*3rd Person*

It had been almost four days since the attack that Hawkmoth made against Tim, who has now safely returned to Gotham. His attack had made the news, he was staying at the Manor, not leaving so that he could avoid the press. Adrien and Jon had also become official within the number of days, despite Adrien's father being against their relationship, Adrien has even started posting pictures of them together on his social media. The pictures posted were always of Jon's face covered so that Adrien's big following won't overwhelm him and start chasing him like they did a few times with Adrien back in Paris. They spent most of their time with Marinette and Damian at the Manor with the others in the Miraculous group, all plotting ways to get Damian and Marinette to confess their feelings, so far nothing has worked, or so they thought.

That afternoon, it had been a "double date", one of the plans that they had come up with to get their ship to sail. They had all been at the Manor, watching a movie inside their movie theater room. Things were going well until Adrien got a phone call from Mr. Agreste. Adrien had walked out to talk to his father. Jon had gone to see him after he heard his heartbeat speeding up from Adrien's anger.

"No. Absolutely not. I'm not letting you get in danger. What if he hurts you!" Jon said to Adrien.

"But it's my choice, it could be the only way to figure out what he is planning!"

Adrien had told Jon that his father wants him to go back early because of his posts. His father didn't like how Gotham has 'influenced' him. He didn't understand since posting online about his relationship, he had been getting a lot of positive responses. He had tried to convince his father to let him stay. At first, Adrien didn't want to return but then saw it as an opportunity since he knew there was no way in changing his father's mind and agreed to leave in a few hours after he finished packing.

"What is going on?" Bruce said, walking out.

Damian and Marinette, right behind him. They heard the yelling and rushed out.

"He wants to go back to Paris with his father. His father is making him and Adrien wants to go find out what his father is planning. His father is already angry with him, who knows what he might do to him when he gets there. Adrien, you already told me that he locked you up in your room before, not letting you go outside and not having you're phone to communicate with people. What if he does something worse? You hardly get to eat in Paris, here you can eat all you want," Jon said, trying to plea with him.

"He is sending someone to pick me up in two hours. What can I do? The only thing is going back to Paris and figuring out what he is planning. I can figure out why he was trying to kidnap Tim, or if he knows you guys are involved in any way," Adrien said.

"Bruce, is there any legal way he can stay?" Jon asked, turning his head to Bruce for his help.

Bruce thought about it for a moment.

"He is legally your parent and can have you sent back if he pays for the plane ticket back since parents signed the permission slips that had all the information about the trip," Bruce said, walking up to Adrien.

"He has his own private plane..." Adrien whispered.

"And Jon mentions that you hardly get to eat in Paris?" Bruce questioned.

"I'm a model. I have to be on a strict diet and have to maintain a certain weight. I used to do things to myself to help me maintain that weight because I was afraid to get scolded. I hardly ever see him but when I do it only for a few minutes, sometimes it's a few days before I see him again," Adrien said to Bruce in a low voice, not wanting the others to hear.
