Hawkmoth watch Cat Noir with interest while he landed, taking in the night scene. Copycat slinked closer to the black kitty. Red Wasp appeared, startling the Black Cat. Copycat had reported to Hawkmoth that Cat Noir had wanted to eat the butterfly of Lady Noir. Hawkmoth had sent an Akuma Cat's way to see what would happen to it.
"Interesting." Hawkmoth hummed as he observed the violent attacks of Cat Noir. His neon green eyes slowly turning impossible green. He glared daggers at Red Wasp as Hawkmoth yanked him this way and that. He raised a brow when Cat bashed the poor Akuma on the head, rendering him unconscious.
He inhaled sharply when Cat Noir stared lustfully at the black butterfly. He exposed his sharpened teeth when he opened his mouth, taking a massive bite out of the insect. Shock bled through Hawkmoth. He didn't think the boy would actually eat it. He was also curious to see what would happen to him if he ate more butterflies. But then, he also dreaded it.
Hawkmoth watched as a neon yellow green light flashed around Cat Noir. The horror flash through Adrien's face as his eyes returned to their neon green. The boy model stumbled back while releasing the butterfly, The Cat Kwami hovering beside him while he caught the struggle insect.
"What is with Cat Noir?" Copycat's voice echoed throughout his head. An idea slipped through his mind before he looked at his fluttering butterflies, searching for the one that had possessed Cat Noir. He held his left hand out as a pinkish-white butterfly landed on it. Hawkmoth stared at it. It was such a light pink that it almost appeared to be white.
He was curious as to how it escaped his attention. He placed his right hand over it, flinching at the sight of his partial pinkie and missing thumb and ring finger. Adrien had bitten them off.
He remembered the dark angry fire burning in the blonde model's eyes and the apparent sinister smile on his face when he closed his jaw around the appendages. The blood dripping down his lips and chin made it appear as if he was from a horror movie. The moonlight had been no help either. A shiver ran down Hawkmoth's spine before he released a sigh. It had been four weeks and he still couldn't stop thinking about that night.
Chills raced up and down his spine. He shook the image from his mind. He didn't understand how Cat managed to take his fingers. He thought that his suit would protect him. But then again, the cat was the embodiment of bad luck and destruction. Maybe it was that the cat had used whatever powers that resided in his body?
Hawkmoth looked at the pinkish-white butterfly resting on his hand through his missing fingers. He closed his eyes, feeling for the energy that was required to akumatize it. Shock pulsed through him when he felt not but an empty shell. The power that once resided in it had gone missing. Cat Blanc's power was no longer there. "Copycat." Hawkmoth called to the dozing cat.
"Oui?" He responded with a yawn. Hawkmoth narrowed his gaze to see he was lounging on a poster board grate, watching Ladybug disappear into the night.
"I want you to find Cat Noir, and watch him to see how he does with each Akuma I send his way." For now, if he keeps eating them . . . A smile curled Hawkmoth's mouth as he released the pinkish-white butterfly. He shook his head; he didn't want Cat Blanc to consume his butterflies. But for now, he was willing to see how far the white cat will go.
