"So did you have a good time?" Marinette asks Chloe.

"Yeah, I did. That was more fun than I ever had with just me and Sabrina." Chloe admits.

"It's always more fun than with more people." Marinette places a hand on Chloe's shoulder and smiles.

"Marinette, come on! We're walking home together!" Alya calls. Marinette waves bye to the girls and walks out with Alya. Soon enough, Chloe's limo rolled up. She offered a ride to Sabrina, but she said that her dad was picking her up.

Chloe lays on her bed in a starfish position. She glances at her phone before sitting up and scrolling through Instagram for a while. A news alert pops up on her phone. Chloe gasps when a supervillain pops up. She gets even more worried when she notices how it was near the hotel. 

Chloe runs out to her balcony. She squints and leans over the railing trying to find the fight. A evil laugh behind her makes her turn around wide eyed. 

"I'm Pet Protector! If the mayor is going to take away what I love most, I'm going to take away what he loves most!" The villain yells and leaps down next to Chloe. 

Her breathing picks up. Chloe looks around for a way to escape. As the villain Lunges towards her, Chloe jumps to the side. She tries to stand up, but her ankle buckles. She seethes and holds it close to her.

"Ah, a slippery little one, aren't cha?" The Villain charges her again.

In a flash, Chat Noir was there, hitting the villain back. "Pet Protector, huh? Any chance you'll protect this purr-fect kitty?" He jesters to himself.

"Nows not the time for jokes, Kitty." Ladybug says as she lands next to him, another superhero behind her. "Chloe, get to safety!" 

Chloe grabs the arm of a chair and tries to hoist herself up. Pain shakes her leg as she falls on the ground. "I hurt my ankle!"

Ladybug sighs. "Viperion, get her away from here!" 

The other hero nods, and rushes to Chloe. Her helps her stand, then picks her up and tries to leap away. The villain screams and shores a power blast at them, making the hero drop Chloe. 

Chloe screams as she falls to the hard ground.

"NO!" The hero grabs his wrist and uses his power. "Second chance!"

=== 

"Viperion, get her away from here!" 

Viperion picks up Chloe and runs inside the house instead of leaping away.

The villain screams and throws a power blast, but it just hit the wall instead of the two. 

Viperion brings her to the school, and hides her in the art room. Normally there would be multiple students here, even if it was a week end, but they had gone somewhere.

"Stay safe, Chloe." Viperion says.

Chloe nods. "Thank you."

"Anytime." He says with a wink.

Chloe hangs in the art room, waiting for a super hero to come tell her it's okay to leave. In the meantime, she admired all the artwork. After a couple minutes, she got bored. She leans back in her chair and let out an audible sigh that was cut short by the door being thrown against the opposite wall, with Chat flattened against it. 

"Ow," he breaths.

Chloe flies under the table, pulling all the chairs in to block her view. There going to find me.

"What is your deal?" Chat Noir says, getting angry. 

"The mayor wants to close down my pet shelter! So I'm going to get my revenge on him through his daughter!" 

Chat tries to hit the villain, but they jump out of the way. Ladybug uses the time to tie them up in her yo-yo

"Now!"

Viperion grabs their mask and slams it to the ground. The akuma flies out and Ladybug catches it then uses her lucky charm to fix the city. 

Chloe sighs in relief and tests her ankle. She walks out from under the table. "Thank you."

The previously akumatized person looks around. "What's going on?"

Ladybug goes to explain and comfort them, but Chloe interrupts.

"You got akumatized because of my dad, Doctor. He tried to close down something you love and that's not fair. I will talk to him about it and try to get it open again."

The hero's look at each other a bit surprised. Ladybug smirks and crosses her arms, proud of how Chloe was handling everything.

"Really? Oh thank you Chloe!" The doctor hugs Chloe tightly. "Thank you so much. All those animals were in trouble and scared. I couldn't bear to see them get hurt."

"Y-You're welcome." Chloe says, surprised at the sudden contact.

The doctor gets up and runs out. "I can't wait to tell the animals!"

Ladybug helps Chloe up. "You are going to talk to your father, right?"

"Absolutely. He tends to do this. Shut things down just because they're not financially stable instead of helping."

"Good." Ladybug's eating beep a little. She smiles and give Chloe a hug. "You're doing a wonderful job of becoming a better person."

Chloe tears up and hugs Ladybug back. "Thank you for inspiring me." 

Chat Noir smiles widely, so happy about Chloe. Ladybug hold out her fist. All four kids smile and bump their fists together. 

"Pound it!"
