But enough drabble, let us get to this chapter
The ambulance arrived quickly, Gabriel was put on a gurney and moved him up on the ambulance.
Adrien tried to get in with him, but the paramedics stated that they had no room to allow him on.
"It is ... Alright. I will see you in ... a ... little bit." Gabriel said with a smile despite the strain on his body. The ambulance doors closed and the vehicle raced off to the hospital.
The four teens sighed in relief now that everything was okay.
Moments later Tikki and Plagg came back with a severely beaten up Purple Kwami.
"I have been waiting thousands of years for that." Plagg grinned. "It felt as amazing as eating cheese."
"While I am normally opposed to such things, I will agree that this was enjoyable." Tikki said with a bubbly grin.
Evvil tried moving but could move out of the black cat's grip.
"Is there some place we can put him? We can't exactly leave him to roam around and cause trouble." Tikki asked the teens.
Nino looked into his bag, searching for something to hold the creature. Luckly for everyone he happened to have a quarter full jar of grape jam in his bag. He pulled out the jar and opened it.
"Put him in here." Nino said as he motioned to the jar.
Plagg tossed Evvil into the jar, and Nino quickly sealed it. Leaving the creature trapped with sticky jam.
"Let me out of this thing you brutes!" Evvil threatened as he banged on the glass jar. His demeanor no longer threatening to the teens.
"Should I poke holes in here? Do Kwami need to breathe?" Alya asked curiously, still fascinated by the creatures.
"He should be fine for now, we can poke hole in there later." Tikki said, not wanting to deal with that purple kwami.
Nino casually tosses the jar into his bag and zips it up, ignoring the now muffled shouts of the angry evil Kwami.
"Since this is all settled, can we head to the hospital? I want to see how my dad is doing." Adrien asked, his eyes showing his eagerness to hurry to his dad's side.
Marinette grabbed Adrien's hand.
"I think we can get there just before visiting hours end if we hurry." Marinette said with a sincere smile.
Adrien then began hurrying to where his dad was, dragging his girlfriend along, who didn't seem to mind the unintentional arm yanking. The two other teens were in tow behind them.
The group quickly made it to the hospital just as the sun was setting over the city.
Adrien ran inside, and made it to the information desk.
"I...Need to know... What room Gabriel Agreste is in." Adrien said as he gasped for air.
"I am sorry, visiting hours are over, you are going to have to see him tomorrow." The attendant said dismissively. She had dealt with far to many annoying people today, and was just done talking to them. She was in her thirties but looked like she was in her late forties.
Adrien felt his heart sink at the news. The teens began to make their way out of the hospital, except that Marinette was not just going to take it. She turned back around and went up to the attendant.
"My boyfriend has been worried sick about his dad, and he along with all of us ran over here in order to see him. Just let us see him for a few minutes, please?" Marinette pleaded.
The attendant looked at the girl as she pulled kitty eyes on her. The woman may have been exhausted and done with people, but she couldn't say no to this innocent girl's eyes.
"Room 304, you have ten minutes." The attendant gave in.
The teens turned around as they heard the attendant. Adrien gives his lady a kiss on the cheek.
"I owe you." Adrien said with a smile.
"Ill add it to your tab." Marinette teased as they made their way to the room.
They opened the door to see Mr. Agreste siting up on his bed looking at the door. He was bandaged up on his arms and legs. His head had a few bandages on him.
"Dad, how have you been?" Adrien asked as he approached his dad's bed.
"Aside from the injuries, and finding out I have the physical body of a sickly 60 year old, I think its the best I have been in a long time." Mr. Agreste said with a smile.
"Its good to see you they were able to help." Marinette said with a soft smile.
"Yes, Though I am going to have to be in here for a few weeks. Apparently, my body has gone through a lot of strain. Considering everything that has happened, it is Miraculous that I am still alive." Mr. Agreste said with a light laugh.
The teens looked at the man with shock, the stern, cold Mr. Agreste that they had seen had just made a corny pun. Adrien stifled a laugh. He knew his love of puns came from somewhere.
"I am guessing that you didn't know I enjoy a good pun. I should have figured, that purple creature has kept me trapped in my own mind for a long time." Mr. Agreste said now more serious. "What happened to that little troublemaker anyway?"
Nino pulled out the jelly jar that the Purple kwami was in. Mr. Agreste stared into the eyes of the evil little monster and began laughing. "Looks like you are in a Jam you little pain." He taunted.
"Pass me the jar." Mr. Agreste said with a bit of a smirk. Nino handed the man the jar, and he began to shake it vigorously. The kwami bounced up and down for a full minute, banging against glass, the metal top and leftover jam. After he stopped the Kwami was clearly disoriented.
"You will... Pay for.. I don't feel so good." Evvil said as he did his best not to blow chunks.
Mr. Agreste gave the jar back to Nino.
"Make sure that cretin doesn't get away. He is nothing but trouble." He said sternly to Nino. Nino nodded as he put the Kwami back into his backpack.
"May I ask how you and Evvil knew each other." Tikki said as she popped out of Marrinette's purse.
"Tikki, now isn't the time to ask this. He has been through a lot." Marinette said trying to pacify her small Kwami.
"It is okay Marinette, I will explain Everything." Mr. Agreste said firmly.
(Point of view, Gabriel Agreste.)
It was a little over 11 years ago, Adrien had just turned four years old. I was beginning to make my name known in the fashion industry, though I made sure to make time for the people in my life.
