Chapter 8: Eiffel Tower

It had been a couple days since the akuma attack on Marinette, and Adrien was as miserable as ever, with Nathalie gone; Adrien had to go to his father to get his after-school activities scheduled. Luckily for both, she completed a book of instructions for them to follow. Adrien's extracurricular activities were already scheduled two weeks out, and since his father was having trouble getting things organized with his personal work; she set up a business for the next month. Unfortunately, Nathalie's departure didn't stop Hawk Moth from continuing his plans...


Adrien wasn't adjusting very well, he missed Nathalie so much, not because she was his nanny, but because he cared about her and her wellbeing. Weeks before she left; she hadn't been feeling well, her coughing had increased, and her energy seemed to be drained. Despite her appearance she was normally passionate about her work; he just couldn't understand why she needed to leave.

"Adrien?" He looked up to see Miss Bustier standing in front of him; her arms were crossed over her chest, but she was smiling brightly. "Is my lecture boring for you?"

Apparently, she had been calling him to answer a question, several times, but he was so deep in thought he wasn't paying attention, "Désolé, Mademoiselle Bustier, I was just -ACHOO-" Adrien hid his face in his elbow.

"À tes souhaits!" A roar of pleasantries echoed throughout the classroom.

"Excusez-moi! Merci…" Miss Bustier walked over to her desk and came back with a few tissues, taking the tissues from her started another sneezing fit. "Apologies Miss; I don't know wh -ACHOO-!"

"Bless you!" The class answered again. Taking the tissues again; he scooted past Nino and excused himself.

Outside, Adrien properly blew his nose, "What is going on? I don't normally sneeze this much!" When he finished, he threw the trash away and started to head back inside. Upon reaching for the door, Adrien received an alert on his phone.

AKUMA ALERT AKUMA ALERT

Peering inside the classroom, Adrien saw that Mademoiselle Bustier was already evaluating the class, "Okay students, single file line. Head straight to the akuma safety room and don't dottle!"

Adrien managed to hide behind the door, just in time not to get hit by the door; he waited there until saw Marinette and snatched her up as she passed by.

"Marinette, what's going -ACHOO-!" She blocked her face when he sneezed, "Sorry, but something is setting off my allergies!"

"Yeah, something indeed!" Marinette turned her head towards the sky; she pointed to a large flock of pigeons in the air headed one direction.

Adrien signed, slumping his head down, "If we're going to pluck some feathers, then I need to get my allergy medicine from the locker room. Meet you on the roof?"

"See you in a bit" They both went opposite directions to transform.

When Chat Noir met Ladybug on the roof of the school, she was just in awe over the number of birds; "No sign of Mister Pigeon," They both looked for any other sign of danger, but all was quiet, "But… where are they all going?"

The assortment of birds were all in sync as they flew; they resembled a feathery cloud as they traveled slowly towards, "My house!" Chat Noir cried, instantaneously leapt off the roof and followed the birds.

"Chat!" Ladybug quickly snagged her yo-yo and threw it out, chasing after him, "We don't know what's happening, it could be a trap!"


The closer the two heroes got to the plethora of pigeons, crows, and sparrows, the more their flight pattern made more sense; they circled the building with such force, like they were summoned to be there. No matter how hard she swung, Ladybug just couldn't catch up to Chat, especially when he dropped down on all fours and began to galop.

It didn't take them long to reach the Agreste mansion, as they approached; Chat could see two figures standing on his roof, the two biggest offenders, Monsieur Pigeon, and Hawk Moth. Mr. Pigeon was waving his arms above his head, orchestrating the circular flight around over the house, "Ha ha! I knew an evil collab would work out! With my feathered genius and your magical jewels; we'll be unstoppable!"

"Chat Noir!" When Ladybug landed on the mansion wall she was also in awe as she saw the villains working together, "What is going on here?"

"Ah, my guests have finally arrived!" Hawk Moth announced himself proudly, while Mr. Pigeon was still controlling the birds overhead.

"Surprised Ladybug? Witness the beginning of the end of bird cruelty when my sidekick and I take over the world!" Making fists, Mr. Pigeon chortled loudly as he triumphantly commanded the birds to attack the duo.

While they were distracted with the winged creatures; Hawk Moth moved over to where Monsieur Pigeon was standing, looking over his shoulder, "Sidekick, good let me explain the next part of my plan."

