Chapter 2

Drip drip

That was the third time Adrien felt the taps of water on his forehead. He didn't know where he was but he had to assume it was somewhere in the sewers.

It reeked immensely.

He was just glad he wasn't still transformed as Chat Noir or his nose would have been destroyed by the smell.

" Adrien are you awake?" Plagg asked. Adrien could hear the relief and worry in his kwami's voice and almost wanted to laugh at the his rare caring side.

"Y-Yeah I'm awake Plagg." Adrien said as he let out a rough cough. He nearly barfed as he tasted his mouth. He needed to find a way back to the surface and help Ladybug fight the akuma.

Man who was he kidding. Ladybug probably had already finished the akuma off...she didn't need him.

"Hey Plagg, I thought I fell into the sewer water?" Adrien asked in confusion as he looked to the side where the water was flowing. He was apparently on some sort of sidewalk… well half on as his lower half was still in the water. He should fix that.

"I pulled you out." Plagg said as he flexed his tiny arms.

It took Adrien a couple moments to process that a couple more to answer to such a ridiculous answer.

"How on earth did you manage that?"

Plagg was taking a while to answer so Adrien tried to raise himself up and out of the water but found it near impossible to do so.

"Plagg...I can't move my body."

"Oh no..I was afraid of something like 't expect that though."

"What do you mean by that?"

Adrien was now worried. He didn't think the akuma hit him that hard to paralyze him...did it?

"Remember that strange samurai last night, yeah apparently when he got a hit on you his blade poisoned your body. I tried to fight it off once I noticed it but it got too strong."

"Is that why I was feeling so tired this morning?" Adrien asked Plagg.

"I suppose. I didn't notice you were infected until you transformed to fight the akuma."

Suddenly they both heard footsteps coming along the sewers. Plagg hid inside Adrien's front shirt pocket while Adrien was wondering who could be down here. Half of him was hoping it was his Lady but the other half knew it couldn't be. His body felt alarm….plus Plagg was hissing.

Hope soon was squandered as Adrien saw the strange samurai from the night before. This time he wasn't alone.

"Take the Kuroi Sora."

Two men went and picked up Adrien's arms and dragged him towards the samurai.

"You will now come home and fulfill your destiny Kuroi Sora."

They soon left with Adrien out of the sewers.

ooooo

A week later

It had been a full week without any signs of Adrien anywhere and Marionette was physically and emotionally tired. She sometimes dreaded going to school knowing she would picture Adrien there but only to get her hopes up. Everyday after school she had searched and searched and searched for Adrien as Ladybug with little to no success. She had even requested the help of Rena Rouge and Carapace to help her search but they came out with no luck either.

She was angry with her partner though.

Chat Noir hadn't been answering her calls for help all week. She was starting to wonder if he had given up being a superhero. It didn't sound like something he'd do but what else could she think that didn't end up terrible.

Carapace had landed on the roof that Ladybug was searching on and made his way over to her.

"Hey Ladybug.. maybe we should search somewhere near his home. Who knows, maybe his dad took him out of public school so he could homeschool him again."

"But..wouldn't that go against what Adrien wanted?"

"I mean ya but his dad doesn't really care about Adrien's wants. Trust me there."

Marionette stood there thinking for awhile over what Nino told her. It made some sense but why would Mr. Agreste go through all the trouble of a missing person report.

" Why would file a missing person report then?"

"Maybe so he wouldn't have to legit take him out with all the paperwork. Adrien is probably all alone is his room locked up!" Carapace got more angry the more he thought about his best friend.

" Be careful Carapace, you wouldn't want Hawkmoth akumatizing you."

"O-Oh your right. Sorry Ladybug."

"It's okay, but your right we should check the Agreste mansion. I'll call Rena Rouge to meet us there."

Once they made it to the mansion they broke into the room Adrien had. Marionette had only been in here like twice but it still made her excited. She could still smell Adrien here and it calmed her nerves...but only for a bit.

She looked over to Carapace and could see the disappointment in his eyes that his friend wasn't here.

"I thought maybe..just maybe he'd be here."

"We can't give up just yet Carapace. We need to get to Mr. Agreste maybe he's hiding him."

That seemed to have boosted his spirits as a smile grew on his face. They both turned to the window as Rena Rogue made her way into the room.

"Sorry guys I tried searching a little more on the east side of Paris but no luck. Hopefully we can get him here."

They all soon made their way deeper into the mansion. It took them a minute to find anyone until they ran into none other than Nathalie.

"What on earth, Ladybug!"

"We're looking for Gabriel Agreste. We know he's hiding something on his son's whereabouts."

They could all see as Nathalie stance changed from hostile to proper once more.

"Follow me then." She then turned and walked away from the three.

Ladybug followed after her hesitantly and Carapace and Rena Rouge soon after.

Nathalie led them to two big double doors and had the two guards that were standing there open them.

"He's in here."

Nathalie soon closed the door once the three walked into Mr. Agreste office. Though the office didn't look like one. It was dark and there were chairs that looked to be thrown at walls and papers sprawled across the floor. They could see about a half a dozen alcoholic bottles on the desk and some more on the floor. In the big high chair sat Gabriel Agreste..or what used to be.

"Nathalie I said I wanted to be alone." Gabriel demanded angrily.

"I'm Ladybug not your assistant."

Gabriel whirled in his chair to face Ladybug and the two others with her.

"What are you doing in my home?" Mr. Agreste demanded.

"We came here looking for Adrien dude. We know you have him here being homeschooled." Carapace answered back fiercely.

Gabriel Agreste let out a humorless laugh at such an accusation.

"If only I had kept him here in the beginning, maybe none of this would have happened."

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't have my son if that's what you came here to question me about. Why would I send out a missing persons report if I did."

Marionette figured that at the beginning but apparently Nino wasn't through questioning him.

"Well..I don't believe you. You've never had Adrien's best interest at heart so you could be lying."

Ladybug was about to tell him to calm down and be a bit nicer on his words but then Mr. Agreste angrily replied.

"Don't. You. DARE tell me I've never had my sons best interest in mind! I've always tried my best for him after his mother passed away! Get out of my house before I call law enforcement." Mr. Agreste stood from his chair and broke the glass he was holding.

They made their way quickly out of the mansion.

"Nathalie!"

It wasn't until the next morning did the worst news possible come when Miss Bustier turned on the Tv when the principal told all teachers to on the P.A system.

The missing persons report was soon taken off the news broadcast and in its place was in big bold letters.

'FALLEN STUDENT: Adrien Agreste'

That day was the day Marionette cried the most.

Tikki looked up towards her human in tears and couldn't help but let out her own tears. Not only for Marionette but for Plagg as well. She couldn't feel him anymore in the world. It was like Nooroo all over again. She didn't think she'd get through losing another Kwami again.

Since that day forth no one in class was happy. Not even Chloe.

Ooo. hope you all enjoyed :)
