The Unlikely Hero

Adrien opened his eyes; he couldn't sleep very well. He turned over and noticed a notification on his phone. "That's weird" He said to himself, who would be texting him this late, would his father seriously try to text him? He grabbed his phone and looked at the message, it was from Master Fu. Call me when you can, the message wrote. He sat up and dialed his number, "Wait what am I doing, He wouldn't be up this late." He hesitated but then looked at when the text was sent which was only 5 minutes ago. "He must be awake," he said to himself and pressed call. A few seconds later he was greeted by a grumpy voice on the other side. "Hello Adrien, are you ready to work out-ttt?" "Master it's only 3 am do you expect me to start doing pushups? I called you because you texted me." Adrien frowned at his master's odd behavior, was he still in his right mind? He was getting old after all. "Oh yeah, meet me at the gym at 5 o clock in the morning-nn!" "Wait 5 am? We barely have gotten any sleep and Marinette is still recovering." "Oh, is that too early for you? Waa Waa well I guess you're just not ready. Call me when your done crying brother-rrr!" He hung up on Adrien. "That was rude." Adrien was horrified that this man had his miraculous. "I'll teach him a lesson" Adrien said to himself smiling. He would get there at 4 am and take his miraculous back. He got out of bed and put on his jacket that Roland had given him. He put the hood on and headed towards the door. He snuck a peek at Marinette who looked like she was sleeping deeply. He was glad that she was getting rest. He went out into the rainy street and headed towards Master Fu's house. He walked down the empty streets looking left and right to make sure no one was following him. Little did he know Hawkmoth had seen him and was following close behind. When Adrien arrived, he found the door to Master Fu's place open. "This is not like him." He peeked inside and saw Master Fu tied up in the corner. "No" He said under his breath. All of a sudden someone pounced on him from behind. "The wet bandits have got you kid." Adrien struggled "We want all of the powers!" "Let me go! I don't have any powers." He was horrified when he saw one of the men had a crowbar and was about to bring it down on his head. He braced for the impact; this may be the end. He closed his eyes but all of a sudden, the bandits gasped in horror letting out obnoxious screams. Adrien wondered who his brave protector could be. He opened his eyes and sat up to see his father fighting the ridiculous bandits with his staff. "Father?" Adrien was shocked that he was here and forgot that it was a bad thing that he was at Master Fu's place. Adrien ran over to the tied-up master and freed him. "Quick the miraculous box!" He pointed towards the record player that contained the miraculous box. Adrien ran over and Master Fu punched in the code. "I need my ring." Adrien said. Master Fu opened the box and handed Adrien his ring. It felt good to have his ring back where it belonged. He transformed and grabbed Master Fu and the miraculous box. He looked back at his father who was fighting the bandits and hesitated. He felt bad leaving him there all by himself, but he forced himself to continue. His father would fight him too if the bandits weren't there. He dropped Master Fu off at his other house. "Thank you, Adrien, that was a close call." Adrien nodded and turned to leave. "Wait, is Marinette with you?" He asked with worry in his eyes. "I heard what happened and have been worried." "She's safe don't worry, Hawkmoth has her miraculous, but I plan to get it back before we leave." Adrien informed Master Fu. "Hawkmoth is your father then?!" Master Fu said realizing what Adrien had said earlier. "Yes, it's complicated, we're heading to New York in the morning to hide for a while." Master Fu didn't know what to say it was all going to fast. "You will keep me updated on your locations, right?" "Yes of course Master." Adrien said and he went on his way as Cat Noir back to Roland's house. When he arrived, he found Roland at the door, "Claws in," he said de-transforming. "Adrien, I saw that you left, are you okay?" He asked "Yeah, I'm fine, I have something I have to get before the morning." Adrien was exhausted from being up almost all night, but he was determined to get Ladybug's earrings before the morning. "Please be careful and try to stay awake." Adrien nodded and thanked Roland. He transformed and headed towards his house, which wasn't that far away from Roland's home. When he arrived he went through his window. The house was still, and Cat Noir crept towards his father's portrait of Emilie. He opened it up and cataclysmed the door. As he expected he found Ladybug's earrings in a little box within the chamber. He lifted them up and turned around to find Mayura standing behind him. "Adrien, don't be a fool and take your father's most prized possession." "These don't belong to him." Cat Noir said. "I won't let you stop your father's dreams anymore!" She yelled lunging at Cat Noir. He dodged her attacks, Mayura began to cough and fell to the ground. Cat Noir put his stick up to her face, "de-transform now Nathalie." He said calmly. She looked up at him and smirked, she grabbed his stick and flung him across the room. He landed on the ground with a crash his vision blurring. He couldn't black out now, he was too close. Mayura approached Cat Noir as he was motionless on the ground. She reached for his hand but at that moment, he grabbed onto her wrist flinging her to the ground. He immediately ran towards the window and left. He went as fast as he could back to Roland's house.
