The teens didn't know what to do with this information. Marinette was trying to find a way to ask the villain what he thought about deAkumatisation, trying to weave this new information into what she was asking him as a... a persuasive technique, you could say.

The Inventor was now sitting on the stairs leading up the Marinette's bed. He fumbled with his fingers, wondering if he relay to the teens what Hawkmoth told him. I mean, they're not the two superheroes that Hawkmoth is after right? After all, there is four of them.

Gathering up the courage to say what he wanted, the Inventor took a deep breath before letting it out slowly. He urged his rapidly beating heart to stop beating so rapidly before he leaped into the deep end. They are just teenagers, what kind of power can they possibly have?

He was about to spill his guts when the blonde one asked, "Is Hawkmoth still controlling you?"

The Inventor grimaced, "Yes. As we were walking to this bakery he reinstated my powers."

"What powers?" The dark haired girl asked. Her eyes were curious.

"Whilst I have made this glorious future a reality in mere seconds, I can also make anyone who stands in my way disappear."

"Disappear?" Nino asked,
"Where to?" Alya questioned

"Only Hawkmoth knows." The Inventor answered.

That white floating place we were trapped in before we got transported to Egypt. Adrien thought. It must be.
Marinette seemed to have the same idea as her eyes widened towards Adrien.

"How would you feel about deAkumatisation?" Alya asked the villain, taking the words right out of Marinette's mouth.

"No!" The Inventor exploded, "I need to get the jewllery!"

"Jewellery?" Adrien asked

Marinette and Alya turned towards him in disbelief. You'd think that after the amount of akumatised villains he and Ladybug had taken down he would have realised that the common denominator of motives that all the villains had was to obtain Cat Noir's and Ladybug's Miraculouses.

"What?" He asked, throwing his hands up.

Alya rolled her eyes. Marinette face palmed. Nino chuckled.

"But Ladybug and Cat Noir are dead." Marinette deadpanned, "You can't get their Miraculouses. They're long gone."

"Ohhhh." Adrien finally caught on.

They ignored him. "No." The Inventor started, "They are in the Museum, locked under lock and key. Why do you think Hawkmoth has an army of villains in the long-term jail?"

Either he's attempted to get the Miraculouses hundreds of times with a different villain, Marinette thought, or he's waiting until he's created enough villains to seize the museum's locking mechanisms and take the Miraculouses for himself.
