Extra: As Long As I Have You

You never thought you would be back in Paris so soon. You felt so glad that your parents allowed you to go on the school trip that the French class was holding. However, before you and your class could get out of the train station, the chaperones noticed how people were rushing inside to get to safety. An akuma.

"" Cecil turned to you along with the rest of your classmates. The teachers were holding all of you inside the train cart for safety.

"" You explained. ""

"" Owen grinned.

"" You felt your heart stop. Does he know about you being Phoenix? How long has he known? When did he find out? How come he never asked you about it? While you looked calm on the outside, you were having a panic attack on the inside.

"" He shrugged in response. ""

You nodded your head and turned back to see the situation. I have to get out there. Your eyes glanced around your surroundings. You know the citizens of the town know who you are, but your classmates don't. You need to keep your identity safe from them. A few Parisians noticed you amongst the crowd and before they could say anything, you signaled for them to keep quiet. Now, how to get outside.

"" Cecil grabbed you by your arm, pulling you closer to her. ""

"" You glanced down at your bag. Kwan gave you a worried look. Damn.

----

"" Cecil awed. You and your new friends were taking a walk around the town. ""

"" Simeon asked.

"" Philip shrugged.

"" Raven smirked.

""

The conversation soon vanished from your mind. You were too busy focusing on how you couldn't do anything earlier. It seemed like it was serious if Ladybug went to seek out another hero.

Ryuko.

Kwan had told you about how close she is with the kwami of the dragon miraculous. Not to mention that the previous Phoenix had fallen in love with the previous dragon miraculous holder, but when she died, he was set on getting revenge. You've worked with Rena Rouge and Carapace on some occasions. They're good people. You wonder if you would be able to work well with this Ryuko person.

"" You turned to look at your friends.

""

"" Cecil smiled at you.

"" You nodded.

"" Raven added.

"" Philip grinned.

"" Simeon lightly slapped his shoulder.

""

"" Owen turned to you.

"" You weren't feeling up to doing anything really. They continued talking, trying to convince each other to go but you weren't focusing. You had noticed how close you are to the park.

"(y/n)?" Kwan whispered.

Something was telling you to go there. You felt your heart beat faster the closer you got to the location. Could he be there? There's no way. You hadn't even told any of your friends you were coming because you wanted it to be a surprise. But what if he is there? What would you say? What would he say?

You stood at the side entrance. You were breathing heavily from running here. All the way at the other entrance, you watched a scene unfold. A scene that broke your heart for what felt like the billionth time.

Luka was holding a crying Marinette in his arms. You couldn't hear what they were saying but you noticed how he had let his bike drop to the ground. He let his fall.

Though you felt heartbroken, you couldn't find it in you to cry. You weren't sad per se. Yes, you felt like you shouldn't have bothered to get your hopes up but the way you felt was different than the other times. Maybe it's because you had finally let Luka know about your feelings. Maybe it's because you already knew you lost your chance.

That's right. We're still giving ourselves some time.

"" You heard your friends call.

"" You rushed over to them.

"" Owen raised a brow.

"" You shrugged. ""

""

""

""

"" You pulled out your phone, already in your contacts.

"" Owen nodded.

Just as you went to send a message to Grace, you got a message from your teacher. Another akuma attack. Unlike before, you actually have a chance to help. Great!

That was until the minivan that your teachers rented parked just beside you and your friends. They explained the situation and ushered you inside the car. Next thing you knew, you were on lockdown mode in your hotel room with your group. The teachers were with the security, meaning they were checking the camera and would notice if any of you went missing. Why do I have the worst luck today?

"" You heard Cecil gasp at the news. You glanced over at the screen and your eyes immediately went wide.

There, on the screen, showed Queen Wasp - now going by Miracle Queen - standing beside Hawkmoth before all of the other miraculous holders. Luka, Ayla, Nino, Kim, Max, and a girl with short dark blue hair. They're all currently hypnotized and are being forced to reveal their superhero identities. But if Hawkmoth and Miracle Queen called for all of the miraculous holders in Paris, then how come you're not being affected? Is it because I wasn't stung? Where are that blue-haired girl and Nino's miraculous? And where is Ladybug and Chat Noir? They must have gotten somewhere safe. You gripped the hem of your shirt. Luka.
