Putting Everything in Place 3
Day three first date/fight of @chlonathweek You can read it on Ao3 here.
“I’m home,” Chloe called as she enters her house.
“Mommy!” Cheered Nicole as she runs to hug her mother.
“How was he?” Adrien asked putting his jacket on.
“I’m sure Marinette will tell you all about it. Did Nicole have lunch?” Chloe ignores the question.
She doesn’t like talking about Nathaniel in front of Nicole. Chloe told her daughter that Nathaniel got hurt, but she doesn’t know that her father has no memory of his family. Chloe decided that things are going to change.
“Yes, Nicole did have lunch. She's been good all day,” Adrien pats Nicole's head and exits.
From that day on Chloe visited Nathaniel every day. Surprising everyone, but Marinette. She had a feeling Chloe would visit more. After a few weeks, Nathaniel started to see Chloe in a new light. One day Chloe comes with a gift for Nathaniel. Holding a red bag with a white bow Chloe is full of smiles until. “What’s with the bag?” Asked Dr. Tumblr.
“Even with his memory the way it is, I’m sure Nathaniel still knows today is his birthday,” she holds the gift tight to her body.
She’s worried the doctor would try taking it from her. “May I asked what you got him?” Dr. Tumble asked.
He is starting to anger Chloe. “Does it matter. It’s a gift. Nothing’s going to jump out at him. I just bought him something I think he would like,” Chloe defends herself.
Dr.Tumble always seem to get on Chloe’s nerves with his rules. He says it’s for the best, but Chloe was having none of that today. It’s hard having to be careful of what she says. It took a week for Dr.Tumble to stop listening in when she visits Nathaniel. Dr.Tumble was about a speak again when Chloe cuts him off.
“It’s nothing from home or anything. Just something I saw at a store, and it made me think of Nathaniel. I am still able to give him a gift. It’s bad enough I had to tell Nicole she’s can’t….”
Chloe would have continued if Nathaniel didn’t open the door. “I thought I hear voices,” he laughs.
Chloe hides the bag behind her back. She pushes Dr. Tumble away and walks in the room. With a smile of victory, Chloe closes the door behind Nathaniel. He sits by the table in his room, and Chloe sits across from him. With a kind smile, she hands him her gift. “Happy birthday, Nathaniel!” She says a bit too loud, not that she cares.
Nathaniel laughs and takes the gift, “Thank you, Chloe. You didn’t have to get me anything.”
He removes the taped on the white bow from the bag and opens his gift. Inside was a little black box. Nathaniel opens it to find two silver stud earring. Since he has pierced ears, this isn’t an odd gift for him. Chloe hopes something will happen. She first gave him those earrings after on their first date shortly after their first fight.
Nathaniel stares at the earrings for a minute, “Chloe these are lovely. Thank you.”
Chloe smiles fade a bit. It seems to have not jogging any memories. “You’re welcome,” she said with a sad smile.
There was also a small folded piece of paper in the box as well as an envelope in the bag. Nathaniel unfolds the small piece of paper. It looks like a little drawing. It shows the Bee and Peacock miraculous with words I know written under the picture. It was in Nathaniel’s handwriting, and this is his art style. When did he draw this? He doesn’t seem to remember this.
Nathaniel drew this a long time ago. When he found out who Queen Bee was he left this drawing in Chloe’s locker. On the back, it has a place and time to meet. That was the day Chloe and Nathaniel went from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend.
Nathaniel can’t seem to take his eyes off this drawing. “Did I drew this?” Nathaniel finally looks up at Chloe.
“Yes. I found this in my locker,” Chloe says taking and drawing.
She turns it over and hands it back to Nathaniel. He takes it a reads the message on the back. After reading this, he closes his eyes and tries to remember. Instead, it only caused his head to hurt a bit. Nathaniel just shakes his head and then opens the envelope.
It’s a beautiful birthday card from his mother. “I’m surprised my mother didn’t come to visit me on my birthday,” Nathaniel said to himself more than anything.
“You know how busy she is,” Chloe sighs.
She still doesn’t understand why they can’t tell Nathaniel that his mother broke her leg. It’s not like she was in a car accident. She just couldn’t ski properly. “It’s okay. I’m sure she would visit if she could. I did get a call from my mom this morning,” Nathaniel smiles.
Chloe reads the card. “My sister did drop off a gift for my mom as well as her gift,” Nathaniel looks over at his new sketchbook and a picture with a homemade frame.
