A/N: Not me dancing and singing to Shakira's song rn 😝

"Welcome to my secret lair. I may be a superhero, but I'm always happy to share my thrilling life with all my fans. Like today, my dear friend Ladybug showed up to ask me for advice."

Gwen can only stare at the school's screen in amusement. Chloé, in particular, had made an interview with herself as Queen Bee and Ladybug, showing it to the class. 

"I admire Queen Bee so much," Chloé smiled, dressed as Ladybug. "She showed me what being a superhero is all about and always fixes the messes Chatnoir, Ghost-Spider, and I get ourselves into."

"Oh, please. You would do the same for me," Chloé waved her hand in flattery as she was dressed as Queen Bee. 

"Come on! Like you would ever cause a mess."

"You're right," Queen Bee laughed as Ladybug laughed with her. 

"That's not Ladybug, that's you Chloé!" Ivan shouted as Chloé was brought out of her daze from watching the screen as the class laughed.

"Of course that's the real Ladybug!" Chloé shouted back as Marinette facepalmed. 

"But Chloé," Miss Bustier interrupted. "Could you tell me why you chose to do an assignment about yourself–Uh, I mean, about Queen Bee?"

"Well, our assignment was to choose an important person in French History and I actually saved France. Even Ladybug says so," Chloé smiled as she put play on the video while she mimicked. 

"Queen Bee really makes us stronger! She truly is inspir-aculous!"

"Chloé, it's so obvious that's you dressed up as Ladybug. You didn't even bother to match her hair color," Alya groaned. 

"Uh...she just, dyed her hair blonde to look like me," Chloé turned away but grew irritated as the class laughed harder. "Ugh! You're all bunch of losers! Except you Adrikins. None of you deserve to see the rest of my documentary," Chloé huffed as she sat on her seat. 

"Oh, what a shame," Marinette rolled her eyes but froze as everyone laughed and covered her mouth. 

Chloé gasped but fumed as she turned around to see Sabrina laughing too and gave her a pointed look, making her stop. "I saw you laughing with the other idiots. You're fired!"

Sabrine cried as she puts her head on her desk, "I betrayed my best friend!"

"How could you not laugh, Sabrina?!" Alya spoke up. "The whole superhero stitch has totally gone to her head!" Alya took out her phone and connected her screen to the school's screen showing the incident with the train. 

"You're the one who paralyzed the metro driver, aren't you?! You used your power to create this situation!" Ladybug shouted at Queen Bee.  

"She wasn't the hero! It was Chatnoir, Ghost-Spider, and Ladybug!" Alya turned to Chloé. 

"She had superpowers for like five minutes and went totally outta control!" Alix exclaimed. 

"We might not 'deserve' to see your documentary, but you don't deserve to be called a superhero!" Marinette spoke up too. 

"What?!" Chloé slammed her fist on her desk. "You will pay for your insulting remarks, Dupain-Cheng!"

"Calm down now, students!" Miss Bustier interrupted but it didn't relieve Chloé's fury as she stepped out of the room. "Chloé, class isn't over."

"You're all ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!" Chloé stormed off. 

Gwen stood up and grabbed her things. Miss Bustier took notice and stepped in front of her. "Class isn't over, Gwen."

"I know. But someone has to go check on her," Gwen moved away from the teacher and walked to the door. 

"How can you tolerate her, Gwen?! She's the worst!" Alix exclaimed. 

Gwen ignored their exclaims and followed after Chloé. She looked around the court but couldn't find her anywhere. She took out her phone and called her but it went straight to voicemail. She sighed as she walked back to class. 

If only people can understand Chloé is not that bad. She gets defensive, sure. She can be insulting to everyone, getting people into trouble, but she's not that bad. 

Gwen walked back into the class and went on with her day. She shook her head as Adrien glanced at her and just hoped the girl is alright. 

🕸🕷🕸

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife," André smiled as the couple in front of them gazed at each other lovingly. 

It was a beautiful moment for the couple if it wasn't for the door bursting open to reveal Chloé and Audrey. 

"Oh, good. You're married. Now get out!" Chloé shoved everyone out of the office and stomped over to André. 

"What in the world is going on, my sweetie pie?" André nervously looked at them. He flinched back as Audrey slammed her hand on the table. 

