Summary: With all the reality warp and time alterting in Paris, somebody was bound to build up some resistance to it.
I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Enjoy!
How could he?
The person nicknamed Gorilla stared at his employer with shock.
Despite his grim and silent exterior, he did have a heart and that heart had made him show a bit of rebellion from time to time.
He started as a bodyguard for a small town shop but now he was a body guard for one of the richest kids in Paris.
He was proud of his job and would do anything to protect his client.
However, nothing could have prepared him for the man who he originally thought was doing the right thing by hiring protection for his supermodel son.
Gabriel Agreste was something else.
And that something else soon became clear to him in horrifying ways.
Gabriel Agreste was not like his previous employers, protection for his son was on a small fraction of what was really going on.
Every day, he watched his employer look away from his own son who clearly needed him.
Everyday, he watched Adrien smile disappear the moment he rolled up in the limousine to pick him up from school.
He heard Adrien pour his heart out in the backseat on many days and yet he couldn't say anything.
He couldn't say anything because he would promptly be fired and he had no money to sustain himself.
Once your fired from a celebrity no important person will look your way again.
But despite this, in the back of his mind, he wanted to do something for Adrien, he wanted to give him a little window to a normal life.
That's why he didn't really put up much of a fight when the boy begged him to detore from his schedual just a little bit.
It wasnt much and he could never say something to his employer but the way Adrien eyes lit up with that little glimpse of a normal life, made his job bearable.
It made Adrien life more bearable.
He had seen what no privacy does to a person in his line of work, Adrien was young but there would be a day where his father's controlling nature would be too much for the boy to bare.
And the only one who could say anything in this house was Gabriels assistant, Nathalie.
He thought the boy was doing well, he couldn't have been happier when Adrien found a girlfriend and the boy was practically floating on air from happiness.
But the look in his employers eyes when he found out his son was dating somebody he didn't approve off...
He would never forget the look in that man's eyes, he know shit was about to hit the fan and he actually thought about quitting right there and than.
But what kept him on was that Adrien needed all the support he could get, he was fortunate enough to be allowed into Adrien controlling schedual.
The boys father would barely allow the boy to see anybody and when he was allowed, it was only for a limited amount of time.
When he saw his charge transform into Cat Noir before his eyes, he was surprised but fearful, he had a sinking feeling in his gut that the world was going to end.
When Adrien came back into the house and he was called into his employers office, something about the man had changed, his eyes did not hold that 'there is still a father in there' gaze instead it reeked of madness.
Every alarm bell went off when he saw that gaze and he did what he could for the next few days to keep Adrien away from his father despite the man suddenly showing interest in his son and Adrien lapping up the attention.
But he could not stop Adrien from being Cat Noir and the boy had a duty as a protect of the city.
He had watched from the security room as Hawk Moth revealed who he was and sent his own son flying half way across Paris.
Until that moment, he thought the man was a father making sure his son was safe, the man showed moments of pride, the man had begun talking to his son one on one again, Nathalie was actually bringing life into the man's eyes.
But his perception of the man died in that moment.
What kind of man raises a hand to his own son and feeds on his emotional pain?
He felt the emotional pain from Adrien from streets away before the world went black for him as he was turned to stone.
And than he woke up.
With sweat pourinv down his face, he sat up on the bed that had been provided for him so that he would always be closer to his charge.
He put his large hands to his face.
Was that a dream?
No.
It was a warning of things to come.
Hawk Moth was his Employer.
Cat Noir was his charge.
Ladybug was his charges girlfriend.
Hawk Moth had been trying to find out Cat Noir identity since day one.
Ladybug may have sacrificed her happiness to go back in time, but she couldn't change a fix point in time.
One day, Hawk Moth was going to find our who Cat Noir is and he had witnessed with his own eyes how the man would react.
Absolute madness.
In that moment, the man would stop being a father and instead become a man who would do anything to achieve his own selfish desire.
Hawk Moth had already found out the identity of the other Miraculous holders, Ladybug couldn't stop her identity from being revealed to the man.
One day, Hawk Moth would either find out Ladybugs identity first and have somebody take her earrings in secret or even more twisted use his son to get closer to her to do so.
But why did he get this look of what would have been?
However when he thought about it, he realised that he was the only person qualified who could do something when the time came.
He had the power to take Adrien and run.
Ladybug was a teen who was taught to respect adults and know all too well what a powerful adult could do to her and her family.
Nathalie would never run with Adrien because she loved that monster of a man.
Everybody in town seemed geniuinely afraid of offending the man and was bending over backwards to please him.
However, he had no family or business to be used against him, he didn't need to be a bodyguard but he chose to be and he had access to Adrien 24-7.
Only he could get the boy away, even as a fugitive, he know how to cover his tracks and vanish.
He could save up money and split.
As Adriens Chofer and Body Guard, he could drive off with Adrien in the backseat, after he had disable security and changed the lincence plate of the vechile of course.
He could call Adrien out of class and deal with his charges kicking and screaming later.
And if Gabriel couldn't find Adrien, he would never find the Cat Miraculous, that man thinks getting both miraculous's would somehow wake up his wife.
Even if he could do that, how many sins will be on his hands? What would it cost to get to that point?
He didn't realise it by he had thought of a plan until morning and was taken out of his musing by his 3 am alarm clock going off, he had to keep his strength and figure after all.
