(Cat Noir's POV)
After we ate our morning meals at my lair, I told Fei to stay hidden in the alley while I go find a Ducati to steal so I can show her my city. She thinks I'm crazy to steal a motorcycle but I told her that I have done this a few times before.
I found one who is about to get on but I took out my staff and hit him in the head, hard, knocking him out cold. I rolled him over so I can get the keys out of his jacket pocket and steal two helmets for Fei and myself to be safe. I did a whistle signal for Fei to tell her it's okay to come out now and she saw I knocked out a man.
"What? He's unconscious, not dead. Sheesh," I rolled my eyes and got on the Ducati.
"Since when did you learn to drive bikes?" Fei asked and got on behind me as I handed her the helmet.
"For months of fighting bad guys, I learned how to get away by stealing their bikes. I may be underage but I have driven vehicles before" I put on the helmet that covers my face.
Hopefully, Ladybug can't see us in the city. I start the ignition and Fei put her arms around my waist to hold on. We drove out of the alley and into the streets as I came to the lane that leads to the traffic lights. I have to act casual and not run into red lights, yield signs, or stop signs.
Once it turned green we kept driving. I changed lanes to get around this slow-moving car and Fei seems to enjoy the ride a little, despite how young I am to drive underage.
"Doing well back there?" I asked her.
"Good so far" She replied.
"That's good. And from our left is the famous cathedral known as Notre Dame" I said like a world tour to her as we drove past the church.
"Wow, cool" She looked at it.
I turned to the left so we can see the side of the church, "Well this Cathedral was built around 1163, So it's around 858 years old" I said.
"And still standing," Fei said.
"Yep" I nodded, then we drove to the Eiffel Tower.
"And this was made around 1887, it was kept as a tourist attraction since then and a symbol of Paris," I said.
"Interesting." Fei looks at it.
As I continue on, I showed her the Lourve, Arc de Triomphe, Place de Vosges, the cafe, and the famous places in the city. I don't see any akuma on the run. That's good because I can't let Fei put herself in danger like this. I'm a really good tour guide for her too in a way.
While showing everything, it took us 30 minutes to get to the airport so she can head home as a stowaway.
"Thank you for riding Cat Noir Airway, we hope you enjoyed the ride" I teased her and she laughed.
"Thanks, Cat Noir, I really had fun. For a criminal you sure gave ways of showing your soft side" Fei said and removed the helmet off.
"You're welcome, Fei. Hope you'll have a nice flight." I said.
"I will and I hope someday you'll find a way to defeat your father. Just don't kill him please" Fei said with worry.
"I won't kill him, but I will find a way to get both his miraculouses" I assured her.
"Good kitty. Someday you'll find the answers to why he became more than just a madman. Don't let revenge cloud your mind" Fei said.
"Got it" I nodded and I saw her change into Lady Dragon and she turned into a mantis to sneak on board the plane.
I drove back to the city and decided to pay a visit to my father again, only this time at the daytime. Felix must be photo shooting right now. Puuuurrrrfect. I ditched the Ducati and jumped up on rooftops to get to the mansion. Fei once taught me that revenge has no place in justice. I hope he's in his office.
I found the mansion and came to my parents' balcony and landed, using my claw finger to draw a circle on the glass to make a hole, and reached the doorknob from the inside to unlock it.
Once inside, I had to be very stealthy like a cat by crawling on all fours to find my father. Walking out of the bedroom and into the halls to head downstairs to the office and spotted him. He didn't notice me but I took a seat at the desk where Nathalie always sits to check the security cameras from outside the mansion. Putting my feet's on the desk like a bad boy I am and letting out a cat meow to get my father's attention.
"Adrien?!" He saw me at Nathalie's desk and my feet on the desk.
"Hello, father. Miss me? Of course, you don't" I said coldly with an evil tone in my voice, "Sending Mayura yesterday was such a waste of your time"
"And I heard you teamed up with the Chinese heroine as well," He said.
"Temporary, father. As I remember the time you tried to steal the prodigious. It seems we both are criminals after all. I steal to survive, you like to steal miraculous for power, don't you?" I saw Nathalie on the security camera footage coming this way as I hit the lockdown button for only the office as the metal steal lockdowns came down on windows and doors.
"What do you think of the now cat burglar, father? Do you miss your puuuurrrrecious and innocent Adrien I used to be? That I was once naive and stupid that you lied all along about your 'busy' schedules of terrorizing Paris? Framing my friends as a bad influence? Playing with my guilt? I can go on, father. And don't even think about bringing up my mother as a stupid excuse or I'll claw your face and eyes" I extend my claws as I got off the seat.
"You wouldn't dare hurt me!" My father backed off.
"Oh, you're one to talk! Just like you hurt me by grounding me for something that seems out of line! You don't know the meaning of hurt, father." I took out a pistol gun from my catsuit pocket. I'm not gonna kill him but just to intimidate him.
"Isolation and anxiety can sometimes make a person go insane if they give up. You knew that if you played with my guilt, you would've akumatized me but I'm a very strong man" I made him back away against the portrait of mother and I put the gun near his head, "Fathers don't manipulate their sons, father. Especially like you did in New York when you were the one who nearly put everyone and me in danger by akumatizing a villain. You're so blameless" I glared and I can sense his fear. Good. How does it feel to be scared?
