I don't know if Paris has pizza restaurant. If not, I apologize to those who are from Paris.
(Cat Noir's POV)
Time to hunt mice again. I searched deep in the city to find bad guys' hideout, crawling on all fours like a cat and came to an abandoned workshop where I see female thieves in leather catsuits have a very collection of expensive jewelry. Meow! Just what I'm looking for. It's time to steal it from them. There's only one cat in a leather catsuit and that's me.
I stomped on the glass roof, smashing through, and landed with a new pose, startling the ladies. They may have skills but not super agility like mine.
"Meow. I didn't know you ladies are a fan of me." I glanced at their leather catsuits, guns, and one who has a whip.
"This city ain't big for more cats." The leader said.
"This city only allows one cat and that's me, ladies. I'm the cunning, funny, ultra-charming, Cat Noir" I flirted and extended my claws, ready to fight.
"Well let's see how you'll handle the cat ladies!" The leader took out a pair of knuckle dusters with claws.
"My claws are very sharp than the fake ones" I chuckled.
Suddenly, I didn't see a trap and the rope caught my ankle, pulling me and a cat lady jumped to tie my wrists behind my back while I'm hanging upside down.
"Too slow for a man with nine lives, angel face. This is why girls mature faster than boys" She flirted.
Damn it! She has a point there but this man is much like any other man, lady. I chuckled in amusement which got them confused to think I lost.
"Did you forget? I always land on my feet" I said and while I'm distracting them by talking, I used my claws to tear the rope behind my back, "And this is like I'm a bat because I'm hanging upside down. Cats don't do that"
"You think you're so funny, teenager?! I despise brats!" The leader smacked me in the face but that didn't hurt me.
"Uhh, were you a kid once? That would make you a selfish spoiled brat" I taunted her.
"Not anymore, kitty cat. Now prepare to die!" She held a gun near my head.
"I prefer to save my nine lives" I glared and managed to get my wrists free and I flipped in midair, clawing her face before she could shoot. I landed on my feet and hands and saw the painful claw marks on her face.
"Oh, that's gotta hurt. But this is gonna be very painful" I extend my claws.
"GET HIM!" The leader screamed and two cat ladies leaped at me.
I grabbed onto another cat woman and threw her over before I struck the first one and then kicked at the second one. I took the whip from the first one and kicked her away before then grabbing onto a fourth one to knock her unconscious. I cartwheel kicked down another one and then backflipped to knock one down. I then faced the leader and pulled her with my tail and rapidly punched at her.
"Agh!" She stumbled against the wall and fell, "That's impossible! No man has ever beaten us!"
"Then I'm the first." I sneered at her.
I walked up to her and sat down on her stomach, holding her chin to make her look at me, "Hmmm….Those claw marks will become scars. I hope you like the new look I gave you, lady" I said and then removed her knuckle dusters off her hands.
"You're crazy! You're just a child!" She yelled in my face.
"I know but this child got skills that make me a nightmare for people like you," I said.
"You just wait, pussy cat! You'll be buried to death in litter box!" She glared at me but I was not intimidated by that.
I got up and went to the jewelry on the table and looked to see what is valuable. I snatched the jewelry that they stole, "Finders keepers."
"You're a cat burglar than a superhero?!" The leader did not see that.
"Precisely," I replied and tied them all up.
"You're so dead!" One of them woke up from her unconsciousness.
"Not if I can help it!" I ran out.

Later, I was back at my lair and it was almost nighttime. I let Plagg rest since I've been Cat Noir all day and I've looked at the jewelry I stole from the female thieves. So purrecious these jewelry are. Man, it's like catwomen like diamond and shiny things than money.
"Man, if I sold them I'd be rich," I said to myself.
"Yeah, to get your own mansion filled with cats but you're not legally 18, kid," Plagg said and he's right.
"True to that." I agreed.
"Just save them for clothes, food, medicine, and things you need to survive as a civilian" Plagg suggested.
"Yep. Still, I really like meeting my purrincess. She's among the few not afraid of me." I said.
"Plus Luka and Juleka." Plagg added.
"The twins are probably afraid of me. Juleka hates cats" I said.
"Okay then. Never mind." Plagg shrugs it off.
"I'm just being serious on this, Plagg. I have a feeling that Luka knows my identity from the Wishmaker incident" I said and put whatever jewelry is valuable so I can pawn tomorrow morning.
"Like how you remember every hundred times you reset times just to impress Ladybug as Aspik," Plagg said.
