I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving! And with this, I deem a little problem done!

As soon as the butterfly was caught in the yo-yo, the butterfly hero froze, quickly realizing that he was out here, with Ladybug, dressed as a butterfly who she was fighting. He shuffled his feet, nervous and excited, watching her turn to him, the black spots over her eyes going up with her furrowed brow.

With a nervous but eager smile, Adrien waved.

Ladybug ran for him, easily jumping up and landing next to him, looking over him cautiously. She asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm..." he trailed, quickly trying to think of a really cool butterfly name that would suit his style, for Adrien Agreste was both pretty and amazing and as a hero, he should have a cool fitting name. He brightened when he thought of the perfect one that suited him.

"I'm the butterfly hero, Monarch!"

"Monarch," she repeated.

He nodded, beaming. He quickly told her, "I'm here to help you, Ladybug. I'm not your enemy." Before she could speak or even bring up Hawkmoth, he ordered, "Wings fall."

His transformation fell away, leaving Adrien Agreste with a little butterfly kwami floating over him.

Ladybug's jaw dropped, gaping at him.

"Here!" Adrien hurried out, presenting the peacock miraculous and taking off the butterfly miraculous too, offering both to her. "You can have these back."

Ladybug took them slowly, looking at them with wide eyes. "These... these were lost," she murmured.

"More like stolen," Adrien huffed, thinking back to his father. He could see him having stolen the two miraculouses. Nooroo sat on his shoulder, wings tickling his cheek.

"What is going on?" Ladybug demanded. "Why do you have these? What is..."

Adrien rubbed the back of his neck. "Those are kind of why I'm here, I know who Hawkmoth is. I want him stopped, to help stop him, even if it's just revealing him."

She stared at him, alarmed. "You know who Hawkmoth is?"

Adrien nodded stiffly. "It's my father..."

Ladybug eyed him with calculating eyes, drawing away a little to pace, laying out all the facts and considering this. "I see. How, how did you find out? How long have you known?"

"Last night," Adrien revealed, "I caught him eating a cinnamon roll. As a... kwami?" Adrien pointed to Nooroo, and the kwami waved to Ladybug.

Ladybug nodded, unable to stop her lips quirking up into an amused smile. "I did hear from my kwami that's what happens when someone misuses a miraculous, they have the power, but stuck as a kwami." Considering the two miraculouses in her hand, she offered the butterfly back.

Adrien's eyes widened, taking it back slowly.

"Wouldn't say no to help," she said. "And you can counter Hawkmoth's power transformed."

"As you wish, My Lady," Adrien answered, clipping the brooch back on. He blinked when her face when redder than her suit.

"L-let's not get ahead of ourselves, o-ok Handsome Boy?" Adrien's face went redder than her suit, not helping Ladybug's flustered state at all. She hurried out, "I'mgoingtogodropthisoffberightback." She quickly zipped away, leaving a blushing Adrien alone on the roof.

Nooroo leaned forward, asking, "Adrien? Are you ok?"

"Nooroo," Adrien whispered excitedly, "she's going to be my lady and I'm going to be her king."

The kwami chuckled, "Ok, Adrien."

"We should be making a tactical retreat," Nathalie proposed, feeling very tired as Gabriel hovered in Adrien's room, arms crossed as he glared at the window, waiting for his son to return. "This is not the time to confront your son."

Knowing Adrien better, she knows he won't be coming back alone.

She doesn't expect this to be much of a climax.

"I know what I'm doing, Nathalie," Gabriel snapped, ignoring Nathalie's sigh. What he didn't ignore was his growing frustration with his son. He whipped around to Nathalie, snapping, "What is with that boy?! What is he thinking?! Going against me, his own father! When I get my hands on him, I'll—"

He never got to finish. A yo-yo snagged him and pulled the yelping kwami right into the hand of Ladybug who stared down at him with amused sternness.

"Hello, Hawkmoth," she greeted with a mocking tone.

His son leaned over, eyeing his father as he told him, "We have to talk about."

Gabriel looked between the two, a little wide eyed before narrowing his eyes and boasting, "Foolish Ladybug, you've fallen right into my trap! You're earrings are as good as mine!" He struggled in her hand, jerking about and trying to will himself to transform. Only nothing was happening. Why was he—

"I'd like to remind you sir, you only had enough patience to take a bite of a cinnamon roll. You don't have enough energy to transform."

"Damnit, Nathalie."

"I fail to see how this is my fault, sir."

"The rules have been explained to me by my kwami and Nooroo," Ladybug said, drawing Gabriel's attention to her. "We can't force you to serve another holder, but I do like to point out that with Adrien at my side, your power is useless."

"You lost," Adrien stated, detransforming.

Gabriel glared at him. "And you're leaving me the option of serving another holder."

"You can keep trying to be a villain," Nooroo said, "but it's a lost cause and a waste of energy for everyone."

"Very well," Gabiel huffed, turning his gaze to Ladybug. "Then I will serv—"

"Be aware," Nooroo cut in, "once you state it, the word is law and you cannot double cross the holder you serve. We kwamis will have a right to punish you if you try, and Tikki has no patience for those that try to double cross her holders. Meaning you can't lift a paw to try and take the earrings, Tikki will be on you the instant you move."

Ladybug grinned smugly. "That's my kwami," she backed.

"Fine. I'll serve my son," Gabriel snapped.

"That's what I was hoping for!" Adrien said. "Since you have to serve me however I wish, we're going to start with you learning how to be a decent father."

"What."

"I would love for you to learn how to be a good father but those standards are just too high for you. So we'll start with teaching you how to be a decent father and maybe we'll work our way up to that!"

"Nathalie!" Gabriel shouted.

"Sorry, sir, but I don't want to go against children who have superpowers."

Grinning, Adrien asked, "Will you help me, Nathalie?"

"Yes, of course, Adrien."

"Nathalie, you are fired."