Chloe slides the card back to Nathaniel. “You have the sweetest mother I know,” Chloe smiles.
“Your sister on the other hand,” Chloe starts.
Nathaniel laughs and finishes, “Can be a handful at times. More so as an adult.”
The tones of the room as change when Nathaniel’s smiles turn into a frown. “Will I ever be Royal Blu again?”
Chloe doesn’t know. She wished she did. There is one thing Chloe does know. “I think you should be more focused about getting out of here.”
An idea came to Chloe. Why not leave? Just for one night. It can’t hurt him. Maybe just maybe it could help his memory.
Ever since that night, Nicole has slept in the same room as her parents. On their request. There wasn’t any more akumas since that night. That’s even worse than if there was more. Chloe is even thinking about moving. Nathaniel doesn’t want to. Not only did they just buy this house, as soon as new Hawkmoth is defeated they’ll be safe again.
They only leave the house when they need to. No more trips to the park. The patrols have doubled. Adrien even hired a bodyguard for Marinette and their son. Not that a one-year-old needs one since Hugo always with either parent.
That’s not all changed people have stopped disappearing. The ones that were taken have returned. As you would expect none of them remembers a thing. Now the team not sure of what to make of this. The akuma still has to be out there. So far no one is missing. “We must be missing something,” Chloe whispers as she passes around the room.
Nathaniel is getting Nicole ready for lunch. Right now Nicole is starting to hate being inside all day. “Daddy, park?” She asks.
Nathaniel sighs and looks up at Chloe. Still mumbling to herself, while passing back and forth. “Sorry sweetie not today,” he looks back to Nicole.
She looks sad, and Nathaniel felt guilty. Surely one day won’t hurt, right.
Queen Bee is on the roof of the hospital with Royal Blu. “I’m not so sure about this. If Dr. Tumble finds out,” Royal Blu is looking down at the parking lot.
He’s looking for Dr.Tumble’s car. Queen Bee moves to stand next to him. “You’re more worried about Dr.Tumble than Ladybug,” she laughs.
Royal Blu stands straight up. “I think Rena Rouge is the worst. Sometimes she can be hard to handle. Don’t tell her I said that.”
Queen Bee only laughs. Soon joined by Royal Blu. Queen Bee moves closer to the edge. She turns around to face Royal Blu holding out her hand. “Are you ready?” She asked.
Royal Blu answer by placing his hand on hers. They both close their hands and hold on. Queen Bee helps him onto the edge. Her silver wings spread from her back and she gently takes hold of Royal Blu’s arms lifting him up when she flies into the sky.
She flies them around Pairs. Taking him to see all the places they had once fought an akuma or took a break during a patrol. Even their old college. Now they are sitting on top of Notre Dame. Queen Bee remembers when Royal Blu brought her here on their first hero date after an akuma attack.
They are watching the people below while they talk. “I can’t believe I did this. It feels so good to be Royal Blu again. Thank you for talking me into this, Queen Bee,” Royal Blu beams with joy.
Chloe enjoys and misses seeing Nathaniel happy like this. She wishes it could last or could go back to the way it was. Her sad face didn’t go unnoticed. “What’s wrong, Queen Bee?”
Queen Bee looks at him. She missed him calling her, my queen. “Are you upset because of me?”
Nathaniel was afraid that his memory issue is causing everyone pain and sadness. “Just remembering something,” Queen Bee sighs.
Royal Blu looks back down at the people. “You don’t need to hide things from me. I feel like maybe I can find out more about my life. Even if Dr. Tumble says, I’m not. Why haven’t I heard anything about my mom?”
“She’s fine. Has a broken leg. Your mom went on a skiing trip last month,” Queen Bee sits on the edge with her legs dangling off.
“That’s all?” Royal Blu sits down next to Queen Bee crossed legged. “Why keep that from me?”
“Dr. Tumble's idea. Same with everything about your life. I don’t like it, but what all can I do about it?” Queen Bee sighs.
“Tell me,” Royal Blu speaks calmly.
Their eyes meet for a moment before Queen Bee looks away. “I’m not sure I should. I want to tell you. I’m too scared,” she whispers. “I heard what happened last time you were told too much.”
Nathaniel, on the other hand, doesn’t know what happened. “What do you want to tell me? I want to know everything. I don’t want any more lies or secrets,” Royal Blu places his hand on Queen Bee’s hand. Queen Bee stands up and dusts herself off. “First let me take you back. Then I’ll tell you one thing. As a test.”
