest puffed up with pride. This is gonna go to her head isn't it. Oh well...

Anyways, Chloe rehired her butler, us three miraculous holders had to run off to detransform, and Chloe had to make a phone call. I snuck back into my room to detransform through the window. To make sure no one would see I managed to get into the walk-in closet before Bazoo returned from the pendent extremely hungry. Heading down to the party area and back into the kitchen, I handed Bazoo several blackberries before realizing Chloe was up to something again. Only this time it required several booth like tables and Marinette's dad. 

"Great job, kids. You've done some really good work." Mr. Dupain-Chang saidas he maneuvered around the room looking at everyone's macarons. I made lemon-lavender macarons with Kim and he seemed kinda more touchy during our prep time. Our hands kept brushing against each others while decorating, he put his hands over mine  while mixing the batter, and he even wiped crumbs off my lips during our sampling time. I mean, I don't mind it but it was definitely a change since earlier today. 

Dragging me off by our linked arms, Chloe and I ended up to the side of the group with Adrien.

"That was a great idea of inviting Marinette's dad!" Adrien commented. "He's right, and it was something that made up for not being able to finish the lesson at school." I added in while glancing down slightly at Chloe. She replied quickly saying, "I know. This way, no one can be mad at me for calling the fire department. I'm really nice now, did you notice, Adrikins? N/N? Even Ladybug said so! Didn't she, Jean-Pascal?" Ah yes, there's the Chloe I know. 

"I'm proud of you, Chloé. I think you've proven that you're capable of making an effort to be nicer to everyone" Adrien told her. Here we are at full circle from this morning. "Aww, Adrikins! So we'll always be best friends, forever? Pinky swear?" she said with a glint in her eyes. Oh dear here we go. Adrien pinky swore with her before she left us behind while making judgemental comments about the other's macarons. 

"She'll never change." Adrien said before turning to me. "No. No she won't, but she's capable of it when she decides she ready to, and we'lll just have to be there when she is." I replied leaning into his side beforemoving aside when I noticed Marinette. "Excuse me, Adrien" I said before walking off to find Kim, Alix, and Max. Watching from my corner I saw Adrien and Marinette interact. One day, they'll realize just how much they like each other, and I don't mean as "just a friend". 

6:45 pm, Tuesday, April 23rd, Paris, France

Between superhero work, my aunt's intended image for me, my schoolwork, and idol work it's a wonder I haven't had a full-blown mental breakdown yet. I've gotten closer to Alix, Kim, and Max from school but they don't really understand idol work. Chloe seems to think it's the greatest thing on earth, but I'd like one day to myself. Anyways, I just finished up in the recording studio for the day and decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Honestly, the stairwell has amazing acoustics so sometimes afterward I'll sit in the stairwell doing whatever I want.

Today I decided to use the stairwell just for some fun. I was kinda hoping to scare someone because it can be creepy at night. One of my favorite things to do back in New York was to sit on my fire escape and do "siren calls". 

While I was singing, I heard a second voice. A masculine voice joined me with these "calls". The voice although mostly smooth, had certain moments of roughness like he'd been singing for a while and his voice was becoming tired. The voice continued to entrance me until I realized I had been walking back up the steps, closer to the voice, closer to whoever he was.  

Then the singing stopped.

The concrete walls of the stairwell seemed to dim, time was running out both in the day and to meet this gifted singer who joined my vocal runs. I heard a door click shut shortly after. 

Rushing further up the stairs I ended up back in the studio. No one was around. So I left. Hopefully, I can meet him one day. Clearly, today isn't that day.

Walking up the street to where the limo was parked I was in my own little world, or at least I was. I hit something warm. Oh, I ran into someone is a better explanation I suppose. It was the blue-haired boy from Chloe's party! "I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." I apologized to him. "Hmm... It's alright" he replied, silently giggling to himself. "I'm Y/N, I think we've met before." I said offering him my hand. "I'm Luka, we danced together at your cousin's party," he replied with a soft smile. 

"Well, Luka. How much do you know about music?"

