"H-How long have you known...?" Cat Noir whispered, his father... Hawkmoth... Standing before him.

Hawkmoth stood blankly, looking at Cat Noir with such rage in his dark eyes.

"He asked you a question, ANSWER HIM!" Ladybug hissed.

"I didn't know bugs had claws. Why, I've known that my son was Cat Noir for around two months." Hawkmoth smirked, devilishly.

Cat Noir gasped, taken aback.

"You knew you were putting your own son's life in danger these ENTIRE TWO MONTHS?!" Cat Noir screamed hysterically.

Hawkmoth nodded, looking very content.

Cat Noir breathed rapidly, his heart pounding like a bullet. All the anger... Rage... Was about to be let go.

"CATACLYSM!" Cat Noir screamed. He ran at Hawkmoth and threw his hand at him. Hawkmoth dodged, leaving Cat Noir to trip and hit a painting of his mother.

"NO!" Hawkmoth screamed as the picture became ash and a dark passageway opened.

"Lucky charm!" Ladybug called. She recieved a large barrier. She pulled Cat Noir into the passageway and blocked it off. Hawkmoth pounded at it.

Ladybug and Cat Noir ran inside to stand in a shadowy room, filled with many white butterflies and an enormous window.

"The pre-akumas..." Ladybug whispered.

Cat Noir's ring beeped.

"I don't have much time left. And I don't see camembert anywhere for Plagg to recharge wi-"

Ladybug pulled out a cookie.

"Tikki and I are always ready." Ladybug smiled.

"You're the absolute best! Plagg, claws away." Adrien said and fed Plagg half of the cookie.

"Tikki, spots off." Marinette said, feeding her kwami the other half.

"Hurry, we have to go!" Cat Noir urged impatiently as the kwamis nibbled.

"Calm down! We are!" Plagg complained.

Adrien sighed and sat down where he was, burying his face in his hands.

"Adrien... You couldn't have known... You are welcome to live with us for as long as you need." Marinette whispered softly, hugging him in her arms.

Adrien sniffed.

"I've never seen you cry..." Marinette murmured, troubled that the tough cat is broken.

"I... I n-never thought my father..." 

"Sh... There's nothing we can do..." Marinette sighed.

"We're done, Marinette." Tikki said.

"Are you ready to de-evilize... Once and for all?" Marinette smiled, taking Adrien's hand.

Adrien nodded and they transformed.

-transfooooorm-

Cat Noir then rammed his head into the glass window, shattering it as Ladybug chased the butterflies out the window.

Ladybug looked at him, surprised.

"I need to save the chance to use my Cataclysm, besides, cats have thick skulls." Cat Noir purred.

The butterflies got the message and swarmed out. Ladybug and Cat Noir followed, squeezing through.

"Bye-bye, Little Butterfly!" Cat Noir mimicked Ladybug.

Ladybug chuckled lightly.

"MY AKUMAS! NO!" The duo heard a scream from below.

"We need help." Ladybug murmured, nervously.

Cat Noir got the message and dialed up Rena Rouge on his pole.

Alya answered quickly.

"What's wrong?" 

"We'll explain when you get here, meet us at my house." Cat Noir ordered.

Alya nodded and hung up.

"Any plans?" Cat Noir asked his Lady.

"I think I've got something... But it'll be dangerous." Ladybug murmured.

"But, danger is my middle name, Bugaboo." Cat Noir purred.

"Stray Cat!" Ladybug laughed.

Rean Rouge arrived, her eyes darting to Hawkmoth.

"Is that-?!"

"Yup. Gabriel Agreste. Same dude. Crazy, huh. I didn't believe it either. This is his secret hideout, we released the butterflies and he's down there, wailing like a baby. M'Lady has a plan." Cat Noir explained.

"Yep, and it's dangerous." Ladybug warned.

"Pff, we can handle it. We are a MIRACULOUS trio y'know!"
