Whatever Happened to the Akuma Class?

This post is to explore the futures of the students of Mme Bustier’s class as well as some other characters in the In Her Shadow AU. A lot of these ideas were inspired by @miraculous-thenextspots, mostly because I can see them going down similar paths in the future.

Buckle up, we’re in for a ride!

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

It all started when information leaked on the internet about the truth regarding Hawkmoth and Gabriel. No one is quite sure who made the first post, but it spread like wildfire across Paris.

Betrayal and outrage grew among the people, how could Ladybug do this? How could she lie to them, to everyone? They built a statue to the man, believing he was a hero at Ladybug’s word.

No one was talking to her, not Adrien, Alya, or anyone in the class. No one was willing to listen to her.

If she lied about that, how much more had she lied about? In the eyes of the people, Ladybug was a liar, a manipulator, and a villain.

More and more crowds of protesters demanded Ladybug give up the Ladybug miraculous and stop being a hero…and she was starting to think they were right.

Until she got a message on her yoyo, someone finally willing to hear her out! In her desperation, she headed to the location and waited.

…She didn’t feel the devastating, deadly blow from behind until it was too late.

Her body was recovered and no one knows who was the one behind her death. Her case turned cold.

No one is sure where the Ladybug Miraculous went after that.

Chrysalis, the new butterfly holder, stopped sending out akumas after that. There was finally peace in Paris…but at what cost?

Adrien Agreste

On the surface he appears fine, but has not been doing well since his girlfriend’s death.

He was appalled, angry, and betrayed that Marinette would not only keep something like that about his father from him, but tell him he was a hero when he was actually a monster.

For a time, he became lost, withdrew into himself, and became a hermit like his father.

Plagg attempted to get him out of the house and back to his old self, but nothing helped.

Adrien attempted to fill the hole Marinette left behind with drinking and dark haired women. (It’s not the same for him, it’s never the same).

Had to be forced to give up the black cat miraculous and retire from superheroing.

Then Emilio came into his life or rather he was pushed into his arms by one of the many one night stands he had.

He knew he had to do better for his son and stopped drowning in self pity and guilt. He can’t end up like his father.

He’s not the best father though, but does his best to be not like his own father.

Adrien is constantly away on business but he does his best to communicate with Emilio and attempts to connect with him the few times he is home (it’s been hard for the both of them). But it’s difficult with him away for work all the time.

The hole in Adrien’s heart seem to grow bigger when he saw that Ladybug had returned.

Alya Césaire

Married Nino and works at the TVi network as a reporter.

Has one kid, Marin (guess who she is named after?)

Did her best to move on after Marinette’s death and is one of the few who secretly knows that Marinette was Ladybug.

Over the years, she has attempted to track down the lost miraculouses (Ladybug and Butterfly), but has been unsuccessful so far.

Gave the Fox Miraculous to Luka for safe keeping after retiring from superheroing.

Retired the Ladyblog site after Hawkmoth’s

Nearly died while on the job a few years back. She is more cautious and careful when it comes to reporting in dangerous situations (no miracle cure can bring her back those times).

Wants to figure out the new Ladybug’s identity so she can help/protect her. She’s not going to let this Ladybug go through what Marinette did.

Too bad, this Ladybug doesn’t seem to like reporters or cameras very much.

Nino Lahiffe

Married Alya, has two kids, and works as a DJ at clubs. (Alya is the breadwinner in their house)

Is the father of Marin.

Like with Alya, he moved on from Marinette’s death, but the sting of it and the circumstances leading up to it still leave a mark.

Helped his wife in searching for the lost Miraculous, but had been unsuccessful.

Retired from superheroing and gave the Turtle Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

A few years ago, he nearly served Alya divorce papers after too many close calls when reporting and recklessly thinking she’s invulnerable.

Supports Alya in figuring out the new Ladybug’s identity, this kid can’t be any older than they were, she needs to be protected.

Chloe Bourgeois

Moved to New York City after the events of “Revolution” much like in canon. But instead of going to London, she remained in NYC.