Eclipsed in Paris (Miraculous x Reader) Pt 5

5:17:23 PM 

"I'm sorry to say this, but who are you?" 

Why was that my first reaction to a flying bat-mouse-looking thing? Most people would have screamed, probably even throw something at it... and I said I was sorry to it?!?!

"Hello! I am Bazoo (Baz-zoo) your kwami, you must be the holder of the bat miraculous." 

"I guess... What's a miraculous?"

"Your necklace. When you wish to transform using the fear miraculous, you will say Bazoo, spread my wings! To detransform, you'll say drop wings." came the squeaky voice. 

"Alright, and do you need anything specific to eat? Do you eat?"

"I do eat! I love blackberries and black cherries!" she replied cheerfully, I think.

"Okay, then... Bazoo spread my wings!"

A bright purple hue covered my body. I can feel a sort of latex, maybe leather take over the denim of my jeans, and they disappear like nothing leaving me clad in a black suit with plum undertones. My arms have some sort of loose jagged fabric resembling bat wings, and my hands are completely covered with sharpened tips where they end. My head somehow has ears connected to either side, that are completely pointed at the ends and the mask isn't like most where it covers the eyes, but rather it covers the mouth, and my hair covers the majority of my eyes. Where the miraculous was, the originally red jewel turned wine colored and the wings of the bat glowed a light silver hue. 

"Um... Bazoo, what do I do now?" I asked the emptiness of the room. No response. 

Then I happened to notice outside the window just how much of a wreak Paris was. Oh yeah, the first day of school, the first day of dealing with akumatized villains. Great...

There was supposed to be a Ladybug and Chat Noir interview tonight. I only know this because Chloe said she'd be the first caller. Speaking of the call, she also told me she gave Adrien my number so I'd at least have some connections here for better friend choices... Anyways, it appears Ladybug didn't want to talk about her relationship with Chat Noir and now the news lady's gone crazy.

Oh my, Atlanta, she's got, Chloe!

I raced over to Chloe's room just in time to see her disappear into the subway and for Paris to get a look at me in a bat costume, but Nadja didn't recognize me. However, it wasn't just the viewers who saw me, but also Chat Noir and Ladybug... and they looked just as shocked as "Prime Queen". 

"Well, well, well, looks like we have a new superhero joining us tonight. Are you here to fight Ladybug for Chat Noir's love since she can't just confess?" Nadja or Prime Queen questioned. 

"Uh, sorry but I've never met Chat Noir, nor am I here to fight Ladybug..."

That's when a blue-purple butterfly appeared in front of her face, and she decided to push me through the portal where Chloe was and followed through.

"You're going to give me your miraculous, after making my rating skyrocket,"  she said to me off the record of her broadcast. Then she addressed Ladybug and Chat Noir. 

"Welcome, to the subway of suspense! If it reaches seventy miles per hour, you can say goodbye to your precious little friend."

I made a grab for the "weapon" I had as part of my costume. It's a boomerang. What can I do in a cramped subway with a boomerang? Bazoo mentioned a special power, "echo" that would allow me to locate something I desperately want to find, but I can only use it once and I have to go find it. Echo also pushes back anything in my way of the item but it may be too dangerous in a confined space. 

"Well, well, look here, the ratings are rising! More and more of you want to know if our superhero friends will get here on time. The suspense is killing her! Ladybug! Cat Noir! Are you willing to travel through the screen to save your darling Chloé? Ladybug are you ready to fight... What was your name dear?!" Prime Queen knocked me out of my thoughts.

"I'm Rouge, and she's not going to die in this train just so you can get more viewers." my glare spoke more than my tone for me. Nadja recoiled away from me with that glare but continued her attempt at luring in Chat Noir and Ladybug. 

" Ladybug, Cat Noir, New Girl! I beg you, save my jacket!

"Your jacket or you?" I replied to her. Is she seriously more worried about the jacket than her own life?

It appeared Chat Noir and Ladybug were preparing to enter the portal to the subway. Not the greatest idea, but I guess it works. I had already started trying to untie Chloe's binds with much struggle because she keeps moving around. 

