Chapter 10: Redemption

Tony's head throbbed, all he could hear was a mixture of ringing and screams. What the hell happened? One second he was about to bring out a paper to let them sign and make it an official that they had agreed to the accords. The next second he's on the ground with screams and hints of gunfire going off.

Looking around he saw the boy, from where he was now it looked as though he didn't fare too well. Crawling over to him the Tony looked at the wounds that he had accumulated. The blonde was laying on his side, his while overshirt was shredded while the black shirt underneath had holes revealing burns. It looked as though his arm was fractured at several points as well, with the bone not breaking the skin but making an indent for sure.

As the inventor checked for more wounds, a massive truck broke through the barricade driving straight toward him and the blonde. Tony looked at the boy, realizing that their was a great possibility that moving him would make the wounds worse, helpless Tony stared at the truck desperately trying to figure out any kind of plan. Step in front of the boy and take the hit… NO! It would still hit him. Move the boy… NO! that could make his condition worse. The throbbing got worse, he couldn't think, couldn't move.

Tony closed his eyes awaiting what was to come. He could hear the truck get closer, smell the odor of the diesel the truck used to move. It never came. He didn't hear the truck anymore. Slowly opening his eye's Tony saw the truck. Inches in front of him sat a pause symbol. What the hell? He could hear someone clear their throat behind him.

Looking back what he saw surprised him to say the least. The girl wore a black and white jumpsuit that was skin tight. Starting at her feet, the suit was white but right below the knees sat three black stripes going all the way around her legs. From the knee's up it was a constant black, with several symbols made with white stripes. At her waist sat a thin white line going all the way around making a symbol similar to that of a button to turn on a computer. On her chest sat a the wifi symbol that was white with the hint of pink in it. Right below her elbow sat the same pattern that her lower legs had. White with three black stripes closer to the elbow. She also held a phone in her hand. The girl calmly looked at Tony before saying," Aren't you going to call a suit of armor or something along those lines."

~Meanwhile with Hawkmoth…~

I can't let anything happen. I can't let anything happen! I CAN'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN! He was racing toward the press conference. He can't let any of those terrorists hurt Adrien. Leaping from another building he was finally in view of it. Many of the windows were shot out. Smoke billowed out from the higher windows. "Lady Wifi have you seen Adrien Agreste anywhere?" he couldn't bear to lose another. It would kill him, Gabriel doesn't know what he would do if he lost him.

"Yes Hawkmoth, he was being protected by Tony Stark, however he was unconscious. Don't worry, Mr. Stark is getting a suit so he should be safe." Hawkmoth smiled, all he had to do now was fight off the terrorists. He would make amends with his son and Ladybug, and maybe have a talk with Mr. Stark.

He locked onto one of the terrorists, he was about the same height. His outfit consisted of a combo of camo and black, he wore combat boots with camo pants. On his upper body he wore a black bulletproof vest with a black undershirt, and he wore black combat gloves. In those gloves he held an AK-47 and from the look of him he knew how to use it. All in all he was intimidating.

"Hey lookie what I found, some weirdo wanting to die." Out from nowhere two other terrorists appeared. Both smaller than the first but both had the same equipment. The designer would need to decide his plan very carefully. If he wasn't careful Adrien wouldn't have a parents much less a missing mother.

The leader charged at Hawkmoth while the other two followed on either side, trying to flank the designer, simultaneously firing the guns at the designer. Pulling the blade from his staff he spun the staff dissolving the bullets. He needed to wait until they were close enough before executing his plan.

Once they got close enough Hawkmoth sidestepped the leader and brought his staff down on the man's head, rendering him unconscious. The other two ran toward him, as they got closer the designer pulled a blade out from the staff. As they got closer Hawkmoth edited his stance moving one foot in further forward than the other.

As soon as they were within ten feet of him he moved his hilt and blade so that they were facing either opponent. However he never got the chance as a green disc hit the man on the right knocking him out. Looking toward the source of the attack the designer found a short man with a green chinese style robe, the Jade Turtle.

"You must be the Jade turtle, the guardian of the Miraculous." He knew the role the turtle played, he's seen it in the book of Miraculous. He's seen the sacred texts and managed to translate them with a little help from nooroo, he would need to play his cards right if he wanted to help and not be a nuisance.

"I know who you are Hawkmoth, I know what you've done, but I know you want to help," Hawkmoth clenched his jaw, he couldn't know his Identity could he, if he did why hadn't he stopped him long ago. Jade turtle continued,"You don't want anyone to steal your city am I correct… we have a common enemy in this situation."

Hawkmoth chuckled,"you're right about that Jade, but know we have an opponent to face." The designer turned to the opponent just as a green shield knocked the man out. Why did Jade need to show him up like that. Looking back around he could see Iron Man firing his repulsors at terrorists all around him protecting Adrien while simultaneously fighting the enemy. That's good Adriens protected all we need to do now is make sure that Ladybug is safe.

~Meanwhile with Marinette~

Her head hurt like she was hit with a truck, she could hear screaming and gunshots. What...happened… looking around she could see civilians being attacked by terrorists, innocent people being attacked. She can't stand for this,"Tikki spots on!" Any protests from the kawami was unheard, dead set on saving people was her only concern. She threw her yoyo at the nearest terrorists knocking them onto the ground.

Out of nowhere a shocking sensation exploded on her back, making her shake beyond control. It seemed as though the pain in her head exploded, falling face first on the ground the last thing she could hear was words that terrified her.

"Attention all teams, we got the target." Target...what do they mean target. As the voice spoke more giving directions to the teams he had mentioned she decided to find out as much as she could. The voice was deep and rough, he probably smoked or was a smoker in the past. The darkness surrounding her vision got close to engulfing all of her vision, she didn't have much more time. "Copy that bringing target to extraction." That's what he meant… I-I'm the target, why? As her vision went black and she passed out the last thing she saw was Adrien being protected by .