"I demand that you close the school down for good!" Audrey exclaimed. 

"And I want you to banish Marinette Dupain-Cheng from Paris!" Chloé demanded as Audrey hugged her. "That monster hurt your little girl's feelings."

"She got the whole class to gang up on me. They all have to pay," Chloé frowned. 

"But I just can't!" André's eyes widened in disbelief. "I mean, I could close the school for a few days, a week at most."

"Not good enough!" Audrey slammed her hand on the table again. 

"Shut it down forever!" Chloé demanded as she too slammed her hand on the table, making André fall back on the ground. 

"But that's impossible! I love you, Chloé, but you're asking too much of me this time. I'm only the mayor!"

"Precisely! What's the use of this stupid sash you're wearing if you can't actually use power? This is ridiculous!"

"Utterly ridiculous!" Chloé and Audrey crossed their arms. 

"You've always been too good for your classmates. Maybe you should switch schools?" André nervously suggested. 

Chloé loudly groaned as Audrey narrowed her eyes at him. "Change schools?! Ugh! Forget it! We need to change cities, that's what. We'll go to New York!" Audrey grabbed Chloé's hand and walked back to the hotel to their rooms to pack. 

"But wait!" André immediately ran after them. It took him a while but was able to catch up to them but was too late as Chloé already started sending her suitcases. 

"Don't forget my Tourbillon stilettos, Jean-Marc," Chloé turned to Jean briefly.

"Of course, Miss," the man nodded as he put things together. 

André rushed over to his family. "I can't be mayor of Paris if we're living in New York. It's too far! Why don't we go and live closer in Versailles, instead?"

"Well, it won't make the slightest bit of difference since you're so powerless, anyway!" Chloé rolled her eyes. 

"Not only are you incapable of solving a simple problem for your own daughter, but you're also refusing to come with us?"

"No! Not at all! I, uh, Ah! Look at this, my sweetie," André took out a box from his pocket and showed it to Chloé. As the box opened, a golden light shined on her, making her squint at the object inside. "It's for you."

"What is it? It's tiny," Chloé asked. 

"Yes, but very expensive! It's a diamond-encrusted phone case. Are you sure you don't want to stay after all?" he tried but Chloé slapped it away. 

"I don't want that thing! What kind of daddy are you if you can't even give me what I want?!" Chloé stormed off as Audrey followed her. 

André fell to the floor and catch the box, looking up at his family in despair. "But...what more can I do?"

André composed himself and ran off to try one more. But his heart sped up in anguish as Audrey and Chloé already left in their helicopter. "No!"

🕸🕷🕸

Gwen was sitting on top of the roof of the school, eating her sandwiches when her senses flared. She frowned and turned to her side to see a helicopter hovering over the school. The students gathered around the court, spotting Chloé throwing out fliers at them. 

"Hey there, losers! I'm headed to New York with my mom. I'm leaving you all behind in your pathetic little school and your pathetic little city! Adieu!" Chloé laughed as she and the helicopter left. 

Gwen frowned and sneakily webbed one of the fliers to her hand, seeing a photoshopped picture of Chloé wearing a hat with an American flag in front of the Statue of Liberty. 

"Oh, Chloé," Gwen frowned but she frowned further as everyone inside the school threw confetti in the air as they celebrated the girl's departure. Even the teachers and principal celebrated.

Gwen jumped down from behind the school and started walking inside just to witness Adrien entering the school and meeting with Marinette. 

"Hey, what's going on here? What are we celebrating?" Adrien asked. 

"Chloé's gone! She's moving to New York!" Marinette grinned. 

"Chloé left? For good?" Adrien frowned. 

"Yeah! Isn't it great?" Marinette turned to him and frowned as Adrien didn't seem at all excited about the news. 

"Uh, no. I think it's terrible!" Adrien frowned. "How can you celebrate a thing like that?"

"But, Chloé's a total brat to everyone. She was useless anyway," Marinette frowned. 

Adrien shook his head. "Nobody's useless, not even Chloé. When I was little and wasn't allowed out, she was the only friend I had."

"Oh–well, shoot," she cursed. 

