Who We Never Thought We'd Be... (Miraculous Fanfiction)

Rescue Mission

Adrian looked up as he heard a creaking, and gasped as an unfamiliar costumed figure crawled in through the window. An akumatized victim?

"Shh..." She placed a finger to her lips. "I'm here to help, Chat Noir."

Adrian saw her pull out a mace and then gasped as she smashed it down on the chains holding him to the wall. "Thanks." He answered as he got up and stretched his tired limbs.

"Now get down there, Ladybug needs you!" She opened her hand and Plagg flew out of it and over to Adrian.

Adrian gave a smile, then nodded. "Alright. Plagg, claws out!"
The familiar rush of energy washed through him, giving him the energy boost he needed. Being Chat Noir again felt so good...

He turned to face his rescuer, but she'd vanished like the mist. And she was right, Ladybug needed his help.

Ladybug jumped back, dodging Hawkmoth's swing with his cane. Her yoyo twirled in front of her, bathing the room in a red light. "You've hurt enough people, Hawkmoth!" She replied. "I won't let you akumatize any more innocent civilians!"

"Once I have your miraculous... I won't have to!"

Ladybug yelped as akumas fluttered in her face, blocking her view and concentration.
She fell backwards as the cane flipped under her feet, knocking her off balance, but managed to catch herself.

But he was right. She needed help.

"Excuse me..."

And here he was.
Chat Noir flipped down beside her, twirling his staff a few times while glaring harshly. "Why don't you pick on someone in your own bloodline...!?"

"How did you get your kwami back? No matter...give me your miraculouses and we can avoid this entire thing...!"

"Not gonna happen...!"

Hawkmoth's cane and Chat's staff made contact in a loud cracking noise, and Ladybug struggled to de-evilize as many akumas as she could.

Father and son, fighting like sworn enemies... It was so sad to see.

Ladybug gasped as Hawkmoth came at her, but Chat blocked his attack, giving a painful yelp as the cane hit his side and a loud snap was heard, and he collapsed in pain onto the floor. "Chat Noir!"

"I am doing this for you, Adrian...!" Hawkmoth hissed. "Once I have the power, I can bring her back! We can be a family again!"

Chat, or Adrian, looked up weakly, but angrily. "I don't care...! No wonder mom left you...you're crazy!"

Hawkmoth paused, then resumed his attempts to remove their miraculouses.

Then something wrapped his wrist and yanked him back. "What!?"

Ladybug and Chat looked as two more heroes appeared out of the shadows, one bearing a mace, the other, a whip that was wrapped around Hawkmoth's arm.

"You sssseem very ssssurprised to sssssee usss...!" The whip-bearer hissed, stepping into the light to expose a snake-related appearance. He looked to be in his late teens, and his female partner, dressed in a skunk persona, was about the same age.

His partner twirled her mace. "Four against one, Hawkmoth. You really wanna keep fighting such odds?"

"I had not anticipated two more heroes... But no matter!" He attempted to pull the boy forward, but the boy had planted his feet, and the whip only slipped off and returned to it's master's use.

Hawkmoth swept at the girl, but she back flipped twice before landing out of his reach.
These two were professionals.

Ladybug took the temporary distraction to check on her own partner, who was still on the floor. "Chat Noir...!?"

"M-My lady...!" Chat whimpered, grimacing as he held his side. "D-Don't worry about me... Help them...!"

The boy blocked another swing by Hawkmoth. "I think it'ssss time to end thissss, Moufette." He said.

The girl nodded, then lifted her mace. "Scent Screen!" Then she slammed her mace down, and smoke washed through the room, blocking Ladybug's view of the fight.

She remained by Chat Noir, trying not to breathe in the foul smelling smoke. Chat extended his staff and swung it through the smoke, and she heard Hawkmoth give an angry shout then a thud before the smoke cleared and they saw the boy wrapped around Hawkmoth like a boa constrictor.

Though Hawkmoth struggled, the boy had no difficulty removing his miraculous, and he reverted back to Gabriel Agreste. "Got it...!"

Ladybug gave a sigh of relief, laying her head down next to Chat's and gently wrapping an arm around his neck. It was finally over...

"Well done, children..."

All eyes fell on the woman stepping through the window, dressed in what could only be the uniform of the peacock miraculous holder. She stepped over to Mr. Agreste, hands on her hips. "My...how things have changed, Gabriel Agreste..."

"You...!"

"Moufette, Hood, good work... And good work to you two as well, Ladybug. Chat Noir..."

"Yeah, thanks for knocking him over, kitty cat!" Hood cheered.

Ladybug giggled, then gasped as she felt Chat go limp in her arms and his transformation ran out. "Chat? A-Adrian, don't go out on me!"

"He'll be alright with some rest." Plagg replied as he spun around her head. "He's had a hard few days..."

"We all have." Tikki replied as Marinette returned to her civilian form.

Suddenly Hawkmoth's miraculous opened, and a little purple kwami emerged from it. He looked exhausted, but gave a smile to them. "Hi...I'm-"

"Nooroo!" Plagg tackled the butterfly kwami in a tight hug. "Dude, it's been forever!"

"Give the poor guy some space, Plagg!" Tikki complained. "He's had a rough few years!"

"Marissa...!" Gabriel hissed. "How could you do this to me...!?"

Marinette gasped. Adrian's mother!?

Hood unwrapped himself from around Mr. Agreste and Mrs. Agreste took over cuffing her husband. "Looks like we should skedaddle, huh?"

"Yeah, we need to get back before Leonardo misses us." Moufette replied, then looked to the woman. "You know where to find us, ma'am."

Marinette watched them leave through the window, then gave a sigh. "I could use a week long vacation...!"

"Not quite yet, Ladybug..." Mrs. Agreste replied. "We both have some work to do yet..."
