To Feel and Love: a Miraculous story,
Episode two: A Miraculous Origin, Part One,
Let's get squeaky
Jade-Six years before the first chapter-Turtle
It was a dark night in Paris as an elderly man stumbled into his home, he was bleeding from the chest and mouth, he'd never been in a fight like the one he'd just barely escaped from, he held his bleeding wounds as he fought to keep himself on his feet, He managed to get into the bathroom and turn on the taps, he looked into the mirror, seeing a bloodied and bruised version of himself, his once bright green armour now scuffed, his conical hat was scratched up from the many times he'd been forced to either block strikes or lose his head,
He spat out blood and checked his mouth, he was lucky to be alive right now, "Shell off," he groaned, his outfit vanishing, and his Kwami Wayzz floated out of his now inactive bracelet,
"Master" the small green Kwami gasped as the elderly man slid down the wall behind him, "You shouldn't have been so reckless," it chastised him,
"There was... no alternatives," Wang Fu spat, "Hawkmoth... needs to be stopped," slowly his eyes began closing,
"Master?," the turtle Kwami asked, "MAST-"
Wang Fu should've faded that day, off to life's final mystery,
But as he drifted into what should've been his final slumber, he saw flames, flashes of reality fixed together past and present, his pathetic showing against Hawkmoth, his greatest sin, and white tiles and worried faces, before he again saw the orange glow of his old home, he felt the heat now just as clearly as he did back then, and the pain inside his heart at what had been lost, he turned, and next he saw Paris burning as well, Hawkmoth's chilling laughter echoed throughout his mind,
When he awoke to the atrocious beeping he'd quickly figured out what'd happened, Wayzz had called the hospital pretending to be him, after he was released he knew what he had to do, on his way home he brought a cooler and when he finally got back he loaded the Miraculous' safely into the box and left his home, he hadn't been in Paris long, but he would not watch another home burn, and thus began his search,
And though he searched for many days and nights it wasn't until he was at the bank that he met someone with potential,
As he went to deposit his money he saw his bank had a fleet of officers of the law surrounding the bank,
From what Fu gathered there was a robbery in progress, apparently they'd agreed to release all but one of the hostages in return for an armoured truck to get away in,
The robbers were now coming out with their last hostage, she was a young teenage girl around fourteen to fifteen, she had straight neck length raven hair and at first he fought the look on her face was her trying to be strong, the robber holding her had a knife to her neck,
As the robbers tried moving down the stairs to the armoured truck, Fu would learn exactly why she had that lack of expression, but first he would fail again, he took a few quick steps back and made to transform, but his bones cracked and he dropped to his knees as he stared up at the would be victim as people screamed for the police to do something,
The first words he ever would hear from her lips would chill him for years to come, "Shoot us all now," she stated, "That way they won't escape,"
"Shaddup girly!" one of the robbers cried hitting her with the butt of his rifle, he aimed the gun at her, "Get in the va-,"
The girl pursed her lips and spat in the robbers eye, "She spat at-," then she raised her leg, "me?" he squeaked out as he dropped holding his crotch, before anyone could react she kicked him down the stairs, where the police nabbed him, two shots rang out afterwards, two snipers Fu guessed as two more robbers were sent down either dead or simply wounded he didn't care, his focus was on the girl, the last robber looked around confused of what to do,
And in his fear the girl picked her legs off the ground forcing the robber to support both her weight, his weight, the weight of the money tied to his back, and the gun on his back, and all the weight combined while he had two feet on two different steps meant there was no balancing, both he and the girl rolled forward down the steps, blood spraying as his knife accidentally cut the girl's cheek during the fall, quickly the two were surrounded, guns aiming at the robber, "Let her go!" Fu watched as the girl was released and the robbers were arrested,
Then his fears deepened, As the police congratulated and scolded her for her reckless action she kept the same blank stare on her face, then an officer continued to chide her, "We could've handled this without you doing anything reckless," they spoke,
The raven haired teen just blinked, "I am aware of my actions and their consequences," she stated, "Therefore my actions are not reckless, but rather calculated for the best result in this situation," she explained,
Another cop pointed at her face, "You could've died missy!" he stated, "what would your parent's feel if they saw that?"
