"I have to what?"

"Be in the show, Ghost," Ladybug groaned for the fifth time.

Ghost sighed, flopping to the floor. They just finished fighting an akumatized victim and Nadja invited them to be in their show.

She's not entirely sure about this. Besides, Nadja would most likely focus more on Ladybug and Chatnoir. There's absolutely nothing to figure out about Ghost-Spider.

Besides, they'll probably want huge scoops about the heroes which she knows that the group will overreact immensely.

"I'm not sure about that. Why do you need me for? You already have Chatnoir."

Chat and Ladybug facepalmed. Over the course of these few months, the media has been getting crazy to figure out what's behind Ghost-Spider's mask. The only thing they got is that she's female and has pale skin.

Ghost didn't know where they got the pale skin from but she doesn't want the media to know more.

Another thing from the media was, where did she come from? And why so suddenly did she start working with Ladybug and Chatnoir?

"Do I have to? It's Thursday. There are always some thugs that come around at night on Thursdays," Ghost shrugged.

"At least think about it. But remember, we cannot say a thing about our identities," Ladybug explained, leaving.

Ghost sighed and looked up to see Chat still there. "What?"

He shook his head, "It would be a great opportunity to get to know one another, don't you think?"

She shrugged, "I'm not against showing my identity but I don't want to risk Hawkmoth using it against me. Who knows in the future? But today?" She groaned, not wanting to draw more attention to herself than she already did.

She stood up, "I'll see you later after my patrol."

Chat nodded and turns to leave when he stopped. "What time does your patrol start?"

Ghost glanced down at her bracer, "In three hours. I'll see you guys later."

She jumped and dived down to the city, swinging around it.

🕸🕷🕸

"Tonight, for our first edition of Face to Face, you'll have the opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to talk live with Ladybug, Chatnoir, and Ghost-Spider. Along with me, Nadja Chamack. We'll be revealing some sizzling hot information about your favorite superheroes. Don't be bemused, it's just the news."

Gwen groaned for the sixth time, shutting off the TV.

"Motion sensors indicate you are distressed...juice?"

"Not now J.A.N.E.T, it's just...The last time I was in the media, I was given death threats. What if I mess up this one? What if they ask personal questions and I would have an attack again? This is stupid," she rubbed her temple.

"I will be here if you need advice."

"Thanks, J.A.N.E.T"

She glanced at her clock and saw that it was time for patrol. She sighs and stands up. She cracked her bones on her back and jumped out of the window, punching her fists together.

🕸🕷🕸

Nadja has sent Manon with Marinette and is just sitting patiently until the heroes arrive on set. She grew nervous as Ghost-Spider will also be part of the interview.

She had seen how Ghost would avoid the media like the plague. She saves everyone and just disappears with the wind. She just hopes that this would give an insight into the new hero.

"We're on air in 10 and still no Cat in sight. You sure you have this in control, Nadja?" Arlette spoke through her earpiece.

"Yes, Arlette. I got this, as promised. Biggest audience of the year!" Nadja nervously spoke.

"Well, let's hope so if you want to keep this show prime-time in the future."

Nadja sighs, staring at the couch in front of her. She grew more nervous as the heroes have not appeared yet. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths before looking up.

She flinched in shock as Chatnoir sat in front of her playing with his tail. "Which way did you come in?"

"Secret celebrity door," Chat smiles taking a drink. "I see Ladybug and Ghosty's running behind, huh?"

"I thought you'd be arriving together," she leaned. "Is Ghost really coming?"

Chat interrupted her, leaning close to her. "Wanna hear a secret?"

She nods.

"I love chouquettes," he grins eating one from the plate making Nadja chuckle.

"Is that the sizzling hot information I've been promised?" Arlette spoke through her earpiece.

In a panic, Nadja turned to where Arlette was above. "No! Of course not!"

"Well, you know the rules. Prime-time, prime info. No info, no more show!"

"We're on the air in 5," the cameraman spoke.

