Febuwhump day 5: That's gonna scar

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug

Time: Monarch times

Warning violence

"Akuma attack, akuma attack" Adrien's phone buzzed.

    "I just got home" Adrien sighed. The boy transformed into his superhero persona and leaped through his window.

    "Hello Ml'lady" the cat greeted.

    "Hello Kitty Cat."

    The akumatized victim had been turned into a colorful monster. They had long sharp claws, lizard-like eyes, and scales. The two heroes would begin their fight to free the civilian from Monarch's grasp.

    The teens were quite quick to free the victim. The citizen thanked the two profusely and ran off.

    "Hello heros" A menaceing voice spoke from behind them.

    "Hello" Cat Noir turned around to meet the mans eyes "Monarch."

    The villain spared no time for fancy speechs. He knew that neither had much time before they transformed back and planned to use this to his advantage.

    Now the hero's understood their time limit and tried to come up with a plan. One of them would leave while the other feed their magic companion.

    "Ml'lady you first. I'll hold him at bay."

    "You sure kitty?"

    "Yep."

    With that Ladybug made her way to the nearby alley.

    "Just you and me Monarch" Cat Noir hissed.

    With no words the two began to fight. Of course the villain attempted to get past to Ladybug but as Cat Noir said he kept him at bay.

    Monarch activated the dragon miraculous and reached for the sword. Yes he could get past him with wind dragon or he could have used voyage but decided he wanted to fight the boy instead.

    Reacting to the sword being drawled, Cat Noir snatched his poll from his back. A short fight would insue. The poll slipped through his hands as the sword hit it harshly. Right after the sword sliced into the child's chest. Screaming he grabbed his chest and fell to the ground.

    Ladybug who had only been gone for a minute rushed back to the scene. The guardian rushed to her friend, grabbing the poll on her way to deflect what would have been a killing blow to her partner.

    Adrien assessed the injury. It went from his left shoulder to just above his elbow on his right side. He attempted to put pressure on the wound. He knew how to fix injuries like this and had before except this one was much worse. It would need stitches but how could he get the help he needed without reliving his identity?

    Adrien's ring blinked, one minute remaining, possibly less. The girl grabbed her loved one as gently as she could at the time and took him to the alley she had been in. "You're gonna be okay" she tried to reassure him.

    "Yeah. Take care of Monarch, I'll be here. I'm about to transfrom anyway." Cat Noir spoke softly. Ladybug nodded and left. Tears slid down his face as he tried to remain calm. He knew one thing, that was gonna scar.

    Detransforming, Adrien pulled himself against the brick wall closest to him.

    "Kid!" Plagg yelled.

    "I'm alright" Adrien breathed. "Cloth.. find." The pain started to regenerate more as his adrenaline wore off.

    "Yeah I'm working on it." With that the kwami left, leaveing the human alone. What was he supposed to do about the wound? He placed his hands on the gash, trying to keep his blood from spilling to much. The pain scared him. He had never felt such sharp pain before.

    How did he explain to his father? The father who would never let him outside again. He would lock him up forever, never to feel like sunlight again.

    Even if he could hide the wound the pain would give him away. He could bear all the other damage done to his body over the year he'd been a hero, all the scratches and bruises, even a broken finger he claimed to have been a dumb accident. He hid all of those practically perfectly but how could he hide this? Even then the scar would betray him eventually, telling everyone who he was.

    He looked down at his hands covered in his blood. He supposed it was better than someone else's. Adrien's breathing had begun to quicken and his head was spinning. He hoped Plagg would be back soon.

    Adrien heard Ladybug call upon her lucky charm. He worried about her more than he would like to admit.

    Plagg had rushed into a nearby store, careful to avoid the fight taking place not too far away. Looking for the medical supplies he stumbled upon the cheese. Of course that would have to wait until his favorite holder was safe. Once he found the medical aisle he grabbed as much as his little self could.

    Adrien could barely stay awake now. He prayed that Ladybug or Plagg would be quick. Time passes and Plagg would come back. He slowly unwrapped the gauges and bandages and pressed them to the bloody mess that was his chest.

    Ladybug ran into the alleyway with her eyes to the ground. "Cat Noir" she stated "are you okay?" Her voice was laced with concern. The spotted hero kneeled down to her cat. She put her arms out for him to take to his wound. Shaking he pulled her hands to his chest. From there she proceeded to press her hands to the wound. Adrien winced. "Sorry." Ladybug quickly responded to him.

