Part 5: Rules You Break

Chat jumped through his window landing on his couch. He de-transformed and sighed. 
"Plagg, no matter how many people me and the team help, I still feel like a failure for letting Hawkmoth take over." he frowned hands on his face. "Dad isn't even talking to me, in fact I haven't even seen him in days."

Plagg looked at Adrien and shrugged.

"Adrien, why even stay here? You're miserable anyways, just run." 

Adrien smiled and shook his head. 

"I can't leave my dad alone. He needs someone."

Plagg sat on Adrien's head. 

"Okay, okay." Plagg said, ears drooping. "Anyways, school starts in 15, and your uniform is here." 

"Wow Plagg. Wanting to go to school?" 

"Whatever. Here you go." 

Adrien put on the black suit jacket, with a pale purple top underneath. Long dark purple pants and black shoes. the shirt and jacket had the small butterfly in white on the top left. Adrien did finger guns at his reflection, then laughed with Plagg at how dumb he looked.

He reached to grab her, but Carapace jumped out of nowhere and smacked back the boy's hand. 
"She isn't Ladybug, monster. Back off." Carapace growled, an arm in front of Juleka. The Apprentice grinned. 
"Only messing with the dork." he smirked. Carapace lead Rose and Juleka inside and then leapt away, glaring at the guard. 

Adrien looked at the boy with his huge wings and purple armour. He had heard his voice. He gawked at the familiar green eyes, and suddenly it was clear. 

"Felix?!" Adrien gasped under his breath. 

Felix shot a look at Adrien. 
"Tsk, tsk. Late for class Adrien. The rules you break." 

He pulled out a purple cane and...