"Thanks, but your services are no longer needed…" He grasped his victim by the shoulder, snapping his fingers. Within a blink of an eye, dark bubbles surrounded the pigeon man and soon he was released from the akuma, turning back into Xavier Ramier. Unfortunately, with the sudden and unknowing removal of his akuma, caused Mr. Ramier to become dizzy and topple off the building.

Almost immediately the birds stopped chasing the heroes around, flying off to back to what they were doing originally. "No!" From the top of the side fence, Ladybug saw the man falling, she blew past the troublesome birds and threw herself at Mr. Ramier, catching him before he could hit the steps.

"Bastard!" Now that the birds were gone, and the victim was saved, Chat Noir vaulted to the roof, where Hawk Moth was still lamenting. He made it to the top, then pointed his baton at the villain, "What are you doing here, Hawk Moth? In the market to buy new real estate?"

Twirling his cane around, Hawk Moth began to pace, "Wouldn't you like to know…"

Chat growled, shaking his fist, "Tell me!"

"What business I have with Gabriel Agreste is none of your business, boy."

The way he said his father's name was worse than when his father had said Marinette's name. It disgusted him, it turned him on the inside, but more importantly it enraged him. Chat Noir saw red when he joisted towards Hawk Moth, unfortunately causing him to trip over his cane and fall off the roof.

Luckily for him, Ladybug was still on the ground with Mr. Ramier, and caught him just in time; she remorsefully looked at him, "Are you okay, My Kitty?"

He wasn't paying attention, Chat was too focused on the purple devil that was standing on top of his roof, seriously what was he doing here? Chat Noir glared up at Hawk Moth, shaking his baton, "You coward! Come down here and fight like a man!"

"Says the child in a leather catsuit…" He maniacally laughed as he leapt and hopped his way down to the stairwell. When he got there, he spun his cane around, before placing it across his shoulders, "I thought cats always landed on their feet…"

Without thinking, Chat Noir aggressively pushed his way out of Ladybug's arms and aimed his baton like before, "Answer me! What are you doing here?"

"Catch me and find out!" Hawk Moth then retreated into the house.

"He must be after my dad!" Fueled with angry concern; Chat attempted to rush inside, but was halted by weight on his tail, "Marinette, what are you doing? Let me go, we have to go save my father!"

Ladybug was stronger than she looked; she managed to hold on tightly as Chat continued to get free, "Okay, since we're using our first names; Adrien, we need to think about this before we go in without thinking. This feels like a trap!" She finally let go as she pleaded with him to think for a minute.

"It feels like we're about to take Hawk Moth down, I'll scratch his eyes out if he touches one hair on my dad's head!" Chat cracked his knuckles before he bolted inside.

"Kitty, wait this is obviously a trap!" But it was too late, Ladybug was also about to head inside when she heard Mr. Ramier groaning in pain. "Mr. Ramier, what happened? What set you off this time?" She went back to check on him, picking him up off the ground.

After shaking off his confusion, Mr. Ramier straightened up and stared at Ladybug, "What, no nothing at all!" He put his hands up in defense, "I just stubbed my toe on a park bench, next thing I know I was hearing Hawk Moth in my head!"

Ladybug placed her finger under her chin, "That doesn't sound like him…"

"Oh no! Di-Did I do something wrong?"

Suddenly a crash could be heard on the inside, they both looked back, "I have to go, please get home safely!" She shooed him towards the palace gate before stampeding in after Chat Noir.


Inside, the two rivals were bouncing off the walls, literally. Between Hawk Moth using whatever means he could to get away from Chat Noir's destructive anger, the two of them managed to crack several holes in the walls and ceiling. They were using the walls to bounce off of to reach each other in the middle to sword fight. Unbeknownst to them, the force of their pouncing and fighting in the foyer started to do damage to the walls and glass windows; their feet and weapons also caused the floor to crack.

"Stop running away, you coward!"

Ladybug was stunned with awe, not sure where she could help or jump in; they were going too fast for her. Ladybug leapt up, taking her place on the chandelier waiting for an opening. Pushing off against one of the paintings on the wall, Hawk Moth landed near Gabriel's bedroom, "There!"

When she saw that Hawk Moth finally stopped jumping around; Ladybug yo-yoed him around the ankle before yanking him up in the air. Then, using her weight; she hoisted him upside down matching the chandelier he now hung from.

