This takes place before Gabriel was caught.

Gabriel had all the miraculous, minus the peacock that he traded his nephew. And ironically minus the two he needs to apprehend to truly win.

Natalie, hiding in a bathroom, on a video call says to him, "do you have a plan now that you have the miraculous?"

Gabriel touches the bunny's Miraculous. He made his threat to Paris. He let them all know, that while he may not have won, he did defeat Ladybug in a way. He stole her Miraculous. He let the citizens of Paris make a choice. They either bring him the Miraculous of Ladybug and Cat Noir, or he will spend countless days torturing this city. He witnessed them rush out to comfort that bug. Wait. They chanted Ladybug's name. That's something he may want to keep in his back pocket. Cat Noir could be his greatest weapon to defeat that said little girl. Especially now that he has taken her team from her. And he now has to powers to do just about anything he could want. He picks up the Watch.

"All of this can be avoided if I just go back to that day. Back to before she used it. None of this has to happen. No one has to get hurt." The truth in the matter is, that Gabriel doesn't enjoy hurting people. But he will stop at nothing to bring his wife back. Make them a family again. Give Adrien his mother, and give himself the only woman he can imagine growing old with.

Natalie bites her lip, "you think using the watch is the best step?"

Gabriel grabs the time watch and out of it, comes a Kwami. "What is your name?"

Fluff didn't want to answer, but he was holding the Miraculous. Fluff had to obey. "My name is Fluff." Fluff saw Noro, Wayzz, and Trixx also out of their Miraculous. Out of the box? Where is the box? Where is..." Fluff flew to them, "what's going on? Where is the guardian?"

Gabriel answered that "she lost. And now I am going back in time to stop all of this! How do I transform?"

Fluff had to obey commands, but a Kwami is aloud to reason with a holder when it comes to misusing the Miraculous. Though, that doesn't mean the holder has to listen. Fluff says, "but messing with the time stream is dangerous. My power lets someone travel to every point in time. Past, Present, Future. Futures and past that have been avoided or changed. Any timeline for our dimension can be reached using my Miraculous, and if not done with precision and care can make things worse for that present or the future. It's not like Sass's power that erases a few minutes. My power lets you step into the past or future. Sass makes it so whatever was done, never happened. Mine doesn't do that. You take something out of the past, it changes everything from that point on in time. And that old timeline still exists. He creates a whole new timeline."

Gabriel doesn't want to hear it, "never question me!" Then takes a deep breath, "tell me how..."

Then Natalie intervenes, "maybe we should consider what the Kwami says about its power." Then decides to add, "maybe the original goal to make the wish using the ladybug and black cat is the best course of action. And now you have the power to bend this city to your will."

Gabriel sighs. He pinches the bridge of his nose. "I suppose your right." He then started releasing all the Kwami from their Miraculous.

The Kwami saw Gabriel and looked around confused.

"What's going on?" Sass wondered. "Nooroo, is that really you?"

Nooroo nodded, softly.

Barkk knew because Felix used his power to summon Ladybug's yoyo and then denounced the Kwami to also hand over the dog Miraculous to this monster. "He's Shadowmoth. The guardian gave this boy my Miraculous and then the boy gave all of us to him!" Barrk pointed to Shadowmoth.

"Shadowmoth?" Mullo pondered, before proceeding to panic, "oh no. Shadowmoth."

The rest of the Kwami who had yet to realize Ladybug's defeat followed in Mullo's footsteps.

Gabriel snarled, "Enough! All of you."

The Kwami obeyed.

Gabriel said, "you will never pull more foolishness like that again!"

Roarr glared, "you're going to lose. You might as well let us go!"

Gabriel chuckled, "lose? I already won one battle. I will apprehend Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculous!" Then he addresses each Kwami. "You will each" The with a raised voice "one at a time" then he lowers his voice back down "will explain your powers and what I will be able to do using your Miraculous." He points to Sass. "You can begin, Kwami. Start with your name. Your transformation phrase. Then explain your power to me with great detail."

Sass sighs, "I am Sass, Kwami of..."

Suddenly they could all hear, "father? Are you here?"

Gabriel shot his head towards the open door. He cursed, "Felix." Because Felix left the door to the gallery open on his way out. Adrien is looking for him. No time to shut the door without drawing suspicion. No time to renounce each Kwami.

Gabriel ordered, "hide. Do not come out as long as my son is here."

The Kwami obeyed. Just in time too. As Adrien stuck his head into the room. "Father, can I talk to you?"

This annoyed Gabriel. "What? I'm disappointed you are not on the train. Natalie was worried sick."

Adrien mumbled, "I didn't want to go, father. I tried to tell you. I don't want to model anymore. I want to stay in school. Felix promised to... Father, please reconsider. Please let me stay in Paris. And stay in school."

Gabriel sighs, "fine. But you will still do local jobs. You are not quitting modeling."

Adrien bites his bottom lip, "but Father I want..."

Gabriel growls, "I don't care what you want. You should be thankful I am allowing you to disobey me and stay here."

Adrien nods, "your right. I'm sorry."

Adrien stood still. Gabriel snapped, "since you are going to continue your work in the city and you are going to be going to school tomorrow, don't you think you should go to be."

It wasn't a question. Adrien hated when his father did that. Don't word it like he has a choice. But Adrien just looks at the ground, "Shadowmoth just threatened the city. He has all the Miraculous."

Gabriel was not extremely annoyed. All pointless garbage that Adrien shouldn't be worrying about. It's no concern of his. "So, you think life stops because of a simple request? Stay out of his way, he'll leave you alone. What is the problem?"

Adrien finally looked up, "I'm scared." And his father could clearly see the tears rolling down his face. His water eyes really did have fear in them.

His father, much calmer now, says "it's going to be okay. He won't hurt you."

Adrien says, "he was willing to have me thrown off a building."

Gabriel squinted. 'How dare he.' Gabriel remembers that day. Adrien jumped. Because the bug told him to. It was the day he was so sure he finally unmasked one of the pesky heroes. He now realizes how silly he was for thinking his son could actually be that darn cat.

But Adrien thinking he threw him off a building is ridiculous. He made Gorzillia let Ladybug go just so she can save him. But Gabriel can't say any of that. He can only know what he would have been able to learn about from the news.

"Looked more like you jumped when Ladybug told you to."

"He put me in that situation though. I could have died then, so you can't know he won't hurt me now that he has more power."

And Gabriel hated to admit it, but Adrien would be right if it wasn't for the fact that Gabriel is Shadowmoth. There would be no way he would know that.

Kaalki finally got a good look at Adrien, and with mini widened eyes, says "no way?"

Nooroo mistook the statement and reassured, "that's just his son, Adrien. The boy is harmless with a heart of gold."

Barkk finally realized who was talking to Shadowmoth. Barrk growls, "harmless? He is the one that gave us to Shadowmoth."

Nooroo shakes his head, "no. That was his cousin. They look alike."

Kaalki shakes his head, "no. Plagg. He. Holder. Plagg holder."

Trixx starts to laugh.

Kaalki glares, "what is so funny?"

Trixx explains, "the guardian. If that boy is truly Cat Noir like Kaalki is trying to say, the Guardian has been turning down her crush from the beginning."

Nooroo explains, "master did suspect his son at one time, but the theory was debunked."

Sass explains, "it's true. Before Ladybug chose my holder, she chose him. And Cat Noir didn't show up for the countless tries. It was strange to me that this boy was so willing not to wait for Cat Noir. Then right before ladybug died another time, he said he was also Cat Noir. Suddenly everything made sense."

Wayzz says, "Sass is correct. I was there when Adrien was chosen."

Sass adds, "Adrien is in love and was making decisions based on love."

Barkk growls, "every time we are left in the hands of teenagers, they make dumb choices. And now Shadowmoth has us."

Wayzz defends, "do not blame the guardian, she could not have known who she chose was an imposter."

Sass adds, "they were also under the impression of risk."

Daizzi, ignoring all of them, suggests, "maybe we can contact Plagg since he is under the same roof."

Nooroo shakes his head, "we aren't allowed out of Master's sight."

Gabriel waited patiently for his son to say something else. But enough was enough. "Is that all you wished to discuss?"

Adrien says, "Felix gave the Miraculous to Shadowmoth."

Gabriel was surprised, "excuse me? What makes you say that."

Adrien explains, "Ladybug was going to give me the dog Miraculous, but Felix was impersonating me. He took off. Ladybug was here. She wanted it back. She thought it was me."

Gabriel asks, "she left?"

Adrien says, "Felix has to know Shadowmoth's identity."

Gabriel says, "why would you think that?"

Adrien doesn't answer that, because he adds "Shadowmoth has to be someone we know."

Gabriel says, "not necessarily, son. Go to your room!"

Adrien argues, "but father..."

Gabriel snaps, "I said go to your room."

And this time Adrien complied. He started walking away when Gabriel said, "I do not want any interruptions for the following month. I am going to be extremely busy."

Adrien was downcasted, "yes father."

Then Gabriel said, "Wait a moment."

Adrien Pauses but does not turn back around.

Gabriel continues, "Since you decided to disobey my wishes, I feel some type of punishment is in order. Wouldn't you agree?"

Adrien doesn't answer. He waits.

Gabriel continues, "what do you think is a fair punishment?"

Adrien almost felt like crying, "I don't know." He hangs his head, waiting for his father to give him his punishment.

Gabriel says, "I suppose we can figure out a suitable punishment later."

Adrien understood, "yes father."

Adrien closed the door on his way out. Gabriel waited a moment before approaching the door to lock it. "We will take this downstairs." Gabriel almost kicked himself by almost allowing himself to get caught.

