"F-Felix?" Ladybug mumbled "I-is it you?" She asked

"I-I can explain!" He stuttered as several tears streamed down his wet cheeks.

Chat Noir, who was behind both of them frowned as a pair of tears appeared in his eyes.
"All this time, it was you..." Adrien muttered. "All the times you were cold to me, all the times you ignored me, ALL THE TIMES YOU SAID YOU HAD NO ONE TO LOVE... You lied. YOU LIED... YOU LIED TO YOUR OWN BROTHER" he yelled as Felix's eyes widened. "You tried taking away from me the only person I actually cared of..."He mumbled

"Adrien, you don't understand!" Felix exclaimed standing up slowly. His eyes remained closed as he held his baton tight.

"YES I DO!" Adrien shouted gritting his teeth.

"NO YOU DON'T!" He yelled back at him

That's when the battle between them started, again. They both kept fighting until they were both out of breath.

"Why d-did you do t-this to me..?" Adrien asked as tears streamed down his cheeks. "What did I ever do to you?!" He yelled

"Nothing..." Felix said

"What..?"

"NOTHING! You never did anything to me! You were always there, helping me out!" Felix exclaimed as Adrien's eyes widened. "I never meant it to be this way, I NEVER DID!"

Adrien dropped his baton "Then why were you always like this to me? Why'd you always kick me out, why would you never talk to me?!"

"BECAUSE I WAS HURT, ADRIEN!" Felix yelled at him. "ALL, ALL I EVER WANTED WAS BE HERE AT HOME , YOU KNOW? I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE TO LONDON IN THE FIRST PLACE! I NEVER MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS, BUT THIS IS THE WAY IT WENT! SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE , BUT LIFE ISN'T EASY!" Felix yelled at him as his vision got a little blurry for the tears. "I LOST EVERYTHING I EVER CARED FOR, ALL I EVER WANTED!" He continued, his voice trembling.

"F-Felix I swear I didn't-" Adrien began as Felix cut his off.

"BUT YOU DID. YOU DID. WANT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHILE YOU WERE HERE, AT HOME, APPEARING IN EVERY SINGLE POSTER OF PARIS?! I DEFEATED A VILLAIN. A VERY DANGEROUS VILLAIN. BUT AT WHAT COST?! MY PARTNER DIED THERE, ADRIEN! SHE DIED!" Felix shouted making him burst into tears until no more tears came out. "ALL MY FRIENDS DISAPPEARED, LIKE NOTHING. YOU HAD YOUR LIFE ALREADY DONE HERE, YOU HAD TONS OF ADMIRERS , A BIG GROUP OF FRIENDS AND A LIVING PARTNER!" He yelled as a black butterfly flew towards Felix.

"Felix watch out!" Marinette and Adrien exclaimed as Felix growled.

"NOT NOW!" He exclaimed "Cataclysm!" He said and touched the butterfly, transforming it into a pile of dust.

"S-She died Adrien. She died in my hands. I will never see her ever again. She meant the world to me... Do you know what I would do to hear her laughter once again? I would do the impossible just to be with her, just for a minute..." Felix mumbled as a few tears rolled down his cheek.

"F-Felix I didn't know..." Adrien began as a black and green mix of lights appeared around Felix, making his suit disappear.

"There's lots of things you don't know, Adrien. In fact, I'm like a complete stranger to you... I'll wait for you at home, and I promise that there you will get some answers." Felix said and walked towards the Agreste mansion. Suddenly, a black cat kwami got out from Felix's pocket and flew towards Adrien.

"Have good care of your brother kid, he has been throw a lot." The kwami said and flew back towards his holder.

And like that, the Agrestes left the park, and headed towards the mansion, leaving the poor Ladybug more confused than ever.

"Ah, so from where do I start?" Felix said sitting in the patio of the mansion.

"From the beginning, if not, I would get lost." Plagg said, sitting next to Pest. While Plagg ate the smelly Camembert, Pest had his own portion of Roquefort.

"Ignore him..." Adrien said as Felix chucked.

"No sweat. Pest can be a real plague on me." Felix said as Adrien smiled widely.

"YOU LIKE PUNS?!"

"Yeah, yeah. Family reunion and everything..." Pest began but got interrupted by Plagg.

"But could you just jump into the story?" Plagg begged making the twins chuckle.

"Well, as you know, I moved to London to 'expand Mr Fashion's clothing line to other countries.' " He said rolling his eyes.

"Excuse me but who is exactly Mr Fashion?" Plagg and Pest asked

"Our father..." Adrien replied.

"As I was saying, I lived in London for a couple of years, and everything was normal. The same schedule for all the days: Wake up, Eat, School, Photoshoot, Modeling, Sleep. The same routine repeated until I met a little lazy cat named Pest." He said making the kwami look offended.

"Don't fill these child's mind with lies! I'm charming!" Pest exclaimed making Felix laugh.

"Yeah sure, charming." He said and decided to continue. "I met Bridgette at school. She was always with a smile planted on her face, always giving the best of her and try doing the impossible to help others." He said with a sigh. "She was always there for me, like for our friends."

"Your friends?" Adrien asked a little curious

"We were a crew. Always looking for each other's back. If someone had a problem, the problem was from all of us. Who would've thought that the five of us would've got a miraculous as well. We didn't know each other's identities, of course. But when I received my miraculous, I was given a chore. Protect the people from evil. When I didn't save Bridgette from evil, I failed my task. So I gave up on my miraculous. And promised never to wear it again, until now..." He said "But before dying, she gave me this..." Felix said opening his hand two show a little object.

"Okay, so let me get this straight. My crush has a crush on me or on Ladybug because he is Chat Noir, but there is not just one Chat Noir but two. The second Chat Noir if from London and is the twin of my crush." Marinette said breathing heavily.

"Yup. That was basically all of it." Tikki said nibbling her cookie.

"I FEEL LIKE MY MIND IS GOING TO EXPLODE!"

Okay guys I made a really huge chapter 'cause the next one is going to be pretty short. So before I'm killed by any fan, I have a riddle for you! Felix said Bridgette gave him something... What was this object?
