Cat Noir followed those strange humans. The strange man must be an adult while the other was simply like a cub his age. Something wasn't right with that strange old man wandering in the jungle like that.

"From what the journal says, it should be inside that extinct volcano" The man checks a journal.

"Not extinct. Just dormant as in sleeping. Who knows if she'll wake up and vomit lava and fire out" Felix said.

"That would require a strong explosion," His father said.

"This is seriously dangerous to wander in the jungle. We could get lost in there, father" Felix said.

Cat Noir swung from vine to vine and hid in the tree, observing them. Their scent seems different than his own. Nothing like from the jungle.

"We got our way back to the camp, so we should be back safe" Felix's father replied.

Cat Noir couldn't wait any longer to see up very close. So he jumps out of his hiding spot, landing on all fours.

"What the?!" Felix exclaims.

Cat Noir held his spear and walked in circles, sniffing their scent, getting too close to their personal space.

"What the hell are you?" Felix's father asked.

Cat Noir didn't answer as he just looks curiously at the man without respecting personal space. He tilts his head slightly while examining them.

"Get out of my face!" The man yelled but Cat Noir just growled in defense.

"Stand down!" Felix tries to shield his father.

"Grrrrrr!" Cat Noir just growled some more.

"Wait. He looks…..just like you" The father said.

"He does?" Felix looks at Cat Noir. He saw his eyes and hair color were similar but his hair was messier than his own, "Could it be? Adrien?"

Cat Noir sniffed him to make sure this boy is not a threat.

"Okay, easy now," Felix said.

His father stood there, watching the two boys. Cat Noir looks at Felix's hand and pressed his own on his, it was a perfect match that they seem related.

"Who...are...you?" Cat Noir tried to speak fluently.

"You can talk?" Felix said but then moved his father aside from trying to attack this wild teen.

But Cat Noir jumps aside and grabs his father's wrists to stop him, "Are you an adult human?" He asked.

"Yes. And how do you speak our language?" The man asked.

"I...learned from others" Cat Noir nods at the camp.

"Father, look" Felix makes his hair messy and indeed he was right, this was his missing twin brother.

"Adrien? Is it you?" His father looked closely at Cat Noir.

"I'm Cat Noir, not Adrien" Cat Noir said.

"No matter. I'm Gabriel Agreste" Gabriel introduced himself.

"Hmmm….." Cat Noir did not trust this man.

"And I'm Felix" Felix replied.

"And you're not wild like I am. What kind of human are you?" Cat Noir held his spear in defense.

"Whoa, he's definitely raised in the jungle," Felix said.

"Yes, clearly" Gabriel nodded.

"The jungle didn't raise me. The panthers raised me" Cat Noir growled.

"Follow us to the camp, the search has to wait," Gabriel said.

Ladybug was enjoying her gender kind from these strangers. They were giving her a flower makeover for her hair.

"Take a look." Alya hands her a mirror.

Ladybug was then curious about that strange object. Much clear than the reflection in the water.

"Oh, it's a mirror" Alya explained, "Do you have any other name?" She then asked.

"No, I'm just Ladybug," Ladybug said.

"You speak English so well," Juleka said.

"The leopards taught me." Ladybug stood up.

"Leopards?" The teens asked.

"Yes, leopards" Ladybug nods.

"That's awesome, you must have learned a lot to survive." said a teen with cyan green colored hair.

"Who are you?" Ladybug asked.

"I'm Luka, Juleka's brother," Luka said.

Then they heard a human growl and saw it was Cat Noir being very territorial of anyone touching his bugaboo.

"What the hell?" Nino saw him.

"Oh, that's Cat Noir," Ladybug said.

He got close to his mate and snarled at the stranger while nuzzling his face in her hair, "Kitty, calm down. Calm down" Ladybug scratched his chin.

He purred in delight when his bugaboo did that. This always calms him down but he still doesn't trust these strangers that look like him and his mate. They don't look wild.

"Mine only!" He clutched onto her.

"Whoa, he's a very wild one," Nino said.

"And it seems I found my lost twin brother," Felix said.

"Your brother?" They all turned confused.

"Yeah, he does look a bit like me but the opposite of me," Felix said.

"You mean the story of the day your mom and twin brother disappeared?" Alya asked.

"Yes. That story" Felix replied.

"My mom died long ago," Cat Noir said.

"How long?" Felix asked.

"15 years ago. Plagg told me" Cat Noir said.

"Who's Plagg?" Felix asked.

"A panther" Cat Noir explained.

"Ah, a black leopard" Felix said.

"Yes, he raised me," Cat Noir said.

"As a baby, you were raised by a panther?" Alya asked.

"I was also raised by leopards as a baby too," Ladybug said.

"Hmmm….. interesting" Gabriel crossed his arms.

First, they showed the two feral teens some slideshows from a projector they brought and many of the pictures Ladybug and Cat Noir would often imitate each of them, for example, a picture of a couple or simply a man standing. Each time Gabriel tries to explain about the gems, he and Felix are ignored. Nino and Alya taught them some things like about different species and even space through a telescope.

Cat Noir and Ladybug even learned to walk upright properly by imitating the others as well, at one point Cat Noir tries out a bike in the trees. Ladybug became very close to Alya as a good friend and so did Cat Noir with Nino. The two feral teens also had their own private time swinging on vines and got closer to each other's faces.

The next day, Cat Noir really liked the strange food called a croissant and he eat it like an animal instead of a human, "So yummy!" He loved the taste.

Even Ladybug enjoyed the macaroons too like she never tasted something new, "Mmmm… these are so good" Ladybug said.

"Yeah, better than those orange-red fruits," Cat Noir said.

"Utterly ridiculous animals!" Chloe complained.

"Grrrrrr!" Cat Noir growled at her.

"Whoa! Behave yourself!" Chloe yelled.

"Sorry Chloe" Ladybug said.

"You better keep your pet cat on a leash!" Chloe complained.

"He's not used to someone like you," Ladybug said.
