: A Price To Pay
Summary:
How about one in which adrien betrays ladybug after discovering why hawkmoth wants the miraculous, then he makes the wish but nothing goes as he or his father want, his mother no longer loves his father and there is a new hawkmoth who hates I assaulted them (cough.. Cough.. Sabine after losing her husband because of desire) so he looks for Marinette to force her to help him since she is Ladybug and she can fix everything but she refuses and tells him that she hopes that Everything that he did to her and to Paris there is worth itAdrien never expected Hawkmoth to be his father. The thought of his father doing such things almost made him vomit. He thought that they cleared his father out of being Hawkmoth after he was akumatized. Clearly it was to throw them off.
“And why-“ Adrien gulped, nervous. The fact that he’s Chat Noir and his father is Hawkmoth changes everything. He did his best to gain confidence. “And why shouldn’t I tell L-Ladybug?” He was Adrien Agreste right now, not Chat Noir.
“I know you’re Chat Noir, son.” Gabriel stated, as Adrien’s eyes widened, his face losing its color. “I knew for quite a while, Adrien. You think I wouldn’t notice my son disappearing from his own room, when the cameras show that you didn’t leave? You think I wouldn’t notice you leaving your own window open to get back open?” Gabriel questioned.
Adrien’s mouth gaped, he wanted to ask a million questions. Why? How? I thought I was being careful. Do you know who ladybug is? Why are you doing this? If you know then why are you still attacking Paris? What’s the point? What’s your goal? What are you going to do to me? But he couldn’t ask a single one.
“You see…I’ve been doing all of this for your mother, Adrien. For our family to be whole again. It requires your miraculous and that pesky bug’s miraculous. You already have one and I know that you can get Ladybug’s. Adrien, don’t you want your mother back too?”
He did.
“I do.”
He just didn’t know that two words could ruin everything back then.
Marinette’s breath hitched, holding onto her bleeding ears, where the Ladybug Miraculous used to be. Her earrings. Which was now in the possession of Hawkmoth. He forcefully took them off. The ringing in her ear felt like it was going on forever.
Tears fell down her cheeks, staring at Chat Noir, who stood next to Hawkmoth. It didn’t take long to put two and two together. Actually she already put it together when they both started chasing and attacking her.
“Plagg, Claws In.”
Where Chat Noir once stood, he was replaced by Adrien Agreste. Marinette stared at him in horror. Her eyes widened even more when he handed the ring to Hawkmoth.
…
“No no no, Adrien!” Marinette screamed, looking as Adrien stood besides Hawkmoth, who had Plagg and Tikki. “Why!? How could you betray me!? Us!? Paris!? Is he forcing you!? We could’ve solved this, Adrien! You didn’t- you didn’t need to resort to this!” Her eyes blurred with tears.
“M’lady…Marinette.” Any other time, Marinette would’ve felt butterflies in her stomach, now- she felt sick. It was clear, Chat Noir- Adrien- the same person, he betrayed her, all of Paris. “You have to understand. It’s to bring my mother back! It’s just a wish—“
“Your mother is dead, Adrien—“ Marinette was kicked in the stomach by Hawkmoth. “Emilie Agreste is dead!” She cried out. “And it’s not just a wish! You don’t know the consequences! You won’t be able to bear them! It’s not as easy as you think!”
“Don’t you dare speak about my wife like that.” Hawkmoth sneered, and it finally clicked. Gabriel Agreste is Hawkmoth. Adrien was Chat Noir. “You’re quite stubborn, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I’ve wasted my time fighting teenagers. Don’t worry, Emilie, I’ll see you soon. You won’t remember a thing, Marinette. I know about your little childish crush on my son too. I’ll make sure you’re both together. This could’ve gone way smoother if you just handed me the Miraculous.”
