Hunted

Chapter 32 - Escape / A Change Of Heart

Marinette gasped when the hand was removed from her mouth. She glared at the woman who smiled back. 

"Take her now." She said. The agents took Marinette's arms and she struggled then she glanced over and saw an agent leaning against the wall and watching her. She could tell it was Felix by his stance. She signaled with her head to him and he stealthily followed behind. They entered a room with a bunch of chambers. Marinette gasped when she saw Adrien laying on one of the platforms attached to a bunch of instruments and tubes. He looked like he was sweating and would occasionally moan. 

"Adrien!" She yelled and he forced his eyes open and turned his head. His heart dropped when he saw Marinette being dragged forward. 

"M-mmari..." He said weakly then his head fell again. 

"What are you doing to him?! Stop it!" She said with tears running down her face. Then she was forced onto a platform and secured. The agents left the room and It was just her and Adrien. 

"Oh Adrien... they can't do this to you." She said hoping he could hear. "Can you hear me? Please Adrien." She said. He forced his eyes open again and tried to turn his head. 

"Mari get out of here." He said weakly and began to moan. 

"Adrien you're gonna be okay I'll help you." She said. A man in a lab coat entered and approached Marinette. "Are you my next test subject?" He said with a grin. 

"No!" She said with a scowl. "I guess I'll just have to find out." He said pushing her head back. "Do it." He said to his assistant. They drew her blood and then he finally let her go. Adrien was watching with boiling rage. 

"Fine you have a sample now let me go!" She yelled. The man left the room paying no attention leaving only a single agent in the room who happened to be Felix. He took careful note of the security and deactivated the cameras he rushed over to Marinette and unlocked the restraints. They both approached Adrien and Marinette took his hand. Felix removed all of the machinery and unlocked the restraints. Once Adrien was free, he ripped out the needles and ruffled his hair. He was in a hospital like gown and needed to find his suit. 

"Felix, do you know where they took my suit?" Adrien asked immediately recognizing his twin brother. 

"Yes, I saw, now let's get out of here." He said. Adrien looked down at Marinette and pulled her close. 

"I'm sorry they tried to do that to you. That wasn't right." He said. She held onto him and cried silent tears. 

"Are you gonna be okay?" She asked. 

"Yeah, I think so." He said. Adrien was tough and could make it through almost anything. "I should be asking if you are okay though, you look pale." He said with worry. 

"I'm just tired and I just got a little too nervous for..." Her voice trailed off and she passed out. 

"Marinette!" Adrien said with worry. Felix picked her up, 

"Come on Adrien we've got to get out of here." He said. They both jumped into an air vent right as the man came back in. 

"Where did they go?!" He yelled and then ran to an intercom. 

"the prisoners have escaped I want full lockdown." He said. The whole place began to flash red and Felix and Adrien jumped into a room with agent uniforms. 

"Just like old times huh?" Adrien said. Felix grinned. Adrien got into a uniform and then Felix looked around. 

"What are we gonna do with Marinette?" He asked. "Here I got this." Adrien said. Felix placed her on the ground and Adrien listened for her breathing. It seemed to be normal and he got ahold of her cheeks.
