I loved the special because goth style and badasses is my thing. It made me feel like having those two not knowing who they are behind the mask but in an AU where they never went to a parallel universe. They just stayed as criminals, one living on the streets while the other stays at home. But my focus is on him because I like black cats. But yeah, two criminals that don't work with each other will always argue about theft.

----------------------------------------------------------------

In a parallel universe where it's reversed from ours, two wanted criminals known as supervillain crazy teens have been causing craziness in Paris for over a year, not caring about anything other than themselves. Two criminals hated each other and they didn't work together on robbery.

At the Louvre late at night, regular cat burglars were trying to rob the Mina Lisa (opposite of Mona Lisa) but they had to be quick because of the dangerous cat thief they knew who could see in the dark.

"Hurry it up before he shows up. He hates anyone stealing before him" The cat burglar said.

"I'm hurrying it up. He's the one with crazy ass powers to kill us to black ashes" The other one said.

"And that is exactly what I do when you ladies ruin my robbery style!" The voice scared them.

"Claw Noir! We are just doing our job! Get lost or we'll sound the alarm!" The cat burglar dared.

"I disabled them and it won't save your pathetic and only life! Everyone has one life" Claw Noir already killed a burglar in his grip to reveal to them.

"You!" They gasped seeing him.

He shoved the corpse aside and bared his claws with a menacing look, "You're all mine. My claws crave for blood to taste!"

"Back off, furball!" Shadybug lassoed him with her yo-yo, tripping him, "Mina Lisa is mine!"

"You again, cockroach?!" Claw Noir got out like a cat squeezing through tight spaces, "Mina Lisa is mine! I got here first!"

"Ladies first is what counts!" Shadybug snarled.

The cat burglars ran off but Claw Noir turned his staff into nunchucks to hit them.

"I don't have manners for a lady like you, cockroach!" Claw Noir tried to punch her but made an impact on the wall, "You're always in my way of everything in theft!"

"Paris only needs one super thief!" Shadybug said.

"One with nine lives, nasty bug!" Claw Noir cartwheel aside and tackled her, "You only have one life, cockroach! Hey! Get your legs off of my damn waist!"

"Now our lives are stuck to each other, fleabag!" Shadybug has her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms wrapped around his neck.

"You want rough? I'll give you rough and sexually pleasured" Claw Noir flirted with a Cheshire grin as he nibbled her neck roughly.

"Haaaaaaaah! Ahhh.... stop that!" She couldn't help but moan.

"Aww....is the bug already squashed by me? Such puuuuurrrrrrfect embarrassment fur you" Claw Noir cackled and managed to get off of her, "I wish to finish you off but Mina Lisa and I have a date, bug" He cataclysm the laser detectors and grabbed the portrait.

"Come back here you pussy cat!" Shadybug tried to get him but missed. She pulled out her triple-barrel gun and tried to target him.

"Shit!" Cat Noir made it to the exit before the cops could get there.

"You scaredy cat! Get back here now!" Shadybug chased him and fired the gun at him but missed.

"Knock it off!" Claw Noir jumped from roof to roof to escape from her.

"No!" Shadybug tried to reach the roof but lost him, roaring in frustration that she smashed her lucky charm in anger at the chimney, "You may have gotten before me but your ass is so mine, fleabag!"

Claw Noir made it to his lair which is an abandoned warehouse he calls home, "Daggers in" He detransformed.

His kwami had a Supreme symbol on his mouth that made him not speak at all to the holder, "Eat up, rat" Adrien shoved cheese at him.

The kwami ate his cheese as ordered by his mean owner. Adrien looks in the mirror and his make-up is all messy now. His emo hair slicked to the side needs combing. He sighs at how much he hates to lean to his emo-punk style because of the grief he went through when his mother died and his father barely understood him. Which is why he ran away to never be found by authorities.

The only person that somewhat opened his heart a little was the gothic baker girl. She barely has friends the same way he never did but he always has a hard time socializing but not as Claw Noir. She hated his flirty attitude but sometimes she lets him in on her balcony just to feed him like he's an annoying wild cat from the streets.

