"Ah, I sense a broken heart," A kind voice called I looked over, it was the ice cream man, 

"Cookies and Cream for you past love, and Blueberry for hope," He said handing over the ice cream, I smiled softly as I took it. Inspecting the blue ice cream. I wonder what it would be like to come here with Annabeth, I loved her so much, I just wish she hadn't left me so quickly. We still had our whole lives ahead. I felt a soft hand touch my back and I flinched spinning around, stopping myself before I swung. She smiled sadly at me and I nodded at her, turning and walking back. I didn't need to bring down the mood, they were having so much fun. We had fun, the seven. Those days on the Argos II were amazing. I wished I could just go back. I turned down an alley, sufficiently lost now I sank to my knees and placing my head in my hands I let the tears flow some. I was a mess after she passed, only one was supposed to die

"To storm or fire, the world must fall," I whispered.

"An oath to keep with a final breath," That line was the one I was hung over the most, what oath was kept? I couldn't figure it out. I sighed and looked down at my hands, the ice cream had melted over them, causing a sticky coating. As I looked, I saw a dark butterfly fly into them.

"They have taken away your love, and yet they are allowed to love? I will give you the power to destroy them, what I ask for in return is the ladybug and cat miraculous," A voice sounded in my head, but I was too numb at the moment to notice and too tired to fight. I felt something take over my body slowly, transforming me. I looked around numbly, I watched as the sticky ice cream on my heads grows over all of my skin, splotches of blue and white and black coated my arms and legs, my clothes stayed though, so did my necklace. I checked for my SPOR tattoo, and it was still there too. I shrugged and walked out of the alley; I might as well make my way home. As I walked people whispered, I squeezed my eyes shut, the whispers were always there, but for some reason, they seemed to be louder than normal. Why did they feel like they were closing in on me? I picked up my pace. I didn't like this, my senses felt muddled, the world was twisting and molding, I stumbled a bit, catching myself I pressed a splattered hand to my temple. I saw two blurs approaching me, one red, the other black, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. It was like I was underwater. Water! Ignoring the blurs, I turned and ran toward the closest water source. I was right on the bank when the red blur got right in front of me. I stumbled again. What was going on? The black blur was next to the red one again. They were talking to each other. Why could I only hear the whispers? Why do I need to stay away from the water? What's going on?

"ANNABETH!" I called, she would know, she had to know. I called her name again, and again, but she never came.

"Ladybug and Chat Noir have her," The voice inside my head said. That didn't seem right. I stopped screaming and turned towards the blurs, how did I know that they were Ladybug and Chat Noir?

"Do you have her?" I said throwing a punch that landed directly on the black blur. He grunted as he'd tried to dodge, but failed.

"No, I suppose you don't," I said, brain still muddled. I looked around, the water, it was drawing me in. I took a step towards the water again, but again the red blur was there stopping me. I looked at her confused, trying to see through the haze.

"Its muffled, it's all muffled," I muttered looking down at my hands again, "What is this? Why am I lost? Where is she? Why can't I figure this out? She would know, I need to find her." I muttered and then turned away; I would find her. I took a couple of steps but then the red blur appeared again. She seemed to be shaking her head, speaking to me. Slowly I raised my hands to my ears, they felt sticky, something was leaking down. I looked down and stared at my hands,

"Ice cream," I muttered I followed it then I saw my tattoo again. I pressed it gently, something pushing at my mind. Some memory. Memory. Hera. Frank, Hazel. Annabeth... My hand reached for the necklace next, I figured it as the memories came flooding back to me. Then my senses cleared all at once when I remembered what had happed,

"Hawkmoth," I said, eyes snapping wide open, ears no longer filtering the noise, and my brain cleared. I stared at Ladybug and Chat Noir in front of me.

"What happened?" I asked looking around I noticed a trail, of where I'd been, it was sizzling, burning whatever it touched. I groaned and then looked over to the pair

"Sorry, but you do realize that I'm sad about losing her and if I was under his influence that showing up as a couple wouldn't help right?" I said they looked at each other startled, Ladybug started to explain but I stopped her,

"Why can't I go to the water?" I asked interrupting her.

"That's not water," She said. I turned around. Sure enough, where I thought was water there was ice cream.

"Ah," I said.

"What are you doing? Get the miraculous!" Hawkmoth said in my head. I shuttered slightly not liking someone in my head.

"Right," I said then turned back to Ladybug and Chat Noir then back at my hands,

"I would burn right through them," I said and Hawkmoth let out a strangled cry of frustration, 

"Hey, this wasn't my idea," I told him, now I know what Zeus must've felt like always having someone in his head. The muffled feeling buzzed around me, I pushed it back. "No," I said pushing it out and away, pushing him out, rejecting him. Suddenly a black butterfly flew out of me. Ladybug pounced on, then returning her lucky charm, the water turned back to normal. I walked to the water, sticking my hands in it the splotched fading and then vanishing. I turned back to them.

"Sorry about the trouble, I guess the ice cream truck wasn't such a good idea, but I did have fun," I said Chat Noir and Ladybug looked towards each other. I smiled softly and putting a hand on Chat Noir's shoulder

"Just kiss her," I whispered, walking away.
