Gabriel could not try to akumatize the therapist since she doesn't feel anything negative. Nathalie can't bear to see Gabriel going psycho for his next Akuma victim. She doesn't want Adrien to be endangered again. Now she knows why Emilie entrusted Nathalie to stop him because his madness of the miraculous obsession will destroy him.

"Don't you dare try on Adrien or his girlfriend again" Nathalie said.

"I'm trying to save ourselves, Nathalie! Adrien is gonna be left alone with no one!" Gabriel said.

"He's not alone. And you're only doing this for yourself than us!" Nathalie reminds him of his selfish decision, "You should've listened carefully to her recordings but you didn't and now because of you, you're destroying your fake life like you did with your real one in the past" Nathalie said.

"Time's running out, I need to make the wish soon" Gabriel looks at his hand.

"No! You have done enough to ruin our lives because you didn't accept her fate but you went against her! Everything is destroying us because you don't know when to move on! The past you are living in now is creating no future for you! A future you will never have!" Nathalie said and handed him a talisman that contained the power of a person's fate of their future, "Don't believe me, see it for yourself!"

Gabriel takes it and sees it for himself, the cataclysm has reached up to his neck, and even his teeth turned black.

His madness for the wish will only be much worse and he sees Adrien in his mother's place, dead. Emilie is alive but no longer the sweet and kind soul to take revenge on him for exchanging Adrien's life for hers. A life for a life but no reality to create what he specifically wanted. If the wish grants him to be healed, Marinette will be the one to die in his place.

"Well Gabriel, what do you see?" Nathalie asked.

"Nothing" Gabriel refused to believe that his future was doomed.

"Your fate is inevitable. There is no future for you. You're still stuck living in the past" Nathalie knows his fate.

"I disagree" Gabriel replied.

"How many lives are you gonna ruin in the name of your psycho dream?!" Nathalie asked in anger.

"As many as it takes to get my wife back!" Gabriel said.

"And you always assume she's dramatic and stubborn. It's you who is stubborn. You wanna know why? Because when I gave you advice, you always choose poorly over it. Just like you failed to choose Emilie when you chose your irrational obsession with Ladybug and Cat Noir" Nathalie said.

"I already told you. It was Ladybug's fault!" Gabriel protested.

"No, you had the miraculous of the Rabbit long enough but you wasted time. Literally. You lead them to know what you were up to until another rabbit holder from the future came to help them. It's not Ladybug's fault, it was your fault. Not hers, not the people, not the adult rabbit holder. You" Nathalie said.

Gabriel was left speechless at her rant.

"Everything is you, Gabi. You'll never admit your madness creating destruction. Someday, you'll lose Adrien by your madness" Nathalie said.

"We shall see," Gabriel said.

Marinette was out on a walk in Paris, chatting with Adrien on video.

"How do you feel now Adrien?" Marinette asked.

"It's hard to tell but as long as you and our friends are there for me, I'll be back to myself again," Adrien said.

"That's great Adrien" Marinette smiled.

"Thanks. Does it seem strange that there hasn't been an Akuma for days?" Adrien asked.

"Maybe Monarch's out of ideas," Marinette said.

"Maybe. If you see Cat Noir coming to your balcony again, always give him a bowl of milk" Adrien teased.

"Of course I will. Maybe tease him with a yarn ball" Marinette joked.

"To get his claws tangled up?" Adrien chuckled.

"Yeah, like that," Marinette said.

"Heh, you are funny," Adrien said.

"Thanks. I'll see you later, love you" Marinette said.

"Love you too," Adrien said before hanging up.

"He's looking better. Last time he was very pale" Tikki said.

"Yeah, he's improving," Marinette said.

"And I wonder how the cat is doing too," Tikki said.

"That's what we're gonna find out" Marinette gets into an alley to transform, "Tikki, spots on" She becomes Ladybug and swings on the rooftops to find her kitty.

She found him on the Triumph de Arc roof eating a Subway sandwich since his stress levels made him lose his appetite for a week and he became very hungry.

"Hey there Kitty cat" She calls to him.

"Whoa! Oh, it's you" Cat Noir almost dropped the sandwich.

"Scaredy cat," Ladybug said before seeing he was not having panic attacks as her prince did.

"I was just trying to enjoy my lunch," Cat Noir said.

"That you haven't eaten much in a week," Ladybug said.

"Yeah, but I'm glad you're here for me" Cat Noir held her hand.

"Mmhmm. I just hope the trauma isn't traumatizing you again" Ladybug said.

"I'm trying to fight it off but every time I look at my right hand, it gives me bad memories whenever I lose my temper and almost cataclysm an akumatized villain. I remember how pissed I was when Dark Owl used the pig miraculous to trap us in a fantasyland" Cat Noir said.

"Yep. That for example" Ladybug said.

