Angel-chan: Enjoy
2:59 p.m.
"I'm worried and scared." Adrien muttered under his breath. Had Angel not trained herself into focusing her ears to everything around her there would have been a chance that she would have not heard Adrien's soft words.
"Why?" Were the first words that left the older woman's lips. "Is it because of what my sister said?" When hearing those words Adrien sunk further into the couch. Angel's eyes widen for a second at seeing the boy's reaction but soon soften to a soft tender gaze.
"I don't know why but it hurts to know that she actually doesn't know who I am… both as Adrien and Chat Noir…" Adrien drop his head as rejection started to eat at his emotions. Angel looked at the boy in front of her and she could see him, so visibly clear… her old partner. She had to place a hand over her mouth to stop herself from giggling at the remembrance of him. However, it was pointless she had no control over herself and a small fit of giggles escaped through the opening cracks of her fingers. Adrien's head shot up to see the woman trying so very hard trying to detain her giggles. Angel held up her hand trying to ask him to give her a minute. Once she gained control of herself she breathes out a sigh of relief as she straightens herself in her chair and looked at the boy in front of her.
"I'm sorry but you looked so much like the old Chat Noir." Adrien was taken aback not really expecting that she had just said. "Look, Adrien I won't tell you shouldn't feel the way you do at this moment because let's face that's just how reality is; a world filled with fear, hate, worry, etc. However, it's also filled with safety, love, and relief." Adrien stared at Angel as she calmly spoke her words.
"But…But what if she doesn't remember me again…" Angel snorted at his words.
"Trust me Adrien, that girl will remember you. There just simply no way she will not remember you once this whole amnesia passes over." Angel said as she stood up from her seat and slowly walked over to Adrien.
"You think so?" Adrien asked as he looked up to stare into the woman's eyes as she stood in front of him. Angel gave him a kindhearted smile and patted his head.
"I know so." Adrien looked into her confident eyes as a tiny smile graced his lips. Angel took the chance and sat next to the boy as they chatted with one another for a bit longer until the two heard a ruckus outside of Angel's office door. The woman raised a single brow wondering exactly what is happening out there. Before she had a chance to get off of her seat to check what was going on her office phone started to ring. Giving out a sigh she knew she had to answer it before she checks out the situation outside her office. "Bonjour, ici Moon (Hello, Moon speaking.)" When she answers all she was able to hear were yells from a man in the background.
"Je suis désolé Mme Moon mais il y a un homme qui exige de vous voir … quelque chose au sujet de son fils (I'm sorry Ms. Moon but there's a man that is demanding to see you… something about his son.) " Angel was confused at what she was hearing. A man wanting to see me because of his son, Angel thought. She allowed the words to sink in when it finally clicked. She turned her head towards Adrien who in return turn to face her.
"It looks like your father came to pick you up personally Adrien." The blonde boy's green eyes widen in shock when hearing Angel's words. "Tell the guards to let him pass but no one else but him." Angel said nothing more as she hanged up the phone and waiting for her office doors to open. When they did they opened only wide enough for one person to walk in; the male walked in with a huff of frustration.
"Ah! Father…" The young boy called out. "What are you doing here?" His father glared at his son as he walked into the room standing in between both Adrien and Angel.
"That is exactly what I would like to ask you, Adrien." Adrien sinked into his seat as he looked away from his father's hard glare.
"I asked Adrien to come with me Mr. Agreste." Angel said as she stood in between Adrien and his father. Shielding the poor boy from his father's cold glare.
"Exactly why did you ask MY son to accompany you here?" Angel stopped herself from rolling her eyes at the man and went for the next best thing she thought was appropriate for the situation; shrugging her shoulders.
"Let me be perfectly clear Mr. Agreste reasons as to why I asked your son to accompany is simply to talk about my sister. Who may I enlighten you is your son's classmate." Angel said with a 'matter a fact' tone as she crossed her arms across her chest. Adrien's father raised a single brow as he looked straight into Angel's olive green eyes. "And I'm sure you're going to ask due to the expression you are giving me. My sister is Marinette Dupain-Cheng and she is currently hospitalized with a head injury."
