If She Was Evil

Chap 5

Marinette sat down on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She paid no attention to Chloe and Alya when they entered the room. Chloe and Alya jumped onto her bed.

"What's up?" Alya asked, clearly noticing the disturbance in Marinette's face.

"Huh? Oh uh, nothing. No, everything's fine!" Alya cocked an eyebrow but shrugged it off.

"I gotta go get some air." Gabriel snapping at her still left her in shock, so she felt like she needed to get out into the open, and that's just what she did.

"Ok so, what's the information you found?" Zoe shook her head. "I'm not telling you anything yet, relax and sit down with us. Nino just set up a cheese platter with crackers."

"Since when did Nino prepare snacks and food?"

"Since a long time ago! If you hadn't been too focused on catching Ladybug, you would've known." Adrien sighed. Maybe he should take a break. Just for a little while at least.

Adrien sat down on the couch and grabbed a cracker and put some cheese on it. "Mmmm," he sighed with satisfaction. Is this what a vacation felt like? Adrien propped his feet up on the coffee table and ate away his frustration, surprisingly slowly.

After about 2 hours of being lazy, Adrien had fallen asleep. Zoe was getting more and more excited to tell him the information she had discovered, and was mad that he had fallen asleep. She did want him to relax, but she also wanted to see his reaction to the news she would be giving him.

"ADRIEN!!" She tried yelling. She did it in his ear too! But he didn't wake up! He had DEFINITELY needed more sleep obviously. Zoe tried blowing a horn, wacking him on the head with a shovel (don't ask where she got these things, it's Zoe), giving him a wet willie. Finally she was about to give up.

"Why don't you try pinching him? Doesn't that always work or somethin'" Nino said lazily.

"That's right!" Zoe went up to Adrien. "Ok Adrien, this is going to hurt. Got it?" She put her nails to his skin and pinched him awake. "OW! Zoe why the HECK would you do that?!?!?!?!"

Zoe rolled her eyes. "To get you AWAKE sleeping beauty." Adrien rubbed his arm. "Ok, ok, I get the messag: you need me awake. FOR WHAT?! I was SLEEPING! That happens once in a blue moon. Ow! Damnit Zoe!" Zoe shrugged. "I guess you'd rather go back to sleep than hear the INFORMATION I got for you." Adrien's eyes widened. "Ok, ok! I'm awake!"

"Ok. I didn't find much, but I did find this; Marinette was stolen from her birth parents. That's pretty much all I found, but that's a lot, considering how secretive the information about her is kept." Adrien thought for a moment. "Stolen from her parents? But...I swear I remember her talking to me about her dad..."

"My guess is that someone is pretending to be her dad and lying to her." Nino clapped his hands. "Let's go find her parents then!"

"Slow your roll cowboy!" Zoe said. "We don't even know who her parents ARE." Adrien rubbed his chin. "Then we figure that out," he said. "And how are you going to do that exactly?"

"I'm going to talk to her."

"What?! Are you crazy?!" Zoe and Nino said at the same time.

"Maybe, but that's our only chance of actually finding out her family history." Adrien's watch beeped. "Well, time for me to go get my rearend kicked, again." Adrien sighed. Nino and Zoe exchanged the same look of amusement and worriedness.

Adrien left the room.

"He's going to get killed."

"Yes he is."
