FysteeUnicorn: Just a reminder/note-the French phrases and names will be italicized and written the proper French way(as best as I can get it bc translation from English to French and vice versa can usually be pretty different so the phrases may or may not translate correctly into English and vice versa. If any of you are native French speakers and you see something wrong, pls tell me so I can get my phrases correct). The names, though, will only be italicized if someone is talking about them, to show the accent(s) that are spoken when the names are said in French. 

Rosie(Fleur Miel)

Fleur gently, carefully, twitched her fingers down as she concentrated, trying to crack the layered ice that currently encased her body and prevented her from moving.

A small crack quickly formed over her knuckles, spreading further the harder she moved her fingers.

Yes!

The crack had reached over the side of her hand and she could feel it spread to the middle of her palm. She managed to move her gaze to her teammates, heart dropping as she surveyed the scene.

Her left arm was raised above her as she had tried to shield herself from the sudden blast but her right arm was stretched out in front of her when she had tried to reach out to Ladybug, who was currently standing in front of Fleur, her arms stretched out as she had attempted to close the window. Chat was to her left, in a similar position as his Lady, with one hand resting on her shoulder and the other reaching for the window. Carapace was on Ladybug's right, the same position as Chat, his head turned to the cat-eared superhero as though to speak. Fleur's heart broke, saddened and disappointed that she hadn't been able to save her teammates.

Fleur shook herself from her thoughts, returning to her original task.

Grasping, stretching her already tired fingers, Fleur managed to spread the crack further until it reached the other side of her hand and combined with the other end of the start of the crack.

The ice shattered and half of her hand was revealed, the fingers throbbing but thankfully still able to move.

Wiggling her wrist, she managed to jerk her elbow backward enough that it shattered the rest of the ice that encased her arm, twisting and yanking it toward her back. Her fist made contact with her back and the ice burst from the force. Lurching her body forward, the ice from her waist to the top of her head broke instantly and she could breathe properly again.

Fleur heaved her right leg forward a little, successfully fracturing the ice before repeating the action with her left.

Finally! I'm free! Now to save everyone else. But how?

Searching the room, she quickly found the lamp pole that usually held the light bulb and scooped it up. She walked back to her team and quickly swung the head of the short pole against the ice on the back of Ladybug's head, careful to put just enough force to break the ice but holding back the full amount so she didn't accidentally hurt Ladybug further.

The ice encasing her body instantly shattered and she stumbled forward, catching herself on the windowsill. Bewildered, Ladybug turned her head to face Fleur, a mixture of emotions rolling across her face, finally settling on gratitude.

"Merci, Fleur."

Fleur nodded, giving her a quick, small smile before bringing the lamp pole down onto Chat and Carapace's heads, freeing them from the encasing ice around their bodies.

"Okay guys, we need to leave. Now." Fleur's voice was urgent and the boys nodded but Ladybug looked hesitant, her eyes concerned and lips twisted in thought.