    "Don't-" Adrien  stuttered "apologies."

    "You need help I can't give kitty."

    "My identity. I can't"

    "I have a mask you can wear."

    "Medical history."

    Ladybug sighed "you're right...."

    There was no more time to wait. Ladybug grabbed her bug phone and called for help. She explained they can't learn of his identity and tried to figure out how to prevent them from knowing. The operator reassured her that the EMT's would do their best. After thanking the person on the phone she hung up.

    "Plagg" he pulsed "claws out."

    "What are you-"

    He pulled his body down and into her lap. He was scared and needed the comfort, the reassurance everything would be alright. Ladybug played with his soft hair as the two waited.

    Adrien knew whatever was next he would be okay. The slash would heal and one day be a scar he could be proud of. Of course it wouldn't stay that way as it would become a painful reminder of the monster who would kill a child, the monster who was his father.

This scene

I love it so much but you know what would have been really interesting, if there was a panel of who these people are now. We know the characters but like seeing there expressions as the image of them fades leaving just Raine and Lilith as is does. Also it would have been interesting to see Lilith waving and Raine giving Eda a weary thumbs up.

I think about this seen too much. I genuinely love the way it was done and how it made the viewers feel.

Febuwhump Day 8: Panic

Fandom: Star Wars

Timeline: The Bad Batch/Clone Wars

The batch looked around, it was only their second mission but it was important. They had their orders to assist the 212th on one of the middle rim planets. Still consided shinys Cody watched them closely to make sure they made it out of this hell hole alive. Of course he watched all his troops closely but he always watched shinys closer.

    Hunter had a lot on his mind. Of course there was the mission, but also the safety of his brother. As squad leader he had to keep them safe, it was his job. The planet was bright, it was bright and it was load. Sure Hunter had been born with his super senses but he'd never experienced something quite so much.

    The clone kept his calm for most of the mission. He couldn't do anything about the sensory problems now and even if he could it wasn't safe. Hunter knew he was pushing down the enviable, but right now he couldn't afford to do anything but suffer through it.

    Cody saw something was wrong with the squad leader but wasn't sure what. Maybe he just had a constantly worried face? Cody wasn't sure what was wrong but something definitely was.

    The battle was nearing its end. Cody hated it when shinys ended up on front lines. They had the training but nothing can properly prepare you for the real thing.

    The crash of a droid next to Hunter started him. "Hey! Get your head in this or your gonna die!" Cody yelled. The sargent snapped. His breathing speed up. A nearby explosion made him yelp as he sank to the muddy ground. "Hunter, gets up." Cody's voice was laced with concern. He moved beside the shiny and provided cover.

    "It's so much" Hunter spoke between gasps. "I.. I can't."

    Cody had seen this before. He knew he couldn't do much but keep the soldier from dying. "What is it?" He spoke loudly yet kindly.

    Hunter winced at the noise. The battle field was as quiet as it could be so the movement confused the commander. "What startled you?" Again he yelled.

    "Please stop yelling." Hunter spoke at a normal tone.

    "What?"

    The man drew more into himself, covering his ears. His eyes had already been glued to the ground. He moved his arms to move the blacks from around his neck in a tearing motion; the texture being too much.

    This concerned the commander more. Responding to the harsh movement Cody dropped to the ground, grabbing for Hunter's hands. "Hunter you've gotta calm down!"

    "Stop yelling... Please" he begged.

    It hit Cody. The heightened senses, that's what was causing the panic. He didn't think that would be a problem, then again he never thought of the negative effects of their mutations. "Okay, sorry." This time he whispered

    Cody pushed Hunter's hands over his ears, "keep them their."

    Hunter frantically moved his arms to one of his vibro-knifes and flung it past Cody, straight into a droid. Cody looked back at where the droid had stood for a brief second before going back to helping Hunter.

    Hunter's breathing hadn't really slowed, his legs were still tightly pulled up against his chest, and he had once again gone to tear his shirt's collar. This time blood would be drawn before Cody could do anything to stop it.

    Once more Cody moved Hunter's hands over his ears. It didn't really help with the noise but it was a start. It also kept the clone from trying to tear himself apart so Cody would take it.

    Hunter's comm buzzed, "Hunter we are at the rendezvous, where are you?" Tech asked. Silence.

    "Hey Hunter you good." Wrecker would follow. Again the brothers were met with silence.

