Chapter 4
At the Agreste Mansion. The famous fashion designer/notorious supervillain, Gabriel Agreste, and his assistant, Nathalie Sancouer. Discuss the recent events that have been taking place in Paris, in Gabriel's Atelier. Gabriel was not in a pleasant mood.
Gabriel: It's absolutely irritating, Nathalie. As if it wasn't enough that Ladybug and Cat Noir have been thwarting my Akuma attacks. Now I have this, "Flash" to worry about!
Nathalie scans through different images and footage taken from eyewitnesses from the runaway bus incident.
Nathalie: He certainly doesn't look like any Miraculous wielder I've seen.
Gabriel: That's because he's not a Miraculous wielder at all! I've been going over the details of the previous battle with Archaeologist, in order to find out what went wrong.
He certainly has experience fighting supervillains.
But his powers don't comply with any Miraculous.
He scans over more surveillance footage.
Gabriel: If that wasn't concerning enough, Nathalie. I haven't felt as many negative emotions since he's shown up. It's as though he's everywhere at once!
Nathalie stands emotionless, waiting for her boss to continue. Gabriel adjusts his ascot.
Gabriel: (Sigh) Regardless, this new Flash hero is becoming an increasingly, irritating speed bump in my operation.
Nathalie: Sir, if I may. I understand that this new hero is an apparent problem. But you can't let him draw your focus from your end goal. Besides, we can't be sure that this,"Flash" even has any knowledge of what we're up to.
Gabriel becomes increasingly frustrated as the conversation continues.
Gabriel: He's still an unprecedented variable, Nathalie! He could very well put my plans in jeopardy, should he be made aware of them!
Nathalie: Perhaps we should consider a new tactic, sir. Find something else to keep the heroes distracted. It'll be worth the effort once we awaken-
Frustrated, Gabriel slams his fist down on the table, surprising Nathalie.
Gabriel: NATHALIE, WE'RE NO CLOSER TO AWAKENING EMILIE, THAN THE DAY WE STARTED!
Gabriel: It doesn't matter what I do, Ladybug and Cat Noir always manage to thwart my attacks! I've akumatized the civilians, I've akumatized myself, I've even sent Senti-monsters! NOTHING HAS BEEN WORKING!
Nathalie corrects herself, albeit still shocked by Gabriel's outburst of frustration. He finally calms down, rubbing his forehead.
Gabriel: (Sigh) I apologize, Nathalie. I just…I feel like I've run out of ideas.
Still rather shaken from his outburst, he tenderly places a comforting hand on Gabriel's shoulder.
Nathalie: Don't worry, sir.
Something will come to you, just give it time. Perhaps we should take a break, for today...There's always tomorrow.
Back at Francois Dupont High school.
In Ms. Mendeleiev's class, Professor Wathen was making an announcement.
Wathen: Alright, class. As you know, Ms. Mendeleiev has informed you that you will be starting your Quantum physics presentation project this week. And as I'm sure you know, the topic of each Quantum physics subject is up to you.
The students begin to quietly converse with one another.
Wathen: Fortunately, Ms. Mendeleiev has already grouped all of you into pairs.
He grabs a sheet of paper and goes over the students names.
Wathen: Okay, here are the group pairs. If I mispronounce your name, I apologize in advance.
He looks over the first group of students.
Wathen: First up; Chloe and Sabrina, Rose and Ju-leka, and Nino and Alya.
Chloe: Naturally.
Rose: Yay!
Nino and Alya: Alright!
Juleka: (Mumbles) He said my name wrong.
Wathen: Next up; Kim and Max, Nathaniel and Alix, and My-lene and Ivan.
Max: As to be expected.
Alix: Okay, cool.
Ivan: Yes!