"Adrien, don't!" He trembled.
What a coward. So scared of death waiting for him. Does he really think I would shoot him? Wrong? I'm not a murderer.
"Yeah, that's right. That's the kind of feeling I felt, father. Remember how you grounded me for losing that spellbook? I bet you akumatized yourself as Collector just so you can take your anger out on me. Tell me, father? What does fear feel like to you?" I asked with a Cheshire grin.
"It's like a knife striking my heart," He said.
"Exactly, father. That's exactly how I felt when you blame me for everything but yourself. You're not the father I know anymore. I don't even know what real fathers are supposed to be to their sons and daughters. You made me insane the day I discovered who you really are!" I sweep kick him down and make my way to Nathalie's desk to type the keyboards to turn off the emergency lockdowns as the metal lockdowns went up.
"Just remember, father. This Adrien you once knew is no longer the Adrien you know anymore" I shot the windows and it shattered into shards. Jumping up and crouched like a cat as I looked back at father.
I put my gun in my pocket catsuit and jumped off from the window.

That night, I'm at the nightclub drinking milk again while Volpina is just annoying me as usual. I don't know why she comes to this nightclub.
"Stalking as usual?" I said without looking at her.
"Foxes stalk at night, handsome" Volpina chuckled and took a seat next to me and told the bartender to give her White Russian with no vodka or ice.
"So been out dirt biking?" She joked.
"No, just getting my claws done," I said sarcastically as I took another sip of milk.
"Okay then" Volpina shrugs and drinks her White Russian.
"And I know you like to lie and that's what you're good at. So don't even try to fool me, vixen. I hate liars" I took another sip of milk again.
"I know you like my company here in this club," Volpina said.
"Only because you're persistent," I said.
"Not my fault you have such charming hair like a prince, kitty cat" Volpina making fun of my masculine ponytail.
"Stop that" I flicked her hand away.
"I'm giving my opinion" Volpina being a liar as always.
"Is that so?" I ignored her.
"You think I'm lying?" Volpina snickered.
"I know you too well," I said.
"You barely know me as Volpina, Cat Noir" Volpina corrected me.
"But your lying habit is so obvious on you, villain or not villain," I said.
"And your cat puns are so obvious, Cat Noir" Volpina took a sip of her White Russian drink.
"Well yes. I love doing them" I said.
"You haven't made a pun for months, cat. Even as a criminal you're still lurking around like a savage cat thirsty for blood" Volpina said.
"You've been spying on me, were you? Have you ever heard of personal privacy?" I glared at her face.
"Yup. Shadow Moth is so obvious that you're becoming quite insane when you like to taste blood from bad guys. Gross." Volpina made a disgusted look.
"Oh, too bad. Get used to it, fox. I'm a cat and cats are always gonna taste blood from mice, rats, and whatever prey they bite or claw on. Sheesh. Study about cats next time" I said and kicked her stool that made her fall on her back.
"AAAGH! OW!" Volpina rubs her hip in pain.
"Oops, I think your seat snapped" I snickered and took my sip of milk to finish, "Who's the best nocturnal animal, Volpina?"
"Owls have better senses than cats you know" Volpina stood up.
"And cats eat birds, Volpina. Never forget that." I held her chin roughly and aggressively, "Next time, better watch your back. If you ever hurt one of Adrien's friends again, I'm gonna hunt you down. Better be nice to your classmates one of these days or face my deadly claws" I chuckled evilly and let her go.
"Alright. Sheesh!" Volpina groaned.
"Was that so hard to listen to the cat, vixen? Of course, it is. See ya" I made my way to leave so I can meow in the night just like a wolf does on the full moon.
That loud meow was enough to echo among the buildings.

After feeding Plagg due to the long transformation again, I found Marinette's balcony and I tapped on the trapdoor for her to hear me. She opened the trapdoor and lets me in as I hopped down on her loft bed.
"Meow. So nice of you to let a street kitty inside, my purrincess" I flirted.
"Hmph! You wish, wild cat. You'll just scratch my bed with your claws if I let you take a cat nap" Marinette playfully threaten me.
"Meowch. You wound me, princess. Save my nine lives" I pretend to collapse on her bed like I'm dying.
"Even as a criminal, you got one heck of a humor" Marinette laid next to me, playing with my golden bell.
"Puuurrrrhaps I do, purrincess. I'm feeline hilarious than I used to be" I said with a few puns that made her not laugh.
"Jeez, your puns are awful, Cat Noir" Marinette pouted.
"Everyone loves puns," I said.
"Maybe not everyone, kitty cat" She stroked his hair.
"Still liking my new haircut?" I asked her.
"It's like you got twin-tails" She giggled.
"Hilarious. But at the end of the year, it's back to my original hairstyle. This cat is becoming very wild and untamed" I chuckled and played her pillow cat.
"Not to me" She joked.
"Ooh, tell me why, purrincess" I flirted.
"You wouldn't hurt innocent little me," Marinette said.
"That's true because every hero has a woman guiding him. Well, in this case, a criminal has a woman guiding him" I corrected myself but also thought of something, "And a princess always has an animal sidekick. A kitty cat, my lovely purrincess" I held her close and licked her cheek seductively like a bad kitty I am. Marinette giggled when I did this.
