(Cat Noir's POV)
It's been two hours since that incident and I was not happy at all. I saw the video on my baton that Alya posted and she got her facts really good this time. Unlike last time she forgot to get her facts the day I became a criminal.
Right now, I'm at the roof building, sketching the Eiffel Tower in my sketchbook just to clear my mind and forget about my anger on the cops. They better not arrest me again because I just did their job of stopping a robber.
I heard a yo-yo swish and I just focused on sketching rather than looking at milady behind me, "Hello bugaboo. I assume you saw the blog. I'm not in the mood to talk about it" I said coldly and added details of the sky.
"I understand Cat Noir. I should have been there." Ladybug said.
"Let me guess, being the guardian is a lot of work and responsibilities? Of course, it is" I scoffed and added the texture of the rails of the tower in my sketch.
"Yes. But it's also exhausting for me to work alone." Ladybug said and she then noticed the sketch, "And you got yourself a hobby."
"Mmhmm. It keeps me sane." I said and put my signature of the cat paw print since I finished.
"Nice job kitty." She then said.
"Thanks." I said and put my sketch in my backpack, "You gonna stop me from robbing later at night? You know you can't get past this sexy cat filled with dangerous looks" I chuckled evilly and looked at her.
"You'd probably seduce me like you did to Purple Tigress." Ladybug said.
"Part of my charm, bugaboo. By the way, why did you send Purple Tigress to stop me? Is it because you think I have a little crush on her?" I asked.
"Well to see how you could handle her." Ladybug said.
I rolled my eyes and took out a can of tuna to eat, opening the can lid with my sharp claws, and took ate a chunk of tuna meat.
"Just because she's a tiger and I'm just a black cat? Bugaboo, you should know that black cats are often a symbol of Halloween or witchcraft. The symbol of bad luck, particularly if one walks across the path in front of a person, which is believed to be an omen of misfortune and death." I chuckled while eating.
"I know. Witches have them often." Ladybug said.
"And I prefuuuurrrr to be alone, not be with a witch. This is why I'm bad luck and no matter how many times someone stops me from robbing, I always win. Wild cats don't like to be tamed" I smirked and tossed the empty can aside, not caring.
"I know. But you harmed me in the early start of your bad cat career." Ladybug said.
"You were in my way, milady. You thought I was Copycat. You should know that good turns bad, bad turns good. Good and bad can come from anywhere and anytime" I crossed my legs in Indian style while looking at the Eiffel Tower.
"Yes. But like I've said, fighting villains alone is exhausting." Ladybug said.
I sighed in annoyance, "Do you really need my help with fighting akumatized villains?"
"What if I die in a fight?" Ladybug raised a brow at me.
That got me growling as I pulled her to make her sit on my lap. She squealed when I did that but I put my finger on her lips to shush her, "I'm not gonna let that happen to you, bugaboo." I said and unzipped my bell zipper, slowly.
"What are you doing?!" She saw and thought we were gonna make love but that's not what I'm gonna do.
As I revealed my partial pecs, I put her hand on my chest for her to feel my heartbeat, "What do you feel, milady?"
"A faint heartbeat, kitty." She said.
"What else?" I made a purring noise so she can feel the vibration from my chest.
"I can hear you purr." She smirked.
"Mmhmm. My heart always purrs for you, milady." I said but then looked away from her, "But not anymore. For you see, I closed my heart so I don't feel love ever again. Criminals don't feel love" I said and moved her hand away from my chest and I zipped my zipper up.
"Some do." Ladybug replied.
"Some do not. Love is just a ridiculous fantasy to me" I moved her off my lap, stood up and grabbed my backpack.
"You'll never know." Ladybug said and left.
I shook my head that she doesn't understand the same way I don't understand her perspective. That's another reason I should never feel love in my heart ever again but deep down, I care for innocents. Even if they hate me, I would never show them who is the boss. But she's right Paris is defenseless without heroes. Like the time I first met Scarabella, I was angry that Ladybug didn't tell me but I realized that Paris is always gonna need heroes.
She gave me her word she would never leave me. But would she break her promise that I'm a criminal? No matter how hard she tries to bring me back to the good side, I'm not going back to being a superhero. Not as long as my father knows who I am now.

Night came and I made my way to my unfinished business. The store that I was supposed to rob hours ago. I need black clothes and some accessories too. I scratched the glass door into a circle and made a hole, putting the circle glass aside, and made my way through the hole.
"Now time for night shopping," I said to myself and destroyed the security cameras with my extended stick so that no one will see what I stole. I can't let anyone get suspicious of what I'm wearing as a civilian. With that out of the way, I went to the men's pants section and I see plain black and leather ones. Hmm…perhaps I might need a biker disguise; I grabbed 3 leather pants and 5 plain black ones. I checked the sizes on them and they were exactly the ones I'm looking for.
"Puuurrrfect" I smirked and went to the shirt aisle. I might need long sleeve shirts to hide my tattoo in public. They're all gonna think I'm very young to have a tattoo. Well, given I'm 14 years old.
I found a long sleeve black shirt with a purple wolf logo, "This looks cool." I grabbed it.
I looked through more and found a sleeveless shirt with a skull logo. That's definitely purrrfect for my goth style. I'll take this one too.
After that, I went to the accessories like earrings, black nail paint, Latin cross necklaces, and so forth. I'm gonna need something to disguise myself as a real goth punk. Hmm…do goth boys wear black eyeshadow? That would be weird. I decided to skip that. I simply grabbed a Latin cross necklace, skull rings, earrings, and black nail paint and stuffed them in my backpack. Shoes I'm gonna just in case one gets worn out again. I grabbed 3 pairs of black converse sneakers.