The girl shrugged, "No idea," then she turned around and walked back inside the bank, after a few minutes she walked back out, past the officers, past the onlookers and just walked down the street, Wang Fu regained his balance and walked after her, though he gave a glance back at the robbers,
They'd been on a crime spree lately, they'd been hitting bank after bank for months, yet they'd been stopped alone by one girl, She was clearly worthy of being granted a Miraculous, but there was something off about her demeanour,
When Wang Fu watched her enter a bakery he saw as two clearly worried adults embraced her, both had a mix of panic and relief on their faces, but she just stared blankly ahead, no trace of fear or anxiety, there was no expression on her face,
She held up a piece of paper despite the arms around her, "They wouldn't accept the check after the robbery," she stated,
"Who cares?" Her father sobbed holding his daughter close, "You're safe now,"
"Marinette we were so scared," The girls mother cried, "I'm just glad you got away from that dangerous situation with only a cut on your cheek,"
But the girl just stared forward,
Like she had no emotions about the situation what-so-ever,
Fu needed to know more about her, thus he transformed and waited for her to leave, eventually she went up to the roof and just stared off into the distance, seeing his chance to speak with her he climbed to the roof his wounds no longer pained him now that he had changed, but as soon as he changed back he'd feel what pain he missed out on,
As he landed on the roof he expected something from her, but she turned looked at him for a second, and then turned back, "I am the Jade Turtle," he said with a bow, "And I protect the city from the shadows,"
"Why are you on my parents bakery?" She asked,
"I saw you at the bank," He stated, "It took real bravery to do what you did," he said, trying to figure out why she had yet to react to anything,
"Not for me," She said, "I don't have an ounce of bravery"
"Are you sure?" he asked,
"How could I not be?" she asked, "I've yet to feel anything, let alone brave," she walked past him and opened a trap drawer that led to what he assumed was her bedroom, "I'm going to tell my parents your here and they'll call the police," she said before she entered,
Fu knew what he was about to do was wrong but he had to be sure,
He jumped over her aiming a fist at her face and stopping an inch away, "Nothing?" he asked, "not even a scream?" he lowered his fist, "I am an old man who could have any number of intentions with you,"
"I am aware of that," she said blankly,
"So why aren't you scared?" he asked, "Here or at the bank?"
"The same reason I wasn't scared when mother and father sobbed and held me," She said, "I don't feel."
He raised an eyebrow at that, "You don't feel anything?"
The girl shook her head, "Nothing," she answered, "I never have," she looked down at the cooler he had with him, "Why the cooler?" she asked,
He looked down at it, and nodded, "Well miss, as I already said I am the Jade Turtle and I protect the city from the shadows," he said placing the cooler down and opening it, he took the ladybug Miraculous in his hand for a second, then he placed it back and picked up the next box, "unfortunately I've been fighting for too long and my body is giving up on me,"
"And since I need a replacement I was thinking your lack of fear might make you a great candidate," he said, holding the box to her,
Marinette stared at him for a few seconds before she took the box, opening it away from her face before she looked inside, "A coin pendant necklace?" she asked, "You know how this appears right?"
"Put it on," he asked, "And you'll understand,"
Before she even touched the Miraculous she examined it from a few different angles before she took it in hand,
As she did the mouse Kwami Mullo appeared, "WARRRG!" she screamed in Marinette's face,
Marinette stared at Mullo blankly, "..." then she turned to the Jade Turtle, "What is this?" she asked pointing at Mullo,
"EH?! no reaction?" Mullo asked, "How did I not scare you?" the mouse Kwami demanded,
"I don't feel fear," Marinette answered, "Explanation please,"
"Very well," Turtle nodded, "but first, shell off,"
Marinette stared blankly as he changed into his normal clothes, then doubled over in pain,
"Are you alright?" she asked with no real concern in her voice,
"F-...fine" he gasped shakily getting to his feet, "My name is... Wa-," he took a few breaths, "Wang fu," he said, "I am the guardian of the Miraculous',"
"This," he pointed to Mullo, "Is Mullo the mouse Kwami,"
"Right," she nodded, "What is a Kwami and a Miraculous?" she asked, "What is a guardian? and why are you offering a teenager jewellery that seems to be cursed with magical creatures?"
"Well we Kwami are the spirits of the Miraculous, we're special beings with special powers that through the use of a Miraculous ordinary people can use as well," Mullo said,
"And where do Kwami and Miraculous come from?" Marinette asked,
"No idea," Mullo said, "About us Kwami I mean, I never really cared about that stuff,"
"I see," Marinette nodded, "And the Miraculous?"
"Made by humans with Kwami guidance so they could restrict our dangerous powers, see and communicate with us, and use our powers to help other people," Mullo said, "The guardian is the caretaker of all Miraculous and keeps us fit and healthy while they look for suitable people to take up the fight against evil,"
"I see," Marinette said, "And you think I'd be a good fit for this?"