Chat Noir finally landed too, hanging off the curtain rod, "Why are you here? I won't let you hurt Gabriel Agreste!"

Hawk Moth growled, swinging his cane in an attempt to escape, "Curiosity killed the cat!"

"And satisfaction brought it back!" With a quick whip sound, Ladybug released the wire around Hawk Moth's ankle as Chat Noir aimed his claws directly at Hawk Moth, stabbing them in his chest and forcing him down on the floor.

With one foul swoop, Chat Noir removed his baton, twirled it around his fingers, then stabbed the ground right next to Hawk Moth's neck, "I'm going to ask you one last time, what are you doing here?"

Thinking that it was solid marble, Ladybug was shocked when his baton made it through, it was only a matter of seconds before the floor gave way; Ladybug managed to quickly yank Chat Noir by his belt out of the way of the cracking ground. They both watched as Hawk Moth disappeared into the darkness, there was no foundation underneath in the first place.

Ladybug was in shock, as much as she knew about Adrien; she never knew he had a basement, "Did you know you had a basement downstairs?"

"I had… no idea," Chat's anger was replaced with dread, through the battle; his father never came out to see what the commotion was, nor did he leave to check on him.

'Well duh, he heard the noise and stayed in hiding…yeah…' There wasn't time for that now, they had Hawk Moth trapped, "Let's go, it's time we end this, once and for all!" They both nodded as they jumped downstairs.


This was more than just a regular basement, it was like another world down there, they were suddenly transported to a large dark room with a high arched ceiling. There were lights barely illuminating the rest of the room, except for the beam of sunlight from a skylight. Ahead of them was a long catwalk that extended down the middle towards a circular platform that was covered in greenery, bushes, and flora. There also appeared to be trees that snaked across underneath, which emanated a green glow.

The two heroes landed on the runway following Hawk Moth, "You're done, Hawk Moth! Give us back your Miraculous!" He rose to his feet and angrily threw his cane towards Chat Noir, who easily deflected it with his baton; he jumped down and began walking with Ladybug.

Hawk Moth ran down the catwalk, he had nowhere else to go and he was running out of options, unless he wanted to jump down the abyss. Both retrieved their weapons as they followed Hawk Moth to the platform, taunting him along the way, "You know what they say. The wave of a moth's wing can set off a CATACLYSM!"

Hawk Moth made it to the end, where a giant pod was sitting in the middle of the stage; when he reached it; he turned and faced the heroes. "I would put that Cataclysm away if I were you... Adrien."

Chat stopped dead in his tracks, only one person was supposed to know his real identity and Hawk Moth was not that person, "How do you—" Smiling wickedly, Hawk Moth pressed a button on the pod, sliding it open to reveal, "Mother?" What was going on here, why was his mother in this basement, why was she here in this contraption and why did Hawk Moth know about all of this?"

Looking remorseful, Hawk Moth looks over at his wife, "I'm doing it for her, Adrien. For you. For us."

"Father?" Ladybug dropped her jaw in shock; watching as Chat stampeded at Hawk Moth, aiming his cataclysm directly at his stomach, "Why? Why? Why?" Fortunately for him, Chat halted just short of reaching him. "Why?"

Hawk Moth, after fully distracting his son, summoned his cane back to his hand and proceeded to hit Chat Noir, out the house, across town and all the way to the Eiffel Tower.

Four kilometers…That's how far Chat Noir traveled, Hawk Moth hit his own son across the city, four kilometers away.*

After Chat Noir hit the main part of the structure, he fell down and collapsed on the ground, shortly after Hawk Moth landed behind him. He quickly recovered just to see his Father hovering over him with such anger. "We can save your mother using your Miraculous and hers!"

Fearful of his next move, Chat backed away unsure of what to do, "No, just stop!" He was in tears, how could his own father do this to him, and Paris too?

"Don't listen to him!" Ladybug made an appearance right after, landing next to the villain, "You know there be a terrible price to pay in exchange!"

Hawk Moth growled, pointing accusingly at Ladybug "If she really loved you, she'd let you save your mother!"

"Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!" Chat Noir screamed; all this was too much to handle. On the one hand, he loved his father and he wanted to be with his mother again more than anything, but Ladybug was right. Making a selfish wish with the Miraculous would result in devastating coincidences.

There was no more time for words, Hawk Moth swung his cane, releasing an akuma that soon entered Chat Noir's bell, "Chat Blanc, I'm giving you the infinite power of destruction! Together you and I will seize Ladybug's Miraculous and awaken your mother! Obey!"