    "Hello boys, this is Commander Cody. Hunter's alright just overwhelmed. I got him. Go ahead and meet with the others." Cody used Hunter's comm as he spoke to the men.

    "Alright." Crosshair followed.

    Cody stayed with Hunter until he was able to claim down. Once Hunter's breathing was under control the two moved from their position to a much safer one. There the commander was able to claim down the sergeant. After all was well, as well as things can be in a war zone, Cody and Hunter would return to the fight.

    The battle would be won and the batch was safe. "Hey, before you go" Cody started, following Hunter to the Marauder. "Comm me if you ever need anything okay?"

    Hunter looked into Cody's eyes and smiled, "thank you for your help today. I never expected for a battlefield to be so... much."

    "You never do."

    "Anyway thank you. We will. Comm us if you ever need somebody for a suicide mission." Hunter joked.

    "Will do." The two shook hands and off they went, returning to their prospected families. A beautiful friendship bloomed from the mud and tears on the battlefield. One that would last for quite some time.

Febuwhump Day 12: "Can you hear me?"

Fandom: Star Wars

Timeline: The Clone Wars/The Bad Batch

War zones were always loud. Explosions drowned out orders and screams. No matter what Hunter heard it all. His enhanced senses made sure if that. Even if it was Echo's job to repeat orders, Hunter found himself relaying the messages others could not hear.

    Wrecker hadn't seen Hunter when he set the explosives. The Demolitionist pushed his thumb down and set the explosives off.

    Hunter was pushed back by the pressure. He fell to the ground. Echo had seen what happened and rushed to his brother's side. He dropped to his his knees beside him. "Hunter, you okay?" There was no answer. "Hunter?" Echo yelled. Now he was panicking. "Hunter can you hear me?" Fear struck into his heart as he gently removed the mans helmet. Franticly the cyborg removed his glove and checked for a pulse. It was there.

    Hunter's head was spinning. He snapped back to reality when Echo removed his helmet Echo's mouth moved but no words came out. Come to think of it the world was quite, to quite.

    "We gotta go! Can you move?" Hunter looked confused. "Can you hear me? We gotta go!" Hunter shifted and carefully sat up.

    With Echo helping him Hunter stood. Neither had noted the blood trickling from the man's ears. Wrecker however saw it. He put the pieces together and his heart sank. He injured his squad leader, his brother.

    Hunter and Echo moved behind a nearby rock. Only then did Echo see the blood. "Hunter, can you hear me?" With his brother's highest senses he had to right?

    Hunter stared at his brother, unaware of what he said.

    Echo drew a question mark with his scomp in the sand and pointed to his ear. The other reached up to his own ear. When he pulled it away the crimson liquid stared him. He'd seen lots of blood but never from his ear. The clones brain attempted to process what was going on.

     The reg was able to find the answer on his own.

    The shock was prominent on Hunter's face. He slowly shook his head no.

    Echo called over the medic and Hunter would be checked out. The medic didn't let him

    Back on the Marauder Tech would give Hunter a more thorough check up. Other than large bruises from the fall he was fine. The man would be very sore. Then there was his ears.

    "He's lost his hearing. No worries as it would be temporary." Tech found no point in telling Hunter as he wouldn't hear him, so he just told the rest of his brothers.

    "Should be?" Wrecker stood nervously. He caused Hunter to lose his hearing in the first place. The clone wasn't sure what he'd do if it was permanent.

    Echo grabbed a pen and a sheet of paper. 'Tech said you should be able to hear again.' he scribbled.

    Hunter nodded. Even when he could hear his volume control was out of sorts. Wrecker snatched the pen and quickly wrote his apology. Hunter smiled softly and spoke, "it's okay, you didn't mean to."

    Wrecker gave him a soft hug. The five began doing there own things until. They were back on Kamino.

    Around a day and a half into Hunter's hearing loss he stared to notice just how peaceful the quiet could be. The man never knew a life without his hearing. It was arguably his most valuable trait. After so long of hearing everything, hearing nothing was a change. It was calming. There were no over hearing death threats; often targeted towards him and his brother's, no suicide plans, no dirty conversations, and no classified information he was unknowingly interested him with.

    The batch walked to the mess hall. They greeted Hunter who had left a little earlier than he normally would. Afterwards the others would go to join their 'brothers' in line.

