Trapped Behind The Glass- Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction

Chapter 23- The other side.

3rd Person P.O.V:

"Isn't there another way?" Ladybug questioned. She didn't feel comfortable with stripping Tikki of her identity.

"I'm afraid not..." Lillian shook her head and Marinette watched as her gorgeous blonde locks followed moments after her action, reacting with the density of the water. "If she truly wants to stay by your side... I mean, if I was to keep her as a seahorse you would never be able to talk to her again..."

Tikki frowned at this statement. "No, no I need to be there for her..."

Lillian smiled lightly at her and nodded. "Understood... I know the perfect thing. You can talk and you're accepted everywhere you go. It will take up a lot of power though..."

"We understand" Ladybug interrupted. Lillian smiled at the confidence radiating from her and nodded blissfully.

Gabriel's P.O.V:

I sat at my desk and stared down at the phone. I could do this. All I'd have to do is capture her, prove her secret identity and show that alter ego to the world. I'd be making history.

"History has its eyes on you, sir." Nathalie stated kindly and I snapped my  head up in shock. "Nathalie! How long have you been in here for?"

"Only a few moments sir, you spoke so I made the insinuation that you was speaking to me."

I stayed silent for a moment and nodded. "Right... Well... Could you go check on Adrien please?" I enquired.

"Of course sir." I smiled as Nathalie nodded and went to leave the room before interrupting her. "Wait!"

Nathalie froze and looked at me, a small smile on her face. "Yes sir?..."

I stayed silent for a minute, thinking of a way to word this without her feeling the need to inform Adrien...

"Could you ask Marinette to drop by my office later? I want to talk over designs and future plans of her and Adrien, and please don't inform him of this..."

Nathalie's P.O.V:

I stayed silent for a moment over his request. How odd... "Yes, of course sir. I'll get right to it."

"Thank you Nathalie. You are excused." He nodded and got back to his book and I left the room.

How strange of him to ask for Marinette in such a manner for such a topic. It's so... So...

So unlike him...

I headed upstairs and knocked on Adrien's door. "Adrien?" I called out.

"Come in!" Adrien replied. I opened his door to see him sat at his piano and smiled.

"Your father asked me to check on you. Is everything okay?" I enquired and smiled as Adrien beamed a smile and nodded.

"Yes! Thank you, Nathalie." He replied politely and I nodded lightly in response. "If you need me, you have my number. Just text."

He nodded and with that, I left the room and let him continue his piano playing.

I headed downstairs and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Cheng household?" I called out through the phone.

"Yes, this is Sabine Cheng. Who is this?" A sweet voice called back.

"Ah, this is Nathalie. Residence of the Agreste household" I replied calmly.

"Oh! You're Adrien's fathers assistant. Yes, Marinette and Adrien have spoken well of you. How may I help you, dear?" Sabine questioned.
