A.n.- I can't say how excited I am to write this story. It literally hit me out of nowhere and within two hours this chapter was written. I have a feeling I will love Le Paon in the series ( which we will get her in season two) For those of you who haven't researched her all we know is she will be an ally to Hawk Moth and compared to her HM will look like a nice villain. I wouldn't necessary suggest reading this if you haven't gotten caught up with season two, as I'll probably include some spoilers some places. I have no idea what Le Paon will be like in the series or what her powers will be ( I'm assuming my version of her will be darker than what the show's creators are going for considering it's intended audience) so I'm basing her character off guesses off theories I have read. The only thing about her that's cannon that I'll be using is her Kwami's name, ally to HM, and she's a darker villain ( all of which have been confirmed).

Prologue:

"You may have defeated me this time Ladybug and Chat Noir," his gloved hands gripped tightly in a clenched fist. The butterflies swirling above him in the air feeding off the energy in the room, "But the day will come where I will rise up and it will be you that is in for a surprise when I capture your Miraculouses. I will destroy you." It wasn't fair, he had gotten so close to winning and the second that Ladybug used her Lucky Charm he could feel everything starting to slip away with no ability to stop it. The power that he held over his victims seemed to be deteriorating with every use. But this wouldn't deter him from his mission, he would have Chat's ring and Ladybug's earrings and hold ultimate power within his grasp. It was the only way that he would see his love again.

"You could try boring them to death with your plans, maybe they would surrender just to stop you from talking." The words made the villain freeze on the spot, he didn't recognize the voice and yet someone had made it past his security into his haven. He turned to see a woman clothed in a royal blue dress draped across the one chair that occupied the room. The slit in the fabric inched higher with the position she was sitting in, but she didn't seem to mind. There was a dark blue color that seemed to cover the mysterious purple eyes that now glared at him. On top of her head rested a hat, dark blue and pink in color paired with a small veil masking part of her face. Although impressed of the design itself, Gabriel had more pressing matters.

"How did you get in here?" If it was one thing that he prided himself on was the length of security built into this place, he was sure that no one was sitting in the chair when he entered the room. That meant that she had to slip in when he was distracted with his fight with the heroes.

"Or maybe they would just use the time it took for you to explain everything to defeat you." She pondered out loud pressing her finger to the purple hue of her cheek ignoring his question. His rage grew, it wasn't enough that some woman was able to sneak into his lair, but to disrespect him was another matter; he didn't even accept that from his family, let alone a stranger.

"I won't ask again, how did you get in here?" Each word was pointed like it was daggers rolling off his tongue. Instead she just flipped through the book resting on her lap reading its contents. She was ignoring his questions on purpose trying to get under his skin, and it was working.

"You don't know who you are dealing with," He growled letting his rage stew. Didn't she know that he could call forth a person with an akuma to destroy her, or if it came to it he would be able to defeat her in a fight.

"I know exactly who you are." She answered not once looking up from the book, he caught sight of the superheroes printed on the page. That was the breaking point, she had been in his safe in his home. This was now personal. If she had laid one finger on Adrien's head, he swore she would die the most painful death that was possible.

"I've had enough of this, Code red." The walls suddenly burst open with various weapons pointing directly at her, but she didn't even flinch. He gritted his teeth, how someone from the outside was able to find his lair was beyond his comprehension, but after he took care of the pest, it would not be a mistake that would be repeated. The raven-haired woman got up from the chair that she was lounging in and began to walk towards him despite the fire power that could instantly kill her.

"Give me one reason I shouldn't end you right now." The low growl escaped his lips hands fully clenched, either she hadn't realized that her life laid in his hands or she dared to deny the fact; either way she leaned in her mouth hovering right outside his ear.

"Because I can give you what you desire." The words caused his body to freeze, a chill shot down his spine.

"How could you possibly know what I desired?" He scoffed. It was a game between the two, the one who held up their appearance would be the winner, a silent battle for dominance. The urge to shoot her dead decreased as his curiosity grew with every word that left her lips.

"To bring back your wife," a dark chuckle escaped her throat "it's such a noble pursuit, but you have no idea what those two miraculous are truly capable of." She returned to the bookshelves that lined the wall running her fingers against the spines nonchalantly.

"Who are you?" He demanded slamming his cane on the floor gaining her attention. The Cheshire grin grew as the purple eyes looked up innocently, he was rattled which only meant she gained the upper hand.