"I see," was all Adrien's father said.
"I'm sure you are well aware of how busy one such as us, are when being the top brands in Paris, Gabriel Agreste, which I had to have him come along with me in order for me to answer his questions." Gabriel's frown grew fouler from the hidden meaning that Angel was stating in her words towards the man.
"Are you implying that I do not make time for my own son?" Angel's expression faded into nothingness.
"You said it not me," she answered with a shrug of her shoulders. "Just saying you know." This only angered the designer more. Gabriel took a deep breath in order to calm himself down.
"I think we'll take our leave now," Gabriel said as he turned his body towards the direction of the door. "Adrien let's go…" Adrien gave a dejected look at the female that had protected him of his father so far but knew that once he left her office that would soon end. He stood up and started to follow his father, he was just about to walk pass Angel when she whispered something to him.
"You'll be fine, trust me." Adrien looked up at her to see her smiling down at him as she then pointed towards his pants pocket. He took that as a sign and digged his hand into his pocket to feel a small rectangular card. That's when he remembered that she had handed him her business card with her information. He looked back at her with hope in his eyes. As she mouth something to him.
'Call me anytime.'
A smile started to spread on the young boy's lips as he nodded silently. "Now, Adrien." Gabriel said in a harder tone as he was tired of waiting for his son. Adrien waved goodbye to Angel once more with a brighter face as he ran over to his father side and exiting the room together. Once hearing the door clicks notifying the woman that it was completely close she gave out a heavy sigh.
"Seriously that man is going to end up pushing his own son away." Angel said as she walked towards the wall that was made out of glass allowing her to see the city outside the office. She raked her fingers through her long black-blue hair. "That's the last thing he needs; first his wife…and now…I don't even want to imagine it."
"He'll be fine, Angel I'm sure of it." Angel didn't turn to look over at the little red kwami.
"I know Tikki I just can't help but worry." Tikki looked up at her old companion as she understood what she meant."
-Knock-Knock-
Tikki quickly took cover upon hearing the knocks coming from the door. "Yes, Clovis…" The door opened to reveal the tall man with dark indigo hair. "What is it?" She asked as Clovis closed the door behind him.
"Nothing," was all he said as he made his way towards Angel. Once he was standing right behind her he allowed his head to lay on her shoulder. "Why were both Adrien and Gabriel Agreste in your office?" A small smiled decorated the designer's smiles as she glanced over at his head.
"So it is something then…" Clovis's body stiffens as a small cat like pout sketched onto his lips.
"Shut up…" He muttered as he buried his face into the hollow of her neck only earning him a chuckle from the black-blue headed woman. Angel brought her hand to Clovis's hair as she started to run her fingers through it.
"It was nothing, Adrien just wanted to talk about my sister and a few problems he has at home. However, he didn't exactly ask his father's permission so it ended with Mr. Agreste coming here." Angel explained. "Satisfied?" Clovis peeked up at Angel's profile as he considered her words for a second. He knew she wasn't completely telling him the truth but the fact that it was someone else's problem he could not blame her for not telling him the whole story…it was not hers to tell.
"For now," he replied as he lifted his head from her shoulders and stood up straight allowing her to turn around and face him. Once she did he wasted no time and snaked his arms around her waist bringing her closer to him; placing a sweet tender kiss on her forehead. "Why don't we go see your sister, I'm sure she's missing you already." That's when it click
MARINETTE! Oh no, how could I have forgotten, Angel thought. "Yeah, your right we should." Clovis nodded as she gave Angel another kiss on her forehead and followed it by releasing his hold on her.
"Alright let me get my things and well head on out to the hospital." Angel smiled as she nodded to his statement. Just as Clovis was about to reach the door it opened to reveal Désirées.