"She left angry and unhappy. I can't celebrate that," Adrien shook his head and walked off. Marinette hesitated to call out to him but chose against it. 

She took notice of Adrien walking towards Gwen who was silently sitting on the steps and frowned. Gwen must be upset too. She was sometimes around Chloé and considered her a friend...sort of.

She sighed as she didn't feel like celebrating after making Adrien feel bad. 

🕸🕷🕸

"How are you feeling?" Gwen asked as Adrien sat next to her and frowned at the ground. 

"How can people celebrate like this?" he asked. 

Gwen shook her head, leaning back on the steps. "Not many people agree that someone is a good person as they've seen their bad sides. I couldn't do much to help her," Gwen frowned as she hugged her legs. She sighed as she leaned her chin on her knees. 

Adrien sighed, leaning his head against hers as she welcomed his warmth. If only she tried harder to defend her and be by her side. Chloé didn't deserve that and she understands that people are happy about her leaving but she couldn't help but not feel the same. 

Gwen spotted Nino setting up his DJ station and playing music while everyone danced to the tune. Gwen sighed, looking up at the sky but frowned as her senses flared. 

Adrien took notice and sat up. "Is something wrong?"

"Something's coming," she frowned. She stiffened as a helicopter flew over the school. Someone stood on it and powered up a large globe of light. 

"By the power vested in me, I declare this school a demolition site!" The globe was thrown down and hit everyone on the court. 

Gwen's and Adrien's eyes widened as the globe made an effect on everyone as they all started damaging the school property. Gwen turned to Adrien and grabbed his wrist, dragging him to hide. She ran over to a closet and shoved him inside.

"Stay here, I'll deal with this," Gwen sterned. 

"Be careful," he stated as she ran off to change into her costume. "She won't be doing this alone," Adrien nodded to Plagg and transformed. 

🕸🕷🕸

Ghost jumped and landed on top of the helicopter's rotors in a crouch. 

"Where is that Marinette?" Malediktator looked around. 

"Hey, you! Do you have a demolition permit for this school?" Chat smirked as he jumped down next to her. 

"I don't need a permit. I am Malediktator, the all-powerful super mayor of Paris, and this is my city!"

"Paris is our city!" Ladybug stood next to Ghost. "It belongs to everyone!"

Ladybug and Chat jumped to Malediktator and gave their best shot at giving some blows but the villain was large and wasn't at all affected by it. Ghost, on the other hand, opened the helicopter door only to be met with a punch to her nose. 

Ghost fell back, landing on a crouch. She looked up to see Audrey smiling at her. "Sorry, dear. Do you need help?"

"Huh?" Ghost's eye twitched and moved away as Malediktator threw down a bench where she once sat. She looked inside the helicopter and grew worried as she couldn't find Chloé inside. 

"Where's Chloé?!" Ghost demanded as she threw a punch at Malediktator, causing him to fly back and fall. 

Malediktator gritted his teeth and lifted his pointy and middle fingers from both hands as he started his command. "By the power vested in me, I declare that your miraculous are my property!" 

He aimed his fingers at them but Ghost was surprised to see the two orbs flying around her and aiming straight for Ladybug and Chatnoir. She grunts as she went straight for Malediktator and does not give him a chance to attack her. 

"It's time we impeach him and declare him powerless!" Chat exclaimed as he dodged the orb. 

"The akuma has to be in his sash," Ladybug nodded as she dodged. They jumped away while Ghost kept fighting Malediktator and landed on the roof. Ladybug used her Luckycharm and frowned as an abacus landed on her hands. 

"While you figure that out, I'll help Ghosty," Chat nodded and jumped down. Ladybug's eyes widened and called out to him but it was no use. She looked down at the abacus and finally realized what has to be done. 

"Chat!–" her eyes widened as Maledikator threw an orb at Chat. 

"By the power vested in me, I declare that you are a cat!" But that's not what worried her. Ghost threw herself in front of Chat as she took the hit. 

Chat's eyes widened in horror, grabbing Ghost before she hit the ground. "Ghost!" he shouted but was horrified as Ghost purred and snuggled to his chest. 

"What have they done to you?!" he paled as he shook her violently. He winced as Ghost slapped his face and hissed at him. 

