A Thief or a Hero? [Adrienette AU] (ON HOLD)

chapter two

When Adrien returned to the hideout, it was quiet, except for a few mutters of men in a group. Adrien raised a brow. Usually this place is filled with nothing but nonsense noises. Something was definitely off.

When he walked into a room with a long table and men sitting all around it, they immediately stopped their conversations, looked at Adrien, then looked down.

Adrien walked to the seat at the very end, eyeing every single one of the fifteen men in the same room.

"Would one of you mind telling me why you're all acting different?" He asked, his voice echoing. He waited for five seconds before slamming his fist on the table. "ANSWER ME!" He yelled. Everyone flinched at his outburst.

One man stood up hesitantly, Adrien immediately recognizing him as the same exact man he gave the miraculous' to. Adrien stared at him with anger. "And what do you have to say?"

The man was hesitant. "I-I'm sorry, Adrien... I-I was only two minutes away from the hideout before a policeman took the miraculous' away."

"They WHAT?!" Adrien was beyond angry. "And you didn't bother to stop him!?"

"I-I took a blow to my head and when I got up he was already gone..."

Adrien tried not to get more pissed off than he already was. He took a deep breath. "You know the consequences." Adrien snapped his fingers and a tall, buff man walked behind him. "Take this man to get twenty whips on his back and five on each of his knuckles."

"No- Please!" The man begged. Adrien ignored him along with his screaming and constant pleading.

When he was finally taken out, he looked at the others. "Anything else anyone would like to tell me?"

Nobody moved nor did they speak. "Very well. Tonight the mayor is throwing a Galla where the miraculous' will be presented. Luckily, I have a friend who I may convince to let me and a few men in. I'll give you updates later. Now everyone leave."

Everyone nodded before quickly getting up out of their seats, and leaving the room. Adrien ran his hands through messy blonde hair.

He was about to leave the room when a thud came from behind him. He groaned, and turned around to see a young girl with large light purple and indigo blue pigtails. She had a blue dress on and a purple umbrella. Her umbrella was open and the stick rested upon her shoulder.

"You know it's bad luck to open an umbrella indoors."

The girl laughed. "Well that must be false since I've had good luck finding you," the girl said with sly grin. "Stormy Weather's my name."

"Adrien."

"No need to tell me your name. I already know it. I mean who doesn't?" Stormy Weather scoffed.

"What do you want? I have somewhere to be."

"I waaaant, the miraculius'."

Adrien laughed. "Ah, that's funny."

"I'm serious." Stormy said with no facial expressions what so ever.

"Heh, well, you see I can't do that. I have plans of my own for them. Ya know the usual ransom, get rich. Ya know, 'me' stuff."

"What the hell is a ransom gonna get you? A couple bucks worth three packs of gum? No, I'm offering you a deal."

"What's this said deal?"

"Steal the miraculous for yourself, you'd be rich enough to lounge on the biggest beach in Paris. Steal the miraculous for me, and you could buy the beach, and a mansion, and the whole city of Paris!" She said, putting emphasis on 'Paris.'

Adrien raised a brow, kinda sketchy on whether or not he should accept Stormy's offer.

"Fine. You got a deal. If you keep your word."

"Adrien, I never break a promise. Once I say the words, it could never be broken."

Adrien grinned smugly. "Alright, your on."

"I knew you'd see it my way. Now when you get the miraculous'," Stormy shot a single lighting bolt into the sky, illuminating an image. "I want you to go to that abandoned building. There, you will hand then over to me. Got it?"

"Its a date."

"Perfect." (I almost made a cat pun wow) "I'll see ya then," Stormy said before winking and disappearing.

Adrien exhaled. He remembered of his current task at hand and went to get ready.

Meanwhile, Stormy was still watching Adrien from a nearby rooftop.

Hawkmoth watched the whole thing while it had happened, smiling as he did. "He's so bad, and so gullible. Stormy, well done."

As he said that, the neon purple mask illuminated around Stormy's eyes as she gave off a smug smirk
