The Guardian

distracted

No matter how hard Gabriel tried, he just couldn't focus on his work. Again and again his gaze wandered to Nathalie. She was so focused in her work that she didn't even notice that his eyes were constantly on her. It felt like he could look at her for hours without ever getting tired of it. He didn't understand why he felt that way. All these questions kept spinning in his head, what was so special about her was one of them. He sighed in frustration. Neither as a terrorist, or as a simple designer, at the moment the luck was on his side. Also definitely not as an father. After all, it's been months since Adrien went to school, according to Nathalie only with good grades. A sound, which Gabriel identified without hesitation as his cell phone ringtone, rang out and drew his attention from the woman, who now looked up in irritation. Calls didn't often go directly to him. 'suppressed phone number?' despite his doubts, he take the call. "Gabriel Agreste" he greeted "Is anyone with you?" a voice asked him directly in a harsh tone "Just my assistant but you're not on speaker" he replies "Well I'm really very upset" the woman hisses "How hard is it to defeat a grown woman and two small children? " "I'm sorry Amelie, I never thought it would be so difficult," he sighs, when he pronounces the name of his caller, he looks at Nathalie, who seems worried and is watching him very closely. He gestures with his hand that she should leave the room, whereupon she looks at him questioningly and doesn't understand why, but still does what her boss wants her to do. "Don't you want Emilie back? Do you really want to see your son grow up without a mother? I thought you loved her!" "I DO" he calls back angrily "And why isn't my sister back yet?" "Because our opponents are stronger than we thought. No matter what I do, it doesn't work." "Then seek support!" "To be honest, that's exactly what I tried... It backfired though, I don't know if there's anything else I could ask for help," he admits, "I don't care, even if you use a weird pigeon-feeding man I want progress, it can't be that hard and you still haven't accomplished anything!" the woman continues to scold, while her sister's otherwise stubborn husband was silent. "If something doesn't happen soon, I'll come to Paris personally and take care of it. So please make an effort!" a beep signaled that the conversation was over. "MERDE" he now curses in frustration and smashes his mobile phone against the wall. "Can't this stupid cow even mind her own crap? Doesn't she have any hobbies or what?" The man runs his fingers through his hair and then presses the secret combination to his secret room. "It's just a wife and two kids, it can't be that hard. Nooroo, transform me!"

A few seconds later, the terrorist from Paris is standing in his secret room, listening to his next victim. The frustration of a student lacking time. "Hello Thunder, I'm Hawk Moth, are you running out of time? I'll give you the power to be faster than time, there's only one condition, you have to bring me the Miraculouse from the woman and those miserable children." "Thank you Thanks Hawk Moth, I won't let you down," his new ally replied, happily accepting this newfound power. "You won't have a chance, I'll make it and defeat you," the villain growls in another self talk and jumps out of the window.

As usual, it was an almost perfect day in Paris, the sun was shining, there wasn't a cloud in sight and it was nice and warm. But for man this weather was rather annoying, people were mostly happy and having fun in the sun with friends. It was always difficult for him to find a new servant. Hawk Moth briefly observed his creation wreaking chaos throughout the city, seeking the attention from the heroes directly. The man was pleased to find that Mayura was also with the children this time. His enemies didn't seem to have noticed him and watched Akuma intently, hoping to be able to stop him. He now crept closer to the three and watched as Mayura created a rampage. Ladybug and Cat Noir jumped down from the roof unerringly when the terrorist caught the woman from behind "Bonjour Mon Cherie" he whispered contentedly "I would advise you never to call me that again" she hissed back hostilely and threw it to his surprise over the shoulder to the ground. Her magenta eyes blazed with anger as they met. "Why so bitter?" he grins "Should I be happy to face a murderer?" "I'm really sorry Mon..." he started, but she reached for his Miraculous "I said you shouldn't call me that" she hisses and was about to rip it off his chest when the Akuma appeared out of nowhere next to her stood and the woman threw a few doors down "Merci" Hawk Moth thanked him, but his servant was already busy with the children again. The villain jumped to Mayura who was lying on the ground unconscious. "What a pity it's over now," he grins, but when he stands over her, she opens her eyes and kicks him in the stomach. "Whoever climbs high will fall low. You are far too sure of victory, Hawk Moth," the peacock replies calmly. 'Can't they just let themselves be defeated?' the man thought as the heroine without any problems dodged his attack, letting him stumble into the void. "I took a Miraculous from you fifteen years ago and I'll do it again" she murmurs and tries to disarm him, but he parries "who believes"

Mayura noticed that her opponent's attacks were thoughtless, he seemed impatient. 'As long as his akuma doesn't get in the way, this might give me a chance to defeat him,' she thought. The woman was still upset at his intrusion into her mind, but he didn't know she was Nathalie and feelings are out of place on a battlefield, the best example being her opponent. "You know what interests me for a long time?" Mayura asks, deftly dodging his attack. "What?" he replies, obviously more annoyed than at the beginning of the fight. "Where's your partner?" Hawk Moth flinches. "None of your business!" "I remember her very clearly. I really wonder what she's doing," the woman continues. "SHUT UP" the man yells angrily and tries to overpower her, but it wasn't hard for her to dodge him and bring him down. "I really wonder what your plan was and what you hope to get out of the wish." she now says with a smile, "But it doesn't matter, because I will stop you" her gaze is cold. A swarm of ladybugs flies over them, showing that the Akuma is defeated. "You lost," she hisses triumphantly, while she pressed him to the ground.
