Chapter Text
People say that your life flashes before your eyes when you die. Chloe found out that that is the case, she was currently drifting in what she could only describe as nothing, pure nothing, with the company of Death. It was rather peaceful. Chloe drifted for a while, her mind wandering to what led her here. She supposed she could say that Tony Stark was responsible for putting her in this situation especially after giving her the armored arachnid suit, but then again she could just as easily say that her professor at midtown high was responsible. Seeing as he left without her on the tour because she had business in the restroom.
That tour led to a spider bite and subsequently her powers. She could also say that Jean was responsible for her being here after all his death drove her to become a vigilante. But Chloe felt that the cause of her situation at present, was Thanos. After seeing the other heroes and guardians turn to dust Thanos must have won, she only hoped that Tony Stark would be able to figure out a way to take Thanos down.
Chloe was suddenly blinded as her senses were flooded with information, sights sounds and smells suddenly assaulting her.
"Good job." Someone said, speaking in french of all things.
She looked at the people who were talking, finding them clad in what looked like spandex and leather. Each with some animal gimmick and masks concealing their identities.
Chloe smiled and held out her hand to the closer one dressed as a cat "Thank you for bringing me back," she said slowly in somewhat broken french, "Has everyone else been brought back too?"
He looked at her confused glancing at the ladybug themed heroin, "Uhh, I think. You should talk to her." He pointed to the ladybug heroin as his ring beeped, "I've gotta split bugaboo." The cat pole vaulted away before anyone had a chance to say anything else.
"Thank you." Chloe said to the ladybug heroin, extending her hand to the other.
She looked at Chloe's hand before hesitantly grabbing it and shaking it slowly. "Your welcome Chloe."
Chloe took a step back and looked at the heroin, "You know my name?" the ladybug heroin nodded slowly in response.
Chloe looked around finally registering that she wasn't on Titan, but in Paris France. "I'm on Earth." Chloe mumbled to herself causing the heroin to look at her with concern.
"Chloe are you alright?"
Chloe nodded. "Yea, just confused as to why I'm in France. Can you tell me how that happened?"
The heroin looked at Chloe blankly before flipping open a yoyo and typing into it. "Chloe what do you recall happening just prior to this conversation?"
Chloe tilted her head a little, "I died and was somehow brought back by something that you had a hand in." The heroine tapped her chin before closing the yoyo and putting it around her waist, her earrings giving off a beep, "Chloe, I've got to run but I will meet you at your hideout at 1900 tonight." The heroine threw her yoyo and swung away before Chloe could answer.
Chloe pulled out her phone and looked through the contacts for a happy and pressed dial.
"Hello, Happy Hogan. Who is calling."
"Happy, It's Chloe and I seem to be in Paris. Can you get me a ride back to New York?" Chloe was greeted with silence and had to check to see if the call had dropped.
"Look I don't know who you are but I do know that whatever is going on it's not my problem." Chloe was about to respond but she was interrupted by a dial tone.
Confused, she began walking towards the Eiffel tower. Since it would likely have at least some information that would be helpful, but before she could even cross the street she was alerted by her spider sense that someone was coming. So she moved out of the way and observed a red head tackle air before getting up and turning to her with a beaming smile.
"Chloe I'm so happy that I found you! I was worried when the Akuma grabbed you."
Chloe paused and looked at this girl coming to a sudden realization, She wasn't the Chloe that these people knew, but she was identical to her.
"I need to get home, can you take me there?" Chloe asked the girl hoping that she knew the way.
"Sure thing Chloe!'' The girl began walking very energetically with Chloe, leading her to what looked to be a Hotel Lobby before heading into an elevator to the penthouse room. "Thanks," Chloe mentally cursed not knowing this girl's name. "But I'm not feeling too well so I'm just going to go to bed."
Chloe opened the door and entered, closing it behind her, locking it and heading to the bed before falling face first into it. She needed to figure out where she was and how she got there, not to mention if she was ever going to be able to get back to her old life.
