The next morning, Claw Noir drove the Lucky Charm Ducati while his lady was sitting behind him holding onto his waist.

"Hang on tight, Milady. This ride is gonna get rough!" He said as he drove.

"You always enjoy rough. And damn it why did you have to work your damn abs like this?" Shadybug asked feeling his abs through his catsuit.

"So I can stay in shape," Claw Noir said.

"Are we there to Slovakia?" Shadybug asked.

"Yep. We are heading to Bratislava" Claw Noir replied.

"Who knows if a holder will stop us again. It better not be Volpitiva" Shadybug said.

"She's done enough," Claw Noir said.

"She's too loyal but the Supreme is 10x more manipulative than her," Shadybug said.

"Yeah, but if we destroyed his miracle box, he would cease to exist," Claw Noir said.

"Someone else would have to gain guardianship, kitty. When that happens, the former guardian loses their memories" Shadybug said before making a left turn on the highway.

"Indeed" Claw Noir replied.

They arrived at the capital city of Slovakia, "So this is Bratislava" Shadybug looked around.

"Yep, it is" Claw Noir got off.

"I have never been here," Shadybug said.

"Me neither, Bugaboo" Claw Noir said.

"One thing for sure is we can't get outsmarted again" Shadybug turns her lucky charm to a binoculars.

She had a look around the city; no sign of the holders this time but she knew they could have detransformed or simply hiding anywhere. They went to an alley to detransform.

"Will you stop with that evil smirk?" Marinette said with annoyance.

"What? It's badass. You like badass" Adrien does it again.

"I've worked hard to destroy the evil in me," Shadybug said.

"It's a long journey to defeat our demons within," Adrien said with seduction, "We are still in Hell, my love"

"Until we get access to heaven," Marinette said.

"Exactly. We can't rush through our sins" Adrien said.

"Yep. And so nobody recognizes us" Marinette took her scrunchies off, letting her hair loose.

"Meow" Adrien held her close, "Why do you have to hide your beauty so much?"

"To not be too attractive," Marinette said.

"You're always attractive all the time," Adrien said.

"Thanks, Kitty," Marinette said.

"Now come. We gotta lay low. As much as we cats eat mice, that rat of a holder likes to multiply" Adrien said.

"I remember last time you like to torture regular rats in the sewers. You don't even eat them like a cat" Marinette snickered.

"It's an expression, bug. Bad boys I kill are like the mice that I eat. I eat when I kick their ass so hard they learn I'm on top of the food chain" Adrien rolled his eyes.

"You really enjoy kickass every single time" Marinette scratched his chin which he liked but it only lasted 5 seconds, "Better than to be a dumb scaredy cat from dumb animals that scare cats"

"Oh, yeah" Adrien held her hand.

"If you want to be scary, don't let your claws become soft paws" Marinette making fun of him.

"Yeah, I know that" Adrien rolls his eyes.

"You always hate it when they say your paws are too soft" Marinette cackled before going inside the hotel.

"I want them to be soft, once I change my name to Paw Noir which I used to hate," Adrien said.

"You still kill like a predator," Marinette said before going to the receptionist, "One room please," Marinette said.

"Yes. Coming up. And your name please?" The receptionist asked.

"Marinette and Adrien....ahem..." The two were unsure whether to use their actual surnames.

"Dupain" Adrien finished.

"Alright. Adrien and Marinette Dupain" The Receptionist wrote their names down.

"Thanks. Let's go, my love" Adrien said, making it look like it's their honeymoon.

"Yes," Marinette got the keys.

Once they got to their room, they locked the door, "Well, just one night here" Adrien said.

"Why did you use my father's last name?" Marinette never wanted to remember her father or mother.

"There's a risk that one of the Supreme's minions is here. I can't use my own since my parents are now dead and they are world famous. Though who would adopt an orphaned adult" Adrien replied.

"Yourself because you're not a child anymore," Marinette said before removing her shirt.

"Very funny, Princess" Adrien replied.

"You own yourself. You have more lives than anyone. You hate to be tamed like an animal on a leash" Marinette removes her bra while her back is facing Adrien, "And yet here I am taming your ass because you let me"

"Well, I'm your kitty cat" Adrien blushed slightly seeing she was topless.