Nadja nervously glanced at Chat who was on the phone. He hung up and turned to Nadja.

"I'm sorry, Ladybug's not picking up but Ghost is almost finishing patrolling."

🕸🕷🕸

Ghost huffs, webbing the thugs on the walls. She leaned back against the wall. Her muscles were sore as she had to keep constantly beating the ten thugs.

"What the hell are you doing today anyway? Do we have to keep going at this on Thursdays? Come on! I have to get t an interview," she huffs as she grabbed the men and dragged them to the nearest police station.

They struggled and kept cursing at the hero but she ignored them and took them.

She sighs, "Ladybug's going to kill me."

🕸🕷🕸

Seconds before the TV starts, Ladybug bursts into the set and sat next to Chat. Her eyes widened when Ghost wasn't here.

Nadja grinned seeing Ladybug and Chatnoir with her but dampened as Ghost didn't bother showing up.

"I thought you decided to stand me up, m'lady," Chat smirked.

"And let the audience down? Never. I'm sorry I'm so late, Nadja," Ladybug smiled as she contact Ghost but it went straight to voicemail.

Nadja glanced at the door and sighed, turning to the camera. "Good evening. I'm Nadja Chamack and this is Face to Face. For our first edition, I welcome the beloved guardians of Paris–Ladybug and Chatnoir."

Ladybug and Chat wave at the camera.

"Hello, thanks so much for accepting this exclusive live interview," Nadja smiled.

"Well, thank you, Nadja. We're honored to be here," Ladybug smiled.

"And hello to all my fans" Chat blew a kiss on the screen.

Nadja goes to speak but the door slams open, alerting everyone on set. Ladybug and Chat stood in a stance but deadpanned when Ghost groggily walked to the sofa.

"Hi! Hi! Sorry, for the wait," she pants and sat on the other side of Chat and leaned back on the sofa.

Nadja glanced at her bracelet and saw that the red went up to yellow as the new hero arrived.

"Where were you?" Ladybug whispered from the other side of Chat. Chat listening.

"I had patrol. I need sleep," Ghost yawned.

"W-Welcome, Ghost-Spider. Thank you for coming," Nadja chuckled.

"You're welcome," she yawned before realizing what she said and abruptly sat up and laughed, "I mean, thank you for having me."

"I'm sure thousands have turned to watch you tonight," Nadja informed.

"Don't encourage them, Nadja, or the cat won't stop purring all night," Ladybug teased.

"Don't listen to her. Bugaboo's just a spot jealous," Chat smirked at her.

Ladybug flicked his bell, "Hey, I thought we agreed no more Bugaboo calling, pussycat."

"But it's so cute," he chuckled.

Ghost snored from her seat, getting their attention. Chat bumped his elbow with hers, waking her up. "Purple!"

Nadja stared at them and saw their interaction. Especially Ladybug and Chat's flirting. She noticed the ratings were decreasing and started with the questions.

"It's obvious you three are very close," she started. "People know you but they don't really know you. We see you saving Paris but we don't know anything else about you."

"We won't keep anything from you, Nadja," Chat grinned.

"Well, we do have to keep a few secrets, including our identities of course," Ladybug smiled.

"Absolutely! How about we start with a few questions from your biggest fans?" Nadja suggested.

The three nodded, looking up at the screen as Chloé Bourgeois showed up.

"Hello, caller. State your name and your question," Nadja smiled.

"Err, seriously Nadja? Surely, no one would be the first caller but me. I'm only the most prestigious fan of Ladybug and Ghost-Spider!"

Nadja nervously chuckled, "Oh yes, of course. Hello there, Chloé Bourgeois. Daughter of the mayor of Paris–"

"And don't forget my daddy is the manager of the Grand Paris, the best luxury hotel in the entire city," Chloé boasted.

"Err, thank you for reminding us. What is your question, Chloé?"

"Oh, I don't have a question. I just wanted to say hi, since you all know, we're such very good friends, Ladybug, Chatnoir, Ghost-Spider, and I" she winked at the camera.

