I'm Sorry Chaton

Chapter 5 (Part 2)

Meanwhile, Chat Noir was just waking up on the other side of the city. His eyes slowly opened as the light began to creep into the alley he had taken shelter in. He sat up and rubbed his sore neck. Sleeping on the ground wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but he had no choice. He had tried renting an apartment or even getting a hotel room, but doing so as Chat Noir attracted too much attention and he was afraid his father might try to find him. So, he was spending his nights camped out in various allies around Paris. The one thing he missed was Plagg. He spent most of his time as Chat Noir because Adrien was supposed to be dead, but that meant that he couldn't talk to Plagg as often as he used to.

"Plagg, claws in!"

He detransformed and was greeted by his kwami.

"Adrien. Cheese. Now."

"Okay, okay Plagg. I've got some Camembert right here."

Adrien held out the smelly cheese which Plagg quickly consumed.

"So, kid. What are you going to do? We can't sleep on the streets forever."

Adrien sighed. "I know Plagg, but I won't be able to do anything as Adrien as long as my father is around. I don't know how he could do something so evil. I knew my father wasn't a very good man, but I didn't know he was this heartless and cruel." Suddenly Adrien realized something. He needed to confront Hawkmoth and take him down.

Plagg looked at Adrien's face. "Oh no. That's your "I have a bad idea" face. Whatever you're thinking, don't do it, Adrien."

"Plagg, I have to get rid of Hawkmoth. It's the only way to get my life back."

"But he's your father."

Adrien avoided eye contact with the kwami. "That man is not my father."

Plagg knew there was no point in arguing, so he just asked one simple question. "Adrien, are you sure you want to do this?"

6 Weeks Ago- Chat's POV

"Adrien, are you sure you want to do this?" Rena looked straight at me. We were standing on top of the Eiffel Tower planning my fake death. After the next Akuma attack, Rena would project an illusion of me falling off of the tower. She would keep up the illusion long enough to convince everyone nearby that I had really, truly died.

"I have to Rena. It's the only way."

Rena sighed and muttered under her breath. "Marinette's going to be devastated."

I wished I had my cat ears on, but I hadn't transformed yet. "What did you say?" I thought she said Marinette, but that wouldn't make any sense. Why point out Marinette specifically? Nino and my other friends would be upset too!

"Oh... um. Just that... your friends are going to be devastated when you die."

That made more sense. I sighed knowing the pain I would be inflicting on those I care about, but I couldn't think of a way around it.

"Believe me. I know how much pain I will cause my friends, but it's for the greater good of Paris. I can't let my father get my Miraculous."

"Okay. If this is what you think you have to do then I'm in. After the next Akuma attack, I'll create the illusion of you falling off of the tower."

Suddenly the tower shook. I look behind me and saw an Akumatized person attacking the tower.

"I'll take care of this Rena. Just focus on faking my death. Plagg claws out!"