Natalie says "sir." He didn't say anything. She waited until he and the Kwami were in his lair before she continued, "maybe you should tell him." He placed the tablet down on a table. Natalie continued, "I have never seen him that scared. If he knew who you were, he would know he's safe. He doesn't have anything to worry about."

Gabriel shakes his head, "I would rather bring his mother home. He can't handle this truth, Natalie. He's much too fragile and shelterd. Besides, once I make my wish, none of this will have happened anyway."

Natalie had to know, "and if you fail?"

Gabriel growls, "I won't." But his eyes do begin to water, betraying himself. "but if I do, Adrien's wellbeing is all that matters. Just make sure he is taken care of no matter the cost."

Natalie understood.

It wasn't long before Master Su han found Marinette and ripped into her. It felt like hours of his endless shouting. He kept demanding the miraculous back, but the thought of leaving Cat Noir was what made her refuse to hand over her earings.

Marinette glared, "I made a mistake. I get it. But we are going to end this. We will get them back. Cat Noir and I."

Alya knocked, "uh, can I come in."

Marinette nodded.

Master Su han says, "you have five months to retrieve the miraculous you lost. If you fail you relinquish the earings, Cat Noir gives me his ring, and you give me the box."

Marinette whispers, "thank you."

Once gone, Alya asks, "five months?"

Marinette sighs, "at least he's willing to let us fix this mess." Then she adds, "ugh, I wish you kept the fox with you."

Alya says, "I know. Me too. I am so sorry I betrayed your trust. But Nino is the love of life and I know that sounds silly coming from a high school girl but I can't imagine a life without Nino. I trust him more than anyone."

Marinette admits, "after meeting you and Adrien, Nino and I became really close friends. I trust him too. But ..."

Alya says, "But, I should have told him without telling you. You already made yourself clear about telling Nino."

Marinette asks, "can you stay for a little bit while I get some sleep?"

Alya smiles, "Sure."

As Adrien made his way downstairs, he looked towards the gallery. He sighs.

Plagg asks, "you okay."

Adrien assures, "I'm fine." Adrien rushed to the door. Outside, his bodyguard was waiting for him. Adrien walked to the car and took his seat in the back. Adrien opened his phone. Every single news feed was about Shadowmoth and the miraculous. Adrien threw his phone in his bag. Unbelievable. Sadness was replaced with anger. If it wasn't for him, Ladybug was ready to give up. Why are they all begging her to save them? He is still here too. He was her loyal partner from day one. If she trusted him, maybe they would have some miraculous still.

But Adrien remembered that the battle is far from over and he needed to remain calm. Cool and collected. He cannot get akumatised. As the car pulled up in front of the school, he noticed everyone was sad. Distressed. Scared. Angry. Perfect victims. 'What is Shadowmoth waiting for?'

Adrien shut the door and looked around. He finally spotted two of his friends. Both huddled on the steps. Alone. As Adrien got closer, it appeared like Alya was comforting him.

'Ladybug probably yelled at him.' Then Adrien remembered, 'before the miraculous was stolen.' Then Adrien couldn't help but think, 'If Ladybug would take my opinion, the miraculous probably would have been safer with holders.'

As they got closer, Alya quickly changed the direction of the conversation.

Adrien drew a conclusion, 'whatever, they were talking about, it was definitely some superhero business that Adrien Agreste should not know.'

Adrien rubs the back of his neck, "hey guys. How are you feeling?"

Alya rolled her eyes, "dumb question sunshine. Really dumb question."

Adrien knew she was right. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, sorry."

Alya noticed Marinette first and excused herself. Adrien turned and couldn't believe it. Marinette was a mess. She took this probably as hard as Ladybug herself. Once Alya reached her, he watched in near disbelief, as Marinette broke down in Alya's arms.

He was almost tempted to go comfort when he remembered Nino is probably also torn pretty hard. Adrien took a seat next to Nino

Adrien whispered, "you okay?"

Nino shakes his head. "He won."

Adrien says, "no. Don't think like that. He hasn't won yet. Ladybug and Cat Noir will stop him."

Nino sighs, "the team has been disbanded because he won. He has all the miraculous."

Adrien glared, "they didn't always have a team you know. Before the other miraculous it was just Ladybug and Cat Noir. They were the team. They kept everyone safe just fine when it was just the two of them. They don't need anyone else to get the miraculous back."

Nino suddenly asks, "are you okay?"

Adrien was surprised, 'shoot.' He realized his mistake making this way too personal. But then he remembered, that Adrien Agreste does have a part to play. Adrien himself is personally involved.

Adrien says, "Ladybug gave me the dog Miraculous."

Nino whispered "that was..." then he glared "you? You stole the miraculous?" Before Adrien could explain further, Nino yelled, "you betrayed us? Betrayed Ladybug? You are working with Shadowmoth?"

Nino jumped to his feet, "how could you."

Adrien was surprised that Nino was so quick to think he would do any of that, "let me finish."

Nino glared, "I don't think I want to hear it." But he did sit back down next to Adrien.

"She never gave it to me. She wanted me, but my cousin tricked her."

Nino gasped, "oh my gosh. You mean... Felix?"

Adrien nodded slowly.

"The same cousin you tried to turn your friends against you?"

"Yeah. That cousin." Adrien ran his fingers through his hair.

Nino apologised, "I'm sorry man. I been on edge and been looking for someone to blame. That was stupid."

Adrien assured, "It's fine. I blame myself. I was supposed to be on that train, but I let my cousin trick me. He said he would talk to my father for and get me out of this world travel thing with Lila."

Nino then remembered something Marinette said while everyone was still under the oppression of risk. "Wait, did you not want to go?"

Adrien couldn't stop himself from blurting out "I hate Lila and I hate modeling."

Nino was surprised, "did... um, did you tell anyone that?"

Adrien chuckles ironically, "the only person to ever listen to me."

Nino asks, "Marinette?"

Adrien nodded.

Nino wanted to know, "why didn't you tell me?"

Adrien shrugs, "I think I was under that akuma when it came out to be honest, but she understood. You were so happy for me. And I appreciate you wanting me to get out of the house and don't get me wrong I wish I had more freedom, but I like school. I love my friends. I hate people fawning over me. I didn't want to leave you guys. They don't know me. Even Chloe throws herself at me and I don't think she actually knows anything about me. I just... I want someone to like me for me."

Nino couldn't believe what he was hearing. He says, "you know the girls and I love you for you."

Adrien smiles, "I love being nice, but I have never been allowed to say what's on my mind. No bad publicity, you know. " Now he frowns. His eyes shut tight. Angry. "A photographer gropes you, better not shout. Someone else gets handsy, don't you dare scream. We can deal with it later. But no police though. Can't have the word out that the face of the brand was molested on a set."

Nino gasps, "wait what?"

Adrien takes a deep breath. He smiles wide. "You just smile. You pretend someone didn't just grab you there. Ignore it. Because if you do something to embarrass the brand, you get in trouble. It's better to just sit tight. Quiet. Do not say a word. Smile like the pretty little model you are."

Nino couldn't believe what he was hearing, "I had no idea."

Adrien shrugs, "it's not really a big deal."

Nino was now angry. He snapped, "not a big deal? Don't you dare say this isn't a big deal! Adrien, this is wrong."

Adrien sighs, "it's fine."

Nino admits, "my mom was raped."

Adrien's head snapped up.

Nino continued, "don't say it's fine. It's wrong and it does damage. My mother chose to keep me and I never understood why because she hate me. And I don't blame her."

Adrien shrugs, "it's not your fault either, right?"

After a few minutes of silence, Nino agreed, "right."

Then they each stayed silent for a moment before Adrien continued, "a major liar is in your class who tried hurting your friend, you smile and make a deal with the devil. But you do not speak out. You do not cause a scene."

Nino then understood, "Lila?"

Adrien nodded. "Yeah, Nino. Marinette isn't jealous. Marinette hates lying. I convinced Lila to lie again but this time making Marinette innocent after she got Marinette expelled from school. Marinette wanted to prove she was lying time and time again and I wanted to be by her side so bad, but I convinced her to just let it go saying something about how turning you guys against her won't make her see the light, but the truth is..." Adrien paused. He takes a deep breath before continuing, "Because I knew you guys would turn on Marinette and I couldn't stand up for her without making a scene. And making scenes is a big no-no."

Nino noticed Adrien crying.

Through shaky breath, Adrien finally says "and I hate myself."

Nino finally realized Adrien is much more than that model smile. Nino never considered Adrien wanted more. He knew Adrien wanted to get out of that house. His father is like a prison warden, but would have never thought Adrien didn't want to... 'I have been a bad friend.' He takes a peek at Alya and Marinette. 'To both of my closest friends.'

"Adrien?"

And Adrien looks up, waiting for Nino to continue.

"You don't have to pretend with us. Alya, Marinette, and me. When we're alone, I want to see every side of you."

Adrien chuckles, "that sure means a lot."

As soon as the school bell rang did an Akuma show up.

Nino growls, "now?"

Adrien reminds, "he promised to be relentless. Give him credit for waiting so long."

Nino rolls his eyes, "probably torturing the Kwami for information."

Adrien says, "we need to hide."

Nino agreed. But when he looked over and noticed the girls already gone, he sighed with relief. "Let's go." They both took off running, but when he looked back, Adrien was gone Nino shrugged figuring he lost Adrien in the crowd. He knew he better finds a hiding place.

But Nino was grabbed. "Hey, let me go."

Nino struggled to get free.

"I'm going to erase you from existence. You should never have been born!"

Nino slowly looked up and realized with horror that this victim was his mother. "Mom?"

She shouts, "I am Eraser! And, I was never your mother."

Nino meant it when he said he never blamed her for hating him. So Nino stops struggling.

