"Ladybug and two other heroes are once again fighting Lady Paon Bleu under the Eiffel Tower and the police are begging citizens to move away from the fight till Ladybug the fight is over." Nadja Chamack said on the TV in the background as Gabriel watched the live feed on his tablet on the Ladyblog. Ladybug and Chat Noir came in close to Paon with their newer hero member Rena Rouge running the outskirts of the fight to keep her from escaping. Gabriel eyes narrowed as Adrien pushed Paon against one of the tower's metal poles tiredly, and he growled slightly.

"Chat Noir is tiring. You need to focus your attack on him, tire him out." He ordered, and he listened to Nathalie on the other end of the earpiece.

"Yes sir." Paon lashed forward, throwing feathers after feathers at Chat Noir who yelped and backflipped back.

Gabriel leaned forward, keen. "He's almost there. You have to pull back soon, before Papillon finds his-" He was interrupted as new figure joined the fight, throwing a disk at Chat and right away he perked up and doubled his defence, reflecting the feathers back at Paon. Paon growled through the earpiece and Gabriel groaned, knowing the heroes had this fight.

"Get out of there immediately, Paon Bleu. Use any means needed." He tapped the earpiece and pulled it out, throwing it onto his table and dropped his tablet beside it. He glanced up at the TV on the wall, mutely watching Nadja attempting to keep up with the fight from the studios.

If only I had the Butterfly Miraculous I could no doubt create a powerful Akuma from that annoyance. He thought.

The door opened, and Nathalie slipped into the room, tidying her suit. Gabriel turned the TV off as the reporter announced the heroes victory and glanced at his assestent and clapsed his hands together.

"This isn't working." Nathalie said simply, holding her hands behind her back as Duusu slipped out of her pocket, eyeing them tiredly. "Whenever we get Adrien where we want a champion appears and remove his weariness from the fight."
"It has been repeating for the past few weeks hasn't it?" Gabriel mused before glancing down at the photos of Adrien on his desk of the past few weeks. Nearly every afternoon was filled with photo shoots, there was even a few taken at midnight with the moon behind a cherry Adrien. Gabriel was familiar with his son's smile to know he was tired and about to drop. Only that whenever Nathalie attacks and wear him down enough for Gabriel to spring on him, that butterfly thief come to the rescue with a Champion that empowers them, removing the weariness of the fight and some of the tiredness from Adrien's busy week. He's just a few feet from collapsing, only the butterfly holding him up.

"The butterfly is more annoying then we thought. He needs to be removed."

"I see you can finally see how much more powerful the butterfly is when used properly and in good hands." Duusu teased, receiving a glare from both adults.

There was a soft knock at the door and Nathalie pushed Duusu back into her pocket before opened the door, Adrien smiled tiredly at her.

"Um, can I talk to you Father?" He asked glancing toward Gabriel, who sat back and nodded. Stepping inside Adrien turned to his father and sighed.

"I um, was wondering if I could take the rest of the week off. I've been taking photo shoots for the past weeks nonstop, even the midnight ones. The teachers noticed that my work has started to decline due to lack of sleep." He went straight to the point, scratching his back. Gabriel nodded, thinking.

"I've been thinking something along the same lines, Adrien and I believe school needs to become second at this season. Starting next week, unless the photographer is unavailable, you will do as many photoshoots as required for this season of fashion."

"But Father!" Adrien shouted and quickly shirked away as Gabriel glared at him.

"This is important Adrien that you do these shoots."

"But so is school in the long run." Adrien offered desperately, and Gabriel nodded.

"That's right, that's why you will start reading books that a colleague of mine suggested that will cover all the subjects you will miss for this season. I also want you to write a five-thousand-word essay on how silk is made by the end of the month."

Adrien sighed, lowering his head. "Yes Father." Turning back to the door he slipped outside and closed the door behind him, Nathalie turning to him.

Duusu rushed out of the pocket, furious. "Is that how you interact with your son these day, Gabriel!? What would Emilie say?" Gabriel ignored her and glanced at the worried stare from Nathalie.

"You sure you want to push him this hard sir? There might be no coming back."

"It won't matter when he has his mother again, he can hate me all he want. But we will get Emilie back from that cursed place." He growled and stood. He marched to the window, staring outside as Nathalie and Duusu watched him.

"The butterfly must be removed." He said again, thinking. Slowly a smile appeared on his face and he glanced towards Nathalie over his shoulder.

"I know what our next move is going to be. By the end of the week, the Black Cat Miraculous will be in my palm."

I would guess we're half way through guys! YAY! I'm excited to get to final battle! its going to be cool!
