Miraculous One Shots {Requests Open}

Spirits and Loses (Part 3)

Do I even have to repeat myself?
———————————————————————

•Adrien's POV•

I get up to the top of the hill and I am hit by the light from the city that stood in front of me. I had finally found Paris again. My home.

Tikki and Plagg seem excited, mostly Tikki, but I could tell that Plagg was hiding his excitement.

"Does this bring back old memories, kid?" Plagg asked me.

"It sure does," I replied. "I feel like I've been hit with a wave of nostalgia."

"That's good," Plagg nodded, before turning his focus to Tikki. "Where do we go first? Adrien's home? Your miraculous holder's home? Master Fu's place? Or do we just wander around Paris first?"

"I'm not quite sure yet...maybe we should wander around until I figure out what would be the best idea," Tikki whispered.

"If you insist. Kid, do you wanna transform for this?"

"Nah," I replied. "I think I'll just wander around in my civilian form. Besides, I've transformed with you enough, you can have a break."

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Tikki flew around in a circle, her excitement definitely getting the best of her.

The three of us made our way into the city, I found a way on top of the rooftops and continued to wander while Tikki thought about where we should go first. All was going well until I abruptly stopped in his tracks, confusing the two Kwamis.

"Adrien?" Tikki asked.

"Kid?" Plagg asked right after Tikki.

"What's wrong?"

"I hear...sobbing.." I whispered. "Maybe we should figure out who it's coming from."

Plagg nodded while it was Tikki who spoke. "Typical Adrien, wanting to figure out what's wrong before he deals with his own problems. That's nice."

I smiled slightly and managed to let out a chuckle. "C'mon, it's coming from this direction..."

•Third Person•

Mariposa sat on the edge of one of the many Parisian rooftops, hiding her face in her gloved hands as she sobbed. Her staff laid next to where she sat, and her wings drooped in sorrow and mental pain; showing emotion just Chat's cat ears.

She didn't care if anyone saw her like this. She felt too much pain and sorrow to even worry about that.

A few butterflies flew around her, trying to comfort her in any way that they could. But it just wasn't working. It seemed that nothing could help her now.

———

Adrien, Tikki, and Plagg came up to a nearby rooftop, seeing Mariposa sobbing with the butterflies fluttering around her.

"Who's that?" Adrien asked, clearly confused.

"No clue, but they seem to have possession of the moth miraculous instead of Hawkmoth now." Plagg pointed out.

"Hm..."

Tikki surprisingly stayed quiet while the other two tried figuring out who that was and what was going on. She noticed Mariposa's dark blue hair in pigtails, which reminded her of Marinette, except the pigtails were longer, down to Mariposa's waist supposedly. She blinked, realizing that Marinette's hair would be longer since it's been years.