"It is time I'll pay her a visit" He fixed his makeup, "She is cute and feisty like she doesn't care" He chuckled and applied black lipstick to look very emo punk.

"Plagg, daggers out!" He transformed into Claw Noir, "Ugh! Even transformed the lipstick is not dark enough" He applies more to look very black. He leaped out into the night to meet her.

-

Marinette was simply closing the bakery while her parents were asleep. They can't see that their daughter is being bullied by the heartless bully at school who gave her suffering and pain. Her kwami never spoke but was concerned about her owner not trying to make friends at school.

Marinette heard something down below and she knew it was him breaking into the bakery every time he was hungry for food. She sighs in frustration at this badass feline for not showing manners.

She went downstairs with one milk carton in her hand since cats love milk. As she got down there, she saw him eating macaroons like an animal making a mess.

"I suggest you eat slowly or this will count as a food budget you owe me," She said coldly.

"Sorry," Claw Noir said with his mouthful before swallowing hard, "You left the door unlocked again"

"Because I don't want to get framed for breaking a window, street cat" Marinette grumbled.

"Why would I harm or frame you? You've been suffered enough by that Chloe" Claw Noir said.

"Oh, give me a break. Like the day we first met, she pushed me in the river canal and you jumped in to save me from drowning which I wanted to die to end my pain. And you hate water but you can swim" Marinette sweeping the floor of the mess he made.

"I may have killed other criminals but I couldn't bear to kill one in front of you, my gothic princess. Kim for example, he pranked you very badly because Chloe told him to but I beat his ass, not kill him" Claw Noir pierced his claw finger on another macaroon to munch on.

"Don't bring that up! Kim was an asshole for breaking my heart!" Marinette nearly tried to hit him with the broom but he caught it.

"My apologies, princess" He lowers it down, "Calm down, don't wanna wake up your king and queen of delicious bakery, do we? What I'm trying to say is that I became your knight because I don't want you to suffer more"

"Why can't you just kill me with your claws? You're always very good at it when it entertains you" Marinette sighs and calms down.

"Because you deserve better than death," Claw Noir said.

"No one cares about me. They only see me as some creep" Marinette shoved the milk carton on his chest.

"Not to me" Claw Noir drank milk from a carton, so thirsty since he ate sweets and his mouth was dry.

"You should've let me die. There's nothing to be happy about in my life" Marinette finished sweeping before putting the broom away.

"If you die, we die together. But I'm not letting you die because if you do that, you'll only let that Chloe bitch win and I know you hate winners and losers" Claw Noir pulled her close to him, "And I can't live without you, beautiful. You need me you know. I'm the only one that doesn't bully you like her" He lifts her up to make her wrap her legs around his waist.

"The hell are you doing?" Marinette struggled.

"Waiting until you calm down and not gonna do anything to end your life," Claw Noir said while leaning against the counter.

"I am perfectly calm!" Marinette growled.

"Clearly not" Claw Noir could tell she was lying, "You're a bad liar"

"Don't call me a liar like her!" Marinette glared.

"You mean Lila? She got expelled, didn't she? You don't need to worry about that" Claw Noir chuckled at her cute anger.

"Don't care. I hope she'll suffer like me" Marinette said.

"Shhh...calm down, ma cherie. Look into my lovely purple eyes and tell me what they express" Claw Noir stroked her thighs to calm her down.

Marinette looked into his eyes, "I see loneliness and pain"

"Exactly. You're not the only one that suffered. That's why you made me feel alive. I could never bring myself to kill you. Even if I wanted to end your pain but I couldn't. I wanted to feel dead inside but you brought my emotions to life" Claw Noir let out his purr, wanting to be petted.

"Fine then, pussy cat" Marinette scratched his chin.

"Puuuuuurrrrrrrrr" He purred in happiness.

Marinette rolled her eyes that she saw him weird and ridiculous but other than that, his purring made her feel calm since purring is a healing factor.

"Am I dreaming or you're purring?" She asked.

"Yeaaaaah" He replied.

"What the hell are you doing to me?" Marinette can't even feel angry enough since the purring calmed her down.

"I'm just being your emotional support cat," Claw Noir said.

"I....hate.....you" Marinette can't even bring herself to feel angry at him because she's too calm.

