Miraculous Arachnia

Chapter 5

Adrien hadn't spoken to his sister for the rest of the night. He hated the fact that Felicity and their father never got along. It all started happening after their mom disappeared. He tried not to think about it too much, but the thought always crawled back into his mind. He wondered if things would go back to normal if their mom was here. The next day, Adrien walked into class with a somber look on his face and his best friend could easily tell something was wrong.

"Dude you okay?" Nino asked. Adrien shook his head as he took his seat next to Nino.

"My father actually ate dinner last night with me and my sister and they got into a huge fight. Felicity stormed out of the house and I haven't heard from her since" He explained.

"Oh dude that sucks" Nino commented.

"What did they fight about? Was it serious?" Alya questioned after overhearing the conversation.

"I asked my father if I could hang out with you guys tomorrow, but he said that I had to stay home and practice the piano and Felicity completely flipped out on him" Adrien replied. "He threatened to cut her off and keep her from going back to Sydney. That's when she stormed out of the house" He continued.

"Have you tried contacting her?" Alya inquired. Adrien shook his head.

"No, I know Felicity. It's a bad idea to bother her when she's mad" He noted. Ms. Bustier walked in the room signaling the start of class. Adrien had trouble concentrating. His mind was too distracted from the events of last night. When school came to an end, and he walked outside he looked up at the sky. On the building across the street he spotted someone familiar. It was Arachnia sitting on the rooftop by herself. She must have sense he was looking at her cause her gaze met his. She gave him a friendly wave before hopping off of the rooftop landing on her feet on the sidewalk.

"Hello" She greeted with a smile. Alya came running when she saw the blonde heroine approach Adrien.

"Oh my god Arachnia! What are you doing here? Can I get an interview?" Alya asked excited to be in the presence of the spider hero of Sydney. Arachnia giggled in response.

"Well, I initially came to Paris to meet the infamous Ladybug and Chat Noir, but I decided I wanted to stay and sightsee. And as for the interview... maybe another time" She said to the blogger. She turned her attention back to Adrien. "You seem a little glum, is there something wrong?" She asked him. Adrien shook his head not wanting to trouble a super heroine like her with his problems. She placed her hand on his shoulder and Adrien looked up at her awestruck. "Hey, whatever is bothering you is probably not as much of a big deal as you're making it out to be. Life can be hard, but I promise things will get better. You're lucky enough to be surrounded by people who care about you and would have no problem supporting you when you need it." She then told him with a smile on her face. Adrien looked down at the ground.

"It's just that......I'm worried about my sister. She left last night after she got into an argument with my father and I haven't heard from her since" He said to her. Part of her felt guilty for worrying her brother, but she didn't want to accidentally reveal her identity, especially out in public. So for now, she pretended like she was only somewhat familiar with whom he was.

"Oh that's right. You're Adrien. Felicity's younger brother" She spoke. Adrien looked back up at her surprised she knew who he was and his sister.

"You know who I am and my sister?" He questioned. Arachnia nodded her head.

"The Agreste family is quite popular in Australia believe it or not. I actually became acquainted with Felicity when she came to Sydney. She's a lovely girl. I spoke with her earlier, actually. She's sorry for worrying you and says she's fine. She just wants you to be happy and live your life how you want to live it" She responded. Those words actually helped Adrien feel better. She heard the spider on her belt start to beep. "Well, that's my cue to leave. I'll see y'all later" She said before she took off. Arachnia made it back to her apartment before she detransformed back into Felicity.

"Do you think you and your father will ever get along?" Faang asked her. Felicity shrugged her shoulders.

"Who knows, he doesn't seem interested in changing so if he stays the way he is now then probably not" She responded. "I feel bad for Adrien though. My father is so stubborn that Adrien has to suffer. He has to live by my father's image and not his own and that's not fair to him." She continued.

"Poor Adrien" Faang commented feeling sympathetic towards his holder's brother.

"Hey, it's been awhile since we saw Master Fu. How about we go visit him tomorrow and you can hang out with the other Kwamis. I believe you only saw Wayzz last time and I'm sure the other Kwamis must miss you" She suggested with a smile on her face. It was true, many years had passed since he last saw his kwami friends.

"Thank you Cici!" He exclaimed as he hugged his holder's cheek. Felicity giggled in response as she caressed him with one hand.

"You deserve it Faang. Thank you for allowing me to be a hero that can protect the people I care about" She told him.

"That's all you Felicity. I just give you powers, everything else is your doing" He said to her. Felicity didn't say anything but smile.

"Are you hungry? I might have some sweet crackers left" She offered. She walked into the kitchen with her kwami following her from behind. They always ate their meals together. It was lunchtime. Felicity decided to prepare a salad, and she went into the cabinet, pulling out a box of crackers for Faang. She enjoyed the fact that she had a close bond with her kwami. It was kind of like the one she shares with Adrien. While they were eating, she texted Adrien letting him know that everything was okay, and that she was to see him tomorrow after she visits a friend.