Royal Blu laughs and stands up. “Sounds good to me.”
Once inside Royal detransforms back to Nathaniel. He waits for Queen Bee to keep her deal. Nathaniel has a massive smile on his face. He wants to know more about himself, about what people are hiding. Before she took off into the night sky, Queen Bee said only one thing, “You’re missing something that belongs on your hand.”
Later that night hours after Queen Bee left, Nathaniel is laying on his bed staring at his hands. “What could I be missing?”He tries to think but nothing. “Did I have a tattoo or something. I always wanted one.”
Not wanting his head to hurt, Nathaniel turns off the light and goes to sleep.
Back home Queen Bee lands in the front yard. Detransforms and checks the time. Then enters the house. The babysitter, Marinette is watching TV with Nicole and Hugo sleeping next to her. “How was your late night meeting?” Marinette asked.
“Could have gone better,’ Chloe was about to pay Marinette when she stops her.
“No need. You just have to babysit Hugo next Thursday.”
Chloe looks at the sleeping kids. “Sounds good to me.”
Without waking him up, Marinette was able to take Hugo home. Chloe carried Nicole into her own bed. With her daughter all nice and cozy, Chloe starts her nightly before bed routine. Washes her face and brush her teeth, before letting her hair down. Then she brushes her hair and put the curls in on the tips. Then changes into her nightgown.
Laying in bed Chloe wonders, “Maybe I should have told him something else or more.” She looks at her ring less hand.
Chloe hates that she has to take her wedding ring off when she visits Nathaniel. Putting her hair comb miraculous away in the nightstand next to the bed.
It took a while for Chloe to fall asleep. Ever since that day, it’s been hard for Chloe to fall asleep. She's not used to sleeping alone. That’s what it’s like when you’ve been married for six years.
Putting Everything in Place 2
Here’s part two for @chlonathweek You can read on Ao3.
The plan was simple. Try to find out who this new Hawkmoth is and why she is kidnapping people. To do this, they will need to capture her. Since they defeated the first Hawkmoth, they should be able to overcome this one. Neither the less they are cautious. They want to lower this new Hawkmoth to them without putting anyone in danger. The heroes were up all night working on that very plan. They try to see if they can find anything in common with the missing people. The patrols are now back until further notice. While Queen Bee and Cat Noir patrol the rest think of a plan and keep the duo up to date. “Going over the reports I did notice something,” Alya said. The others are in their civilian forms and gathered at the Lahiffe's place. The kids are with Nino’s parents for the night. In fact, everyone’s kids are with their grandparents for the night. “It seems this new Hawkmoth is going after male redheads and blondes. Both genders for blondes. Females with blue eyes and males with green,” Alya placed the reports on the table. “If my boss finds out I have these, I can kiss my job goodbye,” she sighs. “Sadly I can’t keep these for long,” she finished. “We just have to make the most of them tonight,” Cat Noir stated. “Or I can make copies at home and return them to, Alya before she has to head to work,” Marinette suggested. All eyes on her than each other. They all agreed that's a better idea. Right now they focus on the information contained in the files. The latest one was the jogger they all seen. A redheaded male with blue eyes. “What else do they have in common?” Nino asked. Checking the files everyone notice they all are between 20-30. The same age range of the heroes. All are in their late 20’s. “It’s almost like this new Hawkmoth has an idea of who we are,” Nathaniel stated. Everyone looks at him. “Explain, hun,” ordered Queen Bee. “First it may be best not to call me that while being Queen Bee.” Everyone agrees and lets her know. Queen Bee just rolls her eyes as they do. While Cat Noir holds back his laughter the best, he can. The glare from Queen Bee shows that she knows. “As I was saying it seems she may know something about our civilian identities. For three of us, it seems. Think about it. The people are in our age group, or around there. Red-haired males, so that means Ms. Hawkmoth knows Royal Blu has red hair. Male blondes with green eyes. Cat Noir matches that. Female with blue eyes and blond hair, sound a lot like Queen Bee,” Nathaniel concluded. “Hey I have a black stripe in my hair,” declared Queen Bee. “I’m sure Hawkmoth knows that’s only because of your transformation,” Nino pointed out. “If that’s the case we’re all in deep trouble,” sighed Ayla. “I don’t mind you being here, Chloe. I’m just wondering why. Are we friends now or something?” Nathaniel tries to figure things out. His head is starting to hurt, as he places his hand on forehead. It passes quickly. Chloe knows that when Nathaniel tries to remember or set something too much, it causes his head to hurt. Sometimes leaving him feeling light-headed or dizzy. One time his vision got blurry, and he passed out. Thankfully that only happened once. Chloe felt her heart stop when she heard about it. Seeing him in pain trying to remember only makes her feel worse. Part of her told her to run, save him. The