Well I thought I was done with this but it turns out I had more ideas. I'm probs going to have more to say about this. Reviews are always helpful.

Adrian slumped against a wall, last time he had run away he had been boiling with pent up frustration and anger. This time he was spent and empty.

He wanted to go back home and let his father explain away the black and purple butterfly that had flown out of the top story of their home, but he couldn't make himself face his father right now. It all fit too well. He cried a bit and then stood and pulled up his hood.

As he walked out of the ally he bumped into a familiar bulk. It was the Gorilla. The man gestured at the car.

"I can't" Adrian replied

The big man was quiet for a moment before saying the most consecutive words Adrian had ever heard from the man: "Drive with me, talk it out. If you don't want to go back I'll find you a place to stay." There was no awkwardness or clumsiness to it.

Adrian went with him. The gorilla gave Adrian the shotgun position rather than his usual seat in the back.

As they pulled away The Gorilla spoke, "Two things that might help: first off until you decide what to do I'm not your bodyguard, so call me by my first name, Sebastian."

Adrian nodded ashamed that he had not even known the man's family name.

"Secondly" He continued "I know that you are Char Noir"

Adrian gasped

"I figured it out after that thing with the hypnotist," Sebastian continued "But you needed your space and your secret. And Paris needed you"

Adrian thought back and realized how rarely the Gorilla had gotten in his way when he needed to transform. It kinda made sense.

Sebastian had his hands on the wheel and his eyes fixed on the road. Adrian unloaded telling him about how he had felt alone and his father had never been there for him. The huge man sat and listened as Adrian explained the black butterfly at the top of their house.

". . .And I don't think I can go back" Adrian finished.

The gorilla smiled bitterly "I get it" he said putting a deep sympathy into the words.

Adrian wiped a tear out of the corner of his eye and was surprised to see Sebastian's brows furrowed in anger. He waited a moment and the expression passed

"Tell you what." The big man intoned "You can stay at my place until we get things figured out. I don't think David will mind."

"Who is David" Adrian asked

"My husband" The Gorilla replied. If the young man didn't know better he would swear that a smile had flashed across that stony face. Adrian was once again ashamed at how poorly he knew this man. He hadn't considered the notion that the Gorilla could have a family. He was also embarrassed by how surprised he was that Sebastian was gay. He had never taken the time to consider who the man was.

On the drive to Sebastian's flat there was little talking. Sebastian was deep in thought wondering how he could pull this one off. On one hand Gabriel would not be okay with this and the law was on his side, even if Sebastian had been legally in the right money had a way in the courts. On the other hand however He could not let Adrian go back to his father. With that as his starting point the only thing to do was to take the kid home and hope that when they talked it out either he or David would figure something out.
