My True Love

*3rd Person*

"Where did you find her?" Adrien asked. His voice was low and had no emotion to it but his face showed that he was on the verge of tears, his body starting to shake.

"Tim found her in Hawkmoth's lair," Marinette said softly to him. Tears also starting to form from her eyes.

Adrien closed his eyes and his tears started to fall down his cheek.

"So are you saying that my father is Hawkmoth?" Adrien asked, the words leaving his mouth like a whisper.

"Yes, I thought it would be better if you knew right away. I didn't want to keep this from you. I knew how much your mother meant to you," Marinette said to him.

Adrien turned to her and hugged her, finally letting go of his emotions and breaking down crying. Marinette hugged him back and started to cry with him, but much more silently than Adrien.

"Thank you," was all Adrien could say to her.

After Adrien calmed down a bit he let go of her and looked around. He spotted Jon talking to Damian and walked over to him, which Jon immediately embraced him with a hug. Adrien started to cry again.

Once Adrien, fully calmed down he and Jon walked over to where the video was played.

"My father won't get away with this. My mother doesn't deserve to be down there. I don't even know if she is alive or dead but she needs to be brought out of that place. What Gabriel has been doing has been going on for far too long," Adrien said, sniffling at the end. He was angry at his father.

"We will get her back," Marinette said to him, grabbing his hand.

"Master Damian, I brought some hot chocolate for Mr. Agreste, to make him feel better," Alfred said, walking up to them.

"Thank you, Alfred," Adrien said, looking in his direction.

Alfred then walked over to him and placed the mug in front of him.

"I took the liberty of adding extra marshmallows," Alfred said, giving the boy a reassuring smile.

Adrien gave him a small smile in return and picked up the mug carefully since his hands were still a bit shaky.

After a while, one by one, everyone came down to the Batcave, getting ready for tonight's patrol.

Dick and Jason were at the computer discussing where they would bust certain places that night, they stopped talking when they saw a big red bat symbol flashing on the screen.

"Now Stephanie, do you really expect me to believe that you would come here to apologize when I should be the one apologizing to you," Tim's voice now playing on the speakers.

"Is that Tim's voice?" Dick asked.

"What the fuck is this shit?" Jason asked, slightly disgusted, slightly intrigued.

"It's his silent alarm that went off, along with his new feature that he added so we can listen in to conversations if we can't directly say what is happening," Bruce said as he walked up to the computer, taking a seat at the chair.

"He must have accidentally turned it on. Gross. I don't want to hear him and Brown flirting. Turn it off," Damian said.

"An apology? You want to apologize to me?" Stephanie's voice said through the speakers.

"Hold up. Is Tim going to apologize to her? Keep playing it," Jason said, fully intrigued now.

"Yes, it was my fault you know. Always working late hours. But did you really have to leave me for two whole months?" Tim asked her.