Nadja glanced down at her ratings and they decreased, "Uh, thank you, Chloé Bourgeois. Next caller..."

Chloé's eyes widened, "Hey, I'm not finished! Who gives you the right to–"

Nadja hung up and chose another caller, revealing Alya. "Hi there, Ladybug, Chatnoir, and Ghost-Spider. I'm Alya and I was wondering if you can grab me an interview for the Ladyblog. You know, since I have way more views than Nadja!"

Nadja's and Ghost's eyes widened hearing that.

"What do you say?" Alya asked, grinning at the screen.

"Err, yeah, sure Alya. We'd love to do that," Ladybug nervously grinned.

"Okay! First I would like to ask Ghost-Spider a few questions," Alya started making Ghost stiffen.

"After the few months of being a hero, we also heard about your part-time job? How are things in Paris?"

Ghost stiffened but later relaxed. "Yes, I go patrolling every night as not many akumas come out, giving criminals the chance to cause trouble."

"I heard about what happened to Lieutenant Rogers. What happened that night?"

Ladybug flinched.

"I apologize but the information is confidential. It's not my place to say."

"I see, research has shown that Leiutenent Rogers blames you for the accident of an elder. Is that true?"

Ghost's eye twitched, "Confidential. I cannot say. Next question."

Alya grinned and was about to ask about the leaked photo of Ghost being pale when Manon jumped onto the screen.

"I'm on TV? Mommy!"

"Manon? But, where's Marinette?" Nadja stared at the screen.

"She had to go tell her parents something," Manon grinned.

"Err, yeah, and sometimes, it can take a while," Alya nervously smiled.

"What's going on, Nadja? Is this some kind of joke? Just get more information out of Ghost, now!"

Nadya hung up on Alya and turned to the heroes again. "Uh, Ladybug, Ghost-Spider, Chatnoir."

The three turned to her attention.

"So a lot of fans think of you like a couple of superheroes. But also, and I quote-unquote, as a couple. Period."

"Huh?" Ghost blinked at why she was involved.

"What?" Ladybug asked.

"Can you confirm that you're dating here, tonight?" Nadja urged. "Perhaps a love triangle between you three?"

Ghost and Chat glanced at each other and laughed. Ghost shook her head. "I have no interest in those kinds of things. Besides what love triangle? I have no interest in Chatnoir or Ladybug."

"Yeah, my heart belongs to Ladybug only, no offense Ghost."

"None taken."

"Uh-Uh-I'm very sorry, Nadja. But we're superheroes. We're not here to answer such personal questions," Ladybug refused. "We're here to ensure all Parisians that they're safe and that it's only a matter of time before we defeat Hawkmoth, that's all."

"Fine. How do you explain these photographs then?" Nadja showed a picture of Chatnoir kissing Ghost-Spider when defeating Dark Cupid.

The three gasped but Ghost was the loudest, pointing at the screen. "What the hell?! When did this happen?!"

She picked Chat from his collar and pulled her to her face. "Explain yourself! Did you see my face?!"

Ladybug tried to get Chat down as Chat tried to explain. "I was saving you, not kissing you! Promise!"

Nadja noticed the ratings going higher and showed more photos of Ghost saving Chat countless times, Ghost hugging Chat as he hugged Ladybug, and Ghost and Chat saving Paris together.

"It's so obvious that you're both in love! It's a love triangle! Ladybug and Chatnoir being a couple and Ghost-Spider being jealous of you!"

"Huh?" Ghost blinked. "These are just a bunch of photos taken out of context!"

"We're only doing our job. We save the city every day, we're not a couple," Ladybug crossed her arms.

"But hopefully, one day..." Chat blissfully stared at her.

"Chat, not now!" Ghost and Ladybug snapped.

"Why won't you tell the truth?" Nadja urged.

"But it is the truth, Nadja," Ladybug tried.

"Come on, the audience awaits your answer."