"There, night shopping is done," I said to myself.
"Nice seeing you this late at night rob shopping, kitty" Ladybug was at the entrance door. I knew she was gonna stop me again.
"Hey, bugaboo. Sorry, this store doesn't have red color for you. Black is my thing" I flirted with her.
"Not my style. I'd rather not be a punk ladybug." She joked.
"Aww…my bugaboo doesn't wanna be a bad girl? Where's the fun in that?" I teased her.
"I'm not here to fight you, Cat Noir." Ladybug replied, "But I can tell your flirty attitude is still there."
"Meow. Are you attracted to my flirty attitude, Ladybug?" I paced around her and then held her chin to make her look at me, "Pity, you always get annoyed whenever I flirt with you all the time"
"I still call you Kitty" Ladybug scratched my chin.
I purred from that but I pinned her against the wall and she wrapped her legs around my waist. You really need to stop doing that, milady.
"Next time, call me a bad boy or a bad kitty. Maybe then if you saw me without my mask, you wouldn't resist how sexy and handsome I am as the real me" I grinned and licked her cheek.
"Right, my bad kitty." She blushed.
"Such a shame we could've been a cute couple but you always don't want that. You always care about yourself" I moved her legs off my waist and made my way to leave.
"I care for your safety, bad boy." Ladybug walked out and ran the opposite way.
Sheesh, she never gives up on meeting up with me.

The next day, I'm now wearing a black sleeve shirt with a wolf logo, black leather fingerless gloves, black jeans, and black sneakers. I even wore a catholic silver cross necklace too.
Right now I'm combing my hair and cutting the snips off my hair since they've been growing a little longer for months. While looking in the mirror, I carefully cut the ends of my hair. Man, I never realized how much my hair grew. I sure now look much different than I used to be.
"You should've let your hair grow. That way no one would know you're the real Adrien" Plagg suggested but I shook my head.
"No way. I like my real original hairstyle." I said and did one last snip near my back neck.
"Very well then." Plagg gave up.
I combed my hair to get rid of the knots and straighten them well. I looked down on the ground to see all the snips of hair I cut. I just swooped them away using a broom.
"So what's next on your schedule, kitten?" Plagg asked as I sweep the mess out the door.
"I have no idea but I like to visit my princess to see how she's doing," I said.
"As Cat Noir or like this?" Plagg guessed.
"Cat Noir. She has to believe that Adrien disappeared. She can't know that I'm the new me. I don't want to put her in danger" I said, going up to the cat food kibble bag to feed my cats.
"Eat up my kitties," I called for them once I poured in their bowls. They all meowed in excitement and walked up to their bowls to eat.
"Guard my lair for me, my kitties. Plagg, claws out" I transformed and head out the window to pole vault from one roof to the other.
It didn't take long to find her balcony for 7 minutes. Meow. My purrincess has left the trapdoor open for me? Such a sweet girl to let a street cat to come in.
"Meow," I spoke out once inside.
"Hey there Cat Noir." Marinette saw me.
"My purrincess, your prince in leather armor has arrived. Do you miss your favorite bad kitty?" I flirted with her.
"And I thought you said there was no love in your heart. That's what Ladybug told me." Marinette said.
"I did and I'm just being very prince char-meow-ing to you" I kissed her back palm, "However, your beauty is so mysterious" I purred.
"Well yeah. I just miss Adrien. I just hope he's safe where ever he is. Some say he ran because of him being done with his father's demands." Marinette said.
"Marinette, I'm sure he's alright." I went to comfort her.
"Have you seen him anywhere?" She asked with concern.
"It's hard to say, he might be in disguise to not be recognized. But I understand you're depressed over his disappearance." I said, hiding the fact I'm him.
"I can't imagine him being out there full of danger. Half of Paris thinks he's dead but I know he's alive. Gabriel declared he disappeared and that he replaced him with Felix as the new model." Marinette slumped her face on my shoulder.
That so-called father never even showed care about his son to have disappeared to the public. It's no wonder he's been a madman for too long.
"You and Adrien must have been really close friends." I hugged her.
"Mmmhmmm." Marinette nods.
I still remember the times we hung out as friends. My little lady, I miss those times too. Especially how clumsy you are, that's what I like about you.
"Should I just move on?" Marinette asked me.
No! Don't move from me, princess. Deep down I care about you. What am I saying? This is her life now. In the next couple of years, everyone is gonna forget about me.
I decided to tell her this to not forget about me, "I think you should keep thinking about him. Everyone needs to remember the ones they were friends to."
"How can I when he disappeared? He always wanted friends from the beginning. I feel sad for him that his father is so strict with him. Especially the time he made Adrien leave us behind in New York. I saw the look on his face that he felt guilty for something he never did." Marinette had tears streaming down.
"Some father he got. No boy should be treated like that." I said, still feeling mad about all the lies my father has brought to me but hid it while comforting Marinette.
"I have a feeling he wanted to run away because he can't take it anymore with his father. It's like he wanted to be free and make his own life than listening to his father telling him what's best for him when technically, it tortures him mentally" Marinette hugged me, crying quietly.
"Yeah. But Marinette, never give up hope." I tried to encourage her. I pulled her close to let her calm down and possibly sleep. As much as I wanna tell her I'm Adrien, I can't cause her pain.
"You may be a criminal but you have a heart of gold." Marinette smiled a little.
"The reason I'm nice to you is that you remind me of my mother. Don't ask why but you really do" I said, waiting for her to calm down from all that crying.
"Really?" Marinette looks up.
"Yes." I nodded.
