Chapter Three- The Truth Of A Lie

Adrien was sitting in the back seat of his personal Limo looking out the window when he heard his phone ding. He turned on his notifications for when Nadja Chamack had started live streams so he knew if and or when someone was Akumatized.   


"Don't be bemused, it's just the news. We just received an update from the Ladyblog that Adrien Agreste, son of Gabriel Agreste is in a relationship with our favorite superhero, Ladybug." Adrien's eyes widened and he quickly shut off his phone. Of coarse something like this was going to happen. If he hadn't been distracted by the angel he is proud to call his girlfriend, he would've seen this coming.


"Oh no, what is my father going to think about this?" He had never been this afraid. Sure maybe fighting Hawkmoth, but when his father got mad. He. Got. Mad. And Gabriel never really liked superheros.  For a reason that Adrien never understood. He quickly jerked forward, signifying he was home, and he walked up the stairs, waiting for the storm to arrive.


--Two Minutes Earlier In Gabriel Agreste's Office--


Gabriel Agreste was in his office, standing in front of the portrait of his wife, Emilie Agreste when he heard his phone go off. He turned it on and watched the video. When he finished, he couldn't be more furious, and that's saying a lot. "Nathalie!" He called out to his executive assistant. "Yes sir?" He turned around startled a bit, where in the world did she come from?


He decided to ignore that for now, and showed her the news report, still as furious as a bull. "He has allied himself with my enemy." He said very slowly that it sent a sense of dread down Nathalie's spine. She took a quick deep breath, "This could help us sir. He may be able to lead us to Ladybug." She was trying to look at the bright of things so he would calm down. An angry Gabriel was never a good thing.


He thought about it for a second, maybe she's right. Then he got an idea. If he could get her in his house, he could learn more things about her. "You're right Nathalie, thank you." She nodded and was about to leave when he said one more thing. "When Adrien get's back, tell him to come in here." She nodded for the last time and left the room.


--Back To Present--


Adrien walked up the long flight of stairs and kept repeating the same sentence in his head. 'Please don't know. Please don't know.' He stepped inside before bolting for his room, but a familiar voice stopped him and snapped him out of his daze. "Adrien, your father wants to talk to you."


He sighed, "Thank you Nathalie." Adrien began to walk to his father's office, and he could feel Nathalie's stares on the back of his neck. He felt almost revealed when he shut the door to his father's office. All that relief immediately left his body when he heard the cold the voice of his father.  "Is it true?" He didn't even bother to look at him when he said it. He just kept facing the portrait. "Yes." He said so quiet that his father almost didn't  hear it... Almost.


"So when do I get to meet her?" Adrien's eyes widened and jaw dropped. He may have expected words, but those weren't then them. He flinched a bit when his father turned around to face him. "What?" Adrien was beyond confused. He expected his father to yell. "I would like to meet my sons girlfriend and make sure she's good association." Adrien almost scoffed, he tried not to roll his eyes.


"Well she's a superhero." Adrien didn't know why his father was so calm. What is he up to? "Yes, but do you know who the girl is under the mask?" Adrien's eyes narrowed, why did he want to know? What is going on? All these question were going through his mind. "No, but I know under the mask she's an amazing person." He kind of wanted to say he did know just to see his father's reaction. He knew that was a bad idea. He could tell his father wanted to know who both Ladybug and Cat Noir, so that was out of the question anyway. 


"Good, invite her for dinner next Friday." Adrien knew there was no way out of this. so he thought maybe if he agreed, he could protect her in ways. 


"She might be busy, like I said before. She's a superhero."


"I'm sure she's a good person, but I would still like to get to know her." 


He sighed, it was always hard and frantically impossible to change his father's mind. It has only worked once, and he wasn't even the one who did it. "Okay, I'll ask her." He was about to leave when his father called his name one last time. "Adrien." 


"Yes."


"You may go spend time with her if you wish, just be back by Eight o'clock, and finish your Chinese lessons." At that moment, Adrien should have definitely known something was up, but was to happy to realize.


"Thank you father." With that he left, and called Marinette.
Marinette: Hey Adrien, what's up?
Adrien: Did you see the news report?
Marinette: No, what news report?
Adrien: The one that says Ladybug and I are dating, which is true, but now my father wants you to have dinner with us next Friday.
Marinette: What! People know, and why does he want to have dinner with me?
Adrien: He said he thinks you're a good person, but he still wants to get to know you.
Marinette: Sure, I can do that.
Adrien: Okay great. Oh, and my father is letting me stay out tonight want to hang out?
Marinette: Yeah, could you came and pick up though?
Adrien: Sure, I'm by the school, I'll be there in a minute.


He hung up


(A/N By the way, Tom and Sabine both know they are dating, but they don't Marinette is Ladybug)


Adrien walks in to see Marinette's parents looking at him, with a big smile on their faces. He then sees Marinette walk down through the door. Her hair was down, and Adrien was wondering if he was drooling. He looked at the TV and saw the report about him and Ladybug and gave Marinette a look.


She quickly went to turn it off, then walked over to her boyfriend. "Ready to go Adrien?" He smiled and put his arm around her, which made her blush a bit.