"Will you stay still? I'm trying to save you and your jacket right now." I commanded. She listened until she saw our two new members at the subway party. 

"Ugh, finally, what took you so long? Hurry up and get me out of this underground nightmare! Woah!" Chloe fell over and took me with her. 

"I thought I told you to stay still. Now we're both in trouble!" I harshly whispered to Chloe as Prime Queen noticed my hands. 

"You're about to be the stars of the highest-rated show in all of TV history! Rouge, shall we dance with our stars?" Nadja said to Ladybug, Chat Noir, and I.

"Excuse you?! In what way am I on your side?" I said while throwing the boomerang, effectively tripping her up. 

"Where's the akuma?" asked Ladybug clearly focused on Prime Queen. 

"I'll find out, just trust me on this," I told her gaining strange looks from her and Chat Noir. 

"ECHO" and an ungodly screech left my throat following the command. The ringlets from the screech pinpointing on Nadja's watch and also effectively shattered the windows of the moving subway.

"It's in the watch," I said rather ashamedly, but then again Chat Noir is the holder of the miraculous of destruction.

"I'll deal with Prime Queen." Ladybug said. 

"We'll get the door, " Chat Noir said dragging me with him, and forgetting Chloe in the process, I followed him. 

Checking the door, it's clear the door isn't locked but it won't budge. The only way to get out would be through the windows at this point. 

"The doors jammed. You're Rouge, right? I'm Chat, welcome to the club."

"Uh, thanks? Is this normal?"

"Akumatized villains, yes. Being stuck on a train, not so much." he said before yelling back to Ladybug,  "We're trapped!". 

"The rules for my show are simple, admit the truth live on TV that you're dating and in love and I'll stop the train!"

"What did I just get into?"

Eclipsed in Paris (Miraculous x Reader) Pt 6

"You mean to tell me this is all because she thinks you're dating??!" I partially shout-whispered to Chat. 

"Would that be such a bad thing if we were?" he questioned but soon shut it given my expression showing I was less than pleased with the feline masked crusader.  Then my attention was turned back to Ladybug when her voice broke the tension. 

" A superhero never lies! We won't admit to something that's not true." Ladybug exclaimed which made Chat Noir's face drop. Prime Queen is visibly angered by this statement as she demands, "I want my scoop!" while accelerating the train somehow. In a corner, the three of us huddled to determine our course of action.

"I'll use my cataclysm." Chat Noir said in hushed tones, to which Ladybug replied, "No wait, we might need it for an emergency." which was honestly smart. It's better only one of us risks de-transforming at one time. Though Chat did argue back with an indignant tone saying, "Yeah, like right now!" Clearly trying to play mediator I said, "Calm down, arguing will get us nowhere, and we have to get Chloe off this train. Chat mayhaps Ladybug has an idea. Your cataclysm may do even more damage to the train." Turning to Ladybug, we both listened to her when she said, "We have to lure her over here first or we'll never capture her akuma! So let's just play along with her, at least it'll buy us some time." Now that I couldn't completely agree with it. Breaking one's principles and lying on a worldwide stage isn't the best idea, which is something I learned personally, so I offered another solution. "Or I could always lure her over with the identity of a new super. You know, since I used my special ability a while ago now." I said knowing the likelihood of it working now that Prime Queen has two scoops to go for. 

"It'll be easier for you to slip away and feed your kawami if we do this quickly. You're running low on miraculous energy and Chat Noir doesn't mind," Ladybug whispered to me. So, now we have some form of plan... 

Moving towards the back of the compartment where Chloe was, I stabilize her by holding her upright, while Ladybug "confesses", "Okay Prime Queen" she says while holding a shocked kitty's hand, "You win. I confess, Cat Noir and I are dating like you said. We are.." she starts to hesitate, " in..love." which led Prime Queen to abruptly stop the windowless train and sending Chloe as well as myself tumbling onto the floor. Ladybug and Chat Noir go flying into the wall with her landing on his chest, and he made a purring noise.

