Work Text:
Felix was in the train to go back to London, waving goodbye to Adrien, Marinette, and blew a kiss to his girlfriend Kagami, knowing it will make her happy, even if he didn't feel the same way. When the train left, he felt relieved.
I felt your unhappiness earlier, being a hero is not who you are Argos.
Chrysalis was in his head again, using their many voices. He never told Ladybug that he was sometimes mentally harassed by the new Butterfly villain, because he could tell that even though he was "redeemed," she didn't trust him completely.
I know all about disguises and lying, but not even I do it to myself.
In his head, Chrysalis' ghostly form was too close to him, with their arm around his waist. They've never done that before.
I can be anyone you want, just let me see your badness.
That was said in a single voice, a girl's voice that sounded familiar to him.
"Get away from me! I resisted Monarch, I bested Monarch, I will do the same to you!" Felix whispered so no one else can hear him.
Gabriel was never as good as me. He hid in his hideout like a coward. I am everywhere as anyone.
"You're in no place to talk, you have never confronted Ladybug and Chat Noir in person as your true self. You hide in your cocoon, Chrysalis, you're a coward too."
Multiple voices screamed in his head.
You know nothing! I am transforming into something greater!
In their lair, Chrysalis was throwing the books around.
He was right, they were hiding because Marinette humiliated them, just like Ladybug did.
They would have to come out of the cocoon eventually and take a full-time identity, but they didn't know who they will be: Lila, Cerise, or someone else.
