Under The Flames ( English Version)

This Is The War

Always the same stupid conversation.
We don't talk about him.
Too bad I'm not one to follow rules.
You will see the price to pay for daring to take him away from me.

Marinette blinked her eyes frantically as she stared at her future version crossing a portal. Accompanied by Chat Noir, Ladybug entered the school and introduced herself to the group of teenagers, also known as the heroes of that reality.

─ Let me see if I understand correctly, you're the min... -Marinette interrupted herself when she realized she would accidentally reveal her secret. ─ You're the future version of Ladybug?

─ Exactly, mini Mari. ;the adult smiled slightly, exchanging a brief look with the blonde standing by her side.

─ But what are you doing here, anyway? -Adrien asked, standing next to the young girl.

─ We're here to try to warn and protect you. -Ladybug sounded concerned.

─ Protect from what? -the blue-haired girl questioned, and her older version took a deep breath.

She didn't know how to tell her fifteen-year-old self that she had lost control and taken the life of one of the worst villains when she tried to purify him. Now, a villain much worse than him was coming to this reality.

─ Do you believe in the multiverse? -she tried a different approach.

─ It's a cool theory in movies and all, but I don't know if it can happen in reality. -Alya said, breaking the silence.

─ But it exists, Alya, and something terrible is about to happen that could destroy all space-time. -Chat Noir explained. ─ This world where you live is just one of many existing universes. But an incident happened regarding this.

─ What kind of incident?

Ladybug took a deep breath and started giving all the details, from Monarc's time travel to the incident in the prison, doing her best to keep hidden what the real threat to all worlds was, as well as Chat Blanc.

Marinette listened attentively, also stopping to analyze her future version. Her costume had more details and seemed to have adapted well to her older version's body. Her pigtails were now replaced by a high ponytail, leaving only two strands in front.

She also analyzed Chat Noir. His muscular body was now more defined in the suit. You could easily see his muscles on both his abdomen and arms. His hair was now longer, with a good part tied back.

She couldn't help but blush when Chat winked at her after noticing that she was looking at him. Her mind was confused; she had already admitted to herself that she felt something more for Chat Noir, but she didn't imagine she would react like this to the older version of the cat hero.

"Literally a cat."

─ And now we're afraid that the fugitive is coming here. -her mind fell silent with Ladybug's last sentence.

─ Why would she come? -Marinette tilted her head to the side, puzzled.

─ This reality here is considered the Original Earth, the center of the multiverse. -the older blue girl gesticulated with her hands as she spoke. ─ All the other realities exist only because of this one. If she destroys it, everything else will be destroyed too.

─ So she has to be stopped as soon as possible. -Nino raised his voice and stood up.

─ That's where the problem is, we don't know where she is. She broke the bracelet she used, which we could use to track her. -Chat leaned on the staircase railing.