"This interview is over," Ghost stood up and walked away. Nadja panics as Ladybug grabbed Chat too.

"Woah, what's the rush?" Chat asked.

"We have patrol too, let's go," Ladybug pulled him out of the sofa and followed Ghost.

"Hey, wait! The show is not over yet. Your fans will be disappointed if they don't get an answer," Nadja tried.

Ghost walked away but Ladybug glanced back, "If they are true fans, they'll understand."

"The Lady's right," Chat grinned before following the girls out.

🕸🕷🕸

"I'm sorry!"

"Too bad!" Ghost grabbed the last thug and carried him over her shoulder as Ladybug and Chat sweatdropped at her.

"Are you guys just going to stand there or are you going to help me?" Ghost grabbed the thug's partner.

"What if we hurt them? They're not stronger than akumas," Chat commented.

Ghost and the thugs turned to him, almost offended. "We're strong!" The thugs shouted.

Ghost shook her head, "Yeah, yeah. Let's go."

"You won't get away with that comment Rat-head!"

"Hey!" Chat exclaimed, offended by the name-calling. He turned to Ladybug who was still fuming like Ghost.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"No! Nadja was willing to do anything to make sure her show would be a success and I'm not about to answer any more of her prime questions."

"Exactly," Ghost spoke as they walked towards the police station.

"That's the price of success my ladies. The price of stardom," Chat shrugged.

"We're superheroes! Not stars! We should be doing our job, not looking like fools on TV."

Ladybug leaves and Chat sighs, glancing at Ghost who webs the criminals in front of the station.

"You're not jealous of Ladybug and me, right?" Chat winked.

"Please, I don't want to like anyone," Ghost shook the thought of a certain someone from her head. 'Never again.'

She jumped away but Chat panicked, "Wait, I wasn't planning on getting home so early! Why don't we get some ice cream! I know the purr-fect place!"

The three jumped around the city and got themselves ice cream. As they ate Ghost couldn't stop thinking back on the pictures displayed on the screen. Is that where they found out about her pale skin?

She glanced at her partners and shivered and paled at the thought.

Wait...she fought Dark Cupid before The Horrificator...which means...

Adrien wasn't her first kiss...it was Chatnoir?!

She gagged, choking on her ice cream, making her partners confusedly glance at her.

"When were you planning on telling me about the kiss?!" she flustered, turning to Chatnoir.

Chat laughs nervously, "I meant to tell you that day but you looked exhausted, and left you alone. I was going to tell you the other times but I forgot."

"Oh! So you suddenly forgot to explain why your lips touched mine?!"

"Hey! What's wrong with my lips? Just so you know, I didn't plan to kiss you either!"

"Too late for that! Thanks for letting me know!" she sassed.

"You're welcome!"

"Guys!" Ladybug shouts.

"What?!" Chat and Ghost turned to her.

They stopped when they faced a large screen in front of them.

"Welcome to a new show, hosted by me, Prime Queen," the lady smirked. "Don't be bemused, it's just the news."

The heroes' eyes widened, realizing who it is. "Nadja?"

"Tonight, Ladybug, Chatnoir, and Ghost-Spider disappointed all their loyal fans by refusing to admit their love triangle. I've prepared some trials just to see how far they're prepared to keep the truth hidden from us," Prime Queen smirked, showing Chloé from her room.

Prime Queen smirked, going through the screen to Chloé's room. Chloé whimpered.

"Hey! You're not allowed to come in here!" Chloé exclaimed as Prime Queen wrapped a cable around the girl. "Security!"

Prime Queen tugged the girl to her and smirked at the camera. "Let's welcome our very first guest, Chloé Bourgeois! Who is apparently a personal friend of our three superheroes."

"I certainly am," Chloé agreed.

Ghost sweatdropped at the girl.

"Just proved that you can't believe everything you see on TV," Ladybug groaned.

"Well then, dear Chloé, let's find out if you really can count on them as true friends," Prime Queen snapped her fingers, showing the subway station. She grabbed Chloé and went through the screen.