All Eraser was able to do was touch Nino with the tip of the eraser. Ladybug swooped in and grabbed Nino before Eraser could swipe.

Once safely on a roof, Ladybug asks, "that's your mother, right?"

Nino nods.

Ladybug sighs, "I'm sorry Nino. I wish I could call upon Carapace right about now."

He cringes thinking about how this is exactly what Adrien has been taught to do his entire life, but Nino still forces a smile, "just save her."

Ladybug nodded, "any clue why she would be akumatised?"

'yes.' But Nino chose to say, "I was at school. I wasn't with her when Shadowmoth akumatised her."

Ladybug took off. "I'll be back after I save your mother."

Nino watched from the roof as Cat Noir showed.

"Any idea, milady?"

Ladybug shakes her head. "She can erase people if she touches you and swipes with the back of that pencil. We aren't going to be able to get close. If we had the turtle miraculous, we would be able to..."

Cat Noir stopped her, "well we don't have it. It's just you and I. Let's do what we can as the duo."

Ladybug smiled, "your right." She throws her yo-yo in the air, "lucky charm."

After the defeated Eraser (and she was able to tell them that Shadowmoth changed his name to Monarch), they fought Killaton, then Vampmister. It was nearly 8:00 pm by now and Nino figured he better finds his own way down. The Birdbox and Creeper right after that. After midnight and everyone was ordered to stay indoors. Schools would remain closed for the time being. Then Fixator and Galigator. People started wondering if Monarch slept.

A few days later and neither hero has had much sleep. PastPrime, Halogreed, and Grate. They just defeated Scalemate. And it took them over six hours. They are tired and hungry. One after the other. They fought an akuma after an akuma. No team.

Cat Noir and Ladybug, both hidden, and back to back to one another, de-transform.

More screaming is heard atop. Another one they safely assumed.

Adrien hands Plagg a piece of cheese, "eat up buddy, looks like we aren't resting yet."

Marinette hands Tikki a macaroon and cries, "still no miraculous. He has all of the miraculous and he isn't using them. We are never going to get them back."

Adrien says, "he doesn't want us to get them back." Adrien grips his stomach. He totally forgot to eat with all this fighting. Maybe whatever is going on up there will be the last one. Wishful thinking. "He wants to make sure we are tired before bringing another miraculous out."

Marinette cries, "well it worked. I'm exhausted and that was my last macaroon."

Adrien says, "come on, Milday. You can't quite yet. We have to keep going." Then he asks, "Plagg?"

Plagg confirms, "ready."

"Plagg, claws out." He closes his eyes and turns around. He extends his hand, "coming, bugaboo?"

Marinette smiles grabbing his hand, "Tikki, spots on."

Cat noir opened his eyes, "let's go see what we are up against now. Beat this one like we beat all the others."

Ladybug smiles, "you and me."

Cat Noir agrees, "you and me."

Ladybug and Cat Noir found themselves face to face with...

Cat Noir realized it first, "that's an akumatised miraculous."

Ladybug smiled, "the turtle."

Cat Noir said, "it's a start."

Ladybug took a closer look, "I don't think the miraculous is akumatised." Then added, "I think it was given to the akuma victim after they were akumatised is what it looks like."

Cat Noir declares, "either way, we are going to get it back."

And true to his word, Cat noir ripped the miraculous off the wrist of the akuma victim. And as his lady said, the miraculous really wasn't akumatised.

Wayzz flew out of the bracelet. He was excited. "Cat Noir?"

Cat noir smiled, "one down. Far from over, little guy."

He and Ladybug hid with the turtle. Cat Noir extended his hand to hand her back the miraculous, "one down. Told you we will get them back one at a time."

Ladybug stares at the miraculous and says, "We could use another hero?" She posed it like a question. Like she wasn't sure.

Cat Noir says, "well we have that choice now."

Ladybug says, "go get Carapace."

Now Adrien does know who Carapace is, but he also knows Cat Noir isn't supposed to know, "I don't know his identity, Milady."

"Nino Lahiffe."

Cat Noir couldn't believe his ears.

Ladybug confirms, "I do trust you Kitty and I think you should know the people we work with."

Cat Noir made sure no one was able to follow him. And found Nino, but Alya was with him. And again he knows she knows, but Cat Noir shouldn't.

He reaches to his ear and says, "I found Nino, but his girlfriend is with him."

Ladybug sighs, "it's fine. She knows."

Cat noir faked gasped, "what?"

Ladybug explains, "she was Rena Rouge, now Rena Furtive. And I'll explain the rest later."

So Cat Noir dropped in, "Nino. Ladybug and I need Carapace." Cat Noir held the bracelet out towards Nino, who was shocked.

Alya asked, "is Ladybug okay?"

Cat Noir nodded, "yes, of course, but we have to hurry."

Nino happily greeted Wyazz before saying "Wyazz, shell on."

After defeating the villain, the three hid where no one would see Nino "Shell off."

Nino went to hand the bracelet to Ladybug when Cat Noir spoke up, "uh Milady, a word before you take the miraculous back."

The two went slightly out of earshot.

Cat Noir suggested, "maybe, until all of this is over, the miraculous would be safer with a holder."

Ladybug glared, "you don't think I can protect the miraculous?"

Cat Noir quickly defended, "of course, I don't think that. I am just saying. For the good of the miraculous. I trust Nino. And maybe he can keep Wyazz safe. Maybe he can wear the cat when I am too tired. You have your backup, right? We need to start utilizing our team. Monarch is true to his word. He has been relentless and I'm tired."

More loud explosions were heard somewhere in the city.

Cat Noir moaned, "awesome. And I know you are too."

Ladybug pouts, "I could use a nap."

Cat Noir says. "I'm going to give my miraculous to Nino. Because I am going to pass out." The says, "go get Scarabella." Ladybug gave Cat Noir the biggest hug before taking off towards wherever.

Cat Noir dropped back down to face Nino.

Nino asks, "uh, dude, what's going on?"

Cat Noir said, "for starters, you'll keep the turtle miraculous with you after you fill in for me."

Nino wasn't sure what that could have meant, "what?"

Cat Noir explains, "I'm going to hide over there." He points to a dumpster. "Can I trust you not to look?"

Nino slowly nodded his head. Cat noir grabbed the bracelet.

And true to his word, Cat Noir de-transformed. He put the bracelet on and said "Wayzz, shell on."

Now done as a turtle-themed hero, former Cat Noir, emerges. He hands his ring to Nino who gingerly takes it.

Cat Noir introduces, "this is Plagg. You say Plagg, claws out. When the battle is over, you will give the ring to Plagg. Once he returns with my ring, I will give the bracelet to Wyazz. You're going to hold the bracelet until we defeat Monarch.

Once back in his room, which he feels like he hasn't visited in such a long time, he de-transforms. Wyazz throat clenches.

He knows Monarch is under this roof.

Wyazz says "Monarch."

Adrien fell onto his bed, but he looked up, realizing "you know his identity?" Wyazz nods. Adrien asks, "so you can tell me and this nightmare can be over."

And Wyazz tried. Bubbles. "I'm sorry Cat Noir, He wore each of our miraculous. Unless he passes, we will be unable to say his name to another unless they learn his name first."

Adrien moans, "right."

His phone buzzes. Adrien turns on the newscast.

He hears the castor's confusion about the two "new holders." Adrien smiles, "Nino looks pretty good as Cat Noir." He hears from the footage, Scarabella shouting "now, Shade!"

Adrien snorts, "excuse me, I mean Shade." And it was a pretty good name for Nino's Cat persona.

Nino was covered head to toe in black leather, No skin is seen, except his lips with much sharper fangs. His ears are pointer than Cat Noir own. And the belt tail ends on a point. Two green slits for eyes. Shade was an excellent choice for Nino.

Adrien yawns, "they are doing great." He closes his eyes, "wake me when Plagg gets back."

And Adrian was out cold. Wayzz had to think. They have a chance to save the Kwami. He needed a plan. Wayzz was going to go see the other Kwami but stopped. That wouldn't help anyone and could put Adrien in danger. And Adrien is at a disadvantage as long as Nino has Plagg.

Wayzz sighed. He hid under Adrien's blanket.

Soon enough Plagg finally returned with the miraculous. Before Plagg woke Adrien up, Wayzz was dragged into the bathroom.

Wayzz tries, "Monarch is Ad..." But bubbles.

Plagg laughs, "don't be stupid. Unless I know the name or they die, you can't mention his name if he wore your miraculous."

Wayzz sighs, "worth a shot."

One by one the miraculous were retrieved. The second Miraculous they rescued was the dog miraculous. The miraculous that caused all of this in the first place. Ladybug knew only one other person besides herself could be trusted to hold the dog miraculous and she asked Cat Noir to temporarily hold the dog miraculous until only this was over.

The next miraculous they were able to steal back was the fox and the snake.

Lila wasn't akumatised. She was willing to help Monarch. It was a long battle and they nearly lost due to the snake being active. But Cat Noir used the dog miraculous to steal the snake. Once the snake was on their side, it wasn't hard for Ladybug to get the fox away from Lila.

Cat Noir and Ladybug groaned in unison when Lila lied and told everyone how awful it was. Monarch took control of her mind blah blah blah... Monarch made her put on the miraculous... blah blah, lie lie lie..."

The three heroes, now hiding to recharge their Kwami.

Nino asks, "are you going to let Rena Furtive have her miraculous back?"

Ladybug stayed silent.

Cat Noir spoke up, "for what it's worth Milady, I trust Alya too. And I think we can use her help."

Ladybug remained silent. She gripped the fox miraculous tightly in her fist.

Cat Noir said, "if I had someone like Nino and her do, I don't think I would be able to keep Cat Noir a secrete."

