Chapter Two: Chat Noir
Adrien Agreste was the son of Hawkmoth the terrorist. That's how everyone saw him. Well, almost everyone. His friend, Nino, Nino's wife, Alya, and his wife, Marinette saw him as a person being misjudged by society. Alya and Nino had known him before the world found out Hawkmoth's true identity. They stayed with him through all the hard times after that event, and they remained close to this day.
He'd met Marinette when he was eighteen. She had tried to talk to him, but he'd rejected her advances. Thankfully, Nino had talked some sense into him by the next time they had run into each other. That would have been the biggest mistake of his life, ignoring her. He hadn't known just how important she was going to be in his life.
They had dated for two years before he proposed to her. They had gotten married a few weeks after that. It was kind of hard to believe that they had been married for almost two years now. The two of them worked well together, and there were no secrets between the two. Well, except for one, but Adrien could never tell Marinette. It would worry her too much. No, Adrien could never tell her that he was Chat Noir.
He, like most of his fellow spies, had been trained when he was fourteen years old. He had been tasked with finding and defeating Hawkmoth. He and his partner, Ladybug, had worked together on this mission. When he found out that his father was Hawkmoth, he completely shut down for a while. He didn't talk to anyone and just ignored the world. Of course, 'Guardian' , his employer, knew this and let him have his space.
He felt bad for how he treated people at that time, but he managed to make it up to most people. He hadn't been able to contact Ladybug to explain himself. At the time, he was devastated. He had kind of been in love with her. Eventually, he got over it. Now, he was going to spend a beautiful afternoon with his beautiful wife.
As he parked his car, his phone buzzed. Adrien opened it to discover that he had a message from 'Guardian'. It read:
Chat Noir, I require your
assistance for one last
time
Sir, what do you mean
by one last time?
I'm letting you go
after this mission.
You have been loyal
to me for a long time,
And I'm sure your
wife would love to
have you home more
often
Thank you, sir. What
do you need my help
with?
We need you to
check-in on an old
ally of your father's.
Don't worry, it isn't
someone your close
to.
Anything else I need
to know before
preparing for this
Mission?
You'll be working
with your old
partner, Ladybug.
I know the two of
you won't disappoint.
Good Luck.
Adrien felt himself mentally groan. She was gonna be furious at him when they met up. At least, he'd get to apologize now. He stepped out of his car and walked into the restaurant. He headed towards the table they were going to have lunch at. He was surprised to see Marinette already there. He felt all his worries melt away as she smiled at him. He decided to focus on his wife the rest of the afternoon and worry about Ladybug some other time.