" Did I just hear you purr?" Ladybug questioned him clearly not liking that he was enjoying their predicament. Nervously, Chat Noir answered with a weak, "Uh, no way!" I smirked lightly, and teasingly I said "Oh, he so did," earning myself a micro glare from the cat. 

Anyways, cyber tech crazy lady decided she wanted something more. Typical reporters. "Our two heroic lovebirds are saving their fan's life and their new partner's by admitting their true feelings. Our viewers are going crazy! But, our TV ratings haven't maxed out yet. You must do better!" she said.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THEY ADMITTED THEY'RE IN LOVE BUT YOU STILL NEED MORE PROOF?!" I yelled at the screen only to be ignored by the crazy lady with the iPad. Stupid iPad adults. 

"Then come and join us, Prime Queen. You're the host and the star of the show after all. Then you'll have your ratings." Ladybug taunted the cyber lady. I dare her to come here, I'll kick her halfway to Lousianna if she does. Then a purple butterfly surrounded her eyes, and a voice quiet enough to talk to her only, but hearable if you have ultrasonic hearing gave her instructions, "Order them to give you their Miraculous!" the sinister voice commanded. Then Mrs. Roboto said, "My show, my rules, Ladybug! To prove that your feelings are genuine, you're going to have to take off your masks, which means you must all give me your Miraculous! Even you newbie." 

"Yeah, that's not happening lady." I said nonchalantly, which was followed by Ladybug's "Not a chance, Prime Queen!" I just happened to glance over at the kitten, only to see a strange smile on his face. Does he know how creepy he looks when he does that face? He grabs Ladybug by the shoulders while exclaiming, " Wait, I know how we can prove our feelings." giving her a wink, while I step away from that situation, "Pucker up!" which has Prime Queen at the edge of her seat. Again, typical reporter and fangirl behavior. Though Ladybug was thoroughly unimpressed by Kitten's antics, she declines with a, "Not a chance, kitty." I'll admit, he tried, and his disappointment was evident so I gave him a quick hip bump with a small demure smile. Then the screen turned black. "Is the show over?" Chat asked while knocking on the previously lit-up screen. This is bad...

"If we can't get to her, we'll never be able to capture her akuma!" Ladybug exclaimed in a worried tone. Just then, the screen turned back on, and displayed Prime Queen in the Louvre., particularly, she was with a sarcophagus. "My dear viewers, you are in for the reveal of a lifetime!" she said with a cackle opening the sarcophagus to reveal a tied-up Alya within.  Or at least I think her name's, Alya. "Ladybug, help me, please!" she pleaded despite not seeming all that scared. Just how messed up are Paris teens if situations like this don't give them PTSD? Then the robo-chick started asking facetious questions, "Oh wait, isn't this the girl who started the famous Ladyblog? The first one who ever filmed Ladybug?"

I turned to Chat and whispered, "What's a Ladyblog? Is it some kind of women's health forum?" I don't quite understand why he laughed at first, but then he blushed before he explained it to be a blog dedicated to Ladybug mostly, but sometimes showcases himself as well as other superheroine content. So, I guess it's not a women's blog... Anyways, back to the battle, seeing Alya bound in the glittering tomb, Ladybug clearly was distressed given her cry of "No, Alya!" I guess she cares about her fans.

"Next trial, your Miraculous! Or else your biggest fan will be mummified!" the cackling cyborg-esq woman declared, then the screen turned bright like it was devoid of anything. Chat almost fell through it, and my miraculous beeped indicating I had a mere few minutes left before I assume I detransform. I really should have paid more attention to Bazoo's instructions. "Ladybug, Chat Noir, I may have to stay behind a few minutes to feed my kwami. Hope you don't mind." I told them before Ladybug turned to Chat to say "Let's leap in before she runs! Come through when you're fully charged!" The two disappeared into the abyss leaving me and Chloe.

"Hey! Ugh, wait! What about me? Someone get me out of here!" Chloe complained. I forced her out of the train, before de-transforming completely while ducking down below the windows, as the train began moving again. 

