Broken Vow (Unknown Return)

24: Deception

Marinette's breath grew louder and louder, she never realized how far she had gone to get away from her home.

However as she drew closer she realized what a mess she had created. Her heart pounded with every step as she got closer to home. Suddenly someone was screaming in her ear, Hawkmoth.
She had completely forgotten she was still under his control.
Lady Misfortune held her head in pain.
"Enough!" She screamed out.
"Haha...silly girl. You can't rid of me that easily. Not when I have control over you!"
Lady Misfortune watched in shock as her arms and legs seemed to take on a life of their own.
"No! I won't! Hawkmoth you will never win!"
"Oh but dear. I already have! Hahaha!" Lady Misfortune screamed with all her might hoping by some miracle her dear partner would hear her but to no avail.
No cat was in sight.
This was it. Hawkmoth was finally going to get one of their miraculous's. And all because of her...

Meanwhile Cat Noir continued to search for Lady Misfortune but he couldn't find her. His eyes looked around the Eiffel Tower sadly. "Where are you? My lady..."

Lady Misfortune struggled to somehow get out of the supernatural grip. "Let me go!"
She continued to fight until her muscles ached. Misfortune tirelessly tried one last time to hang onto a ledge of a building but her strength was gone.

However Misfortune soon began to wonder. 'Will he take me to his lair or some other place?' Her questions were short lived when she realized where she was.

The agreste mansion.

Instead of trying to fight again she let her controlled body lead her to an office. On the wall behind the large chair was a picture of a beautiful woman. 'That's...Adrien's mother. But wait that could only mean.'
No it couldn't be, she wouldn't believe it.
She got onto the elevator praying that this wasn't true. It was all a dream. But her thought of pure horror was correct. There, standing in the middle of a large room surrounded by white moths was Hawkmoth.

"Dark wings fall."

She watched as Hawkmoth transformed back into the renowned famous Gabriel Agreste. "Surprise!" He said with a large Cheshire grin before returning to his normal facial expression.

"N-No. This isn't possible. No it's not! I refuse to believe it! Mr. agreste may be a bit rough around the edges but he wouldn't result to becoming a super villain! No this isn't possible!"
"Well start believing dear. Yes it's the one and only Gabriel Agreste! The civilian form of the great super villain Hawkmoth!"

Misfortune began to piece together what she could based on her information. Gabriel was already turning cold before the miraculous, after he had managed to get it he resulted to use it for evil because of the heartbreak his wife caused when she left.
And when Adrien called his father and Gabriel told him he was busy, it was a lie to cover up the fact he came into this hidden room to create new villains.
She couldn't believe her idol, the famous designer Gabriel Agreste was the villain who started it all.

However the girl  could now see the effect of heartbreak. She merely turned into a villain but Gabriel took a much harder blow and instead of trying to fix it using good he turned to evil.
Misfortune tried to make the situation better by trying to heal her friendship with Adrien. She and Gabriel were both victims of heartbreak except Misfortune had hope while Gabriel was clouded by revenge and sadness.
Still, no matter how hard his backstory was, Misfortune refused to tell him that tiny information about her seeing his wife and the little gem with an old family photo.

'She asked me to finish what she started and to make her family whole again. I can't take back a promise. Don't worry Ms. Emilie I will save your son and your husband and all of Paris. I swear!'
