She is... Light T
My personal headcannon for Adrien's mysteriously missing mother. She'll be present in several of these since her absense in the show is the inspiration that started this collection.
She is Pixie Girl.
Flitting from rooftop to rooftop she patrols the night. A cool Autumn breeze blows across her forehead and she smiles. She feels free moving through the Parisian night. She feels strong and brave as she scans for trouble on the streets below. She feels just a little lonely every time she kisses him on the forehead and says "goodnight, be good." She feels just a little bit scared, just a little bit guilty. One day she'll tell him; when he's older she says. His father agrees but everytime she leaves, a piece of her heart stays there with her son.
She is Adriana Agreste.
She is all blushes and nervous glances as she walks down the aisle to him. Gabriel, her husband as of today. They would be together forever and she would love him until the last possible second of the universe and maybe beyond that. He is the only one who knows all of her. He is the only one that knows her secrets, her dreams and wishes for the future and he shares them with her and blends them together with his.
She is radiance and he can't help the tears that begin to cloud his vision. He sees their lives cast out before him and his heart swells with the thought of it. She meets him under the curved archway and he takes her hands in his. "I love you" he whispers and her smile is a greater accomplishment than any new clothing design he could come up with or any amazing contract he could sign.
She is a mother.
Tiny fingers wrap around her thumb and she is in love. A little pink mouth gurgles and coos and she can't remember life before this moment. A pair of bright green eyes flutter open and meet their twins, her smile reflected in them, and the world is new.
"Adrien. He's perfect."
She is a wife.
His arms around her shoulders are strong and secure. She leans back against him and lets the warmth of his chest seep into her bones and into her heart. She wants to stay like this forever and feel his warmth at her back and the warmth of their sleeping baby against her chest. "Shall I prepare dinner tonight or would you rather go out somewhere Gabe?" Her voice is soft so as not to wake the child and she feels him look toward the ceiling in thought.
"Well...I do love your cooking." He muses and brushes her hair away from her neck to lay a chaste kiss on the soft skin. "Though, I'm sure you're tired what with little A demanding your every second so why don't I order us something? Less stress all around." His chest rumbles in a quiet chuckle and her shoulders shake in soft laughter as well.
"As you wish my husband." She turns her head to kiss him, a smile playing on her lips.
She is the unsung hero of Paris.
No one knows her name. No one sees her deeds. There are no clear photos, no interviews. She is an enigma that protects the city under the cover of night and homeschools a boy of 10 during the day.
She is brave and she is terrified. She is dragging herself through an alley, blood seeping from her side and trailing down the corner of her mouth; if she can just reach the street... someone will see her, someone will help and too hell with secret identities.
She can't leave them now, she can't lose now. Adrien is so young. Gabriel is so wonderful.
Her breath comes in sharp gasps now and her vision blurs. Her Miraculous is alerting and suddenly she feels the transformation release. "Adriana!" The tiny kwami uses what strength it has to crawl to her and grasp her finger, pulling uselessly. "Come on Adriana, it's just a little further!"
She is smiling but she doesn't know why. She feels very warm, and very tired. Perhaps a little nap is all she needs. "It's okay Nuru, I just need to rest."
"No, don't close your eyes! Stay with me Adriana! Think of Gabriel, think of Adrien. You still have to tell him about all our adventures…" the kwami hiccups, tears forming large in her eyes. "I think he's old enough now... they're at home, right now, he's waiting for you to tuck him in. He needs you!" Nuru is shouting again and pulling for all she's worth but she's so weak and small and deep down she knows her master is too far gone.
"Everything will work out Nuru, you'll see. Goodnight, be good."
She is gone.