    A reg walked behind Hunter and started to talk. His rant went on until he noticed that Hunter wasn't paying a bit of attention to him. He had no idea the reg was even there to begin with.

    Roughly, the reg slammed his hand into Hunter's back. Annoyed he tried around. "Can you not hear me idiot." The reg just about yelled. "Or do you know that I'm right about you and your pathetic little squad?"

    Hunter just sort of stared, unsure of how to handle the situation. If he knew what the clone was saying he could at least answer but now he had no real way to verbally defend himself.

    Echo would enter the situation, informing the reg that Hunter indeed could not hear him. Once the reg finally backed off the brothers enjoyed their lunch.

    A few days later Hunter began hearing his brother's voices faintly. He was glad to have his hearing back but part of him would miss the silence. Even if most all the clones sounded the same he was able to pick out his brothers.

    Echo walked up to Hunter and asked if he could be heard. For the first time in a week he'd answer with "faintly". Everything would go back to normal soon.

Febuwhump Day 6: Secrets Revealed

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug

Lila had her way of finding out everything she needed against her enemies. Today she was after Adrien Agrest. She had already infiltrated the family, becoming an ally of Gabriel Agrest. She had asked to meet the man so she could discuss an idea for a photoshoot. She was there for dirt she could dig up on the mans child.

    Natalie walked up to where she sat on the stairs. "Have you seen Adrien?" She asked. Whatever she had to talk to him about, it was important.

    "Oh, I think I saw him in the kitchen." She responded. This was perfect. All she had to do now was eastdrop.

    Natalie thanked her and walked towards the kitchen. Lila followed with her phone ready to record any evidence she may need.

    "Oh hi Natalie" Adrien greeted the women he saw as a mother figure in his life. After all she raised him more then his own father now.

    "Hello Adrien." She looked worried as she sat down. "I'v been debating tell you something and I think you have the right to know. You can't tell your father I told you okay?"

    "Of course. What's wrong?" Adrien's anxiety rose.

    "You are a sentimoster."

    "What?" His heart sank "but that can't be possible.

    Lila smiled. Perfect.

    Natalie dug around in her pocket and pulled out a silver ring. "Here." Adrien held out his hand and Natalie gently rested the ring in his palm.

    Natalie began to explain that Gabriel and Emily had made a deal with the man known now as Monarch. He had been in costume so they had no idea who the villain was. Of course this was a lie but for all the hate she had for the boy's father she couldn't tell anyone who he was.

    Adrien wanted to scream. Him, a sentimoster? That seemed impossible right. The more he thought about it the more sense it made. That's why he could never say no to his father. He was controlled by him.

    Adrien looked at Natalie. Meeting her eyes as he spoke "okay. I understand." Adrien stood up and left the food he had grabbed untouched. Natalie called after him as he left but he just kept walking.

    Lila moved from the door before quickly making her way to the stairs she had been sitting on previously. "Is something wrong Adrien?"

    "Yeah." The blonde walked pasted Lila and up to his room.

    The snake listined to the video she took. Afterwards she posted it and a brief description of how she got the video. The comments were filled with people calling him a monster.

    Adrien told his magic companion. Plagg assured him he was still the same Adrien he always had been. Adrien smiled and explained how he could understand that and that he wasn't a monster despite the name of his... species?

    "I think I'm gonna sleep off the shock. I'll be fine tomorrow. Get me up if you need anything."

    "Gotta."

    With that Adrien went to bed.

    The next morning was the day his life changed from being loved by all to being feared and hated. He woke up to his alarm blaring as normal. He completed his morning routine and walked out the door before Gabriel or Natalie could talk to him. The bodyguard hadn't heard anything.

    The child felt no need to check his phone. No one really texts him other than Nino who will show the memes he sent to Adrien at school anyway.

    Walking into the school Adrien felt the air be sucked out of the room. As he walked he felt all eyes on him. The stars pierced his heart. He walked to greet Ivin and Maylin but as he got closer they ran off. Adrien began to worry.

    No one dared to talk to him, no one dared to even be close to him. Adrien felt the hate in everyone's hearts. Had there been an akuma attack that had everyone acting like this?

    He turned to walk into his homeroom class. All eyes went to him the moment he stepped foot in the room. Sharp glances of distrust made his heart sink. He quickly walked to his seat in which Nino shifted further away.

    Kim walked down to Adrien's desk and slammed his hands on the wood. "Why are you here?" He snarled.

