Corruption [why me: part 2]

chapter 23: investigation: part 2

Nino's pov

Alya closed her eyes and listened closely. I doubt she would find anything even with her super senses. I was there and I didn't even sense anything other than Waring akumas. But I'll let her go so I could just look at her a little longer.

Hawkmoth. He loved Marinette. So that can be Chloe, Maris dad, Nate, and the next one who came to my mind was impossible. He was banished from this living realm. Banished into a plane that exists just for him. His own type of hell.

Felix. Adriens older brother, who was giving up to adoption by Mr. And Mrs. Agreste. In their last life, Felix stole the cat kwami. Also stealing the love of Adriens Life, Marinette.

"Wait." I said I heard a whisper. " rewind."

'Hello again. Brother.'

All my suspicions were true. "Felix" Alya and I said in unison.

Without hesitation, I called Croix. It kept ringing and ringing. When he finally answered it wasn't him at all. It was HIM. "Hello Nino. Long time, no see. Why's that? Oh yeah because you all threw me into hell." He hissed the last word.

"What have you done with them?" I motioned Alya to call the rest of the miraculous holders. All I had to do was keep him on the line, busy, until they all arrived.

"Oh I haven't hurt my love, but as for Adrien? Well that's a different story." He laughed cynically. I glanced at Alya, with a look that I've never given. I'm never afraid, that's something having to battle akumatized citizens everyday will do. But now? I was afraid for the life of my best friends life.

"You have 1 hour before he is dead." Felix whispered into the phone and hung up.
