**I've made sure my story fits together very well. I put a lot of spare time into this. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask away! Enjoy :)**(I don't own ?)
Chloe followed her senses to an air duct.
"Hm, I wonder if we can fit…"
"We can try, but we're gonna have to be super quiet, I just know-"
"HEY! You've escaped- Gorilla, get them!" Natalie and Gorilla ran down the hallway to reach the two in time, but they were a day late and a dollar short. Luckily, Adrien and Chloe both fit down the vent. They followed it quickly, knowing time was of the essence.
"If we keep traveling down, I'm sure we'll stumble across the basement, or at least the lower rooms. I know we have a basement, I remember traveling these as a kid, my dad would never know, but it got me some freedom."
They followed the duct to another opening. It was covered with a vent, when they looked inside, they saw a large room.
"This has to be it, come on!"
"Alright, watch out." Chloe set herself up before the vent and kicked as hard as she could. It sent the cover straight to the ground.
"Okay Adrien, hang onto me." She lifted him in her arms, and they flew into the large space.
"Wow, I have to hand it to you, son, I'm impressed. Not only did you escape, but you managed to find me." Gabriel emerged from the shadows as Hawkmoth, white butterflies fluttering around him.
"I've got friends in high places, father. Not that you care. I've come for my Miraculous, and I won't leave without it."
"Is that so?"
Adrien ran towards Hawkmoth, only to stop in his tracks when his father revealed what was now on his hand. Plagg appeared next to him, looking miserable.
"I'm sorry, kid. As long as he wields me, I serve him. And he sucks, he doesn't feed me hardly enough cheese."
"SILENCE. Adrien, come get your miraculous if you can…."
Hawkmoth struck the ground with his cane, and the butterflies that were calmly flitting about began to dive straight for him and Queen Bee. They ran to escape, and Queen Bee caught Adrien mid-sprint and carried him into the air, using her speed to evade the winged assailants.
"Very good, little bee. But you can only fly so fast for so long!"
"You're right, Hawkmoth, here, you deal with them!"
She flew straight towards Hawkmoth, who ducked as they flew straight over his head.
"Fools! They won't hurt me!"
"But they will distract you!"
Adrien revealed Hawkmoth's cane, now in his possession.
"No! My control!"
"Yes! I wonder what happens when they're in my control?!"
Adrien struck the ground, and this time, the butterflies swarmed and headed straight for Hawkmoth. In tandem, Chloe sent her top spinning at an alarming speed, faster than ever before. It picked up so much energy, the top sent a large wall of it straight for Hawkmoth, sending his back into the large window, that which made it possible for him to see Paris for his nefarious purposes. The butterflies clustered around Hawkmoth, trapping him in a tight hold.
"Sorry, we're too smart for you, Hawkmoth. Two against one just isn't fair, is it?"
"You'll pay dearly for this! Volpina is able to get to Ladybug, son! She's able to reach your Marinette!"
Adrien quickly grabbed for his ring.
"Funny how you sound like you're pleading for your freedom in exchange for information I already am aware of. I'll protect her. I always do, I always will. For as long as I live."
No time to spare. He slipped his ring back on his finger.
"You will never control me again, father."
"NOO!"
Adrien kicked him back, sending Hawkmoth through the glass and into the gray space behind it, shattering the window, sending shards through the air.
"Chloe! Let's get out of here!"
"Great let's go!"
Neither of them looked back as Chloe picked him up, and in an instant, they were in the air, back through the vent, traveling as fast as Chloe could go. They made their way through the house, running to the front door. Natalie and Gorilla weren't even close to keeping up. Chloe and Adrien made it outside, finally.
"We did it, Adrien. I can't believe how well that all worked!"
"He eased up on me last minute."
"Why...oh. Because he's your father."
"He couldn't keep up the villainous image for that long, and I was counting on it."
"Well I wanted to tell you, I still sensed sadness, and it wasn't just coming from him."
"Nope. My house is where they have to be holding the missing girls from the news reports."
"Right, I'll go find them. What's your next move?"
"I have to get to her, Chloe. Or I'll be too late and she will die. Get the girls to safety. We will meet up again soon. I have to get to Ladybug."
He put on his ring and out popped Plagg.
"Boy am I glad to see you kid!"
"Reunions later, buddy, missed you too, we need to get to the Eiffel Tower. Now! CLAWS OUT!"
Adrien, at last, had his Miraculous back in his possession. He was officially ready to take on whatever Volpina would throw at him, and he was pissed off.
