It was dusk when Adrien, Nino, Chloe, Ayla, and Marinette all stood in his room with their eyes glued to his television screen, standing close to each other with expressions of uneasiness and fear. Hours earlier, he and Marinette had their secret identity revealed by a villain, known as Telecast, a young television news reporter who had recently been akumatized due to him being fired by his boss, Gabriel Agreste, Adrien's dad. Little did Mr. Agreste know, just a couple hours prior to his firing, Mark Swanson, a.k.a. Telecast found out that Mr. Agreste, the owner of the news station where he worked, was HawkMoth, and that he had been hiding some important information away from his son regarding his family history in his secret journal that was tucked away in his drawer of his office.

Now that he had all the information he needed, he was going to broadcast it to all of Paris in an attempt to get revenge at Mr. Agreste.

"Okay, okay, okay," Telecast said giggling, "Here's the real deal about the Agreste family." Marinette looked over at Adrien whose eyes were still glued to the television like everyone else. She could see that his eyes were starting to widen as his shoulders were tensing up. "Now, I have to say, when I read this guy's journal, I felt so sorry for his son, Adrien. I mean, it seems like he doesn't even give a damn about this kid." Telecast opened the small blue journal that he had acquired from Mr. Agreste's office and turned to a particular page, "Listen to this: It says "Though it seems like I could be hurting him in the long run, I must not ever let him know that he wasn't the one actually responsible for his mother's death. I did indeed poison her, but I had to make him think he did it instead with the flower he gave her. He may not end up remembering his fifth birthday very fondly, but at least he'll know why I decided that I wasn't going to buy my first gift for him this year. I have another confession: I have also decided to tell him that because he is the cause of his mother's death, he will no longer have celebratory birthday parties for years to come as punishment. I told him it'd be better to take this punishment rather than me call the police and have him taken away to a foster home where he might get touched inappropriately by his new foster parent or parents. I have to keep him around to maintain my image as a 'loving father'; therefore I cannot allow him to be taken from me too soon", could you believe this guy?" All of the girls gasped, their fingers touching the corners of their mouths and their eyes widening. Adrien's eyes widened further, his eyes getting teary as his hands began to shake and his mouth quivered. "Oh man," said Nino looking over to Adrien with a look of sympathy. Everyone looked at Adrien as he stood there not moving anything but his shaking hands. "This guy has lied to his kid multiple times," Telecast continued, "kept him from having any pets with no reason being related to any allergies, slapped him, called him "Garbage" and "Worthless" any time the kid disappointed him, pushed him down the stairs when he wasn't looking, convinced the kid that he murdered his own Mom, then punish him for said crime he didn't commit by making sure that the kid never have any birthday parties just so he could save money in his wallet and spend it on himself instead! Oh, and he molested his assistant once," he looked down at the book then back to the camera, "Or twice," he looked down again at the book then back at the camera, "Three times, actually," Telecast stepped closer to the camera with a smirk on his face, "So yeah, Adrien, that's your father right there. Happy Father's Day!"

Adrien slowly shook his head as he backed up slowly to the window, "No, no, this can't be true," he said, his voice starting to break, "Oh my God, this can't be happening; this can't be true!" "Wow, Adrien, that's seriously, like, sad and stuff. Are you okay?" asked Chloe. Adrien shot her a death glare, "Oh my God, Chloe, that's such a stupid question! Do I look 'okay'?! Do I look okay, right now?!" Chloe's eyes widened, "Well, no, but you know, I read in some scientific article that 'hugs from your boo can help heal a broken heart'," She said with a smile and her arms wide open. "That's it; you are literally the most idiotic bitch that I have ever met!" said Adrien. Chloe's mouth dropped open. "Don't give me that stupid look; give the heck out of my house," He said grabbing her by the arm as he opened the bedroom door. He shoved her out of the room and she fell over. Then he turned back to everyone else, "I want all of you out of my house, too!" "Wait, us," asked Marinette, "But why? We don't want to leave you here like this." "Yeah, man," said Nino, "I mean, if you need some help going through this, we're here for you, you know, we don't want to leave you like this. We can help." "You want to help?" asked Adrien, tears streaming down his cheeks. All of them nodded. "Then get out of my room, please. I don't want to talk about anything; I just want to be left alone!" All his friends exchanged glances, and then they sulkily headed for the door. Adrien passed by them as they all left the room, and once they were all out he shut the door behind them and walked to his bed where he plopped down onto his mattress and lay his head. Outside the bedroom, Marinette had her ear against the closed bedroom door; she could hear Adrien loudly sobbing. Her mouth quivered, "Aww, poor Adrien! His childhood was so awful; it makes me want to cry!" "Poor Adrien?" asked Chloe with her hands on hips, making a pouty face, "What about poor me?! I can't believe he just broke my heart like that! I feel so crushed!" Everyone else gave Chloe a dirty look. "I wished you were crushed," mumbled Marinette. "Um, excuse me, what was that," asked Chloe. "Nothing," said Marinette as her and Ayla passed the pouty-faced blond girl still giving them the stink-eye. "Slutty McBitch-face," Marinette mumbled again as she walked down the stairs. Ayla giggled as she walked down the stairs behind her. Nino followed them both. "Hmph! Whatevs!" said Chloe as she made her way down the stairs. The four of them were making their way towards the door when suddenly, Nathalie Sancouer, Mr. Agreste's assistant came running towards them. She stopped in front of Marinette, "Quick, one of you tell me where is Adrien!" "Um, he's in his room," said Marinette casually. "Thank you so much," Nathalie replied, and then she ran up the stairs and darted for Adrien's room. She knocked on the door and began calling out his name. "Leave me alone, Nathalie!"

"But Adrien, it's something important I need to talk to you about!" said Nathalie. "If it's anything meant to convince me that my Dad isn't the devil in disguise, I'm not listening!" The kids looked on as they stood by the door. "Um, I think you guys should go," said Marinette. "Why should we?" asked Chloe. "Super-hero stuff, Chloe," said Marinette turning to Chloe with a smirk "You wouldn't understand." Before Chloe could get a word out Ayla opened the door and pushed her out of the house along with Nino, "Okay, people, nothing to see here. Things are about to get crazy, so we got to leave." Before shutting the door behind her, Ayla called back to Marinette who was still standing in the lobby, "See you tomorrow, girl!" "See ya!" Marinette said waving. Marinette then turned around as the door closed and ran up the stairs to go try and talk to Adrien.