"Oh good you're still here," she said with a sigh of relief. She gave them a smile as she directed her attention to Clovis. "Mr. Clovis you are going to be late for your meeting with Mr. Jagged Stone if you don't leave right now." Clovis face palmed himself as if just recalling his meeting with the said king of rock n' roll.
"Shit, I had completely forgotten all about that meeting," he muttered. He slowly looked over his shoulder give Angel an apologetic expression. "Je suis désolé chérie mais tu vas devoir y aller sans moi (I'm sorry love but you're going to have to go without me.)" Angel smiled as she nodded and cheered on the inside.
"Ne t'inquiète pas Clovis, rejoins-moi dès que tu as terminé avec ta réunion, ok ? (It's okay Clovis just meet up with me once you're finished with the meeting, okay.)" Clovis smiled as he too nodded back to the woman.
"D'accord." Clovis gave her one last wave as he left the office with Désirées in tow. When the door closed once again Angel gave out a sigh of relief as she placed a hand over her chest.
"That was a close one Tikki. Had he not knocked on the door he would have found out about you." Tikki came out from Angel's hair and came to float in front of her.
"I take it you haven't told him that you were Ladybug have you." Angel gave a shook her head as she looked down at the ground a bit shamefully. However, before she started to pity herself she shook the negative thoughts out and looked at Tikki. "Right before he head out to see my sister. Will you tell me why exactly did you come to me when your current holder is badly injured?" Angel asked as she stared straight into the little kwami's bright blue eyes. Tikki hesitated for a bit but she knew she needed to tell Angel everything. Tikki gave out a large sigh as she slightly prepped herself for what was to come from her former holder.
"My new holder is..." Tikki paused for a moment as she allowed Angel to steal her nerves. "Marinette…your sister." Angel's eyes widen as her mouth gaped opened from the shock. She allowed the words to sink in as she processed it all.
"Marinette…My sister is…is Ladybug…" Tikki only nodded to the broken sentence Angel was saying. Angel placed a hand on her forehead as she allowed her fingers to slightly run through her hairline as she gave out a breathless chuckle. "I should have known…The only one she was able to actually remember was Ladybug and not Chat Noir. All the absents during school and her sudden disappearance." Tikki gave her a worried look.
"Are you mad?" Angel looked at Tikki as she gave her a small smile.
"Just a little, but I can't blame you Tikki." Angel said as she rubbed Tikki's cheek with her index finger. "She was the chosen one that the Master chose to be the next miraculous holder." Tikki didn't say a word and just nodded at Angel's words.
"I'm sure you didn't tell her where you were going, now did you?" Tikki sweat drop as she rubbed the back of her head. "I thought so…Come on let's get going." Angel said as she gave one more glance down the window and headed out of her office.
Bel Étranger
3:25 p.m.
"I don't know about this Tikki I think it's best if Marinette doesn't know that I was the previous Ladybug," Angel whispered loud enough only for the little red kwami to hear. "It won't help her in anything if she knew of this information now will it." Said the woman trying to reason with the red kwami; shaking her little head Tikki looked up from her hiding place in Angel's hair to see her old holder's concern olive green eyes.
"I think it will help her, Angel. We can even get Alya to help her in remembering a few things about her Ladybug life." Tikki said with confidence in her voice. Angel stopped in mid stride at Tikki's suggestion.
"Are you crazy? Alya, you want the number one fan and dedicated blogger of Ladybug to help her in remembering her other life?" Tikki smiled as she nodded her head.
"Oui! Tu l'as toi-même, elle est si consacrée sur Ladybug qu'elle a même des vidéos de d'elle ET Chat noir luttant contre les Akuma (Yes! You said it yourself she's so dedicated on Ladybug that she even has videos of her AND Cat Noir fighting against the Akuma's.)" Angel's eyes widen upon hearing Tikki's words.
