Bound By The Lazarus Pit

Chapter 1

The Healing and Reversing Power of Ladybug just reversed the damage on the Eiffel Tower. Chat Noir and Ladybug just dropped by on the top-ist roof of the Grande Palais, just below the flag, and Chat Noir swirled around its pole to land flawlessly on his feet. 

"Wow! You were on fire Bugaboo, we never beat a villain so fast... pound it. " Chat Noir said as he lifted his wrist. 

But Ladybug, all the while was looking out for something, or rather someone. She remained in her fighting stance. 

She didn't even notice Chat Noir. 

Ladybug sighed in her mind and she dropped her stiff shoulders to a more relaxed one. Chat Noir looked down a bit. 

"Bugaboo?" Ladybug was taken out of her thoughts as she looked at Chat Noir, with a little shock. " Something wrong? " 

He continued still holding his lift up in the mid-air. Ladybug was about to speak when her eyes landed on the untouched fist. 

"Uh, Pound it. " She looked away as their wrists did their fist bump. 

" Yeah, uh-uh, hey, " She opened her yo-yo. 

"Why don't we check one more time that everything's okay in Paris?" 

She swung and got hold of the pole, "Like, an extra patrol?" She looked down then. 

" You wanna tell me what's goin' on? You didn't even scold me when I called you bugaboo. " Chat Noir said. 

"Nothing is going on! Everything is super-great, I just have some extra time and I don't feel like chit-chatting." 

Ladybug said looking around. 

"Then I know the perfect place, where there is no talking " Chat said as he leaped on the pole too. Hope flickered in his bright cat-like eyes.

"I am all in!" Ladybug said with determination in her eyes.

Everything changed that day, I got my friends akumatised because I was afraid to lie and for that, I broke my friendship with them. 

I thought I wouldn't have to lie anymore, but it was all false. 

I have and had to lie to everyone, just so I could defend my identity. 

I am a big liar. Even bigger than Lila, who was supposedly best-friends with Ladybug.

 After 'Gang Of Secrets', I apologized to my friends.

Alya supported me. And I told her that I was Ladybug. 

Luckily, she took it calmly and helped me through my problems, not that my problems are over now, but still. 

Together, we deciphered some parts of the Grimoire and it turns out, that I have more powers. I can create this magical charm that would protect the person from being akumatised again. 

After the Optigami occurrence, I made Alya, the permanent holder of the Fox Miraculous, Trixx was more than happy. 

The reason? So he could joke around and tease a bit more than I allowed him to. 

But, sadly, Hawkmoth now knows Alya's identity, he tried to force her for Ladybug's info... 

So now, she works in hiding as Rena Furtive. She helps me by looking out for Akuma's and also if someone is following me or not. 

I am lucky to have her as my bestie. 

But, 

Ever since Nino was akumatised into Rocketear, Adrien and Chat Noir have changed. They are not the cheerful ones they used to be before.
