major differences to know about before reading:

there is no "lucky charm" or "cataclysm", and they can transform and de-transform whenever they feel like it, meaning that being a superhero just gives them super-strength, flexibility, speed, etc.

they are 17 in this storyline, meaning their bodies have changed (lmao), which also means that they are now seniors in high school.

there are no akumas

Adrien/Cat Noir has a watch to alert him of the crimes when they happen.

there may be other differences that, if you need to know about them, I will announce before the chapter. I don't want to give away any minor or major spoilers… thanks enjoy :)

Chapter 1

He raced along the rooftops, eager to see what kind of crime had interrupted his piano lessons, not that he was unhappy for the interruption. But, the crime alert that had flashed on his watch while he was playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata gave an indication that this crime was no ordinary one.

There was no description given, which was very unusual, as his watch often gave him details about the crime that had occurred. But, this time it just gave a location: the Eiffel Tower. Unsure of what criminal had appeared, an uneasiness fell into his stomach that he couldn't seem to shake. He knew that as Cat Noir, Paris' best... and only hero, he had to stop whatever danger that Paris got themselves into. It hadn't been much of a struggle thus far, as he would usually just chase after some street robbers or stop a person that was trying to assault another, and while these were still serious crimes they hadn't been difficult to the slightest for him. Even though, he liked that Paris didn't really have any huge threats at the moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty at the fact that he wanted a challenge. Being Cat Noir meant that he could be free from his overprotective father and life, but it didn't have much of an effect if he was merely gone for 10 minutes every couple of days.

So, when the mysterious alert beeped on his watch, he couldn't help but feel a bit of an urge to fight, and secretly hoped for something a little different than the classic Paris crook to accompany his time.

He had never expected to see the Eiffel Tower completely unharmed, nor did he expect to see a teenage girl standing in the middle of it, on one of it's ledges, staring down at the city. At first, he thought the alert had been because she was thinking of taking her life, but it seemed as if she wasn't leaning forward or had any intentions of jumping. He stood on a rooftop to the west of the Eiffel Tower and watched her for a moment, assessing the "threat".

The girl wore a skin-tight suit that outlined her body's curves and figure well. She looked very fit, and he couldn't help gawk at her body a little, as it seemed as though she was at least 17. The suit itself was covered in black and was accompanied with red spots on it. She had a matching mask that made her bluebell eyes pop, and her blue-tinted black mop of hair lay a little past her shoulders. Attached to her costume at the hip was something that looked like a yo-yo, with a pattern that matched the rest of her outfit. In her hand he could see something that looked like a remote, with a big red button on it.

She's rather pretty. Suddenly, he was snapped out of his illusion, as he realized that he needed to grab the remote as soon as possible. He didn't know what it was for, but he had to fear the worst. As soon as he was about to take a leap in her direction, the girl made direct eye-contact with him and gave him a smirk. Then she opened her mouth slightly, as though she had been waiting for his arrival, and began to speak.

"Hello citizens of Paris." She spoke, her voice enveloping Paris' citizens that were already gathered around the Eiffel Tower to look upon her. It seemed as if she a microphone that was attached to her ear, as he didn't need to use his feline ears to be able to hear her. Soon, more people that were walking past the monument joined the crowd to gather at her feet, staring up at her almost like she was a god. She smirked, continuing with her speech in a commanding, confident voice. "I am Lady Miss Fortune, and I am Paris' most dangerous supervillain." Some whispers emerged from the crowd. She suddenly pointed to him, as everyone followed her point of direction, "I'm not going to be like any of the other villains that have emerged, trying to steal little fragments of Paris' hope. I'm not going to give you false hope…" She paused. "I will destroy Paris." She made direct eye contact with him, giving his green eyes an icy stare.

"How are you going to that with just a costume girly?" Someone chuckled from the crowd, others joining him and chuckling along with him. She smirked devilishly, everyone suddenly stopping laughing, captivated at her reaction to their sarcastic jokes.

