(A/n: This chapter is dedicated to the person who voted for me on Wattpad and gave me kudos on AO3. You know who you are.😏)

Miette is sitting on the bed in your room when you arrive. "Hi? What're you doing in my room?" She tosses a familiar sweater onto the floor. Then pants, gloves, a mask and a grappling hook.

"Oh! You found my cosplay gear!" you say with false enthusiasm.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No!"

"Then why did you think I wouldn't put 1 and 1 together and get 2? Your persistent drowsiness. You collapsing and falling unconscious multiple times during school. Your second phone. The sudden consideration on how your actions affects others."

"I-."

"Why now?!...Why couldn't you have become amnesiac before?! Goddamnit! Why pick now to be a person?!"

"I-?"

"I've read up on amnesia. It does not change personality. I won't tell anyone that you aren't my sibling." You want to lie to her but the look on her face tells you she isn't in the mood for it.

"You're the first person to figure it out."

"What's your real name?"

"You won't believe me if I tell you." You pause. "(Y/n) (L/n)."

"You're bullshitting me."

"Don't curse! You're like 12."

"I am 12. So Heureux?"

"It was always my dream to be a superhero. Like Batman!"

"Who's Batman?"

"He doesn't exist here. Think of KnightOwl or Sparrow."

"You're from another universe?"

"I...guess? Are we cool?"

"Yes."

"What'd other (Y/n) do to make you hate them?"

"They refused to testify against our birthgiver. She hurt them the most out of all of us and they acted like we were crazy for wanting her out of our lives."

"Y'know, it's easier for some people to believe they weren't abused. Especially by people they love."

"I am aware of that! But I felt so..."

"It's okay to feel that way." Miette throws herself at you and hugs you.

"I won't tell anyone about Heureux." she mumbles into your shirt.

"Thanks, lil sis!"

"Do not call me that."

"Now I can go on patrol again."

"You're really dedicated to this."

"I like doing it." you reply.

"Will you be telling father?"

"When hell freezes over, I'll consider it."

"He'll change if you just-."

"Just drop it." you sigh. "Please."

"Okay. Are you going out tonight?"

That night, you head out for patrol. There's nothing happening. You go out the next few nights and there's practically nothing happening.

It's been...quiet after the Simon Says incident. There hasn't been an akuma attack in four days despite Mireille and Aurore's obvious fight over who wants to win more. It's Aurore, but you're not getting in the middle of that.
