(A/N)

Welcome to chapter 2 of this fanfic. I had a huge help from a friend about where this was heading up to. Thank you so much DearestMrlcarus for your help.

Note- in this story Hawkmoth has been defeated long time ago.

(/A/N)

Marinette was becoming more aggressive day by day. Adrien was really missing the previous her. Another day of physical punishment for Emma and David! It was always the same story. Adrien went to comfort them but today he said something different before leaving.

"I promise I'll bring your mama back to normal. Just give me some time. Well I hope Master Fu has done the needful." He sighed as he left the room.

Adrien took his bag and left home. A place which was no longer nice to be in. Marinette had always been there for him.

"This time it's my turn" He thought.

Adrien went inside Master Fu's residence. He hoped for a positive answer.

"Sit down young lad. I know what you want. You visit me every once a week hoping for an answer. It was really hard to decode this as this case is really very complicated Today I guess that I'll be able to answer it" Master Fu said as he greeted Adrien.

"Let me know master. I need to know it" Adrien pleaded.

"Patience! I'll take it from the top. You remember when Ladybug got akumatized?" Fu questioned.

(Apparently Ladybug had got akumatized a few years back when she was in love with Chat after Adrien rejected him. (Mentioned in detail in my other fanfic- How? A Flashback ). )

Adrien nodded in agreement.

"You see, the akuma may have been purified but..." Master Fu hesitated

"But what Master?" Adrien was now anxious.

"But the evil was not fully drained out. A portion of it had remained in her for the past few years. When Marinette had got pregnant I suppose that it may have got activated. Slowly it might have spread through her body making her evil.. Being evil doesn't need to always being having evil powers, being your opposite self can be it too. For instance Marinette was kind but now she doesn't care about how others feel." !aster Fu explained.

"I kmow" replied Adrien.

He remembers the particular moment when his wife had spilt hot coffee on him 2 months ago. He was reading the newspapers and the rage for not taking the coffee as soon as it was served was too expensive.

"But master, isn't there any cure?" Adrien questioned Master Fu

" There is one remedy. It's a miraculous." Master Fu replied.

"A miraculous? But don't we have them?" the blonde husband asked.

"We do have miraculouses but not the miraculous. The one that we need is not a real miraculous, it's a fake one which was powered by Hawkmoth long time ago. All its bad energy has been drained out so we can sucks up the evil in Marinette to it and later we can destroy it" Master Fu explained.

"But where can we find such a thing?" Adrien was perplexed.

" Boy! It's been a while. I'm 200 but I still can remember, aren't you some 20 odd? Anyways I'm obligated not to tell the answers directly. You got to find it. I'll give you a riddle. Solve it, then you'll get the answer" Master replied.

"Fine. But what if I don't get it?" Adrien muttered.

" Good question. There is a problem there. I forgot to mention earlier that we have less time in our hands. You see, Marinette was affected by this 14 years ago and it's going to be the 15th year by the end of this week, which is in exactly 3 days. It's been a long time Adrien. If you don't solve this within 3 days Marinette will forever be violent." He was regretful.

Marinette was a great soul but seeing her like this was really hard.

"What? Never mind, I can't waste a minute. I need to make her alright. Specially for my family." Adrien was determined to bring his kind wife back.

"Okay, then listen,

Enemies and friends form in time

But they are the ones who will be courageous

I hope this riddle did rhyme

They will definitely help with their fake Miraculous " Master Fu finished his riddle.

"Enemies and friends... so, the person is known to Mari. Courageous...? Maybe they fight with courage. So this person is Marinette's enemy and they fight all the time and she has a fake miraculous... Could it be... No ways... Lila?" Adrien figured out.

So then it was Lila's fake fox miraculous which was going to help them out. Unfortunately Lila and Adrien were not that close anymore and Adrien didn't know her whereabouts. But still he was determined to end this struggle his family was going through for years.

"Thank you master. 3 days left and I will solve this!" He said as he left.

(A/N)

Is Lila really the one who will help out Mari? If so will she agree? How is Adrien gong to solve this problem in 3 days? A lot of questions to be answered. To find out we will have to wait some more time. Please do review. Until next time. . . . . . . .