The people on the train ran away. Prime Queen dropped Chloé on the ground and stretched.

"Hey, watch it! You're wrinkling my clothes! Do you realize how much they cost?" Chloé exclaimed.

Prime Queen ignored her and changed the screen to the cab and entered, frightening the driver to leave.

Prime Queen smirked, driving the train at full speed and turning to the screen. "Welcome, to the subway of the suspense! If it reaches seventy miles per hour, you can say goodbye to your precious little friend."

Ghost cursed and looked at her bracer to track any abnormal speeds in the subway. Ladybug and Chat continued staring at the screen in worry.

"Well, well, look here. The ratings are rising! More and more of you want to know if our superhero friends will get here on time. The suspense is killing her!" Prime Queen laughed. "Ladybug! Chatnoir! Ghost-Spider! Are you willing to travel through the screen to save your darling Chloé?"

"Ladybug, Chatnoir, Ghost-Spider! I beg you, save my jacket!" Chloé shouts as a noticeable gum is stuck on her sweater.

Chat extended his baton to the screen in front of them and the baton went through. He turned to the girls. "Ready to take a leap?"

"What if it's a trap? I think I'd rather get there on my own means," Ladybug seemed unsure.

"There are many, many subway lines in Paris, which means hundred and forty miles of rails. If we want to get there in time to save Chloé, I don't think we have a choice," Chat deadpanned.

"Huh, just admit you love being on TV," Ladybug smirked.

"I don't get stage fright, Bugaboo," Chat grinned before turning to Ghost who nodded.

"I can try to stop the train while I'm at it," she walked backward and ran straight through the screen.

The others screamed as they entered too.

🕸🕷🕸

They entered and stood in a stance. They blinked owlishly when Chloé was in front of them.

"Ugh, finally, what took you so long? Hurry up and get me out of this underground nightmare!" Chloé exclaims before falling at the turbulence.

Prime Queen showed from the train screen laughing. "You're about to be stars of the highest-rated show in all of TV history!"

Prime Queen showed her watch which gave Ladybug the idea. "The akuma must be in that watch! I'll deal with Prime Queen."

"I'll deal with the door," Chat nodded."

"I'll deal with the train," Ghost punched the exit door, shattering it before climbing to the top and crawling to the front.

Ghost huffs as she crawled faster to the front. She spotted Prime Queen speaking from the inside and connected her mask to the microphone inside to hear them.

"You got this, Ghost. 87% chance you'll be shred to pieces but what else can you do?"

She jumped down and pushed down the train tracks and started webbing the walls in order to forcefully stop the train.

"The rules for my show are simple, admit the truth live on TV that you are a love triangle and I'll stop the train from crushing Ghost-Spider!" Prime Queen spoke from inside.

"A superhero never lies! We won't admit to something that's not true," Ladybug exclaimed.

"I want scoop!" Prime Queen shouted before turning to Ghost's attention. She smirked as Hawkmoth spoke to her.

"She doesn't have a miraculous. Take off her mask while her hands are occupied!"

Prime Queen smirked and turned to the camera. "Look at this folks! If we don't get anything out of Ladybug and Chatnoir, why don't we ask some questions to our favorite hero Ghost-Spider!"

"Ghost-Spider!" Prime Queen shouts as Ghost grips the webs tightly, gritting her teeth.

"I have been informed you do not have a miraculous! You're just a regular little girl and yet you're risking your life to stop this train! Why is that?!"

Ladybug and Chat stopped hearing Prime Queen's words and paled seeing the train being crushed from the sides by the webbing and the pressure.

"Ghost! Whatever you do, do not respond!" Ladybug exclaimed to the window for the hero to hear.

"NOT PLANNING ON IT!" Ghost screamed in pain as her suit started to tear from her arms.

"Would you look at that! She is pale! Let's see what is behind that mask, shall we?" Prime Queen reached over to the girl but she dodged her hands and kept webbing and gripping tightly.

