Ladybug's face turned white as she heard him utter those three words and he placed her fragile body down on the roof below. She grasped blindly for his hands for balance and, most importantly, to share how she felt.

"You don't have to do this if you're not ready, it's alright," she said with panic in her voice.

She refused to open her eyes, she couldn't face the truth. What if she was wrong this entire time? What if she had gotten all her hopes up only to be disappointed in the end? That was a pathetic thought, whoever he was underneath it all she knew she would never be disappointed.

"It's alright," he breathed, "you can open your eyes."

She shook her head, if she opened her eyes she didn't know what was going to happen. She wished it wasn't like this, she wished her reveal could have been done when she was comfortable. She wished she could start over.

Love, what a pathetic thing. Always surrounded by drama and always ending in heartbreak. Enough was enough, no one in Paris would have to feel the hard sting of love ever again. And she was going to make sure of that. She wiped the tears cleanly off her face as she stood up, activated by a dangerous power.

"Mémoire Vierge, I am Le Papillon."

A smirk twisted upon her face. Finally, Paris would be free. The darkness consumed her as noxious thoughts filled her mind.

"My Lady?" Chat - Adrien - spoke up, the pair had been standing in silence with only their hands intertwined for what felt like centuries.

Ladybug took in a deep breath at the mention of her nickname. It felt like reality crashing down upon her, she was his lady. She had been from the start.

"Chat-" she began before being interrupted by an evil cackle and the screams of the innocent.

She dropped his hand in an instant, quickly grasping her yo-yo and preparing to leave. He eyes were still tightly shut, though.

"Chat, you need to transform. We'll talk about this later," she stated.

She only opened her eyes once she heard him activating his kwami's power. As soon as she heard that her eyes darted open and she leapt away towards the screams. There was no time to wait for her catty partner when countless lives could be in danger. Chat Noir sighed at his failed reveal and followed after his partner and the love of his life. He couldn't help but feel a pit in his stomach forming as his mind became consumed with Ladybug and how she acted about finding out who he really was.

Ladybug arrived at the scene before her partner and in the middle of the road stood a woman. Her dress as dark as night with purple neon highlights scattered throughout, a glowing symbol of a broken heart lay in the centre of her chest. Around her were people covering their ears, screaming with tears rolling down their cheeks. Each person screaming had a concerned partner beside them with fear and heartbreak in their eyes.

What had happened here? Chat Noir's eyes connected with Ladybug's, he couldn't let her get hurt due to this villain. He couldn't bare to hear her screams of agony, his fist clenched tightly around his staff as his eyes angrily met those of the villain they were facing. His lips curled into a snarl at the mere thought of his lady getting injured.
