Cat Noir did not know much about real fun in his life but he did find fun in a nightclub alone, well, with Volpina before until she betrayed him. The only fun he experiences is stealing from other criminals, fighting them until he's the last one standing, and of course, flirting with Ladybug whenever she tries to capture him.

"So, does my love spell work on you, milady?" Cat Noir chuckled at her flushed face.

"Yeah, when you showed your godly pecs," Ladybug said.

"Good" Cat Noir purred.

"You better behave or no cat treats for you" Ladybug warned him if he tried anything.

"I won't, Bugaboo" Cat Noir said.

His tingling sensation alarmed him that someone had a weapon in the nightclub and he quickly dragged his lady out of the nightclub.

"What's wrong?" Ladybug asked.

"Don't move" Cat Noir instructed her to stay in hiding.

"Find him! He owes me my eye! I don't want another one of your shitty useless attempts!" A thug forced two of his men to find Cat Noir in the alley.

"Great, another enemy I robbed from him," Cat Noir said before revealing himself, "Good even, one eye. I see you hate having a monocular vision with one eye" He chuckled.

"And I'll be sure you lose both eyes to go blind as a bat!" The one-eyed man shouted.

"Remember, bats aren't blind!" Cat Noir said.

"You're gonna find out!" He cackled and his boys engaged.

He blocks and knees one guy before throwing him over and then he punches and kicks the other guy down swiftly. The third tries to kick but Noir returns it and then headlocks him and throws him over.

Ladybug then decides to join the fight, jumping on the thug to elbow punch his head and head locked to throw him down.

"Goddamn it!" The one-eyed thug had enough of this but Cat Noir snatched the gun with his whip.

"Too slow!" Cat Noir chuckled and snatched the gun.

"You helping a thief?! Wait until everyone hears you breaking the rules, lady traitor!" The one-eyed thug taunted.

"Who will believe a thief?" Ladybug replied and knocked him out.

"Hmph! I had him" Cat Noir glared.

"Too bad, Kitty" Ladybug teased.

"He was my mouse prey that I hunt" Cat Noir scoffed.

"Right. But I'm taking them in" Ladybug wraps the yoyo around them.

"Heh, I could've kicked their ass without help," Cat Noir said.

"A woman's touch as a bonus for you" Ladybug smirked.

"You won this time. Adios Bugaboo" Cat Noir drew his whip and swung away.

After leaving the thugs to the police, she swung home to her apartment. She did feel bad at taking credit from the cat but he did show a bit of care for her safety. After all, she did have a hand in the fight too. Even if he didn't need her help someday he'll need her help. Just like he was stubborn with her help with his stabbed leg. But she talked him into letting her help. She still wonders why he doesn't trust anyone; Volpina was one thing that gave him a mental scar but it felt like it was more than being a criminal thief. She didn't know it was family issues.

She heard a thump on the balcony roof and when she peaks through her trapdoor, it was an actual black cat with green eyes, unaware that Cat Noir was watching her intentions to see if she liked real cats.

"What are you doing here?" Marinette asked the cat. He walks up to her and she gently pets it.

"Meow" Plagg meowed and stroked his sides around her ankles.

"Awww.... so adorable" Marinette smiled.

"Puuuuurrrrrrrr" The purring didn't come from him but Marinette knew one person who could do that she still wonders how he does because a person can't purr.

"Hello, Princess" Cat Noir appeared.

"Jeez, you again? Running from the cops again?" Marinette scoffed.

"Yep, after kicking some thug ass with Ladybug" Cat Noir said.

"I don't believe that" Marinette picked up Plagg, "And I suppose this is your cat?"

"Yep, my tiny counterpart Plagg" Cat Noir said.

Jumping down from the chimney top, he paced around her, "Looking very lovely, my princess. Especially when a princess has an animal friend"

"And you as an annoying thief trying to steal diamonds from my tiara," Marinette said sarcastically.

"Oh, am I? They must be very important" Cat Noir replied.

"Don't even think about stealing diamonds from my heart" Marinette being serious with him before handing the cat back to him.