My Wife, bless her soul, took care of all the things I couldn't while I was struggling to make my name in the fashion world. But when I could finally reward her for sticking with me, she lost her life due to a car accident.
I was completely distraught, the loss of my wife, my muse, left me in disarray. I couldn't come up with new ideas for my designs. I was losing funding, I was up to my neck in bills. I was falling fast, I had to work more and grew distant from my own son. But no matter how hard I worked, i could not make enough to pay the bills. Things were going so awful, I thought about giving my son up for adoption, so he wouldn't be burdened by my debt. It was at that moment, that the purple Kwami flew into my office window. I was stunned, terrified, convinced I had finally gone off the deep end, but the creature simply introduced himself.
"I am Evvil, I have seen your troubles, and I understand your pain." The Kwami said with a calm voice.
"Wh-what are you? What do you want?" I asked nervously, unaware of the creature's intentions.
"Oh Gabriel, it isn't what I want that matters, it is what you want. I can help you, I can bring you everything you desire. Just tell me what you want, and it shall be yours." Evvil said in a soothing tone.
I don't know why I trusted the little deviant, but I was so desperate, I didn't want to lose my son. I was willing to hear him out.
"I want to be able to provide for my son the life he deserves." I said as I felt tears stream down my face.
The kwami smiled as he gave me a butterfly tie.
"Put this on, and I will grant your wish." The kwami said with a smile.
I put it on without hesitation, at that moment, the Kwami went inside of the tie, and I lost control of my body.
Evvil kept his promise for the most part. He quickly got me out of debt, he was a genius in business and in practices. Like he had millennia of experience. Eventually by Adrien's 5th birthday. I was one of France's most wealthy benefactors.
I simply watched from my mind as he took care of everything, only seeing glimpses of my son throughout his life. I was simply an observer in my own body. I pleaded with him to let me have control back, but he threatened to end my boy if I didn't behave. So I let him be, wishing I could find a way to break free.
Eventually, something changed. It was around a year ago just before ladybug and Chat noir arrived. Evvil had accumulated several plots of land all over Paris using the wealth he had acquired from my business. He then stocked them full of butterflies. It was short time after that, that he first transformed. I was Hawkmoth for the first time, he turned one of the butterflies in the room and sent it outside. It was as if he was expecting someone to fight it, and sure enough that was when you two heroes appeared. That was his real goal, your Miraculous.
(Back to normal Point of view)
Adrien was surprised by the tale. He vaguely remembered his mother, but he never knew of the financial issues his dad faced during that period of time. The reason he was so cold.
"While it isn't a great story, it does have a good ending. I broke free thanks to my son." Mr. Agreste said as he smiled at his child.
A nurse opened the door suddenly.
"I am sorry to stop your visit, but Mr. Agreste needs his rest. Please come during visiting hours tomorrow." The nurse said, sad to force the kids to leave.
"Ill see you tomorrow." Adrien said as he began to move from his father's side.
Gabriel made a sudden move and hugged his son from behind. Adrien stopped as he felt the arms around him.
"I am sorry I haven't been there for you when you needed me. You grew up to be such an amazing young man. Your mother would be so proud of you." The man said as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Thank you... Dad." Adrien said as he did his best to hold in his tears.
"I love you, son." Gabriel said just before letting go.
Adrien turned to his father and smiled brightly, the tears he held back now dripped down his face.
"I love you to dad." Adrien said with a smile across his face.
The teens then left the room and made their way out of the hospital. It was now night time, and the street lights were now on.
"Wow, It is late. We should be heading home." Nino said as yawned.
"I have to agree with you on that, a lot has happened. Lets pick up on this tomorrow." Alya agreed.
The two teens said farewell to Marinette and Adrien. Nino left the jar holding Evvil to Adrien. Adrien placed it in his bag, so he could deal with him later.
"Come on My lady, I will walk you home." Adrien said with a smile as he offered his hand to the dark blue haired girl.
"Why thank you." Marinette said as she happily took his hand.
The two walked down the street as they held hands.
"Today has been crazy. We defeated Hawkmoth, saved my dad, saved Paris, and we are both alive to see it." Adrien said with enthusiasm.
"We did go through quite a lot. It almost doesn't seem real. I feel like this is a dream, and we could wake up any second now." Marinette said slightly exasperated.
Adrien stopped for a second and pulled the teen girl close to him.
"I don't think my wildest dreams could ever have me be this happy." Adrien said as he leaned in to kiss her.
Marinette teased the him for a sec by not kissing him, waiting for him to start to lean back before placing her lips on his.
The two placed a lot of passion in the kiss, releasing the Tension of saving France, their friends, having had to defy the odds. All of it released as they pressed their mouths together.
In the night sky, two butterflies fly through the air. Not with the swarm of white butterflies. These two were different, something unique. The two were as black as the night sky. The two dark butterflies landed on a ledge and began to transform. one had transformed into the dark version of Ladybug, Miss Fortune.
The other had transformed into the evil version of Chat noir, Chat Blanc. the two looked from the edge of the building.
"It seems that we are the last of our kind." The evil ladybug said with a scowl.
"Maybe not, what if we free our master! If he is free, there will be more of us. We can take vengeance on those do gooders." the Evil chat said with cheshire grin.
The two stared at the moon, perhaps the city was not as safe as it once though
