GABRIEL POV

Gabriel came to and stood up, rubbing his head just as his eyes landed on the TV.

"4 Colorful costumed Avengers," he heard the news drone off.

He froze when he saw the 3 kids in Super suits. A Ladybug, A Black Cat... and an Owl. Then the news switched to a screen of the crime scene just as a girl in a Wolf Suit flew overhead.

"Who are these 4 heroes, friends, or foes? This is Nadja Chamak, don't be bemused, it's just the news."

Turning, he saw the broach on the floor with the butterfly kwamii beside it, groaning.

"Insect! You said there were 2 not 4!" Gabriel said, roughly grabbing the kwamii and glaring at him.

"But master, there are-" Nooroo trailed off, zoning out.

"What?"

"I just sensed 3 Miraculous awaken, 1 of which are not from my Miracle Box," said Nooroo, amazed.

.

Gabriel picked up the broach and put it on.

"Hmm, then that means 2 more pests to exterminate," Gabriel said, letting go of the kwamii.

Nooroo looked in horror as Gabriel, looking at the portrait of his lost wife, recited the trigger phrase.

"Nooroo, Dark Wings, Rise!"

KYRI POV

Kyri lay curled up in bed as her phone went off, groaning, she sat up swiping away the alarm. Holly followed her down the stairs of the loft bed as she was getting ready for the day. After getting dressed she washed her face then looked at her unkempt shoulder length hair in her bathroom mirror.

"And this is why mom bought me hair pins," Kyri muttered, opening the plastic packaging and grabbing a golden hair clip combing and pinning her unruly hair.

After that, she opened the door, only to be greeted with a stack of boxes. The helicopter must have come last night. Last Night. She winced at the memory of the car and her outburst at the owl kwamii. Shaking off the anxiety, she called in the staff to help her grab boxes and unpack. Opening a box, she took out her whole set of Wings of Fire. All 15 books plus the special editions she had gotten last Christmas. Still not able to take her mind of last night she, left the staff unpack the rest as she grabbed her bag and went to breakfast. She grabbed a waffle and sat down to eat, just picking at the waffle with her fork.

"Happy Birthday Kye, how are you songbird?" Kyri's mother asked sitting next to her and pushing a small box towards her.

Kyri nodded, finally eating a bite of her breakfast. Her mother looked at her with concern.

"You ok honey?" She asked softly, putting a hand on Kyri's shoulder, final breaking her out of her depressed trance.

"Um yeah I just... You have to keep your identity secret," echoed the words in her mind.

"I miss Texas," she finished quietly, pulling her knees up to her chest.

Kyri's mom put a hand on Kyri's shoulder.

"Honey I know, but you know, this is why I moved, for you."

She nods, smiling.

"Thanks."

She hugged her mother.

"Now come on, I'll give you a ride, plus, I'm sure Roderick would understand if I were a bit late to work."

Kyri smiled and followed her mom out to the car, but a big pit of dread still hung in her chest, horrified for the day to come.

°•{~}•°

She stepped out of the car looking at the regale shape of Françoise Dupont in front of her. She walked into the school, Holly following close behind her. Almost immediately, Chloé ran up to her, throwing her her arms around Kyri, causing the redhead to stumble back a few steps with a startled squeak.

"Happy B-day K.P.!" Cried the mayor's daughter, shoving a box into Kyri's arms.

Kyri stood there, eyes wide, still recovering from the scare.

"And h-hi to you too," she says shyly before realizing what her friend had called her.

"Wait K.P.?"

"Um duh, come on, all my friends have to nicknames," said the blondie.

"Now open your present," Chloé squealed in excitement.

"Okay..."

Kyri pulled at the ribbon of the fancy present and opened the box to reveal the inside stuffed to brim with make-up, jewelry, and lots of mini trinkets, plus some stuff for Holly too, including a jeweled collar, some dog food, and treats.

"Geez um... thanks?" Kyri tried, looking a flamboyant neon pink bracelet, that could nullify even the brightest neon paints and lights a chameleon.

"No problem, what do you think!" Chloé pushed.

"It's... um... Colorful?"

"Thanks!" Chloé hugged Kyri again then grabbed the box and shoved it into Sabrina's arms. Then Chloé went off to go bother Evie leaving a very confused Kyri behind. She shook her head and trailed after the blondie, very quiet.

"Adrikinz, you came! But I thought you said you weren't coming with us to the fair," Chloé squealed, squeezing a blonde boy tightly, who Kyri realized was Adrien. He looked in surprise as he noticed Kyri clutching the leash tightly that Holly was attached to.

