"Thank you for letting me stay here before I leave, Fu." Koena said as Adrien silently walked into the room. "And for giving me the items necessary for my travel."

"Of course." Master Fu replied. "It's the least that I could do."

"Excuse me." Adrien said after a moment, and Koena and Master Fu turned to look at him.

"Adrien." Koena greeted. "A pleasure to see you before I leave Paris."

"You… you said that you could do me a few favors?" Adrien asked.

"I'll give you two some privacy." Master Fu decided, walking out of the house. Unlike his Place of work, Fu's house was fully furnished and comfortable, carrying with it a mystical and comfortable feel.

"Yes." Koena nodded.

"Well… could I live with Marinette?"

"Of course." A knowing smile grew on her lips, her purple and red eyes gaining a mischievous look. "Anything else?"

"Umm…" Adrien paused for a moment, hesitating greatly before continuing. "When you find mother, you're going to be telling us in person, right?"

"Yes."

"How long will that take?"

"I don't know." Koena admitted honestly. "But I can assure you that you and Gabriel will still be here when she comes back."

"Right." Adrien nodded. "Do… do you think that I can change my last name to her last name?"

"Of course."

"And keep in touch." Adrien blurted out. At her slightly shocked look, he continued. "You're my friend, and I don't want to worry about you vanishing off of the face of the earth like my mother did. When you find my mother, be sure to come back and visit, okay?"

"Okay." Koena nodded. "Now before I leave, I do have something that I need you to promise me."

"What is it?"

"At least try to forgive your father." She said. "Try to mend your bond. I'd hate to see another family be torn apart, and you have the perfect chance to try again. At least take it."

"I…" Adrien swallowed nervously. "I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you." Koena moved and pulled Adrien into a hug before she pulled away. "See you later."

"See you later, Koena." Adrien replied as she walked out of the door, pulling up the hood of her worn black cloak as she disappeared into the crowd.

TEN YEARS LATER

"Grandpa!"

"Hello, Emma." Gabriel Agreste knelt down onto the floor with a groan, his hand holding onto his cane to give his granddaughter a hug. "How are you today?"

"Great!" Emma replied. "Papa and Mama said that today was a special day, but they won't tell me what!"

"Oh?" Gabriel asked the five year old. Marinette smiled as she walked over, a hand on her growing stomach as she held Adrien's hand, the two of them smiling at Gabriel and Emma.

Their little girl had her mother's black hair and her father's green eyes, with a stuffed cat in her grasp. The cat had a basketball jersey on it, as Emma had taken a recent liking to basketball after Adrien had showed her a few of his moves- specifically ones he had made up after his time as Chat Noir.

"Yes, today is a special day." Gabriel agreed, standing up to smile at Adrien and Marinette, who smiled back at him. "Why don't you come on in? The others are already here." Adrien and Marinette nodded, walking into the huge Agreste mansion.

"Yo, Adrien!" Nino greeted, giving Adrien a nudge to the shoulder as Adrien patted his shoulder. "How was your vacation?"

"It was good- a much needed break." Adrien replied.

"I see that you got a little busy." Nino admitted after seeing Marinette's stomach. "Alya's pregnant too, you know. A little girl. And you?"

"Twins- two boys, we believe." Adrien answered. "Where's Chloe?"

"Couldn't come." Nino shrugged. "She says that hers and Nathaniel's business was finally picking up and off of the ground, they can't afford any mistakes."

"I see." Adrien nodded, and he knelt down when Emma tugged on his sleeve.

"Mama said I couldn't show grandpa my basketball moves until we eat!" She complained. "When are we gonna eat~?"

"In a few minutes." Adrien answered, ruffling up her black hair.

"Can I play with Uncle Nino's tunes then?" She asked.

"Sorry little DJ." Nino sighed. "I didn't bring them with me."

"Awwwww~! That's no fun!" Emma complained. "Isn't there anything fun to do until dinner starts?"

"How about an arm wrestle?" Adrien asked. Emma instantly brightened up and nodded, and they fell to the floor and put their hands up.

"Ready?" Nino asked, rolling his eyes as he crouched down and became the untitled judge.

"Ready!" Emma exclaimed. "Kitty's gonna give me good luck!"

"On your mark…"

"You're going down, Papa." Emma said confidently.

"We'll see about that."

"Get set…

They both tensed and prepared to go.

"PIZZA!"

"Uncle Nino~!"

"Alright, alright." Nino laughed. "Go!"

Adrien played around a little bit, moving their hands from side to side to make it more exciting for his daughter. She was sticking her tongue out in concentration, and after a few minutes Adrien let her win.

"Yes!" Emma exclaimed happily, jumping up and down.

"I can't believe it." Adrien mock-groaned, but his smile was large and toothy. "Beaten by my own daughter."

"They grow up fast." Gabriel remarked, completely amused by the turn of events. Adrien was about to respond when someone knocked on the door. Gabriel frowned.

"That's weird." He stated. "Everyone who should be here is here."

"Maybe someone doorbell ditched." Adrien suggested. The knock rang out again, and Emma looked up at her grandfather curiously.

"Aren't you gonna answer it, Grandpa?" Emma asked as Adrien got off of the floor.