She also went to therapy (forced to go to therapy because it was apart of her sentence for, oh I don’t know, forcefully becoming an underage mayor and aiding a magical terrorist MULTIPLE TIMES!!)

Took over her mother’s Style Queen company and rebranded it to Chloe’s Couture.

Soon before the events of S1, Chloe moved back to inherit her father’s hotel after he retired as the owner and to also redeem the Bourgeois name (it’s practically dirtied up at this point, it’s not going to be easy).

Never settled down, but does have two children, the twins,

Tries her best to be a better mother than Audrey, though has high, high expectations for them.

Has calmed down and matured (at least that’s what she claims, who’s to say?). She can still be snappy and mean, but she learned her lesson, no longer aiding terrorists. (“Please, I have better standards than to help some nobody in a last season butterfly mask. Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.”)

Even if she doesn’t show it, she truly loves her children. She cried so much when they were born, not even caring if it ruined her mascara.

She is saved by the new Ladybug a couple of times from akumas she probably caused. (I said Chloe was trying, she’s not perfect).

Sabrina Raincomprix

Decided to take her experiences as a doormat and her toxic friendship with Chloe and turn it into strength.

She became a child psychiatrist and offers her services to schools when akumas began popping up again.

Is polite towards Chloe, but aren’t friends anymore (Chloe respect this decision and doesn’t push it further)

Encounters Élodie as one of her patients, has come to realize how bad Mme. Bustier was and has become as a principal.

Juleka Couffaine

She and Rose separated from Kitty Section to pursue a career in modeling (grew enough self confidence to shine as a star).

The two got married and adopted a cute little boy from Achu (knowing Prince Ali helped the adoption process move much, much quicker).

Gave the Tiger Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

She, along with her brother, visit Marinette’s grave, leaving flowers and keeping it clean for her.

Luka Couffaine

Became the new Guardian after Marinette’s death…he doesn’t feel good about getting the position.

Sorrow, guilt and shame continues to gnaw at his mind for Marinette’s death.

Spilt from Kitty Section to pursue his own music career.

Still has the Snake Miraculous with him.

Is not on speaking terms with Adrien. The last time they spoke, they got into a fight as Luka requested the black cat miraculous from him, Adrien did not take it well.

Recently returned to Paris after hearing that Ladybug had returned.

Rose Lavillant

While her wife went into modeling, she devoted her time to creating and perfecting all natural, non toxic, organic, easily purchased perfume.

With Juleka promoting it, the line became a hit and she eventually turned it a perfume brand, known as Princesse Parfum.

Gave the Pig Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

She’s a regular customer at Élodie’s aunt’s flower shop and is always chatting the young girl’s ear off whenever she’s in the store. She’s become like a nosy aunt, always asking Élodie about what’s going on in her life.

Mylene Harprele

Married Ivan and is currently pregnant with their first child.

Created and organized an organization that assists akuma victims with their mental health and returning back to normal lives.

A lot of people targeted the akuma victims for their roles to play with Hawkmoth, harassing and even threatening violence against them. Mylene defended them, stating that akuma victims like her husband weren’t villains, but victims (SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!).

Many in Paris also struggled with their emotions, which lead to bottling them up and not expressing themselves, leading to life long damage to their mental health. Her organization offers free counseling and therapy sessions, Sabrina also comes in from time to time.

Calls to the organization has been booming recently…though Mylene wished it wasn’t because of the akumas returning.

She may or may not be thinking of running for mayor, but she’s waiting until after the baby comes to decide.

Ivan Bruel

Supports his wife in her organization, even facilitates some of the meetings with other akuma victims.

He also opened a gym so that people can have healthy ways of release aggression and anger as well as kids to defend them from bullies.

He also provides yoga and meditation as stress relief technique and

Élodie began going to his gym to learn self defense (she’s really learning to be able to fight against akumas, the girl is not Batman).

Alix Kubdel

…No one has actually heard from Alix or seen her in a while.

After Marinette’s death, she just kind of vanished from Paris.