Ladybug declared, "no, your right. I'm going to bring Rena Furtive back. Can you go give the snake to Viperion? Rena and Viperion can join the temporary permanent heroes with Carapace because I trust them too."

Cat Noir said, "Plagg Claws out."

And Nino waited until he heard Ladybug say "Tikki, spots on."

Nino suggests, "since I know her identity, can I give her the miraculous? It might be safer since I won't have to do it in costume."

And Ladybug couldn't explain that she was going to go in civilian form also. She could have said no, but she couldn't think of a logical reason to decline the request since she is going to let her keep miraculous for the time being.

Ladybug handed Nino the miraculous, "okay, Nino. You explain to her the same rules you have." Because she has to make this look good. "She is not allowed to transform when there is no danger. And she must wait until she sees either Cat Noir or me already in battle. After the battle, she has to follow Cat Noir or me to make everyone think we are collecting the miraculous."

Nino gives her a salute, "you can count on me."

Nino absolutely loved having Wayzz with him at all times, but he knew as soon as they defeated Monarch, Ladybug was going to take Wayzz back. Having Wayzz with him at all times was amazing. And it's not like he doesn't want to defeat Monarch, but he doesn't want to say goodbye to Wayzz. Wayzz listens to his problems and offerers pretty sound advice to a magical being who doesn't totally understand human emotions.

The next Miraculous they saved was the bee miraculous. Ladybug loved Zoe and she was an amazing bee holder, but she lived under the same roof as Chloe and Ladybug couldn't risk Chloe discovering Zoe had the miraculous.

So it was the first miraculous she put back in her box. She couldn't wear it as Marinette without it drawing attention.

Alya watched Wayzz and trixx play with one another when Alya had an idea.

"You guys know Monarch's true identity, right?"

Nino reminded, "you know they can't tell us. The magic is preventing it."

Alya says, "yeah, but what if we guess the name? The spell would be broken, right?"

Trixx smiles, "my holder is a genius."

Wayzz rolls his eyes, "Nino could have thought of that."

Alya giggles, "awe, your Kwami loves you enough to make things up."

Nino snorts, "shut up, you love me."

Alya asks, "well for starters, do we know Monarch when he's not Monarch."

Wayzz nods, "yes, he's ad..." Bubbles.

Nino asks, "is he young, old, or ancient?"

Trixx says, "adult."

Alya asks, "family?"

Wayzz nods. "He has a s..." Bubbles. Guess that was too close for comfort for the magic.

So they start naming names. Each takes a turn to name people they know. Wayzz wanted to cry. They don't know that many people. They should just say it. Ask. They even named a few names outside of the minimal description that Truxx and Wayzz could give. But they couldn't name Monarch.

Nino throws in the towel first, "this is impossible."

Alya whines, "I know. Who could it be."

And the Kwami both fall to the ground. Disappointed. It was a great idea, but they named everyone (it feels like) in Paris but the true culprit.

They save Roarr next. And ladybug thought about giving the miraculous to Juleka but could trust that she would keep Roarr a secrete from Rose.

Ladybug asks, "Cat Noir, you wanna hold onto the Tiger for me?"

And Cat Noir put the miraculous on.

The five heroes weren't able to rest for long. A new battle was heading their way.

Carapace whined, "oh, I can't wait until this is over."

Rena Furtive agreed, "does this man have a life?"

Viperion offered, "Sass says he has a family but is unable to tell me anything further."

Cat Noir says, "the magic won't let the Kwami say anything about the past holder."

Ladybug sighs, "let's go feed our Kwami, and then we'll deal with this."

Using the dog miraculous, Cat Noir was able to swipe the mouse Miraculous from... Lila again. And she lies again. No, she wasn't akumatised, but the police believe her when she lies and tells them she was under Monarch's influence and they believe this bullsh...

The five heroes roll their eyes. Whatever. Lila is harmless. She gave them two miraculous so far. Come on Monarch. Keep them coming.

Ladybug kept the mouse miraculous, but this one she kept around her neck. She thought about bringing Mylene onto their team but knew she would tell Iven. And she can't allow another couple to know each other's identity. This new team works because she is working with Cat Noir. The temporary permanent heroes are under her AND Cat Noir. She isn't alone anymore. She never really was. She chose to be alone before.

Monarch gave the heroes a few days off. But when he came back, he came hard. He was running low on miraculous. They are not going to win this. So after a few days of plotting, Monarch sent out another akuma. And gave this akuma victim the power of the dragon.

And this time Monarch came really close to winning. He ripped the ring off of Cat Noir. But Cat Noir was also transformed using the dog and the tiger.

"Fetch."

And he had his ring back. He hugged Plagg. If he didn't have the foresight to use the ball, he might have lost Plagg.

They did win the battle. And they retrieved the dragon.

Ladybug decided Kagami could join the ranks of the temporary permanent heroes.

One day after a battle, he found Felix searching his room. He was still transformed and decided he needed answers.

Then he saw a Kwami. 'The peacock?' And it suddenly made sense why no more sentimonsters were wreaking havoc on the city.

Cat Noir growled as he slid into his window. Felix hadn't noticed him until he spoke up, nearly startling Felix. "Nice broach, Felix." Nearly.

Felix turns around and fakes an innocent look. Cat Noir wanted to roll his eyes.

"Felix? I'm Adrien."

'I'm not that pathetic sounding.' Cat Noir takes a deep breath.

"Nice try. I know it's you, Felix."

Felix smirks, "whatever. Like I'm scared of you? Want to tell me what bug's pet wants? Is she here?"

Cat Noir glares, "just me."

Felix snorts, "off-leash?"

Cat Noir growls, "why did you do it? Why betray..." Cat Noir pauses. He doesn't care about Ladybug.

Felix finishes the thought, "Ladybug?" He nearly laughs at the thought.

But Cat Noir shakes his head. "No. Your cousin. Adrien?"

Felix was surprised, "Adrien has nothing to with any of this."

Cat Noir argued, "you used his face to betray Ladybug. Do you even care what you did?"

Felix glared, "you're not getting my Miraculous." Felix turned to walk away. He stopped when he heard,

Cat Noir sigh before offering, "you can keep the peacock."

Felix was confused, "you're not the guardian. You can't make that type of decision if I'm not mistaken."

"I'm not going to try to take it from you. I won't tell Ladybug I spoke with you. But I know you know who Shadowmoth is."

Felix questions, "and if I do?"

Cat Noir demands, "tell me his name!"

Felix smirks, "his name?" Then teases, "I don't know his name?"

Cat Noir growls. "you traded the miraculous for the one on your shirt. I don't care why you did it, but I'm not stupid. You know his name. You have what you want, you do not need to protect Shadowmoth."

Felix glares, "your not that smart if you can't figure it out. He doesn't want to rule the world. Just give him your miraculous! It would be easier."

Cat Noir couldn't believe his ears. He always knew his cousin and him were nothing alike, but this was just... "I don't care what he wants." He still loves Felix. They used to be so close. What changed. "You hurt M'lady. You know his name. Tell me the damn name already."

Felix glares, "give me your miraculous."

That changed things, "what? You know I'm not going to do that!"

Felix rolls his eyes, "that's an order and we both know how keen you are to orders."

Cat Noir squinted his eyes, "excuse me?"

Felix smirks, "you're just like my pathetic cousin. Weak. Do as your told and don't dare speak out against your superior. For him it's my uncle, for your it's the bug. I promise you Shadowmoth doesn't want to do anything bad with the wish. He just wants to bring someone dear to him back to life."

Cat Noir snarls, "that's not true. And I don't care. You, him, no one is taking my miraculous."

Felix laughs, "No one? Sure. Why are you so worried about discovering Shadowmoth's identity? Once you defeat him, Ladybug will take the ring from you."

Cat Noir growls, "you don't know what you're talking about."

Felix moves closer to him, forcing Cat Noir to take a step back. "Oh but I do. Let me swipe the ring so Shadowmoth can be one step closer and this can be over sooner."

Cat Noir growls, "Cataclysm!"

Felix stopped. "Well played. Well, this was fun."

But Cat Noir pounced on Felix. Now on top of Felix with the cataclysm inches from the peacock miraculous, "Transform, I break it. Sorry, Kwami, but I'll break the miraculous."

Felix starts to laugh, "ballsy. Who are you and what have you done to Cat Noir."

Cat Noir growled, "who is he."

Felix shakes his head, "I can't tell you."

Cat Noir nearly cries, "why? Just stop this. You can walk away. I just want the name!"

Felix shakes his head, "I don't like the man, but revealing the identity will only harm my cousin and I can't do that."

Cat Noir was surprised, "I doubt it." Then adds, "you betraying Ladybug hurt your cousin more than Ladybug and I defeating Shadowmoth would."

Felix growled, "just drop it."

Cat Noir says, "I need a name." Felix tried to move, but Cat Noir's grip tightened and his cataclysm got closer to the miraculous.

Felix growls, "get off."

Cat Noir snarls, "name!"

Felix yells, "I won't let you hurt my cousin!"

Cat Noir shouts, "you don't care. Stop playing with me. You don't care! You never cared about Adrien, so give me that name."

Felix whispers, "fuck you." Then watches the ring start to beep. "Better head off. You're going to de-transform."

Cat Noir snarls, "Claws.

Felix was surprised, "wh..."

"in."

Felix's eyes widen. Adrien. Is. holy... what the ...

"You think it will hurt me?" Adrien climbs off of Felix. "Let me be the judge. I need that name, Felix."

Felix slowly stands. He watches Duusuu happily greets Plagg, "Plagg." And she wrapped the poor antisocial Kwami in a hug. And then she noticed the other two Kwami, Barkk and Roar. "You guys too."

