Pain's Gift

Chapter 15-Back to the Basics

Marinette's POV
"Clara. That's a really pretty name." I responded.

"Thank you! Marinette, you know you are the chosen one right?" Her voice sounded like a bell. Smooth, soft, and kind. I nodded. "The task is hard." She looked around to observe her surroundings. She spotted Nooroo, and her eyes went big, if that was even possible. "Nooroo?! How did you escape...H-how are you even here?! What happened to Hawkmoth?"

"Hold on. I was rescued. Marinette saved me. I owe everything to her. Although, Hawkmoth still has the miraculous." Suddenly Clara rushed up to me and hugged my cheek.

"Oh thank you so much, Marinette! Us kawmis owe you." She took a look at Chat Noir. "You must be the new Chat of this era huh?"

"That I am. It's ok I am here by the way Marinette is my girlfriend," he reassumed.

"I know what you do, but how do you actually work this power I have been given. How do I transformed? Am I even need now? Nooroo is safe so what is the point anyway?" I questioned.

"Yes, you are still needed more than ever even. After Nooroo is free Hawkmoth will become even darker, more powerful. With enough power he can transform by himself. He needs the help of an akuma, and one is already roaming the city. It will be likely that Hawkmoth has already wielding this power. First, I want you to transformed. Get you acquainted with your suit and have you learn how to fly and all that. We might need a few sessions of this sort of training. To transform, you say wing up, alright?" Clara commanded.

I nodded and confidently said,"Wing up!" A white light enveloped me, changing my appearance. It felt amazing to be in a suit again. I missed the feeling. My hair grew longer, had lighter blue highlights, and became undone out of pigtails. My outfit was mostly white with a little bit of cream, unlike my Ladybug suit, it was light and flowy not clinging to my skin. It was a short dress waving out on the back. I did have wings! They were white and light pink, the link outlining the white areas. My mask was white, too, quite feathery on my skin. The costume didn't cover my whole body. My legs were exposed and arms, and I wore flats on my feet. To top off my outfit I had the pin placed on the left keeping my sash on.

"You look like an angel, princess," Chat complimented.

Surprisingly, Clara was still in front of me. She explained, "For the first ten times you transform, I will be here guiding you and helping you. To move your wings, just use your muscles in your back and quench them together to fly higher or loosen them to fly lower. To maneuver around just think of the direction you want to go. Try it!" I nodded in response. I tightened my back muscles a little. In response the wings lifted me slightly off the ground. I stiffed them more this time. I successfully lifted myself about 10 feet off the balcony. I loosened my muscles a little and landed safely onto where everyone else was waiting. "Amazing job!" Clara said pridefully. "Wanna try moving from roof to roof? Chat, can you follow her just in case she falls?"

"Of course. I will protect her with my life," he said. I concentrated a lot when I flew from roof to roof. As we went on I got very confidant and went faster and faster. Soon I was laughing and having so much fun. After a while a strong wind picked up. I was struggling a lot. The pressure on my wings were a lot worse than before soon I was spiraling out of control.

"Chat!!!" I was falling really fast. Each second I fell closer and closer to the ground. I felt so helpless. A black blur swept me up and rushed me to a rooftop. "I knew you would catch me, my knight in shining armor." I said kissing him passionately. I pulled out and said,"I need to try again. This is good practice for me anyway. I need to master this today!" I flew back into the air and tried to fly forward in the strong wind. I was struggling really hard. It pushing my wings back folding them. I couldn't push them back very well limiting my hight. I was tiring very quickly so I was forced to land. "Okay Clara. What kind of powers do I have? Do I have a weapon?" I inquired.

"You don't have a physical weapon. You have magical powers to restrain the akumatized villains. We don't want to hurt them so instead this helps with defense. Depending on the villain, you can I summon different kinds of restrains. Say the villain in very strong, then you get stronger restraints such as a iron bars. You can also summon walls to protect yourself and your teammates. To fight you can also conjure up magical projections. As for protecting citizens for akumas. Well that isn't so simple." She looked down. "We can talk about that on our time but you should practice your magic. Just focus your energy. Try to make in into a sphere." I pushed my energy into my right hand and a little spark showed up for a second. I already felt drained. I tried again. A larger spark held its place for 30 seconds.

"Is this supposed to be so draining?" I asked gasping for air.

"Actually yes. Please don't overdo it. It gets better as time goes on. We can try again later, ok? I only want to spend three more transformation on this. We need a lot of time for making the whitish pink butterflies to protect the citizens. You can only use magic in the suit, ok? This is good. You have done really well at flying! But let's stop today. Plus you glowing here at night. Someone is bound to spot you. You aren't ready to be a hero yet but with a little more practice you will be a superhero again!" She lectured.

"I'm so tired. Ahhh," I yawned. "Chat, can you carry me home?" My eyes became more and more droopy. Soon enough I fell into a deep sleep.