Of course, how she could have forgotten something so major like that, Angel thought as she reached her sister's room. "Alright, I take it back your right Tikki I guess I will tell her and have her look at Alya's Ladyblog while we're at it, but," Angel took a hold of the door handle as she started to open the door. "I think it's best if we start off with the Ladyblog and slowly make our way in telling her about me, d'accord?" Tikki smiled as she agreed with Angel.
"Oui, d'accord." Just as Angel opened the door her ears were filled with laughter that was filling the hospital room. She slowly made her way inside the room so she could see who it was that was inside and take them by surprise. The first thing that came into her vision was long red hair. Walking in further into the room Angel took in the scene that was laid out in front of her. It was one of Marinette's classmates; Nathanaël, he was sitting beside her bed with what looked like a sketch pad in his hands. Marinette calmed down from her laugher giving her a chance to catch sight of her sister.
"Ah, Angel! You're here." Marinette said with a big smile on her lips. Nathanaël turned around to face the older woman as he gave her a shy smile and waved hello at her.
"Bonjour mademoiselle." Angel gave a sigh as a small smile appeared on her lips.
"Oh my dear just call me Angel, Ang or Ange take your pick." A soft pink dust tinted the boy's cheeks as he nodded at Angel. The older woman made her way to the foot of the bed as to not come between the two. "I see that you two are having fun." Marinette nodded.
"Yeah, Nathan was just telling me what happened in school and what you told Chloé when you went to drop off Nathan, Alya, Nino, and the other boy." A small frown appeared onto Angel's lips upon hearing how Marinette was addressing Adrien.
"You mean Adrien, Marinette." Marinette tilted her head as she looked at her older sister.
"Oh, right Adrien that was his name." Angel's shoulders slumped in disappointment as she sees her younger sister not remembering her crush and partner. Nathanaël was sensing the tension in the air as he took that as a sign for him to leave.
"Ah, I think its best I leave for today Mari." Nathanaël said as he stood up from the chair he was sitting. Marinette looked over at him as she gave him a slight frown.
"Do you really have to go?" Nathanaël smiled softly at the bedridden girl and he touched her folded hands gently.
"I promise to come back tomorrow, okay." Marinette smiled brightly upon hearing him say that.
"Alright it's a promise." She said as she stuck out her pinky towards him. He intertwined his with her and shook on it leaving soon after he had finished making his promise to the young girl he bid farewell to Angel and he was gone out of the room. Angel waited a couple of seconds before she began to move towards the chair Nathanaël had used just moments ago.
"Mari, have you remembered anything since this morning?" Angel asked trying to see if she really didn't need to know about her being Ladybug back in the past.
"No I haven't," said the young girl bringing despair to the young woman. "But," Angel's head perk up upon hearing her younger sister's 'but'.
"But what?" Marinette caught her chin in between her thumb and index finger as she tried to remember something.
"I keep having these dreams of a boy with golden blonde hair he's always standing next to me. Helping me fight Aku─" Marinette stopped herself before she finished her sentence realizing what she was just about to say to her older sister. Letting out a nervous giggle to the older woman Marinette waved it off. "I'm sure it's nothing so just forget about it Ange." Angel gave out a sigh of frustration she knew that the only way she was going to be able to help her sister was in fact to reveal to her that she knows about her other life and that she actually once lived it just like she was right now. But before that she needs to show her the videos of her –Marinette- and Chat Noir fighting side by side. Angel pulls out her cell phone and starts tapping away at the screen.
"Here I want you to see these videos." Angel said as she handed her phone off to Marinette. Marinette took the phone and tapped on the screen to press play.
"What is it?" She asked just as it started to play and what she saw shocked her. It was a video of her and another person standing next to her, helping her, fighting alongside her.
"It's you and Chat Noir fighting together to capture and defeat the akuma that had possessed the innocent civilian." Marinette's eyes widen when she heard the words her sister had just spoken to her. Tearing her eyes away from the phone screen and into her sister's olive green eyes.
"M-Me," Marinette gave out a nervous laugh as she waved off her sister. "What are you talking about Ange I'm not Ladybug. I'm too much of a klutz's to be Ladybug." Angel rolled her eyes at Marinette's words.