Barrk says, "yeah. they saved a few of us from Monarch's clutches. No thanks to that jerk."

Felix rolls his eyes, "shut up, Kwami."

Adrien says, "do not speak to the Kwami like that."

Felix ignores what Adrien said, and instead says "Of course your him. That makes so much sense. You are so clingy and desperate for love."

Adrien growls, "just tell me his name."

Felix argued, "you won't believe me!"

Adrien argues, "don't care! Name. Now!"

Felix orders, "Duusuu. Get away from those Kwami."

Adrien smirks, "oh come on cousin, let the poor Kwami play together."

Felix questions, "excuse me?"

Adrien shrugs, "while we talk."

Felix doesn't say anything.

Adrien was the first to break the silence. "I need that name! You know Shadowmoth's real name. Who is he."

But Felix remains silent.

Adrien decides to ask. "You had all those powers. But you traded it for one power. Explain that."

Felix shrugs, "this one intrigued me."

Adrien pushed, "why?"

"I want my father back." Felix lied, expertly.

Adrien finally understood, "you want to create a sentimonster of your..." Adrien pauses, but

Felix continued, "of my father, yes."

Adrien explains, "it won't really be him though."

Felix nods, "mom won't know that. And I can forget that."

Adrien nods, "okay. Fine. Whatever Felix. You can keep the peacock. But you know who Shadowmoth is. I need that name."

Felix says, "Shadowmoth wants to bring someone back to life too."

Adrien rolls his eyes, "I told you I do not care."

Felix continues, "but it's your mother."

Adrien was confused, "why would he care about my mother?"

"Because. he's your father!"

And Adrien's world came crashing down.

Adrien fell to his knees. He didn't know what to think. Eventually, he looked up, "please tell me you are lying."

Felix asks, "Duuduu, am I lying to my cousin?"

Duusuu confirms, now the with the spell broken, "no he's not lying. I'm sorry, but it's true. Your father is Shadowmoth."

"Monarch." Adrien corrects.

Felix asks, "now you know. Now what?"

Adrien growls "I stop him. That's what." He stands up, "what are you doing here anyway?"

Felix asks, "my monocle."

Adrien says, "in the top draw in my bathroom. See yourself out when you're done." Then Adrien said, "Plagg, claws out."

Adrien knew the identity of the villain, but he couldn't figure out a single way that he could let Ladybug know without blowing his own secret identity and he so did not want to reveal himself now that he knows his father is.

Cat Noir sat perched on top of the rifle tower.

Roar asks, "aren't you going to call..."

Cat Noir shakes his head, "there is no way to tell her without telling her about Felix."

So Cat Noir went home. He'll figure it out. His father will not win. Knowing it was his father, he needed a plan. And he had a few ideas that didn't require him to reveal his identity.

One by one, the miraculous were retrieved until only Fluff remained. Monarch was angrier than ever. Cat Noir knew how to make him mad. And when you are angry, you make mistakes. Monarch didn't understand how they suddenly got what seemed like the upper hand, but he still duel transformed with the bunny and went into battle.

It was so close. He just needed to...

But Ladybug, using the bee miraculous immobilized him before he could travel back in time. Just before he won all the miraculous. He needed to stop himself from losing any of the miraculous.

Cat Noir noticed the camera. All eyes were on them. He couldn't breathe, She declares, "Paris. It's over. We have stopped Monarch's reign of terror."

Cat Noir felt like crying. He knows what's about to happen. Everyone will know his father did all this.

Ladybug ripped the broach off of Monarch. And she gasped.

Carapace was stunned, "Gabriel Agreste?" He quickly grows angry, and he repeats "Gabriel Agreste?"

And the city knew his father was Monarch.

Cat Noir watched the police drag his father away. He saw Natalie rush to his aid, but she was cuffed and placed in a separate car.

Ladybug said, "it's over. Meet me at your rendezvous points. I will be there shortly to collect the miraculous."

And she watched them take off. Cat Noir quickly took off the dog, tiger, horse, and monkey to give back to her. He thanks her, "thank you for trusting me to hold on to them."

Ladybug smiled, "it's over."

Cat Noir was anything but thrilled, "uh yeah, it is."

Ladybug asks, "want to show me your face?"

Cat Noir asks, "are you going to take my miraculous?"

Ladybug says, "I just thought you would want to do a reveal. We can talk about that later, but..."

Cat Noir says, "I love Plagg and I can't lose him now." Because he knows he doesn't have anyone now and if he would just grow a pair and tell her his identity. She's asking for it and he is too weak. Too scared. He can't lose Plagg.

Ladybug kisses him on the cheek, "your my partner till the end. I'm here when you're ready."

And Cat Noir was gone. He ended up back at his empty house. Now that all of this is over, the school will probably resume on Monday.

Adrien de-transforms. He jumps onto his bed. Seeing his father de-transform made it real.

Plagg pouts, "are you okay Adrian?"

Adrian ignores him, "just go to sleep Plagg."

Adrian closed his eyes.

"Adrian please talk to me." Plagg tried.

Adrian turned onto his side with his back to Plagg.

Plagg didn't know what to do but he knew Adrian wasn't acting normal. He wasn't even crying. And Plagg knows Adrian has a sensitive heart and should be crying right now.

Plagg tries again. This time landing sprawled out on Adrian's face. "I know you are hurt right now. Please talk to me about it."

Finally, Plagg got a reaction, but now the reaction he was hoping for. Adrian shot up with flared nostrils. He growls "will you just shut up right now? You know nothing. And you know what, you can just stay silent. Don't talk to me. Acting as you get it. You get nothing." And Plagg's mouth was magically sealed. Plagg noded. Adrian turned his back on Plagg again shutting his eyes tight. Tears freely flowed from his shut eyes. Plagg flouted over to the couch. Eventually, Plagg allowed himself to fall asleep.

Plagg was soon woken up by Tikki.

Plagg waved.

Tikki says, "sorry it took me so long, I wanted to wait until Ladybug fell asleep since Cat Noir doesn't want to reveal his identity just yet. Which I understand. Considering. So I didn't want to risk his identity."

Plagg smiles and nods. He wants to thank his sugar cube for being so considerate of his holder, but in Adrien's fit of rage, he said the magic words that kept Plagg from saying anything. Plagg doubted Adrian knew what he was doing when he ordered Plagg to stay silent and Plagg was almost positive once Adrian calmed down he would even feel guilty.

"How's Cat Noir doing?"

Plagg touched his mouth. Tikki's eyes widened, "he silenced you?"

It was Plagg's turn to widen his eyes. Plagg led Tikki to Adrien's desk. With wobbly hands he jots down on a piece of paper, 'don't tell her.'

Tikki was confused, "what?"

Plagg quickly writes, 'he didn't know. He said something and he was just angry.'

Tikki pouts, "that's an excuse now?"

Plagg glares. He quickly jots down a threat, 'don't mess with him. This was stupid.'

Tikki says, "but Plagg, what if..."

Plagg really wishes he could yell at her. He angrily writes, 'he's nothing like that son of a bitch!'

Tikki reads it and calms down, "I know, but..."

Plagg snarls and Tikki doesn't finish her thought. 'no buts. You leave my kid alone!'

Tikki places a hand on Plagg's shoulder. Plagg shakes her off and writes, 'your not taking another kitten from me.'

Tikki gasps, "your thinking about her? Now?" Tikki notices a few tears fall to the ground. She sighs. "Plagg, that wasn't me." She continued talking despite noticing Plagg started writing again. "You know that was all Ryder. And I hadn't even..." Plagg shoved the paper in her face.

'You knew! You should have told Kitty! Or the very least told me. Kitty was ambushed. And now all these years later I finally have another holder I adore and love and who loves me and you going to take him away from me!'

Tikki shook her head, "I'll do my best to make sure mar (bubbles, because though Plagg knows her name, his holder doesn't) Ladybug doesn't take you from him, but I'm just a Kwami Plagg."

Plagg jotted something down on a new piece of paper before shoving the paper in her face again, 'Kitty never treated us like Kwami's. She treated us like people. Like friends. But you chose Malbug's side. Just cause you were his Kwami didn't mean you needed to be on his side!'

Tikki glared, "he was the guardian at the time. He did what he saw fit. He did what he thought was best for Kitty and for you."

Plagg jotted something else down. When he was done, Tikki swiped it before he shoved another paper in her face. She read what he wrote, 'Kitty should have been guardian."

Tikki rolled her eyes, "ever think your bias."

Plagged grabbed the paper and jotted down, 'I am.' Which Tikki read over his shoulder, 'but Kitty should have been the guardian."

Tikki sighs, "maybe we leave this in the past Plagg. No one was perfect in that story! Not me, not you. Neither Kitty nor Malbug. The guardians weren't. Mistakes were made, but we have the good memories of both Kitty Kat and Malbug. I wish things ended differently too, but just remember all the good times the four of us had together. And then after Malbug was elected as temporary guardian of the box..."

Plagg jotted down, 'everyday party.' Then glared, 'only when Kitty was around.'

Tikki sighed, "I admit, Amelia had a heart of gold. She was a perfect holder for your power..." She looked toward Adrien, and says, "please encourage him to tell Ladybug who he is. And make sure he knows this is not his fault. Ladybug is in love with him. I don't think she could hurt him by taking you away."

Plagg nods.

After Tikki's visit, Plagg couldn't get back to sleep. He just sat there staring at the black tv screen thinking about what Adrian must be going through. Adrian wasn't wrong. A kwami doesn't understand human feelings that well, and Plagg may be the worse kwami to talk to about feelings, but Plagg knows Adrien. Adrien shot up screaming and Plagg rushed to his side, still worried. Adrien looked around and held his hands out for Plagg to land in.