The Rabbit Miraculous’ location remains unknown, but Luka assumes it’s safe with Alix wherever or whenever she is.

Max Kante

Max being Max started up his own robotics company known as Kante Industries.

He’s essentially Tony Stark, except less partying and more working late in his office.

Gave the Horse Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

Has a daughter to continue on his legacy, though their relationship is rocky.

Transformed Markov from a flying machine to his fully humanoid autonomous assistant (think like Jarvis).

Is working on a secret classified project for the government, all he can tell is that it will change the world.

Kim Lê Chiến (or Lê Chiến Kim? IDK However you say his name)

Kim is the P.E teacher at Collège Françoise Dupont after retiring from being a competitive athlete due to an injury.

Gave the Monkey Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

Vowed to never do another prank ever again after his son’s birth…only to get roped into a constant prank war when his daughter was old enough to pull her first prank (he’s so proud of her).

While he’s still lighthearted, he can be stern and doesn’t tolerate bad behavior in his class.

He, his wife, and his son are the only ones who can handle the little terror that is Arielle Lê Chiến.

His son is one of Élodie’s classmates and over the first season, they become friends.

Ondine

Went on to become an Olympic swimmer for France (Kim is so proud of his wifey, he was shouting the loudest when she was swimming at the Olympic Games).

Continues to compete, is away from home a lot because of it.

Ondine always FaceTime whenever she’s on break or far away, keep in touch with her kids, and makes sure to make every moment special when she is home.

Nathaniel Kurtzberg

Marinette’s death affected him. He even dedicated comics to her as well as drew out characters who resembled her.

Gave the Goat Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

He and Marc are married and make comics together. Their comics are their children, no matter what people say.

Their comics are highly successful and gain a massive following, there might be a movie adaptation coming out soon.

Marc Anciel

Also took Marinette’s death hard, was understanding when Nathaniel began drawing Marinette into their comics as a form of mourning and grief.

He began to write out the story Marinette deserved even writing her a happier ending (it’s what she would have wanted).

Gave the Rooster Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

He and Nathaniel are working closely with a movie production team to make their comic book movie a box office hit, (they even make Stan Lee esque cameos).

Kagami Tsurguri

Though she doesn’t show it, Kagami took Marinette’s death hard.

How could someone so bright be snuffed out so quickly? She just couldn’t understand it.

She moved to London with Felix and eventually married him.

Gave the Dragon Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

She pursued her interest in art and is now a renowned artist with works in galleries all over the world.

Felix and her have one son together.

Both Felix and Kagami are away for work, but Kagami is doing her best to be a good mother and encourages his son’s interests, not restricting him to the rigid perfection that her own mother put her through.

Felix Graham De Vanily

While he didn’t know Marinette quite as well as Kagami or Adrien, he still understands their pain and grief.

He took his mother’s last name as he didn’t want to be associated with his father anymore.

He eventually married Kagami and took over the Fathom company, stripping it of anything related to his father.

He tries his best to be a good father like Adrien does with his own son. But neither him or Kagami are good at showing their emotions and are away for work, leading to neglect.

Kept the Peacock Miraculous and gave Luka a fake for safekeeping. He feels it’s much better in his hands than some Guardian’s.

He wants to give his son the freedom he never received under his own father’s watch, though it may lead to more harm than good.

Zoé Lee

Zoé won’t appear much in the main story though may make an appearance if I decide to do like a New York special in the future.

She was one of the most devastated by Marinette’s death. It was Marinette who helped her feel at home in Paris and helped her make friends.

Gave the Bee Miraculous to Luka for safekeeping.

She moved back to New York City to pursue acting (and to get away from the pain of losing Marinette). She is known for her donations to charities for children in abusive households.

She has a wife now, has no children, but enjoys showering her niece and nephew with visits, love, and affection whenever Chloe can’t.

Lila Rossi

No one in the class has heard from Lila in years.

None of her old alias or names have come up, it’s like she didn’t exist.

Though she may have returned to Paris under a new name and identity, though who knows with Lila?