Chat could feel unbridle emotions enter his body, causing him great pain and more anguish than initially started; Chat grabbed his head trying to silence the orders given to him, "I'm sorry, Ladybug!" Chat could not struggle anymore, he let his sadness take over, turning him into Chat Blanc.

"Seize her Miraculous, my son!" Hawk Moth commanded, confident that his son would bow down to his every whim.

Chat Blanc hesitantly lifted his arm to Ladybug, aiming his cataclysm; there was fear in his eyes as he looked upon the girl he loved, "No Adrien, you have to resist!" She pleaded.

He shifted then aimed his arm towards his father, "How dare you! Not me, Adrien!"

Switching between his love and his family; Adrien decided to make an executive decision himself, "I... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" Lifting his arms high above his head, coincidentally making a giant Cataclysm made of blinding white light. "M'lady…" He called out for Ladybug, asking for forgiveness, if he wasn't going to hurt the ones he loved; he'd hurt himself, to protect them.

Ladybug was devastated, all she could do was stand helpless while the love of her life was turned into a monster, "My prince…" No, he wasn't a monster; Hawk Moth was, and he needed to be stopped, but first. Without even thinking, Ladybug launched herself forward into Chat Blanc's chest and began to cry.

He kept his arm above his head, making sure not to touch Ladybug's body, but wrapped his safe arm around her waist. "Bugaboo, no! Get away from me! I do-don't know what this power is going to do!"

Ladybug tightened her hold around his neck, "No! If you're going to destroy the world, then we'll die together!"

"Marinette…" He slowly lowered his arm, holding it behind his back.

"You are my whole world and I'd rather die together then live in a world without you!"

Inside his protective bubble Adrien slowly came to the realization that he wasn't alone he had Marinette, he had his friends and they cared about him, and somewhere out there he still had Nathalie.

"I know I never said it until now, but I love you, from the very beginning! I've always loved you so much from the bottom of my heart!" She pushed herself away to look into his eyes, while tears fell from hers. "It's you and me against the world, right?"

Through the literal power of love, Chat Blanc retracted his cataclysm, reversing it back into his hand. The sudden power surge was too much for him to handle and just like Monsieur Pigeon before him; he ended up fainting on top of Ladybug. Seeing that he was still white meant the akuma was still there; she carefully laid him down on the ground, took his bell, and stomped it on the ground, releasing the akuma, "No more evil-doing for you little akuma!" After it's caught, Blanc turned back into Noir.

"How dare you, you harpy! You turned my own son against me!" Hawk Moth bellowed; both of his fists shook in rage before he sprinted towards Ladybug.

Looking back, Ladybug immediately whipped out her yo-yo, "YOU AKUMATIZED YOUR OWN SON?!" She began to repeatedly snap at his cane, like a whip, as she slowly approached. "How could you, I mean I knew you were a giant douchebag, but this is a whole new level!"

Hawk Moth stopped short to block her attacks, but with her coming closer; he felt worse for wear, "Adrien is the nicest, sweetest person in the whole entire universe, and you treat him like some sort of show dog! He's at your beck and call 23/7 and does everything you tell him to do, and you can't even give him a hug?!"

Ladybug stopped and threw her yo-yo again, but Hawk Moth caught the string, wrapping it around on his cane; he pulled backward, bringing Ladybug face to face, "You've attacked and terrorize Paris countless times; my family, our friends," She felt a salty tingling in her eyes, "You have your wife in your basement tomb…"

"Silence!" Hawk Moth shouted, back handing Ladybug in the face, causing her to fall back. With a click of a button, a sharpened blade appeared at the end of his cane; Hawk Moth slowly sauntered towards Ladybug, "Children should stay in a child's place," Ladybug recovered in time to see Hawk Moth hovering over her, with her yo-yo unraveled; she did her best to scoot backwards to reach it.

As Ladybug reached her finger loop, a hard left shoe stomped on her wrist. A loud yelp echoed under the steel bars of the tower, "I will not have some spotted bitch tell me how to raise my son!" Hawk Moth angrily raised his cane above his head, gripped it tightly before quickly bringing it down towards her.

