“Chat, come on!” She yelled at her Yo-Yo/phone, despite knowing that won’t make him show up any faster.
She rarely made it to their patrols, so she didn’t really know when he would normally show up. Within a few minutes, she saw a dark figure vault above the buildings and land gracefully near her.
“M’lady” He smirks, as he always does.
She rolls her eyes at him, still continuing their usual silent banter, “Chat, serious talk, I figured out who Hawk Moth is, and us two are going to have to gather up all the holders, and by the end of next week, we will have saved Paris and there will be no more Hawk Moth”
“That’s fine, but are you going to spill the beans on who it is and how the hell you found out?”
“Patience Kitty, I’m getting there. From what I know about him, Hawk Moth will not go down without a fight, but I can’t figure out why he went evil.”
“If you told me who you’re even talking about I could probably help more m’lady,” Chat grumbled.
She sighed “You’ve most likely heard of the Agreste brand, right.”
His breath hitched, and he silently nodded.
“Gabriel Agreste, and his assistant, Nathalie, are Hawk Moth and Mayura, but from the information I’ve gathered she got sick, and that’s why he’s now going by Shadow Moth and unified the Miraculous”
Chat noir went pale and looked down at his staff. It couldn’t be true… could it? His father… his father was Hawk Moth… and Nathalie was helping him?!... Well, that part wasn’t as surprising. She would do practically anything for father. After a moment, Ladybug jolts Chat out of his thoughts.
“Chaton? Are you alright?”
“Yeah… yeah, I’m just uhm, tired, you know, processing, you just dropped a bomb on me heh heh…”
She could tell that wasn’t it, but didn’t want to be rude and press further. “Alright… Well, we have to come up with a plan. Rena Furtive should be here shortly to help us, but what do you think we should do?”
“I uhm- I don’t know I need to uh use the bathroom, be back in a few m’lady!” He smiled, even though it was fake, and vaulted away.
“Plagg, claws in.” He mumbled after landing in a secluded alleyway. Adrien pulled a piece of Camembert out of his shirt, offering it to the kwami. “It can’t be true.” He slid down against the wall. “Can it?”
“But clearly, your dear old dad has been pretty sketchy the whole time, Adrien.” Plagg stated, before promptly swallowing the cheese whole.
“I mean you're right, but I always thought it was just his way of grieving, being more withdrawn and… ignorant.”
“Kid, it’s gonna be fine, it’s not like you guys are going to kill him, we’re just making sure he will hurt no one else.”
Adrien nods and takes a deep breath. “Plagg, claws out” he says before going back to patrol with Ladybug.
“You’re back, are you sure you’re alright Chaton?”
“I’m fine.” he says, accidentally letting a hint of anger seep into his words, making Ladybug think otherwise.
Chat knew he was going to break down; he just knew it was going to happen he needed someone. He fell into Ladybug’s arms, sniffling and crying quietly.
“Chat, don’t worry, it’ll all be fine,” she murmured into his hair. “It’ll be fine…”