"I'm kidding, princess. Sheesh. It's like you had a stressful night" Cat Noir said.

"Yeah, barely got any sleep," Marinette said.

"Princesses like you need their beauty sleep, sleeping beauty," Cat Noir said.

"And why should I? You barely sleep at night" Marinette said.

"Yeah, but I do take cat naps," Cat Noir said.

He lets Plagg run along on the rooftops, knowing that he likes independence and freedom on the streets as he does too.

"I hope so for your sake," Marinette said.

"You think lack of sleep makes me do reckless things?" Cat Noir chuckled.

"Yes, I do," Marinette said.

"I hunt mice, princess. Bad guys are like my prey and I always kick their ass if they try to mess with the top master thief in Paris. Ladybug seems to be so desperate to catch me" Cat Noir purred seductively.

"Yet she never succeeds" Marinette played with his bell.

"Meow" Cat Noir held her close, "I hope someday she lets me be free, not in a cage"

"We'll see, Kitty" Marinette said, feeling his muscular shape.

"I am a charmer but I don't play with anyone's feelings like that. I learned that from that traitor Volpina and when I find her, she's gonna pay for ruining lives" Cat Noir said.

"Cats and foxes are predators you know" Marinette reminded him.

"Indeed," Cat Noir said.

"And cats are easily frightened all the time like scaredy cats jumping around at something spooking them" Marinette snickered if he was like those cats.

"Not this cat, princess. Water never scared me because I know how to swim like a panther. I'm very wild on the streets and I love being mischievous at night" Cat Noir smirked and hid in the shadows since he heard police car sirens blaring.

"See you soon" Marinette waved.

He does a blow kiss before jumping to the next roof to head home. He hopes that his street cats can find Volpina anywhere through their microscopic cameras.

"Please let it be some good footage," He thought.

As he came through his bedroom window, he checked his laptop with 10 camera footage his cats are in right now and so far, just a regular night in Paris.

"Any minute now" He waited.

Plagg's camera spotted terrorists placing bombs at the Montparnasse Tower, the tallest building in Paris.

"Shit! No! No! No!" Cat Noir hides his laptop before jumping out the window, hoping the bombs don't go off or the building will collapse like the 9/11 incident years ago in New York.

He ran at full speed to the building. He let out a meow to all the cats to hear, commanding them to get to the tower in time to stop the terrorists while buying some time.

"Hurry my kitties!" He signaled.

He can't believe the terrorists are foolish enough to think the world will watch but if the tower collapses along with shattered windows to fall and pierces through innocents down below, including themselves, especially the debris to fall down too. No one close to the area can outrun the tower to collapse. He even saw Ladybug rushing in the direction of the tower.

"Goddamn it, milady!" Cat Noir ran to her and jumped to the next roof, "The hell are you doing?!"

"The terrorists just made a broadcast that they'll detonate the building in 8 minutes!" Ladybug replied.

"I know which I'm gonna stop them! It's too dangerous for you, Ladybug!" Cat Noir said before jumping to the next roof.

"You can't do it alone!" Ladybug swung after.

"I work alone and always am a loner, milady!" Cat Noir held out his gadget grappling hook to extend up to the building tower.

"Stop getting stubborn again!" Ladybug did the same with her gadget too to extend up to the tower.

Cat Noir punched the glass window to get inside, sensing that the terrorist was on the middle floor of the building, "Now let's get dangerous" He rushed through the corridors.

"Kitty, stop! You don't know where they are setting this up!" Ladybug ran after him.

"I can smell their scent! Literally!" Cat Noir said before trying to open the door but it was locked, "Argh!" He punched it hard, "Shit! I seriously don't want to do this but....I got no choice!" Cat Noir knew he couldn't hide this from her.

He needed to get angrier to trigger the radioactive cells in his veins, removing his gloved hand for his bare hand to mutate with black fur and claws, "Move back!" He demanded her so his clawed hand could rip the door pull/push handle. With such great force, he tore the door from its hinges.