"I have no idea," Fu stated, "But Someone needs to be out there right now," he looked at Marinette, "Shell on," he transformed again, before turning back to her "Take a month to think, Mullo will explain everything to you, I have more looking to do,"
Marinette watched as he leapt off the roof and hit the floor below, looking like the drop had barely bothered him, "If I change could I do that?" she asked,
Mullo nodded, "Yep, that's the base power of any Miraculous holder,"
"I see," Marinette said, "Let's go inside and you can tell me more," She opened the trapdoor letting Mullo enter first,
Fu nodded, he had no idea if he'd made the right choice but he was happy someone else might be patrolling Paris to keep innocent people from harm,
Thus he went home, needing more rest for his injuries,
When he woke up as he ate breakfast he watched the news, and smiled, it seems someone stopped several crimes last night, It seemed Marinette had taken her powers out for a test run, nobody had seen her though, and the few that had only saw a big eared silhouette leaping from rooftop to rooftop,
Fu took up his cooler again, he needed more people out there, at least one more before he actually started recuperating, hopefully he could trust this one with either the Ladybug or Cat Miraculous,
And again he searched high and low, and faster then he assumed he met the next person with potential,
He of course knew of Adrian Agreste, but he never expected to meet the boy in real life, let alone see him running as if for his life from something,
Seeing the obvious danger Fu transformed again, and followed Adrian from rooftops, he watched as this boy climbed fences, slid through small gaps in buildings, ran up walls, Even the Jade turtle admitted to himself it was impressive seeing someone move like that,
It made him wonder how good the boy would be with a Miraculous, thus he followed him,
Adrian huffed and puffed as he ran down alleyway after alleyway, used every advantage he had to escape the car chasing him, any problem he couldn't go over he went under, he had to be quick, his one act of rebellion against his father would surely go punished afterwards,
But he'd had enough of hearing Chloe talk about school, he wanted to know what it was like, to sit in class and meet people, maybe even help Chloe make some more friends maybe even help her be a little nicer to Sabrina, to learn and fail with a group of his peers, instead of Nathalie and him just sat in one of the many rooms of the manor just learning,
He knew his father would be mad at his bodyguard for ''losing'' Adrian, but Adrian would apologise personally to him, hopefully his father wouldn't fire him,
...
Okay now Adrian was starting to regret his choice to jump out of the limo,
Maybe he could convince Nathalie not to fire his bodyguard?
Regardless he had to keep going, no way was he going through all this trouble just to stop now,
He continued running, he was almost there,
He smiled as he saw the entrance to the school, Chloe even seemed to be there waving at him, He grinned and waved back, "Hey Chloe!" he said, then he realised she was waving erratically, and then he saw Nathalie step out of the door behind Chloe, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder and waving at Adrian,
Adrian skidded to a stop in front of the school,
"I..." Chloe looked at Nathalie, "I tried texting you," she said apologetically,
Adrian nodded and frowned, "Sorry Chloe," he said, "I needed to ditch my phone in the limo,"
"Well I hope you enjoyed yourself Adrian," Nathalie chided him, "Your father has been worried sick,"
Adrian rubbed his arm, "Yeah," he said, "When he gets back I'll be in trouble,"
"Gets back?" Nathalie asked, "You mean when he sees you at home?"
Adrian turned white as a ghost, "H-he's home?" he asked, "R-right now?"
Nathalie had her hands on her hips, "Of course he is," she stated, "His beloved son just leapt out of a moving car,"
"What?!" Chloe cried walking over to check Adrian, "Adrakinns you're not injured are you?" she gasped seeing a small cut on his arm, "You are!" she took a napkin out of her blazer and wrapped his cut tightly, "There," she smiled,
Nathalie walked in front of Chloe, "Perhaps you should leave now Miss Bourgeoise" she suggested, "You wouldn't want to miss school now would you?"