"Bazoo, eat up. Looks like we're going to have to third wheel this venture," I said handing the bat creature a few blackberries from my bag. Once she was full, it was time to strike. "Bazoo! Spread my wings!" 

It's not so strange the second time around when the latex leather takes over my original attire. Though I will say it feels better to no longer have the mask on. Leather masks aren't the most breathable material. With that, I step through the white screen only to be met with Chat Noir and Ladybug in a freezer. 

"What'd I miss?" I asked aloud. "Not much," Chat replied. "She hasn't said anything since we arrived, so I assume she was waiting for you too," Ladybug informed me. "Well, clearly we're not at the Louvre," Chat said. While struggling to open the freezer door, Ladybug managed to deduce, "It was a double-cross!" Then the backing returned. Cackling alongside the crackling of the broadcast. "Uh, Cataclysm?" Chat Noir suggested. Ladybug being frustrated wasn't the best at handling the situation, yelling at Chat saying, "There's no point! We're probably far away from the Louvre! By the time we get there, it'll be too late to save Alya!"  

"So, are you two going to kiss or what?" I asked getting tired of this business. I just want to go home now... Huh, home? Do I mean New York or the Grand Hotel? Eh, I'll figure it out later. Chat leaned in closer to Ladybug but she stopped him with a simple "Still not a chance, Cat Noir." which disappointed him causing me to pat him lightly on the back in solidarity which he leaned in to.  

" The time has come to push those ratings sky-high! Let's try this again. Remove your Miraculous and reveal your true selves! The whole world is watching you!" came a command from Prime Queen. Like hell, I'm going to do that. I don't know these people. Then the blue-purple butterfly outline showed up...again. Ultrasonic hearing allows me to listen to the instructions. 

"The perfect plan, Prime Queen. They're cornered! Their Miraculous are mine!" came the gravelly voice. I swear I've heard it before, but who?

Pulling on the sarcophagus holding Alya up, Prime Queen said, "There's no use looking for a way out!" and I think she may have rattled Alya a bit because I heard a faint "Ow." from within. "Unless you want to see your biggest fan in deep water." came from Prime Queen's side of the recording. Little to say, we all gasped at that. "Hurry up, you three. Don't wanna keep your audience waiting." taunted Prime Queen while sliding Alya's coffin further over the water.  

"You're right! Lucky Charm!" called out Ladybug before a red-bespeckled tape roll appeared out of nowhere. I'm guessing she knows what to do with it.  "A tape roll? What am I supposed to do with this? Hmm... " Ladybug said while looking around. You've got to be kidding me... She doesn't know what to do with it yet?! Apparently, she decided what to do because she began pulling out random drawers in the freezer. Anxiously, Chat Noir said to her without regard to my existence, "Hurry up, she's about to push Alya into the water!" "I need a minute" "Give her a minute," we both said to him at the same time as she pulled out yet another drawer only to be met with a whiney, "That's too long!" from Chat.

"Listen to the cat." came the condescending voice of Mrs. Roboto as she pushed the sarcophagus further through the screen. Just then, Ladybug found what she was searching for apparently, as she pulled out... a pizza box? "Voilà! " Ladybug said while handing the box to Chat and taping it over the screen, effectively covering Prime Queen's view. Smart idea, and it draws her to us instead of accepting the ultimatum. Based on the audio, it appears to have worked given the resounding, "What's happening?" that came from Prime Queen's side of the broadcast. 

From behind the blackened screen, Prime Queen hears Ladybug say, "Fine, you win, Prime Queen. We'll remove our Miraculous. The whole world will see us without our masks!" Looking over at Chat, we made eye contact and had one singular thought between the two of us. Teasingly, Chat and I call out "And We're about to kiss! Shame you're missing it!" "And They're about to kiss! Shame you're missing it!"