"You're kidding me right. I was ten times more of a klutz's than you and I got along fine being Ladybug." Marinette's eyes widen like a deer caught in headlights. She looked at her sister in disbelief not really believing that she heard her right. She was about to open her mouth but closed it right away when Tikki appeared from Angel's long black-blue hair.
"Marinette…" Was all the little red creature said. Marinette's blue bell eyes looked from Tikki to her sister.
"You…were…Ladybug…?" Angel gave her sister a wry smile as she nodded her head.
"Before you I was Ladybug but as you know I had to leave to America so I had to give up my Miraculous and return it back to who had given it to me." Angel took Tikki from her shoulder and brought her in front of both Marinette and herself. "Of course to both Chat and my luck we had already defeated the previous Hwakmoth. So there wasn't really much danger, well at least I thought…I guess we should have looked harder to find Hwakmoth's Miraculous." Angel said as she softly pushed Tikki towards Marinette. Giving out a sigh Angel looked up at her sister to see her stunned and taken aback by all the information that the older woman was giving her.
"I can't believe it…how I never noticed…" Marinette whispered under her breath as she started to recall all of her sister's crazy excuses and the emotional train wreck she would become sometimes. "Wait so Ladybug does have a partner?" Marinette asked as she finally pulled herself away from the fact that Angel was the previous Ladybug.
"Yes, you have a partner –Chat Noir- you both can't be without the other." Angel said as she slightly recalled her times as Ladybug. Marinette looked down at the phone screen to see one of Alya's video's playing; the scene where both Ladybug and Chat Noir fist bumping for defeating the akuma. Upon seeing that a flash of memories passed through Marinette's thoughts making her flinch and cradling her head. Angel took notice and stood up and went to Marinette's side. "Mari, what's wrong? Do you want me to call the doctor?" With a struggle Marinette shook her head towards her sister's question about bring the doctor.
"I'm fine; it's…just a headache." Both Tikki and Angel eyed one another with concern written all over their faces as they glanced back at the young girl withering in pain.
"Didn't this happen last time when she was trying to remember certain things?" Tikki said as she recalled watching the young girl holding her head when she was staring at Adrien and trying to answering Dr. Lebeau's questions. Angel's eyes widen when she looked down at the phone laying on top of Marinette's lap and sees that the video had been paused right when both Ladybug's and Chat Noir's fist touched. Angel looked back up at her sister now understanding she was forcing herself to remember the memories she once had of these people. Angel extended her arms out towards the young girl and brought her into a tight embrace.
"Mari, close your eyes and slowly breathe in and out," Marinette followed Angel's words; once she did her headache was slowly fading away, when Angel finally felt her sister's body calm down she loosen her embrace but never released her from it. "Marinette, I get that you want to get your memories back from the people you can't remember but you have to let them come to you not the other way around…do you understand?" Angel asked as she pulled Marinette away enough for the two to face each other.
"Yes," Marinette said in a soft voice. "I understand." A soft smile sketched onto Angel's lips as she placed a kiss on Marinette's forehead.
"Bien (Good.)"
─Knock─Knock─
Tikki quickly hid while the girls looked up towards the door. They hear the door open as a few pair of feet followed suit. A head popped out from the corner and flashed the girls a smile. "Clovis," Angel said as she returned the smile. "I thought your meeting was going to take you longer." She said taking a peek at the wall clock in the room.
"Yeah well I made it end a little faster." Angel eyed him knowing exactly what he meant by 'a little faster'.
"You showed up to the meeting quickly presented whatever it was to the client and then had told your secretary to come into the meeting making up an excuse about a family matter to get you out of the meeting faster. Not really allowing the client to argue since it was… a family matter." Marinette voiced out exactly what her older sister was thinking.
