By the time I defeated the Akuma, I had to rush home, or I would be late. Because, unfortunately, I'm not just Chat Noir, guardian of Paris, granted freedom in return for dealing with Satan herself, I'm also Adrien Agreste, teenaged boy with too Much responsibility.

Okay maybe I'm a bit harsh on Scarlett. She's probably not Satan.

But I wouldn't be surprised if she was the Anti-Christ.

Other than Hawkmoth, Scarlett singlehandedly causes the most problems in the entirety of Paris. She angers reporters by skipping out of interviews, "accidentally" destroys statues of herself that she thinks look bad, and will anger people, just so that she can get more came from fighting an Akuma.

And let me just say, she has no idea how to deal with fans.

She's absolutely horrible with people.

I mean, I was HOME-SCHOOLED, and I have better social skills than she does.

I've been able to talk down a few akuma, while she just screams and calls them idiots for letting their emotions get to them.

So yeah, I'm kinda done with her.

Extremely done.

Maybe I have too high of standards for superheroes, but I wouldn't even get along with Scarlett as a person.

Shes the worst.

And honestly, I don't even think she should be a hero.

Maybe that's a little harsh, but heroism involves kindness. Its not just about rescuing people from disaster.

A real hero helps people, not for fame or popularity, but simply because they want to make the world a better place.

Scarlett doesn't.

I know that something is wrong.

The miraculous are supposed to go to those who are "pure of heart," but Scarlett is quite possibly the most self obsessed person I know. (I've never had to deal with her and Chloe in the same place, so I can't say for sure)

We simply aren't compatible. Not as partners, not as a team.

Either I shouldn't be Chat Noir, or her miraculous went to the wrong person.

For once, Plagg and I agree that it's probably the second one...

Because I'm not that bad at being Chat Noir, right?

I mean Scarlett says I'm useless... but I help.

I think.

I need a break from her.

If I have to hear her annoying voice again today, I swear, I will-

Fuck. My phone is beeping, with that special alarm.

Another Akuma.

I wonder what would happen if I didn't show up... she might actually have to fight. Ha! I can't imagine her chasing anything in those boots. And what if she got hit by the akuma? She'd be more outraged than my father during fashion week 2012.

Actually that's would be pretty funny to watch. Maybe then, everyone would see how little she does.

Not that I need more attention. I just want a better partner. I know she's out there somewhere, and maybe if she sees how incompetent Scar is, maybe she will step up and stand equally with me.

Nah, if I let Scar get hurt, she will probably turn it against me.

Even though I hate her, I can't let Paris fall into ruin.

And she can't protect it, on her own.

But neither can I.

I did talk to Plagg earlier, and he said he might be able to help me.

If we can get footage of how little Scar is helping, the master of the miraculous May be able to send out another one to help.

Or, Plagg says I can go petition him directly after the battle.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with that option. I need all the help I can get.

"Claws Out!"
