Chapter Text
The sun was beating down and scorching my skin. My skin was overly moist with sweat from the sun. And from the boiling frustration at the scene playing out in front of me. My parents, my mommy and daddy had been akumatized and are currently terriozing Paris and it's citizens. My chest sags with heaviness as I watch the scene unfold.
A thought occurs to me as I watch the scene unfold. I'm a hero. I'm queen bee. I have both the ability to stop them and get through to them and help solve whatevers troubling them and got the akumatized in the first place. And yet Ladybug chooses to sideline me even though I have a personal connection to the akumatized victims. The frustration is making my head spin and my stomach twist in nots.
Suddenly out of the corner of my eye a blur of red catches my attention. I turn my head to see Ladybug and Rukyo!? That's who Ladybug chose to help? First of all she so no connection to the akumatized victims. And two she revealed her identity! The same reason Ladybug told me I couldn't be a hero anymore.
This isn't fair, how come she still gets to play hero but I can't! Why? Why!? In the heat of the moment and in a fit of rage I throw my sunglasses to the ground and started to repetitively stomp on them. My face burns and my fists are clenched so tightly there turning white.
After a few seconds of stomping and throwing a fit, my stomping stills and I'm left to look at the consequences of my actions. My beloved pair of of sunglasses, the only gift my mother bothered to buy me during my whole life. Now lies in shambles because I lost my temper.
I stare in bewilderment at what I had done. And I find myself going onto my hands and feet something I would normally never do to try to pick up the pieces of my beloved sunglasses. I feel my eyes start to sting and my vision glosses over. And I feel my bottom lip start to tremble as I try to piece my sunglasses back together.
As I pick up the broken shards piece by piece, I find my heart growing heavier and the tears that had been building up finally fell. But even as I cry I still find myself picking up pisce after piece in a desperate attempt to fix what's broken. As I'm picking up the last few visible pieces I hear the sound of butterfly wings. Which sounded peaceful at first but then I realized. I'm hearing a butterfly which means,
"So we meet again, Miss Bourgeois."
My hand instantly stills and my blood runs cold. I slowly bring my eyes up and my breath hitches at I make eye contact with Hawkmoth. I continue to look him directly in the eye even as my tears of woe continue to fall.
"Looks like you've had a very hard day."
"Yeah, no thanks to you. If it weren't for you my parents wouldn't be akumatized and my sunglasses would still be in one piece!" I bite.
"Everything happens for a reason Chloe. And Ladybug's lack of trust in you is an example."
"How would you know that?" I yell but my voice faulters halfway through.
"Ladybug lost trust in you, not because you did anything wrong. But because she's a hypocrite."
"What's your game? What do you want?"
"I want you to be happy Chloe. I want you to succeed. I want to you to finally be exceptional."
"And how would I achieve that?"
"By welding the bee miraculous again."
"Well, that's the one thing I don't have."
"Who says that?
He then pulls out a brown box and hold it in his hand and extends his hand and the box out to me.
"Come on Chloe, let's prove Ladybug wrong. And that you truly are exceptional."
I take the box from his hand and open it, as I open it I'm met with the familiar bright yellow light and an awakened Pollen.
"Hello my-" Pollen starts before freezing.
"Now do we have a deal Chloe?"
"Only if you release my parents first."
Hawkmoth snaps his fingers.
"Consider it done your masjesity.
I take the bee comb from the box and put it into my hair. As I do pollen looks at me with the look of fear and hurt in her eyes. Tears begin to well up in my eyes once more and I mouth an ' I'm sorry' to Pollen.
"Pollen Buzz On."
A warm feeling spreads through out my body as I'm covered in the Miraculous' energy and my body and it's power and abilities become one. As soon as my transformation comes to a close I'm met with an akuma. I accept the new abilites and feel a burning sensation wash over me as the akuma's darkness envelps me.
"Are you ready my queen?" Hawkmoth asks.
"As I'll ever be." Miracle Queen Responds.
