Jasmine closed the door behind them and walked over to Marinette. "Here," she said, handing her a blanket.

'Thank you', Marinette smiled. "No problem," Jasmine smiled back.

"Now," she turned around to Adrien. Adrien chuckled awkwardly and stood next to the door sheepishly. "You! This isn't what I meant by going to talk to Marinette!"

"Well, I couldn't just show up as Adrien! I thought she was at school!" He argued.

"Why not?"

"Because Adrien didn't go to school, so it would've been weird to show up during lunch. I would've gotten in trouble. The school would call my dad and tell him I showed up late!"

"Yeah, but afterward you went to Marinette's house! You could've walked in as Adrien! You could've said you were on your lunch break and wanted to check up on her! Not kidnap her from her room in this freezing weather!!" Jasmine huffed and placed her hands on her hips.

"I'm sorry. . . I didn't think!" He turned to Marinette. "Je suis tellement désolé, ma petite coccinelle.*"

It's ok, Marinette signed with a small smile. Jasmine sighed.

Adrien sat down next to Marinette on the couch and Jasmine sat on the single couch. The tension in the room had grown and none of them knew where to begin.

Jasmine took a deep breath and decided to break the tension, "Perhaps we can use this to our advantage."

Adrien and Marinette turned to her, puzzled. "How so?" Jasmine looked over at the couple, "He doesn't know your identity, right?"

Adrien shook his head. "Good. He doesn't know Marinette's either and you two are classmates."

'Where are you going with this?' Marinette asked. Jasmine smiled a little, "Well, he's also using a miraculous. So let's take it."

Marinette blinked in surprise. Adrien frowned, "Just. . . take it? That's it?"

"Well, it's obviously not going to be easy! You haven't stumbled upon it so he has to have it on. There has to be some way you can sneak it away from him."

'I guess that could work,' Marinette mouthed. Adrien stared at Jasmine confused, "What do you mean just take it?! How are we going to do that?!"

"He has to take off the miraculous at some point, do you guys sleep and shower with them on?" Jasmine raised a brow. "Adrien you're wearing a ring and Mari a necklace. If I'm not mistaken, your dad doesn't wear any flashy jewelry or obvious jewelry, Adrien." 

"You are right on that . . ." Adrien muttered. "Actually," he started, "I saw a book, a red book in his office. It has images of all the miraculous and Hawkmoth's is a brooch. I've never seen father wear one so you're right, he must hide it."

Jasmine smiled, "It's a brooch? Then he has to take it off at some point! Like when changing or showering. Adrien, do you know your father's schedule?" Adrien nodded. "Ok, good. We can use that to our advantage."

How? Marinette signed. "Yeah, LB, how would it work?" 

"Well, as I said, you two are classmates. I know how your father is, so invite her over pretending that you two are going to work on a project. Invite her over when you know your father is getting ready for something."

"Except that I don't need to make up an excuse," Adrien spoke quietly. Jasmine looked at him confused and Marinette did too. "What?" Jasmine asked.

"When you wanted to tell Marinette she could keep the miraculous, father let her in, just like that. And with the way he acted and the whole sudden internship thing, I'm not really comfortable. Besides, the inspiration thing is fucked up."

Marinette and Jasmine looked at him, even more confused. "You never elaborated on that."

"My father is Hawkmoth, and that sick son of a bitch took inspiration for his victims from Mari! What kind of sick fuck takes a disability and makes it a weapon?!" 

Marinette's face saddened. Adrien was right. She felt awful and sick knowing that Hawkmoth was taking inspiration from her disability to hurt others. Instead of making something good out of it, he twisted it to fill his selfish desires. 

Jasmine's face turned to anger, "Holy shit you're right. That fucker!" Before Jasmine could say anything else, she was interrupted by Thomas's crying. Her motherly instincts kicked in quickly and she went into her room, where Thomas was in. 

Adrien felt bad about causing all the yelling and Marinette was surprised he was just now making a fuss. 

Jasmine came back holding little Thomas in her arms. He was still crying but not as loud. "Sorry LB, we didn't mean to wake him up." She sighed, "It's ok, he's been napping for too long anyway. So, what's the final plan?"

"Well, I don't want that sick fuck to even look at Mari anymore, so you're going to sneak in like last time," Adrien turned to Marinette. She nodded. Adrien turned back to Jasmine, "We'll try your plan, to take away his miraculous. I know he has an event scheduled in a few days, we can try then."

"Great, in the meantime we can figure out a plan on what to do when we have his miraculous," Jasmine added. "I really hope this plan works. A head-on confrontation wouldn't be a good thing."

'But won't he be mad when can't find his miraculous?' Marinette asked. "Oh he will," Adrien responded.

"We just have to come up with a way to make him forget all about it."