"Oh! What a cutie pie!" Audrey squealed and cooed at her to come to her. Ghost looked at her and huffed, turning away and snuggling to Chat. 

He visibly blushed and held her as she bit his arm. "Ow! Hey! Let go!"

She hissed at him and slapped him again before snuggling. "You're confusing!"

"Chatnoir! Get her out of there!" Ladybug shouted from the roof. Chat went to grab her but Ghost was intrigued by a little dot being crossed on the ground as Audrey lured her to her. 

Chat cursed and went to get her back but Malediktator aimed his orbs at him, making him jump back. Malediktator smirked and walked over to Ghost, reaching for her mask but Ghost hissed at him and slapped his hand with her strength, causing him to shout out in pain. 

Ladybug smirked, "She's still stubborn." She turned to Chat, "Listen. I'll be right back. Make sure they don't do anything to her."

"Ladybug, wait!" Chat called out but Ladybug swung away. He sighed and looked back to Ghost who snuggled into Audrey. "She's going to kill me when she finds out," he sweatdropped. 

🕸🕷🕸

"Six hundred fifty," Fu murmured as he counted on his abacus. He looked up as Marinette burst through the room in a hurry. "Master Fu! A villain has transformed Ghost-Spider into a cat!"

Fu's eyes widened, "What?! What happened to Chatnoir? She's at Hawkmoth's mercy!"

"I know, but the Lucky Charm led me here!" Marinette tried. 

Fu looked down and smiled, looking up at her. "And the Lucky Charm never fails." He goes to his miracle box, placing it on the ground in front of Marinette. He opened it, revealing the jewels. 

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng, pick an ally you can trust to fight alongside you on this mission. Choose wisely, such powers are meant to serve the greater good. Once the mission is over, you'll retrieve the miraculous from them."

Marinette looked at the jewels, focusing more. She can't waste time as Chat needs her too to help Ghost. "I must choose someone who's not impressed by people in power. Who can help me trap Malediktator." Her eyes widened as she have an idea and reached for the brooch but stopped. 

"Wait, what am I thinking?" she facepalmed but Tikki smiled at her. 

"Follow your instincts, Marinette."

Marinette smiled at her and took the brooch. Fu frowned and looked at her with uncertainty, knowing who she was going for. "Are you sure you want to give it back to...her?"

"Don't worry, Master. I know how to make good use of it this time," Marinette smiled as she rushed out of the apartment. 

Fu can only sigh as Wayzz flew to his shoulder. "Let's just hope Gwen doesn't lose control again."

"She'll be fine, Master," Wayzz assured. 

Fu glanced to the next door and nodded. "Come back, Gwen."

🕸🕷🕸

"Oh, Ghosty," Chat winced as Ghost once again slapped Malediktator's hands away from her. He winced more as he could hear a crack from her slap. They were currently heading back to the hotel to find Chloé.

He flinched back as Ladybug landed next to him. "Ladybug! Just in time! Ghost has been...uh, stubborn."

Ladybug turned to Ghost and saw as Ghost purred next to Audrey. "I know what to do, but I'll need your help. I know where her lair is."

"Lair?" Chat blinked and grinned as they jumped back to the hotel to find Chloé. Chat saw as Ghost, Audrey, and Malediktator entered the hotel. 

Chat and Ladybug landed in the so-called lair on the hotel roof and looked around. They stiffened as the door was slammed open. Chloé heaved as she ran far from the door and flinched back to see the heroes again, causing her to fall. 

"Are you okay?" Ladybug asked, running to her. 

"Ladybug, finally! You're going to help me, right?" Chloé grabbed her hands. 

"I'm fine with helping you, Chloé. But first, I need you to tell me what happened. Why is your father, I mean, Malediktator so mad?"

"It's because of this super lame loser named Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She's this horrible girl in my class and she hates me," Chloé didn't hesitate to speak. 

Ladybug's eye twitched in irritation and sighed. 

"She's ganged everyone up against me and she–"

"Maybe this Marinette girl isn't entirely to blame?" Chat spoke up which made Chloé quiet. 

"Uh, okay. It wasn't totally Marinette's fault. She is really mean to me sometimes, but actually, this time, daddy got angry all by himself," Chloé looked away. 