"Better watch how you talk to my future wife, old man!" Ladybug opened her eyes, not caring for a second that she was face to crotch with Chat Noir; she was just relieved he was back in action. He was standing over Ladybug after knocking Hawk Moth back with his baton. When Hawk Moth was far enough away, Chat Noir stepped ahead to check on his lady; she sat her up on her butt holding her wrist, then nodded giving the okay that it was finally time to end this.

"It was never good enough for you, I was never good enough for you, was I?" Under his mask, hiding under his bangs, tears were forming. Never in a million years did he think he would ever have to fight his father, at least in this kind of manner. Adrien was sure other families simply yelled at each other.

Chat Noir began to walk towards his father, going over every rotten thing he ever did, "You forgot my birthday, you never spent time with me…" He showed off his baton before twisting it apart.

"Enough nonsense Adrien, it's time you come to your senses!"

"You've attacked all my friends from school, you akumatized so many innocent people," Chat made a mad dash towards his father, pelting him with stick maneuvers and stabbings. Unfortunately, he blocked every one of them.

"You made Nathalie leave! What was this all for?!" This battle was similar to the one they had at the house, now with more space and opportunity it was more like two boxers in a ring. Hawk Moth was starting to slow down, and Chat took every advantage he could. "To bring mom back? Do you honestly think she would still love you after seeing what you've turned into?"

Bad choice of words.

Hawk Moth ignored all the pain he was feeling and the beating he was taking to bum rush Chat Noir across the arena into the nearest leg of the Eiffel Tower, pinning him by the neck. "Look at you Adrien, playing dress up like a child, I raised you better than this!" He pulled his arm back with just enough room to come back and stab him with the blade, luckily it was on the right-hand side just under his collar bone.

"AAAHHH! What was he to do? Chat couldn't let his father continue his tyranny on the world anymore, there was only one thing he could do.

"Everything I did, I did for you and your mother; I'm doing all of this so we can be a family again! Why don't you grow up and get a clue, what would your mother say if she saw you like this?"

"Cataclysm…" Bubbling black bubbles formed in Chat's hand, he quickly found a spot between Hawk Moth's glove and jacket sleeve and made skin contact. He watched in terror as the darkness began to slowly engulf his wrist then proceeded to make an ascent up his arm, causing him to let go of his cane.

Coughing out a few splatters of blood, Chat Noir turned his head away, he couldn't listen to his father scream in pain as trying to swipe the darkness away. As his arm was being taken over by petrification; Hawk Moth pleaded, "Adrien! Son, how could you?!"

Ladybug was finally able to run to Chat's side, coming from the corner, "Adrien! Are you ok-oh my gah! Que diable?" She flapped her hands as she looked between the evil boiling man and her penetrated boyfriend; she danced around panicked, "Do I leave it in, or do I take it out?!"

"Out, please my lady…" Chat grunted, coughing blood again; Ladybug ran to Chat's side to help pull out the cane.

"Adrien! Please!" With her broken wrist, it was difficult to remove the knife, even with her superpowers she was struggling. Gabriel wasn't making it easier by pleading for his life. Doing her best to focus on the task at hand, wasn't stopping her tears from sympathizing with this man. All he wanted was the love of his life back, and in his desperation, he went mad and lost sight of what was important.

Ladybug's hands were shaking; she used her injured left hand to hold her good right hand, "Adrien, I'm sorry… I ca-can't d-do-" She removed both her hands to wipe her face.

"AAAAHHH!"

The sound of him begging made Ladybug cringed; she slammed her eyes shut as she covered her ears; Chat struggled to reach out to her, grabbing the bottom of her chin.

"You can do it Marinette; I believe in you. Just focus on me…" Chat removed his bloody claw and brought it to his wound; he watched as she struggled to grab the pole again. They both nodded and pulled on the cane again together.

"Adrien, listen to me! Your mother, she isn't dead! She's alive, in the glass casket!" Chat peered one of his eyes open to see the status of his distraction, the curse was up at his torso by now and was showing no sign of slowing down. "The butterfly Miraculous; it's broken! Nathalie is sick, save her! Save them both!"

"Don't listen to him, M'lady!" Chat could feel that the knife was starting to give way, they needed to pull just a bit harder.

"Please! Think of your mother! I am your father…!"

