Hidden in the sand

Adrien destroys this man's whole career

As soon as Adrien got in the car, he phoned his personal doctor.

"Mr. Agreste, how can I assist you?"

"I need you to come to the estate, specifically for a 17 year old woman we don't know the severity of her condition but she may be unconscious. I am retrieving her as we speak, Nathalie will let you in, patient's name is Marinette, she will rest in my bed."

"Right away Mr.Agreste."

Huh, Mr.Agreste, that was new, maybe being man of the house wasn't all that bad.

Adrien and the gorilla were probably driving faster then they had ever comfortably gone before. But it didn't matter, something snapped in Adrien that day and took away all the brains in his body that told him to obey the people around him.

"Gee kid, we sure are going fast."

"Like you care Plagg, and sorry if I'm being rude but I don't care if we need to break the law."

"Oh neither do I, and I'm not complaining, I like this new Adrien, he thinks about himself a little more."

"I'm just worried about Marinette, how could Ms. Bustier forget her? How could I not notice she was gone?"

Plagg flew up around Adrien's head,
"It's not your job to take care of people, that's the grown ups job, I've been around long enough to see when adults are responsible and when it's they are simply babies raising babies."

Adrien didn't have time to reply before Plagg did a little air flip and gave him the best advice he could,

"Look, You didn't know Lila would get this bad, so you messed up, I messed up more times then I can count but hey if there is one thing those mess ups taught me, it was that, you can't do anything about the past, so let's kick some ass in the present."

Adrien nodded and opened a new google tab on his phone,

Laws against negligent administrators.

After an hour of fidgeting with his nails, Adrien arrived at the visitors center to find Marinette, huddled up in a blanket sitting on a chair.

"Marinette? oh sweet Marinette!"

She opened her eyes as Adrien picked her up bridal style.
"Adrien, hmmmm you're warrrrnmm"

He hushed her fearing that if she said anything else he would cry out of pure joy of seeing her safe.
"Shh shh it's okay Marinette, I'm here, Adrien's here, we're gonna go home now okay?"
Adrien turned to the ginger woman who gave Marinette her hospitality.
"Thank you for keeping her safe,"

"Of course, I don't know how but she managed to get left behind from the bus, it's a miracle that she made it up the hill with all her exhaustion."

"Oh don't worry, I'm going to make sure the school sees the proper authorities. Thank you again Ms."

She nodded and watched him carry Marinette out the door. Marinette, in her sleepy pain medication induced stupor tried her best to talk.
"Where's my, purse?"

"It's right here, don't worry it wasn't opened."

"You're warm, mm body hurts because of the bees. Makes me give a little more respect to Chloe huh?"

Adrien noticed her shivering, oh his poor princess was cold! He rushed her to the car while keeping conversation.
"Chloe?"

"She was queen bee, with the sting bee gun, she could hurt someone bad real probably."

"Yeah Chloe's venom could probably hurt when it's used on people," Adrien looked at her calf to find a dried wine red colored, cut staring back at him in the low light.