"Oh Kyri hi again," he said, pushing himself out of Chloé's choking grip and walking over to the redhead. They awkwardly stood in front of each other for a moment before Adrien gave Kyri a light hug. She hugged him back.

"Wait what?! You two know each other?!" Chloé asked, looking utterly confused.

"Yeah um... We met at one one of my concerts," Kyri mumbled, stepping away from Adrien.

He finally realized what Chloé had said and his face screwed up.

"Oh wait, your father has no idea, does he?" Evie realized, shrugging Chloé off.

"No..."

"OH!!! E.T. K.P. you two should TOTALLY come to the fair with us!" Chloé shouted.

"Cool I guess," Evie said as Kyri quickly nodded.

"Cool," Adrien said with a small smile.

Kyri nodded and they all went to class.

°•{~}•°

The redhead trailed behind Alya and Marinette as the two walked. Before she had headed back to the fair, at home she changed into a green zip up jacket with a pastel decoration of trees on the back, completed with a plain white shirt, dark green sneakers, and light blue ripped jeans. Hood over her head, her violet eyes were hidden as she looked down at her shoes as she walked, hands shoved into her pockets. Her fingers brushed the box she had shoved into it and she flinched. Earlier before she had left she spotted the ear cuff box in her dresser.

"I might need this... Maybe I could give it to someone else," she has thought quickly tucking it into he pocket before hurrying out to the car to be driven to the fair.

She ran into Alya and jumped back with a mumbled apology. Alya nodded and went back to talking with Marinette.

"If only you'd been there to see it," Alya said.

"One of them gave me a fist bump!" Alya squealed, bouncing along like a kid on Christmas.

"I think I got the gist," Marinette said quietly, adjusting her bag.

Alya suddenly stopped and Kyri ran into her again, losing her balance and falling.

"Oops sorry," Alya said, helping Kyri up.

She nodded, petting Holly. Suddenly the bespectacled girl gasped, as if she remembered something.

"Can you believe it? A butt-kicking, girl, superhero. And I took her first picture!"

Alya pulled out her phone, displaying pictures of Watermelon Girl, A transformed Kyri, and Chat.

"Couple goals, don't you think?"

"Your nuts, am I right Kyri?" Marinette said, turning to the redhead.

Kyri shrugged.

"Why what's up?" Alya wondered.

"That's not my- I mean, her boyfriend," Marinette said.

"How do you know?"

"It's obvious, look at the pictures."

She started swiping through them, commenting on some including Watermelon and Chat tied up, colliding with each other, on each others shoulders surfing on the water, and Chat holding Watermelon. Kyri's only question was how did she get some of these? The last was a video of them photobombed by Kyri's face, eyes wide, mouth open as she screamed, pulled along by the arrow.

"Oops that one was an accident," Alya said, pulling her phone away.

"Anyways I'm gonna ask her when I see her again."

Kyri started to say something but stopped.

"What is it?" Alya asked.

"It could be dangerous Alya," Kyri mumbled, not wanting anymore close friends or family being hurt.

"If you wanna be a reporter, you have to get close to the action," Alya said, bumping Kyri's shoulder reassuringly.

Kyri shrugged, nodding.

"Now about love, don't fall for any act," Alya said suddenly, gripping Marinette.

"So embarrassing when they try to be funny."

She sticks out her tongue in disgust.

"Roses mean they're desperate."

She stopped as they gave the tickets to the ticket guy. They walked through the fair Kyri was self conscious of the eyes.

"What's with all the staring? Marinette asked.

"Um I think it has to do with the fact we are walking with a teenage celebrity," Alya said, gesturing at Kyri.

Kyri realized that and the pulled the hood tighter around her face.

"Oh hey Nino! Oh Evie!"

Kyri looked up to see a boy with a boy with a red cap and head phones go stiff.

"Hey uh... Kyreena."

Kyri looked up from under her hood she saw a blond girl with glasses and a deadpan expression.

"Oh! U-um... Please just Kyri, and hi Evangelian," Kyri mumbled.

"Hey, sup Alya! I-uh- you look- Um..." Nino stuttered.

Evie jabbed him in the ribs and he yelped.

"Nice! I-I mean you look nice," he finished.

He turned to Kyri and Marinette.

"Marinette and... Kyreena right? We've met yeah! This is my friend."

"Um... Just Kyri... Whatever, just call me whatever," she said weakly giving up.

Suddenly, Evie's head shot up and she looked around. Kyri looked at her with a confused expression.

Holly rubbed her face against Kyri's leg and she zoned out until Alya called her name.

"Adrien, Marinette, Kyri, you coming?"

"Oh yeah I'm coming!"

Kyri ran after them.