Adrian sat up and asked, "did that really happen?"

Plagg nodded.

"It really was father this whole time."

Plagg doesn't say anything. Even though he wants to, he is still bound silent.

"Ladybug is going to take you from when she realizes I was too dumb and blind to see the villain in my own house. She's finally ready to let me help her. I can finally become her partner again. She wanted to reveal herself to me and not just her but the temporary identities too, and finally, she'll learn who I really am and maybe... You know I always thought once we revealed our identities that maybe we'll you know and now I can't tell her who I am if I want to keep you in my life. Besides she could never fall in love with me now knowing my father was Monarch."

Plagg wanted to comfort his boy, but he still couldn't speak. But Adrian finally noticed.

"Listen, I'm sorry I yelled at you last night, I was just upset. I lashed out. I didn't mean it. Plagg, please don't ignore me." Plagg's eyes widened. He did not want Adrian to think he was ignoring him in this crisis he was having over some petty fight. Plagg was not that petty.

Plagg rushed to the desk to snatch another pen and paper. Plagg jotted down 'you ordered me to be silent and as my holder, I must obey your orders.'

Plagg handed the paper to Adrien who gasped, "you're allowed to speak."

Plagg rushes to hug his cheek and says, "I would never ignore you, kid."

Adrien apologized again, "I had no idea I even said something like that. I didn't know you..."

Plagg pulls away and says, "it's fine Adrien, I know."

Adrien forced a smile, "thank you Plagg. You are the best, you know that. Well better get ready for school."

Plagg looks at the clock. "It's only 3:05?"

Adrien shrugs, "so. Not like I'm getting back to sleep."

Plagg smile faltered as he watched Adrien push himself off the bed, "uh kid? Maybe you should take this day off?"

Adrien shook his head, "no. I want to pretend everything is normal."

Plagg whispers, "I'm sorry, but Adrian... It's not..."

Adrien forces another smile, "I know, but let me pretend for one more day that my father cares enough about me to not be the evil villain that has been hurting everyone in my home city. That he loves me enough that I am enough that he doesn't have to be evil and try to bring mom back by hurting people. Let me pretend that I'm enough and I don't have to be some perfect son and he doesn't need mom to be happy because I'm enough."

Plagg waited until he was sure Adrian was done, "you are enough, Kid. You're enough to me. And you're enough to your friends and to Ladybug."

Adrian laughed, "wait until she finds out I'm Cat Noir. And I heard Nino's reaction to my father being Monarch. He hates me."

Plagg shook his head, "no. Do not think that way, Adrian. No one is going to blame you for this."

Plagg noticed the tears pricking the corners of Adrian's eyes.

"Isn't it enough that I blame myself? I wasn't good enough for his love. He needed mom to make us a family again."

Plagg hugs Adrian's cheek, "please don't blame yourself. You were always good enough. Your father is the dumb one. He never could see how special you were. Because you are a great kid and he should have spent time with you and now he should be kicking himself that he won't even be given the chance."

Adrian wiped his eyes with his sleeves, "I'm going to go to school."

Plagg didn't say anything. He knew this was probably a bad idea, but he also wanted to see his kid smile for a few more hours. Plagg shrugged as he watched Adrian head into the bathroom, 'if he wants to play pretend for a couple of hours before it really hits the fan...'

"You can't prove that Mayura was me. I need to leave. Someone has to be there for Adrien."

The officer sighs, "someone will go pick the kid up. Going to have to be investigated along with you and Armand Gorzo. And his father."

Natalie panicked, "Adrien had nothing to do with this."

"How would you know?"

Natalie bites her lip, "Where's my lawyer. Mr. Agreste had to of hired me a lawyer."

The officer starts to laugh. "Lawyer? I'll get you a lawyer all right. But Agreste cannot afford his own lawyer let alone yours."

Natalie was confused. "Excuse me?"

The officer saw no harm in explaining, "they froze the assets during the investigation."

"Mine too?" Natalie stopped breathing as she waited for an answer.

The officer explained, "all except that United States account you have. They were unable to touch it at this moment, but believe me, they are working on it."

Natalie realizes she was holding her breath. She quickly sucks in a breath of air before she growls, "I was not the villain here."

"Maybe not or maybe so. You are under investigation for these crimes. Whether you were Mayura or not we have strong evidence that points to you being an accomplice. You are under arrest. We believe you assisted Gabriel Agreste, Miss assistant."

Natalie doesn't know what else to say. She always knew deep down even if she wasn't wearing the Miraculous when Gabriel was unmasked, people would assume. But the officer is claiming they have evidence. Natalie realizes, 'he can't know. They don't. They only want me to admit I was Mayura or I was assisting Gabriel with these crimes.' Natalie chooses to say, "Adrien is innocent. Who is going to pick him up if you have his father and me? Is Armand free to go?"

The officer shakes his head, "no. He's in the same scenario as you. Strong evidence says he was a knowing accomplice."

Natalie whispers, "but... But... Um, he was innocent too."

The officer smirks, "and you know that for a fact because?"

Natalie almost gave herself away. She doesn't even respond. She instead chooses to ask, "what happens to Adrien."

"He's a kid... Underage an all. He's under investigation but at this point, no evidence points to him helping his father."

Natalie assures, "he didn't. He wouldn't."

The officer explains, "he will not be placed under arrest at this time, but he is still not permitted to leave Paris limits until the investigation is over. He's going to be placed in Foster Care for the time being."

Natalie screams, "no. You can't do that. Let me take care of him. House arrest or something. You haven't officially proven I've been working with Gabriel when he was Monarch."

The officer laughs, "no judge in their right mind is going to permit that, and keep in mind your boss has made an enemy out of the entire city. I don't even think our most noble judge is going to be able to be unbias."

Natalie asks, "what about Amelie. Gabriel's sister-in-law. Adrien's aunt."

The officer explains, "She was just recently notified of the situation actually."

Natalie pushed for more information, "And? She's going to come to take care of Adrien, right?"

"She didn't want to get involved." The statement was made as if it didn't matter.

Natalie was in disbelief. "Unbelievable."

The officer says, "I believe it. I understand. She lives in Londen and the kid can't leave Paris for the unforeseeable future. Why would she burden herself with helping the most hated family in this city."

Natalie asks, "did you say Foster Care?"

The officer only nodded. Natalie remained silent for a short moment before the officer decided to explain, "the kid will be fine. Someone is heading over to his residency shortly to pick him up."

Natalie argued, "you can't. No."

"He has no other family. No other choice. He is an underage child who may be an accomplice to his father's terrorist acts. A grown-up has to take responsibility for him. I think it will be better than a holding cell."

Natalie remembers what Gabriel asked her not too long ago.

"Natalie, if this ever ends with me losing, please make sure my son is taken care of. Above all else. No matter what, make sure Adrien is safe!"

"Can I have a phone call please?"

Officer shrugs, "sure, mind me asking who are you going to call?"

Natalie whispers, "I asked for a lawyer. You shouldn't even be talking to me without one."

The officer snorts, "but then you kept talking to me. Asking me questions. Almost right. If you keep talking after requesting an attorney, that voids your right to have an attorney be present while we chat."

Natalie sighs, "whatever. I just want to call Adrien's aunt."

"Weren't you listening, we called her. She is not concerned with Adrien's safety. She never liked Gabriel and let me tell you what she said. She told us that we should look into her sister's death because she thinks Gabriel had something to do with it."

Natalie shakes her head, "no, that's Emilie's sister. Gabriel has a sister. Let me call her."

The officer looks over the notes one more time, "I don't see a sister of Gabriel listed. I don't even see parents. Off them too."

Natalie admits, "In a way. There American. And Agreste wasn't their last name. Gabriel changed his last name when he moved here from the United States."

The officer laughs, "wow. When you think a man couldn't become more despicable. He's pretending to be french. Never would have known. His french is better than most officers in this building."

"He just wanted to start over. He and his sister don't talk, but she always wanted to meet Adrien. I'm sure she'll take Adrien in. Please let me try. Let me call her."

The officer understood and went to grab the jail's tablet. Natalie was confused when she was handed the tablet, "uh, I need a phone?"

The officer nodded, "it is a phone. We upgraded, you know."

Natalie pouted, "how do I reach the operator?"

The officer squinted, "the who?"

Natalie repeats, "the operator so I can find Gabriel's sister."

The officer is young and explains, "I don't know what that means lady."

Natalie bites her lip, then a thought struck her. "Can I get online with it?"

Officer explains, "with limited access, yes."

Natalie asks, "it's still free for my first call?"

The officer says, "you watch too many movies. Jails have upgraded. As long you behave, you can make unlimited calls with your assigned tablet. It's a privilege that can be pulled at any moment."

Natalie was surprised but thankful. She knows she has to move fast before they lock her only available bank account that they could not touch yet. And she knows she doesn't keep a lot of money in that account so Krissy is going to need every cent. So thankful she didn't have to also pay for this call was godsent.

Natalie was surprised to quickly be able to access her contact list which she saved to her cloud. 'thank god I am resourceful.' She virtually copied the number she had saved for Krissy Jordan.

She placed it into the call window and pressed the green button. She listens to the ring. She was scared. Will she pick up a foreign number? Will she agree to come to Paris for Adrien? All Natalie can do is wait as the phone rings. And rings. 'She's not going to answer.' Ring. 'Please pick up.' Ring. 'Krissy, please. I may not...'

Her thoughts are interrupted by a groggily, "hello?"

Then she looked down at the time. 6:22 in the morning. 'oh shit.' It's 12:22 in the morning in New York. 'oops.' Too late to back out now.

"Salut Krissy, it's C'est Natalie."