"Yeah, I know. I don't need to remember that, Plagg. I was young and stupid" I rolled my eyes and finished the jewelry collection and decided to go out to walk around in Paris as a civilian.
"Ok then." Plagg nods.
But I need a Ducati to drive since I can't let anyone know that I'm Cat Noir, "Plagg, claws out" I transformed and did a wall jump so I can get a better view to find a Ducati to steal. Crawling in the night but it's still dusk and the sky is orange.
I found one and the bad guy doesn't look very tough at all. I jumped down in a kneeling pose and whacked him in the back head with my baton, knocking him out cold. Kneeling down to find his keys in his pocket jacket and stealing his helmet so I can drive as a civilian.
I got on the bike and put the helmet on and drove to a hiding spot, "Claws in" I de-transformed and Plagg hid in my jacket. Even as Adrien, I know a little bit about driving, and hopefully I don't get arrested for driving without a license.
"I better drive casually to not get caught," I said to myself.
"And avoid bikers with guns like last time" Plagg added.
"Yeah, I know." I drove out of the alley and into the street.
I moved to the right to pass the car then get onto the next lane of the road.
I see Ladybug jumping from roof to roof, probably patrolling alone since she has responsibilities. I drove to the next lane to take a left and pulled over to the pizza restaurant to have something for dinner. I put my helmet on the throttles and went inside the restaurant.
It took me some minutes to pick out the pizza I wanted. I have never eaten pizza in a restaurant but this is my first time. I told the waiter I want a cheese pizza to eat. I got to a table waiting for the order while I had a glass of water. From nearby I watched the TV and saw Ladybug from the latest battles with akumatized villains fighting by herself.
"Ladybug sure knows how to handle it," I said and I'm impressed that she's capable of doing it without me. Soon my pizza came.
"Merci," I said and took a bite, famished to have something to eat. I put a napkin on my lap and ripped a piece of the pizza so Plagg can have one, "Plagg, here's a piece for you you" I whispered.
"Thanks." He whispered.
I saw Alya and Nino coming inside and they took a seat behind me. Oh no! I quickly the hoodie over my head so they don't see that I'm really Adrien. Stay calm!
"That was so epic, Ladybug completely owned the villains well by herself," Alya said to Nino.
"Not to mention the footage at the jewelry store showed Cat Noir take down the bad guys. He's one true alpha" Nino said.
"You could say that. The video has gone viral on the blog. Maybe there should be a Cat blog" Alya said, not seeing me.
Cat blog? Hmph! Everyone praises Ladybug than me. Cat Noir is just infamous now as a criminal, why bother a blog on that one? I continue eating just to ignore them about my alter ego but I can't. Maybe when I'm done eating, I'll visit Alya in person. But I can't just scare her because that's gonna permanently strain my reputation. Then again, she was very brave once when she was held hostage by Pharaoh in the past. I gotta find a way not to get my reputation ruined. She is the famous blogger. Perhaps a visit at her place but I gotta make sure she doesn't get frightened by me or alarm her family. She has to be alone in her room.
As I finished eating dinner, I called the waiter for a check. I took out some euros to pay with and left before they could get a glimpse of my face.
"You heard the whole thing, huh? The Ladyblogger probably thinks you're famous as a criminal" Plagg said and I got on the stolen Ducati, putting on my helmet.
"Yup but not as a hero," I replied, driving back to my hideout.
I moved left and right to pass by cars to change lanes. At least I'm getting better at driving at an early age. I came back to my hideout with the bike and parked it inside. Taking the helmet off and got off the bike. Well, at least I improved driving underage. Maybe then, I'll find a way to get my driver's license.
"So now what Adrien?" Plagg asked.
"We wait until everyone is asleep and I talk to Alya," I said.
"Very well. But you're not gonna bring up that you seduced Marinette to her?" Plagg asked.
"Nuh-uh," I replied.
"And you're not gonna seduce Alya, are you?" Plagg asked.
"No, but I gotta stay in character as Cat Noir. I can't show my weakness, Plagg." I said and went to get the cat food kibble bag to feed my cats.
"Come here kitties. Food time." I poured their food into their bowls. They meowed in excitement and walked around my ankles, begging for food.
"There you go." I put the sack aside.
"Just say the words, kitten," Plagg said.
"Claws out" I transformed into Cat Noir and jumped out the window.
