Chloe walk into her classroom, her classmates all quilted down upon seeing her. Chloe knew the reason why, they had all seen the footage of her fighting with the villain Riposte who is really Kagami Tsurugi before one of Hawkmoth's moths had transformed her. To beat her, Chloe had allowed herself to be stab by her and allowed her to stab her in the neck with a pocket knife. Allowing this reality's Ladybug, Red Queen to restore everything. (1)

Something she's been doing since she doesn't have Pollen to transform into a hero yet. Since the day she didn't get to become this worlds Ladybug, Chloe made sure she'll be ready. Some of the events had changed from what she remembers but some stayed the same. The first Akuma was Gargoyle at night and instead of having to break an object, they need to have sufficient damage done to the villain which will cause them to detransform immediately. (2)

The second time was when the Mime and Magician a pair of criminals became Akumatized making them into superpowered supervillains. Who attack the fair where she was helping her father run a food stand. Thanks to the wish she made, Marinette is now living her life from before while she and her father are living her old life. Thanks to her getting the memories of her life in this new world, she was able to catch up.

She was in the Ferris wheel when the villains attack, which thanks to the battle between the villains and the heroes was knock off the stands and began rolling. When Cheshire ended up on the side of the car she's in she tried to pull him in but Mime lasso him and lank him and her out. She would had fallen to her death if it wasn't for Red Queen saving her. The villains beaten and Chloe surprise Red Queen when she ask isn't she going to use her Miraculous Cure to restore everything.

Red Queen who is different from Ladybug had acted like she never used that power before but did as Chloe suggested and restored all the damage done during the battle. Of course that didn't restore the damage to the bank the two criminals did but it did restore what happen after Red Queen and Cheshire battled the villains. Making Red Queen wonder how Chloe knows about her powers that even she didn't know she could do.

Chloe began working out and building up muscle and a tone body as she didn't have magical powers to fight with. What she did have is a metal bat which she's been using to fight the villains that Hawkmoth creates. Giving Red Queen the opening she needed to take them out or she did it herself.

She had distracted Stormy Weather by insulting her to her face about causing a big ice storm in the city. Which got the villainess close enough for her to grab her and slam her face into the pavement, turning her back to normal and Red Queen to change everything back to normal.

In fact she had taken down some of her fellow classmates turned villain like in her old world.

Timebreaker she smash in the face with her bat.

Lady WiFi she soaked with a hose and then zap with a hairdryer thrown into the puddle of water.

Evillustrator she dump paint on and then beat with her bat.

Horrificator had swallowed her alive and she cut herself out.

"I'm saying this right now, anyone else who transforms into a villain and attacks me like all the times that happen. I'm going to horrible cripple or maim you. I just had my guts spilled out and I'm in no mood to play around," Chloe said as she sat down at her seat.

Sabrina from her seat could only stare at Chloe who change from the bully into the scary loner of the class. Who has helped her in defeating the villains but always in a brutal way. Yes the only way to turn them back is to hurt them till they turn back, but she just does things to the extreme. Which seeing how she in her words is just a badass normal hero, she couldn't afford not to hold back against villains with powers.

"Chloe do you really have to say that? Kagami remembers what you did and isn't taking it well," Adrien said. Remembering how Kagami was sobbing as she remembers Chloe smiling as she plunged that knife into her neck. Telling her that seeing the life fade from her eyes fills her with joy.

"And I remember getting gutted by her and seeing my guts spilling out. So I made sure I would be taking her with me," Chloe said. "Besides Red Queen has brought me back to life more than once."

"I know you saved me…," Adrien said but was cut off.

"Who said anything about saving you? You and I aren't friends remember, you told me yourself. I was helping Red Queen and Cheshire, I just ended up saving you by accident," Chloe said and eyed Marinette. "That goes for you too."

"Chloe come on now. You are a hero now," Marinette said scared of Chloe who now has the bite to back up her bark.

"Who everyone knows as I don't have a mask to hide behind. And have nightmares of all that I go through fighting the villains, namely many of you, like having a bubble around my head with no air, being hit by lightning, having my arms cut off, gutted, burn, frozen, and eaten alive. Red Queen restores me back to normal but I still remember everything," Chloe said.

"Then why do you continue to do this?" Marinette asked.

"Red Queen saved me, I want to return the favor. Besides since, I have been going around fighting villains. The bakery has been doing well and the crime rate has also gone down where I live as criminals don't want to mess with someone who fights super powered villains," Chloe said as since she been fighting villains the people around the bakery have been nicer to her and her father. And that her presents scares most criminals away, ever since that time a robber tried to rob the store next to the bakery and she knock him out with her bat.

"But you're scaring everyone," Marinette points out as all the class now fears Chloe as they seen how dangerous she is and that all of her bark has teeth to go with it now.

"And I'm the meat shield that keeps others from being hurt whenever someone gets turn into a villain," Chloe said. "I would like to have you all be grateful that I'm here to take the attacks instead of all of you. But fine let's see how you all like it when I'm not around during the next attack."

"Come on it's not like you're the only thing that's been preventing us from being attacked," Kim said.

Later -

Chloe didn't recognized the villain attacking the school but it's not her problem as she had escape the school when the spider theme villain first showed up. Which the school is now wrapped up in web preventing anyone else from escaping, with the screams of the students still trap inside and the battle going inside filling the air. She and the others who had escaped the school are watching from behind the police cars as Red Queen and Cheshire fight the villain.

Finally the web disappeared as Red Queen stored everything back to normal. Walking back inside Chloe sees all of her classmates huddled together who all looked shell shocked, thanks to the villain being a spider that drained them of their fluids leaving nothing but barely alive husks behind. Adrien and Sabrina came out of some classrooms where they had been hiding.

Chloe walked up to her classmates with a smug smirk.

"So how do you all like being through what I go through all the time?" Chloe asked. (3)

Author's Notes -

1 - Base on Chloé's Lament of the lament series by ChaoticNeutral. With some changes to the story line for my fic.

2 - Chloe is from the tv series and is now in the movie world. Seeing how the suspension of disbelief has gotten to the point where I just quit the show. Chloe in the show couldn't have taken over Paris like that or that the government would had allowed that to happen.

3 - Chloe has before now been attracting the villains attention onto her up till now. So none of her classmates had to deal being attacked by the villains up to that point.

This is an example of 'Removing the Crucial Teammate' seen in fantasy mangas. Where after the team kicks out the main character the team just falls apart. It might be that the expelled member had an overly specific or esoteric special ability that suddenly proves plot-critical. Perhaps they were a Utility Party Member or Support Party Member who provided a critical non-combat role that the combatant members who had to guard them didn't respect until it was gone. Or maybe they were The Heart of the team, and without them, The Team's dynamics are stuck in Dysfunction Junction, and questing just isn't as fun as before.