"You know what; it's scary to know that you can actually know exactly what your sister is thinking," Clovis said as he walked into the room. "Oh, and I ran into your parent's…" He added as he pointed behind him and out walked out Tom and Sabine. The two loving parents rushed towards their two girls and wrapped them up in their arms.
"We're so glad you're awake Marinette." Sabine said with tears threating to fall. Marinette gave them a small smile as she returned the tight embrace. Tom pulled away with Sabine following soon after. He looked down towards his bedridden daughter's eyes.
"Don't you ever do something like that again?" Marinette gave out a breathless chuckle as she looked back at her father and nodded.
"Promis, papa (I promise, dad.)" Tom smiled and patted her head. Angel had by then peeled herself away from Marinette and made her way towards her lover. Clovis smiled at her and wrapped an arm around her waist. She lean into him and laid her head onto his shoulder. Marinette noticed the two and shook her head with a smile sketched into her lips. "Seriously, Clovis when are you and Angel just going to get married, geez. Just tie the knot already." Clovis's cheeks flushed a bright pink as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Marinette is right my boy, you two have been together for about seven years now. I'm surprised you actually haven't asked her yet." Tom said as he wrapped an arm around Sabine's shoulders bringing her closer to him.
"Papa! Laisser Clovis tranquille! Tu l'embarrasses! (Dad! Leave Clovis alone! You're embarrassing him!)" Angel said as a soft pink blush dusted her cheeks.
"We're just stating the truth here Ange, seven years is a long time already. Truthfully I thought he was going to pop the question about four years ago." Marinette said as a smirk appeared on her lips, earning a glare from her sister. Marinette shrugged caring less for her sister's glare towards her. "I'm just saying."
"Ouais, et bien ne dis rien (Yeah, well don't.)" Angel said as she crossed her arms across her chest. Clovis simply gave a nervous chuckle as he rubbed Angel's back and looked up at his lover's family.
"Trust me Tom, Sabine, Mari…I already want to place a ring on that small finger of hers," Angel blushed at Clovis's words. "But now isn't the right time; the company is still new and I'm sure Angel wants to put all her focus into the company until its stable economically." Angel stared up at Clovis in awe.
"But isn't the company stable enough?" Sabine asked.
"Yeah, I mean you did open a second location here in Paris." Marinette added.
"Well, yes but we're barely making deadlines." Clovis answered. "Once I know we're stable I won't hesitate to ask her to become mine." The Dupain-Cheng family gave Clovis a warm smile while the woman standing next to him was burning red with embarrassment but it quickly faded upon hearing a knock coming from the door. Everyone's attention turned towards the opening door to see Dr. Lebeau coming in with a nurse right behind him.
"Hello everyone," the doctor greeted the family as the nurse walked over towards the heart monitor to check Marinette's vitals. "How are you feeling Marinette? Any changes?" Dr. Lebeau asked only to be answered with Marinette shaking her head.
"I'm feeling great but I still can't remember who those three people are." Everyone's shoulders dropped in dejection upon hearing Marinette's words. Angel had informed her parents about Marinette's condition when she had come to visit the younger girl in the morning.
"Hm…Well I'm not surprise," Dr. Lebeau said as he stared down at Marinette's charts. "We just got your test results along with your MRI and CT scans; it looks like the left side of Marinette's brain is swollen from the hit she got when she slipped. This explains why Marinette can't remember certain people since the swollen area is right in the temporal lobe; where all her memories are held."
"Is there anything that you can do to help her remember the people she had forgotten?" Tom asked as he placed a hand on his daughter's shoulder. Dr. Lebeau shook his head as he placed the clipboard under his arm.
"I'm afraid not Mr. Dupain; memories are a fickle thing and the medical field hasn't discovered a cured to deal with amnesia as of yet. In fact there is a 50/50 chance that Marinette might or might not get her memories back about these people," Dr. Lebeau said bluntly not wanting to give the family hope by sugar coating his words. "For now I think it is best to have Marinette resume with her daily life. That way she'll have a higher chance of regaining back her memories; studies show that amnesia patients regain back their memories if they return back to their daily routine." Tom and Sabine nodded understand what the Doctor was explaining to them.