"Yes." Gabriel nodded and walked over to the door, opening it. Adrien couldn't see who was at the door, but he could tell by his father's reaction it was a surprise.

"You haven't changed."

"Of course not." A familiar voice replied, and Adrien rushed to the door to open it wider. "I wouldn't be able to fulfill my job if I grew old."

"Koena!" Adrien greeted once he saw her. His father was right- Koena really hadn't changed at all over the years. "You're here!"

"Of course." She smiled at him. "I had a promise to keep. Can we come in?"

Adrien and Gabriel's breath hitched as they both took in the meaning of her words, and the fact that there was another woman with her. Her hair was graying, but her eyes were a beautiful emerald green, and Hints of blonde could also be seen in her hair.

Adrien got out of his stupor first, letting go and taking a step forward.

"…Mother…?" He asked. The woman reached a hand up to her mouth in pleasant shock, tears coming into her eyes.

"Oh, Adrien…. My honey bun…" They covered the small distance between the two of them instantly, embracing each other in a hug. The movement snapped Gabriel out of his shock and he rushed over, hugging both of them tightly. Marinette, Nino, and Alya moved toward the door to look out. Tears were in their eyes at the reunion, and Emma stood beside her mother, confused.

"Who're you?" She asked, pointing at Koena. Koena smiled down at her, her eyes changing to purple and fuchsia as she knelt down.

"I'm Koena." She introduced. "And you?"

"I'm Emma!" She said happily. She looked over at her father and grandparents curiously. "What's papa doing?"

"You'll see." Koena told her, smiling. Emma just pouted.

"But-"

"Shhh." Her mother told her, crouching down. "This is very important for papa."

Adrien broke the hug apart first, wiping the tears from his eyes. "Oh my gosh, mother, I have to introduce you to Emma Marinette."

"Marinette?" She questioned. Adrien nodded and led her over to Marinette who politely held out a hand, not bothering to wipe the tears from her cheeks. Emilie took her hand and shook it, her eyes filling with tears again.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mrs. Agreste." She said. "I'm Marinette."

"And this-" Adrien reached down and picked up Emma, who laughed. "Is our daughter Emma. Emma Emilie Dupain-Cheng."

"Hello!" Emma greeted, holding her hand out a bit shyly. Emilie didn't have any words to speak, so she just gathered the three of them in one hug. Koena smiled at the sight before walking over to Gabriel.

"Where'd you find her?" Gabriel asked.

"On the temple ruins, trapped inside a particularly strong spell." Koena replied. "When Nooro told me about how only you were teleported back, as well as the book and a few scrolls, I knew that she had to have been trapped inside of one of them. It took a while to find which one, and then to help her get back to normal health."

"If I took her back here when I had first freed here she would have gone into a coma from the shock. It took a good four years to find the ruins, and then the rest was spent preparing her and getting her used to being free again." Koena shivered. "She was trapped in a particularly bad spell- I couldn't tell her how long had passed until a few weeks into her recovery."

"And… and she knows what I did?"

"Yes." Koena smiled at him. "But you should go and talk to her and ask for her forgiveness."

"I was going to do that anyway."

"I figured." Koena turned to walk away, but Gabriel placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Why don't you stay? At least for dinner." He smiled wryly. "It is the celebration of the defeat of Hawkmoth after all."

Koena studied him, her red and purple eyes traveling from his towards the others. She seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, waring with herself.

"Just this once." She finally said. "There is nothing urgent that I need to do." Gabriel patted Koena on her shoulder in approval, and she stared at him out of the corner of her eye.

"How are you feeling about the last term of agreement?" Koena asked. "It'll be coming up in a year or two."

"I certainly don't feel ready for it." Gabriel admitted. "But I will do whatever I can to fulfill our promise. I am a man of my word, after all, and I wish to right my wrongs." Koena nodded in approval, and then walked over to their family.

"I hate to interrupt the touching moment, but we should probably go inside." She said.

"Oh, yes, of course!" Adrien said happily, leading his mother inside. "Dinner is probably ready by now!"

"What is it?" Emilie asked curiously.

"Our favorite." Adrien admitted. "Come on! I'm sure we can get the chef to set out a few more plates!"

"Of course we can." Gabriel said, smiling at Adrien. "I'll go and tell him."

Koena entered the house last, watching as they all conversed with each other and grew closer and closer together

'I'll miss them.' She thought fondly.

'Remember, we promised to keep in touch with Adrien.' Light reminded her.

'Yes, I'm sure that we'll come back here soon.'

'I still can't believe that you let that lowlife have a second chance.' Dark grumbled. 'He deserves worse than what he got.'

'He chose his punishment.' Koena replied. 'He knows what is going to happen, and he won't waste money trying to fix it either.'

'It's definitely better than jail time.' Light put out happily. 'I just wish that it didn't have to happen so soon…'

'If it didn't happen, then the universe will use other means to right it.' Koena replied. 'You know this. This is the happiest ending that he could have gotten with his life choices.'

'Yeah…' Light sighed dreamily, but didn't continue her thought. Koena rolled her eyes as she continued to watch them from where she stood.

This, she knew, was a truly happy ending.