other part says nothing but one word, love. “Are you alright?” Chloe asked voice still shaky. Nathaniel was surprised that Chloe seems to care about him. With a smile, he answers, “I’m fine. Thank you for asking.” Chloe seems to have calmed down a bit. “Nathaniel I’m sorry for everything I did.” She felt like she had to apologize again. She did many times while trying to better herself, now that Nathaniel’s memory isn’t the greatest right now. He is slowly getting better. He knows his age and his sister. As well as some other things about his life. Sadly his wife and daughter aren’t one of them. According to Marinette, he does know he’s Royal Blu and the identities of all heroes. Even Queen Bee. Nathaniel still smiling, “Thank you, Chloe. You don’t need to apologize. At least you know what you did was wrong and is now trying to fix it while making yourself a better person.” That was the same thing he said to her when Chloe first apologized to him, word for word. Just like last time, it brought some tears to her eyes. Unlike previous time Chloe fought off the tears and won. Marinette takes Nathaniel’s drawing so she could show Chloe. “Here’s Nathaniel's latest drawing. If you want to see. I'm sure he won't mind.” Before Chloe could see it Nathaniel snatches it out of Maranitte’s hand and hides it under his pillow. “There’s no need to see that. It’s nothing just some random silly doodles,” Nathaniel lies. He’s acting like he was back in college when no one could see his drawings. Why doesn’t he want Chloe to see it? Chloe only sighs again like she’s been doing most of the day. Looking at Nathaniel’s hands, Chloe notices something. His wedding ring is missing. What all doesn’t he know? Before Chloe could point it out the Dr. Tumble walks in. “Okay Nathaniel, I saw your head was hurting before. Is everything okay?” Everyone focuses their attention on Nathaniel. “Yes, I’m fine. It was only a minor one,” Nathaniel rubs the back of his head. “To be safe, I think we should do another test. I’m sorry, but you two ladies have to come back later.” Test? What test? Chloe doesn’t know anything about any test. What are they hiding from her? Chloe is starting to get mad. The doctor leads Nathaniel out of the room. This is the time Chloe traps Marinette into a corner. “What test? Why isn’t he wearing his wedding ring?” Marinette can tell Chloe is mad, like she knew Chloe would be. “It was Dr. Tumble idea. Until he thinks Nathaniel is ready we’re not to talk about his personal life. As for the test, it’s only an MRI.” Marinette places as a hand on Chloe’s shoulder. “Don’t worry in time we’ll tell Nathaniel everything. So far we can only talk about his sister,” Marinette takes her hand away. “What of his mother?” Chloe questions. Marinette looks out the window. “We’ll not allow to say anything.” “Let me guess we are supposed to tell him she’s fine,” Chloe rolls her eyes. “For now.” “Why can’t we tell Nathaniel that his mother has a broken leg?” “I don’t know. I don’t see why not.” “I’m not sure I like this doctor,” Chloe growls. Marinette laughs. “He’s the best one around for stuff like this. Anyways come we should head out. Let’s get some lunch and if you want to come back for another visit.” “Lunch sounds great. I’m not sure about coming back. Before I forget, what was the drawing?” Marinette just smiles, “Nothing.” Patrol is over, now everyone is in one place again. “Nothing to report,” Royal Blu announced while Carapace salutes. “Cute. Now transform back,” Alya said with a glare. Carapace still gets scared by those stiffens up a bit. As for Royal Blu, Chloe’s glares are a lot scarier. Even then they never made him jump. The duo detransform back into their civilian forms. The files are spread out on the table with almost everyone looking at them. Alya has been going over the files ever since Marinette gave her the copies. Now with more reports, the data keeps getting bigger. Soon Alya won't be able to sneak out any new information. So Rena Rouge had to ask for the updated files. “Anything new?” Nathaniel asked. “Besides that you were right. It seems this new Hawkmoth knows some things about Cat Noir, Royal Blu, and Queen Bee civilian identities,” Alya sighs while rubbing her temples. “The latest disappearance is a 26 female blond with blue eyes. She was last seen taking pictures of some flowers,” Marinette added. “Here’s the part that worries me,” Alya scans through the files until she found what she wanted. Pointing to the location of the girl was last seen. Looking at the address and the picture of the area chilled two people to the bone. “Nathaniel..” Chloe was about to say. Nathaniel only nods his head, “That’s the park we take Nicole to. Very close to close to home.” Nathaniel finished Chloe’s thought. This new Hawkmoth is getting way too close to finding them out. She needs to be stopped before it’s too late. “That’s not all,” Alya shows a person that disappeared last week. Again everyone looks at the address of where this person was last seen and the picture of the area. It was across the street from where Marinette works. It seems the new Hawkmoth knows more about the heroes than they thought. “Where do you want to go for lunch?” Marinette asked as the two were getting in the car. “I’ll pay this time,” Chloe stated, putting on