She puts on her sleepwear top to get comfortable, "And you still are a fleabag to me. You were a cat burglar, showing off like a woman in a catsuit. You do fight like a woman" Marinette snickered.

"I do not fight like a woman" Adrien refused to think he does.

"Really? Why do you always do your fighting poses every time you defeat bad guys?" Marinette asked.

"I don't know! I just spend a lot of time posing to do something good to make up for all the pain and suffering that we caused. I'm just trying to be more than just a trained killer. Even trying to get out of my badass head to become something I wasn't supposed to be" Adrien removed his shirt to soak in some air on his chest.

"So that makes you a poser as well" Marinette sneered.

"I'm not a poser" Adrien replied.

"Oh, come on. When we were young you always show off by posing a lot like a woman" Marinette laughed.

"Like this?" Adrien tries out the Black Widow pose.

"Yeah, and your backflips and other woman stunts," Marinette said.

"I don't fight like a woman, damn it. Just because every female thief wears a tight leather catsuit?" Adrien stands up.

"Maybe. Because tight suits make them more flexible" Marinette said.

"Give me a reason you think I fight like a woman?" Adrien asked.

"You always do more kicking than punching. You always get seductive like a woman. You pole dance like a woman. You blow kiss like a woman. I can go on until you feel humiliated" Marinette sneered again.

"Whatever and you fight like a guy" Adrien retorted.

"I do not! Don't give me that bullshit!" Marinette scoffed.

"I'm just joking," Adrien said.

"You're just mad that you can't admit yourself that you are a poser like a woman," Marinette said.

"Alright fine, I do pose like one" Adrien admitted.

"Was that so hard?" Marinette said.

"Yes. Now if you excuse me, I need to shower" Adrien said before heading to the bathroom.

"I thought you hate water and swimming pools like a scaredy cat" Marinette snickered at times he hates the water.

"I have no problem with showers" Adrien replied.

"It's the same thing as getting wet by water," Marinette said.

"That was back then. I don't fear water anymore" Adrien reveals he has overcome it.

While turning on the shower and removing his clothes, he gets in to cool down and get cleaned. He did admit he hated water because he feared drowning. But now he learned to get through his PTSD by swimming through it, never letting the water become the predator and himself as the prey to it. It was all about fighting the water by swimming.

He applied shampoo to his hair and washed it, "Puuuuuuuurrrrrrrrr" He purred in delight. He soon shook his hair, making it look like a lion's mane. As soon as he was clean and washed, he dries himself off but got startled when Marinette was standing near the door.

"Jeez! What the hell, man?" Adrien settles down, "Just because you saw me naked, doesn't mean I feel completely humiliated or embarrassed"

"Sorry. But you look great in that lion-haircut" Marinette looks at his messy hair.

"It's the same hairstyle as Claw Noir but in blond," Adrien said.

"Maybe once you fully reform you can change it from green to blonde transformed," Marinette said.

"Hmph, you always think my green hair is like a Christmas tree" Adrien scoffed before walking out to get changed, not caring if she saw him naked, "Besides, my hair grew because I let it. Though covering these black veins with makeup was tough until it disappeared at age 18"

"Same. After we saw The Supreme's true colors" Marinette said.

"Mmhmm. Stop thinking my hair is like a Christmas tree" Adrien puts on his leather leggings.

"Okay, lion hair" Marinette teased.

"I'm strong like a lion and all of the big cats" Adrien smirked and put on his black wolf shirt, "Yes, I am dangerously seductive. Every time bisexual gay men try to steal a kiss from me, I just kill them with a cataclysm kiss. It's a brutal death but to save my virginity" He goes up to the mirror to brush his dry hair.

"Guess that makes you king of beasts," Marinette said.

"Yeah. I talk to cats" Adrien chuckled.

Marinette chuckled and got into bed.

Adrien joined her too to purring and snuggle like a desperate street cat wanting attention, "You do admit I'm like a model that I hate to be"

"One that purrs" Marinette nuzzled his chest.