 "So unlucky!" came Ladybug's reply. It was silent for a few moments following our comments when Prime Queen said, " If you're lying, you're going to regret it." she punched through the screen with the pizza box covering effectively bringing her into the freezer with us. She fell right into our trap. Chat broke the screen with his staff while effectively making sure our trap snapped shut saying, "And now you're stuck with us." Like a caged animal she tried to attack us, only to be subdued by Ladybug's yo-yo, hit in the head with my boomerang, and her watch broken by Chat's staff. A little purple-black butterfly flew out of the crack in her watch, which I assume is the akuma.

"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir announces and his hand is suddenly surrounded by black floating particles. When he touches the door with that hand, the particles appear to go into it at a molecular level, destroying it completely to the point where it crumbled right before our eyes. "Ladies first!" I stepped out first saying nothing to Chat but smiled to myself. The Ladybug declared,Thank you! No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" before catching the butterfly within her yoyo, exclaiming, "Gotcha!" She releases it and it had become pure as snow white. She bid it farewell before throwing the tape dispenser into the air where it became millions of magical ladybugs thatput everything back to how it was. I assume Chloe was sent back to her room, Alya to wherever she was prior to Prime Queen absconding her, and Prime Queen herself turned back into the reporter. Though by the sound of it, it appears being akumatized may be like sleepwalking since she was confused when she stammered out, "W-w-what just happened?

Ladybug and Chat Noir held out their fists in the middle, gesturing for me to join in, saying "Pound it!"

Ladybug had to run, though I know she had questions... Questions I think may pertain to my becoming a superhero. She ran off leaving Chat Noir and I alone. "So Rogue, mind telling me how you gained a miraculous?" he asked. "I'd let you know, but it appears you have mere minutes left, kitten" I replied with a smirk before heading out myself. "MY NAMES CHAT, NOT KITTEN," he yelled as I ran away.

 Ducking into an alley near the hotel, I de-transformed. Hurrying quickly through the back stairwell, and back to my room. I requested some blackberries for Bazoo and fell back onto the couch in my room. Scrolling through my phone I note three missed calls, 1 from Auntie which she's likely displeased at, I need to call her back quickly, and two from an unknown number. I called my Aunt back, only to get berated for not picking up when she called the first time. She wants at least one demo song before the end of the month, my appointment to formula-test the makeup line in on Friday, my clothing line sketches need to be started by next Tuesday, and I have a modeling gig for Mr. Agreste's new line in the park on Sunday. I wish she'd understand that things take time and effort to be good. The unknown number left a voicemail the second time around.

"Um, hi Y/N. This is Dante. I know you blocked my number and that you said you never loved me, but I'd like to try to be friends if nothing else. You know, considering we practically grew up together... Anyways, I'll be in Paris in a few months to film a new movie. I'll understand if you block me again, but if you don't, I'll take that as you being open to seeing me again... Um, yeah that's it. Bye."

Seriously? Dante is coming to Paris?! Did Auntie set this up so there could be a huge reunion? Or does he actually want to be just friends? You know after everything I put him through, I thought he'd hate me. Maybe it's time to start a new chapter, one that's real. I turned off my phone, not blocking him, at least for now. It' been a long day, and running around as some kind of superhero burns a lot of calories, not to mention energy. I changed into my pajamas and headed off to bed. Of course, I checked on Chloe first to make sure she was okay. 

A few days later, there was a new version of the reporters show "Face to Face" only this time with Alya. 

 "Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Hi, I'm Nadja Chamack, and this is Side by Side. Today, I'm joined by Alya Césiare, who created the Ladyblog! Together, we'll be looking back over Cat Noir and Ladybug's greatest feats. As well as new hero Rogue's debut." Nadja said. "Hello Nadja! Hey fans! So, first of all, I gotta set the record straight. Cat Noir and Ladybug are not a couple! Well, not yet at least. Sorry to break the news." Alya stated to the camera. 

I think Paris is going fine, though its a bit strange, and now I'm a superhero. Friends were a new thing for me, being a superhero's allowed me to express part of my personality that I've hidden away, but I still don't know if this is home. Huh, Face to Face... I think I may have found a new song idea...