"You may have raised me, but you were never my father!" Echous screams could be heard under the tower that day, with all that was left inside of them; they managed to finally pull out the cane from Chat's shoulder. Ladybug flung it away somewhere, as Chat fell on his knees, holding his arm in pain. "Plagg, is going to kill me…"

What was left of Gabriel Agreste was a tall statue of a man reaching for the son he could never understand, the display was unstable to keep its form, and soon it disappeared into nothing, dissolving into ashes before their very eyes. A shadow of a man that left nothing but an empty space, bad memories of a horrible person and the butterfly Miraculous.

"Since when can you use your powers multiple times?" Ladybug hoisted Chat Noir's left arm over her right shoulder so as to not antagonize her wrist.

He looks down at his hand, "I guess we can thank Hawk Moth for that one…" She slung her other arm around his waist as she helped walk him to the pile of ash. Chat unhooked himself from Ladybug's side and limped himself to his now deceased parent, without warning Chat fell to his knees and began to cry; he detransformed and instantly clung onto Plagg.

"I've always wondered what would happen if I ever used my powers on a real-life person, and now we know…" Ladybug released her transformation and knelt down next to Adrien as Tikki joined her other half while he held everyone in his arms.


"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Nadia Chamock here, reports are coming from all over Paris that the terrorist threat, Hawk Moth, has been defeated by Ladybug and Chat Noir! The villain was struck down by our heroes just hours ago as witnesses say that Chat Noir was forced to take down the menace using his Cataclysm, ultimately killing the villain in the process. The 'body' is being collected by authorities; unfortunately, his identity is still unknown.

In related news, Paris' top fashion designer and father to the famous teen model Adrien Agreste, Gabriel Agreste, has been reported dead in relation to Hawk Moth's latest attack on Paris, the victim was reported to have intervened when the villain went to the Agreste mansion in an attempt to attack his son, Adrien. Here on scene with the heroes is our own Clara Contard. Clara?"

"Thanks Nadia, I'm here in front of the Eiffel Tower as Paris' superheroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir, have finally apprehended Hawk Moth, permanently putting his reign of terror to an end. Chat Noir and Ladybug are still on scene with police as they finish cleaning up the crime scene."

After Adrien calmed down, they fed Plikki then transformed again, and called the police. The pile of Gabriel was cut off with police tape as the captain and Officer Roger Raincomprix were overseeing the cleanup.

Not wanting to look at the dirt on the ground; Noir was off to the side, he flinched when they started to "sweep" his father up into an evidence bag.

"Chat Noir? Could we have a word?" Ladybug saw this and politely asked the media to hold off with the questions for now. "Unfortunately, Nadja I won't be able to interview them at this time…"

"Thanks anyway, Clara! Keep us posted! In other related news police have found the body of Emilie Agreste, more commonly known as Emilie Graham de Vanily: the famous actress and Gabriel Agreste's first wife. Emile Agreste, who reportedly went missing years ago, was found in what appears to be a sarcophagus pod in the basement of the Agreste manor. She seems to be in stable condition after a severe accident left her in a coma-like state. Police immediately rushed her to the hospital and without giving details of her current state, we were told that she's in critical condition…"

"In other news, Police have Nathalie Sancoeur in custody in relation to the Hawk Moth vanquishing. Not only was she Gabriel's Agreste personal assistant, but she also played a role as fellow supervillain Mayura. After learning about Hawk Moth's demise, she turned herself in as an accomplice. Investigators are also looking into the affiliation of the family's bodyguard only known as 'Gorilla'…"


It's been over a year and a half since we defeated Hawk Moth and lost my father, but he was far gone way before that. Gabriel Agreste was a brilliant man with a masterful plan that he didn't know how to implement properly.

Nathalie will always hold a special place in my heart, she took care of me in my mother's absence, and I will always be grateful for her for that, however she was no better than my father, but at least she had the guts to give up when the time came for it.

I want to tell you everything, but I can't right now, not until you'd be able to handle all the events that occurred. A lot had happened before you were born, my life was filled with dread, disappointment, misery, light and love and I can't wait until you get here so I can tell you all of it!

I met wonderful friends and at the same time not so amazing enemies, but I was always so busy with school and my other extracurricular activities that I didn't have much time for a social life. When I did, I had a really exciting time and that's what I want for you. I want you to be happy, make a lot of friends and laugh often. I don't want you to remember father for the villain that he was, remember him for the man he wanted to be for the woman he loved so deeply.

And always remember; you're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think*


A/N: This last paragraph is just a little love letter from Adrien to his first child. Just something cute I thought would go at the end nicely.

Translations:
