Queen Bee POV

I stood underneath the Eiffel Tower in Hawkmoths assigned costume (albeit ridiculous- it seemed he had some fashion taste), and let out a sigh at how harsh his plan was.

He knew who I was, my identity was compromised, not to mention he offered something I couldn't say no to- so I signed away my name. I sold my soul to the devil.

Let's just hope that the gamble pays off.

I really don't want to go to hell without having a successfully content life up here first.

That's when I saw them.

That's when I saw my team and I let out a gasp in surprise.

Ladybug, Chat Noir, Carapace, and Rena Rouge- they all stood in line, ready to fight, that didn't surprise me- they were always ready to put their lives on the line for the mission. But what did surprise me was that their hoods were lowered and their identities were displayed to the world. Marinette, Adrien, Nino, Alya.

They all stood there, weapons in hand, ready to fight for the very company that enslaves them, and then they were ready to die at the hand of the very company they fought tooth and nail to keep running.

I guess I couldn't be too surprised, they were always more insane than anyone could see- not to mention always had unorthodox ways to solve unsolvable problems. They were what made our squad the best in the organization. I turned back to see Hawkmoth's eyes wide in surprise before murmuring something unintelligible under his breath that sounded suspiciously like, 'no, it can't be.' before he snapped back into his villain persona.

Hawkmoth walked up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder, causing me to tense up as he squeezed my shoulder. I held in a painful wail as his nails drew into my shoulder, drawing blood. He leaned in and whispered into my ear, "You know what to do, Queen Wasp."

Against my better judgement, I rolled my eyes at the new name he gave me- Queen Bee to Queen Wasp- how original, Hawkmoth. I sashayed forward and faced my worst fear, harming my best friends.

My hand grabbed my new and improved weapon, Stinger, and threw it at Ladybug. I held in a grimace at my action, but quickly remembered just why I was doing this. If Hawkmoth won he'd disband Miraculous Inc, we'd all be free. I wasn't just doing this for me- I was doing it for the entire team, I was doing it for the entire branch of the organization. I was doing it for every unlucky little kid that would get dragged into the corrupt world, every young agent who died in action during their missions.

I wasn't being selfish or wrong for fighting for Hawkmoth.

If anything, my team was being selfish, they were fighting change, they were staying the mindless, obedient drones that the agency built them to be. But not me, I was no one's puppet.

Not Miraculous'.

Not W.A.I.T.

And certainly not Hawkmoth.

Chloe Bourgeois worked for no one but herself and answered no one's orders unless they fit with her agenda.

I was going to destroy Miraculous Inc and achieve freedom, that's where I overlapped with Hawkmoth's ideology, but make no mistake, as soon as he strayed from my needs and stopped being useful, he was dead.

It wasn't as if I was doing anything wrong, I was simply staying true to my name, Queen. And Queens bow to no one.

With that, I flung my lethal weapon at my closest friends and hoped for the best.

-=-

Short but sweet, gosh I love Chloe's POV she's such a complex character and easy to hate, but I truly believe that she has good in her heart, and if we maybe see a different side of her in the show we can learn to love her.

Hope you enjoyed it!
