"It could be him," Ivy said nodding at the manor of the Agreste family. Marinette looked at Chat to see him sweating nervously.

"What's wrong Chat?" Marinette asked gently turning her head towards him. Then she put it together. "Oh I just realized Gabriel Agreste is your father, and we are going to go check your house..." Marinette looked down at the floor then opened her mouth to say something when she was interrupted by Ivy.

"You live here," Ivy said looking at Chat Noir, "Then you can help us get in." Chat Noir looked uncomfortable.

"Yeah sure... Follow me, " Adrien muttered jumping off of the building while holding Marinette gently. He used his pole to jump over the fence and landed in the front yard of his house. "I always keep a window open in my bedroom," Adrien said speaking directly to Marinette. He jumped in through the square shaped opening to his room and setted Marinette down, Ivy came in after them.

She looped her yo-yo around her waist, and turned to Chat Noir. "Any ideas as to where to start?" Ivy asked peering at the room's rich quality decor.

"Yeah, about a month ago I caught my father opening a secret safe behind a portrait of my mother. After further more investigation I found a special rare book about our miraculouses," Chat looked at Marinette then to Ivy.

"Well lets start there," Ivy said while opening the door of Adrien's room and stepping into the sparkling hallway. She marveled about how clean this place was for being so big.

"Follow me," Chat said morphing back into Adrien. He reached for Marinette's hand and interlocked fingers. Ivy rolled her eyes thinking this is not the time to be doing lovey-dovey actions, but then she remembered her precious time with Jarrett.

"Lead the way," Marinette and Ivy sang in unison. Adrien stepped out of the room quietly not wanting to signal alarm to his father or Natalie. They reached the end of the hallway where Adrien opened a door leading to a humble room. They all stepped inside, Marinette stood in awe at the elegance of the whole house. It seemed every room had a rich quality to it yet it felt really humble. Adrien walked towards the painting of his mother and felt the spaces in between the frame and the wall looking for the same grip hold he'd found that one day.

He found the grip hold and swung it open to reveal a little compartment. Ivy stepped forward to examine the contents that were inside, she gasped when she saw the long lost miraculous book and the peacock miraculous. "Why does your father have the peacock miraculous and the miraculous book," Ivy wondered turing to Adrien. Marinette stepped forward looking for her earrings, to see they weren't in there.

"Do you see your miraculous?" Adrien asked Marinette, she turned to him with a sad expression indicating she did not. He frowned, "Well if my father had the peacock miraculous he must have yours somewhere... This makes me wonder if he has a secret room and really is Hawkmoth."

Ivy turned to him and shook the peacock miraculous and the miraculous book, "Does this not look like enough evidence to you?" Marinette shot her a don't talk to him like that look. Adrien looked down at the floor, Marinette walked up to him a placed a kiss on his cheek.

That's when Marinette slipped and landed on a tender spot in the concrete floor. "What..." She whispered lifting up the rug to reveal a secret contraption to a secret room. Marinette reached her hand on top of it and pressed down a *click* sound echoed throughout the silenced room. Everyone held their breath, a small human sized hole appeared in the floor.

"Ladies first?" Adrien laughed at his joke before stepping inside the hole inside the ground. Marinette shared a look with Ivy before heading after her partner. Ivy looked around stepped inside the circle then using her left hand moved the rug back to hide them.
