Bridging the Gap

Ladybug and Cat Noir listened in skeptical silence as I laid out my proposal. I spoke of redemption, of using the Miraculouses for good, and of finding a way to help Emilie without causing chaos."This has to be some kind of trick," Cat Noir said, his voice tinged with suspicion."I understand why you'd think that," I replied calmly. "But I'm not Gabriel Agreste. At least, not the one you know. I have his memories, his responsibilities, but I'm also someone else. Someone who knows the future and wants to change it."Ladybug crossed her arms, her eyes piercing. "If you're telling the truth, then prove it. Reveal your identity to us."I hesitated, knowing that revealing my identity would be a significant risk. "I will, but not here. It's too dangerous. Meet me tomorrow at the Jardin des Tuileries. We can talk there."Ladybug exchanged a glance with Cat Noir before nodding. "Alright, we'll be there. But if this is a trap…""It's not," I assured her. "I'll be there, unarmed, and ready to prove myself."With that, I turned and disappeared into the shadows, hoping that this leap of faith would lead to a new alliance.
