Marinette and Adrien tried to relax while they waited for his father to leave. When that didn't work, they tried doing their assignment. That did actually help and there were able to finish most of it by around 1 PM.

A few minutes before 1, Nathalie walked in. "Adrien, your father will be leaving in a few minutes, I have a list for you of things that need to be done." She walked over and handed him a sheet of paper. Nathalie looked down at their work, "I see you two have advanced quite a lot. Good. Your father expects you two to be done and for Mlle. Dupain-Cheng to be out of the house by 2 PM. Your bodyguard will be staying here and he can offer her a ride." 

Without saying goodbye or letting Adrien respond, Nathalie walked out and closed the door. 

Marinette let go of a breath she didn't know she was holding. Adrien turned to look at her with an awkward look. "Yeah, sorry about that."

Marinette and Adrien worked for about another half hour and finished their work. 

"Ok, now that school and the miraculous is out of the way, there's the red book and the peacock miraculous left."

What are we going to do? Do we go get it now? Marinette signed. "That might be the best course of action. Father checks the cameras when he's gone but he usually waits a few hours. I assume he does that to see if I get comfortable and slack off on my work," Adrien said. 

"I'm still going to momentarily freeze the cameras and do a trick I did last time, just in case."

Are you going to do it? Marinette asked. Adrien nodded, "Silence isn't really needed, just stealth. I was able to get a look at the stuff before, so I think I can get them. Wait here."

Marinette nodded and Adrien stood up. He walked over to this door and opened it, peeking outside. Seeing the coast was clear, he left the room.

The three kwamis flew out and approach Marinette. "I'm still so confused, could you explain what's going on? I'm not sure I can wait until I get to Master Fu," Nooroo asked.

"Nooroo, she's mute, I already told you. Unless you suddenly have the ability to read sign language and or read lips," Plagg groaned.

Nooroo sighed, "I just really want to know now."

Mullo looked over at Marinette and she gave a single nod. "Ok fine," Mullo said.

Nooroo smiled. "As you are aware, Adrien is Chat Noir and Hawkmoth's son. Hawkmoth left a small trail of clues that Chat Noir caught onto and using that, he figured out Hawkmoth's identity," Mullo said.

"And what were those clues? My master was very smart, how was he careless enough to leave a trail?" Nooroo asked.

"Don't call him that anymore," Plagg made a face. "You're free now, no longer in his hands. Hawkmoth was messy with his akumas. As you know, Marinette is mute, she's friends, well now girlfriend, of Adrien. Gabriel knows her as Adrien's mute, fashion designer friend."

"Hawkmoth took inspiration from her muteness to create sound-related akumas, including akumatizing her," Mullo added.

"And how did Chat Noir figure out he drew inspiration from Marinette?"

"The idiot said so himself," Plagg replied. "He told Adrien that he drew inspiration from Marinette, except he'd only seen one design and according to Adrien, his father hasn't created anything fashion related. So Adrien put it together and figured it out."

Nooroo turned to Marinette, "I didn't realize how far his um. . . ideas went. That's a messed up thing to do. Not only did he take advantage of you, but he also used you to take advantage of others."

Marinette nodded sadly. "And we want to stop that, so while this seems like a rash decision, it's the best one we have," Mullo said. Plagg nodded, "Adrien should be back any minute now with Duusu and the red book. After that, we'll be heading to Master Fu's. He'll help us figure this out with Tikki and her holder." 

A few moments later, Marinette and the kwamis heard the door open. Adrien stepped in a grin on his face, the peacock miraculous in one hand, and the red book in another. Marinette smiled too. Their plan had worked! They had both miraculouses and the red book!

The kwamis cheered in excitement. 

It was decided that Marinette would take the miraculouses and red book with her. It was too risky for Adrien to keep them. 

Marinette wanted to take the stuff to Master Fu immediately but Adrien disagreed, wanting Jasmine to be there. He knew she'd be available in the evening as she would want to go without little Thomas. So Marinette left with the items, patiently waiting until the evening for her to go see Master Fu. 

The time arrived and Marinette transformed and left for Master Fu's. Her parents had gone out so she didn't have to worry about them.  

She carried a small bag containing the book and both miraculouses. She stopped a few streets away and detransformed, walking the rest of the way there. When she arrived, Adrien was already there and Jasmine had just arrived moments before her. 

"Good, you are all here," Master Fu spoke. Marinette approached him and opened her bag, giving him the red book and the miraculouses. They were in small boxes and when Master Fu opened them, Duusu and Nooroo came out. Tikki, Mullo, and Plagg flew out, giving their friends a big group hug.

"It's so good to have you guys back!" Tikki exclaimed. "And a huge relief," Master Fu said. "I made a mistake so long ago and I've carried that with me for so many years. But now you're back, thanks to Chat, Ladybug, and Marinette."

"But things are still not over," Adrien sighed. "We still have my father to deal with."

"That's another reason I wanted you guys to come meet me again. Now that we have the book and know Hawkmoth no longer has his powers, we can truly form a plan," Master Fu said. 

"Why can't we just pretend for all of this to go away? It'd be nice for Hawkmoth to forget he even was Hawkmoth," Jasmine crossed her arms and sighed. 

Adrien looked down at the ground, "Yeah, forget."

How do you guys feel about these chapters? I feel like they're so detached from the main story???

I know where I'm heading with this, I have the ending, but my writing just feels so off??

Idk, tell me what you guys think, does the writing still match? Any critiques?

Maybe it's just that it's been a while since I've worked on the book and these past few chapters have been solemn (for good reason, I mean, they found out who Hawkmoth is) and that differs from the rest of the story which is mainly fluff lol 

Either way, let me know what you guys think
