Chapter Text
April was generally a calm month but this particular week there had been a strong breeze blowing and today was no exception. The wind proved to be an enemy to two certain Parisian superheroes and an ally to one supervillian’s most recent creation.
Ladybug and Chat Noir were currently missing class to fight an akuma and an annoying one at that. They had been going back and forth with this villain for nearly an hour now; it started to get boring when all of the moves had become predictable. The only reason they weren’t able to defeat Malice was because they couldn’t find the akumatized item.
“LB! He’s wearing an anklet!”
“Great thinking Chat! How come I didn’t see that sooner?”
“Paw-some aren’t I?”
“No time for jokes Kitty.”
With an eye roll and a ghost of a smile, Ladybug launched her yoyo to tug at the arm of the villain. The hero of destruction, right behind her, was ready to grab ahold of the evildoer’s anklet charm, but, like earlier mentioned, the wind was not on the side of the supers today. Just as the black clad hero had gone in for the grab, one particularly powerful puff threw him and his partner to the side. And just when they were about to jump back on their feet, a shadow cast over them. Looking up, Chat Noir saw the hovering villain throw a magic fueled ball at Ladybug.
“M’lady, watch out!” Chat shouted while launching himself at his partner. Right as the sphere was going to make contact, another hefty gust of wind blew by. A blinding gold light engulfed the duo and when the light reduced to nothingness, there was nobody there.
“Where did those two run off too!”
“Malice, do not worry about them for now. Those two will be back soon enough to protect their precious civilians,” said a voice in Malice’s head ,“for now, find a place to hide out so that you are not seen.”
“Yes, of course Hawkmoth.”
The miraculous hungry villain could not be more wrong because the two heroes would not be returning for some time due to unknown reasons.
~+x+~
Before the pair was able to see anything, they heard and felt things.
There were passing gusts of wind, like someone was running past them but at an unimaginable speed. There was yelling and chanting in another language, something about snakes and lions from what Chat heard. There was a familiar voice louder than the others (though they didn’t speak any French), commentating what was probably a sports game. Which one was the question.
“Slytherin Captain Marinette Dupain-Cheng seems to have spotted the snitch. She has left her spot in the high sky and is now making a deep dive toward the Hufflepuff section!” the voice boomed at an incredible speed, almost like a rap.
“ What name did that person say just now?” Chat thought to himself. He looked over at Ladybug but she seemed perplexed, “ She probably doesn’t know English. ”
Ladybug was looking around, not that there was much to see aside from the blinding lights. She couldn’t decipher any of the talk in the other language except when the loud voice from above had called out her civilian name. As the gold light seemed to fade from around them, Chat Noir and Ladybug started to take note of the green grass beneath them and tall stands with mix-matched colors.
“Gryffindor scores! Shot by Chaser Alya Césaire. Marry me babe! Kidding professor, kidding”
Okay, the duo had definitely heard that name loud and clear.
“Mclaggan is hot on DC’s tail. Is he following her or did he also spot the snitch? They’re approaching the middle field.”
As the last of the light had begun to fade, collective gasping could be heard from all angles. Blinking a few times, the heroes started to take in their surroundings. A large grass stadium with three hoops of varying heights on each end. The stands were also different heights with regular seats and tall towers every few metres separating sections. The mix of vibrant, yet dull colors, was dizzying. Students and teachers seemed to fill the stands leaving no empty space.
“Is that girl wearing a lion head hat with a snake sitting on top? That is one big hat.” Ladybug thought to herself as she took in the details of the field around her. The entire place was unfamiliar to both teens as they continued to look around for clues of where they may be.
Where were they!?
Before they could dwell on their whereabouts any longer, a voice filled with urgency brought them back to reality.
“WATCH OUT” a voice shouted in english as something gold zoomed past the two bewildered supers.
