A/N: Oh My God. I am so, so sorry I haven't updated for a couple of days. State testings came up, which I forgot about. And got piled up with homework and things to do so I couldn't get to writing. And when I did, I couldn't format it right. Until I did. But I'm rambling, so it's better to just say it's spring break now so there shouldn't be any complications for a while. Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Nino was taking in his surroundings while he hugged Alya.
They were the only ones from their class that wasn't in the hospital and were currently returning from a questioning by the police regarding the explosion when Alya chose speak.
"I hope everyone is still ok"
"Don't worry, I heard from some students that Ladybug went into the school a couple minutes ago." Nino began consoling.
"That's good at least help has arrived"
"That's right, try to think on the bright side."
"Ya, he bright side of the fire."
"Now Alya-."
"It's my fault this happened!"
"No it isn't, and neither is it Adrien's. No one is at fault."
"I was the one who figured out something was wrong, I should have found it and stopped them earlier."
"Everything that happened, happened. You can't change anything. But you need to know that you didn't do anything wrong."
"Nino...Oh My God!"
"What! What happened! What are you...staring… at."
Nino followed followed her line of vision and paled.
A car pulled up.
An unmistakable car,
It was the one Adrien arrives in.
Except this time Adrien didn't step out of the door this time when Natalie opened it,
it was an agreste.
Gabriel Agreste.
Everyone held their breath and prayed as he walked up to the principal.
"Mr. Damocles what on earth is going on here! I demand to see my son immediately!"
"I-I-I…I'm sorry he's not here at the moment because he's...umm...he's-"
"He's still in the building." responded Nino.
Bad choice. He thought as he watched come up to him and glare at him with so much force that if looks could kill, he would have been dead over a 100 times.
"You…" He snarled. "... so much for being his best friend… leaving him behind in the burning school to die!"
"Now wait you here just this second…" Alya started.
Completely forgetting who she was talking to.
"... We had no choice, the lockers fell and blocked half the class and we came to alert the teachers as soon as possible!"
"Plus Ladybug went inside to save everybody!"
"You don't have any right to talk right now! If anything happens to my son you will be held responsible!"
He was red faced by now.
Everyone too shocked to do anything, just stood there.
Even the Mayor. Who came to see if Chloe was alright and punish the one responsible for this, was terrified to disturb this conversation in case any consequences would fall on him just like Nino.
Students coming through the school made everyone turn. Many of them began shouting things like:
"Mom!"
"Dad!"
"I'm here! I'm safe!"
Or...
"Ladybug saved us!"
The parents of those students ran to them and hugged them in disbelief, silently thanking Ladybug.
But Alya and Nino didn't see their classmates.
"Oh god, why haven't they come out yet?"
Everyone else stood watching at the school intensely to see someone they knew come out.
Please come out son.
Even Gabriel Agreste began to plead.
It worked...
sort of.
"Daddy!"
They turned to see Kim carrying Chloe.
That's a site to behold. Thought Alya.
"Chloe! Darling!You're ok!"
Alya and Nino began rushing to everyone else and hugged them, sighing in relief. And just as they were about to question Adrien's absence, someone else beat them to it.
"Where is my son?!"
"He.. Uhh…Ladybug… Uhh-"
"What!"
"The floor collapsed under Adrien!"
Everyone was silent as they watched Chloe continue.
"He got stuck under some rubble, but Ladybug soon arrived and she began dealing with… it."
She quickly lowered her eyes to the floor as she finished her sentence.
"Your all despicable!"
They all gasped, hurt.
"You leave him behind. Blindly trusting Ladybug to save him. What if she doesn't? Huh? None of you deserve to be around my son. Next time I see him. He will be immediately taken out of public school-"
BOOM!
Everyone as fast as lightning turned around to look at the once burning school.
Now a demolition site.
They began shouting "Adrien!" and "Ladybug!".
And before they could go and search for them, the Police stopped them and immediately escorted them to the doctors to be checked out.
"No! I won't stand for this!"
"I'm sorry sir but it is against the law to let you through"
The chief firefighter and police officer stated to Gabriel.
"I will not comply to this atrocity. My son is out there somewhere and every second scouts aren't sent to search for him he could be dead!"
The fireman spoke.
"I'm sorry, but we need to conduct safety measures before we can go in-"
BOOM!
The second bomb sounded…
Everyone ducked and covered this time. Winds began to roar and dust was being sent into everyone eyes.
The explosion was louder and worse in the way that the previous demolition sight, filled with parts of the building and high piles of rubble were now like baking powder. Everything turned to dust.
When it was over, everyone screamed like never before.
The loudest belonging to Gabriel Agreste, who was blindly running into the danger in search of Adrien.
Please don't let him end up like Emilie. Please. He's all I have.
Memories of being with him, ignoring him, locking him up began to flash before his eyes as he ran, searching everywhere.
Nothing escaped his eye.
So when he saw the lock of blond hair and a pile of blood, the tears in his eyes burst as he crumpled to the floor.
No, please. No. Anything but this.
He began murmuring to himself when he felt the hand on his shoulder.
Natalie was standing there, covered in debris just as he was. Her hair was messed up.
Probably from running.
And she began to comfort him.
For a few minutes it was just them, they didn't notice anything else, they were too busy staring at the lock of hair when someone shouted.
It was Alya.
"Look, I think it's him."
They looked up and towards the direction in which Alya pointed.
Could it really be?...
"She's right!"
Natalie said as she stood up and hoisted Gabriel.
And he saw it, the flash of blond.
And … blood.
Everyone immediately began to run, tripping over stuff that was left over.
Mr. Agreste ran impossibly fast, it would have been impressive it weren't for the situation.
As he was getting closer he saw a dainty hand.
He saw blue hair.
He saw what he presumed was pigtails.
Ladybug?
But when he came up, all he saw was his son, and Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Both in critical condition.
He yelled for them to call for medical attention.
