Chase

I don't own the art. I wish there was such a thing for Cat Noir and Ladybug to drive their own vehicle. Mostly every superhero has a vehicle of their own.

(Adrien's POV)

I was talking to Luka alone on his boathouse about what I did last night but I did not say anything about my father being Hawk Moth. Luka was very shocked about half of the story and I showed him the wrapped bandage on my stomach underneath my black shirt.

"Dear God, Hawk Moth gone brutal." He said.

"Yes. I can't fight him on my own." I said.

"Why didn't you tell Ladybug? Fighting alone is suicide" Luka asked as he put his electric guitar aside.

"It's complicated and yes it was foolish of me to not get some help," I said.

"Tell me the truth, Adrien. I may know both secret identities from you and Ladybug but I would never tell it to anyone. Snake's honor" Luka raised his hand to promise.

"You really wanna know?" I asked and he nodded, "Very well but it's gonna be a bit of a shock. Hawk Moth....is....." I took a deep breath to say the truth, "He's my father" I let it out.

"Your father?!" Luka gasps.

"Yes, he's behind all akuma attacks. I just can't believe he would hurt his own flesh and blood." I said.

"How long have you known it was him?" Luka was still shocked.

"A year ago, that's why I ran away and faked my disappearance," I answered.

"But why did you become a criminal? You know it's a ticket to prison" Luka was not mad at me anymore since I told him the truth.

"I had to steal to survive as Cat Noir. I didn't have a choice. Yes, it was wrong but I couldn't die at a young age. If I was really dead for real, I would have made Marinette and my friends suffer too much. Think of Cat Noir as a street cat" I said, finishing up with painting my nails black and wait for it to dry.

"But well at the cost of your reputation," Luka said.

"Yeah I know but you saw I helped Ladybug defeat Stormy Weather. And I have saved her a few times as a criminal. I'm not that heartless, Luka. But there's a reason why. My father knows I'm Cat Noir which is why I had to be an outcast so he doesn't get his hands on my miraculous. He's not the father I know anymore. Especially how he lied to me about the world being dangerous and my friends being a bad influence. He destroyed my life, Luka" I said with a little anger in my voice.

"Some father he is. But you're still welcome to stay here." Luka said.

"Thanks but I'm a lone wolf, Luka. Aiden and Cat Noir do things alone. But I'm still your fake cousin. Also, I figured out that Marinette is in love with Adrien. How long have you known?" I asked, testing my painted nails to feel if they are dry.

"For some time, seen her swoon over you a lot of times," Luka said.

"It's no wonder she stutters whenever I'm around. Why couldn't she tell me?" I sighed that I blew my chance with her.

"No idea. She didn't stutter with me." Luka shrugs.

"I noticed. I just thought she was in love with you. I've been in love with Ladybug but whoever she is underneath the mask, she would be so beautiful" I said and I can't force Luka to tell me who she is.

"You'll see in time," Luka said.

"I hope she doesn't get mad that I'm Adrien, Aiden, and Cat Noir at the same time," I said and I heard Juleka coming in. She noticed I used her black nail paint but I nervously handed it back.
