Ira's POV
"..We have to settle this, now!"
Adrien:"I agree, even if we're probably wrong, there's still a good chance that we're brothers."
Me:"yeah..but..."
Adrien:"what is it?"
Me:"...I don't think we can ask Gabriel about it..."
Adrien:"why?"
Me:"...I don't know...there's just something about him that doesn't seem right..."
Adrien:"well then, who do we ask?"
Me:"...I think you know who..."
Adrien:"I was afraid you were gonna say that."
Me:"well, if you recognize her, then we'll know it's true and get answers..it's our best option."
Adrien:"but I don't have her phone number."
Me:"I do! She has to speak to me when I'm not home or with her somehow."
Adrien:"oh..right."
I get on my phone, and press the contact that said "mom" on it. I held the phone up to my ear so that I could hear her when she picked up..if she picked up that is.
Me:"c'mon, pick up, pick up."
I whispered loud enough for Adrien to hear, then, she picked up the phone,
Mom:"hello?"
Me:"hi, mom."
Mom:"oh, sweetie! You're ok! Where are you? Are you hurt? Are you coming home soon? Do you have a place to stay, wherever you are?"
Me:"I'm fine, mom. I'm in Paris."
Mom:"...P-Paris?...honey, what're you doing in Paris?"
Me:"um, I accidentally teleported without thinking, and ended up here by mistake, and for some reason, I can't leave."
Mom:"what?!?! What do you mean by that?!"
Me:"I mean, my powers won't work when I try to leave the city, they only work inside the city."
Mom:"UGH!!! THE WORK OF YOUR FATHER!!!"
Me:"what do you mean by that?"
Mom:"um...nothing. Hold on, I'll come right over."
Me:"ok."
After I hung up the phone, a woman teleported in, she looked like a human, but she's actually a mercenare, she just transforms into a human most of the time so that she can walk around earth and watch my fights to make sure I don't get hurt.

(Yeah, I figured that since nobody has seen Emilie for a couple years, she could look a little different.)
Me:"hi, mom."
Mom:"oh, sweetie, I was so worried after you disappeared! I'm so glad you're ok!"
My mom said, hugging me, after she hugged me, she saw Adrien, who had been behind me. She lightly gasped and put her hand over her mouth,
Mom:"...Adrien..."
Adrien:"...so I do have a brother...all those times you said you were going on a work trip..you were actually leaving to take care of Ira...along with the last time I saw you...you said you were going on a work trip when really, you had just divorced dad, and went to live with Ira and his guardians...and now you're a drunk."
Mom:"Adrien, I know that it was hard for you. But, Ira barely had a mom. Besides, your father and I weren't happy with each other anymore, I couldn't keep living with him always telling me how to live. I wanted to take you with me but, he wouldn't let me."
Adrien:"and what about Ira?! Did dad even care about him?!"
Mom:"Gabriel doesn't know who Ira is!"
Adrien:"..."
Me:"..."
'There it is...it's about time he knew.'
Adrien:"...what do you mean by that?"
Me:"she means, dad never met me...he's never seen me in person."
Adrien:"...but...but how could that be possible?...w-we're the same age...we would've been born on the same day..."
Mom:"Gabriel was "too busy" to meet you two the day you were both born...once I figured out that Ira had taken my side of the family, I had to send him away, where he would be safe from humanity."
Adrien:"b-but, you could've sent me with him..."
Mom:"but then, Gabriel would be suspicious. Besides, you need to protect Paris, I've known that since you were born."
Me:"...you're lying...aren't you?"
Adrien:"huh?!"
Mom:"!!!"
Me:"that's what I thought...now tell me...what really happened?"
Mom:"...ok...I'll tell you both the truth...but I can't tell you everything..."
Me:"tell us."
Adrien stood beside me now, we both waited for her to answer.
Mom:"...we were a real family until Gabriel found out Ira and I were mercenare's...then he started shutting us all out...in the end, I had to erase all of your memories of each other...along with Gabriel's memories of Ira...but even so...he still treated me differently then he used to...and eventually, I had to leave him...but he wouldn't let me take you with me, Adrien...no matter how badly I wanted to bring you."
Me and Adrien:"..."
Me:"...you can't give us our memories back, can you?...our memories need to return to us instead..."
Mom:"that's right."
Adrien:"so...what do we do about this whole mess?"
Mom:"...Adrien, pack up your things, you're coming home with me and Ira...you can still go to school here and fight Akumas...you just won't live here anymore..."
Adrien:"what? How would we pull that off?"
Me:"I can teleport us to here and back, we can both go to school here and you can fight Akumas."
Adrien:"b-but...what about dad?..."
Me:"Adrien...he doesn't even care about his family...we can't keep giving him the idea that treating his family like this is okay...as much as I hate to say it...we have to leave him to his job and his wealth...it seems that he loves his job more then his own kids...even if he doesn't remember one of them..."
Adrien:"..."
Adrien:"....alright, I'll pack my things."
Me:"I'll help you."
Adrien smiled at me and we walked to his room. We packed up his things, and our mom teleported us all back to the hideout. I showed Adrien around, and finally, I showed him an extra bedroom that he could use until we got him a real bed in my room.
Me:"and, here we are! I know it's not as fancy as your old palace-sized room, but I hope it's good enough."
Adrien:"are you kidding? This is perfect!"
Me:"umm...really?"
Adrien:"yeah! I don't mind staying in here for the time being!"
Me:"oh, alright. Well, it's getting late, we should probably go to bed or either mom or Marmo will nag at us."
Adrien:"yeah, goodnight!"
Me:"...goodnight..."
Adrien:"..."
I was about to walk out of his room when Adrien asked me one last question.

Adrien's POV
"Um...Ira...are you ok? You seem a little uneasy..."
Ira:"huh? What're you talking about, Adrien? I'm just a little tired, that's all."
Me:"are you sure?"
Ira:"yeah, I just need to get some sleep, you should too, superheroes need rest too."
Ira said, smiling, the look in his eyes made it plain to see that he really was ok. Seeing that, I calmed down and smiled back,
Me:"yeah..I know.."
Ira:"well, see you in the morning."
Ira said, yawning, I yawned too and said,
Me:"see ya."
Ira closed the bedroom door, and I drifted off into sleep.