"How dare you?" Chloe asked, "My father, The Mayor would-,"
"Like to explain to Gabriel Agreste who allowed Adrian to attend this school?" Nathalie asked,
Chloe glared at her, but closed her mouth, "Bye Adrakinns," she said sadly and entered the school,
Adrian frowned, "It wasn't her fault I did this," he said,
"I know," Nathalie stated pulling him with her, "It is however My responsibility to keep you safe, and if your father knew just where you got the idea to go to school from," she kneeled down, "You want to keep seeing her right?" she whispered,
Adrian frowned tears in his eyes,
Nathalie frowned at him, "I won't say a word," she stated, pulling a tissue out of her pocket and wiping his eyes with it, "And I'll keep telling your father it's good for you to have someone your age to talk to," she said, "But school is a big step Adrian," she said gently,
Adrian nodded and turned to wait for the limo,
He gasped, there was an old man on a cane struggling to cross the street, and a car was speeding right for him, Adrian sprinted forward grabbed the old man and tackled him out of the way of the car, "ADRIAN!" Nathalie screamed,
"I'm okay!" Adrian called,
Nathalie let out a long sigh, "Thank goodness,"
"Good save my boy," The old man said as Adrian got up, then helped the old man up, "I'd have been roadkill if you hadn't moved so fast,"
Nathalie ran across the street and checked Adrian over, "Are you alright?" she asked in a panic,
"Y-yeah, I'm fi-," Nathalie silenced Adrian by pulling him into a hug,
"You could've been killed," she chided him, "We are getting you home," then she turned to the old man, "And you try to be careful when you cross the street," she hissed, she released Adrian momentarily and picked up her phone ordering the Bodyguard to park on the other side of the street as she was taking no chances,
Adrian realised there was something in his pocket, A small wooden box it felt like, he was about to pull it out but the old man stopped him, "not here young man," he said,
"You put it in my pocket?" he asked,
"A thank you gift for saving me," The old man stated, "open it when you're alone," he patted him on the shoulder and was about to leave until he noticed Marinette was standing in front of the school,
She stared for a second before entering, and bumped right into Chloe,
"Watch where you're going," Chloe hissed at her,
Marinette acted nervous flailing her arms around, "Woah s-sorry Chloe," she stammered,
Chloe stepped closer to her, "Yeah you'd better watch out," and shoved Marinette back, "Loser,"
Marinette took the push and her back hit a locker, Chloe flipped her hair and walked off to class,
As she watched Chloe walk Marinette thought, 'How I envy you' she thought, 'so filled with emotion,' Marinette picked herself up and went to class,
She sat in her chair and Chloe approached her again, "What are you doing?" she asked,
Marinette had no idea what she'd done now but Chloe leaned over her domineeringly,
"Um s-sitting?" She asked making sure to sound as confused as possible,
Chloe scoffed, "Not there you aren't," she said, "That's my seat," she pointed to the seat in front of where Marinette was sitting, "See that seat that I'm pointing to?" she asked, "That's where Adrakinns is going to be sitting," she said showing off her affection for said boy,
'Anger, confidence, joy, fear, and love? If I could feel anything right now Chloe, It'd surely be jealously' Marinette thought before she spoke, "Right, and who's Adrian?"
Chloe gasped, "You don't know?" she asked incredulously, "Adrian..." she smirked smugly, "Agreste"
The Classroom was suddenly alive with chatter, and Marinette knew why, he was a pro fashion model who was rather attractive she supposed, but apparently he wasn't very outgoing, spent most of his time inside his manor,
"He and I happen to be close friends," she stated smugly, she grinned haughtily, "Actually I'm really his only friend," she said checking her nails, "It's that age old story you know, childhood friends who will eventually become lovers,"
"So you want to watch over him?" Marinette asked, after Chloe nodded She pointed to the seat next to where Adrian would apparently be sitting, "Why not next to him then?"
Chloe rolled her eyes, "Because Adrian wants to make more friends then just me," she said, "I'm giving him that chance,"
'How kind of you' Marinette thought, Truly Chloe was her exact opposite, both young girls, one who felt nothing when jumping off a building, the other filled to the brim with emotion,
"Then why not sit next to me so you can see him better?" Marinette asked, "All I'll see is the back of his head,"
Chloe rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Because...," The class waited for her to continue her response, but eventually she glared at Marinette and sat next to her,
Sabrina looked crushed, "Wh-what about me?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Marinette asked, "You'll have to keep an eye on Adrian too," She pointed at the seat across the room, the person sat there would be on Adrian's right side, "That way you'll keep him safe,"
Chloe looked like she wanted to argue, but groaned, "that would be safest wouldn't it?" she asked, "Sabrina do as she says,"
"D-does this m-mean we aren't friends?" She asked Chloe sadly, lifting her glasses to wipe tears that formed,
"Of course not!" Chloe stated, "This is a job I can only trust to you," the blonde girl shot up and pointed at Sabrina, "If anyone bullies him and you catch it report it to me right away!"