her seatbelt. Marinette just laughs as she buckles herself in and starts the engine. “I would like sushi,” Chloe announced. Marinette never had sushi, but she’s willing to try everything. Chloe tells Marinette where her favorite sushi place is, and they set off. During lunch, Chloe remembers when she first brought Nathaniel here. The memory brought a sad smile to her face. To this day Nathaniel still doesn’t like sushi. Marinette notices the look on her friend’s face. “This place takes you back doesn’t it?” Chloe lets out a soft laugh. “You could say that. I’ve been coming here since I was 13. In fact, the owner invited Nathaniel and me to her daughter's wedding last year. I haven’t been here in five months.” They take a seat in front like Chloe always does. The best place in the restaurant to sit. Here you get first dibs on everything. It turns out Marinette likes sushi more than she thought she would. “What else doesn’t Nathaniel know about?” Chloe pokes at her tuna sushi with her chopsticks. Marinette takes some time to swallow her food. “He doesn’t know what happened to him. Since we can’t tell the doctors, he’s a hero that got hurt. We told Dr. Tumble that Nathaniel fell down while cleaning the gutters.” Chloe was wondering what the cover story would be. Seems kind of generic but what can they do? “That’s a given,” Chloe interrupted. Marinette doesn’t mind the interrupting Chloe. She takes a sip of tea while Chloe talks. “It took Nathaniel some time to remember his age. Sadly that’s all he knew about his life, that is until Natalie visited him.” Marinette glances at Chloe for a second. Chloe turns to face Marinette. “What did his lovely sister tell him?” “First it took some time for Nathaniel to get the fact that his younger sister not a teenager anymore. Once he got that out of the way. She told him a bit too much. Nathaniel has a wife, child, owns his own animation/comic studio. Causing him to be overwhelmed and you know the rest.” Chloe remembers him passing out, but she didn’t know it was because of Natalie. “I take it he doesn’t remember all she told him?” Chloe sighs. She knows the answer but asked the question anyway. Marinette also sighs, “When Nathaniel came back they practically had to start over. This time it didn’t take as long. Only little things and one at a time for now.” “We can’t tell him I’m his wife, or that we have a daughter. That’s just great,” Chloe mumbles into her tea. “Right now we need him to get to know you. According to the doctor. I guess you should have visited him more,” Marinette wags her finger at Chloe. “Who is calling this late at night? I need my beauty sleep,” Chloe turns over and goes back to sleep. Nathaniel grabs his phone.”It seems to be Marinette. You know she would only call this late if it was an emergency,” Nathaniel told his wife. He answers the phone. “Hello, Marinette. What’s going on?” “Leave the room while you talk. I’m trying to sleep,” Chloe groans. Nathaniel gets out of bed and leaves the room, as Chloe asked. Not a few minutes later the lights turn on. Chloe’s response is pulling the covers over her head. Only to have them taken away from her. “Get up, Chloe. There’s an akuma.” Chloe is now fully awake. “Hawkmoth is making a move.” “An akuma was in Marinette and Adrien’s house. Ladybug was able to chase it out, and it’s heading this way,” Royal Blu warned. “When did you transform?” “Does that really matter now?” “I guess we have work to do. Why so late?” “Just transform.” “Good idea. Pollen transform me.” Royal Blu is now greeted by Queen Bee when they heard a scream. “Nicole!” They both shout at once and rush towards their daughter’s room. Royal Blu kicked open the door and Queen Bee dashes in spinning top ready to go. Right behind her Royal Blu has his weapon out prepared to attack. Under the bed is where Nicole is hiding. Kneeling on her bed is the akuma that Marinette warned them about. It looks just as she described it. A humanoid with four glowing eyes. One blue, one yellow, one, purple, and one green. Butterfly-like wings, a white dress made of feathers. Bird-like feet very long snake-like hair hissing. Four arms with white fingerless gloves. Without talking Queen Bee and Royal Blu thought of a plan. Royal Blu gets it out of the room while Queen Bee takes the child and flies away. Once Nicole is in a safe place she will return to help Royal Blu. That never happened though, when Royal Blu was about to make his move the akuma now standing about to attack stops. “Stop Fairy Queen. I have what I want. Return to me.” Hawkmoth must be talking, making the heroes think of a new plan. Once again before they could put in action, the akuma jumps out the window and flies off into the night. Queen Bee runs towards the window to fly after it. “No, wait. We have a more important thing to worry about,” Royal Blu detransforms himself and walks towards the bed. Queen Bee does the same. The poor scared little girl is laying on her side her back towards her parents shivering out of fear. She doesn’t move until she hears her mother speak, “It’s okay, Nicole.” Nicole moves to lay on her stomach looking them her parents. “You can come out now,” Nathaniel coos. The little girl crawls out and hugs her parents. Both of which are glad she’s safe. That night she slept in bed with them.
