Far From Home (Viperion X Reader)

Chapter Sixteen.

          I'm with Marinette, shopping for supplies for the bakery. She has been looking stressed all day, bags under her eyes. I have poked her face, bought her frosted cupcakes, cracked pointless jokes just to make her smile and see her usual face. I didn't even see Chloe at the hotel this morning and she's always in the lobby, bossing someone around. I wonder what's happening to everyone. I take my phone out and excuse myself to the restroom, leaving Percy with Marinette.
"What's UP, y/n?" Yup, that's Leah.
"Leah, hey. How's everything back at home? Has Gregory replaced me?"
"Funny. You're irreplaceable" she says and it makes me smile. "Now, where is my best friend?"
I sigh,"That's me, Leah."
"NO. I mean the cat."
"Haha." She has an unhealthy loving for my pet cat even though I am not allowed to get as many cats as I would like."Leah, everyone's been a little down over here. Even Marinette looks tired." She gasps.
          Yes, that's how serious it is. Marinette is always late or forgetting something but never has bags under her eyes.
"Look, relax. Maybe its just schools and bakery stuff. She has a lot on her plate." She says and I hope she's right. "OK. Thanks. I gotta go, bye."

           I walk back into the store and meet Marinette and Percy. We pay out and head for the bakery to deliver the supplies before going to the park. Marinette wanted to see Adrien Agreste's photoshoot. That reminds me.
"Mari." She hums in response.
"Do you know any mansions this big around here?" I show her a picture.
"That's Adrien's house. His dad is a very famous fashion designer. That building is equipped with insane security." I listen to her ramble on and on about how perfect Adrien is. I have some answers. That mansion is owned by a strict fashion designer who has denied his son right to a normal life as a kid. I'm happy Adrien was able to stand up for himself and even make friends that truly love him.

     "Someone looks like they have a crush." I tease and Marinette blushes.
"He's just so perfect" she sighs.
Suddenly, the sky turns dark and people are running for shelter and screaming like crazy. I sheild Marinette and take the shopping bag from her as we run, following Percy. She runs into the underground train station and we follow. I pull down the lid once we're inside and Marinette is telling a few panicked people to calm down. Suddenly, she faces me and shouts something that sounds like "Akuma" but, I don't understand. Before I know anything, I feel weak then, powerful. I see a purple sign hovering in front of my face and hear a voice speak to me.
            I can only focus on how awesome I feel. I look at my hands. Slowly, gloves appear on them and my whole body is magically transformed to my Golden Girl suit only (or any other costume you would love), this feels more real.

"Yes, Hawkmoth."

I lift myself in the air, marveling at my new power. I punch through the ground and fly through to the open air. There are evil looking people everywhere. As I look around all of Paris, I decide this is all worth it. I will thank that Hawkmoth later. Right now, I only have one aim; capture ladybug's earrings.

Okay, I did not expect this to happen but, I never really planned anything in this book.
