Adrien looked at the brooch and considered all the possibilities. Between losing his mom and sending his father to jail or losing Marinette and destroying Paris. There didn´t seem to be a good choice. He could just imagine Marinete right now waiting for him for patrol and how disappointed she would be in him to know he was deeply considering joining the bad guy. She wouldn´t understand and would feel betrayed. Not that she would be one to talk because if they would talk about betrayal, she went first with not trusting him and spoiling the trust he had on her. Still, he loved her and it didn´t matter if they were in a fight or not.
On the other hand, losing his mom and then his father to jail seemed too much and wasn´t exactly fair either. Why did he have to be the one suffering for doing the right thing? Becoming an orphan and being all by himself didn´t seem fair. If he agreed however then he would have his family back. he would feel his mother´s love once again, feel her hugs and warm.
Finally carefully looking at his ring and then at the brooch Adrien made his choice. He carefully took off his ring and hid it on his pocket before his hand grabbed the broch and putting it on his t-shirt. He whispered sorry between his breath.
His father smiled proudly to him. Adrien´s heart trembled seeing how proud his father of him taking on his footsteps. Petting his son on the back Gabriel told him
"Now to transform just say dark wings rise"
Adrien faked one of his smiles
"Dark wings rise"
His voice almost failed him but it apparently still did the trick as he didn´t know if it just the guilt or not but transforming into Hawkmoth made him feel completely different. It felt strange and didn´t give him the sense of freedom he got when he transformed into chat. in fact, it gave him the opposite feeling, he felt trapped.
"Now search around to see if anyone has negative emotions"
He father told him proudly.
Of course, his father´s power would be controlling others, he already did that with Adrien without the brooch. In fact, there was no power more fitted for his power than that.
Adrien could feel the countless number of people with strong negative emotions and it felt overwhelming knowing that at any given time so many people were there just waiting to be akumatized His father told him to focus on a particular individual, that would make it easier. So Adrien searched until he stopped when he recognized her. Adrien could feel her Marinette's strong emotions. he could feel inside him the despair and sadness she was feeling as if it was his own. He felt the exact moment she lost hope and the problem is that it wasn´t just in them but in everything. it was funny because inside Adrien also lost his hope too.
it hurt him to know he was the one that caused them but she would understand everything at the end or so he hopped
Adrien nervously and reluctantly against the nod in his throat, open his hands and commanded the butterfly.
"fly away akuma and evilaize that person "
Both Adrien and Gabriel spoke at the same time as the butterfly left.
This is the end of this part. I know I promised a sequel, but I don´t know. I might not have time to do it. Either way, if I do it, I will post the first chapter here. I loved this story but right now I don´t know if I´m able to continue. I apologize and hopefully will see you soon. Thank you for reading!