The pain is becoming unbearable in her feet, hands, and arms.

"ARGH!" Ghost's wrist bled from the excess of webbing coming out of her wrists.

Ladybug panicked and grabbed Chat's hand. "Okay, Prime Queen! You win! I confess. Chatnoir and I are dating like you said. Ghost-Spider is jealous of us..."

"NOT HELPING!" Ghost screamed from the front.

Ladybug continued, "We are...in love."

Prime Queen smirked, "Our two heroic lovebirds are saving their fan's and comrade's life by admitting their true feelings. Our viewers are going crazy! But, our TV ratings haven't maxed out yet. You must do better or Ghost goes bye-bye!"

Ladybug glanced at the webbings from the window and gasped as the webs turned red as they sped. What can she do?!

"Then come and join us, Prime Queen. You're the host and the star of the show after all. Then you'll have your ratings," Chat grinned, worriedly glancing at Ghost.

"My show, my rules, Chatnoir! To prove that your feelings are genuine, you're going to have to take off your masks, which means you must both give me your Miraculous!"

"Not a chance, Prime Queen!" Ladybug shouts. "Hold on, Ghost!"

"PLANNING ON IT! AARGH!"

"Wait, I know how we can prove our feelings," Chat smirked and leaned to Ladybug for a kiss.

"Not a chance, kitty," she deadpanned.

Prime Queen looked at them in disappointment and gasps as the train is finally been put to an abrupt stop. She tried to make the train work again but the control panel didn't work anymore.

Ghost's hand punched through the window, frightening Prime Queen. Ghost gasps for air and smirks. "Hacking through the train, complete."

Prime Queen gritted her teeth and changed the screen and escaped.

Ghost jumped inside the train and pants, opening the door. Ladybug and Chat gasp in horror seeing Ghost on the ground, bleeding from her hands.

"Are you all right?!" Chat helped her sit up.

"My hands are numb," she coughed, putting pressure on her wrists.

Ladybug worriedly looked around but couldn't see Prime Queen anywhere.

"Is the show over?" Chat asked.

"If we can't get to her, we'll never be able to capture her akuma!" Ladybug crouched next to Ghost and also put pressure on her wrists.

The screen above them changed, showing Prime Queen in the Louvre Museum.

"My dear viewers, you are in for the reveal of a lifetime!" she laughed, showing a tied-up Alya.

"Ladybug! Help me! Please!" Alya screams.

"Oh wait, isn't this the girl who started the famous Ladyblog? The first one who ever filmed Ladybug?" Prime Queen smirked.

Ladybug gasped, "Oh no! Alya!"

Ghost gritted her teeth in pain.

"Next trial, your Miraculous! Or else your biggest fan will be mummified!" she cackled as the screen shut off.

Chat almost slipped through the screen, giving them the chance to travel in. He glanced at Ghost who grabbed her medkit from her ankle and handed the bandages to him.

"Hurry up, so we can catch her," Ghost pants as more blood kept falling.

Chloé gasped in horror seeing so much blood. Ladybug nodded to Chat and directed Chloé far as Chat got to work.

"Will it hurt?" he asked. He never tended to someone before.

"Just do it," she snapped.

He rushed, grabbing it, and wrapping it around her wrists. She was growing annoyed and told him to do them tighter. She has to put pressure on them so she won't faint later on.

"Done."

Ghost sighs and trembled as she stood up and walked to the screen. "Let's go."

"Wait!" Chat grabbed her wrist.

"ARGH!" He immediately let go of her wrist and asked Ladybug to come over.

"You're hurt. Take care of Chloé as we handle this," Chat tried, really worried for the hero.

"I'm fine," she coughs and jumps through the screen.

The two heroes glanced at each other in worry and followed her, leaving Chloé behind on the train.

🕸🕷🕸

"We're not at the Louvre..." Chat looked around, seeing they were at the freezer in the Grand Paris Hotel.

