Ladybug gone, and the other Ladybug missing in action? How could Papillion resist? And if Chat was teaching people to fight his beautiful Akuma, why not give them a chance to practice? But who....

The Doctor, as always, was tempting. But that was like a fine wine, best to let his anger age a bit more. Rose... much the same. River and Agatha were both interesting, but he needed to learn more.

Link... now that anger had been tempting, had he but known the lack of Ladybugs he would have acted then. Because obviously he had been here the whole time. But knowing that Chat Noir had also Chatnipped back when they did.... Something he needed to remember. To figure out. Later.

For now....

Ah! A new arrival, lost. Alone. Missing the people he loves. Dealing with small minded bigots, no doubt. Well then... it was time for Spine to make a new friend...

Papillion raised his hands and let a butterfly settle in one palm. He covered it with his other hand and imbued it with his dark powers. "Fly my little Akuma, and darken his metal heart!"

So long as this wasn't another Markov, he'd be fine.

The akuma flew towards the window and vanished before crossing the threshold. This time, he recreated it fifteen feet directly above him, and as soon as Spine wasn't paying attention, the butterfly landed on the guitar.

"Le Fabian, I am Papillion. You miss your family, but you can have a new family here, with my help. I can give you the ability to find a family you can love, who will understand you, in exchange I need one small favour when the time comes."
