Lost City of Gold ⚱️

Themselves

The children were playing ball to one day become champions in the Mesoamérican ball game like the grownups. Blu Tembo and Ladybug were natural with kids and they always knew how to handle them. Blu Tembo has always been great with handling his younger sister for 8 years by being the big brother. Ladybug always is great at babysitting, despite when there's an Akuma attack, she would always have Alya to help.

Panthera and Cat Noir just watched them play. Panthera hasn't gotten much around younger kids since she's the youngest sibling in the family but she did somehow have a little family get-together with younger cousins. Cat Noir was always friendly around kids when it came to doing cat puns and saving kids from Akuma attacks, especially how natural he is with babies like handling Gigantuan.

"Heh, it's like cubs and kittens always like to play around" Panthera chuckled.

"It's natural when they grow up so fast. Milady is always the best with kids. Even your elephant guy seems to know so well with handling them too, like an older brother" Cat Noir said.

"Heh, sometimes being the youngest or oldest sibling in the family is hard. If you're the oldest, you have to keep an eye on your siblings. If you're the youngest, it's tough when you have to listen to the oldest sibling bossing you around. I never knew what being an only child felt like. I suppose the luckiest" Panthera shrugged.

"Sometimes but very lonely too. Having cousins near your age, it almost feels like having a sibling" Cat Noir said.

"Heh, that reminds me. A month ago I was in London doing......vacation stuff for Europe photography.....and came across a boy in a chess game competition, I thought he looked a bit like the model guy from Paris, Adrien Agreste. But then his name was known as Felix Fathom. I thought those two were like twin brothers or something. I heard that he said he's Adrien's cousin" Panthera said, lying about photography when it was actually college work but also a world tour in Europe.

"They are and Ladybug saved him from akumatized girls" Cat Noir explained.

"That explains it. Those two are like famous young stars from rich families. Felix the best master in chess games in London while Adrien is the best model in Paris. It's like two people from different worlds" Panthera said.

Cat Noir was always the shy boy behind the mask, feeling as though it made him feel like he was not being true to himself every time his father makes orders to him to look his best in modeling ads.

"Estas bien, gatito?" Panthera asked.

"Yeah, just having second thoughts. Milady always has more responsibilities, especially having new teammates, I just feel like one day she won't need me around" Cat Noir sighs.

"Don't say that, gatito. She would always need you. A superhero can't always do everything alone. Superheroes stick together as teamwork. I know she's the leader but you are second in command, and every team needs a second in command. It's the same as leading" Panthera puts her hand on his shoulder, "Yin can't exist without the Yang, gatito"

"Yeah, you're right," Cat Noir said.

Panthera looked up at the sky, seeing the crescent moon a few inches close to the sun for a total solar eclipse to unleash the evil god from his prison.

"What's wrong?" Cat Noir noticed.

"Nothing. Just keeping an eye out on the solar eclipse since we all know what's to come. Reminds me how the Mayan calendar thought 2012 was the end of the world but they were wrong" Panthera said.

"Instead, it reset," Cat Noir said.

"Maybe" Panthera shrugs.

"Or perhaps fate changes to something else," Cat Noir said before grabbing a mango from the food market, "Want some?"