"So, does that mean that my sister will be discharged today?" Angel asked as she looked at the doctor.
"Yes," Dr. Lebeau said with a smile sketched onto his lips. "We'll be getting the discharge papers ready; so if you would follow me Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng." The two nodded as they followed the doctor out of the room. The nurse had left long before so the only people that were left in the room were Marinette, Angel and Clovis.
"Finally it was getting really boring in here." Marinette said as she lay back on the propped up bed. Both Angel and Clovis gave out a chuckle.
"Why didn't you just call me or even text me if you were that bored?" Angel said only to gain a pout from the younger girl.
"I would have but maman and papa have my cell phone." Angel blinked a few times before recalling that the doctors handed all of her sister's personal belonging to her parents.
"Oh, right I forgot."
Bel Étranger
7:25 p.m.
A young boy was lying on his bed as he stared up at his ceiling. It had been less then fifteen minutes since he had gotten home from a photo-shoot. The young lad let out a sigh as he propped himself up on his bed and sat at the edge of the large bed. "Okay spill it, what's wrong kid?" Plagg asked as he actually took a moment to stop eating his precious camembert.
"I just can't help but wonder how Marinette is doing…" Plagg rolled his bright green eyes as he devoured the last piece of his camembert.
"Then why not call her sister to see or that Alya girl." It took Adrien a minute to actually take his kwami's words into consideration. "I mean pinky did give you her personal number as well didn't she." Adrien raised a single brow at Plagg's words.
"Pinky?" Adrien questioned the nickname his little black kwami had just used.
"Angel, duh," Plagg said with a 'matter a fact' tone.
"Why do you call her that?" The young boy asked as he took out the woman's business card. Plagg gave out a smirk as he started to recall the memory of the event that led up to the said nickname.
"Oh, kid if you only knew," Plagg said as he started to chuckle. "But she made me swear to never speak of that event ever again." Adrien let out a sigh as he shook his head; his eyes started to scan over the small card. However all he was seeing were office numbers from her company. He turned the card around hoping to find something besides the numbers in the front of the card. That's where he saw the well written number.
"Hey, this must be it." Adrien said as he started to dial the number onto his phone. The blonde boy's thumbed hesitated just he was about to tap on the little green icon. He was wondering if it was such a good idea to call the older woman. Plagg noticed his hesitation and gave out a sigh as he floated in front of his holder's view.
"What now?" Ask the little black kwami. Adrien stared down at the now dimming phone screen.
"What if she's busy, I wouldn't want to bother her." Plagg shook his head as he gave out a sigh.
"Wasn't she the one that told you to call her anytime?" Plagg stated as if making the young blonde remember the black-blue haired woman's words.
"Call me anytime."
Nodding his head at her words that ran through his head Adrien was seconds away from tapping at the green icon to send out a call towards the female designer, however, just before he did his phone –ding - singling the boy that he had gotten a message. "It's a message from Alya; actually a group message."
Alya, Nino
A: Hey guys! Marinette just texted me
Looks like they let her out of the hospital!
She's back home now!
N: Thts gr8t!
Yeah! Really glad she's back home
Does that mean she's regained back her memories?
Adrien asked hoping that, that was the reason as to why the doctor's discharged her from the hospital. Adrien was practically staring holes into his phone screen which was now becoming dim but then it lit up as a new message popped into his screen.
Alya, Nino
N: Yeah? Did she?
A: …No
Doctors told the fam that there wasn't really nothing they can do medically to treat amnesia
The best treatment for it is for her to resume her daily routine.