"I know" Claw Noir replied.

"Now please get the hell out of here before my parents think I had sex with a criminal cat" Marinette pushed him off.

"Meow, are your hormones calling for me?" Claw Noir flirted but got the message quickly when she held the water spray, "Okay! Okay! I'm going! I'm going! Sheesh, I was just kidding about your hormones"

"Just go," Marinette said.

Claw Noir then headed for the door, "See you soon, Marinette" He said before closing the door.

Marinette did not see he left a red rose for her but when she did, he glanced at him with a glare for his annoyance. Claw Noir chuckled and did his two-finger salute before pole-vaulting away.

"You mangy cat. Shadybug is gonna kick your ass" Marinette said with a bit of her Shadybug attitude. She nonetheless took the rose and placed it in a vase.

-

Claw Noir came back to his lair and the street cats were everywhere, meowing for food. As much as he hates conceded cats, sometimes he himself as the cat is becoming a cat whisperer.

"Greetings my babies" He petted some of them.

"Meow, meow, meow" They all meowed that they wanted food.

"Fine, fine. You're lucky you're all cute but annoying" Claw Noir said and clawed the cat food bag to key out dry food kibble on the floor so they can stop meowing.

"Finally. Peace and quiet before I'm driven into madness" Claw Noir removed his leather jacket so he could go to bed to sleep.

He glanced at the bulletin board of his sketched art of Marinette, "Oh, Marinette, if only you knew me as the real me" He said.

Last year when he was being driven by his bodyguard, he first caught a glimpse of her in the bakery while his bodyguard was buying sweets for him. The first time he smiled at her was something that made him feel happy. Since then, he never let go of her but his grief of his mother's death pains him enough into villainy. He hated his father who moved on too quickly but never saw his son grieving in pain at how much he missed his mother.

"Father's such a weak person, he deserves to be all alone," He said to himself before sleeping.

-

The next morning, Marinette was always antisocial with classmates and she hated Chloe's popularity of treating everyone like doormats. She just drew Shadybug fighting Claw Noir to try to ignore her.

"Oh, look. It's emo from the bakery! Sweetness doesn't even go with your ghetto! Aww....you hate Claw Noir? I hope he hates you too!" Chloe bullying her.

Everyone heard a loud angry hiss of a cat at the school window, "Get your bitchy attitude away from her or you will get painfully clawed in your eyes to never see anyone as doormats but yours!" Claw Noir jumped down and cornered Chloe at the lockers, making everyone but Marinette run.

"AAHH!! Uhhh....I was...uhh....just admiring her art!" Chloe stammered at how pissed he looked.

"Liar! I was there when you shoved her into the river! You're a murderer!" Claw Noir growled.

"It was just a joke!" Chloe whimpered.

"A joke? A JOKE?!" Claw Noir roared at her.

Marinette doesn't want him to get caught again like last time by killing a cop, "Calm down, kitty. Calm down. Look at me!" She made him look at her.

"GRRR!!!! She deserves punishment!" Claw Noir struggled but Marinette moved his face to make him look at her.

"Shh....breathe with me. Breathe in" Marinette instructed him.

Claw Noir inhales and exhales as the now traumatized Chloe runs away like a coward. Once he calms down, his rage is reduced and he breathes calmly to not attract attention but he does since everyone fears him and Shadybug.

"Are you calm?" Marinette asked, seeing everyone staring and recording them. This is gonna humiliate her life.

"Next time, I'm gonna kidnap you and have you as my sidekick or puuuurrrrrhaps my slave!" Claw Noir pulled his scary act.

"I'm no one's sidekick or slave, alley cat! Get the hell out of here before I dump catnip all over you to make you look like a drunk idiot!" Marinette does her act too.

"RRRRRRRGHHH!" He leaps out the window again.

"Whoa!" The classmates were shocked at him acting like a beast.

Marinette once again felt a rose in her jacket that he left for her. She doesn't know how he does that but she hopes she'll kick his ass as Shadybug tonight.

"What are you all looking at?!" Marinette saw everyone staring at her.

They all went silent at her creepy glare.

"Such pathetic morons" Marinette walked to class.
