"Adrien, ADRIEN!" Adrien turned to the sound of his mother's voice. Shewas standing at the top of the double staircase in the foyer of their mansion.

"Mom!" Adrien ran towards his mother, arms outstretched for a hug, but before he reached her she became surrounded in a cloud of smoke, totally engulfing her. He heard maniacal, chaotic laughter. Before the cloud lifted and she was gone, again!"

"MOM!" Adrien sat up in his bed, in a cold sweat, cheeks wet with tears. He placed a heavy hand on his chest, trying to slow his racing heart. He grabbed his phone and texted his lady love.

Adrien: Are you up?

He mentally recounted his nightmare, this was the third one this month, and they kept getting worse. His phone chimed and he reached for it.

Marinette: Now I am, what's up… another nightmare?

Adrien: Yep… and this one is by far the worse.

Marinette: My poor kitten, are you coming over? My window is already unlocked ;)

Adrien: Of course bugaboo! Be there in 5

Adrien rolled out of bed and woke up his sleeping kwami.

"Kid! This is like the millionth time this week, I need some sleep"

"I know, I know, but I need… emotional support. Plus you know Mari has the best camembert in all of paris" Adrien responded

"Fine, but it's only for the camembert"

"Whatever, PLAGG CLAWS OUT!" A bright green light filled the room, making it glow. The superhero cracked open his window and pulled himself up onto the ledge. Even though it was dark his night vision let him see clear as day. He extended his staff and vaulted over the street lights until he arrive on marinettes street. He climbed onto the rooftop and knocked three times on the window, their special signal that the other was there. Approximately twenty seconds later a sleepy eyed and beheaded Marinette opened the door and stepped out, kissing her superhero. "Hey babe, how are you." Adrien mumbled.

"Tired, but the real question is how are you doing, these wretched nightmares are destructive. What are they even about, all you ever said that it was about family problems, but that is not enough information… I'm worried, and I NEED to know!" Marinette exclaimed the worry clear in her voice.

"T-thier about my mother. It was exactly one year ago that she left me, and my father. I do not even know why she left." Adrien explained "I loved her and-and" Adrien voice broke off he collapsed on the floor in convulsive sobs.

"KITTIE!" Marinette fell to her knees next to Chat Noir

"I-i need her" He wailed "even when she just left it wasn't this bad, and I am scared of being Acumatised."

"Well we are so close to figuring out who hawkmoth is, Alya, I meen volpina was able to locate the area where his lair is, so tomorrow we are going during school. Actually Master Fu faked a "extra credit field trip" that we are going on tomorrow, so we will not be suspected."

"Okay, bae. That's great!"

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Ya i'm fine! I already told you!"

"Okay,okay" Marinette replied anger in her voice

"I'm sorry, I'm a little… on edge. I-didn't mean to be rude."

"I-it's fine." The pigtailed girl snuggled into her Chat's chest. They just sat there for about half an hour until Adrien heard Mari's breathing settle. He knew that she had fallen asleep. He silently and quietly stood up, with his princess in his arms, and brought her back to bed. After tucking her in he kissed her on the forehead.

"Nighty, night purrincess." he whispered "love you." He cracked open the window and vaulted home.
