A Sudden Return 3/3✅

Miraculous Ladybug: 1

"It seems like Gabriel was not going to stay in jail forever. Someone got him out, along with Matthew. You better be careful these days. They could get you. But don't worry, I know one day this will all stop."

"I guess we really did need the miraculous again," Marinette said, looking back at the others. She dropped her half eaten cookie back on the tray, shuddering.

Hawk Moth is not going to give up, she thought to herself. It was probably what the others were thinking as well. Adrien was right when he said it wasn't over with Hawk Moth. But who let them out?

"Lucas!" Adrien then spoke out of nowhere. She was glaring at the floor. "Lucas broke them out."

"How do you know?" Nino asked.

"Doesn't it all make sense?" Adrien snapped. "Lucas set them free, that's why he probably didn't come to school for those weeks. He was probably trying to make it look like he was missing. It all clicks."

"But why?" Marinette looked at him with questioning eyes. "He's changed."

"He was probably pretending to have changed," Adrien interrupted as he stood up. He patted Marinette on the shoulder. "It's okay if you don't get it, but this is what I think, and this is probably what is true. We better head to the police station to get more facts and clues."

The others nodded as they followed him out. Adrien led them to the police station, and they walked up to Roger Cop.

"How did they escape?" Alya asked.

"I don't know," Roger Cop answered. "We came back to check on him, but then we found the bars wide opened. The keys were just right in front of the bars, so we knew someone had set them free."

"Lucas!" Adrien groaned. "I just know it was him."

"Don't be so sure," Marinette told him as they walked out. "Let's ask him."

"And have him lie to us? No thank you," Adrien folded his arms. "We need to lock him up as soon as possible. That kid is dangerous!"

"Adrien, calm down, were going to work this out slowly," Alya said. "We have to be smart at this. If we go ahead and lock him up, what if we're wrong. He's going to hate us."

"Why do we care if he hates us or not?" Adrien asked. "I'm telling you, it's him, but fine. We'll ask him and see what he says."

"Let's go see what Master Fu has to say to this," Marinette suggested. "Alya, Nino, you guys go find and talk to Lucas. Me and Adrien will go talk to Master Fu."

They nodded and went their separate ways. Adrien and Marinette started running to Master Fu's lair.

Once they got there, they sat down, eating for him to say something.

He was quiet for a few seconds before he spoke. "I know about the news, and I am quite not happy with it.

"I found out that Hawk Moth and Matthew escaped and found a new place to do their evil deeds. Don't worry, I will protect the moth miraculous with all of my strength, and the other miraculous as well.

"But we still don't know where the peacock miraculous is, and now that Hawk Moth is back, it will be quite difficult. Do you guys have any plans?"

"We will be looking for the peacock miraculous, don't worry," Marinette nodded. "As for the villains' new place, we will also look for it."

"Do you guys have any idea who could have done this?" Master Fu asked, as he sat down.

Marinette and Adrien looked at each other, then back at Master Fu, replying with a "yes."

"Who?"

"Lucas."

Master Fu froze. "You mean that boy that was Vex?" Is it that's he's still evil or what? I thought he changed. No?

"Alright, I'll try to find out things about this new place the villains decided to move into. You guys focus on finding who sent them freeze and where the peacock miraculous is."

They both nodded. Standing up from their seats, they walked out, leaving Master Fu with his thoughts.

Lucas...