°•{~}•°

"This looks like fun!" Alya squealed jumping into the cars.

Kyri put Holly into a kennel by the ticket booth of the roller coaster.

"Now, stay safe girl okay?" She murmured, pressing her head to Holly's. The dog licked her and she closed the kennel. She climbed into the car directly behind Nino and Alya and the director of the ride flipped the bar down and locked into place. Suddenly, Kyri started to rethink her decision.

"You like coasters right?" Alya wondered, turning to look at Kyri, not even bothering to check on the trembling Nino.

"Um, depends, never been on one," Kyri mumbled.

"What?! Turning 16 today, and you've never been on one?!" Alya cried.

"Well you'll love this one, three loops!"

The cars started to move and Kyri closed her eyes as they sped up, climbing a hill. She opened an eye at just the wrong time as they reached the top. It paused for a moment and she stared in horror and wonder at the view. Suddenly in lurched forward and they shoot down the hill and a scream was ripped out of Kyri as she clung on.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?" Kyri cried.

"Fun!"

Kyri screamed as the coaster veered left and right, until it jerked to a stop. Kyri hung upside down from her car.

"What's going on, why are we stopped?!" Nino squeaked.

"Relax Nino, it's part of the ride," Alya said calmly.

It jerked forward and Nino's glasses fell off.

"I think."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU THINK?!" Nino cried.

"Villains!"

Alya pointed at a mime down below.

"WHERE?!"

About 10 minutes later they still hung there. Suddenly a form flashed by and Kyri saw a woman with pink hair, A white mask, and a magicians outfit riding on a disc of pure energy. She realized what was happening and she struggled to get out of the car.

"Hahaha, your last rides gonna be a BLAST!" She cried, shooting orange sparks and hitting the coaster.

They shot forward even faster and Kyri screamed again, clinging to the bar. Suddenly she saw a giant balloon monster. Wait. WHAT IN TARNATION?!

"Bounce these fools!" The magician commanded as the balloon monster hit the faris wheel away from it's supports, sending it rolling.

At this point, the coaster car rolled of the track and Kyri's safety bar rattled lose. They shot into the air and sailed, Kyri felt herself slipping out of the car.

"Alya!" She cried, clinging to the bar, hands starting to slip.

Alya turned and gasped, grabbing for Kyri just a bit to late as she slipped away, falling through the air.

.

"Kyri!" Cried Alya, looking over the edge of the car.

"No, I'm going to die," she thought, clutching the ear cuff box to her chest, tears flying into the air from her closed. eyes.

Suddenly, something grabbed her, jerking her fall to a stop and she opened her eyes to see a blonde haired costumed girl with gray ears, A gray suit, and a fluffy tail, complete with green eyes and black sclera. Almost like a wolf. Kyri looked speechless at her, face still streaked with tears. She opened her mouth to speak

"No, you're not dead, no I'm not an angel, but yes I did save your life so... your welcome," The Wolf Girl interrupted.

Suddenly, The girl threw her towards the roof of a building, magnitizing away before the balloon monster hit them both. Kyri screamed again before hitting a metal generator with a clang, pain spiked in the back of her head, darkness overwhelmed her vision, and everything vanished.

°•{~}•°

A light flashed in front her closed eyes and Kyri opened them, shapes and colors focusing to reveal the little floating white and tan speckled kwamii. Kyri yelped, scrambling backwards in a daze, headache thundering in the back of her head

"You again... Why do you want me," she said, turning away from Esprit, crossing her arms around herself, on her knees.

Esprit flew in front of her, face stern.

"Kyreena Maddi Parker, for goodness sake will you just realize?!" She said in a scolding voice, surprising Kyri.

"Realize... What?"

"The fact that you can't keep running from your destiny," Esprit said gently, putting a little wing on Kyri's hand.

Kyri looked at the kwamii, confused.

"You chose to go out there after you accidentally activated the miraculous, when you could've just deactivated it," She pointed out.

"But what if I just freak out, like before?" She said quietly.

Esprit put a wing on her forehead and the painful memories flashed before her eyes again, and Kyri cried out in pain.

"Make peace with yourself, these are in the past, focus on what you can do, Now," Esprit murmured.

She took the wing off and Kyri gasped, opening her eyes and breathing deeply, tears in her eyes. The memories still lingered, but they were less painful than before.

"This is up to you, Kyri, to make the right decision," Esprit said, fading away.

The earcuff flickered into existence on her right ear and Kyri's hands closed into fists, eyes narrowed in determination. She started to run not stopping as she reached the edge of the roof and leapt off, shouting one thing.

"Esprit, Duskfall!"
