Love As In Partners

Chapter 16

Adrien was in a photoshoot when Marinette came in to visit. He smiled. "Great-A! That's what I'm talking about!" Said the photographer.

The break was up. "Princess! What brings you here?" He went to greet Mari with a kiss.

"Well I just wanted to see how you were doing! Besides, I wanted to make sure you pose atractive~"

He winked. Mari giggled. "I am. Cause I know you buy every magazine I'm in."

She laughed. "Yep. My whole room is full of you."

"I love you, Marinette." He kissed her again.

"Hey I was wondering, if we could go to a café after your photoshoot."

"I would have to ask my father... You see, I have a busy schedule."

"Oh well ask him. Text me what he said, okay?"

He nodded. They both kissed Goodbye. Adrien went back to photoshoots.
-----------------------------------------
After that, he went home. His father was waiting for him.

"Father! I was just looking for you."

"What is it, Adrien?"

"Well I was just wondering, if I could go with Marinette to a café... You know... On a date?"

His father didn't looked in the mood.

"Adrien, as much as it makes me happy for you having a girlfriend, I still don't want you to ruin your eating résumé. So the answer is no!"

"But father! It will be only a coffee and cake! I swear I won't!"

"You are my son and I chose what's good for you. Now go to your room!"

Adrien was mad. His father still wasn't the nicest guy. He ran to his room and locked himself up.

"What's wrong now, kiddo?"

"My father... I hate him controlling my life!"

He took his phone out and texted Mari.

A: Hey Princess

M: Minou! What's up!

A: I'm sorry, but my father said no.

M: Well, it will be next time. No need to worry.

A: I'm not sure if he will let me next time. You see... I have an eating résumé...

M: Aww kitty... That's bad. I'm sorry.

A: Don't worry... Its just that my father controls my life... And I hate that!

M: Look, I have to go. My parents are coming back and I need to clean up.

A: Okay. See you then.

Adrien laid down. "Adrien please... Don't worry."

"Plagg, you don't understand..."

He was furious. Since his mother disappeared... His father became less cheerful and smiled less. Everything just became dull.

"I want my mother back."

Hawk Moth then arrived. He felt Adrien's aura. "Dissatisfied by being told what to do, huh? Perfect for my little akuma."

He turned the akuma and sent it away. "Fly my little akuma!"

The akuma made its way to Adrien's room and landed on his ring. Plagg noticed.

"Adrien?"

"Chat Blanc, I am Hawk Moth. Its depressing being controlled all the time, so I'll give you the power to destroy anyone that is on your way, just to take all that anger on everyone. All I need in return are the miraculous!"

"A pleasure, Hawk Moth."

Adrien transformed into a white cat. Plagg tried to reason with him.

"Adrien! Snap out of it!!"

"Nonsense, Plagg! Its my turn to control Paris!"

He jumped out of the window and headed to the Eiffel Tower. Plagg didn't know what to do.

"Aah... I'll find Tikki!" Plagg flew to Marinette's house.

"Tikki!! Marinette!!"

"Huh? Plagg? What are you doing here?"

"Tikki! Adrien... He got akumatized!"

Mari heard. "He what?! Why?"

"Because his father... Always has control over his life."

"Tikki! We need to save Adrien!"

"Got it!"

"Tikki! Spots On!"

Marinette then turned to Ladybug. "Where he go?"

"To the Eiffel Tower!"

Ladybug made her way. That's when she spotted Chat. He was touching everyone on his way. Then they followed him.

"What is he doing?" Ladybug needed to think a plan. "I can't do this alone... I need help!" She then spotted Chloe. She was walking and Chat was approaching her. "No!"

Ladybug grabbed Chloe from the waist and moved her out of the way.

"Ladybug?!"

"Go home! There is another akumatized victim. Its too dangerous!" Chloe nodded and rushed home. Ladybug kept following Chat.

"Honey! I need help! Ladybug needs help!"

"Okay."

"Honey! Stripes On!"

Chloe then transformed into Queen Bee. "Let's now start the party, shall we?"