Putting Everything in Place 4
You can read it on Ao3 here. Day 4 of @chlonathweek
"Remember not a word to mommy,” Nathaniel whispers. “We are going to pick up a few things from the store and not go to the park,” he helps tie Nicole’s shoes.
“Mommy not come?” Asked Nicole.
Nathaniel just smiles and rubs her head. “Ready?”
Nicole nods her head. They head out before Chloe got out of the shower. Nathaniel told her that they need some things at the store. After the park, he’s going to the store to buy things they don’t really need at this moment.
At the park, not many people are out. Though the disappearance has stopped, some are still too scared to leave their homes. Chloe is one of them when it comes to Nicole. Even though Nicole can be allowed to leave the house if she’s with at least one parent, Chloe still won’t let her child go to the park.
As Nicole plays Nathaniel keeps an eye on her while drawing on his tablet. He keeps most of his attention on his own child as well as everyone in the park. “You have a cute daughter. I see a lot of you in her,” a strange voice comes from behind Nathaniel.
He slightly turns his head to see Gabriel Agreste’s ex-assistant Nathalie Sancoeur. Ever since Hawkmoth/Gabriel was defeated Nathalie become Adrien’s assistant before she quit. No one knows why she did. Nathaniel wonders, why is she even here?
Sitting down next to him she watches Nicole play. “I do see a bit more of Chloe, to be honest. Most likely the blond hair. Those turquoise eyes are all yours. She also has your chin and skin tone,” Nathalie added.
Nathaniel was about to speak when Nathalie talks again. “I’m sure you have questions seeing me here. I did take my leave unexpectedly. I’m sorry about that. If you wish you can tell Adrien, I’m fine, and you saw me today. In fact, I’m sure you will tell Adrien all about me today,” her tone darkens.
Standing up she shows the butterfly miraculous. “Nooroo transform me!” Soon she was covered in purple light, and the new Hawkmoth is standing right in front of Nathaniel. “Now that I found a certain bird, I was surprised he was with a queen.”
That moment Nathaniel knew that she not only knows who Royal Blu was but also Queen Bee, Ladybug, and Cat Noir. Maybe even Rena Rouge and Carapace. In a flash, that night came back to him. The akuma was just to get information.
Nathaniel dashes towards his daughter, pushing Hawkmoth away as he did. With only a laugh and the screams from the few people in the park, all Nathaniel can hear. Hawkmoth stands up. “Hawkmoth maybe gone, his replacement Lady Papillon has come to play,” she calls raising her cane into the air signaling Fairy Queen to come out.
She comes flying out from where she was hiding passing Nathaniel and heading right to Nicole. Nathaniel has no choice, he transforms. Good things all civilians ran off as soon as Lady Papillon appeared.
With his feathered fan that he can take apart and toss like daggers, Royal Blu aims at Fairy Queen’s wings. It was enough to knock her out of the air. With fast movement, Royal Blu was able to grab Nicole and runoff.
Nathaniel wakes up in a cold sweat. “What kind of dream was that? It felt so real like it was really happening.”
Nathaniel looks at the open window. He forgot to close it when Queen Bee left. Getting out of bed making his way to close the window. When he reaches the window, he sees someone jumping off the top of the building across from his window. “Was that an akuma?!”