"You can call me Le Paon, but the question you should really be asking; what can I do for you?" A deafening silence rang through the room, so she took the opportunity to continue. "Are you tired of losing, doing the same thing every time only to be defeated?"

"What do you have in mind?" She shook her head clicking her tongue.

"Put away your toys," the emphasis on the last word didn't go unnoticed making him grit his teeth. "And we can sit down and have a talk." She draped herself once more in the chair that was at her disposal.

When the security system clicked back into place, her smirk spread. He towered over her figure, but it didn't daunt her, she seemed unfazed or even unimpressed by the man that stood before her.

"I've been watching you for a long time." A single feather was released from her fan that was resting on the table next to her, her fingers began running around the edge. "After a couple years of your constant failure I decided to offer my services." How could he not have felt a presence of another miraculous user, especially if she was keeping an eye on him.

"What's in it for you? No one does anything for free." The women kicked her legs off the arms of the chair and stood, her eyes never wavering from his.

"Don't worry that pretty little head of yours, I do have a tiny request, when the time comes I'll collect." She didn't say another word on the matter of how he would be indebted, causing hesitation. What did he even know about her, besides that she could sneak her way into his highly fortified fortress?

"What makes you so confident that you will defeat Ladybug in battle?" He crossed his arms defensively against his chest; anyone could talk visions of grandeur, but to accomplish such a task she needed to have a plan and so far, she hadn't suggested of having anything of the sort.

"That's your problem Hawk Moth," disappointment dripping from her voice as her fingers barely touched the tip of her plumage in her hand causing it to blacken. "You are thinking too…short term," her smile crept up further. "To crush the pesky bug, you must attack her heart, mind and her very soul. She will succumb to the darkness, just you wait." What she was offering seemed too good to be true, turning the light dark, surely not with the presence of a guardian and her partner in her life.

"What about Chat Noir? How do you propose we deal with him?" In all the battles that were fought, Chat had grown to be just as much of a problem as Ladybug with the way they communicated and worked together. Besides to grant him the wish he would need both miraculous.

"By the time the silly kitten realizes what's happening it will be too late. Once we take out Ladybug he will crumble to his own darkness."

"And how do you propose that this is accomplished?" She hadn't given him any detail to her plan, but the idea that he could take down the thorns that had been in his sides for the longest time was tempting. If he was unaware that Le Paon resided in Paris, it was safe to guess that the superhero duo was in the dark same as him.

"Just...leave that to me, by the time I'm done with her, Ladybug will be begging to give her miraculous to us."

"How do I know that you won't take the two miraculous, only to grant the wish for yourself?" He wasn't going to sweep the topic under the rug, it wasn't the first time that his victims thought they could take the ultimate power from him.

"You don't, but you can't win without me," the air around them was chilled by the tone of her voice, "I guess we'll just have to trust each other, now won't we?" She held out a hand her eyes glowing from the fire that raged inside her. "Do we have a deal?"

"On one condition, at no point harm will come to my son, I don't want him involved in this." Maybe it was the guilt that lived in the shadows within him, but he still loved the boy to some fatherly extent.

"Agreed."

The second he reached out and the two hands connected a colored energy burst from both their miraculous wrapping around their arms before joining right above the handshake. Hawk Moth's mouth fell slightly, he had never experienced or read anything about this kind of thing happening before.

"What's happening?" The purple and blue light disappeared as quickly as it came, and he started wondering if he had just imagined it all.

"Our agreement is now bonded, now if we both keep up our end of the arrangement then everything will be fine. I trust you, think of it as a safe guard." She brushed her hand over the peacock broach resting at her neck. Gabriel was almost worried to ask what would happen if it was broken, but instead he kept his mouth shut.

"What now?"

"Just go and release one of your precious butterflies, I'll take care of the rest." It seemed easy enough, he could already feel the dark energy of someone's anger rising through him. When the akuma had fluttered away through the window he turned back to where Le Paon was standing, she was gone. In return a single feather was left on the chair. He ignored the lurch of uneasiness in his stomach as he detransformed; why did it feel like he just made a deal with the Devil himself?

A.n.- So it begins. This story will probably be darker, but we'll see how it goes. So my updates will probably be once every week ( or two weeks at the latest) simply because I'm trying to write original story to be published and well that comes first. But I will do my best to update on time. Favorite or Follow the story to gain reviews, favorite or follow me if you like my writing, and review and give me feedback. I love talking to my readers and giving spoilers and hints to them, but I got to know who you are first. Until next time.
