{A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far, Away.... JK It's In The Same Galaxy As The Rest Of The Story}

Chloe breathed heavily as she landed on the rooftop, her hair blowing in the wind and no doubtably extremely tangled by then. The blonde smoothed her hair down as screams sounded below and laughter echoed in the air.

She then scanned the space underneath the house for any sign of an attacker. The air practically breathed along with Chloe as she grew more and more agitated. Then, she noticed movement coming from her left.

A figure gracefully floated up to the rooftop and grinned, showing off its large array of teeth. It looked vaguely humanoid but it's arms stretched like elastic and it's head bobbled on its neck, looking dangerously close to falling off.

Chloe groaned and stretched, feeling something pop before relief flooded her body. "Okay, Ugly." She taunted, "lets give this another go."

The creature screeched and lunged toward the girl, it's purple claws missing Chloe's face by a hairs breath before it pivoted and faced her once again.

Chloe laughed haughtily before flipping her hair over her shoulder. "You've gotta try harder than that, pea-brain. I'm not going to let you hurt me or my C.C."

The creatures arms stretched towards Chloe like it was trying to hug her but she quickly somersaulted out of way. She then vaulted into the air, dodged the arms once again, and punched the creature square in its face causing its entire head to fall off.

Chloe laughed as the creature pawed the air frantically, searching for its missing head. As it was occupied Chloe lashed out and dealt the killing blow. The creature's head gave a dying screech before dissolving into nothing.

Chloe promptly sat down, giving herself no time for a victory makeover. She then cleaned her short knife of the creatures purple blood and pocketed it.

Chloe then leapt to her feet and raced away, searching for her C.C.

{Present Day}

Mari gestured towards Adrien before answering Nino. "This is my C.C., Adrien. Adrien, this is one of my...acquaintances, Nino."

Nino nodded to Adrien before greeting him. "Nice to meet you, dude. So...I'm assuming somehow you can see your 'friend' now. How did it happen?" Before Adrien could answer Nino raised his hands. "Wait! Let's talk inside."

Nino disappeared inside the house and Mari started following him. Adrien hesitated, feeling unsure about entering a strangers house. Mari smiled encouragingly and gestured for him to follow her.

The living room, which was the room that you first were greeted with, looked messy but also comfortable. Food wrappers lay in random spots on a table in front of a red couch.

Nino glanced at the mess and winced. "I wasn't expecting visitors. I would've cleaned beforehand." Adrien glanced at him quizzically and Nino sighed. "Let's sit...I've got some explaining to do."

Adrien obediently sat on the couch, it's cushions squishing happily as his booty landed. Marinette sat next to him, practically holding his hand but hesitating.

Nino sat on a red recliner nearby and sighed deeply before delving into his story.

"A week ago my parents were kidnapped. Either that or they left for no reason with no sign that they were planning to leave." Mari gasped and lowered her head sadly. Adrien just sat awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"I suspect it was because of Chloe." Nino whispered.

Marinette gasped once again and shook her head in disagreement. "Chloe would never do something like that! Never!"

Nino nodded thoughtfully. "Well, not on purpose anyway." Mari's eyes widened and she squeezed Adrien's hand subconsciously.

"You mean...?" She whispered and Nino nodded. "A Sabrinae." Adrien glanced between Mari and Nino, not understanding what was going on.

Nino noticed Adrien looking lost and confused and started to explain. "A Sabrinae is similar to a Lilae in a sense. It can possess people but instead of just whispering suggestions, a Sabrinae takes control and uses your memories against you. That's probably what happened to Chloe. She's the only other I.F. that knows that I exist."

Adrien wondered why something would be hateful enough to do that to someone. "Why would they do that, though?"

Nino paused, contemplating how much he should tell Adrien. He made a quick decision and blurted out the truth.

"Hawkmoth. He can control the 'evil' creatures use them to his benefit. He wants me. Oh! He also wants Marinette so that makes you a target as well." The words came out in an awkward ramble, and Nino visibly winced. He always seemed to be a mess around others ever since his parents disappeared. 

Adrien felt sick. His reality was changing so fast that he felt as though he had no control over what happened next or what he would say. Marinette stared at him in pity and it only worsened the feeling.

An awkward silence settled between the trio. Adrien had so many unanswered questions for Nino, who seemed to be super nervous about the whole ordeal. Meanwhile Marinette was just happy to be next to Adrien. She didn't seem to notice the obvious tension between the boys, or at least if she had she was ignoring it.

"How does Hawkmoth control these creatures?" Adrien finally asked after he had composed himself.

Marinette answered his question this time. "Well," she started, clearly hesitant. "He created them. Many of them used to be humans that he now controls and gifts abilities to."

Nino nodded. "He needs consent to be able to do so. Because of that he waits patiently for someone to become troubled enough to ask for help. He won't tell them that he'll control them once he gifts them powers, of course. Or at least that's my guess. He might just need a certain emotion. I've never seen him in person sooo..."

Before Adrien could ask another question, someone frantically knocked on the front door, causing him to nearly die of a heart attack. The knocks got louder and more frequent as the seconds passed. The trio sat, silent, until Nino snapped to his senses.

Nino inhaled sharply and rushed to the door, opening it. A body collapsed into the room, it's arms splayed out across the floor. Nino cried out in alarm and dragged the body inside as Adrien sprang forward and shut the front door, locking it behind him. Marinette helped Nino lift the body onto the couch as Adrien situated pillows around its head.

Nino took his hat off and ran his hands through his hair nervously. Mari stared at the body, confused. "Who is he?" She asked, clearly rattled.

"His name is Nathaniel."

BOOM!

Tomato head and Chloe have entered the scene! Woot. Phew, this took me longer than it should have.

What do you think of this AU? Should I continue it?
