Adrien's POV

"Well, if the fates wanted us to come, we should try to figure out why" Kaden said. "We should split into groups of 2 or 3 to cover more ground"

"But first, i propose we get some real food." Mari said.

"Yeah dudes, I'm getting sick of only eating fish. I need a sandwich or something" Nino moaned. My stomach grumbled at the sound of food. I think we were all sick of only eating fish for the last 2 days.

"So, any good places to eat?" Eric asked.

"How about the sandwich shop down the road?" I asked.

"Sounds good" Ladan said as we led the way.

Once we got there and ordered our food, we sat down at a table outside. We ended up talking about random things as our food came.

"Gods, this food looks amazing" Ladan said as she took a bite. "Mhm, and it tastes even better"

"Since you've guys have grown up here, what is it like to not be a tourist?" Kaden asked us.

"Actually," I started. "I've only lived here since i was about 12"

"And i came in the 10th grade" Alya added.

"Well, Nino and I have lived here our whole lives" Mari said.

"Really? But if not from Paris, where are you 2 from?" Ladan inquired, pointing to Alya and me.

"Well, I once lived in a small city in the middle of America" Alya answered.

"I remember living in California before Paris. But it's all a bit fuzzy in my mind" I said. Come to think of it, i don't recall any memories from before i lived in Paris.

"Don't worry, my mind is fuzzy on any topic before i turned 13." Kaden shrugged.

"Oh. My Gods....." Ladan gasped, staring over our shoulders at something. I turned around to see a waiter, waiting another table. "Eric! That guy over there is super handsome!" Ladan kept nudging Eric while bouncing in her seat. He finally looked up.

"I'd totally bang that" Eric spoke nonchalantly.

"I know E. He may be cute, but he's not exactly my type. He might be yours though" Ladan winked.

"Wait, WHAT!!!" Alya, Mari, Nino, and I shouted in shock.

"Oh? Didn't we tell you? Eric's gay" Ladan giggled as she stared at our gaping mouths. "Whoops, guess not"

"That could've been an interesting thing to tell us about" Alya said, since she was the first to recover from the shock. I mean, I'm perfectly fine with it, but it just shocked us all.

"Ya know, it doesn't come up too often." Eric sighed.

"Anyways, we should split up now" Kaden said, shifting our conversation.

"I like what you said earlier, in groups of 2 or 3" I said.

"Yeah, I don't like being in one place too long" Ladan said. "Lets split and see if we can find anything out of the ordinary"

The groups were Mari and I, Alya and Nino, and Ladan, Eric, and Kaden. We each gone of to important places around the city. We went to the school, Nino and Alya had the Eiffel Tower, and the others took to the Louvre.

3rd Person POV

Ladan, Eric, and Kaden were admiring the Louvre and looking for anything of importance. Right now, they were in the section the Mona Lisa was placed. It was the only room they hadn't yet checked there.

"See anything not worthy?" Kaden asked from one side of the room.

"Nope" Eric said, investigating the middle.

"Na" Ladan replied from her corner.

Just then, they heard a crash. The 3 of them gave each other a look of panic then ran towards the noise. It had come from the Egypt room. Once they say what they were facing, they hid behind a pedestal to form a plan.

"That's an Empousa" Kaden said.

"Yes, because I soo needed its name, now how do we defeat it?" Eric sassed.

"From the looks of it, she's strong." Ladan said. "What's she doing?"

The monster was facing a kid. The kid was freaking out and crying. He couldn't be more than 5 years old. Everyone else in the exhibit had already ran out.

"What's wrong little demigod? Can't fight me?" The monster taunted.

"W-what are you?" The little boy asked.

"The thing that'll end your life!" She cackled.

"How could the empousa smell him already? He's too young" Eric questioned.

"Never mind that. Kaden, get him to safety as we try to fight it" Ladan said.

"On it!" He replied and they got out of their hiding spot. Eric and Ladan distracted the Empousa as Kaden picked the kid up and ran as far as he could. Then, he set the little boy down. "Are you okay?" The little boy looked up at him.

"Who're you?" He asked.

"A friend. And I'm going to get you somewhere safe." Kaden paused. "What's your name?"

"Tommy" The boy said.

"Well, Tommy. My name is Kaden. Do you have a mom or dad i could talk to?" Kaden asked and Tommy nodded. "Can you take me to him or her?"

"Mommy's over there!" Tommy pointed to a woman in a panicked state. They walked up to her.

"Oh, Tommy! You're safe!" The mom squealed and hugged Tommy.

"Um, miss?" Kaden said, interrupting the little reunion.

"Yes?"

"Your son is in danger. His scent was picked up" Kaden said, trying to see if the mother knew about him.

"What? But his father said he had at least 5 years left" The mother said, very scared of what would happen to her little Tommy.

"I'll get an Iris message to camp so they can send you a satyr." Kaden grabbed a drachma from his pocket and threw it in a puddle of water. He got an Iris message to camp but didn't know who'd be awake at this time to pick up.