Sabrina smiled and saluted, "Yes ma'am" and like lightning took her seat, she looked absolutely giddy, "Chloe trusts me," she mumbled to herself, and would continue mumbling to herself,
'Great, now I'd be jealous of the two of them' Marinette thought as class started,
And she was surprised how little Chloe interacted with her, mostly just copying what ever Marinette wrote down when ever she took notes, otherwise Chloe bothered herself with her nails, or her compact, and just left Marinette alone,
Though when dinner time came Sabrina and Chloe sat at the table she was on, but neither said much to her so she didn't care,
The rest of the day passed uneventfully, but at the end she was stopped from leaving the school by Chloe and Sabrina, "You," Chloe said, "I have a question for you,"
'I let too much slip' Marinette cursed,
"How would you go about getting a rich boy out from under the thumb of his over protective father?" Chloe asked without taking a breath,
Marinette blinked, "What?"
"Remember Adrian?" Chloe asked, "Well I want to date him through school, but his dad want's to keep him at home," she said, "I realised you're not as stupid as you look so I figured you might have a few ideas about how to proceed here,"
Marinette wondered what brought Chloe to ask her, then she looked at Sabrina, 'Oh right, not many friends,' she thought, "W-well, if Mr Agreste is really overprotective then maybe some studies about how separating kids from peer groups negatively effects them down the line?" she suggested,
Chloe nodded, "Of course, of course," then she whispered something to Sabrina, who whispered back to her, her eyes widening, "Ohhhh!" she exclaimed, "But how would that even work?"
Sabrina spoke up, "Well you could make your case to Mr Agreste and then tell Adrian to pretend that he can't really make connections," she said, "You might even be able to help by giving him some notes on the subjects we covered in class today, to help him study,"
"Great ideas," Chloe said proudly, "I'm glad I thought of them," Sabrina started clapping for Chloe,
"Another good way to convince him is to play on Adrian's sadness and show Mr Agreste how much fun the two of you have together, and of course to prove to him that you can keep Adrian safe," Marinette added,
Chloe placed her hands on her hips, "I'm on a roll today," she beamed, "Come on Sabrina we have a plan to make," Chloe said grabbing the glasses wearing girl and running off,
"R-right now!?" Sabrina asked,
"Of course Mr Agreste is at home right now, It'd be a shame if we missed him," Chloe stated, After they left Marinette went home,
CAT-Meanwhile-NOIR
Adrian stared at the floor as his father had just finished chewing him out, "Do you understand son?" Gabriel asked, "Why you must never leave this house?"
"Because it's dangerous," Adrian replied robotically,
"It IS dangerous out there," Gabriel stated clutching his side lightly, just a bruise he'd assured Adrian hours earlier, one he'd gotten when he heard Adrian had jumped out of a moving car, "Just yesterday their was a bank robbery, what if you had been there?"
"I don't know," Adrian said,
"Well I do!" Gabriel stated, "They'd have recognised you, taken you, and I'd have spent every penny I had to get you back home,"
"Maybe I shouldn't be a model then?" Adrian asked,
"You love modelling," Gabriel said,
"Yeah," Adrian said, "With Mu-," he stopped, Gabriel's eyes wide, Adrian just looked back at the floor, the room was quiet, and neither spoke,
Gabriel Agreste sat back in his chair, "To your room Adrian," there was no heat or anger in the words, just sorrow and guilt,
Adrian nodded, "Yes father," Adrian's tone matched his father's, and he turned and left the room without complaint,
As he left Gabriel looked at Nathalie, "Nathalie," he said wearily, "am I doing the right thing?"
She looked unsure, "I... don't know sir," she responded,
Gabriel placed a hand on his head, "Emilie was so good at things like this," he stated, "I have no idea how to talk to him half the time,"
"In my opinion sir, you're doing the best you can," Nathalie stated,
"Am I?" Gabriel wondered, "Last night I finally found the Guardian," he said, "and I utterly crushed him," he stated, "But the feeble fool had neither the Cat or the Ladybug Miraculous on him, I had thought to have him followed so that he might lead me towards my goal," Gabriel shook his head,
"They lost him?" Nathalie asked,
Gabriel simply nodded, "Perhaps it's a sign," He said, "That my wife will never be awoken, that fate has decreed her doom, that I should toss the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous' away and spend time with my son,"
"Sir after everything you're quitting now?" Nathalie asked, "What about Adrian?"