"I'm glad you asked, sir." She tossed the remote control as she then whipped her head around to stare at the crowd once again. He caught the remote, fumbling at first, shocked at her sudden actions. "You see, I won't be needing to use lame tricks like that remote other villains would have used to cause destruction. I am destruction itself." She looked among the crowd and then startled everyone as the corners of her mouth rose in a devilish smile,"You must need a demonstration."

With that, she leapt off the Eiffel Tower, grabbing her yo-yo he had seen earlier attached to her hip, as she swung around the upper-half of the monument, until it was completely enveloped. She suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd, grinning, as she pulled slightly at the monument. Nothing happened at first, but as soon as she stood there, letting her yo-yo ravel back to her, the Eiffel Tower began to topple, heading straight for the crowd.

"Whoops." With that, she leapt onto the rooftop next to him in one single, breathless jump, looked over at him, smiled, and began to run away from the scene she had just caused.

Suddenly, he looked back at her only to realize the threat that was looming before him now: If he didn't rescue those people in time, they would be crushed by the monument that had been standing not even ten seconds ago.

Panic shot through his eyes and veins as he leapt down, grabbed his staff, and extended it vertically to hold the remains in place in one smooth action.

"What are you doing?" He questioned the citizens rapidly. "Run!" With that, everyone started to flee from the impending doom they had managed to survive. While he continued shouting to run, as some people were too shocked to even move.

Eventually everyone was out of the way, as he relinquished his staff from the position it was in, and dodged the falling rubble as he rolled to the right.

He didn't look behind him as a huge crash sounded behind his ears, and he knew what he had just witnessed. He got up onto his feet and looked at the scene behind him. The upper-half of the Eiffel Tower remained in pieces on the ground, as he realized that Lady Miss Fortune had just destroyed Paris' signature monument, basically declaring war on all of Paris.

Quickly, he turned around to see if the girl was still there, but he saw that she was no longer running along the rooftops, and had successfully made her escape.

She was so confident in her own abilities that she didn't even need to stay to know that her plan had been successful, he thought, shaking his head. He knew that only a few minutes prior he had been secretly begging for Paris to have a greater threat, but he hadn't expected nor wanted this. Not to mention, the looming threat of it all: She had a miraculous. This would be trouble.

He hadn't noticed it before, but looking back at it she did have a pair of earrings. He had taken a notice to them when she stood beside him for a split second, and those were probably her miraculous. Plus, having the same super-strength and speed that only he had must mean that she a miraculous in her possession.

But, why were the colors the opposite of what they were supposed to be? Guessing by her costume it seemed like she had a ladybug miraculous, but the colors were reversed. Instead of black spots they were red. Instead of the majority of the suit being red the majority of the suit was black. It seemed like she was supposed to embody a ladybug, but maybe it was something else. He had no idea if all the miraculouses were supposed to resemble animals or insects, which was something he had to consult with Plagg later. For all he knew, Lady Miss Fortune could've just had a black and red-spotted miraculous. It also wouldn't have made any sense if she was supposed to symbolize a ladybug as they were considered lucky. But it seemed like Lady Miss Fortune wanted to symbolize anything but luck.

:)

He was sure that circles had already welcomed themselves under his eyes when he heard his alarm go off, even though he had already been awake.

"Plagg, I couldn't sleep at all last night," he moaned. He looked beside him to see the kwami already arched over on top of one of his pillows fast asleep. He nudged his body with his finger ever so slightly, "Plagg wake up we have to go to school."

"Mmm… Adrien I don't wanna, how about you take off of school today. Then you can start investigating that polka-dotted girl, and then I can eat some delicious camembert."

"I would love to do that Plagg… after school. Now get up," he mumbled while shaking Plagg a little more fiercely now. Another grumble emerged from the cat-like creature. "Oh, also Plagg are all the miraculous named after animals or…?"

"No, some are supposed to resemble insects, but I'm pretty sure it's just insects and animals."

"What about Lady Miss Fortune's?"

