Adrien dropped onto his bed with a thud, Plagg wiggled out of his shoulder bag and sat on the pillow yawning loudly.
"Are you going out on patrol tonight kit?" Plagg asked curiously and Adrien considered how exhausted he felt, but compared it to how he felt when he became Chat Noir and pushed himself to his feet.
"Yeah, I think I need to run free." Adrien ran his fingers through his hair as Plagg floated in front of him, green eyes shining in understanding.
"Be free kit,"
"Plagg claws out!" Adrien punched his fist out and let out a sigh of relief as power and energy washed over him as he transformed into Chat Noir. Adrien stretched his arms above his head as he leapt out of his bedroom window and raced across the rooftops of Paris.
Adrien laughed feeling free as he did a couple of summersaults across the roofs and flung himself about. Adrien perched on top of the Notre Dame and just surveyed Paris taking in the peaceful nature of the city for once.
"It's peaceful out, maybe no Akuma's will attack tonight." Adrien hummed, ears twitching before an explosion went off in the distance.
"Maybe not," Adrien used his bo staff to launch himself towards the explosion. Adrien spotted Ladybug whipping her yo-yo around and Adrien tensed as he readied himself to spring into action.
Adrien froze when suddenly spotted a figure in black, flying around with a familiar bo staff.
"What?" Adrien whispered in shock and confusion as he watched a Chat Noir fought side by side with Ladybug.
"She saw through my last Chat Noir copy before, but this Akuma is much more powerful," Hawkmoth spoke from Adrien, who spun around with his bo staff at the ready.
"What did you do Hawkmoth?" Adrien spat as he tightened his claws around his staff, glaring at the masked man.
"Proving a point, as you can see Ladybug does not need you. That Akuma Chat Noir is a mere shadow of the power you are capable of, yet she does not see a difference as she takes the spotlight." Hawkmoth's lips curled as he spoke and Adrien couldn't help but glance over to the battle and winced as he saw the Chat Noir copy be batted aside uselessly and stayed out of the way as Ladybug bounced around, trapping the Akuma with ease.
"She also has help nowadays does she not? Does she truly need Chat Noir anymore?" Hawkmoth commented as Rena Rouge, Queen Bee and Carpirse joined the fight and the four miraculous users fought in unison while the Chat Noir copy stayed out of the way.
"They do need me, the real me…" Adrien hated how his chest twisted at the sight of his friends, his fellow heroes fight the Akuma without him and he swallowed hard.
"Do they though? I need you Chat Noir, I need your help in a way they don't." Hawkmoth was standing in front of Adrien now. Adrien took a step back in shock, eyes widening and he couldn't lift his arm to swing his staff at the villain.
"Get away from me Hawkmoth," Adrien growled before he took another step back with a gasp when a black butterfly fluttered towards him.
"No, no! Get away from me!" Adrien shouted in panic as he swiped his staff and claws at the butterfly before crying out when the butterfly disappeared into his bell. Adrien curled around himself, grabbing at his arms as he fought back against the dark powers that flooded him, it was addictive and he could see why the Akuma's they fought were so powerful.
Adrien let his hands slide down his arms as he sank to his knees as he mentally apologized to Plagg as his will gave up when he got another shot of his friends defeating the Akuma without him even without his copy.
"Welcome Chat Blanc,"
