Miraculous Arachnia

Chapter 7

 Adrien and Felicity's Aunt Amelie came to visit from London along with their cousin Felix. Felicity wasn't at the house to greet them. Amelie and Felix walked into the house. She hugged Adrien first before going to Gabriel demanding he return the twin rings to her. Adrien hugged Felix whom didn't return the hug but glared at him instead.

"Where's Felicity is she still in Sydney?" Amelie asked noticing the eldest daughter wasn't around.

"She's actually back in Paris visiting for the summer" Adrien responded.

"Oh really? Then where is she?" His Aunt questioned. Adrien simply shrugged his shoulders. That's when Felicity walked through the door wearing a casual light blue dress with her hair tied in a ponytail.

"Sorry I'm late. I lost track of time" She said as she walked in.

"Felicity darling, you look as beautiful as ever" Amelie said as she gave her niece a hug.

"It's nice to see you too Aunt Amelie" She said as she returned the hug. Felix walked over to them.

"It's good to see you Felicity" He said. He was on good terms with Felicity since she was the only one from the Agreste family that came to his father's funeral.

"You too Felix" She responded giving him a small smile.

Later on that day, Felix and Adrien were hanging out in Adrien's room. Adrien excused himself leaving Felix alone. He heard Adrien's phone ring. Adrien had received a heartwarming message from his friends. Felix decided to use this opportunity to get revenge on Adrien. He went into his closet changed his clothes so he could like exactly like Adrien. He deleted the message Adrien received and recorded one to send out.

"What do you think you're doing?" He heard a feminine voice speak from Adrien's doorway. This startled Felix as he turned around to see his other cousin Felicity.

"Uh nothing" He said in response trying to cover up what he was actually doing.

"Felix, I know you're mad at Adrien but that doesn't give you the right to mess with his things" She scolded with her arms crossed over her chest.

"How do you know I'm not Adrien?" He questioned with a smirk.

"Do you honestly think I can't tell the difference between my brother and my cousin? I'm not stupid you know. You two used to switch with each other all the time" She told him.

"Well Adrien deserves it. He didn't come to my father's funeral!" Felix exclaimed.

"It wasn't his fault Felix. You know how my father is" She said defending her brother.

"So what? You still managed to come and you two are siblings" He pointed out.

"I came straight from Australia. My dad didn't even know I was going" She remarked. "Adrien wanted to go, but you know how My dad likes keeping him on a tight leash. He made him do a photoshoot instead" She continued defending her brother.

"That doesn't make up for the fact that he didn't come. Maybe I'll reconsider if Uncle Gabriel gives my mom back the rings he took" He argued. Felicity snorted in response.

"Yeah good luck with that. They were my parent's wedding rings. He's never going to give them up willingly" She told him. "I don't even know why I'm arguing with you. No matter what I say you're still going to get your 'revenge' so I'm clearly wasting my time" She said before walking away. Felix looked down at his cousin's phone. Despite what Felicity said earlier, he was still mad at Adrien. He sent the message that he recorded to all of Adrien's friends. As a result, three of Adrien's friends were akumatized. Luckily Ladybug and Chat Noir showed up to save the day. Felicity decided that those two could handle the situation on their own and didn't interfere as Arachnia. She went up to her father's office knocking on the door before entering.

"Father are you busy at the moment?" She questioned as she walked in. To her surprise, her father wasn't in here. "That's odd, he's always in here" She mumbled as she looked around. She then shrugged her shoulders before leaving shutting the door behind her. Eventually, Ladybug was able to de-evilize those who were akumatized. Felicity checked her father's office once again except this time he was sitting at his desk.

"Father, may I have a word with you?" Felicity requested. It was probably the only time she spoke so politely to her father.

"What is it Felicity?" He questioned in response. She walked over to him standing across from his desk.

"I want you to switch your ring out for a dupe" Felicity told him. Gabriel looked up at his daughter with a stern look on his face.

"why would I do that?" He asked.

"Because I know you really want to keep the rings and I know how much Aunt Amelie wants them back so knowing Felix, he's going to steal yours right off your finger" She explained. Gabriel was surprised that his daughter was actually helping him. "I know how much the rings mean to you cause it's one of the few things you have left of Mom" She then said. Gabriel decided to take his daughter's advice by switching out the rings. He kept the real ring locked in the drawer of his desk. The two of the joined the other three in the foyer where they were to say goodbye to Amelie and Felix who were to return to England.

"I'm sorry I caused everyone so much trouble" Felix said apologetically.

"What you did was unforgivable" Adrien said.

"Now that his father isn't-" Felix stopped his mother before she could finish.

"No Mom, Adrien is right. I don't deserve to be forgiven. I put my favorite cousin in danger" Felix spoke.

"Excuse me?" Felicity chimed feeling slightly insulted that he called Adrien his favorite.

"Maybe I can learn from this and come back as a better person" Felix commented. Felicity rolled her eyes knowing that was never going to happen. He gave Adrien a handshake before pulling him into a hug which took Adrien by surprise. "I really am sorry" He mumbled. Felix pulled away from Adrien before setting his sights on his other cousin.

"Felicity, I should've listened to you. Maybe if I had then none of this would've happened" He told her. Felicity sighed in response. She still didn't believe him, however she decided to let it slide for now.

"Your dad is still watching you Felix and he wouldn't be proud of the stunt you pulled so if you plan on becoming a better person at least do it knowing your father will be proud of the person you become instead of ashamed of the person you are now" She told him. Felix gave her a hug. Felicity only patted him on the back. He then turned his attention to his uncle.

"I hope I can be a better person for you too Uncle" he said to Gabriel as he held out his hand. Gabriel was hesitant at first.

"Goodbye Felix" He said as he shook his nephew's hand. Felicity watched carefully witnessing Felix slip the ring off her father's finger just like she suspected he would. After that Felix and Amelie left the house. Adrien ended up chasing after his cousin just as he was getting in the car. Felicity walked over to her father.

"Noticed anything missing from your hand?" She questioned with a smirk. Gabriel looked at his hands and just as his daughter predicted, Felix stole the ring. "You really should loosen your reigns on Adrien a little. He's so sheltered that he completely fell for Felix's act." She then commented. Gabriel didn't say anything. Although thanks to his daughter's plan, he still had both rings.