Jumping from roof to roof like a cat. Man, I haven't even used my staff because I've been using my claws as a criminal than a superhero. Running on all fours, jumping around until I found Alya's balcony apartment. I checked to see that the lights are off. Good. Time to get Alya to open the balcony door.
I landed on her balcony and knocked before I hid so I can get inside. Alya opened the door and saw no one but she has no idea that I sneaked inside. I see she looked around but could not find who knocked on her balcony door. I stayed quiet until she comes inside.
As she did, she saw my glowing electrical green feline eyes. She was about to scream but I quickly covered her mouth with my hand.
"Shhh….Stay calm, Ladyblogger. I'm not here to kidnap you. I'm here to talk to you. Now be a good girl and cooperate. Got it?" I said with a little seductive tone to keep me in character.
"What do you want Cat Noir?" Alya asked after I let go of her.
"A good question. But let me ask you. You know I'm the infamous wanted criminal, right? Well, everyone thinks I'm heartless. Do you believe them?" I asked her.
"No, how could you be when you beat up those cat women and never use firearms" Alya answered.
I paced around her, "Why would I use weapons when I have claws like a cat? The old me used to use his stick but now as a criminal, he uses his claws. Let's say that bad guys are like my mice that I hunt" I purred to startle her.
"You're not gonna abduct me, are you?" She asks nervously.
I chuckled at what she said, "No, I'm not such a bad guy to do that, Alya. The reason I came here is that I know how much you dreamed of being a reporter and a journalist. Ladybug is a superhero and I'm like a supervillain." I paced around her again so she doesn't try anything to get me off guard, "What if you made a blog of a superhero and a supervillain? After all, subscribers would love to hear your videos about Ladybug and me"
"Well I thought of doing that but not about villains like Shadowmoth," Alya said.
"I'm nothing like that monster, Alya. For you see, I never harm innocents. Think about it. Paris should know I'm not a monster. I hate false rumors. I'll take my leave" I said and walked to the balcony.
"Very well. Good luck." Alya waved goodbye to me.
"And if you change your mind, make sure you get facts first before posting," I said and jumped to the roof.

The next morning, I was gonna rob some black clothes but there was a burglar in the store and everyone was forced to get down because he has a gun. Ladybug might show up but she's too slow probably because of being the guardian. So I guess it's up to me. If Alya is recording this, I hope she knows what she's doing.
"I'm not scared of guns. At all! Are you too scared to talk with my claws?" I extended my claws and got in a fighting pose.
"One more step and you're dead!" The burglar warned me.
"I'll be sure to haunt you for eternity!" I laughed and kicked an object from the shelf aisle and did a spin kick to kick the object at the bad guy which made him drop the gun.
I leaped at him on all fours and rolled over with him before I kicked him up the ceiling. With my cat's speed, I scratched him by bouncing back and forth rapidly like a cheetah and then stomped on his back but not too hard. I don't want everyone to think I went too far. I picked him up roughly and took him outside.
"He's all yours." I handed him to the cops who just arrived.
All of a sudden, they handcuffed my wrists. Are you kidding me now?! These cops have messed with the angry cat.
"You're under arrest, Cat Noir!" Officer Roger said.
I rolled my eyes in annoyance, "Seriously? You just made this cat angry" My pupils went slit as I slipped my hands through the handcuffs, throwing it at the police car window, hard as it shattered, and just as I was about to claw the cops, someone grabbed my wrist and I looked to see it was Marinette.
"Don't do it, Cat Noir!" She begged me.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't? All I did is stop the robber and this is what I get?!" I growled angrily.
"You have every right to be angry at them but hurting them is not a way to solve a problem. You'll later make everyone think you're a killer. Do you really want that?" Marinette begged for me to do the right thing.
I sighed in defeat and glared at the cops, telling them to back off which they did and Marinette released my wrist. Alya recorded everything.
"Fine, but only because you soften me. But if they ever try to arrest me, I won't hesitate to claw them." I said and then went up to Alya who is recording me.
"Attention Paris. I'm not the same superhero I used to be. I'm a lone wolf now and I fight bad guys, not good guys. Believe whatever you want to believe but I'm not a monster. Get your facts first before judging me" I said and pole vaulted away.
Up on the rooftop I gave one more glance at Marinette, she really saved me from being arrested. But she also reasoned with me not to harm the cops just because I lost my temper on them. But then I left the area, my mood for stealing is ruined by the cops. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait until it's night again to steal. I was so close until that robber had to get in the way and I have to save the innocents myself. Perhaps another jewelry shop will do.