The Iris message went through and it looked into Cabin 13. Through it, you could see 2 figures in a bed.

"Hello?" Kaden said as one of the figures yawned and sat up.

"What's going on..." It was Will, who had just opened his eyes to see kaden through the Iris message. They both stared at the other until Nico, who was still in bed with Will, woke up.

"Go back to sleep" Nico groaned, lazily grabbing Will's arm, trying to pull him back down.

"Neeks, we have a visitor" Will said and Nico sat up, seeing Kaden for the first time.

"Please tell me you didn't-" Kaden started.

"Gods! of course not!" Will shouted. "So, what do you need?"

"This little 5 year old" Kaden said as he picked up Tommy. "He's a demigod and an Empousa smelled him. Can you get a satyr to get him to camp? We're at the Louvre in Paris right now"

"Yeah, sure. We will do it" Nico sighed.

"Ok, see you" Kaden ended the Iris message and turned to the mom. "Keep him neaby. Someone's coming to get him"

"Thank you" The mom smiled.

"No problem. Now, if you excuse me, there's an empousa I have to help fight" Kaden waved goodbye and ran back inside the museum. There was this big crash and a large figure flew past him. He turned. It was the Empousa, which smacked into the wall, nearly unconscious. Kaden pulled out his dagger, which was previously sheathed to his belt. He ran up to the monster and stabbed it good in the heart. It exploded in a pile of gold dust, defeated and back in Tartarus and waiting to reform.

Kaden had just sheathed his weapon when Ladan and Eric ran up to him.

"Is everything taken care of?" Ladan asked.

"Yup" Kaden nodded. "A satyr should be coming soon"

"We should wait for them, anything could happen between now and then." Eric said.

"Mkay, I'll text the others" Ladan said, pulling out her phone to send a quick text to a newly-made group chat.

"Okay, lets go check on Tommy" Kaden said as they walked out to chill with Tommy.

Meanwhile with Nino and Alya...

"There's nothing here" Alya groaned.

"I know, but we should keep looking, just in case" Nino said as they jumped down from their spot. They were transformed, looking around the Eiffel tower for any clues as to why they were here.

"Hold up" Alya called, landing on a beam. "Ladan just texted us.

Ladan- Hey, just beat an Empousa, found a young demigod, waiting for a satyr to come for him. Meet us by the Louvre when you guys are finished up.

Nino landed beside her and looked over her to the text. "We should be getting back" He said, hoping on his turtle shell as it hovered in the air. "Coming?" He made room for Alya to get on, since it was easier. They were just about to leave when an explosion was heard behind them. They slowly turned their heads to each other with a look of fright on their faces. They turned to see the cause of the noise. Of course, it was an akuma.

It had taken about 30 minutes to get rid of the akuma. Nino was about to destroy the object when he remembered something .

"How do we purify it?" He asked.

"...good question" Alya said." I'll ask the others"

In Text

Alya- Hey guys, akuma by the tower. How do we purify it?

Mari- We're kinda busy right now

Ladan- On my way over

Alya- Thanks

End of Text

"Ladan's coming right now" Alya said as Nino nodded. The akuma victim was unconscious so they didn't have the need to break the object right away. They sat at the base of the tower, talking until Ladan arrived. Nino broke the akumatized object and ladan purified it and restored everything back to normal. They then went over to the Louvre.

Adrien's POV

Mari and I had been looking around the school for any clues as to what we were here for. So far, we got...nothing. We were currently leaving the school for more places to look.

"Adrien? Should we go tell our parents what happened to us? They will be worried once they find out when we don't come back from our trip." Mari said as i pondered for a minute.

"Sure" I answered as we walked across the street to the bakery that was Mari's house. It feels like forever since I've been here and I think she's thinking the same thing. But i could see it in her eyes that she was happy to be back home. We opened the door and heard the familiar jingling of bells. The amazing smell of the fresh pastries wafted over to us and i sighed. I missed that smell a lot.

"I forgot how good this place smelled" Mari and i said in perfect synchronization.

"Marinette? What are you doing here sweetie?" Sabine asked from behind the counter.

"Maman, we have to tell you something important." Mari said.

"I'm all ears" She said and took us upstairs and we sat on the couch. "Please tell me that Adrien didn't get you pregnant"

"Wha-No! Of course not" Mari shouted as she blushed. I simply smirked.

"Then what is it?" Sabine asked.

"I-Iknowthatyou'renotmybirthmother" Mari answered as fast as she could.

"o-oh" The look of realization on Sabine's face was off-putting.

"But Maman, you're still my mom. No matter what happens, I'll always be your daughter." They both smiled warmly and gave each other a big hug. It was a beautiful moment, but i think they forgot about me.

Sabine was the first to remember my existence. "Adrien, honey. Come here. You're pretty much part of our family by this point"

I smiled as they both pulled me into the hug. Is it weird to say that it was one of the best hugs I've ever received? It was filled with soo much love and warmth.

