The Honey Trap [An Adrienette Story]

Chapter 29

Akuma Matata!

After three short years the akumas are back. Though yet to be confirmed by our city's saviours 'Ladybug and Chat Noir', we are almost certain that the attack on the city once again came from someone wielding the butterfly Miraculous.

The beautiful woman known as Äte, was seen to be sucking the souls from men, claiming herself to be a Honey who had been miss treated on one of her recent traps. As most people are aware, the Honey Trap industry has come under scrutiny over the past couple of weeks after a couple of high profile traps had gone wrong. Äte was the goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and blind folly, rash action and reckless impulse who led men down the path of ruin. She also led both gods and men to rash and inconsiderate actions and to suffering. Até also refers to an action performed by a hero that leads to their death or downfall, told by Greek Mythology (1).

Äte, herself, was a beautiful indication of what the Honey's represent, pulling men in towards her before removing their souls and creating her own mini army.

Though the magical Ladybug's did swirl around Paris, the men returning to their bodies seemed to need additional medical attention we never saw back during the original akuma attacks. Each 'slave' complained of breathing issues, along with migraines which seem to be an on going issue. There was also a lack of white butterflies flying around the area where the akuma was rumoured to be stationed.

Sources have said:

'Ladybug and Chat Noir looked argumentative and emotional once escaping the new villian, my hope I had in the heroes has really declined. It seems the heroes are losing their abilities to protect Paris from these future frets. Though [Chat Noir] attempted to calm his partner down, it seemed Ladybug was more interested in pushing him away. Keeping the distance between the two. I'm quite worried for our cities' safety, if the heroes can't pull themselves back together.'

Many people have been questioning our heroes recently and it is making us wonder if Paris is most certainly losing that loving feeling?

In other news, Kagami Tsurugi, 26, has been seen at the Louvre this morning helping to position her pieces ready for her exhibition starting tomorrow.

The evening gala will be pulling in not only some of Paris' older talent but also many of Tsurugi's famed friends including Olympians Alix Kubdel, 24, and Lê Chiến Kim 24, A-List actor Adrien Agreste, 24, reporter Alya Cesaire, 24, and musician Luka Couffaine, 25. It seems thanks to Tsurugi's contacts this will be the most famed event Paris has seen since Adrien Agreste's wedding three years ago.

Though Adrien will be attending we have been given confirmation that his wife will not be attending alongside him. No news has been reported just yet, however Vivica Agreste will be doing a personal interview with 'Mode Mania' later today.

Years of knowing Nino meant two things. First, Adrien knew the hat removal meant an imminent freak out, and second, he knew Nino's telltale signs of collapsing, both of which happened within the one minute of Alya announcing her big news with zero warning.

"Now, what the fuck are we going to do?" Marinette growled, kicking the trash can laying on the floor of Luka's room. Adrien was sure would have kicked it over if it hadn't already been on the floor and spewing out its guts. How could someone so zen live in such a cesspit.
