"Hurry up, Tikki we're going to be late for class."

Marinette shouted at Tikki, who she assumed was still in her room. She ran to the dining hall only to see Tikki already waiting for her with a bag which must have her breakfast packed by Tikki, knowing she would be late.

Tikki looked to her side with a bored expression. Although she knew Marinette would be late, she always wondered if she could be early one day and not rush everything. Marinette took the bag from Tikki and thanked her.

"You're welcome, but can you try to be early next time? Also, why did you think I was still in my room? I am always earlier than you" Tikki said.

"I don't know; I guess I feel less guilty making you wait when I say that," Marinette said while laughing nervously at her cousin, who was glaring daggers at her.

They got in the car, and Tikki drove to the college as fast as she could. Luckily, they reached the college in time, and there were still five minutes left. As they got out, they saw some students standing around, and some rushing in to their class. Then, they heard someone calling out to them.

Both of them looked around to find the person who was calling them.

"GUYS!"

They heard it again, and this time they saw who it was. It was Fei.

"Hey Fei!" Tikki said as Fei jogged up to them.

"Hey, you guys! I see you came just in time" she said teasingly.

"Well, if someone would just try to wake up early for once we wouldn't have to be racing to school," Tikki said irritatedly.

"Hey! Sleep is important too!" Marinette tried to defend herself from Tikki's accusations.

Fei burst out laughing, and soon enough, they were all laughing. "Okay, come on, let's go inside, there is still one minute left, so we gotta hurry up," Fei said while rushing both Marinette and Tikki. They all entered their class just in time for the professor to start their lesson.

Meanwhile in Paris,

"Nathalie, what do I have to do today?"

"You just have one meeting today morning that you have to attend sir."

"Good. After the meeting, we will go to the hospital to see his progress." Gabriel solemnly said while getting up from the chair and walking towards the door with Nathalie right behind him.

~At the hospital~

ADRIEN'S POV

Opening my eyes seems like the biggest task at hand right now. Has it always been this hard? Or are my eyes just lazy right now? It feels like it's been years since I opened my eyes. Bright lights blinded my eyes when I tried to open them. My eyes closed to shut out of reflex. I tried flickering them open once again slowly. This time I could finally make out the room I was in. White walls surrounded me, the room illuminated by the lights. After some time, it hit me that I was in a hospital room. But what am I doing here?

I tried sitting up, but my back felt too stiff to even move an inch. I groaned in pain at my poor attempt to sit. Suddenly, I heard the door to the room opening and closing. My eyes darted to the door, trying to see who had just come in. The person came close to my bed, and I could finally see who it was. My father. His body went rigid, and he was standing there with his eyes wide open.

"Fa-" I tried calling out to him, but my voice came out hoarse.

Not a moment too soon, I was hugged by my father. I felt my father crying as his tears were damping my shirt. I hugged my father back, clueless as to why he was crying. I couldn't stop thinking about why my father was so emotional right now.

Why is father crying?

Why am I here?

Did something happen?

My thoughts were unstoppable. My father pulled away and smiled at me with tears in his eyes. He looked at me as if this was a dream.

"Nathalie, call the doctor to check on him and call all his friends, tell them Adrien is finally awake" father said, still trying to wipe away all the tears.

"Yes, of course, sir"

When I looked in the direction of the voice, I realised Nathalie was also there. I smiled at her, and she smiled back gratefully. Tears were also gathering up in her eyes, but she tried to control them from falling.

"Father" I tried saying again.

"You need water. Wait, I'll get it for you," father said.

He poured water into the cup and helped me to drink it. My throat felt much better, so I tried speaking again.

"Father"

"Adrien, I know you have lots of questions, but for now, rest until the doctor comes to check up on you. We can talk after this."

"Okay father"

My father and I then heard a knock on the door. I was sure it was not the doctor. My father told the people at the other side of the door to come in. The door immediately swung open, and to say I was shocked was an understatement. Nino and Alya stood there panting, and just like my father, their bodies went still for a second until they came running towards me. I was thrown backwards when they hugged me tightly, and if it wasn't for this bed, I think I would have fallen to the ground.

"Umm, guys, my arms are kind of hurting, and I can't breathe," I said, and they pulled away, muttering their apologies. Their eyes shone with relief and gratitude. This just added more questions in my head. How long was I out for?

Soon, the doctor entered and asked everyone to leave the room so that he could start the check-up. They walked out unwillingly as if I would disappear the moment they step out. I sighed, thinking later I will ask them what happened.

-

Everyone was beyond happy with this news, but they did not expect the turn of events that was waiting for them.