"Oh… spot girl… from the signals that I was receiving when you were around her, I think she has the ladybug miraculous."

"Yea, I was thinking that too, but weren't the colors messed up?"

"It seemed that way," Plagg grumbled and then added, "Oh yea you guys are supposed to be the yin and yang of the miraculous. Your miraculous is supposed to symbolize destruction and the ladybug miraculous is supposed to symbolize creation."

"Wait what?!"

"The ladybug and cat miraculous holders in the past have always worked together as a team to defeat crime, as you guys balance each other out. It seems that the owner of the ladybug miraculous has other plans though…"

"I'm supposed to have a partner?! Why haven't you mentioned this sooner?" He questioned as he threw his arms up in the air rapidly.

"Oh um… I didn't think it was that important I guess…"

"It's very important! Ugh Plagg just get up we have to go to school," he paused then added, "but we're talking about this later." With a grumble, Plagg flew up and he started to pry himself from his bed and started getting ready for school.

:)

Making his way up the school steps, he instantly was waved over by his two friends: Alya and Nino. While, he was a model and the son of a famous fashion designer he wasn't that popular in school (- this is how you can tell it's a fanfiction bahaha). It wasn't like he was a complete outcast but he also wasn't swarmed with people to his left and right. It had been this way since freshman year, and now that he was a senior it just seemed normal to not gain much attention from his occupation or wealth and he actually quite enjoyed it. Not to mention, he had two great friends.

"Hey guys," he said strolling over to where they were standing.

"Hey dude," Nino replied, "you look exhausted man."

He chuckled, "Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night."

"Was it because of the new supervillain, Lady Miss Fortune?" Alya questioned, peppy and intrigued as usual. "I heard that the Eiffel Tower isn't even cleaned up yet, apparently it's gonna take them a couple more days."

"I mean it wasn't because of the new supervillain, even though it did put me on edge, I just had a hard time falling asleep that's all," he replied softly.

"Dude just make sure not to sleep through Bisset's class cuz he'll give you a detention right away," Nino chuckled punching his arm lightly.

"Yeah yeah, I know," he laughed punching Nino's arm back.

"So… what did you think of Lady Miss Fortune?" Alya asked.

"What's with all these questions?" He chuckled, "You seem to be intrigued by her Alya."

"That's because I am! I mean she looked like she was our age! I wonder who's behind the mask… I might have to do some investigating on my own."

ding! ding!

"Let me know if you find anything interesting," he replied, "C'mon guys let's get to class." With that, he led them up the stairs and into their first class, as they all took their seats.

Eventually, the second bell rung and their physics teacher, Mrs. Arquette, walking towards the front of the class and stationed herself behind the desk.

"Hello everyone, before we start class today I have a transfer student to introduce to you," she gushed smiling.

He felt someone poke his shoulder and turned around as Alya whispered, "Hopefully it's a cute girl so we can go on double dates." She winked at Nino, who sat beside him, as his cheeks were now adorned with a light flush of pink. Alya and Nino had been dating since sophomore year and have been dating ever since, they were practically attached at the hip.

"Alya, you know I have no interest in dating at the moment," he whispered back to her chuckling softly. I don't have time for girls right now…

"Yeah you say that now, but you haven't even seen the student yet… I'm with Alya on this one, hopefully it's a girl," he teased finally returning the wink Alya had given him. The teacher cleared her throat a few times, as all the students turned back towards her, some whispers still being passed around the room.

"You actually may already know of this student," she paused, then waved at the door signaling for the transfer student to come in. The light sound of the door being cracked open was mixed with the light tapping of footsteps as the student turned towards the room to face all of them.

The first thing he noticed was her casual, dusty pink dress that had a sweetheart neckline and her tan sweater cardigan that was overtop of it. She paired the outfit with caramel-brown boots that started at the ankles. Her hair was down and went a little below her shoulders as her porcelain face was decorated by her electric blue eyes. She had a cute button nose that was enhanced by her soft, pale pink lips. She's pretty.