"All by himself?" Ladybug raised her brow. 

"Yeah, because..." Chloé frowned. "There was something he couldn't do."

Ladybug thought back to school and imagined what Gwen would say in this situation and placed an assuring hand on her shoulder. "Chloé, it's me, Ladybug," she smiled. "You can trust us. You can tell us the truth."

Chloé hesitated and looked back to the heroes, seeing their assuring smiles. "I...I..." Ladybug nodded for her to go on as Chloé closed her eyes, blinking away the incoming burning tears. 

"It, it was me," she admitted defeatedly. "I hurt my daddy's feelings. Because I want to leave Paris, forever."

Chat's eyes softened. 

"Because of what happened in school?" Ladybug asked. "I'm sure Marinette probably didn't exactly mean what she said."

Chloé shook her head. "It's not just her. Actually, I don't even care about her. It's because I have no reason to be here. Nobody likes me. I have no friends. I'm...useless," Chloé cried, wiping away the tears. 

Ladybug's eyes softened. "A friend once told me 'nobody is useless', Chloé."

"It's easy for you to say that. You're Ladybug, a superhero. You serve a purpose," Chloé looked away. 

"Yes, I can fix up all the messes. You said it yourself in your documentary," Ladybug smiled. 

Chloé's eyes widened and gasped. "You saw it?!"

Ladybug nodded and Chloé groaned, facepalming. "I'm so embarrassed. That film's ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. I realize that now."

"Don't worry, Chloé. You can fix your own messes if that's what you want. You, too, can serve a purpose. But you have to want to," Ladybug nodded. 

Chloé sniffed, wiping away her tears. "I do want to."

Ladybug grinned as she helped her up. "Chloé Bourgeois, here is the bee miraculous, which grants you the power to immobilize your opponent. You will use it for the greater good," she handed the same crafted box to Chloé. 

Chloé hesitated and glanced at Chat who smiled at her and nodded for her to go for it. She grabbed the box and opened it, smiling as the yellow light shined around her and for the bee kwami to come out. 

"At your service, my queen," Pollen smiled and bowed. 

"Once the job is complete, you will return the miraculous to me. Can I trust you, Chloé?" Ladybug asked. 

Chloé smiled, clipping the brooch on her hair once again. "I won't disappoint you this time, Ladybug."

Chloé transformed and couldn't help but grin as she is wearing her costume once again. But this time to help her idol. Ladybug nodded and jumped away to find Ghost. 

Queen Bee goes to follow her but Chat stopped her. He smiled at her softly. "I'm sure you know that you're not completely alone. You have a friend, don't you?"

Queen Bee's eyes widened before softening as she looked back to her bedroom where her sleepover with Gwen has been last night. She smiled. "I do have one."

"Don't give up on her," he smiled as he jumped off with Queen Bee following. 

They jumped on the buildings and Queen Bee grinned excitedly as she jumped high. "I've always dreamed of doing this with you!" 

"We must work together as a team," Chat grinned. 

"All right, Queen Bee?" Ladybug smiled. 

"Yes, yes. Don't worry. I've been practicing since forever," she yelped as she was close to meeting the wall if it wasn't for Chat to pull her away in time. 

🕸🕷🕸

In the city hall, Officer Roger and his heavily guarded policemen stood in the front. Roger grabbed his megaphone and called out. "Mr. Mayor! I mean, Malediktator! You are surrounded! Please renounce your akuma and we'll forget this ever happened."

The policemen barged inside the city and into Malediktator's office. They blocked the entry and used large shields to block everything. They stopped as Audrey was smiling and serving tea to Malediktator while she rubbed Ghost's chin. 

"Oh! Would you like some tea?" Audrey smiled with her apron. 

"It's okay, honey. They've got more important things to do," Malediktator raised his fingers as he started his command. "By the power vested in me, I declare that you are my shield!"

The soldiers stiffened as they all stepped out and stood on the roof with Malediktator and Audrey standing on the top while Ghost was biting Malediktator's legs. 

Ladybug, Chatnoir, and Queen Bee arrived not too far from the city hall. It took them time to arrive as it was now nighttime. Chat glanced at the villain and snorts when he saw what Ghost was doing while Malediktator tried to kick her away but she would slap him which caused him to wince loudly at the pain. 