Nathaniel didn’t tell Dr.Tumble about the figure he saw or his dream. He’s not sure if he should. Right now Nathaniel just want to remember. Looking at his hand again he thinks back to what Queen Bee said. “What is missing on my hand?” He whispers.
“Hello, Nathaniel,” Chloe enters his room with a smile and some freshly baked muffins. Reading his face, she knows something happened. “Are you okay?”
Nathaniel stops staring at his hand and finally looks up. Checking to make sure no one else is around and the door is closed. “Chloe, who is Nicole?”
Surprised by his question made Chloe drop the muffins. ‘Should I tell him?’ She asked herself.
Just standing there not moving made Nathaniel rethink if he should have asked that. He can trust Chloe more than Dr. Tumble when it comes to certain things. “I had this dream last night,” he started. “In this dream, I was with a little girl named Nicole,” Nathaniel tells Chloe word for word what happened in his dream.
Hearing his dream brought that day back into Chloe’s mind. She hates that day. It what started all of this. “That wasn’t a dream. It really happened. That attack leads to why you’re here. Nicole will she’s….”
“She’s your daughter.” Natalie interrupts.
Chloe knows there’s no holding back now. Her only hope is that the consequences are minimal. “Daughter. I have a daughter,” Nathaniel looks at his left hand. “The thing missing from my hand. I have a wife don’t I?” He looks up at the two.
Chloe looks worried, while Natalie sits down next to the bed. “You sure do. I was at the wedding it was beautiful,” Natalie answered.
Chloe starts to slowly back away towards the exit. If the same thing happens as last time, she doesn’t want to see it. Nathaniel is now a bit overwhelmed. That quickly fades away thought. His trust for Dr. Tumble is hanging by a thread now. “Who’s my wife?” Nathaniel wants to know.
Natalie was about to answer but was blocked by the sound of a door closing. That’s when they notice Chloe is gone. What they don’t know is that she’s on the other side of the door leaning on it with her back on the door. ‘Leave Chloe run,’ she keeps telling herself. If only her legs would listen.
When the door she was using as support opens Chloe finds herself on the floor on her back looking up at Nathaniel. He helps her up. “Sorry, Chloe I didn’t know you were there.”
“It’s okay,” Chloe dust herself off.
Nathaniel leads her into the room and offers her a seat at the table. Chloe reluctantly sits down. Nathaniel sits on the other side of the table. Not wanting to go back to the previous conversion Chloe starts a new topic. “How is the pregnancy, Natalie?”
Natalie rubs her belly and smiles. “Everything is fine. Except for my back, feet, and knees,” she laughs.
The rest of the visit was talking about Natalie’s pregnancy, just as Chloe wanted. Natalie and Chloe were about to leave when Nathaniel stops Natalie. Chloe was very tempted to stay and eavesdrop on them. She doesn’t do things like that anymore. Instead, she walks away, slowly.
“Tell me the truth, Natalie. I’m right aren’t I?” Nathaniel asked.
Natalie can tell he is being dead serious. With a smile on her face, happy to finally being able to say to him. Hopefully this time he’ll remember. She answers his question, “Yes, you’re right.”
Royal Blu has lost Fairy Queen and Lady Papillon. Ducking behind a building in an alley Royal Blu places Nicole down. He closes his fan, so he can make a call. “Queen Bee call the others. The akuma is back, and so is her boss. Goes by the name Lady Papillon, meet me by the bake goods place.”
Royal Blu will take Nicole somewhere he knows she will be safe and return here to wait for the others. Too bad someone has other ideas. “My oh my I found a lost little bird. Would he be willing to play with me?” Fairy Queen lands right in front of him.
Right as Royal Blu was about to drop Nicole off. Lucky for him Marinette was at her parent's place. Ladybug came in at the right time. Dropping down between the akuma and hero, Ladybug glares at the enemy. Yo-yo swing as she glances at Royal Blu. Giving him a clue and chance to take Nicole away.
It doesn’t take long for Royal Blu to do just that. He goes right into a particular bakery. He enters the bakery and drops off Nicole. The owners are there staring at him. “She got separated from her parents. There is an akuma around. Please watch her until it’s safe,” Royal Blu instructed them.
They both agreed and know the child, so they call their parents. Royal Blu arrived just in time to see everyone there, plus a new akuma sneaking in. It was pure black smoke looking thing. No human shaped nor any shape really. The best term for it would be black fog maybe. Royal Blu can’t find words for it.
