A message from Wysteria!
Thanks everyone for being so supportive as I write. Sadly, this is the finale for the fanfic, but that does not mean I will stop writing. New fanfics will be up shortly. This chapter will be a little slow, up until the very end.
Adrien's POV
We defeated Hawkmoth. We defeated... my own father. It was as if the last part of me had just been destroyed. I watched as the police carted him off to jail, and just like that I collapsed. How would I move on from this? A small voice spoke up from behind me.
"Adrien? I'm going to put Hawkmoth's miraculous on. I want to speak with his kwami, maybe find out some more information." I nodded, refusing to look at her.
"Adrien? Are... are you ok?" I nodded again, this time looking at her to assure her that I was fine. I hated when people worried about me. I didn't want to cause them the emotional pain. But as our eyes met, I broke. I couldn't lie to her. Tears began to roll down my face. I couldn't bear the pain, but she made it bearable as soon as she walked over and wrapped her still chained arms around me. I laughed a quiet laugh, and Cataclysmed the chains for her. The chains falling to dust calmed me somehow, and the tears slowly came to a stop. Alya, Chloe, and Nino finally joined us, haven woken up and detransformed. I was the only one still transformed, but it was already wearing off.
"Thank you everyone for being here. I suppose you can keep your miraculouses, as long as you use them for good." I said to them.
"Yes! Thanks dude!" Nino responded, while Alya and Chloe nodded in thanks. But Alya still had a question.
"Marinette? You are Ladybug?"
"Y-yes... I'm really sorry I didn't tell you. I was just worried that if Hawkmoth akumatized you he would find out my identity or... or..."
"Hey, girl, it's ok! I completely understand! You were trying to protect me. I'm so glad you are my friend."
"Thanks Alya!" Marinette said, happily. I gave her a nudge and pointed to Hawkmoth's Miraculous.
"Weren't you going to use that to see what the kwami has to say?" I asked.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot." She answered, taking out her earrings and putting the brooch on. A bright light filled the room. Her eyes flew open and seemed to glow. Her hair flew out of its normal pigtails, as a wind seemed to travel through the already cold house. That's when we saw it.
"Hello, master." Came a quiet voice.
"No, please don't call me master, my name is Marinette!" Came Marinette's sweet voice.
"Hello, Marinette. How may I serve you?"
"You do not have to serve anyone any longer. We will give you a break, ok? We will take you back to the master." I could see the little Kwami's eyes widen from across the room.
"Really? Thank you! My name is Nooroo." Said the small Kwami.
"Nice to meet you Nooroo!" Marinette spoke politely, giving the kwami a smile.
-Time Skip-
Marinette had taken off the brooch, and I had detransformed. We let the kwamis have a small reunion, before we began to walk to Master Fu's. But then as we rounded the corner and walked up to his shop, we all came to the realization. I turned to Marinette, and whispered,
"Do you think he will make us return the miraculouses since there is no evil left for us to fight?"
"I don't know..." She whispered back. But she walked in anyway with her head high. We waited outside, not wanting to face him, and soon Marinette walked out, one less miraculous. Nooroo had been returned, but she still had her earrings. We got to keep them, but what would we even use them for? What could we use them for? I went back to what my father had said. Something about bringing back mother with the cat and ladybug miraculous? I realized I was alone in this world, except for Nathalie and Marinette and my friends. I had no parents to watch over me. I needed mother back.
"Marinette, I don't want to do this, but please give me your earrings."
"Adrien? What do you mean?" Tears began to roll down my cheeks.
"I don't have a family left, Marinette, please give me your earrings so I can bring my mother back." Everyone looked at me, bewildered and hurt.
"...Adrien... don't do this." She seemed to whisper.
"Please, give me my mother." I almost yelled, and she flinched away.
"Adrien, no! For every action there has to be an opposite reaction! Bringing back your mother will take an equal away! Please don't do this Adrien!"
"You think I care about your opposite reaction, c-crap? Give me the earrings and no one gets hurt. I'm sorry, but I need a family." I muttered the last bit, before transforming myself. Alya, Nino, and Chloe transformed as well, but Marinette stood there stunned. They surrounded Marinette, and I thought they were on my side until they turned and faced me, going into protective stances, Nino with his shield over them all.
"I'm sorry."