After we talked a little more, Sabine sent us off with a smile on her face and a big bag of pastries. "Bye Maman!" Mari called as we waved goodbye.

"Bye Sabine" I called as well. Then, we walked over to my father's mansion to talk to him, but i didn't really want to after where we just came from. "I don't see why we have to visit him" I combed my fingers through my hair as we walked.

"Because, he's your father and he still loves you." She said. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. Please, he doesn't care about me, much less love. He probably forgot i existed by now. "look, Adrien. I know you don't want to, but please? Do it for me?"

Then she did something I couldn't refuse. She stopped and playfully pouted and gave me her puppy dog eyes as she slightly grinded against me. She was too much when she does that. I sighed in utter defeat and said "Alright, we can visit my father" She smirked happily, seeing as she got her way. Damn, she's just so...what's the word...captivating, that I can't say no. She kissed my cheek and we continued down the street to father's mansion. As we walked, i put my arm around her shoulders and pulled her into me. I looked over to see a big smile on her face and a slight blush on her cheeks. I love how even after we've been dating for almost 3 years now, i can still make her blush with a single motion or word.

"-ey, hey, hey" She said as she snapped her fingers in front of my face. "You kinda went into a daze for a bit.

"Oh yeah, I'm okay. I was just thinking about you~" I teased as she giggled. That's when i realized we had arrived at my home...if you could even call it that. It was more of a place where i slept in, and i don't even do that half the time since i spend so much time with my girlfriend.

I rang the doorbell as the camera came out of the wall. "Hello?" Came the voice of Natalie.

"Hey Natalie, mind letting us in?" I asked as Mari slightly waved from my side.

"A-Adrien?" For once, Natalie's voice held an emotion, surprise. I think its from being around my father for too long. Her voice quickly went back to normal. "Come right in"

The big gates slowly opened. I was really nervous and Mari probably sensed it because she grabbed my hand comfortingly and mouthed, "I'm right here"

We walked in to see Natalie waiting for us. I was about to ask her where father was when she started to talk. "So you found out?" Her voice seemed a bit worried. I gave her an odd look since i couldn't understand. "Its not safe to talk openly here, follow me" She led us to the room with the big, pretty painting of mom...Was it really my mom though? Is that Aphrodite?

We sat down on the couch and she sat in a chair across from us. "What's going on?" Mari asked. "And how is this room safer?"

"It's one of the only rooms without security cameras, like yours Adrien" She said. "And i assume you know by now that you're demigods?"

"Wait, you know?" I asked, shocked.

"Yes, I'm a nymph that was sent by your mother to watch over you" She paused, letting the news sink in. She was always good at knowing when that was "Now, Adrien. You are one of the rare occasions where you have 2 mothers, Aphrodite and Emilie.

"Wait...I have 2 mothers?" I yelled. Natalie just stayed calm and nodded before continuing.

"Its hard to explain and even i don't know exactly how it works. When Emilie left, your father had gone on a rampage looking for her. At the time, you were 10 and living in the Encino~Tarzana area. When you were 12, we moved to Paris. He was stable for a few years, being as stone-cold as always. Then, 3 years later, he started to become how he was during the rampage." She sighed. "We must find your mother, before he locates her"

"Ok, where do we go?" Mari asked in all seriousness. I couldn't comprehend anything.

"Adrien, i know this is a lot to take in" Damn right it is! Natalie continued. "But you must trust me when i say your father will be back any minute."

I breathed in and out a few times. "Ok, i want my mom back. How do we find her?"

She motioned for us to stand up as she got up and went to the painting of mom. She opened it to reveal a safe. I had completely forgotten about it over the years. She then typed in the 4 digit code which i found out was 6684. It opened and Mari gasped. We heard a noise. Like...an elevator rising?

"He's coming. You must hurry." Natalie said in a panic and pushed all the stuff from the safe into a duffel bag nearby. "Open this once you get as far away from here as you can. You must leave Paris by tonight or he will find you" She then pushed us out and we ran from the mansion. On the way, Mari got a text. She was carrying the bag so i grabbed her phone out of the back pocket of her jeans. I turned it on and looked through the messages.

Ladan- Hey, just beat an Empousa, found a young demigod, waiting for a satyr to come for him. Meet us by the Louvre when you guys are finished up.

Alya- Hey guys, akuma by the tower. How do we purify it?

Mari- We're kinda busy right now

Ladan- On my way over

Alya- Thanks

I sent a message from Mari's phone.

Mari- We'll be at the Louvre in a few

We hurriedly made our way to the Louvre where we saw Eric and Kaden talking to a little kid and his mother. Just as we came up to them, Alya, Ladan, and Nino ran up from the other direction.

"Heyo, what's with the bag?" Nino asked, pointing to the bag Mari was still holding.

"Umm, is there anywhere safer? We have to open it as far away from the Agreste mansion as possible" I said.

Eric and Ladan looked at each other and answered at the same time "Fu's Place"
