Adrien burst into his dad's study, without knocking. Only Nathalie was there.
'Where is my father?' His voice was raised, so persistent.
'I-I don't know, Adrien, sorry.' She didn't look guilty in any way, only confused, so I dragged the boy out of the room.
'I know where he is. But you can't go there as Adrien. He can't think his son knows who he is. Please, transform, and the plan will have to go ahead now.'
He obliged, though Plagg didn't seem happy about it at all.
I watched his transformation. Ever since he told me his identity, I have been able to watch those magical seconds almost every time. He is flawless at it each time, and gets better, I swear.
'Come on' I lead him to the large painting and, without hesitation, pulled back the gold layer.
'I've seen this before... I got a book about superheroes in that vault. But, I lost it...'
'Yeah, um, I took it to the one who deserves it. But more about that later. What else was in that vault? Do you know the code?' I was desperate to know.
'Plagg opened it from the inside... A book on Tibet, A picture of my mother, a hotel receipt, a broach, some other crap...' None of it seemed useful. Oh well. The most important thing now was Hawk Moth.
I opened the vault door to reveal the large room to Adrien, and, no doubt, the Supervillain standing in the middle.
He immediately turned around. 'Ah, I see the bug is here with her little friend... Are you ready, Chat Noir?' He spat Chat's name.
'No.' Chat shouted firmly.
'No?' The man repeated questioningly.
'What did you do to Marinette here yesterday?' Uh oh.
'Chat!' my interruption failed.
'Ah. I see she has revealed our little secret. Cheeky girl.'
'She would tell anything to her boyfriend.' Oh. No. Please don't...
'Her boyfriend? Excuse me, sir... but I was sure her boy. friend. was another young man, much nicer and less rude than you.'
Not good. Very not good... This is treading on thin ice, very, very thin.
Chat looked at me for consolidation, only quickly, and I sighed in disappointment, having given up widtholding information.
'You mean... this young man?' With that, he took his ring off, and Hawk Moth's eyes nearly escaped his face as he saw his own son left in front of him.
He could only let off his own transformation, and wait for his son's response.
'So it is you' Adrien said flatly.
'Yes. Now. I believe I was promised a miraculous. Or else I will have to take it from you the same way I took Ladybug's.
My heart raced almost as fast as Adrien's must have.
