Illusions D'Amore

Part 1

"You ready Hawkmoth?" Mayura asked, standing next to him on top of the Eiffel Tower. Hawkmoth sighed as he looked down, watching his akuma fight against the heroes, "As ready as I'll ever be." He mumbled, "Are you sure you're ok with this? Sure, it's been a few years since the miraculous got fixed, but you just had a child, are you sure you should be fighting?" Hawkmoth looked at her with fear and concern. He cared about his wife dearly, and he didn't want her getting hurt. She was still slightly recovering from the miraculous sickness, and having a child made her all the more weak. Yet, she refused to go back to the mansion. "I'll be fine Gabriel, don't worry. And it's been about six months, I'm all healed up and ready to fight now." She smiled at him, squeezing his hand. He gently squeezed it back, sighing, "Alright then. Let's do this." She nodded and said, "After you." She smirked as he let go of her grasp, jumping down to face the two younger heroes.

"Watch our Chat Noir!" A flame shot across the sky, almost killing Chat Noir on the spot. A red, spotted yo-yo flung across the sky, catching the feline hero and pulling him back, saving him from his certain doom. "Kitty? Are you alright?" Ladybug kneeled down at his side, her face filled with worry. Chat Noir looked up at her and smiled, "Yeah, I'm good. Can you untie me now please?" He snickered as Ladybug said, "Ohmygodimsosorryletmefixthat." She quickly undid the yo-yo, setting Chat Noir free. He hopped up into his legs, getting into a fighting stance, "Don't worry about it bugaboo, let's just focus on defeating Dreambreaker." Ladybug nodded and readied her yo-yo, getting ready to fight. When she noticed Hawkmoth walking up to the two heroes, she spun her yo-yo as a shield, "Hawkmoth! Get ready kitty!" Chat Noir nodded and spun his baton.

Hawkmoth approached the two heroes, "It's time we meet again, Ladybug." He smirked, "And this time, your miraculous will end up in my hands!" He laughed evilly as he walked up to the couple, "Your miraculous, or else you will regret it." He held out his hand.

Mayura was about to hop down and join him, but something didn't seem right. It was as if something was pulling her to go home. She tried to ignore it, but she just couldn't. She sighed and let the calling lead her back to the mansion. Before she went inside, she hopped into an alley and said, "Dussu, fall my feathers." She quickly detransformed back into Nathalie and darted out of the alley, only to find herself face to face with Dreambreaker.

"It's perfect, as good as new." Gabriel had done it, he had fixed the peacock miraculous. He smirked as he said, "Now, we shall be a fully effective team, no doubt about that." But he had forgotten about something, Nathalie didn't have a cure. Her miraculous may have been fixed, but there was no telling that she would be healed as well.

As soon as they had gotten home from the battle, Nathalie was on the edge of passing out. She felt extremely weak. Gabriel had rushed her inside, taking her up to his room. His room, not hers, his. She was laid down on the bed gently, "Now, you rest Nathalie. And I won't take no for an answer." Nathalie started sitting up, about to start protesting before she fell back into the bed, to weak to hold herself up. "I'm fine Gabriel, just go fix the miraculous." She mumbled before she started to cough rashly, the miserable expression on her face growing. Gabriel sternly replied, "No, I'm staying here until you feel better. The miraculous can wait, you cannot."

He gently cupped her cheek, "I can't have you any more sick than you already are. I don't know what I would do if you didn't get better. So for my sake and yours, please, rest Nathalie. Take all of the time you need to fully recover. Just please, rest, I beg you, Nathalie. I can't lose you like I lost her." A few tears fell down his face as he confessed to Nathalie. Everything he said was true. He couldn't lose Nathalie, not after what happened to Emilie. He couldn't lose her, not after how he saw her earlier that day. Not after what she had said to her.
