Spots Of Change Summary:
After she can’t deal with the stress of her hero and school life anymore (and also Chat Noir’s constant harassment), Marinette quits being Ladybug and transfers to a new school. The new Ladybug is just as efficient as Marinette was, but more strict and harsh. Not taking any of Chat Noir’s BS, flirting or laziness and is more harsh towards citizens like Alya (for filming Akuma attacks and trying to get interviews with her), Lila (exposing her lies on live TV) and Chloe (for just being a straight up bitch).
Despite keeping Paris safe and taking down Akuma’s even faster then the old Ladybug, a lot of Paris aren’t comfortable with this new more strict Lady. Most especially Adrien, Alya and Chloe. Then one day when Alya tries, again, to interview the two heroes on a live stream, this Ladybug reveals the original one revealed why she quit before passing down the Miraculous Ladybug to her. How she couldn’t take the stress and pressure of keeping Paris safe, trying to keep her emotions in check, Chat’s never ending sexual harassment and tantrums, and how her the former class, the Akuma class, and false friends treated her civilian self like a slave and took her for granted.
Chapter Text
Marinette honestly had never felt better ever since she gave the Ladybug miraculous to someone trustworthy. She felt so free. She could finally be a normal teenager.
“Hey, look, it’s the new Ladybug and Chat Noir! She’s being interviewed by the Ladyblogger!”
Of course Marinette didn’t give the miraculous to another teenager. That would be stupid and history would repeat itself.
“Is that so?”
She needed an adult.
An adult who could defend herself, had a strong mentality, who wouldn’t take their crap. Someone who would actually be tough for Hawkmoth. Someone who would be better than her.
“Yeah…but something is off.”
She moved schools for the better of her mental health. She wouldn’t have to deal with Lila, Alya, Adrien. Nobody. She wouldn’t have to do anything with Chat Noir anymore either unless it came to that.
Things honestly couldn’t be any better.
“Chat Noir, unlike the other, I don’t tolerate this playfulness on duty.” Anatis scowled as Chat Noir cowered. “You’re lucky that you managed to get this far without someone stripping you free of your miraculous.” Her gaze was on his ring. “I don’t know how Ladybug could deal with such…incompetence. She’s better than me I suppose.”
“H-Hey! I’m not incompetent!” Chat Noir exclaimed, trying to save some face. It was humiliating, getting tore down by this new Ladybug. Just who did she think she was? It was him and Ladybug against the world! Not some new girl! Just why would Ladybug leave her miraculous to someone so…mean? “It was originally just Ladybug and I! Not all these…other heroes! I don’t know why Ladybug gave you her miraculous! You must’ve stolen it or something!”
“And it won’t end with Ladybug and Chat Noir. Remember that. If Ladybug hadn’t trusted me, do you really think I would’ve had one of the most important miraculous?” Anatis laughed, before she narrowed her eyes. “One thing you aren’t going to do is disrespect and doubt Ladybug. You will put some respect on Ladybug’s name, who saved you all countless of times. Who took this job more seriously than anyone else. If it wasn’t for Ladybug, Hawkmoth would’ve won already.” She sneered. “Do you really think that I’m stronger than Ladybug?”
Alya was in shock. Well, she didn’t think that the new Ladybug was stronger than the original Ladybug. She just wished that the original Ladybug would come back. Nobody liked Anatis. She was far too strict and harsh. “Are you saying that you aren’t?”
