After a bit of clarifying others' identities. It was time to answer some questions.
Four kwamis float in front of Tom and Sabine. "Okay, what are you creatures?" Sabine asks
"We're kwamies. We're what gives superheroes their superpowers." Tikki explains
"We are bound to a piece of jewelry called a miraculous. They are all different types of jewelry. Like my holder, has a bracelet…" Wayzz starts
"...Mine wears a necklace…" Trixx continues
"...my once oblivious sunshine boy wears a ring…" Plagg continues "Plagg!" Adrien shoots daggers at him.
"... and your daughter, aka my chosen, wears earrings."
"Also, why is Chloe here? Don't you not like Chloe?" Tom expresses thought
"Well… At first I didn't, then when Chloe seemed to put in the effort to be nice, I became hopeful that she would be better and she backed it up by helping with Malediktator, then I had to make a hard choice and Chloe… didn't like it." Mari starts explaining
"You can say that again." Chloe buts in.
"Then she became extremely bitter and what I thought was Chloe betraying us by teaming up with Hawkmoth, now Shadowmoth was actually trying to become a double agent." Mari then explains.
"Then I became major bratty when Zoe, my half sister came to Paris. I was just scared that I was feeling replaced. And when Mari gave the Bee miraculous to someone else, I felt replaced and useless. However, after taking down Lila, I told Mari about my little double agent job and Zoe… gave me confidence. To be… who I am, not just mini Audrey who looks up to her whenever she can. I am learning who I am." Chloe finishes
Sabine puts her hand on Chloe's shoulders. "Great job sweetie. If Marinette is okay with you being here, you're welcome here anytime."
"Thanks Ms Dupain-Cheng." Chloe thanks her
"Call me Sabine please." Sabine asks her
"Of course."
"Wasn't there more heroes than four?" Tom observes
"Yes there is." Marinette says "They aren't just permanent members. Speaking of kwamies and miraculouses, I am the new guardian. Well, not a hundred percent, but I am a guardian." Mari explains
"Guardian of the miraculous?" Sabine asks in confusion
"There was a guardian before M'lady, however when Chloe started her double agent and teamed up with Shadowmoth, Master Fu, the guardian had passed the miracle box down to Princess. In which erased his memories." Adrien explains
"But wouldn't that mean our baby will have to lose her memory at one point too?" Sabine asks, about to cry.
"Unfortunately, yes. But, we don't like to think about that." Mari explains "Since I own the miraculouses I have to care for all the kwamis. If you hear many voices in my room, it's them."
"I see. But why tell us? You explained that the charms are useless now. And why now of all times?" Tom asks with serious concern
"Well, nowadays I am finding it harder and harder to keep my identity secret. I tried a lot to do so today, but I could barely do so. If I tried hiding from you longer, you could have figured it out yourselves and feel betrayed. I wanted to tell you on my own terms because of it." Marinette explains
Tom and Sabine hug their daughter. "We're glad that you chose to be open with us." Tom says and Sabine nods. Sabine then realizes something "Wait, is that why you didn't want to go to Aunt Shoui's place?" Marinette nods "But you were with us on the trip." Sabine points out. "Well that's because I gave the miraculous to Alya right before we left." Mari explains.
There was some chuckling until Adrien got a notification from the Gorilla. I'm here, we gotta go back home.
I gotta go home, see you guys at school tomorrow.
"Bye Adrien!" They all called
"Looks like it's getting late." Alya notices.
"See you Marinette!" Chloe, Alya and Alya leave Mari's house.
With Adrien
Adrien gets out of the limo with determination. This time, I am going to ask him. Adrien storms to Gabriel's office and slams the door open
"A-Adrien! WHat are you doing, slamming the door open?" Gabriel fiercely asks his son
"I want answers father! I learned something about myself that is terrifying. Why couldn't you tell me. You've held this secret for 8 years now! Why couldn't you tell me?" Gabriel blancs, does he know I'm Shadowmoth or, no. EIght years? Oh. That. Half sentimonster
"Adrien, I. I'm sorry, I couldn't bring myself to tell you. You were young, and at the time sentimonsters weren't public knowledge. You wouldn't have understood yet."
"Then why didn't you tell me when Mayura joined Shadowmoth, people knew about sentimonsters then." Adrien bursts back.
"I...I didn't know how to tell you. Speaking of how, how. How did you find out?"
"Ladybug and Chat Noir told me, apparently they learned I was half sentimonster when they went to the past after seeing a Mayura-like figure in the cameras of Solitude." Gabriel blinked. Shit! They might know I'm Shadowmoth.
"They… they told me to tell you that they will get the miraculouses back from Shadowmoth. They're sorry that he took them from you." Oh. Phew, they know that I had them, that's concerning, but at least they are not considering that I still have them.
"C- can I see where my amok is?" Adrien asks. Gabriel nods and shows him Emilie's wedding ring after taking it off. Adrien takes it for a second
"Why are you wearing Mom's wedding ring?" Adrien asks
"To be honest, Felix stole mine. According to your Aunt Amelie and Felix I am not part of the family." Gabriel admits
"Oh, I see. I'll talk with Felix next time I get it. Here it is back. It's more important to you than it is to me." Adrien gives Gabriel the ring back.
That Night, everyone slept safe and sound. For a while actually.