"He lost more then his mother that day," Gabriel steepled his fingers, "Today he jumped out of a moving car,"
"To make connections Sir," Nathalie stated, "Connections he won't need when Hawkmoth gains both the power of creation and destruction,"
Gabriel sighed, he took a coin out of his pocket, "Let fate decide," he said, "Heads I give up, be the father my son needs, tails I continue my search for the Miraculous,"
"You're leaving the fate of your son to a coin flip?" Nathalie asked,
"There's no man more just then I, and none more impartial, I see no race nor reason, and will hear no lie nor truth, what am I?" He asked,
Nathalie nodded, "Chance, sir,"
"Exactly," He stated walking the coin over his fingers, "Simple, unbiased, chance." he said flipping the coin, the doorbell rang as soon as he had his shock sending the coin off course,
He tried to watch where it went while Nathalie checked who was at the door through her tablet, "Hello?" she asked as Gabriel watched the coin vanish behind the bin, sensing Gabriel's annoyance she put the person's audio on her earpiece, "Yes well you must understand Mr Agreste is a very busy man, you can't just-,"
"Who is it?" Gabriel asked,
Nathalie swallowed nervously, "Miss Chloe Bourgeoise," She stated, "Here to speak with you,"
"How odd," He stated, "Send her in,"
Nathalie nodded, "Of course sir," and she pressed a button on her tablet,
When Chloe entered the large office of Gabriel she trembled slightly, after a quick check of the papers in her hand she then entered the room with utmost confidence, as if in her mind she'd already convinced him of her point, "Mr Agreste," she said with a nod,
"Miss Bourgeoise," he said, "What can I do for you?"
"Actually it's what I can do for you that has me here," She stated, placing several pages on the desk separating the two, then she took a seat across form him and tried to look as professional as possible,
Gabriel raised an eyebrow at her, "Really?" he asked, "and what exactly can you do for me?"
"Well," She tapped the papers on the desk she'd just placed, "These are studies I've done where I studied the effects home schooling has on a child," she stated, "Others are studies on children who've been removed from home school and placed inside the actual education system," she said,
"Ah," he said with a nod, "I've already studied the effects of Home schooling Miss Bourgeoise," he slid them back over to her, "And I've used what I've learned to ensure Adrian does not suffer any adverse effects," he stated seriously, "The actual education system on the other hand has numerous negative effects that I can't do anything about even as Gabriel Agreste A world famous fashion designer, and... well let's just say I'm purchasing a few technologically advanced institutes soon, yet with all my money and sway I can do nothing but keep my son here, to keep him safe," he said, "Is that all Miss Bourgeoise?"
Chloe stammered and sputtered, "Buh," she shook her head, "but what about Adrian sir?" she asked, "You are only as powerful a man as you are because of the contacts you had at a young age correct?" Gabriel nodded,
It seemed she'd taken time to research him as well, 'Good, knowing your enemy is the first step toward victory Miss Bourgeoise,' but he knew more about her, then she did about him,
"And Adrian would surely need those same type of contacts right sir?" she asked,
But Gabriel saw no victory for her, "Not exactly Miss Bourgeoise, you see as he is my son I have made sure that he already knows people of both great power and influence, people like yourself of course," he stared down at her, "It's not like he's going to meet anyone of immeasurable talent there anyway," he adjusted his glasses, the gleam of the thin light in the room making her no longer see his eyes, "unless you have evidence otherwise?" he asked,
Chloe couldn't stop her mouth from moving, "W-well there are quite a few talented people there," she stammered,
"Really?" He asked leaning forward, "Name one outside of yourself you've noted who has great talent," Gabriel could've smirked, the second she answered Sabrina he's dismiss her as being her friend then tell her just how talented the daughter of that cop really was, oh yes, Gabriel knew anyone of note inside that entire school by heart, he'd done so the second he'd heard of his son's daring acts to enrol himself there, work always did keep his stress down,
"W-well," Chloe said, "Marinette of course,"
Gabriel stopped, "Who?" he asked,
'Why did I mention that weirdo?' Chloe thought, 'Sabrina is way smarter then her, I should've mentioned her!' she took a breath, "Well you see," she put on a sad face, "Marinette, poor girl that she is isn't part of the elite class," Chloe said, "She's just a girl, but one with great talent," Chloe lied, she had no idea what her last name was, yet she had talent? what classes did that raven haired girl even take? "Designing" Chloe said, 'Yeah she was in my fashion design class,' she nodded, "Marinette has an extreme talent for designing fashion," she smiled, "It'd be a shame for Adrian to miss meeting such a talented young lady,"
"Really?" Gabriel asked faux sceptically seeing the lie for what it was, "I don't suppose you have any of her work on you to show?"