Her lips upturned into a sweet smile as she exclaimed, "Hello everyone, I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" As she finished her sentence, the whole room erupted into overjoyed screams and gasps.

"Is that THE Marinette Dupain-Cheng?!"

"OMG it's Marinette!"

"Can I have an autograph?"

"Would you consider dating me?!"

He felt like he had seen her face before, but he couldn't place it. Suddenly, he turned back towards Alya who was already out of her seat grinning ear to ear. He tapped her shoulder and murmured, "Who's she?"

Alya stammered, "Adrien how do you NOT know who that is?!"

"Don't go teasing him Alya, it's not his fault his father is overprotective," Nino snorted.

"I mean, she looks familiar… I just can't place it," he added.

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng is a famous superstar! She's starred in countless movies, has recorded three albums, and even models! I'm surprised you didn't recognize her automatically seeing as you, too, are a model," she replied. He whipped around to look at the girl again, and that's when it hit him that he had, indeed, seen her in some of his father's ads and magazines for the Agreste fashion company.

"Oh, that's where I recognized her from, I've seen some of her magazines and ads," He muttered.

Alya punched his arm, "Hey, she's pretty maybe the double date thing will work out in your favor seeing as she already knows your father."

Nino added, "Yeah dude, I could totally see you guys being a cute couple!"

"I don't know," he concluded, "I mean yeah she's pretty, but don't you think she's acting… a little fake?" The three of them stared back at her as she continued smiling, signing autographs, and taking selfies, as most of the class had migrated to the front of the room to greet her.

"What do you mean fake?" Alya countered.

"I don't know… I just get a vibe that she's putting on an act," he sighed.

"Well she is a superstar, I wouldn't be surprised if she projects herself a certain way."

"Yeah that's true… I guess I didn't think about that."

The teacher finally interrupted the meet and greet that was currently happening at the front of the room and shouted, "Everyone calm down!" The whole room got quiet. "You can talk to Ms. Dupain-Cheng later in your free time, right now I would like to get started with my class." Everyone stood in their same exact spots, not moving.

"Guys feel free to say hi to me during lunch! But right now, I would love to know where my seat is," Marinette gushed as she beamed another smile. With that everyone went back to their seats, as Marinette turned to look at Mrs. Arquette.

"Hmm…" the teacher turned to look at some papers, evaluated the room, and then pointed towards the open seat next to Alya. "How about you take a seat next to Alya in the back Marinette."

"Ok Mrs. Arquette, thank you!" She smiled again and began strolling up to her designated seats. On her way up, all heads turned towards her as she continued to her destination. Finally there, she slid in right beside Alya.

"Hey there seat partner," she giggled, "you're going to have to help me in this class, I'm terrible at physics."

Alya smiled and laughed, "I gotcha covered girl, but actually Adrien's really good at physics, you might wanna ask him." With that she gestured towards him, as he turned to face her and smiled.

"Yeah, if you need any help, I'm here."

"Great!" She exclaimed. She suddenly looked him up and down and gushed, "Oh wait! You're Gabriel Agreste's son, aren't you?" She looked him straight in the eyes, beaming another smile.

"Yeah, that's my father… You've done some work for him, haven't you?" He questioned.

"Yes I have! In fact, I think I'm going to be modeling for his fall line soon!"

"That's great, I'll have to ask my dad about it, I haven't seen it yet," he added. She smiled at him again and turned to look at the front of the room.

For the whole entire class, the smile never left her face. Her cheerful, bubbly attitude never faltered, and with that his suspicions about her attitude grew. It's like she's giving us a "superstar act" and not her real self… she's a little weird.

:)

After a draining day of school, he was relieved to be back at his house, as he gently pushed open the doors to his house and entered the foyer. He stopped dead in his tracks, as he witnessed his father talking to a certain superstar, whom he had just seen ten minutes ago.

Hearing the door's opening, Gabriel and Marinette both stopped their conversation and turned towards him.

"Hello son, this is Marinette. You two have already might I'm sure," he declared. Marinette donned her bubbly smile and waved slightly.