He’s not even sure which way it’s looking. Not that is matters Royal Blu is ready to fight. With his feathered dagger ready the hero leaps into action. As it turns out the new akuma was looking at him and was waiting for the hero to make his move.
Again Nathaniel wakes up in a cold sweat. “Was that another memory?” He sighs covering his face with his hands. “Why is this happening now?” He sighs.
Nathaniel does want his memory back, just not like this. These dreams feel creepily real. Like he’s there. Almost as if Royal Blu or Nathaniel gets hurt in the dream so would he in real life. That’s not something Nathaniel wants.
Now he knows more about what happened to him and his life. Looking out the window, he sees the same figure again. It didn’t move until Nathaniel got out of bed. The thing was gone before he even got to the window. Nathaniel still doesn’t tell the doctor about his dreams or the figure. If these are memories of things that happened to Royal Blu, Dr. Tumble is the last person he should tell.
Chloe came in late today. She's usually come in the morning not two hours before visiting hours are over. “You’re late,” Nathaniel tease.
A tired looking Chloe plops down in the nearest chair. “Babysitting three kids solo. Never again,” she takes out a bottle that has wine in it not water and takes a huge drink. “Sorry, the only way I can bring in the wine. I need after today,” she explains putting the bottle back in her beg.
Today she didn’t have her purse but instead a tote bag. He never knew Chloe had one. The Chloe he remembers never would touch one let alone let people see her with one. At least the old Chloe. Nathaniel likes this new Chloe.
“I never thought you would be a babysitter or know anyone with kids,” Nathaniel laughs. “Whose kids were you watching?”
“Marinette’s son Hugo and Alya’s twins,” Chloe brings the bottle out again.
Once that was said she quickly looks at Nathaniel. He was smiling and as if he was able to read her mind. “I know of Nana and Hana. I met Hugo last week,” Nathaniel sighs still smiling. “I thought they were lucky to have kids. I always wanted a big family. I’m glad to know I have a daughter. I just wish I could see her," his smile slowly turns into a frown.
Chloe’s heart sank. She wants to bring Nicole so much, sadly she knows Dr. Tumble won’t let her. Nathaniel tells Chloe about his dream. “Was that another memory?”
“That’s the attack that affected everyone. It seems you got the worst of it and Ladybug’s healing wave did fix you, just not 100%,” Chloe explains.
“Are you saying I’m going to stay like this?” Chloe can hear the fear in Nathaniel’s voice.
No one knows why he wasn’t fully healed or if he’ll stay this way. After four months with little improvement, things aren’t looking good. It didn’t help when Natalie drop a load on him and needed to start everything over. A little at a time seems to be the best course, Chloe noticed.
“No one knows for sure. You are putting the pieces together just very slowly. Trust me Natalie, and everyone is trying their best to help you.” Chloe can feel her tears starting.
“Even you?”
Nathaniel’s only answer was a quick nod. He looks at his ring less hand. “My wife, does she has my wedding ring?”
Chloe shakes her head. “Dr. Tumble has it as well as your wallet, keys, and clothes you were wearing that day. Before and after you transformed.”
Nathaniel taps his fingers against the table they’re sitting at. “Chloe I need to tell you something. For the past few nights, these dreams, nightmares, memories, or whatever you want to call them wake me up at night. When I do, I would see this figure outside on the roof of the building across from me. It disappears before I can get a good look at it. We defeated the akuma that did this to me, right?”
Chloe tensed up when she heard Nathaniel talk about the strange figure watching him. “We defeated Fairy Queen and Lady Papillon,” Chloe now starts to whisper a bit.
Nathaniel leans in closer to Chloe and starts to whisper also, “There was a third. Another akuma. In the dream, it looked like fog.”
Chloe sighs, “That one was also defeated. Ladybug purified two akumas. Since we knew who Lady Papillon really is, we were able to stop her the next day. It was like she was waiting for us.”
Nathaniel leans back. “Doesn’t that sound odd?”
Chloe nods, “Everyone thought so. Ever since we arrested her no new akumas. This time we did take the butterfly miraculous back.”
Nathaniel sighed in relief. That’s some good news at least. Still doesn’t explain why someone was watching him at night. “Chloe, do you think Queen Bee can check out who’s watching me at night?”
He winks, and Chloe winks back. “I’m sure she can.”
That night while Nathaniel is sleeping Queen Bee lands on the roof of the building across from Nathaniel’s room like she does every night. Also, like every night, she watches over him as he sleeps. “Don’t worry my little birdy. Everything will be fine.”