"It was a double-cross!" Ladybug tried to open the door but it was locked.

The screen on the freezer showed Prime Queen laughing at their demise.

"Uh, Cataclysm?" Chat asked.

"There's no point! We're probably far away from the Louvre! By the time we get there, it'll be too late to save Alya!" Ladybug glanced at Ghost who is punching the door.

"Stop!" Ladybug moved her away from the door. "You'll bleed through your bandages!"

"Shit!" Ghost cursed.

"So...a kiss then?" Chat leaned close to Ladybug again.

"Still not a chance, Chatnoir," she deadpanned.

Chat sighed in disappointment.

"The time has come to push those ratings sky high! Let's try again. Remove your miraculous and reveal your true selves! The whole world is watching you!"

"There's no use looking for a way out! Unless you want to see your biggest fan in deep water," she snapped her fingers, changing the screen to the Seine.

The three gasped.

Prime Queen smirked. "Hurry up, you three. Don't wanna keep your audience waiting."

"You're right! Lucky Charm!" Ladybug summoned and a tape roll dropped onto her hands.

Ghost's eyes widened and started frantically looking through the bins on the shelf. Ladybug nodded and started looking too. Chat was just as confused.

"Hurry up, she's about to push Alya into the water!" Chat exclaims.

"One minute!"

"That's too long!"

Ghost finally found it. She grabbed the pizza box and tossed the frozen pizza at Chat as she covered the screen with the box as Ladybug taped it.

"What's happening?!" Prime Queen shouts from the other side.

"Fine, you win, Prime Queen. We'll remove or miraculouses. The whole world will see us without our masks!" Ladybug lied.

"So unlucky!" Chat encouraged.

"If you're lying, you're going to regret it," Prime Queen punched through the pizza box but Ghost grabbed her arm and pulled her in.

Ghost cracked her knuckles and fought her. She didn't pull back on her punches and was relentless. She wrapped her legs around Prime Queen and pulled her to the floor, choking her.

Chat broke Prime Queen's watch, releasing the akuma. He used his cataclysm to destroy the door.

Ladybug grinned and captured the akuma. She purified it, turning everything back to normal. Including taking Chloé and Alya back home safely.

Prime Queen turned back to Nadja.

Chat, Ladybug, and Ghost pounded their fists together in victory. "Pound it."

Ghost winced and clenched her fists. The heroes noticed and looked closer to see her wrists still bleeding. They gasped.

"How is that possible?!" Ladybug panicked.

Ghost removed her hands from them and waved at them. "I'm fine. I'll see you guys around."

She left, leaving the worried heroes behind.

🕸🕷🕸

Gwen entered her apartment and into her bathroom. She muffled her screams with a towel as she started stitching.

"FON OF A BIPCH!"

After the long excruciating hours, she was done. She pants and sits on the ground. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth.

"Shit..."

Paris knows she doesn't have a miraculous...

"FUCK!"

This just proves more that Gabriel is Hawkmoth. She just needs to find proof! But how? That man has more power than her and he can still reveal more of her to everyone, making everyone turn against her.

"Shit!" she cursed.

She took a quick shower. She cleaned her bandages and wrapped her wrist again, more softly this time, and fell asleep on her bed.

🕸🕷🕸

"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Hi, I'm Nadja Chamack, and this is Side by Side. Today, I'm joined by Alya Césaire, who created the Ladyblog! Together, we'll be looking back over Chatnoir, Ghost-Spider, and Ladybug's greatest feats."

"Hello, Nadja! Hey, fans! So, first of all, I gotta set the record straight. Chatnoir and Ghost-Spider are not a couple! Neither are Chatnoir and Ladybug! Well, not yet at least," Alya smiled at the screen.

Gwen sighs, looking down at her wrists as they are slowly healing in their own time. She glared at the screen as Alya left the set and it solely focused on Nadja.

"The question still goes on..."

"Who is Ghost-Spider?"

"Is she a hero or a threat ?"