"The fuck? Who? What?" After a second she screams, "It's 12:24 in the damn morning!"

Natalie knows her English needs work but tries anyway. "Krissy? It me, Natalie."

"Who?"

Natalie sighs, "Gabriel um... Assistante."

Laughing could be heard before krissy say "my bougie brother Gabriel has his bougie assistant who can't talk calling me at midnight." said with New York-style slang. "This oughta be good. Not like I gots money or anything. So Natalie, why don't you skip the bullshit and tell me why yous wake me up at midnight when I have to wake up at 6:00 am to get to work by 9:00 am?"

Natalie speaks slowly hoping Krissy will understand her. "Gabriel est en prison."

"Oh? Are you saying my brother is in jail?"

Natalie continued, "Jail Oui. Oui, Moi aussie je suis en prison."

Krissy sighs, "what the fuck did you just say?"

Natalie says, "um, me. Jail."

Krissy asks, "so you and Gabriel are both in Jail?"

Natalie says, "Oui, both us en Jail."

"what Gabriel do, steal someone's design? Plagiarized or whatever?" Then sarcastically added, "Insider trading?"

Natalie almost understood what Krissy asked, but not entirely. Not like it matter. She knew that Krissy could not have guessed what happened in a million years

Natalie simply says, "no" then takes a deep breath, "Un, uh Monarch. Gabriel Monarch. See internet. Um, Hawkmoth. Shadowmoth. Monarch. Look, Monarch. Internet.

It was silent for a few minutes, Natalie finally asked, "Excusez-moi?"

Krissy snaps, "I'm looking it up. Give me a second."

After a few more minutes of silence, Krissy starts laughing, "Oh my lord. You two are the dumb fucks"

Natalie knows she was just insulted because she knows Krissy, but it's hard to retort when you don't know what the insult means.

But Krissy continued, "terrorizing Paris and fighting children? And our parents and I are criminal white trash. Should have become a terrorist, then I would be on Gabriel's high-class level."

Natalie says, "Gabriel thought it right at time..."

Krissy cuts her off, "no. Stop. I don't want to hear it. Why the fuck are you calling me?"

Natalie says, "You et Gabriel have differences..."

Again Krissy cuts Natalie off, this time with a sarcastic laugh, "differences? Differences? That's what you Paris fucks call it. I hate Gabriel. He did a lot of damage to me and my parents. Gabriel just abandoned this family to go to Paris and pretend he's something he ain't and then once he made his money you think he would help his parents and the only person helping support our parents, but no. Not Gabriel!"

"Adrien..."

Krissy snaps, "you mean the nephew I have that Gabriel said I'm too American Trash to meet? I too ghetto or whatever and his precious sheltered boy cannot be surrounded by my bad influence."

"I get ye mad um Gabriel. But Adrien est en soi. Need you."

"Adrien, what the fuck?"

Natalie was frustrated, "you know. Um..."

"I don't fucking know. I speak English and only fucking English. I'm not cultured like my dickweeve brother."

Natalie says, "without you, Adrien no adult. No 18!"

Again silence fell on the other line before Krissy finally said "he needs someone to look after him?"

Natalie says "oui, oui."

Krissy snaps, "well, Gabriel should have thought about that before he went psycho super villain, huh?"

"He needs you. Adrien need love. Gros love. C'est Un Super Garcon. Vous I'laimerez."

Krissy was annoyed, "what, um Gros is like many or something? Oh, like he needs lots of love. Got it. Um that's about all I understood. Almost like you started speaking a foreign language at the end there."

Natalie rolls her eyes. "Good. He good, um no 18. Good no 18. You love!"

Krissy laughs, but this time not a cruel or annoyed chuckle. An amused chuckle. "You trying to tell me he's a good kid that I would love?"

Natalie answered, "Je pense, um mean I think."

"I may not know much about France, but I assume it's similar to the U.S.! If Gabriel does not sign over custody to me which he won't cause he a petty asshole who hates my supposedly ghetto ass, the child becomes a ward of the city and I can't take off that much time from work. I can't even afford to fly to Paris. And I just don't have time for a fight with a city that most likely wants my dumb fuck of a brother dead, who probably gonna give me a rough time."

Natalie could only pick up a few words from Krissy's rant. Natalie said, "custody, oui. Gabriel sign custody pour vous. um Tu! I making sure."

Krissy scoffs, so Natalie continues, "I know tu um no funds for trop cher. Uh Expenses?"

Krissy says "the word is expensive." Then snaps, "the noun is broke bitch. The adjective is shit broke? Great that you realize I am a shit broke bitch.."

"They um froze Agreste..."

Krissy mutters, "not even our damn last name."

Natalie continued anyway, "finances."

Krissy chuckles, "so Gabriel is a broke bitch now, too?"

Natalie explains, "wire funds?"

Krissy sighs. "You going to gives mes some moneies to go pick this kid up?"

Natalie was surprised, "really. Oui."

Krissy says, "yeah, okay. I'll take him in."

Natalie asks, "oui? Custody Oui?"

Krissy snorts, "Oui Oui. Custody oui oui. Let me get my account number, I'll um I guess call off tonight and come to pick up the kid. Take custody oui oui."

Natalie explains, "no much um monies in one banque, um beaucoup monies."

Krissy sighs, "whatever Natalie. You English shit and I really don't remember no damn french from high school. So just give me a second."

"Merci, Krissy."

"Ready for my Account Number?"

"numero de Compte?"

"The account number, um. You know the damn account number. The number."

Natalie wanted to make sure they were talking about the same thing before making a mistake. "Numero et number."

"Uh, Number? Oh like Numero is number in french?"

Natalie says, "oui. Um, Numero de compte. Not Numero de routage?"

Krissy repeats, "assuming here, Routage is routing. Okay so compte is account. Yes the compte. The numero de compte."

Natalie gave a curt nod as she said "Compte?" She quickly jots down the Account Number and then asks "Numero de routage?" Krissy replied "the routing number is..." and she supplied that number as well. And Natalie again jotted it down as quickly as it was given.

Natalie asks, "uh repeat back?"

Krissy grunted but didn't object. So Natalie first reads the Account Number back and Krissy confirms, "yeah. or oui." Then Natalie reads the Routing Number back and Krissy confirms, "yup. I mean oui."

Natalie asks, "moment, s'il te plait."

Krissy shrugs, "whatever."

Natalie opens up another tab and is able to pull her banking information up. She hit transfer and after a moment it said successful. "finie."

Krissy was silent as she checked her bank account and she nearly dropped the phone. "Not a lot my ass."

Natalie understood that and now she regrets transferring the money. For a moment she was afraid Krissy wasn't going to use it to come to Paris to take care of Adrien, but then Krissy said.

"If I get dressed now, there is a flight to Paris leaving at 4:45 am. I'll text my boss now and I ought to be there by what's that like 5 pm. Or wait time difference. That's like 10:00 pm then right, Idk. I'll get there when I get there."

"Merci."

After she hung up the officer was able to finally re-enter the room. Laughing all the way. "That was the funniest conversation I ever witnessed."

Natalie growled, "you were listening to me on the phone?"

He shrugged, "so? It's recorded. What's the difference?"

"I need to have Gabriel sign custody into his sister's name. I need to speak to him."

The officer sighed, "I'll see what I can do. I assume you also want me to reach out to the courts to draw custody paperwork?"

"On Gabriel Agreste's behalf unless you want to let me go?"

The officer chuckles, "you have grown on me, Mayura."

Natalie smirks, "nice try. Still not me."

He shrugs, "Want to go to your cell?"

"I'd rather visit Gabriel first."

Meanwhile with Krissy.

Krissy makes the dogs get out of bed. Once the dogs were on the floor, one of the cats jump onto the bed. "Now if they had to get down, don't you think imma push your ass down?" She grabs the cat and throws the baby down to the floor. She quickly makes the bed and at that point, the two dogs and two cats jump onto the bed. They go back to sleep.

Krissy sits down at her vanity and as fast as possible starts her makeup. She puts on some foundation. Concealer next. She goes for a simple gold and silver eye shadowy look because it's easy. She doesn't do anything fancy with the eyeliner. No additional line. Just followed her upper lash line and then the same on the lower lashline. She decides against falsies and just puts mascara on. Some blush. No lipstick. She brushes her hair and doesn't straighten it. She puts it in a ponytail and looks fine for air travel. She yawns.

She looks at the animals huddled on her bed. She sighs, "whose even up here?" She takes a closer look. She notices a black cat and says "okay got my baby girl Demonica. Then sees the orange cat, "Ray, you should be with your mommy and daddy."

She flips each brown dog over and says, "oh, Brownie, you normally sleep with Grandma and Grandpa. Is it because Hershey is up here? What happened Hershey? Ma piss you off."

Hershey rolled over making Krissy laugh, "yeah ma must have pissed off Hershey."

Krissy walked out of her room and knocked on the door next to hers. After some tumbling, "Aunt Krissy?"

Krissy smiles down at her self-proclaimed nephew, Andrew. "Hey, little guy. Go wake up Aunt Daisy and Uncle Ronald for me."

Andrew smirks, "why?"

Krissy snorts, "cause I fucking said so, kiddo."

Andrew's smirk grows slightly, "and I asked why."

Krissy looks around teasingly, "want me to take ice cream off the grocery list."

Andrew gasps, "you wouldn't?"

Krissy confirms, "oh but I would."

Andrew suddenly high-tailed it to Ronald and Daisy's bed. Krissy nearly fell over with enjoyment when she watched her friends get startled awake by Andrew jumping onto the bed. She laughed out loud when Ronald actually fell from the bed.

"What the heck, kiddo? You know what time it is?" Ronald exclaimed as he pushes himself up from the floor.

