Akilah did not know how to react. Adara and that man had connecting life threads, meaning they would never escape each other.

"However do not underestimate me” Ladybug said “I have given you immense magical powers. There is also the fact that I have made sure you picked up useful abilities that you can use to survive.”

“Awww gee thanks Mr bug” Akilah said with an obvious sarcastic tone.

“So this is how you thank me?” Ladybug replied half-jokingly “After all I have done for you, this is how you repay me?”

Akilah continued with her sarcasm. “Actually, Mr bug I didn't know you were this kind and considerate all this time”

“Yes okay, stop with the sarcasm” Ladybug retorted.

Akilah didn't mind him and continued “But whatever do you mean my dearest Ladybug. I'm the being utmost since.”

“Ha. Ha. Okay I got it, stop”

“I'm just saying the amount of effort you put in, clearly how much you must just love me”

“Dear Satan make her STOP THIS!!”

Akilah burst laughing “Now that I think about it, I don't think the name Ladybug is appropriate for you anymore, how about 'Angel'?”

“Stop it or I will add 15 years!”

“Okay, okay I get it” Akilah said as she stifled her laughter “But I have a request for you”

He groaned “I swear peasant if you make another joke I-”

“No no calm down. It's a not that”

“Fine go ahead” Ladybug said annoyed.

“Remember when I asked about the man that got 99 years and wondered what he wished for. You said that you'll tell when I complete my henchman work”

“Yes...” Ladybug asked

“Sooo are you gonna tell me?” Akilah said.

“Well after what you just did. I do not feel like telling you” Ladybug said in a snarky manner.

“Oh come on, you're gonna make me beg?” Akilah asked, but Ladybug didn’t reply 'Wow he really wants me to beg to boost his hurt ego'.

“Fine you amazing, powerful, generous being. Can you PLEASE tell me what that man’s wish was?” she said with a very exaggerated tone.

Ladybug huffed “Well since you asked so nicely, I will tell you.”

Akilah perked up, she had waited years to hear this story.

“He was a man from your world actually, he was a strange man though. He wanted godlike powers strong enough to take down any man. On top of that he wished that this power would be extended to his future generations.”

“So did you grant it?” Akilah eagerly asked.

“Yes, I had to. He passed all the trials I threw at him and when I handed him the 99 years deal, he accepted, and did not mess up even once” Ladybug answered.

“So how does that work, I mean him passing down the power to his kids...?”

“That part had to be negotiated”

“Wait I thought that that you couldn't negotiate wishes?”

“No I said I did not want to negotiate your deal, there's a difference.”

Akilah huffed “So all this time you-”

“Do you want to hear the story, or do you want to complain?”

Akilah crossed her arms and groaned loudly “Fine, fine continue.”.

“As I was saying, we negotiate the deal so that it would eventually disappear from his bloodline.”

“So how long until it completely runs out?”

“About ten generations, however it grows weaker by every generation”

“And you said that this man comes from my world-”

“Yes, yes I know what you're going to say, and the answer is yes. His offspring will be alive when you travel back to your world.”
