Authors note: Ladybug and Cat Noir's battle against the evil Hawk Moth has been fought all over Paris and no matter how hard he tries…Hawk Moth just can't get his hands on the Miraculous of those two heroes. However in the coming final battle it would seem Cat Noir and Ladybug may have finally reached the end of their rope, neither truly anticipating just how powerful he is…or…who he really is. I'm not sure this really counts as anything near spoiler worth but for those who have not figured out who Hawk Mothis…might want to turn away, if I am wrong…well then it is a fan perspective if anything. This first chapter will take place close to the end and the rest of the chapters will work up to this point. Season two has yet to release so there will still be plenty of time till this encounter, however, I thought I'd work ahead and due to the violence and sensuality reader discretion is advised.

Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir

Reveal or Die

CH.1: Encounter

"Ladybug!" Adrien aka Cat Noir yelled out as he saw what was happening. He was bound by the butterflies that flew around the room and no matter how hard he tried or strained himself…they wouldn't budge. The mad fluttering of wings around the room made it impossible to see…but he knew well enough what was happening. Her screams and the look of terror on her face settled deep in the pit of his stomach.

"How can you watch what is happening…how can you let it go this far Cat Noir?" The voice was sadistic and cruel and it made his fingers pull into his palm tightening in a vice like grip.

"Stop it…you are killing her!" Adrien saw her flying about the room crashing into the wall and thrown into objects. Blood was trailing from her mouth and her nose…her body no doubt wracked with such intense pain she'd black out before long.

"You know how to stop this…so…why don't you? Give me your Miraculous and I will spare her life. I grow tired of waiting…I grow tired of these battles where there is only one victor, and that is you two. I will only ask a few more times and then we shall see how your Ladybug does either unconscious…or worse!"

Adrien grounded his teeth as he refused to give in…he knew Ladybug wouldn't want him doing something like this, plus, Hawk Moth could not be given the two Miraculous…with these two powerful items he would be unstoppable. Still…watching as her body tumbled about the ground gripped by that force of his…it made him sick and he was in no condition to fight back.

His leg, suffice to say could still hold him up…but not without the concentration he afforded into it; due to it being broken. Each time he yelled he could feel his lungs strain and he could barely see out of one eye. This fight was long coming between them and Hawk Moth…it just never dawned on him they'd be fighting here in his own home. What was the deal with that anyway…and why had it come to this?

"Don't give him your Miraculous Cat Noir…be strong…I'll be finnnnnne!" She yelled out and he began to cry. The love of his life was being battered about and he could stop it…and still…stepping in would mean revealing himself to her. All this time his secret had been kept every time he had to change back. She had yet to reveal herself to…the two of them agreeing it was for the better. Still they had broken one of the rules before they had got here, was it wise, perhaps not…but the two of them had learned one could not go into this alone.

"Stop it!" Adrien had enough, his will was slowly being worked over and that is when he dropped her right on the table. Her body was broken as she lay there hand outstretched…her eyes focused on him as it seemed she had no more tears to cry.

"Cat Noir…you can't…please…" Adrien felt the resistance behind him cease and his leg collapsed from under him as he lay with a thud.

"M'lady…it is time for your handsome suitor…to reveal his true identity. I realize it might come as a shock…but…as you can see…I am out of choices. I want you to know…I love you Ladybug…forgive me…Plagg." He says the last part quietly and as he reaches for his ring he keeps eye contact with Hawkmoth as he hovers there.

"Yes…do it…do not make me hurt your friend again!" His voice, all along he had probably only heard it once before but it was becoming quite clear.

"I know your voice…don't I?" Adrien felt the ring slipping off and his power began to slowly seep back into the ring. He still had a little bit of time till he transformed back on his own…but he could not risk it with Ladybug the way she was.

"You reveal your identity…and I will reveal mine, fair trade?" Adrien pulled off his ring in one fell swoop and as his disguise disappeared he could read the surprise in Ladybug's face.

"Well…guess the cat is out of the bag now…" He holds his chest as he manages to place a hand down in time before he does a face plant.

"A-Adrien…n-no way…all this time-?" Adrien laughs lightly as he does his best to shake off the surprise.

"I imagine you were expecting someone else…I don't blame you if you do. The famous model of Paris, son of Gabriel Agreste. I mean who would think that someone like me could cut it as a Superhero, suffice to say…if you are wondering that…so was I. Still…truth be told I have no regrets, the adventures that I was able to share with you were some of the best highlights of my lonely life. And…there is more…Ladybug I love you!"

"How sweet…but as you can imagine her stunned disbelief is overriding her broken mind about now. Now…as it is only fair to…I will reveal my identity to you!"

Adrien looked at his ring then over at Hawk Moth as he went to pull back his mask. And that is when it hit him. "No, that can't be…and yet…how am I not surprised?"

The face of evil, the voice of despair…it was none other than his father! Adrien felt so many emotions welling up inside…but that was nothing compared to the darkness before him and as he began to fall down his thoughts went back to how he had got here.

Authors note: I'm not sure again if this will come to pass on the show so again it could be just a fan perspective. Still with Adrien having revealed himself to the love of his life and for Hawk Moth to finally reveal who he is…suffice to say Ladybug and Adrien/Cat Noir are hardly out of the woods yet. So let us go back to the beginning, or more like how this all came about.