That if she did that there would be a good chance she'll remember…
Adrien groaned as he allowed his body to drop down to his bed, draping an arm over his eyes trying to hold back his emotion's from spilling out. Plagg noticed his boy was trying to hold it all together but the little kwami knew better. Looking down at the now dim phone the little black kwami floated down to see what exactly it was that made his boy so upset. Tapping his little finger onto the screen –allowing it to brighten up- he read over the messages that he had gotten for both Alya and Nino. Once reading what they had said a small frown set upon his little mouth. Plagg glances over at his boy, "You want to talk about it kid?" Adrien shook his head not saying a single word to his kwami because he knew that if he did then he would lose all control of his emotions and that's the last thing he wanted right at that moment. "If you won't talk to me about it then talk about it with someone at least…your letting this eat you and believe it or not Adrien it hurts me to see you like this." Adrien didn't make any signs of moving from his position. Plagg glared at his stubborn blonde boy as he flew to the young boy's phone and started to tap away at the screen. Taking notice of the constant movement in his hand, Adrien sat up to see what his kwami was doing, only to see him tapping one last time on his phone screen.
"What are you doing Pl─" Adrien's voice cuts off when he heard a voice coming out from his phone.
"Hello?" Looking down at his phone he noticed that Plagg had actually dialed a number, not just any number but Angel Dupain-Cheng's. "Hellooo~" Snapping out of his daze Adrien turned a glare towards the black kwami as he quickly answered the other person.
"Ah…h-hello," Adrien's words stuttered out.
"Adrien…is something wrong?" Angel asked in a more hushed tone.
"Ah…mmm…not really…"There was a pause as Angel considered the boy's words. Adrien was able to make out whispers in the background.
"Who is it?" Asked a male that sounded to be right beside her.
"It's Adrien seems like something's wrong." The older woman answered the male. "Mari, I'm going to use your terrace. It's an important call 'kay?" Adrien was able to hear Marinette's faint voice replying. "Okay" towards her sister. After a few minutes of shuffling, rustles and a clank Angel finally directed her attention back to the phone call.
"Okay, so spill it blondie, what wrong? And don't tell me it's nothing since I'm more then positive that Plagg was the one that dialed me for you." Angel said as Adrien can only imagine her crossing her arm across her chest. A small smile sketched onto his lips.
"Marinette is really lucky to have you as a sister." Angel was slightly taken aback by Adrien's words but a tender smile worked its way into her lips as her shoulders slightly relaxed.
"You know you can also consider me as a sister too Adrien," Angel said as she made her way towards the railing of the terrace. Adrien's eyes widen at Angel's words not really expecting her to say that. "Now really what's going through that mind of yours? That even Plagg though you need to talk to me." Adrien bit his bottom lip as he tried to form the words he wanted to say to the older woman.
"I heard that Marinette was released from the hospital…but she still doesn't remember…" Angel blinked a few times before she finally connected the pieces.
"Oh, chérie (Oh, sweetheart)," Angel said as she turned her body around allowing her back to rest against the railing. "Just because she still can't remember doesn't mean she never will. I'm sure Alya told you and Nino that the reason as to why Dr. Lebeau discharged Mari from the hospital; it wouldn't do her any good if she were to stay there since there wasn't anything there to help her remember about your father, you and your other alter ego." Adrien allowed the words to sink in understand what Angel was trying to tell him. However, it didn't change the fact that it worried him that there would be a chance, that slight chance that she would never remember him. Not only as Chat Noir but as him, Adrien Agreste, the lonely boy that no one seems to care about –Or so he thinks-.
"But what if she doesn't," Adrien said in a whisper trying to force the words to come out of his mouth. "What if she doesn't remember me?" Angel gave a down casted look as she stared at the ground. She understood what the boy was going through…well semi understood.
"Well, then create something new," Angel said with a soft voice as she turned her gaze up into the dull illuminating stars that were painted on to the night sky of Paris.
Angel-chan: That's it!
I want to give a HUGE thank you to Aslea from AO3 for actually offering to translate all my horrible French into actual purrfect French. Hopefully they will keep working with me till the end of the story but if they can then hey at least it lasted as long as it did.
I can't promise that chapter four will be up soon I haven't started working on chapter five since I just finished chapter four yesterday.
