"hm maybe your right maybe your wrong" he said with a slight smile

"I think I know which one I am," she said, stopping the car at a red light and using the opportunity to look over at him.
He smiled and looked away taking a breath before turning back "yes, I did come as Hawkmoth, it was the only way to ensure that you got out of there. And the only way to make sure Demitri doesnt come after my family again. He'll be looking for Hawkmoth, not Gabriel Agrest." He stated waiting for her reaction
Nathalie shook her head. "No, I… I don't think that it's going to work like that."
(mind bumping watergirl and fireboy? I can't find it for some reason.)
"It'll keep him occupied for a bit until I find a way to get him off my trail. Did he say anything about wanting something?" He asked, trying to grasp any details that would help
(Sorry, been busy all day.)
Nathalie didn't want to worry him, but she eventually let the words spill from her lips. "He wants to overthrow you. And he wanted me so that you would give him whatever he wanted for my freedom." The light turned green and she focused again on driving. "I… I'm sorry for the inconvenience," she said quietly.
(same here so it's fine XD)
It made sense, using her as leverage to get him to surrender his life's work. He smiled in disgust and leaned back in the seat "clever clever jerk." He looked at Natalie "well it didn't work, and don't ever think of anything I choose to do for you as an inconvenience, ever." He looked forward in silence "I'd do anything for you and Adrien, including giving away my company" he said almost hoping she didn't hear him
Nathalie briefly looked over at him in horror. "No. Not for me." She looked back at the road as quickly as she'd looked away. "Don't say that. Please. I couldn't live with myself if I knew you'd given everything away for me. I'm not worth it, sir – Gabriel."
"and I couldn't live with myself if I didn't give everything I have for you. None of this means anything to me without you, why do you think Demitri too you and not Adrien? And I'm not saying I wouldn't give anything and everything for my son, because I would. But with you it's somehow different." He admitted
Another red light. They were only several blocks from home. She looked at him again. "Different… how?"
He looked down at his hands and shook his head "I don't know, not in a family way but just as strong as that love."
She looked thoughtful for a moment. She was about to say something, but the light turned and it was lost in her mind.
(gtg I'll answer tomorrow!)
(It's tomorrow now! XD)
(Beep ;)
(hi so sorry! I was at work )
He looked sidelong at her profile "I'm sorry for putting you in danger, Natalie. And….for this morning."
(It's totally fine!)
"Why are you sorry about this morning? You didn't know they had that footage and neither did I," she said simply. "There's nothing either one of us could've done to stop it before the broadcast. And… you're not the one that put me in danger… It's I that should be apologizing for that."
"True, but I should have thought ahead, should have known that there were going to be cameras at such a fancy get-together. And as for just a few moments ago, yes that is my fault. Demitri was after me and my company, if I would have just handed it over, I could have avoided getting you or Adrien hurt….or worse."
"How many times do I have to tell you?" Nathalie asked. "Don't give away your entire life's work for me."
"I'm going to anyways, you can't change my mind."
"What if I could?"
"you can try" he glanced at her challengingly
Nathalie released a breath and pressed her lips together. She was thinking.
"not easy is it?"
She glanced over at him. "I'll come up with something."