    "What?" Adrien looked at Kim confused.

    "Don't act dumb" Nino started "what does Monarch want with us?"

    "Monarch? I don't understand." Adrien looked over to his best friend then back to Kim.

     "We don't need a monster here!"

    Kim's words hurt Adrien more than any injury he had ever received at the hands of an akuma victim.

    "Where did you get that idea?" The hero wasn't sure how they had found out or even if that was what they were responding to.

    Most of the class just watched as the two boys spoke to their classmate unsure of what they would tell him themselves.

    "Guys i'v been trying to tell you he's not dangerous! Leave him alone!" Marinette tried to reason with her class.

    "Dangerous? Why would I be dangerous?" Adrien started to get defensive. "I don't understand."

    "Lila warned us about you being a sentimoster! I can't believe I grew up with a monster!" Chloe shrieked.

    "I.." Adrien tried to explain. Of course he would never hurt them, he has protected them and worked along side of few of them. He could't explain that he actually fought against Monarch. "I would never hurt you!" The boy spit out franticly.

    "Why should we believe you?" Max asked curiously. "Sentimosters have attacked Paris over and over again." Most of the class muttered in agreement.

    "If he wanted to hurt you don't you think he would have done it already?" Marinette stood from her chair, "Adrien's the same Adrien he always has been. He's kind and gentle, always trying to help and protect us!"

    Rose stood, "I think your right!" The girls voice brought the 'monster' comfort. He hoped the rest of the class would slowly come to the same conclusion and would eventually trust him again.

    Adrien had rested him arm on his desk. He didn't think anything of it for he was not used to having his life on his hand. The ring rested on the opposite hand of his miraculous as not destroy it when activating Cataclysm. Chloe gestured to Kim to grab it and so he did.

    Kim hastily grabbed Adrien's wrist and pulled the ring from his middle finger. He held it as if to threaten the other.

    Adrien turned to Kim terrified. How could he forget? That ring was his life and now, just as it always had been, was in the hands of someone else. It seemed no matter what he did his life just couldn't be his own. Kim positioned the ring between his hands ready to break it.

    "Please" Adrien said shaking. "I'm not going to hurt anyone. I've never even wanted to. I can't help that I'm a sentimoster, it's just how I was made. I beg of you please don't." Tears began to well in his green eyes. Kim hesitated. Adrien seemed genuinely scared and if he spoke the truth, he didn't deserve to die. The more the teen thought the more he understood Adrian wouldn't hurt them. He had always been there for him right? So why would that change just because his soul was in a ring?

    Alya had been holding Marinette in her set. Though Alya wasn't sure how she felt on Adrien anymore she knew nothing would change how her best friend felt for the blonde. She thought she was protecting her when in reality she was hurting her.

    Lila walked down the stairs to where Kim stood. "If you can't I will. It's for the best. He's been deceiving us. I know it hurts but we have to for our safety, for everyone's safety."

    "Isn't that murder?" Asked Nathanl.

    "He's a monster" Chloe began, "he deserves this."

    Deserved this? The words broke Adrien. All he ever tried to do was help, to keep them safe. If the girl he grew up with, the people he spent most of his time with though he was a monster maybe he was. The tears fell from his eyes.

    This shocked the class. "Maybe you're right" he sobbed "I can't help what I am, I don't want to be a monster." He inhaled sharpy trying to get air in and out of his lungs, "if you think it's for the best then"

    Marinette interrupted him. "No!"

    The show of emotion from Adrian woke the class up. Sure he was a sentimoster but he was also a living being who deserved better then what he had.

    "Here." Kim took the ring into one hand and gently placed it in the owner's hand. Adrien snatched it, putting it on his left middle finger. "I think we owe you an apology."

    "Yeah. I should know better than anyone that you aren't dangerous, you're my best friend. Well if you'll still let me be." Nino held out a hand. Adrien flinched then attempted to relax. Alya finally let go of Marinette.

    Maylin had walked down to Adrien's seat to help calm him down. She talked him through breathing exercises and soon he stopped crying.

    The class apologized and asked for his forgiveness. Adrien who was forgiving to a fault convinced them it was okay and that he understood.

    After the class Adrien checked his phone. Thousands of private messages on social media flooded his phone. Most consisted of death threats or cursed him out. He knew one thing, his life would be very different from now on. At least he could escape as Cat Noir. Plus his friends stood behind him so he knew he'd be okay, eventually.
