Earthquake

Chapter 11 - Don't worry. Remember about the child

After hearing their story, Master decided to take drastic measures.

'It's time to end this,' he said, firmly. 'It's time to call for every single owner of the Miraculous.'

In practice it was as amazing as it sounded in theory. Using a box, of an unknown origins, the man, after putting in the right code, was able to transfer the chosen Kwami owners to him. After a lot of questions, he told them that it's an emergency way to gather heroes and that he doesn't do this every day because it's simply rude.

The first one to appear in the room was a tall, dark-haired boy in a brown outfit that imitated the feathers. Quickly flying through the list of existing Miraculous, Marinette stated that it has to be The Hawk. Just after him came his female and ginger version, probably The Squirrel. Were the twin siblings so similar that they both got the Kwami?

After a short conversation it turned out that they really are a family and they're from South America, they take care of small crimes and protect animals.

Without The Dragon, Dolphin and Butterfly, with The Hawk, Squirrel, Cat Noir, Ladybug and Master Fu's Turtle they realized that two people were missing.

'Time for China,' said the old-man, concentrating on the box and once again pushing the right buttons.

In the room appeared two adult ladies. One of them, short and dark-haired, had to be The Fox. She looked at the other. Tall, blonde and elegant despite the Panda outfit that she had on herself. She reminded her of someone. Involuntarily she looked at Adrien who was staring at her in disbelief.

'Mom?'

She did not expected that.

Marinette clearly didn't know what to do with herself. She was sitting on a couch beside the twins observing a touching scene of a meeting after years with mixed emotions. She knew that Adrien was sure about his mother's death, or at least about her going missing. Lucette Agreste on the other hand, had no reasons to think that and she knew it well that her son is somewhere there and is waiting for her. The question is, why?

'Why?' the blond finally asked, seemingly thinking about the same thing as her.

'Listen, sweety,' she sighed, pushing him to her arms length. 'It's a really complicated thing. I promise, I will explain everything to you and your father but not now, okay? In current situation this isn't important,' she straightened up and glanced at her partner who, from some time now, was looking weirdly at the girl who was sitting on the couch. 'Won't you say hello to your niece, Minako?'

Niece? Minako? China? They don't want to say her that The Fox is...

'Aunty?' the girl's eyes were probably looking like two big tea soucers. She hadn't seen this woman since the last visit with her mother's relatives, so from almost ten years. But now, looking this woman straight in the eyes, she couldn't take from her her similarity to the woman side of her family.

'Marinette? How big you are! On photos that Sabine sends me it is not so visible!'

'Wait,' the dairk-haired cut in, shaking her head in unbelievement. 'My mom is sending you photos? My photos?'

'Well, you know, now, in the era of devices of quick transfer it's not so complicated,' the woman shook her shoulders. 'I have lots of them. When you're sleeping, washing yourself, eat breakfast, fall down the stairs... Whatever you like.'

'Okay,' happy chatter between the heroes was stopped by Master Fu who came with a tray of tea. 'I didn't gather you here today just for some family-time or something. The final clash with Hawk Moth is coming and we need your help.'
