Queen of Lies

Chapter One- This is it

3rd P.O.V

Lila felt a sneer growing on her face. This was it. This was how they were going to win. It may have taken a long time but it was going to be worth it. She was sure of it. It had to be perfected, they couldn't let this one fail. This is how the beloved heroes of Paris would fall. Why did everyone love Ladybug again? Oh right, because she saved them. The brunette scoffed, earning a side eye from the fashion designer standing next to her.

If she said she expected to find out that the Gabriel Agreste was the man that had been terrorizing Paris this passed year, she would be lying to herself, but she can't say she wasn't surprised either. So, the bug had been right all along. Then there was Cat Noir, he is so blindly in love with that red spotted hero, it was disgusting. Why wasn't Ladybug excepting his advances though? It was clear she loved him, but something was holding her back. Maybe it was her age, or her family, or... someone else. Who could the Miraculous Ladybug be in love with? She'd deal with that later, now's the time to put the plan into action.

That is how she found herself standing in his lair. After he asked for her help in this endeavor, she couldn't say no. She had been suspicious at first, but this offer was to good to turn down. "Thank you for trusting me with this Mr. Agreste, I won't let you down."

Gabriel turned to look at her and nodded his head. He was never the type who talked very much and when he did it was always so aggressive. Now though, he seemed more calm, scarily happy even. She understood why, there was no flaw in this plan, they calculated all the possible outcomes, every time, things seem to work out in their favor.

After finding out the reasons behind Gabriel trying to get Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous, she couldn't help but feel bad for him. He just wanted his wife back, and if that happened to Adrien, she would go to the same lengths to get him back. She wondered how Adrien would feel about all of this if he ever found out. With all that was about to go down, she could only hope he wouldn't, and at least now he would believe her when she lied.

"You are the only one I can trust to follow through with this, and thank you for agreeing with my suggestion of using you." He snapped her out of her thoughts and nodded. There was really no reason for her not to except it, and she would not turn down an offer to help Hawkmoth take over Paris. She had wondered herself what she would look like with the butterfly miraculous.

After a long moment of silence Gabriel reached into his pocket and Lila was waiting to see what he would pull out, and to say the least, the suspense was killing her. It had to have been something for her, is that why he called her here? Was today the day they would put the plan into motion? She really hoped so, because he had promised her something extra special for making this work, and it was the main reason the agreed to this in the first place.

The objective though was to get to Ladybug, this whole thing is was made to up to get her distracted and upset. They both knew that if they brought Ladybug to the ground, Cat Noir would fall right down with her. That stupid cat would follow that girl to the end of the earth if her had to. "Here." He said, holding a vile with a clear type liquid on the inside. Was this actually it, because if it was, then it could begin. She carefully took the vile out of his hands, and opened her bag to lay it gently in there, knowing how fragile this thing was. She was about to close her bag, but she stopped and looked up at the man with narrowed eyes.

"Are you sure this is going to work Gabriel." He chuckled at her suspicions, though he wasn't surprised. He knew she would be thorough, with her reputation, she had a lot riding on this, and thing had to go exactly to plan if it were to work out. Sure, everyone already believed her, but both of them knew that this would be pushing it a bit and they would need to have a backup plan if things were to fail. With this vile, though, that wouldn't happen. He had to travel all the way back to Tibet, which brought back some old memories he didn't want to revisit. He should have just sent Nathalie to do it, she would have done it perfectly.
