Gabriel was livid! The well-known designer angrily grunted as he crushed the glass tea cup. How in the hell had Chat Noir managed to rescue Marinette in a matter of minutes? And what did that mean for Hawkmoth's identity? Did he know? Had Marinette woken up yet? The news was unclear of her state! AND WHERE THE HELL WAS HIS SON?!

Gabriel hissed as he finally felt the pain of the glass cutting through his hand. His eyes went towards the blood that dripped on the ground, only reminding him of Marinette's state as he lost saw her. Maybe his plan would work after all. There was no way the girl would live long in that state.

Truth be told, part of him felt terribly guilty. He Never meant to hurt Marinette, but his anger had gotten the best of him, and then he couldn't stop. The way he saw it, he never got the chance to punish Chat Noir and Ladybug before for keeping him from his lover for so long, but Marinette was the way to change that. At least when it came to Chat Noir.

Natalie sighed as he walked into the Agreste mansion. She wasn't positive of what she could tell Gabriel to keep him from looking for Adrien, but she couldn't tell him that he knew of his identity and even less that Adrien was Chat Noir!

Gabriel's eyes went towards the door as Natalie walked inside. Without hesitating, he stood up and quickly approached her. "Where is my son?" He asked as he looked behind her to find her alone.

"He wouldn't come, sir," the woman responded, almost afraid.

"What?! Where is he?"

"He is at the hospital, sir. He claimed that he would not leave her side, and none of us, including you, could do anything to stop him."

"Excuse me?"

"He is in love, Gabriel. And the girl he loves is dying in a hospital bed. You have to understand that if Adrien had to choose, he would pick her every time. Just like you have chosen Emily."

Gabriel grunted, feeling irritated. He knew Natalie was right, but that Marinette girl was really beginning to become a problem. She was now as big of a pain as Ladybug herself was.

"That girl is a problem, Natalie. She knows our identities. We have to take her out of the equation before she tells Adrien the truth."

"She is a child, Gabriel."

"She is a problem. A problem for me and a future problem for Adrien!"

"What if she is not?"

"What?"

"You heard her. Even after all that we had done, she offered to help. She said she would talk to Chat Noir and find a way to bring back Emily. What if she wasn't lying?"

Gabriel laughed mockingly. "You seriously believe that she would help us? Don't be foolish, Natalie. She wanted to escape. She wouldn't have helped us."

"How do you know that?"

"Why would she help us? What? Because she was dating Adrien, the guy she left for that hero?! There is no helping! She had to die!"

"What? Have you gone mad? We are not murderers! I did not sign up for this!"

"You promised you'd help me!"

"I promised I would help you bring back Emily, my best friend! Not hurt some innocent girl!"

"She is not innocent. You always said you wanted to protect Adrien. Well, it's the time!"