"Yes father, she's in my class," he replied, lifting his hand and waving gently back at her.

"Mr. Agreste your son is quite the charmer, he told me he'd help me with my physics homework if I ever needed it," she declared, turning back to Gabriel… still smiling.

"It's good to hear that my son doesn't embarrass himself when he's allowed out of the house, now Marinette I think it's time for me to get back to my work. Thank you for stopping by," Gabriel concluded.

"No problem Mr. Agreste, I look forward to the business we'll be doing together in the future," she replied and then sauntered over to the door, "Bye!" With that she smiled and waved to both him and his father, and then left.

"She seems like a fine young lady Adrien, I'm sure that she'll be a good influence on you and the Agreste fashion company."

"Yes, father… I'll be practicing the piano now," he gestured towards his room, waited until his father nodded, and then made his way into the privacy of his room.

Plagg suddenly flew out of his jacket pocket scolding, "Does that girl ever stop smiling? It gives me a headache just watching her." He stopped to float in the air massaging his head with his two tiny paws and then suddenly squeaked, "Which can easily be fixed with camembert." With that, Plagg made his way over to his cabinet where his secret stash of cheese was kept.

"As usual, you only think about cheese," he whined.

"Every problem can be solved with camembert, Adrien."

"Not this Lady Miss Fortune problem…" He murmured.

"The question is, how do you know it CAN'T be solved with cheese?" He sneered from inside the cabinet. With that, he groaned at his furry friend's primary obligations, making his way to the couch and plopping down on it.

"I don't even know where to start with her," he whispered. "I think the best course of action would be to wait her out until she strikes… and then I would capture her." He nods to himself, thinking that this is his best course of action. Then I could thoroughly question her at a police station…

"Hmm… sounds good. It'll be like a game of cat and mouse… if she was a mouse and not a ladybug… or whatever spot girl is…" Plagg babbled in between bites of his staple food.

"Plagg, chew with your mouth closed, I can hear you chewing from here it's disgusting."

"Adrien, I like how you focus on the important things," Plagg retorts. "If you want me to be at my best so we can capture spot girl then you'll let me eat in peace."

Adrien sighed, "Fair point."

:)

At exactly 8:00 at night, his watch beeped and a message appeared on his watch. Quickly, Adrien whipped his head to the side, glancing at his wrist as anticipation began to curl up into his stomach. Someone had just robbed 100,000 euros at a bank near the Louvre. His eyes expanded dramatically as he saw who was behind the robbery: Lady Miss Fortune.

Wasting no hesitation, he leapt up from his seat at his desk and exclaimed, "Plagg, claws out!" The green and black transformation enveloped him, as he welcomed his other persona, a smirk already decorating his face. "Looks like it's time to go up against my most furmidable opponent," he declared as he sprung out the window and started dashing among the rooftops.

As he arrived at the Louvre, he saw and heard nothing. No cops. No alarms. No Lady Miss Fortune to be seen. Suddenly, he heard a slight plop behind him, as he grabbed his stick and viciously turned around to face his opponent.

There she was. She's even more breathtaking in person. She held a smirk and glanced at him rather judgingly, almost scanning his eyes for answers to unknown questions. Just her eye contact sent a jolt up his spine as her electric eyes hooked onto his, almost like she was fishing, and she was waiting to see if he'd take the bait. She didn't move, and she continued staring at him contently, it was obvious she was waiting for him to make the first move.

"Lady Miss Fortune," he suddenly declared, as he reduced the size of his staff and placed it behind his back. She stood there, silent, not saying a word. Abruptly, she took off and started bolting across the rooftops. Almost like she was a magnet, without a second thought, he chased after her.

The whole time his eyes never left her back. I need to catch her. He urged his body to move faster, but it was no use… They were going at the same speed, so they maintained an equal distance.