"I..." Chloe checked her pockets, and pulled out a balled up piece of paper, her eyes lit up, 'Yes I had Sabrina Steal it from Marinette at lunch as payback for talking back to me,' she remembered, 'This had better be good Marinette,'
Chloe straightened out the paper and slid it over the desk, where Gabriel accepted it, he studied the paper curiously for a good long while, he straightened his glasses, then he handed it back to her, "Not what I personally would call extreme talent," he stated, "But she has potential," this however meant that Chloe had convinced him that someone at the school had talent that had gone unnoticed by him, and where there was one, there could be more, and meant one point for her,
"Excellent" Chloe said,
"But," Gabriel stopped as he noticed Nathalie slipping out, he shook his head as he supposed she didn't need to be here, "There are still points against public schooling," he said,
"There's no perfect system sir," Chloe said,
Gabriel furrowed his brow, 'She's truly a politician's daughter, I underestimated you miss Bourgeoise,' he thought, 'but no more,' he leaned back in his chair, "and what chance do I have to keep my son safe Miss Bourgeoise?" he gestured around him, "Here he is safe, here he is happy,"
Chloe covered her mouth, and made a sound, "What was that?" he asked,
"N-nothing sir,"
Gabriel crossed his arms, "You laughed just now,"
Chloe's mouth opened, "I-," she was flustered, "I meant no disrespect sir," she assured him,
"Then what was so funny miss Bourgeoise?" Gabriel asked leaning forward, "I'd like to have a good chuckle myself,"
Chloe swallowed nervously,
Gabriel stared her down until Nathalie re-entered the room, "It's just that-," Chloe started, "A-Adrian," she said pulling on her shirt's neckline, "H-he's not really happy," she mumbled, "here" she squeaked out, "A-and out there I c-can prot-ect him,"
"Out" Gabriel spoke, his voice was as quiet as a whisper,
But Chloe did hear him and quickly she scampered out the room,
After he was sure she was gone, he turned to Nathalie, "Is he?"
Her eyes flickered to her tablet, "S-," she swallowed nervously, "See for yourself sir," she handed Gabriel her tablet,
He turned it on and to the camera in Adrian's room he watched as Adrian sobbed, "You're so stupid Adrian!" he cried punching his wall, Gabriel flinched at the sound, "You just had to bring up mum," he hit the wall again, and again the father flinched, "Sure that'll just make father understand everything won't it?" he asked, he slid down the wall and stared out of the window, "What I wouldn't give to be anyone els-," Gabriel turned off the tablet and frowned, his face reflected on the screen,
Gabriel sighed, "Nathalie," he said, "I should get back to resting,"
She nodded at him, as he stood up and left the room,
As soon as he was gone, Nathalie sent a message to Adrian, 'Your father has gone to bed, you're no longer grounded,'
And as soon as Adrian got the message he frowned, he never understood Nathalie, The message he just got from her was unempathetic, like she was just letting him know cause it was her job,
The text above it was different, 'If you want to go to school, act more broken up then you are when your bedroom's cameras light turns blue,'
Regardless he sighed, "Guess I have the reign of the house," he thought, 'as usual,' he sat on his sofa and emptied his pockets, then he fished out the little box, "Oh yeah," he said, he's forgotten all about the man who'd he'd saved,
He opened the box and inside was a ring, "Huh," he said taking it out,
A small black creature appeared in front of him and yawned,
"Woah," Adrian said, poking it lightly, "What are you?"
"A Kwami, I'm Plagg" it flew around his room, "Nice place ya got here" he said laying on his bed, "Got a real cozy rich kid vibe going on,"
"How did you get here?" Adrian asked,
"You ask a lotta questions," Plagg said, "But I've got a better one," he said, "Wanna get out of here?"
"Of course I do," Adrian said, "But there's no way,"
"Sure there is," Plagg grinned, "if you transform that is,"
"Transform?" Adrian asked, "into what?"
Plagg flexed, "A superhero,"
The blonde haired boy burst out laughing, "Yeah that'd be cool,"
"I'm serious kid," Plagg stated, "Using your ring you can transform into a superhero, and the best part? there's magic that makes it so no one out there will recognise you as long as you don't say the transformation phrase and transform right in front of anyone,"
"You're... serious?" Adrian asked,
"100%" Plagg stated, "Take it for a test drive, here to transform you say Plagg claws out, to turn back into yourself say claws in, oh but don't use cataclysm yet, you should train with that first," Plagg said lazily,
"Cataclysm?" Adrian asked, "What's that?"
"My special power, it destroys what you touch," Plagg said,
"Right," Adrian nodded, "No Cataclysm"
"Well transform already and go test your powers out," Plagg stated, "But I expect a lot of Camembert when you transform back," he said floating about, "By the way A Kwami gains power from eating, and the most power we gain is from our favourite food mine is Camembert, remember that,"
Adrian put on his ring, "So all I say is Plagg Cl-?"
