A Series of Events

As instructed by Master Fu, everyone woke up early for breakfast. Alex and Tony talked to the group, and told them what was going to happen to Intulo.

"Alex and I are going to lead this interrogation, but we need two more help, and the other two are going to welcome back the last miraculous holder." Tony told them.

"We have finally received contact with the holder of the peacock miraculous, and he wishes to join us. He hid so well, that he forgot that there were wars outside of civilian form. I need two of you to fly to France to receive him, and then escort him here. Show him to a room, and start filling him in on the loop. Just note that he is very shy. You four all know him, I believe. He'll be wearing a peacock barrette in his hair." Alex explained.

"Oh! Nino and I can bring him here. We understand what it feels like to be knew, so we can help him out. How long was he a miraculous holder?" Alya asked.

"About half a year. We only needed him for a short time, and he never appeared publicly. But as soon as he finished, we tried to recruit him again. I guess we scared him off, because he went into hiding ever since."

"I guess that leaves us to deal with Intulo." Adrien guessed. He and Marinette seemed to be stuck with the maniac.

Master Fu seemed to agree with the splitting of work. "You and Adrien need to figure out your own interrogation technique. You can cause him pain to an extent. Nothing fatal or that will need sewing or casts. You can also use psychological warfare on him. Alex and Tony are going to stick strictly to asking him questions and giving him lie detector tests." Master Fu told them. "Go nuts on your behalf."

Marinette already had many ideas of how to get answers out of him. And only a couple were violent.

Breakfast was dismissed, and they headed to their rooms to get changed for the day. Adrien was already dressed, so he joined Marinette and talked about possible plans.

"I could beat the answers out of him." Adrien thought aloud.

"Or we can use mental warfare." She added.

Tikki popped out of the closet. "Why not both?"

"Why were you in the closet?" Plagg poked his head out of the pocket. Adrien squished his head back in.

"Enough. Tikki, I think that is a great idea. I'll beat him while asking questions, and Marinette can mess him up mentally." Adrien concluded. Marinette was halfway dressed.

"Well then I guess this won't do." She took everything back off, and dressed into another outfit. She dressed in a long sleeve crop top that was red with black polka dots, and black high-waisted shorts. She flicked on some quick eyeliner and some dark red lipstick.

"Ta-da!" Marinette presented herself. Adrien clapped.

"You look cute. But why did you dress like that to interrogate someone?" He asked.

"You'll see why soon. For now, let's get the room, and wait for Alex and Tony to finish up. Then you go in and ruff him up. Bust a lip. Then if he doesn't talk, I'll record my session." Marinette dragged him out of the room, and the two waited at the door. Alex and Tony walked out with their equipment, and let Adrien enter.

It was obvious that Adrien was letting out some of his anger on Intulo. Although Marinette silently clapped for Intulo since he hadn't muttered a cry the entire time. For about an hour, Adrien asked questions and beat him. When he was done, Adrien emerged, and he had a little smear of blood on his cheek. Thankfully for Marinette, she had just enough time to retrieve a first aid kit. As soon as Adrien left, she walked in with the kit.
