Lost and Found Chapter 1: A Kagami and Lila Story
Kagami is in a hospital room sitting in a chair.
Kagami looks at the hospital machines. She listens to the beeping of the machines. She thinks about how the sound of the machines is the difference between life and death.
Kagami looks at the patient in the bed clinging to life support. The patient, her half-sister Lila.
Tears start running down Kagami’s face. Under different circumstances it could be her lying in this hospital bed barely holding on to life.
Next to the patient’s bed is Nooroo floating above Lila, holding a silent vigil for his ex holder. Marinette was against Nooroo being in the same room as Lila, but Kagami finally talked her into letting Nooroo see Lila after it was clear how worried the Kwami was for his former holder.
Kagami could hear footsteps entering Lila’s room. She knew without looking that the footsteps belonged to Felix.
Felix: “Can I get you anything?”
Felix: “There’s nothing more you can do.”
Kagami: “Are you mad at me?”
Felix: “Why would I be mad?”
Kagami: “Because I’ve been spending more time here with Lila, and less with you.”
Felix: “I’m not mad at all.”
Kagami: “It could have been me. If I hadn’t met Marinette, and the other girls, I might have been the one in here. I want to help her Felix.”
Felix: “I don’t think that Marinette will like that idea too much.”
Kagami: “I don’t care what Marinette thinks. I have to at least try. Do you think that I’m being foolish Felix?”
Felix(gentle smile on his face): “No. I think that you’re following your heart, and that’s one of the many things that I love about you.”
Nooroo: “I think she wants to be helped.”
Kagami, and Felix look at Nooroo in shock and surprise. This is the first time that the Kwami had spoken since Chrysalis had been defeated, and the Butterfly Miraculous had been removed from Lila.
Kagami: “I agree Nooroo.”
Kagami: “Felix, will you help me?”
Felix: “Of course I’ll help you, in any way I can. What do you need me to do?”
Kagami could feel a headache coming on. She realizes that this is going to be harder than she thought. Not just from a relationship(person to person)point of view, but also from a legal standpoint. For over a decade her half sister had been the most wanted supervillain-Chrysalis-and now that she has been defeated the law isn’t going to care that she had been raised by a psychopath. Someone had to pay the price for all of Chrysalis’s crimes.
Kagami: “Felix, do you know of any good lawyers?”
Felix(smile on face): “I know a few.”
Kagami: “I don’t think that she’s fit to stand trial. I’d like to see about getting her transferred into my custody under house arrest.”
Felix: “It will be a challenge to find the right lawyer, but I’ve always liked a good challenge.”
Kagami(smiles at Felix): “Thank you.”
Felix: “I’ll start making phone calls first thing in the morning.”
Kagami and Felix kiss. Felix leaves the room, leaving Kagami alone with her half sister.
***********************************************
The Miraculers have finally defeated Chrysalis, and removed the Butterfly Miraculous from Lila. However even without the Butterfly Miraculous Lila refuses to go down without a fight.
Ladybug: “It’s over Lila!”
Lila: “I hate you Ladybug!!!!!”
Ryuko: “Please give up Lila.”
To the surprise of the Miraculers Lila pulls out a knife, and impales herself with it.
Lila turns to look at Ryuko.
Lila(sad smile): “Tell Nooroo I’m sorry.”
Lila collapses to the floor from blood loss.
