Friday afternoon rolls around and the three heroes make their way over to Master Fu's place.

Jasmine left her baby with her fiance, still being to paranoid about taking him anywhere that has anything to do with her being Ladybug.

Marinette and Adrien made their way over together. Adrien convincing his driver and Marinette having have told her parents she was going to Alya's.

The three heroes arrived at the same time. They stood at the entrance of Master Fu's place and looked at each other.

"Do you think we'll get in trouble for knowing each other's identity?" Adrien asked. "Probably. Fuck, I forgot about that," Jasmine sighed.

Tikki poked out of Jasmine's pocket and spoke, "It came out good in the end, Master Fu shouldn't be too mad."

Mullo popped up as well, "Yeah, I mean, without it, it would've made finding out who Hawkmoth was more difficult. In the end, Adrien would have to reveal himself in order to explain how he found out who HW was."

"Just go in already! It's freezing out here!" Plagg groaned.

"Plagg!" Adrien glared. Plagg glared back.

Jasmine and Marinette looked at each other, sharing a quick laugh.

The three heroes walked in. Master Fu was sitting on the carpet, his back to them.

"I see you three know each other?" Master Fu spoke. The three heroes cringed a little.

Master Fu turned around, still sitting on the floor. He gestured for all three to sit and they all did. Their three kwamis flew out, being greeted by Wyazz. All four Kwamis flew away, Marinette staring after them.

Master Fu turned to Marinette, "You must be Marinette, it's nice to meet you."

Marinette turned back to him and mouthed, 'Hello, nice to meet you too.'

Master Fu turned back to Jasmine and Adrien. "I hope this has stayed only between you three."

Adrien scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and Marinette looked away again. "R-right," Jasmine said.

Master Fu raised a brow and hummed.

"We apologize for not following that rule, but it's been beneficial," Jasmine said. "How so, Ladybug?"

"W-well, we know who Hawkmoth is."

"What?" Master Fu frowned. "Who? How?"

"It's my father," Adrien spoke up. "I found a red book with pictures of all the miraculouses, the peacock miraculous, and his lair."

"What led you to suspect him in the first place? You didn't just stumble upon those things," Master Fu spoke.

"Well," Jasmine started, "it's thanks to Marinette. Adrien and Marinette are classmates, and long story short, Gabriel Agreste said he got 'inspiration' from Marinette because she's a fashion designer."

"But my father has only actually seen one of Marinette's designs and hasn't made any new designs or a new collection," Adrien continued.

"How does this lead to him being Hawkmoth?" Master Fu asked.

"Well, Marinette is mute. Most of his recent akumas have been noise related, at least the ones after he met Marinette," Adrien replied. "That's what led me to investigate and we were right."

"That's an interesting connection Chat Noir. That's very smart of you to figure out. Is that why all three of you have come to see me?" Master Fu asked.

"Yes, we need some help. We've talked about it and since it's Adrien's father, why not just take it?"

"Take his miraculous?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yes, we know where the book and other miraculous are, those won't be to hard to take. It's just getting his."

"But the issue is, what do we do afterwards? If we take it, he'll be pissed, father isn't a person you want to piss off. I don't doubt he'll go looking for it. The first person he'll blame is me," Adrien added. "And if he's gone so far to take advantage of people's emotions, god knows what he'll do to get his miraculous back."

Master Fu hummed.

"Why would he even want the ladybug and chat noir miraculous?" Jasmine asked.

"Well," Master Fu stroked his chin, "for the power the both provide together, I assume."

The three heroes looked at each other. "Provide together? As in, combine both miraculouses?" Adrien asked.

Master Fu nodded, "When the power of creation and power of destruction are combined, the holder will gain unlimited power and a wish can be granted. However, with that wish, comes a sacrifice."

Master Fu kept talking and explaining. Marinette and Jasmine were attentive, but Adrien's mind began to drift off.

What would my father want? He's rich, he's famous, he's respected, what else is he missing? Adrien thought.

"Could we potentially use both miraculouses to help stop Hawkmoth?" Adrien asked.

Master Fu turned to him, "It is a possibility Chat Noir, but as I stated, the ultimate power comes with sacrifices. It is a risky move and I advice against it."

'Then what else can we do?' Marinette asked. "When is your plan supposed to go into effect?"

"Tomorrow," Jasmine replied. "Tomorrow? Why didn't you come in sooner? I could've offered more help."

Jasmine and Master Fu kept discussing ideas and plans. Adrien, however, wasn't paying attention. He already had a plan in his mind.

He wanted to use both miraculouses and get that wish.

.

The three heroes walked out. They still weren't sure what to do, but Master Fu had advised them to bring the miraculouses to him immediately. From there, they could see how things play out.

It was risky, but without his powers, there wasn't much harm Gabriel could do to the heroes. Besides, Hawkmoth had been quiet as of lately. Akumas weren't a daily thing so it could possibly take him a while to notice. Adrien had mentioned the event was a long weekend event.

Adrien had kept quiet for the most part, only talking when asked something. He thought about sharing his plan with Jasmine and Marinette, but he knew they wouldn't agree.

So he didn't say anything. Jasmine said her good-bye and left for her place. Adrien walked Marinette home and she noticed his changed behavior.

They stood at the side entrance of the bakery. Marinette turned to him and looked up. 'What's wrong?' she asked.

"What do you mean princess?" Adrien asked. 'You're acting different. What are you thinking about?'

"It's nothing to worry your pretty little head over princess," Adrien grinned. Marinette huffed. 'Is it about tomorrow? Adrien you don't have to shelter me from this. I'm part of it too.'

Adrien's grin faded, "You're right princess. This does involve you." Adrien looked away nervously, "I'm just worried? Yeah, I'm just worried."

Marinette looked at him suspiciously, 'I'm not dumb Adrien!'

"I know you're not princess," he said, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "I am nervous. I mean, it's my father we're going against. I know what he's like and I'm worried about you and Ladybug and all of Paris."

That wasn't a lie, he really was worried, but that wasn't the main thing occupying his mind.

'It's going to be ok. We got this. You heard what Master Fu said, without his powers, what is he going to do?' Marinette reached up and placed her hands on his cheeks. 'I'll see you tomorrow, kitty.'

She leaned up and gave him a little kiss on the lips. Adrien smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow princess."