"Stop" Plagg said, "Yes, that's it, the second you say it you'll transform,"
Adrian nodded and smirked, "Plagg Claws out,"
Adrian thrusted his fist with his ring on it forward, it flashed black and Plagg was sucked into it, Adrian struck a pose his legs and arms wide apart and his eyes shut and his head turned to his right closed fist, he swung his arm upwards dramatically, the ring gaining a green cat paw print, he brought his finger down over his face, creating a simple black mask over his eyes that he opened as it materialised, next both hands over his head making black catlike ears pop up, he brought his arms out as a black leather body suit moved over his chest, to either arm, and then down his legs as he spun around, he leaned back slightly and let his arms and legs tense as a black leather belt wrapped around his waist and fluttered in the wind briefly, he stomped down with his small black boots and clawed at the air with his gloves, before he struck his final and favourite pose, his right leg back, his left leg forward, both knees bent, his hips arched, one arm up, one arm down both elbows bent,
"Woah," he grinned looking down at himself, "Cool outfit" Then he smirked, if Plagg was right..., Adrian moved over to his window and opened it, "now if only I had a grappling hook or something,"
He checked his outfit and found what looked like a thin can with a green pawprint button on it, "Wonder what this do-," As he pressed it it extended out of the window and over the bars of his homes walls, "Woah," he grinned, "Alright, let's see what I can do," he smirked, he walked deftly across the pole until his weight got too much to one side then it tipped and sent him skidding across it,
He dived forward grabbing the bar in mid air and landed outside the bars on his feet,
He smirked, "Awesome," then he put his pole against the ground, "POWER POLE EXTEND" and thus he rocketed into the sky for the first time getting a true sense of freedom,

New Miraculous rule for the story, when someone is injured and they use a Miraculous their injures are... numbed? until they revert back at which point they feel all the pain they missed instantly, (Should probably create a list for these rules,)
Also a bit more work to Gabriel's character, I don't know why but now chance is his thing, I'd shrug but hey it's more then the actual show gave him,
More work for Chloe too, I actually kinda like her character, she kinda reminds me of Angelica from Rugrats,
Also I've discovered why I've suddenly become obsessed with the show, okay this is where I learn how old my audience for this is, and hopefully some of you get a huge nostalgia trip, but first a guessing game, (I'll add a few lines so don't scroll down too far if you wanna play the game,)
Okay so I'm thinking of a show, it's an animated show with mystical artefacts based on the Chinese zodiac, A show that's part comedy and part action,
Alright that's too broad, the main actor plays themselves, and a big draw of the show is the main actor,
The character travels the world looking for the mystical artefacts and often has a group of highly incompetent mobster looking badguys who try to thwart them but they get comically thrashed usually,
The main villain is a statue for most of the show,
The good guys are aided by a shield like organisation called Sector 13,
Alright those are your clues, now try to guess the show,

Jackie Chan Adventures
Did you get it or did you give up?
Either way leave a review,
Anyway this show kinda reminds me of Jackie Chan adventures, but the superior show is kinda obvious, I mean sure Miraculous has the talent of Shantae and Meliodas, two main characters who play the two main characters, but neither of them are Jackie Chan, and let's be honest, those guys wouldn't be able to handle the Chan-man,
Review corner: VVV
Guest(Johnnot): Well I'm kinda surprised no one's done this yet, like really done this idea, I only started the story cause I figured my other ideas were started already, A story where Marinette was Multimouse from the start, or a more adult story where her actual(Cannon) obsession with Adrian is rolled up a few notches and she's still a superhero, but again figuring that Multimouse is popular and many fans wanted a more adult themed story based around the characters, and of course the popularity of crazy girls/guys I combined the two ideas
But alas this is the first of either, also I took the simple name of the story and I actually feel kinda bad for that, cause think about in the future a hardcore Miraculous fan who loves Multimouse creates their story about Marinette being more mousey, and now they share a story title with a story about a crazy mouse girl who's a hero because she's crazy in love,
Unfortunately for them but not you I'll never ever stop,
I don't imagine I'll get many fans from this story though, this isn't exactly at the peak of Miraculous' popularity, but I write what I want to read and that's more Multimouse,
Besides Fans are fleeting, stories about crazy girls are eternal,
Today's question of the day is, if you could have any Miraculous which would it be? and why?
I'd choose the Mouse of course, because with it I'd become the ultimate annoying superhero who I dub PhatMouse,
Until Next time
Hush up,
