Miraculous Arachnia

Chapter 10

The war against Hawkmoth was finally over. Both Hawkmoth and Mayura were now in custody. Felicity was packing her things getting ready for her trip back to Australia. She had promised to stay until Hawkmoth was defeated and now that he was; it was time to resume her life in Sydney. Marinette being the new guardian agreed to let Felicity keep her miraculous since she played a huge role in the final battle. As Felicity was packing, she received a phone call.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hi, is this Felicity Agreste?" They asked on the other line.

"Yes, may I ask who's calling?" She questioned in response.

"This is the Paris Police Department. We would like for you and your brother Adrien to come down to the precinct so we can speak to you in person" They requested.

"What's this about?" She asked unsure of why the police want to speak to her and Adrien.

"We'll discuss it when we see you" Was all they said before hanging up. Felicity was confused. Adrien was still in school, so she had to go pull him out. When she got there, she spoke to the principle telling him that there was a personal emergency so that she can take Adrien out early. The principle agreed as he had a secretary pull Adrien out of class. As Adrien arrived in the office, he saw his sister standing there and cocked an eyebrow wondering what was going on and why she was here.

"I don't exactly know what's going on, but you and I are needed down at the Precinct" She told him. Now Adrien was concerned. The two made their way to the Precinct downtown where they were greeted by one of the officers. The two siblings were escorted into a room and left alone for a little. Moments later two officers came in bringing in their father and Nathalie in wearing handcuffs. Both Felicity and Adrien were surprised by this.

"We will leave you four alone to talk. We'll be back in a few minutes. We're just waiting on Gabriel's lawyer to show up" The officer spoke before closing the door leaving the four of them alone together.

"Okay, dare I ask why you two are in handcuffs?" Felicity asked.

"There's something we need to tell you kids" Nathalie spoke.

"judging by the fact that you two were arrested I would agree. Start talking" Felicity stated annoyed.

"Felicity don't speak to Nathalie that way" Gabriel ordered.

"Okay, I'm going to ask again. What happened?" Felicity asked completely ignoring her father. Before they could speak an officer came in the room with two small bags that contained two different jewels.

"Sorry to interrupt but I was told that we could hand these over to you Ms. Agreste" The officer said as he handed Felicity the two bags before walking back out. Felicity looked at the contents of the bag and immediately recognized them. They were the butterfly and peacock miraculouses.

"Oh my god, don't tell me that you two are Hawkmoth and Mayura?" Felicity questioned. She looked up at them and the two of them couldn't even make eye contact with her. This made her angry. Adrien was too stunned by the news to even speak. Felicity slammed her hands on the table. "Are you kidding me?! Do you have any idea how much trauma you caused to the people of Paris?" She questioned with anger. "You even put me and Adrien in danger! Your own children whom you claim you want to protect! Tell me what your reason for doing this and it better be a good one" She then growled.

"I did it for your mother" Gabriel stated. "I was going to bring her back so we can be a family again" He continued. Felicity held up the peacock miraculous to show her dad.

"I remember Mom wearing this before she 'disappeared'. Are you trying to tell me that you let Mom wear a broken miraculous knowing the harm it does to the user?" She questioned. Gabriel fell silent. Felicity was shaking with anger. Her hands clenched into fists. "You are aware that using Ladybug's and Chat Noir's miraculous to make a wish comes with great sacrifice. What would you have done if that sacrifice was either me or Adrien or worse, both of us?" She questioned. "Tell me Dad, would it be worth it to bring Mom back knowing you would be sacrificing your own children?" She continued. Gabriel was still silent.

"Felicity, you know your father wouldn't do such a thing" Nathalie spoke coming to his defense.

"Nathalie, as much as I would like to believe you. I'm not sure if I can" Felicity said somberly.

"You said you did this so we can be a family again. Why did we have to stop being a family?" Adrien finally spoke disappointed in his father's actions. Felicity turned to her brother. She could see the tears running down his cheeks. She gave him a hug in an attempt to console him.

"Adrien's right you know. Mom being gone shouldn't have stopped us from being a family. Although, with all the damage you caused. There's probably no chance of us being a family again. If you think I had no respect for you before knowing you were Hawkmoth. I'm honestly ashamed to even call you my father now." She told him. "Adrien might be able to forgive you one day, but don't count on me ever forgiving you." She continued. "Come on Adrien, let's go home" She said as she guided Adrien out of the room. The Officers came back in just as Felicity and Adrien were walking out. "If it's okay with you officers, we'll be leaving" She said.

"Hold on, we need to talk to you two first" The officer told them. He took them to his office so they can talk in private with the family's lawyer. "We will be conducting an investigation on Gabriel Agreste which means we will be claiming the house and everything in it as evidence" The officer continued. This made Adrien worry wondering what he was going to do if he can't go home.

"Also, since your father has pleaded guilty to his actions, his company is being shut down. Felicity, since you are considered an adult, Adrien will be placed in your care" The Lawyer spoke. Felicity nodded her head in agreement.

"Thank you, do you mind we go home now? We would like to process this on our own" She requested. The officer agreed to let them go and told them he would be in touch. Felicity took her brother back to his house so he could pack a bag. Adrien was quiet the entire time. Felicity knew that he was having a rough time accepting the reality of what was happening. It was going to be tougher on him knowing he was going to be all alone. She was scheduled to leave tomorrow to fly back to Sydney. She was only going to be gone for five more months before she graduates from her program. Felicity called in a favor from her Aunt in London. She told her everything that happened, and she agreed to come to Paris for a few months and take care of Adrien on her behalf. Felicity expressed how grateful she was before hanging up the phone.

"Adrien, I want to talk to you" Felicity told her brother.

"What is it?" He asked turning around in his chair at his desk.

"I know there's a lot going on right now, but I'm still going back to Sydney tomorrow" She stated.

"Wait, we're going to Sydney?" Adrien questioned. Felicity shook her head.

"No, I'm going. You're staying here" She responded. She saw the sadness in his eyes. "I'm only going to be gone for 5 months. Aunt Amelie agreed to come to Paris and stay with you at my apartment so you can still attend school here. You have friends here Adrien. I don't want to take you away from them" She explained trying to reassure him that everything was going to be okay. "Don't worry, I will video chat with you whenever I have free time." She then told him. Adrien got up from his chair pulling his sister into a hug. She quickly returned the hug.

"Everything is going to be okay" She mumbled. Felicity went to Marinette's house to say goodbye to her and tell her what happened in regard to their father. She told Marinette that Adrien was staying, and their Aunt was going to look after him until she came home.

"I promised Master Fu that I would support the new guardian and I know the task seems a bit daunting right now. But if you ever need someone to talk to, fill free to contact me. I'm usually up late anyway doing patrol around Sydney so don't worry about waking me up." She told her.

"Do you think Adrien is going to be okay?" Marinette asked. Felicity shrugged her shoulders.

"I think he's still trying to process everything that happened. I don't think it's fully sunk in yet so he may seem a bit off for a while, but he does need his friends more than ever now, so I thank you in advance for being there for him. If you're ever worried about him, let me know and I'll talk to him" She responded. Felicity decided that it was time to go. She transformed into Arachnia giving Marinette one last hug before leaving. With Arachnia's help, peace was restored in Paris.