He took off his clothes, grabbed his red boxing gloves and began to hit a bean bag in the corner, the walls were sound proof unless somebody went nuts with the houses giant sound speakers and even than, Gabriel had cameras all over the house so thst nobody could sneeze without the man knowing about it.
He did not believe for one second that Gabriel did not know about the wild party his son had, but it was because of the man's leanacy, that he thought Gabriel had grown a soft spot for his son.
Guess, he was wrong.
After working up a sweat, he began to skip with robe to work those muscles before heading to a nice relaxing shower.
The hot water hitting his skin, made his tense frame relax and than he got out and began grooming his hair before putting on his usually attire.
This appearence was provided to him by Gabriel, the man was very insistant that he maintained a very high standard of grooming.
The turtleneck under the suit, made wearing the suit hot specially in the summer time.
Everybody in the house, wore suits and nobody dared to tell the master of the house, not everybofy felt nothing when a heatwave hits and they wore a suit.
He made his way down the hall to meet Nathalie.
Seeing this woman, he thought that out of everybody who know Gabriel personally, she would able to put him on the right track but no.
She was the one who sold Adrien out to his father without a second thought.
She knew the man was Hawkmoth and for years she had watched her employer abandoned his own son in the pursuit of getting what he wanted and yet she still chose duty.
He would never forgive her for that.
And it was only through practise that he could mantain his emotionless gaze and not ask her why she chose a love that would never happen over the safety of the world and a child who was locked up by his own father.
Nathalie began reading Adrien's new schedual to him and once again, he was not surprised that Gabriel made sure the boy couldn't come in contact with his friends at all, only coming in contact with people the man approved off.
One girl who struggled with showing emotion because of her overbearing mother was pushing her to achieve and the other was basically being paid to keep Adrien away from Marinette.
He didn't see this before but looking at it now, it was pretty messed up.
He nodded when Nathalie asked if he got it and went to have his breakfast before Nathalie deemed it time to wake the boy up.
Even as employees Gabriel expected them all to be on strict diets and the chef's were only allowed to make what Gabriel approved off, so the joys of experimenting with food, had been completely sucked out of the kitchen staff.
They had sold their souls for money and the chance to continue serving the rich and cash in big paychecks.
He ate berries with milk before freshening up his breath and going to stand on cue for when Adrien appeared or Gabriel, whichever came first.
The warm heating brushed through him but at the same time, you could feel the emptiness, fear and desperating living in this house.
The source of all the negative emotions was Gabriel Agreste.
The man looked powerful but the man was the reason why this place will never feel like a home unless he changed.
Gabriel didn't even come out of his office but Adrien did and once again the boy was directed to eat alone, rarely was the man seen eating at the table with him.
No matter how many times he saw this, it still effected him to see Adrien ask for breakfast every morning with hope in his eyes only for it to go out like a light bulb when he was told his father wasn't coming.
The boy had everything a person could want materalistically but he knew Adrien would give that up in a heart beat if it meant his father could finally be happy again.
And that desire is what destroyed the world, Gabriel had broken down his own son and made him chose between the happiness of his own father or his own happiness.
Adrien was a child who's kind heart was used against him in the worst way.
The boy finished eating and Nathalie took his plate away, the boy was than directed outside to the limousine and he got in, he noticed Adrien had glanced back at the house but more specifically his own father office with a lonely look before getting in and having his ear talked off by Nathalie who was telling him his schedual for that day.
A schedual that did not include what Adrien would love to do for even five minutes, the boys life was so micromanaged that he couldn't even pick out a sock from a store.
The first place the boy had to be in was a photoshoot, his eyes wondered to Adrien side by using the driving mirror before him, he caught the split second on Adrien face when that word was mentioned.
It was clear to him Adrien was only doing modeling because of his father.
Once at the site, Nathalie left because there was no way she was going to stand for an hour in the heat wearing what she was wearing.
Plus she had to manage her bosses schedual as well so she took a taxi back.
It was really earlier and hardly anyone was around, it only got slightly better when they were finished, by now he would take the boy back to the limousine and drive him off.
He lead Adrien back to the car and he know enough about this car to make the camera in it freeze.
He thanked God for tinted windows because you couldn't tell if they were moving or not.
Adrien was confused on why they weren't moving but than he turned around and put something on his lap.
It revealed to be a single Chocolate bar, wipes and a breath freshener form the house.
Adrien was stunned.
"I'm driving now, I have frozen the camera." He revealed, further stunning the boy. "You have five minutes to eat the bar and clean up. After that five minutes, Nathalie or your father who could be watching may get suspicious if neither of us move. Give the wrapper and every residue to me when your done. Your clothes are searched but mine are not so it's safer. You can choose to eat the bar or not. If you choose not to eat it, I will stop immediantely and we can both pretend that this did not happen. However if you choose to eat the candy bar this tells me, that it's okay for me to try and sneak you something else during the day. I can try and let you see your friends even if it's for a few minutes."
It was in that exact moment he heard chocolate unwrapping itself as he drove.
Seeing his friends was probably what did it.
It looks like they had a deal.
And scene!
I just had to watch Cat Blanc even though I know it would give me a story idea. Here is a story before the chapter explosion. I really am off this site, starting today.
