Ladybug and Cat Noir tried searching for Hawk Moth all morning but nothing. They regrouped with Argos and Kagami and they both could not find him either.

"Nothing" Cat Noir hands them all sandwiches to have a break, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have healed him long ago but I had to reveal the truth to Paris and my mother for what he has done" He munched on his sandwich.

"Rather than letting secrets fall into the grave," Ladybug said.

"Death, the truth dies with it" Argos munched on his meal.

"Alive, you're free," Ryuko said.

"Yep. I just can't believe my father would go so far as to akumatize my daughter" Cat Noir said.

"He's a menace, Adrien. He's not your father anymore. He's not even a man himself" Ryuko said.

"He's merely a monster" Cat Noir drank his milk.

"What he did to our daughter was unforgivable. Adrien and I hate akumas because Hawk Moth likes to take advantage of everyone's feelings" Ladybug said.

"Just like he did to me by lying so I wouldn't find out what he's hiding," Cat Noir said, sinking his fangs in an apple to suck the juice.

"And now everyone knows," Ryuko said.

"You know, I'm also worried about my little Inu-ka. She loves dogs just as I do. I was wondering if she could be a temporary dog holder" Argos asked Ladybug.

"I don't know, Felix. She's still young and less experienced" Ladybug said.

"She's not exactly defenseless you know," Argos said.

"I'll think about it. Remember, I still hold a little grudge when you were a bad puppy years ago" Ladybug crossed her arms and turned around.

"I understand. And what about your daughter?" Argos asked.

"It's too risky, I can't allow my only daughter to turn into a akuma again," Ladybug said.

"Anyways, let's head back to the mansion. My bodyguard will be arriving with my sons from school" Cat Noir said.

"Okay Kitty" Ladybug got up with the others.

"Hold on tight my dragon queen" Argos grabs Ryuko and flew.

As they came to the mansion, they all detransformed and fed their kwami. Marinette goes to the safe that used to be Nathalie's and takes out the dog miraculous choker.

"If anything.....ANYTHING...." Marinette raised her voice at Felix, "Happens to Barkk again, you hand over the brooch. I dealt with my old traumas, especially from what you did to me! I don't want to go through that stage again" She hands him the dog miraculous to keep it safe, "For emergencies only"

"Okay, got it. She'll be a good puppy" Felix said.

"As long as she's not chewing on anyone," Marinette said sarcastically.

"She does have a good bite" Felix teased.

"Give her a biscuit as a reward then," Adrien said.

"She goes crazy with her only favorite dog food. Crumpets" Felix chuckled.

"Oh, yes" Adrien replied.

"Anyways, I'm gonna check on her. In the meantime" Felix hands a bag of donation blood to him, "Don't go frenzy again. Last time you went like hell for it"

"Yeah, and you had to give your blood" Adrien takes it.

"I had to save your undead ass," Felix said.

"And you did," Adrien said.

Hugo and Louis sat in their room playing video games.

"No, no, no!" Louis playing as Ladybug tried to beat his brother that's playing as Anti-Bug.

"Gotcha Bro!" Hugo laughed.

"No fair! Anti-Bug is the worst!" Louis complained but soon had Ladybug dominate Anti-Bug.

"Aw, you got me again!" Hugo exclaims.

Emma was simply thinking about that Italian boy. She finished her homework and thought of a way to get to know him more. She hopes that her father doesn't get too upset because her friend told her that his mother is someone that no one should know about.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that, Lorenzo" Emma said to herself.

She laid on her bed to think, "If I was in my dad's shoes, I'd be talking to him as a different person" She thought.

"Hey kittens" Adrien walks into the room.

"Hey Daddy" Emma greeted him.

"I came to make sure you're okay, kitten," Adrien said.

"I'm alright Dad, really, I'm fine" Emma assured him.

"Puuuuurrrrrrrr" Adrien purred in comfort.

"Daddy" Emma giggled.

"My kitten. I can't believe you're growing up so fast" Adrien said.

"Thanks, Daddy. I always wanted to be like you but I still need more growing up to do to be the new cat" Emma said.

"I'm sure you'll be a good cat heroine," Adrien said.

"I may be a cheese lover but I do love you, my kitten," Plagg said.

"Thanks, Plagg" Emma smiled.

"I'm not saying you're defenseless, I'm saying that I just want you to be careful," Adrien said.

"I know, Grandpa won't get me again," Emma said.

"He won't ever, I promise," Adrien said, "Even if I'm undead....again. I'm still me" He added.

"You're still my Daddy Noir," Emma said.

Later that night, Bat Noir went back to the catacombs to find her again. As he got there, it was just his father, looking like the devil healed his arm. Probably sold his soul to Satan which was not a good idea.