"I lost my temper when I almost cataclysm Dark Humor but got hit by his disruption arrow. I was so pissed for what he did to my princess. I heard everything while I was....about to get changed in swim trunks" Cat Noir made a lie to not reveal what he did.

"You know he apologized to her and promised to change" Ladybug said.

"But it was Chloe's fault too, I overheard Adrien and her" Cat Noir said.

"What?" Ladybug said.

"Yeah, I heard them arguing at the roof of the hotel." Cat Noir said but he as Adrien himself was the one who ended his friendship with Chloe since she can't see herself becoming a heartless monster who'll lose everything in her life if she doesn't face the fact that everyone will despise her.

"And once I got close after he left, I heard Chloe declaring him a traitor," He said.

"Damn it she's so irresponsible. What else did she say?" Ladybug said.

"She declared that people like my princess deserve to suffer for her entertainment. Chloe also declared that she's like a princess to make fun of everyone who are good enough to be used as doormats. I did not like her true colors and neither did Adrien. All of us reached out to her when we gave her the bee miraculous but instead, she doesn't care about anyone or anything but herself. She never cares about losers, the bees, or the planet. It was enough that Adrien ended his friendship with her and I saw he did not like what she said. He chose our princess over Chloe" Cat Noir explained to her.

Ladybug was very touched by her prince to choose her over Chloe's friendship.

"He did the right thing, Kitty," Ladybug said.

"But I'm very pissed for what Chloe did. I'm extremely pissed at the dumb principal that doesn't have the power to expel bullies" Cat Noir growled.

"I agree, Kitty. A principal shouldn't obey because of a mayor's kid" Ladybug said.

"He's a coward to choose his job over students' lives," Cat Noir said.

"Yeah, not listening to another's story," Ladybug said.

"That's another reason I wanted to cataclysm but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I should know better" Cat Noir swallowed his last piece of sandwich.

"If only there was a way to fully expose Lila to help Marinette," Ladybug said.

"Lila is very good at making lies and deceptions to avoid trouble. Gabriel is a bigger idiot to have her as the female avatar of the alliance rings. She doesn't have a permit to model" Cat Noir said.

"Yeah, she doesn't" Ladybug sat next to him.

"Milady, we are superheroes and sometimes being heroes is not easy when Paris doesn't check their facts. Who will they choose? Monarch or us?" Cat Noir drinks his milkshake.

"They'd choose us," Ladybug said.

"Lila and Chloe chose Monarch because they always willingly get akumatized to please their master. They are fools to think they will get what they want but Monarch doesn't care if they succeed, he will take all the credit" Cat Noir said.

"He's no true master to them," Ladybug said.

"Exactly. I don't know why he wants that wish but I'm guessing he wants to heal himself while we are the sacrifice. Not happening because if he has family, they would be angry and scared of him" Cat Noir said.

"Exactly" Ladybug nodded.

"Let's go patrol to clear our heads" She got up.

"Agreed. These anxiety issues are making me think negatively too much. I hate it when it disrupts my nine lives" Cat Noir said.

"It's time to think positive" Ladybug ran with him.

"You know me as the black cat with bad luck, bugaboo" Cat Noir smirked.

"Oh yeah?" Ladybug kept running.

"I run on all fours, milady!" Cat Noir ran on all fours, "Meow, meow, meow!"

"Silly Kitty" Ladybug chuckled.

"I'm fast!" Cat Noir jumped to the next roof.

"Here kitty kitty! Come here!" She swings after him.

"I'm extremely untamed!" Cat Noir laughed.

"Not for long. Your ass is mine!" Ladybug tackled him.

They rolled on the rooftop until Cat Noir was on top of her, "Meow, I caught the bug" Cat Noir purred.

"For now," Ladybug said.

"I'm very wild and untamed, bugaboo. I'm desperate for chin scratches" Cat Noir nuzzled her cheek.

"Alright, here you go" Ladybug scratched his chin to hear his purrs.

"Meow" He loved it.

Ladybug then pecks his cheek, "There's my happy kitten"

"Meeeeeow" Cat Noir meowed.

Ladybug pulls down his zipper to check his heart rate. She heard his heart beating, but Cat Noir blushed at her on his bare chest.

"No palpitations. That's good. If it didn't stop, I would have to take you to the vet" Ladybug said.

"Guess I'll have to thank you and Dr. Dupain-Cheng for it," Cat Noir said.

"Heh, you're too funny, kitty. If Monarch ever shows his face again, I'll let you kick his ass straight to hell" Ladybug said.

"I'll ruin that old man's face," Cat Noir said.

"Spoken like a true predator" Ladybug replied.

"Unlike my doppelgänger" Cat Noir said.

"Claw Noir or Copycat?" Ladybug wondered.

"Claw Noir" Cat Noir replied.
