Whether he was floating or falling was a mystery to him. All he knew was that he was suspended, mid air, in the big, white abyss of nothing. Normally, it would've been enough to faze anyone, but for some reason, it didn't show any effect on him. He seemed to know, everything, and nothing.

His consciousness back, he just stared, at the big, blank nothing, his mind surprisingly empty. He stared and stared for what felt like an eternity, when his clouded mind finally started clearing up, and all the memories resurfaced.

However only one of them stood out the most.

'Marinette'

Suddenly he was jerked to what he thought was down. The unexplainable force kept pulling at him, the sharp rush of his thoughts and the speed, putting him in a daze. The wide white was the last thing that he saw before giving in and passing out.

'Marinette'

•••

"Are you all right?"

A soft feminine voice echoed through and Adrien squinted his eyes, trying to shake off the dizziness. Clutching his head, which was throbbing horribly, he finally got up, taking in his surroundings. He tried sitting up, but a sharp pain shot through his back which caused him to gasp in surprise and slight pain.

"Here, let me help you."

A hand extended in front of him and he took it, accepting the woman's help.

"Thanks." He muttered.

"Do you need to see a doctor? You were knocked out cold. Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you uh.."

"Jenny." The blonde woman finished with a slight smile.

Adrien gasped in surprise.

'Jenny!'

She gave him a puzzled look, before continuing.

"Anyway it was no problem. But are you sure you're alright? Shouldn't you at least see a doctor? After all you were passed out on the streets here, Felix."

'That's right! Felix! I'm...Felix.'

He gave a slight smile and assured her that he'd take care. She finally left, but not before giving him one last look of bewilderment. But it was not just that. It was something else too, hidden underneath it.

•••

Adrien roamed around, unsure of where to go. The bustling streets and the city from a totally different time amazed him. He roamed through the shopping areas and finally caught onto his reflection.

A boy slightly taller that him with pale skin and light blond hair reflected back from the glass window of a store. His grey eyes stared back at Adrien with the same bewilderment and surprise that he was feeling.

"I can't believe that it actually worked!"

"I do." She whispered softly, another tear escaping her eyes.

Adrien flashed her a wide smile and watched her while she continued.

"I'm..I'm not a bad person...I never wanted to be. Not in life..not in death...but..situations forced me.."

"It hurts me even more..to cause someone else pain..but I was desperate..and in pain. I didn't think about what I was doing! I just wanted...freedom."

"I'm so sorry..I know that you can't forgive me so easily but please know that I'm truly sorry. Please, believe me.."

"We believe you" Master Fu began grimly. "But you do know that no matter how sorry you are, what you did is still wrong."

She hung her head even lower, her bangs now casting a dark shadow over her tear streaked face.

"But.."

She shifted slightly, nervous to hear what followed.

"You can make amends by helping us. Please help us save Marinette."

She looked up with a small smile and another tear escaped her. She wiped it away gently, finally giving them all a true smile.

"I will."

•••

"Well aren't you awfully enthusiastic today?"

Adrien just scoffed at the black cat kwami and rolled his eyes.

"Hey what's with the attitude kid? Did the rejection hit you that hard? He sneered.

"Rejection?" Adrien asked, pausing to look at the kwami with a puzzled expression.

"You already forgot? That rejection with the Bridge-HOLD ON YOU'RE NOT FELIX!"

Adrien hurriedly gestured the panicking kwami to keep his voice down before ducking in an alleyway. As soon as he did that, Plagg came flying out from his hiding place.

"Explain." He demanded.

"Jeez Plagg, I knew you were demanding but this is to a whole new level." Adrien began.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you, but how did you even identify that I wasn't Felix? I look just like him!"

"I sensed a difference in your auras." He replied simply, all of his carefree persona disappearing. "Your turn."

"Well..uh..it's true that I'm not Felix."

Adrien fidgeted, his nervousness and anxiety taking effect. 'How will Plagg react to this?'

"My name is Adrien Agreste and I'm from the future. I'm the successor of the black cat's miraculous."

"I don't know if you believe me or not but-"

"I believe you."

"I-what?"

"Yes. Cheesy as it might sound, but for some odd reason I feel a connection with you. And I just know that you aren't lying."

Adrien was moved by the little guy's words. And in that moment he wanted nothing more than to just hug the life out of him.

"Let me stop you right there." He said. Adrien lifted his brows questionably but Plagg only sighed. "I told you I feel a connection with you. So I can sorta sense what you're feeling. But let me tell you I'm not a fan of hugs. So don't even try."

"Aww, not even a little squeeze?"

"No!"

"Well it's not like I expected any better!" Adrien chucked lightly.

"So what are you doing here exactly?"

"Well, erm..it's kind of a long story.."

•••

"Oh look Tikki! It's close to nightfall already!" Marinette exclaimed softly, staring at the sky from the bridge over Seine.

"Bridgette are you alright?"

"Huh? I'm fine. What makes you say that?"

"You've been acting kind of weird lately. And the thing you said about not being Bridgette to Felix.."

"It's not like it's a lie."

"Bridgette?"

"Tell me Tikki, how would you react if I told you that I wasn't Bridgette?"

Tikki looked up to her holder, who was still staring out at the sky, with a glassy look in her eyes. With a start, the little kwami realised that tears were welling up in her eyes. Bridgette was tearing up.

But why?

"Wha-what do you mean?"

"Felix, I'm sure you loved her.. you love her with all your heart. I can see it clearly in your eyes. The affection that you feel for her...the care.."

"..and I'm sure she feels the same too."

"Wh-what are you talking about?"

"She should be the one on the receiving end of all this Felix. Bridgette should be here. Not me. I'm not her."

Marinette struggled to keep her voice level and not cry. But it was getting harder by the second. So..

"..so I'm sorry Felix.."

And with this, she turned on her heels and ran away.

"You didn't answer Tikki."

The voice of her holder snapped her out of her trance where she recollected the events that unfolded that evening. A tear eyed Bridgette stared down at her expectantly, awaiting an answer.

Just how was she supposed to reply?

"Maybe I can answer that for you, Marinette."

Two heads suddenly whipped in the direction of the voice, each with a different expression.

There, standing a few feet away, was a boy, with a kwami hovering not far away from him.

With each step that he took towards the duo, his smile widened and he suddenly tackled her in a hug.

"I finally found you..Marinette."

Eyes widening in shock, and confusion, she just stood frozen for a moment before realisation finally sunk in, and the long held tears of frustration, anger, confusion, sadness and so much more finally fell, releasing everything she'd held in ever since this whole mess stared.

"A..Adrien?.."
