Wrath of Justice

Dark Reaper

Adrien comes to the house to speak up against his father but first, he needs to see Nathalie since she listens more than him.

"Hey Nathalie, can I talk with you for a moment?" Adrien asked.

"Is this about the incident with her?" Nathalie guessed.

"Yes and no," Adrien said.

"Then what is it?" She asked.

"It's about Lila a.k.a Cerise. Did father have any idea she was a fraud?" Adrien asked.

"No, he didn't," Nathalie said.

"He knew she was a liar, didn't he? He would always say everyone is a bad influence except her. And yet he trusted her to model with me without knowing how I was uncomfortable around her" Adrien said, feeling angry that his father always goes against his decisions and feelings.

"I'm just as astonished as you Adrien" Nathalie said.

"So you did know and never did a thing to convince him how much damage she's causing? Nathalie, my father barely spends time with me nor understands what I like or don't like but you do" Adrien said, feeling upset she did nothing.

"I really wish I acted sooner" Nathalie replied.

"Me too. I thought Lila was looking for attention but instead, she was more than a liar. And my father, he did hire her to not only model at the brand but also to spy on me? Yeah, I know everything by what Cerise said at the police station. Not only was she targeting my girlfriend to get her akumatized but also to keep me away from my friends that my father wanted" Adrien said, aware that his father was listening outside the room.

"Your father always thinks of what's best for you but you have every right to make your own decisions, not by his pace. I'm sorry you had to see what Lila truly is. Especially that day she got me and your bodyguard in trouble for letting you in the mansion with her" Nathalie apologized.

"I forgive you, Nathalie," Adrien said.

"But you're also right, it's not up to your father to decide on your life. You have to blossom at your own pace, not by his pace" Nathalie said.

"Thank you, Nathalie" Adrien hugs her.

Outside, Gabriel can't believe his son wants to disobey his orders, "This can't be" He thought.

Adrien came out the door only to be stopped by Gabriel, until glaring at him for getting blamed for everything which isn't his blame but his father's.

"This got to stop, Father! You hired a con artist to spy on me and it got worse with her manipulating everyone, including even you and me!" Adrien said.

"I am your father and I decide what's best for you" Gabriel refused to admit he was to blame for this.

"Stop saying you're my father because you only say that to satisfy yourself. Honestly, you're a terrible father who doesn't seem to let me grow up" Adrien said before heading downstairs, ignoring the tingling in his body like it's making him be forced to obey but he fought it off.

"Stubborn as always," Adrien thought sourly, going out to clear his head.

His father ordered him to come back here but Adrien fought it off since he can't trust his father anymore. He's not the blame if his brand was ruined because of a con model he chose without second thoughts. At the same time, he just hoped that Marinette wouldn't get akumatized again.

"Kid, are you yourself? You never go against him. Who are you and what have you done to my kitten?" Plagg asked.

"Let's say I've grown up to my own man, Plagg," Adrien said.