She whipped around and sneered suddenly, "finally the cat shows up, took ya a while pussycat." With that her hair flapped back towards his direction, and she built up the momentum to increase their distance. Suddenly, anger rose from his toes and covered his whole body as he made his speed increase to try and keep her in his sights. He could already tell that he had underestimated her greatly, and that she was going to be harder to catch then he thought.

She's such a tease. Everytime he got closer to her and reduced the distance, she automatically picked up speed. She always maintained to stay out of his grasp, and he hated it greatly. Shit. This is going nowhere.

Almost as if she had read his mind, she suddenly jumped down to the center of the Louvre and stood, staring at him yet again. This time, he didn't take any hesitation as he stretched his body outwards and grabbed her, sending them flying on the ground at impact.

Their bodies tangled up in each other as they both twisted grabbing onto each other's suits to try and ease the slight pains that brushed onto their exposed skin. In a quick rush, the momentum they had stopped, and Cat Noir laid on top of Lady Miss Fortune in a rather compromising position. Finally realizing the state they were both it, he pushed his body up and pinned her arms to the ground, staring at her like a mad man. But all that she returned was a smile. Damn it, I want to slap that smirk right off her smug face.

"You're really starting to bug me, ya know that," he jabbed.

Her expression faltered into a pout, "Aw, did I make the kitty upset? My bad." He tightened his grip on her arm. He scanned her arms, and deflated a little as he just realized that the crime she had reported to have done was stealing. But, where was the money?

"Where's the cash?" He questioned flatly.

"I furget," she replied, doing her best to shrug her shoulders with her arms held down.

"Oh, you think you're a funny girl… It's not funny."

"What?" She inquired, then suddenly she pushed her mouth to his ear and whispered, "I thought you liked funny girls." Then she laid back down on the ground, and looked right at his eyes once again. He felt his breathing slow, and it just then dawned on him that he had this teenage girl under him, in a rather unfortunate angle. He gulped, trying not to let his mind wander into dangerous territory.

"What are you here for?" He demanded quizzingly. "What's your purpose in sticking around and compromising your position if you've already successfully hid the money?"

"Well you see, I just HAD see Cat Noir, Paris' famous superhero in action," she insisted. "I had to survey my rival."

His sly smirk washed off his face and was replaced with confusion. Why was that her main objective? He hears the sirens in the background that notified him that the police were showing up to their location. Ok, I can ask her questions later, I caught her.

Cat Noir teased, "Well, it looks like 'Paris' famous superhero' is superior to 'Paris' most dangerous villain'".

She laughed and said, "You're funny, and not to mention quite handsome, but you must be pretty dumb to think that I wasn't trying to get caught." He was puzzled even more. "If I wanted to, I could get out of your hold right now, but my true mission was to see Cat Noir in action and see if he really was all that great. The 100,000 euros was just to get your attention." He still looked at her, his confidence diminishing slowly in his gut. She smirked up at him, seeing the effect her words were bringing him. The silence grew louder. Lady Miss Fortune broke the silence by locking onto his eyes, "Well, it's time for me to go, my work has just begun, and it'd be a real shame if the cops were to capture me when I've just committed the first crime." She peered down at his lips and looked back up again, giving him a devilish smile.

In a sudden rush, she brought her lips onto his and sent fireworks to his toes at impact. He grunted, realizing that she was trying to loosen his hold on her by distracting him. That isn't going to work. She slid her tongue on his bottom lip causing him to gasp, as she strategically stuck her tongue into his mouth, exploring every inch of space. Unknowingly, he eased into her kiss and pressed onto her mouth in an attempt to deepen it without replenishing his grip. But slowly he felt the need to touch her, and sure enough, his right hand lifted to try and cup her face.

He felt his head suffer from a whiplash-like speed as he was sent toppling over on the ground, Lady Miss Fortune staring up at him, pinning him down. He yelped at the slight pain that rushed to his exposed neck. She smirked, her plan had worked perfectly. With that, she stood up, in an attempt to make her escape. When swiftly, she whipped her head around to look at Cat Noir once again and waved in a flirt-like fashion, "See you soon, Cat Noir."

till next chapter mwahahaha
