(Happens before chapter 1)
"Honey, where are you?!" Ladybug whispers angrily on her yo-yo.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Honey's voice was distant and shouting, and Ladybug knew that it was because of her using the trompo to travel
"Well, hurry up! I don't know where Rena, Carapace, and Chat Noir are and you're the only one who picked up!"
"Two minutes maximum! I was on the other side of the city!"
"Seriously, hurry up! I will update you while you're coming. The police have already evacuated three neighborhoods and they're working on the forth. The Akuma is tall-..."
"I can see that, LB!"
"And her powers are super strength and...Uh... I actually am not so sure."
"What an update!" Queen Bee croons out, ironically, and rolls her eyes. "Anything else?"
"I think I understood her- Aaah!"
"LB? LADYBUG! What the fuck happened?!" Honey Bee stops for a second, looking around when her eyes catch a crumbling building at the feet of a tall white figure with long red hair in the distance. "Oh shit!" The Bee holder speeds up, pushing herself to her very limit to get there faster.
When Honey Bee lands on one of the larger pieces of rubble, the Akuma is far away from her, hovering slightly and moving back and forth. The long skirt of her white dress is blowing around her bare feet. Around her calves are twisted rose stems with thorns, spiking her Cotton Candy colored legs. Looking upwards, Honey Bee sees a rope for a belt. Between Akuma's right index and middle fingers, she holds rose stems. Her curly wine red hair slightly sways in the light breeze. Fortunately, the yellow heroine can't see her face.
If she's right, that Akuma is inspired by nymphs... And they can be hella beautiful.
Honey Bee slightly jumps when she hears whimper and landslide of ruins.
"Ladybug!" The Bee follows the moan. "Ladybug, where are you?" She's sure she's so close when a new groan reaches her ears. Feverishly, the blond heroine looks around, finally spotting a hand under a big piece of plaster. She runs to the red hand and horror hits her when she sees Ladybug's hand.
Honey Bee knew it was her, but she didn't want to believe it.
"Don't move!" Shaking her head, Honey Bee carefully he's closer to Ladybug. She removes the plaster, uncovering Ladybug's torso. A smaller piece is above her head, but quickly Honey Bee realizes that she holds it with her other hand.
Oh, true, people have two hands.
"I will remove it, take a deep breath because there will be a lot of dust," Effortlessly, compared to the first time, Honey Bee lifts the plaster. Clearly seeing Ladybug is some kind of relief after what had happened minutes ago. Honey squats to the red heroine's level and removes the dust from the hand that still protects her head and the visible part of her face.
"Let's get you out of here," Honey Bee takes the injured heroine in bridal style.
"Ni-huh," is the only thing Ladybug says. And actually, it's the only thing she can.
"Shit, someone has to purify the Akuma. Well, I-..." Honey Bee looks around, choosing a building. She lands on the rooftop of one of the tallest blocks of flats. "Stay here. I will bring the Akuma."
"You say it as if I could go somewhere," Ladybug whispers and tries to laugh, but it comes out as a pained whimper, her hand clumsily moving to touch her chest.
"What a joke," The yellow heroine rolls her eyes, hiding concern with sarcasm again.
"Honey-" Ladybug's eyes go wide, focusing on something behind Honey Bee, and instinctively she reacts.
"Venom!"
Honestly, the Bee hero doesn't even know when the nymph has reached them, but she's thankful because she successfully stopped Akuma's attack and at the same time paralyzed her.
"The earring." Ladybug whispers. Honey Bee nods and climbs Akuma's hand up, reaching the big ring. Smashing the akumatized object against a piece of rubble, Honey Bee reaches for the butterfly, gripping it's wings. She slowly walks to Ladybug. With Honey's help, Ladybug purifies the Akuma and calls her Lucky Charm. She doesn't even look at what it was and simply gives it to her teammate.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" The red heroine whispers out, unable to manage anything louder, when Honey Bee throws is highly in the air. An uncountable number of beetles fly around fixing the damage. Inhaling sharply, Ladybug gains energy to stand up when the pain rocketing through her body sends her crumbling back down to the ground.
"LB, are you okay?" Honey Bee places her hand on the spotted hero's shoulder.
"Yeah, just a little sore. Don't worry!" Ladybug waves her hand, trying to mask her pain with comfort. Her teeth grit as she bites back a grunt of pain.
"Are you sure?" Honey Bee frowns.
"Oh, yeah, completely!" Ladybug slowly takes her yo-yo. "Thank you for today and-" She accidentally lets out a pained hiss.
"I don't believe you! What happened? Were you injured before the battle?" Ladybug finally looks at her Bee.
"Y-yes, I- Uh..." She places her hand on her forehead, grimacing as a bout of dizziness hits her.
"The truth, please!" It's easy to read the worry on Honey's face, eyes narrowing behind her mask as she looks Ladybug up and down. After months of working together, telling when Ladybug was hiding something from her was extremely easy for the wielder.
Ladybug murmurs something, indistinct and hidden, and Honeybee knew something was seriously wrong with her friend.
"Can you repeat, please?" avoiding to look at her, Ladybug stares at the city below her, when she loses her balance. honey has fast reflexes and catches her. "LB, look. I am only worried about you. Please, if you won't let me help, at least, tell me."
"The Miraculous Cure doesn't work on me."
"What?!" The Bee gasps in horror.
"You heard me. Now, let me go," Ladybug stands up successfully.
"Are you sure you can make it to your home? I'm asking because I'm worried, not because I want to know your identity."
"Yeah, it's not that far," Ladybug carefully spins her yo-yo.
"And you're not lying to me, because of all of the secret identity thing?" Ladybug turns to face her Bee and slightly smiles.
"Yes. I promise it's not that far. Thank you, again, Chloé and... I'm glad you're my bee!" Ladybug nods, throwing her yo-yo. "Bugout!" Ladybug runs across the rooftops while Chloé stands in one place, smiling.
Oh, God, how much she loves Ladybug!
