"Well, the box turned into an egg shape and that's what it is now. Hiding it is also difficult too. I wish I had somewhere to put it where it'd be safe and sound." she carefully brought the miraculous back to the new miracle box. She tapped the spots on it. The spots slid out and she dropped eaeach Miraculous in their respective holding place. She smiled. There was so much she needed to do. But now, she had him and maybe they'd defeat Hawkmoth one day.

Marinette turned her head slightly. To see the person who hurt her akumatized, she shuddered slightly. Everything came crashing down on her when everything seemed to settle in. She held her arms.

Unfortunately, Adrien had gone home because he apparently got in some trouble.

She lowered her head slightly. Horrified would be an understatement. She was Ladybug. She should be strong and confident. And never be afraid to ask for help. That's all Ladybug was after all. People's hope for safety. She was only fifteen. They didn't know her. Other than Cat Noir. She held put her arms for a moment, stretching them to make herself feel better.

She knew she didn't have it any worse if Elias picked on any other girls. She went to hold herself, but there was no comfort there. She was only human and for some reason, superheroes weren't really seen as human. At least she had Tikki, but sometimes, that wasn't enough. She found herself wanting to be closer to her parents like she had before she got the responsibility of being Ladybug. The bluenette refused to put her family in danger.

Everything around began falling apart. She knew she couldn't keep the act up forever. Eventually, she too would succumb to Hawkmoth's evil plans. She could on think of the worst. She went back to thinking about Lila. How did that girl get away with something like this for so long? She jumped onto her computer and did a little searching of Lila on her own.

"You left without permission, Adrien." His father had a stern look on his face. He wasn't pleased. Neither was he pleased about his own son dating some peasant girl. Although, for such a simple girl, he did love the talent she had. That Marinette girl or whatever would be..his apprentice one day. Just not today.

"I was taking care of Marinette," he protested.

"I can't have you missing photoshoots to take care of girl who dosen't share the same status with you. The public will think you'll date just about anyone. Break up with her."

'Break up with her.' He couldn't do that to Marinette. Or have her akumatized. Did his father really want to destroy his happiness that much? If only mother was here. She'd think differently. She'd let him be happy. He didn't want to upset his father of be pulled put of public school. Other than Chloe, Marinette was his third best friend. And she was Ladybug for crying out loud. "No."

"What did you say to me?"

"I said no," he held his arms up in defense. "I'm not letting Marinette get akumatized for Hawkmoth! She didn't do anything! Mother would hate you for this."

Hearing that from his own son made him angry. He lost his stoic look as it turned into a cold glare. "Nathalie," he ordered. "Take him to his room and lock the door. He'll learn to respect me."

Adrien backed away. With Gorilla behind him, he shod of felt trapped, but didn't. He leaped from the grasps of his bodyguard and darted out the door. There was no freaking way he was going to give in to his father. Plus, he was pretty sure if he did give in, his father would be monitoring ever single movement. He wasn't sure where he was going to go. Marinette's bakery was miles away. He heard his father call after him to get back there.

Nathalie and Gorilla were on his feet. He slid down to the metro area to try and loose them amongst the bunches of people there. But due to how popular he was, he couldn't exactly get that far. Though, he managed to slip past into one of the trains. He couldn't risk putting Marinette in danger for him running away. He casually tossed his phone at his screaming fans who literally trampled over each other to get their hands on his phone.

Except none of them knew his password. Though it was still a big deal to them.

He rushed off the train and climbed up those many stairs that he wasn't really running out of breath for. He just needed so badly to get away from everyone. Marinette and her family treated him like every normal human being. It was perfect. The poor blond boy couldn't even transform either. He supposed he could just 'visit' Chloe. But then again, he didn't like the thought of that blonde wrapping herself around him. He decided to take a different route. One where he didn't expect help from Crow and Smith.

After putting Elias back behind bars, Crow and Smith weren't fazed at all with these heroes. Sure it was strange to see a little magic here and there, but they decided not to question it. Lila was in the hospital to check for any wounds and then after that, she'd be arrested again and soon be put on trial.

Mrs. Rossi wasn't pleased with Lila. She thought she raised a little angel. But after hearing all of these allegations, she refused to step up for her.

And the officers couldn't blame her either. Some children made themselves like this. Lila was one to never think she'd get caught, but this time she did. And they were going to make sure she would learn her lesson and never get out unless she could truly change. Neither of them told their fears, but they were known to keep things under control.

Smith took out a picture of his litte sister. Marinette reminded him so much of her. Everytime, he saw the bluenette, all he saw was Marisabel's face. How she didn't get justice. That's why he chose to fight for justice. He wasn't sure of Crow's story either. He placed the picture back into his pocket. "Maybe we shod drive around and take our minds off of things," he suggested.

Crow nodded in agreement and walked outside.

Both investigators trusted the police unit there to take care of La when the doctors were done checking up on her. As well as keeping the two away. It was in the procedures as well.

Anyways, Crow took shotgun and Smith took the driver's seat as usual. He put the car into drive and drove off. Course they had seatbelts on and what not. Though, they saw that blond model running away. From what? Paparazzi? Or something else. Both investigators had the same thing in mind and let Adrien inside the car.

"What were you running from?" Crow asked him.

"My overprotective father.." all of the horrible things his own father did. He knew how much his father cared, but sometimes he needed to have someone there who he could talk to. He frowned to himself. "I don't want to be locked in my room again for running away," he admitted.

Smith glanced at Crow. He mentally took some notes. Negligence was a crime in deed, but this boy proved to be strong. He saw the conflicts in the young boy's eyes, but didn't push on it because right now, this boy was getting somewhere. Not at the Agreste mansion, but to someone he felt he could trust the boy with.