"God almighty! What the hell?!" Ladybug did not expect that.

"Stories later!" Cat Noir said before his clawed hand returned to his normal human hand, heading downstairs to hear a distant meow of cats buying him more time.

"Good job my kitties" He smiled that they came on time, "I got seven minutes"

Ladybug ran after him, "You're crazy like a crazy old cat lady or something!"

"Crazy? No, I'm a cat whisperer. Now shut up and don't get reckless. They are close by and my babies are buying us some time!" Cat Noir said, hearing the screams of bad boys getting scratched by cats eventually.

"Okay Kitty" Ladybug took her yoyo out.

"They got guns to shoot without mercy. This can get very ugly. Whatever you do, don't get involved like last time" Cat Noir said before running into to see the corridor with cats trying their best to hold them off but some were either injured or dead.

"I'll try to find the bombs," Ladybug said.

"And don't die. I'll deal with the terrorists. Their asses are mine" Cat Noir said before running to where they are.

"Right," Ladybug found the first bomb, "6 minutes" She took out a pair of scissors.

"Hey, you assholes!" Cat Noir got their attention, "My babies do more than being cats!"

"It's him!" The terrorist leader shouted.

Cat Noir hissed at them before running at them to fight before they tried to shoot him. He strikes two of them down and kicks another down. Grabbing the person's arm and making him shoot at the bad guys to slow them down before the shooter struggles to get the feline off. Cat Noir then knees him in the gut and breaks the gun.

"Kill that son of a bitch!" The lead ordered them before they got trapped in here with bombs that would go off any minute.

"Then turn off the bombs or I bring you all to my grave!" Cat Noir demanded before doing a wrestling stunt to flip the man over like a slam dunk.

"You monsters are such fools to think destroying everything is enough to satisfy your ego?!" Cat Noir bashed the man's head against the wall.

"This place will become your grave, Noir!" The leader said.

"Not until yours is next to mine!" Cat Noir extends his claws, "I'll make sure you die first!" He strikes at the leader's face and stomach.

The cats were on his side to disarm the bombs carefully with their teeth to cut the red wires. All were under their master's command like telepathy and they were told to cut the wires carefully without tripping the countdown or it goes boom. Plagg cuts the blue wire, deactivating the first bomb.

"You're a villain people see you as! And you care about Paris?! You're fucking delusional to have no sides!" The lead held his clawed face.

"Paris is my home! And I tolerate no landmarks destroyed!" Cat Noir growled.

He pinned him against the wall for answers, "Why the hell were you planning on destroying the building? Did Volpina put up with this?!" Cat Noir demanded an answer.

"She did it to get your attention!" The leader spoke out.

"So she was involved in this? Where is she now?!" Cat Noir asked before he shoved his claws in his gut, "If you lie to me, my claws will rip out your intestines until you die slowly!"

"I don't know! But I only heard she's been hiding in plain sight for being exposed! She wants revenge on you and her!" The lead cowardly answered.

"Well, she'll know her plan to blow this tower up has failed!" Cat Noir said.

Ladybug has disabled all the bombs in just 5 minutes with the help of the cats. She hopes that Kitty doesn't try to murder the terrorists which she should make sure of right now before it's too late.

"Bomb deactivated, Kitty" She appeared before them.

"Good girl. Now my prey needs to be taught a lesson to never trespass my Paris that belongs to me" Cat Noir raised his clawed hand.

"No, don't kill him!" Ladybug stopped his hand.

"He deserves it in Hell! Sparing him will one day give him the chance to repeat!" Cat Noir hissed angrily but her kindness was weakening him.

"Not if it's life in prison," Ladybug said.

"Or a death penalty!" Cat Noir shoved the terrorist aside, "The world is always fucked up, milady!"

"And we can't change the world! As soon as you are ready to talk, please don't let fear get the better of you" Ladybug said before calling in the police to arrest the terrorists.

Cat Noir shoves the terrorist aside before taking his leave, hoping he can trust her with his dark secret. He jumps out the window to leave.
