Chapter 1
As the morning sun rose, it was promising to be a peaceful day, in Paris, France.
Parisians were going about their day.
As the patrons were chattering, at local café.
Lightning crackles at street level.
(Crackle!)
The patrons glance but don't react.
Suddenly a bright ball of light appears, and a rush of lightning shoots out! Patrons scream in panic!
(Kra-Kow! Boom!)
A mysterious red streak races towards the Eiffel Tower.
As the streak stops directly underneath the structure, the figure of a person in a red suit with electricity crackling around him, kneeling down on one knee.
As he rises to his full height, The Flash consults his personal AI assistant, Gideon.
Flash: Gideon, What in the world just happened?!
Gideon (CL): "YOU ACCIDENTALLY CATAPULTED YOURSELF THROUGH THE MULTIVERSE AND ENDED UP ON AN ALTERNATE EARTH."
Flash: I realized that, but what Earth is this?
And why do I sound like a fifteen year old?!
Gideon (CL): "I'M NOT SURE. HOWEVER YOU RAN SO QUICKLY, YOU NOT ONLY TRAVELED TO ANOTHER EARTH.
BUT APPARENTLY, YOU ALSO HIT A PATCH OF STILL FORCE PARTICLES WHICH CAUSED YOU TO AGE BACKWARDS UPON ARRIVAL."
Flash: Age backwards?! Well, that explains a lot.
Gideon (CL): "I'M ALSO DETECTING TRACES OF THE STILL FORCE ON THIS EARTH.
Flash: Well, how do I get back to my normal age and get back to Earth 1?
Gideon (CL): I'M NOT SURE IT'S POSSIBLE."
Flash: (Sigh) Okay, I'll let you know if I need you Gideon.
In the meantime, maintain Chameleon mode until I can figure something out. I'll check back with you later.
Gideon (CL): "OKAY, BARRY ALLEN."
Gideon deactivates and Flash sighs.
As Flash glances around, he narrowly dodges a yoyo shooting right towards him.
(Ziiiip! Clang!)
Flash: Whoa!
He looks towards the direction the yoyo came from. And he sees a young woman in a skintight red suit and mask with black dots. Standing above the speedster on a beam of the Eiffel Tower.
Ladybug: Hold it right there!
Flash (TB): What kind of Meta-Human is this?! Hope she's not a villain.
Flash: I'm not looking for any trouble.
Ladybug leaps down to the ground and walks towards the Flash.
Ladybug: Doesn't seem like it. Judging from the screaming I heard from a Café nearby.
I'm here to make sure you can't cause any more damage.
Flash: Damage?! What damage?!
Ladybug: You nearly electrocuted some nearby civilians, and shattered some windows on your little jog through the city! Now, hand over your akumatized object, and we can end this without a fight.
Flash: Hakuna-what-
Flash: Look, I don't know what the heck you're talking about! But need I remind you, that you attacked me first?!
Ladybug: It doesn't matter, you're still an unknown, and frankly, dangerous person! You're coming with me!
Ladybug reaches out for him, but Flash grabs her arm, twists and pushes her way. Surprised by this, she turns back to him with a stern look on her face.
Ladybug: Alright, the hard way it is.
Flash (TB): "Okay, apparently she's the one looking for a fight."
Ladybug throws a punch, but Flash blocks and dodges another punch from Ladybug, as she continues her onslaught, he blocks multiple hits from her. Just as she tries to hit him again, Flash dodges and inadvertently clocks her right in the nose.
(BAAAM!)
Ladybug: AAAHHH!
She stumbles backwards as she tilts her head back holding her nose, her chest heaving.
As she lowers her head down, a drop of blood oozes from her right nostril.
Ladybug dabs her hand under her nose and looks at the red liquid dripping in her hand. As her eyes widen, Ladybug lifts her gaze furiously towards Flash, she clenches her fist and wipes her nose.
Ladybug: Alright, now you're really starting to make me mad!
Flash (TB): "Yeah, I knew that was coming."
Flash: Listen, I don't want to fight you. But if I have to, I will!
Ladybug: Fine, at least today won't be boring!
Ladybug and Flash hunker into fighting stances, their eyes locked on each other, as Ladybug whirls her yoyo around and rushes him. She tries to land a hit, but The Flash manages to dodge every single attack and lands a few good blows on Ladybug.*
Ladybug: Grr, Hold still, you turbo-charged troublemaker!
Ladybug: (Aaahhh! Oooof! Grrkk! Daahh!)*
Which only succeeds in making her even more agitated.
Ladybug lands a thudding right, then a swinging left. Flash blocks multiple haymakers, then gives Ladybug an uppercut.
Ladybug: (Huffing!) RHAAAAAH!
With a savage roar, Ladybug whirls her yoyo and charges towards The Flash, again. Time seems to slow to a near stop, as Flash sees Ladybug slowly charging at him and spinning her yoyo in slow motion.
Flash (TB): "She's tougher than she looks, for a teenager.
But somehow, I don't think she's fought anyone like me before. I just have to throw her off balance. Aha!"
He grabs the yoyo by the end and yanks on the yoyo.
Time reverts to normal speed and Ladybug is shot forward.
Ladybug: WAAAAAH!
Ladybug hits one of the legs of the Eiffel Tower, with a bang!
(BANG!)
Ladybug: Ugh!
She gets to her knees and rubs the back of her head, slightly in pain.
Ladybug: (Painful groan)
Before the red and black superheroine can react. The Flash runs around Ladybug, tying her and her yoyo, around the leg of the Eiffel Tower.
Flash: Sorry, kid. It's nothing personal. But I've got bigger fish to fry.
He runs off.
(WHOOSH!)
Ladybug: GET BACK HERE AND UNTIE ME! (Growling)
Cat Noir arrives a minute later.
Cat: Well, well. Looks like you got a bit, tied up, without me, M'lady.
Ladybug: Just untie me, Cat Noir! I've had a heck of a day as of now!
Cat: (Chuckles) I can tell.
She glares at him annoyed. He rubs the back of his head, sheepishly.
Cat: (Sheepish chuckle) Right.
Cat Noir inspects the string, as he yanks on the yoyo, it unravels from the leg of the Eiffel Tower and hits him in the face.
(Smack!)
Cat: Ouch!
Cat Noir rubs his nose in pain.
Ladybug: (Gasps) Cat Noir, you alright?
Cat: Ughh, I'm starting to think that yoyo of yours is out to get me! Every time I'm around, it just seems to target me! Just saying!
Ladybug: Nevermind, Hawk Moth must have akumatized another victim, but this wasn't like any normal akumatized villain, whoever this was, they were fast.
Cat: What do you mean fast? How fast were they?
Ladybug: Fast enough to grab my yoyo and tie me up with it in the blink of an eye.
Cat: Okay, that does seem bad. Wait, He just left you tied up? Why?
Ladybug: No idea, all he said was he had bigger fish to fry. Nevertheless, we need to tread lightly. If he could incapacitate me, who knows what else he can do?
Cat: Right. Well, I've got somewhere to be. See you for patrol this evening?
Ladybug: Okay, sure.
As Cat Noir leaves, she checks the time on her yoyo phone. Her face lights up in a panic.
Ladybug: Oh, shoot! I'm going to be late for school!
She zips off at once.
