Miraculous Ladybug - The Unfortunate

Nothing

"Peacock I'm home!" Vixen's voice rang out.

"Peacock?"

Natalie stayed quiet.

"Natalie!? Natalie!?!" Vixen called.

He rounded the corner, spotting her.

"Oh thank goodness!" He gasped. "You worried me!"

Natalie looked down.

"What's wrong?" Vixen asked, concerned. "Where's your brother? Why aren't you disguised?"

"He's gone Nathanael." Peacock replied quietly.

"Gone?"

"He's gone, gone with my miraculous." Peacock closed her eyes.

"WHAT!?" Vixen exclaimed. "He took your miraculous!? How?!"

"I told him... I told him that I'd do anything for him, that I loved him. I told him that I trusted him, that I-I'd give up my miraculous for him."

Vixen growled.

"It's my fault. Everyone told me not to trust him, but I still did. I was so blinded by the fact that my brother was alive I just-"

Vixen hugged her. "It's not your fault. They're evil people, people that would do anything to get their way. Even if it meant betraying their own family."

Natalie wiped her eyes. "You're right. Even if that thing was once my brother... it's not him anymore. And now it's my responsibility to take care of it." She walked over the wall, grabbing the bow and arrow hanging neatly on the wall.

"Natalie what are you doing?"

"I'm going to go clean up my mess." She turned to leave.

"No." Vixen stepped in front of her. "I can't let you go! You don't have your miraculous, you could get hurt!"

"I already am hurt Nathan!" She yelled, slamming her fist on the table. "Can't you see that?! This is the only way!"

"No it's not." Vixen said calmly. "Please don't do this. Just because one thing didn't work out, doesn't mean that your whole life has to end. You still have people that care about you very much."

Natalie stopped.

"Please don't leave." Vixen said quietly.

She looked down.

"I love you, and nothing's ever going to change that. We all care about you." Vixen held out his arms.

"I'm sorry." Natalie whispered, hugging him.

Vixen smiled and held her tightly.

"Sorry that I have to do this."

Natalie grabbed Vixen, throwing him into the hallway closet.

"NATALIE WAIT-!"

She quickly shut the door, and placed a chair against it.

"I'm sorry Vixen." Natalie said quietly. "But this is something I have to do."

Vixen pounded on the door, yelling at her not to go. Natalie turned her back on him and walked out the door. She hurried down the street, heading towards the place where Miss Fortune had first come through the portal. Natalie turned the corner, running into someone.

"Oh sorry-" She stopped. It was Cat Noir.

"Sorry miss! I- Wait... Natalie is that you?"

"Yep, its me..."

"What are you doing out so late? I thought Vixen was on patrol tonight."

"Oh, I'm just going for a walk."

"With your spare bow?"

Natalie smiled. "You got me. I'm doing some special training."

"Special training..?" He asked questionably.

"Yea."

Cat Noir looked at suspiciously. "Well, if you say so..."

"Don't worry about me." Natalie said, walking past him. "I'll be just fine."

She continued on, finally reaching the place where the portal had first appeared. Natalie walked out into the middle of the street. Everything seemed quiet, but she knew better. Natalie quickly drew her bow, aiming into the darkness.

"I know you're there." she hissed.

A laugh sounded from the darkness and Miss Fortune stepped into the light. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? A bird who's lost her wings."

"I might have lost them," Natalie growled, "but I'm here to get them back."

"It's really a pity that you came alone." Miss Fortune sighed. "I was hoping to acquire another miraculous tonight, but it looks like I'll have to wait... at least I have something to exchange for it."

Quick as lightning, a white blur shot out of the shadows and pinned Natalie's arms behind her back, making her drop the bow.

"Hello princess." Cat Blanc whispered in her ear.

Natalie froze, before shaking her head. She kicked Cat Blanc hard in the knee and jumped away from him. Natalie grabbed her bow and began shooting at Cat Blanc, but he was too fast. Cat Blanc slammed her into the wall with a loud crack. He stood above her with a big smile.

"You're nothing without the miraculous." Cat Blanc hissed. "Nothing."

Natalie struggled to stand up. Cat Blanc kicked her in the gut, sending her back down.

"You're nothing."

Cat Blanc suddenly went sailing. Someone quickly pulled her up.

"Cat Noir!" Natalie exclaimed.

He looked at her. "Why would you come here alone?"

"I was angry-"

"Being angry is no excuse for being stupid."

Natalie stopped.

"I just want you to stay safe." Cat Noir sighed.

"I remember this scene." Cat Blanc taunted, stalking towards them. His eyes glowed bright yellow. "The two of you, against me. And let's not forget who won last time."

Natalie tightened her grip on the bow.

"But this time, you won't go home safe and sound." Cat Blanc smiled madly. "You'll be going home in a body bag. CATACLYSM!"

Cat Blanc's hand began to glow bright yellow. He leaped towards Natalie and swiped at her. Cat Noir pulled her back. He swung his staff, hitting Cat Blanc in the gut.

"I've got him!" Cat Noir yelled. "Go get help!"

Natalie nodded, running towards the street.

"Not so fast little birdie!" Miss Fortune cried.

She wrapped her yoyo around Natalie's feet, sending her tumbling to the ground. "You're not getting away that easily, not when I still have a miraculous to steal."

Natalie struggled, but the yoyo's string was unbreakable. Miss Fortune walked over to Natalie with a smirk on her face. Natalie grabbed her legs, pulling her down, and jumped up. Miss Fortune hissed and yanked hard on ther yoyo. Natalie fell face first into the pavement. She looked up, her face bloody, and tried to stand up. Miss Fortune slammed her back into the ground with her foot. Natalie struggled to stay awake.

Miss Fortune bent down, a wide smiled on her face.

"I'll say it one more time. You are nothing."