"Here's the plan," Ladybug started but Queen Bee raised her hand. "Here I am, daddy! I'm sorry I hurt your feelings the way I did. Stop all this nonsense at once!"

"My honey pie! You look so pretty in that suit!" Audrey grinned at her. 

Queen Bee shivered, "And please put mom back to normal. I can't bear to see her like this. Your powers are ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous."

Malediktator finally kicked Ghost away as he slammed his fist on his chair. "That's enough!" he growled. "Now you're going to do what I tell you to do. By the power vested in me, give me your miraculous!"

Malediktator shot three orbs at them as the three heroes dodged them. While they dodged, they jumped to the city hall and attempted to attack him, only to be expertly blocked by the policemen time after another. 

As they dodged the orb, Malediktator waved his fingers in order to control it. He yelped as Ghost once again bit his leg. "You're getting on my nerves!" he turns to the heroes only to have a better idea. 

He raised his fingers as the golden orb grew large, almost blocking the sky as it lit brightly. "By the power vested in me, I declare you all my slaves!"

The heroes stopped and gasped at what he is going to do. "That bubble is going to be a tough one to dodge," Bee worriedly glanced at the heroes. 

"He's going to take over the whole city!" Chat exclaimed. 

The three went to attack him once again, only to groan in frustration as the policemen blocked them with their shields. "We need to get past his guards," Ladybug frowned and used her Luckycharm. 

She yelped as a large gun dropped near her feet. Her eyes widened in disbelief that she would have to use a gun!

"Well, that's an effective lucky charm," Chat smiled nervously. 

Ladybug looked around, spotting Ghost playfully smacking Malediktator's leg, and smirked. She grabbed the laser light from the gun and threw the gun on the ground. "No way I'd use one of those."

"Are you sure?" Queen Bee looked at her worriedly. 

"Yeah! You just need to take the sting out," Ladybug winked and nodded to Chat. 

Ladybug turned on the laser light and lit it near Ghost. She stopped playing with Malediktator's legs and focused on the light, chasing after it. Ladybug smirked as Ghost successfully knocked over the guards. Malediktator couldn't stop her with the large orb still in the air. 

As Ghost knocked the last one out, Queen Bee jumped in and hit her stinger on Malediktator's chest. Malediktator screamed as he was paralyzed, causing the orb to disappear. 

Queen Bee grinned, grabbing the sash and throwing it to Chatnoir. Chatnoir grinned as he caught it and used his cataclysm to destroy it. Ladybug smiled as the akuma flew out of the sash. She captured it and purified it, throwing the laser light in the air and bringing everything back to normal. 

Ghost stopped crouching and looked around confused. She coughed as she stretched her fingers. 

Malediktator turned back to Mayor Bourgeois. 

Chat grinned as he tackled Ghost in a hug. She flinched and threw a punch but yelped as she fell back and off the city hall. Chat didn't waste a moment and caught her. 

Ladybug and Queen Bee jumped down and met with Chatnoir and Ghost-Spider. They both sweatdropped as Chat teased Ghost while Ghost punched his chest constantly. 

"What did I do?!" Ghost grabbed Chat's collar. 

Chat smirked, "Nothing much, kitten. You're such a good girl." 

Ghost fumed and threw a punch at him but Chat laughed, dodging her attacks. Ladybug sighed and facepalmed. "He's not going to live that down."

Queen Bee laughed nervously as Ghost managed to tackle him and slap him, making him scream in pain. Ghost sighed as she got off of him and walked over to Ladybug, not even bothering to help him up with his laughter still filling her ears. 

"So, you saved the day? That's cool," Ghost bumped shoulders with Queen Bee. 

Queen Bee grinned as Ladybug nodded. "Yep, you missed Queen Bee and our team saving Paris. For real this time."

"I understand, Ladybug. Buzz off," Queen Bee transformed back as Chloé removed the brooch and handed it to her. "Being a superhero isn't only about fixing messes."

Chloé's eyes widened as Ladybug and Chatnoir raised a fist at her. She grinned widely as she bumped her fist with theirs. She always wanted to do it!

