News Alert: The man behind Paris' attacks, Hawkmoth, has just been identified as non other than Gabriel Agreste; famous fashion designer. He was reported by Chat Noir on Monday night, and also called in an ambulance for Ladybug, the heroine of Paris. When Police arrived, the secretary lead them to the room, where Chat Noir and Ladybug were found, un-masked, across from Gabriel Agreste. We can now fully answer the question of "Who are the superheroes of Paris?" The crime fighting duo is non other than Adrien Agreste, son of Gabriel Agreste, and Marinette Dupain-Cheng, daughter of the owners of Boulangerie Patisserie. When paramedics arrived on the scene, Miss Dupain-Cheng was found with multiple assault and battery wounds all over her body. She was in the arms of Adrien Agreste, who seemed to have not been afflicted by any wounds. Gabriel Agreste was looked over, and showed signs of bruising. The whole story has not been spoken of at this time, but we will return once we have more details on this still unraveling story.

The anchorwoman stopped the recording, and walked back to the truck as the cameraman took some last shots of the two exiting the manor.

Paramedics had Marinette strapped to a gurney, and were bringing her into an ambulance.

Adrien tried climbing inside, but they stopped him.

"I'm sorry but you can't ride in the back. Police can drive you to the hospital." They told him. Adrien shot him a look, and the paramedic did not question him further. Adrien climbed into the back of the ambulance, and it roared off, it's sirens squealing away.

Adrien rode in the back, and he held onto Marinette's hand. An EMT put a breathing mask over her mouth, and pumped oxygen into her system. 

"Her pulse is stable, although her breathing is fluctuating. She may have some broken ribs, or have punctured a lung. Internal bleeding is evident." He reported out loud. Adrien's grip only strengthened onto Marinette's frail hand.

The ambulance soon docked into the hospital, and she was being rolled inside.

Adrien tried to follow, but a nurse stopped him.

"Please, sir. We can't have anyone distract them right now. They need to work on her, and see what is wrong." She explained. Adrien didn't even realize he was crying.

"You don't understand. That's my lady." He told her.

"I'm sorry. As soon as her breathing is stable, we will let you see her. We can set up a private room for you so a crowd doesn't form." She told him. You could tell she was trying to be soft on him. He was young.

She set up an empty room in the nurses lounge, and got him some coffee. He drank it, and waited. He hadn't even realized he was still wearing his blue tuxedo. All nice and pristine, protected by the suit.

Adrien waited for half an hour before a nurse came in to fetch him. He soon realized why she was in a rush. Outside the lounge doors, was a crowd of reporters, all flashing cameras at him.

The nurse dragged him away, and they got to Marinette's room.

He walked in, and saw her now in a hospital gown. Her dress had been cut off, and the blankets were pulled up to her chest.

The noise from outside was now muffled by the closed doors. A doctor was also in the room.

"Adrien Agreste. I have some good news and bad news." He told him.

"Bad news. She sustained a couple of broken ribs, a punctured lung, and internal bruising. Also it seems that her past hip injuries have flared up, so she will be in pain from that again. Good news. She will make a full recovery. It will be slow and painful, but a recovery non-the-less. We called her parents, and they should be here soon. Who is your guardian other than Mr. Agreste?" He asked.