"So we meet again, Gabi" Bat Noir said.

"You are a disgrace to the family, son. All I ever wanted was to be a family again. Your mother was the only happiness you had as a kid" Hawk Moth said.

"You blew your chance with your obsession! It was never about my mother, it was all about you!" Bat Noir glared, "I may have mourned my mother but I moved on. I convinced Nathalie to let me go to school to socialize and meet kids my age. You abandoned your title as my father when Mom fell into a coma" Bat Noir said.

"All to wish her back!" Hawk Moth clenched his fist.

"But at what cost?! Me?!" Bat Noir replied.

"Sacrifices must be made. I would pick anyone to take her place" Hawk Moth said.

Bat Noir pinned him against the catacomb wall filled with dead skulls, "YOU'RE INSANE!" He snarled, "Mom never asked nor does want anyone's life taken away! She would be angry at you if someone took her place! That's not out of love! It's out of madness!"

"I loved her more than anything!" Hawk Moth pushed him off.

"No, Mother was never enough for you. You choose your miraculous obsession over everything" Bat Noir pinned him again, "In all my life, I never had a good childhood life. Until I did find that someone I loved, without a wish. But you go to great lengths trying to separate her from me. Especially akumatizing my friend Kagami into Riposte Prime to ruin my date with Marinette. You call this what's best for me?"

"She's not worthy of your love! I OWN YOU!" Hawk Moth yelled in madness.

"I belong to NO ONE!!!" Bat Noir punched him in the face, "I'm 30 years old, father! I am not your puppet anymore! Everything you did to me was never love! You were not trying to protect me like you always think you are! You wanted nothing more than to keep me locked away like an animal to be looked at and admired, but never loved! The only reason why you tried to send me to London was never about going to a private school, it was to separate me from Marinette! To break our hearts!" Bat Noir clawed his face multiple times.

With a mighty yell, he threw his father to the floor and punched him in the stomach.

"Goddamn it, Adrien!" Hawk Moth weakly stands up.

"How about a memory refresh of what you did that day at the wax museum? CATACLYSM!" Bat Noir grabbed his father's left arm to touch it, the same exact spot that hurt him badly but it only left a deep black handprint scar through the skin.

"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!" Hawk Moth screamed.

"How does it feel?! Causing your own child to slowly kill yourself?!" Bat Noir hissed.

Hawk Moth kicked him off and detransformed to see that the black handprint cataclysm scar is on the exact same spot, "You dare do that?!" He groaned.

"That is your punishment for akumatizing my daughter!" Bat Noir yelled.

"You're insane, Father! Taking advantage of people's vulnerable feelings is very wrong! Just like you tried to do with mine! I know you weren't trying to comfort me by giving me an alliance ring, you were only trying to akumatize me! I got lucky that I ran back to Marinette" Bat Noir growled at him as Gabriel stood up clutching his arm.

"You made a big mistake dealing with Lila! You two have done enough!" Bat Noir circled, "Nooro told me everything. Everything you did was just beyond evil. Like shutting his mouth, literally. You never listen to anyone but yourself. I tried so hard! So fucking hard! Hoping that I was good enough but you only care about power and greed! Why do you think I fell in love with Marinette?"

"She's a bad influence on you! I tried to bond you with Kagami for your happiness!" Gabriel said.

"You really are a hopeless fool! For the last time Kagami and I didn't work out!" Bat Noir then punched him again, knocking a tooth out, "You can't control people's decisions, father! You only take things way too far! Like I said, your ego is way too big. My mother loves this new family and my kittens love her too. Kindness and evil don't work out. My mother despised you for what you have done. You can't force her to love you back! She's moved on" Bat Noir tossed the jewelry that his father gave to her long ago, "My daughter is very special. She's nothing like you. She's kind, strong-headed, beautiful, and brave. Something that you can't fucking see" He left the catacombs.

The next day, Emma was doing photoshoots at the Eiffel Tower for the beauty makeup ads that her mother designed.

"Excellent job, Miss Agreste," The photographer said.

"Merci," Emma said.

"Now another pose," They told her.

Emma posed as if she was flirting, blowing a kiss to look beautiful.

"Excellent Emma" They clicked several pictures.

Marinette smiled nearby seeing her daughter pose. As a fashion designer, her daughter was just too perfect to be a model like her father, "That's my girl" Marinette said.

"Thank you very much, Miss Agreste. The photos will be delivered to check them out" The photographer said.

"Thank you" Emma then goes up to her mother.

"My little ladybug. You are so much like your father" Marinette smiled.

"Thanks, Mom" Emma replied.

"Now let's go home. Sayuri is waiting for you" Marinette said.

"Okay then" Emma got into the elevator of the Eiffel Tower with Marinette.
