At my statement, Hawkmoth's voice filled my head.  Sure, I was emotionally unstable, but that instability allowed me to encompass all of the chained-up negativity into a force strong enough to beat Hawkmoth. He could try all he wanted but not even Gabriel Agreste, one of the most powerful men in the city, could control me. My mask cracked a bit as I pushed the coward out of my head, showing his receding power. It wasn't long before the mask crumbled a bit, only leaving my face covered a bit. The removed mask revealed that I had blue lines going from my eyes to my neck resembling tears.

The heroes looked at me with slight fear in their eyes. This brought a sense of strong joy into my heart. They were scared of my power. Without Hawkmoth's constant nagging for the miraculous, I could focus on my main goal: Getting my revenge. "Well," I started, "I might be here a while so might as well make myself a home... Right?" I tapped the floor with my cane and yarn rose from the ground in many shades of blues and greys. They wove around each other and formed a large fortress with a garden and all. Somewhere inside, I hid the white kitten from Lady Luck and smirked at the heroes. "Were where we on that deal?"

Ladybug and Chat Noir couldn't think of what to do. It was evident and clearly written on their faces that they didn't know what to do. How would they bring them and put them in the face of danger?

Their actual thoughts: How do I become my civilian form while also defending everyone else as my superhero form?

I laughed at their worries and added more to the agreement. "I've told you what I won't do if you simply bring them, so I'll tell you what I promise I'll do. For every other day that you fail to bring them to me, I will go out and find one of them myself. First Nino, then Alya, Adrien, and finally, lovely Marinette." I tapped the yarn covered ground and a few chairs appeared. "Have a seat."

"Why every other day?" Chat Noir asked me. "Why have us do your dirty work."

I could feel my face soften as I thought about why I wanted the heroes to bring Marinette. "Every other day because I'll destroy parts of your city on the other days. I don't want the fun to be over too quick either..." I trailed off and sat farther back in my seat. "And I want to cause as little fear in her as possible." I traced the stitching on the chair. "She may have rejected me, but I'm not evil enough to want her to suffer or anything."

They looked confused. Ladybug questioned why I was so kind towards Marinette if I had wanted revenge.

"Well, mostly on Nino and Adrien." I tapped the empty space next to me and a TV made of yarn popped out. It played the scene of Nino and me as well as when Adrien told Marinette about the "joke" I told him.

Chat Noir visibly cringed at the footage but tried to stay as still as possible. "So how would you punish them?"

I cackled, pretending what he asked was a joke. "Oh, you're serious?" I thought about it and quickly snuck behind him. I got close to his ear and whispered. "That's for me to know, and them to find out." I placed a cold hand on his shoulder and flicked the bell around his neck. "Should I test it on you?"

He shivered and slapped my hand away. He pulled Ladybug from her chair and extended his baton to leave. "We'll think about it."

"You have a day before I go get Nino." I reminded.


POV CHANGE (To Chat Noir/Adrien)

This villain was 100% Felix. I remembered what Felix told me in his room the other day and got kind of freaked out when he started touching me very gently...

"Oh Adrien, my sweet cousin. Please find a place in your heart where you can forgive me for offending the one you love oh, so much. I wasn't aware he meant that much to you, so, please... Punish me as you see fit." Felix bowed in front of me. It wasn't that I liked Chat Noir, but that I was Chat Noir.

A blush spread across my face."Felix, you have the wrong idea I-"

"What? Are you telling me you aren't having a secret relationship with the famed leather-clad hero?" He stood up."How dare you mock the sexiest cat of Paris!" He pointed a finger at me accusingly. "To think I even thought of letting you touch me!"

"Wait WHAT?" My eyes widened "I thought you said he was stupid?"

"Stupid you say? Of course, he's stupid, but I like them dumb." Felix winked. " I would hit him up any given day of the week!"

Stunned, I quickly walked out of Felix's room, making a reminder to stay away from him whenever I was Chat Noir.

Yeah, Felix is really weird.

"So M'Lady, how should we go about this deal?" I asked. She was the brains of our group mostly because she was street smart. After being sheltered for most of my life, I only knew the basics.

"I have an idea but I don't know if it will work..." She swung away and I quickly followed after her. "I really hope it's still there." I heard her mutter.

The two of us arrived in front of an old building that seemed to be abandoned. It was on the scruffier side of Paris with piles of trash lining the sides of the roads.

"So, Chat, I think it's time you know that I am the new Miraculous guardian." She looked ashamed. "I know you wanted us to be more honest with each other, so there you go." Ladybug leaned down and pulled a red circular container from under a dirty blanket.

Though I wished she would have told me sooner, I smiled and gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "That's great LB, but what Miraculous could we give out that would solve our problem?"

"Well..." She started.
