Marientte was breathing hard, heart pounding as she looked to the roofs.
Where was he?
This was his route, Malin had to be here somewhere.
Or maybe she should've just waited for him to come by because he always visits after his patrols and-
"Marinette!"
She turns sharply, sighing in relief when she saw the fox rushing to her. "Thank goodness you're ok!" he cried, catching her when she charged him. He buried his nose into her hair, clutching her tightly. "Thank goodness you're ok," he repeats.
"A-Adrien," she breathed shakily, quivering in his arma. "Ju-Junno, my, my mirac-"
"I know," he utters, squeezing her. "I, I came across someone that was using it."
She stiffened in his arms, drawing away to look at him with wide eyes. "W-what?!"
He nods stiffly, grimacing. "Does the name Pavone Bianco mean anything to you?"
She shakes her head.
"He said he was the previous peacock user, that you... that you stole from him?"
She felt a... a stirring, something drawing her to the portrait of the woman. Adrien's mother... A single touch, it opened, a hidden safe echoing it. Marinette's eyes locked onto a gleaming blue jewel.
Her hand moved on it's own.
When she left, he safe was jewelless.
Marinette flinches, shrinking down in his hands. "Marinette?" he asked.
"It's ok! Don't freak out! I'm not going to hurt you."
She licked her lips, uttering, "I, I think I know who he is..."
"I'm Juuno, kwami of the peacock miraculous, and I need your help. Please."
"Who is he?" Malin demanded.
"Will you help save my friend Nooroo?"
"You, your father," she managed out, tensing in his hands. "Yo-your father is, is Pavone Bianco. He's the one that has Juuno..."
"I... uh, ye-yes. I'll, I'll help you save Nooroo."
He's the one that had Juuno.
He had him again.
I don't think I've seen anyone write out peacock!Gabriel, so decided to do it here!