Chloé stopped as she heard her parents arguing not far from them. She smiled as she ran over to them. "Mommy! Daddy! Come on, let's go home," she smiled as she hugged them. Her parents looked at each other as they walked back to the hotel. 

Ghost groaned as she crouched on the ground. "Sorry, guys. I bet I was pretty useless during all this."

Chat grinned, wrapping an arm around her. "Actually, kitten. You were the sole key to defeating Malediktator. Thanks for saving me back there."

"Screw you," Ghost turned away as Chat laughed at her reaction. 

🕸🕷🕸

Ghost felt bad that she didn't help much in fighting, so she decided to take the miraculous back to Fu. As she entered her apartment, she took off her suit and handed the brooch to him. 

"You guys took a big risk entrusting this miraculous to Chloé Bourgeois," Fu stated. "Do you really think she's got what it takes to be a superhero?"

Gwen smiled, "I know I do. It took me risks to be a better Gwen after being Ghost-Spider. I just know that Queen Bee will make her a better Chloé. Perhaps, better than me."

Fu smiled, "You're too noble, Gwen."

Gwen smiled, "Are you hungry? I can go for sushi right now."

Fu laughed, as he and Gwen walked out of the apartment to get something to eat. As they walked to the nearest restaurant, Fu glanced up at the girl and noticed her frowning at her hands. 

"What is on your mind, Gwen?"

She hummed as she clenched her fists. "Do you think...I can be able to control this power in me soon?"

Fu blinked, "Is there something you have in mind?"

Gwen nodded, "Chloé's family is going to be in danger because she revealed her identity. She can be in danger too. I want to be able to control the Mind stone and fast."

🕸🕷🕸

The next day, Chloé walked out to her balcony. She smiled softly as Jean was putting her secret lair away and walked over to him. "It's okay, Jean-Yves. I'll take care of it."

Jean's eyes widened and stopped what he was doing and turned to her with uncertainty. "Mademoiselle, are you sure?"

"Yes. I need to do it myself," Chloé smiled and took the chair from his hands, putting it away. 

As she put the rest of her things away, she stopped as Gwen stood in the entryway. 

"Gwen?" Chloé's eyes widened. 

Gwen smirked and grabbed the chair from her hands and dragged her to school. "Gwen!" she screamed but Gwen kept going, ignoring everyone's stares. 

She crossed some streets, finally making it to school. The girls panted as they ran nonstop but Gwen's grin never fell. 

"Is that a party?" Chloé's eyes narrowed at the people inside. 

"Yeah, it'll be fun. Come on," Gwen grabbed her hand again and dragged her inside. Chloé sighed and followed. 

"All right, I came to your stupid party. Now what?" Chloé glanced at her. 

Gwen smiled as she turned her around. "Look there. We're having a party in honor of the girl who saved Paris, Queen Bee!"

Chloé's eyes widened as the music stopped and everyone turned to her. "But! Queen Bee is me! You're–You're having a party for me?"

Gwen moved away in time as Sabrine cried and tackled Chloé in a hug. Chloé cringed back as she didn't hug her back. "Chloé! I thought I lost you!"

"Okay, no need to make a big thing of it. Ugh! Besides, you're wrinkling my clothes," Chloé looked away. 

"Sorry," Sabrina murmured but didn't let go. 

Chloé smiled before moving her back. "All right, all right. Let me go. I wanna show you the diamond phone case daddy gave me," she grinned as she took out the box and opened the lid. 

Everyone flinched back as the diamond shined brightly while Chloé wore her sunglasses. 

"Your daddy wouldn't be able to buy you one of these, would he?" she smirked. 

Gwen chuckled, shaking her head as Marinette and Adrien stepped next to her. "It was really cool of you to put this party together for Chloé," Adrien smiled at Gwen. 

"Well, she did save Paris, so. She just may be able to save herself, too. Am I right?" Marinette smiled at her. 

"Rena Rouge and Carapace helped Ladybug save Paris but nobody threw them a party," Alya rolled her eyes but Marinette laughed. 

"That's because we don't know their true identities, unlike Chloé. If she feels like she can be useful, I'm sure she'll change her attitude."

Alya gave her a pointed look which Gwen laughed. "Baby steps. Give her time."