Andrew points to the doorway where Krissy was standing with a 'toodles' style hello, "she made me."

Krissy snorts, "I asked him to wake you guys up. I didn't say give them heart attacks."

Daisy checks the time, "girl, you have work in a few hours, don't you?"

"Nope. Calling off."

Ronald starts laughing, "you were just complaining about the pilled up bills on the coffee table yesterday. You said and I quote, everyone needs to pick up extra shifts if possible or get additional odd work."

Krissy growls, "Believe me, I fucking still stressing about that shit, but something came up. I gotta run to Paris France real quick."

Daisy sits up, "real quick? That's like what, a 10-hour flight?"

Ronald laughs again, "fuck the distance, where the fuck is she getting dough like that from? You hit the lotto girly?"

Krissy rolls her eyes, "no I didn't hit no damn lottery. I gots just enough to goi pick up my damn nephew because guess what Daisy, I joining yo' damn club."

"And what damn club is that?"

Krissy explains, "well girl, that brother I tell you guys about that thinks this family worthless and criminals cause some people to steal or sell drugs or something. Near damn everyone has a prison record and are addicted to something in my family. But we should have become fucking terrorists and assaulted children and then we would be a-okay in my asshole brother's eyes. If I just known putting the beat down on a child and terrorizing a city was what my brother wanted, I would have of course done it in a heartbeat."

Ronald picks Andrew up and then questions, "wait, what?"

"My brother was Hawkmoth, then he changed his name to Shadowmoth, and then Monarch was the last name before being defeated. A supervillain. An asshole supervillain. And the son of his that I always wanted to meet is now alone and his dipshit assistant wants me to go take custody. She sent me some monies to do so. So, to sum up, I just like you."

Daisy snorts, "my brother's not a villain, he's an abusive creep. And they refused to arrest the bastard. And I had to fight for custody of Andrew. "

Krissy shrugs, "Yeah, same shit. Club buddies. So I gotta get to the airport."

Ronald says, "wow. So we can go back to sleep?"

Krissy snaps, "no dumb fuck. I need one of you to drive me to the damn airport."

Daisy asks, "you never left the U.S.?"

Krissy scoffs, "ugh, I barely leave New York. I know I've never been out the damn country. Got a fucking point here?"

Daisy shakes her head annoyed, "I'm saying you know you need a passport to get into Paris France."

"I ain't fucking stupid. I gots a passport. Fuck."

Ronald asks, "Hey chill mommas, Daisy just confused as to why the fucks you would got a passport considering you don't got travel money."

Krissy shakes her head, "don't worry abouts it. Now get your ass up and drive me to the fucking airport or I'm kicking your asses out of my house. Andrew is welcome to stay."

Daisy says, "Andrew, you go back to bed. Ronald, you drive Krissy to the airport."

Ronald whines, "oh why me?"

Daisy says, "because I have work in a few hours. you off, If I recall. Hurry back 'cause you gotta watch Andrew today."

Ronald dramatically sighs, "fine." He grabs his car keys and says, "after you."

Ronald and Krissy both waive bye to Andrew who yawns as they close the door. Suddenly someone emerges from the door next to Ronald and Daisy's room.

A woman neither has seen before. Krissy snaps, "who the fuck are you?"

Ronald snorts, "looks like Jamal at it again."

Krissy mutters, "looks like Jamal going to get my foot up his ass."

Jamal does emerge, "oh you guys up? Sup. This Destiny. And she fly, right?"

Krissy says, "oh sure, she almost flew right out that window. I told you, Jamal. You gotta send out a memo when you bring these girls in here."

Destiny snaps, "who the fuck you think you talking to like 'dat. 'Cause honey, I ain't the one."

Not a good idea to threaten Krissy, especially not in her own house. Ronald gasped with widened eyes and clasped his hand over his own mouth. Before Krissy had an opportunity to snap on this Destiny character, Jamal positioned himself in between Krissy and Destiny and said, "whoa baby. That's my girl, Krissy. This is her house. You can't talk to her that way."

Destiny says, "well her white pasty ass need to learn some respect."

Krissy shouts, "Pasty? Who the fuck you think you is? Oh, Jamal! Jamal. Worse booty call you had yet. I tell you. Murder is about to happen! I forsee me killing her ass. Get her dumb, country ass out my house before we gots the damn po'lice here."

Destiny scoffs, "you going to let her talk to me that way?"

Jamal shakes his head in disbelief, "girl, this is her house. And She my number one, ye'know. And besides, you ain't even a bad bitch, why you trying to act hood right now?"

Krissy scoffed, "what you saying Jamal, she don't even belong on this side of the damn tracks?"

Jamal answers truthfully. "No. Her daddy got money and I'd put money down she never been in a real fight. And I know you would whoop her if you two got down."

Krissy sighs, "I gotta go. Yo'ass can stay, but you don't bring petty shit like race into this house, and don't disrespect me. Not my fucking house."

Jamal smiles, "that's my girl right there. Ain't she great?"

Destiny rolled her eyes.

Jamal explains, "she was leaving anyway. Going to walk her out."

Krissy watched the two walk toward the staircase and then turned to Ronald, "what a fucking man whore, I swear to god."

Ronald laughs, "girl, chill the fuck out. You ready? You got a bag?"

Krissy nods, "right there. Wanna take it down to the car? Start the bitch up. Be down in a few. Gonna give my parents the great fucking news."

Suddenly they hear a voice downstairs whine, "why so much shouting?"

Krissy shouted down the stairs, "my fucking house. I'll shout if I fucking want to."

Ronald snorts and shouts downstairs, "just go back to sleep Isabella. You gotta learn how to turn over in Krissy's house." He picks up her suitcase and starts his way downstairs. "These people don't know the definition of quiet."

Krissy says, "be right there."

Krissy knocks on the door. "Ma! Dad!" No answer. Krissy opens the door and two cats jump off the bed after one another and run from the room. She watches the gray cat viciously attack the white cat.

She berates, "Ash, knock it off. Leave Vanilla Ice alone."

Jamal, walking up the stairs, says "is your damn cat fucking mines up again?"

Krissy chuckles, "hey, Vanilla Ice should know how Ash gets. This Ash's territory. He runs shit around here."

Jamal laughs, "Vanilla Ice, let's go to bed." At that Vanilla Ice marched into Jamal's room."

Krissy then enters her parent's bedroom and sees three dogs plopped onto her mother. "Maya, your mommy sleeping on my couch, go to her. You're suffocating my mommy." She shooed Maya off her mother's face. But the dog only walked to her father's side of the bed. Her father wakes up right away,

"get off of me you damn dog." Then he sees the dog, "not even my fucking dog. Get. Go on. Get." Maya slowly walks over the other two dogs to get off the bed.

Her father says, "meatball?" And makes a kissy sound. Meatball moves from his position on Mary's, Krissy's mother, legs to lay near Gabriel's (once a sr) head.

Krissy laughs, "be nice, daddy." Krissy then pets her dog, Artemis', head that was resting her golden head on Krissy's mother.

Her father asks, "da'fucks you doing in my bedroom at this hour. Finally committing us?"

Krissy shakes her head, "your so silly daddy. Nah, I'mma be gone for a little bit."

Her mother stirs awake, "where you going?"

Krissy says, "Paris." Both her parents push themselves up. This woke her mother up.

Her father says, "Paris Texas?"

Her mother adds, "for what?"

Krissy explains, "no Paris France. And Gabriel is in jail. So his son needs someone to come take custody. I'mma go take custody and bring him back here."

Her father snaps, "and put him where? We ain't go no more damn room? We got Isabella and her daughter sleeping on the couch in our living room. We have Ronald and Daisy sharing a room with there nephew. Jamal and Regina share a room. And Oliver is sleeping on a dog bed in our living room."

Mary laughs, "can't turn down a friend in need Gabe. So who called you?"

Krissy says, "his assistant who can't speak English by the way."

Gabe snarks, "you can't speak french baby girl."

Krissy laughs, "no shit, daddy. Natalie sent me dough for this trip. I figured I can purchase or just rent one of those fancy translation devices so I don't lose my cool in a country that probably doesn't want my ass there."

Gabe starts laughing, "I can see you shouting 'cause no one understand you and prob' be like speak English god damn it."

Krissy fakes an insulted gasp, "I'm not that fucking insensitive or crazy."

Gabe rolls his eyes, "whatever, you still have not mentioned where the kid going to go? A house is full of people and animals. We have no more room for no damn body."

Krissy sighs, "he's my kid now once I take custody. I guess I'll have to shack him in my room like I made Ronald and Daisy do with Andrew. Or we can do something like a kids only room or something. Daisy going to pop any day now and now I got Adrien. And Andrew and Elana. So... Idk, that probably won't work. I'll just shack him in my room. I gots a queen. We can share."

Mary says, "the fire department is going to shut down our house. We are at the limit. We gotta move."

Krissy shakes her head, "with what monies?"

Gabe asks, "Well you taking Gabriel's son in, he ain't going to wire you his fortune. Not like he gonna need where he going. What the hell he do anyway? Inside trading? Plagiarism? Can you plagiarise clothes?"

Krissy rolls her eyes, "probably if you steal someone else's designs I guess. And no because they froze all his assets for the investigation. Listen, I explain when I get back. I love you guys."

So, now that Gabriel was caught, we can get on with the story. I can't imagine everyone being supportive of Adrien after his father is discovered to be a terrorist. From here on out, it is the aftermath of Gabriel's Incarceration. I had to include a few oc's to get the story I wanted. But I am going to keep them as minimal as possible. I love the idea of Gabriel abandoning his family and not letting them meet Adrien because they do not fit into his upper-class life.
