My excitement didn't waver the rest of the day. Not even homework or bullying could drag me down from this idea that tonight I would be patrolling with Ladybug and Chat Noir. I knew that at least from Ladybug, it would be more of an interrogation, but I didn't care. I would be spending time with them, getting to know them more, showing them that I can help.

At a quarter till eight, I transformed and rushed to the Eiffel Tower, bounding up the side of it with ease. I perched myself up at the top and waited for Chat and Ladybug to make their way here, humming softly as I waited. I swung myself in lazy circles around the very tip, holding on with one hand and holding the other out to balance me. I was humming "Singing in the Rain" and wasn't very focused on my surroundings.

"All you need to complete that song is for it to start raining."

I let out an undignified yelp and jumped a few feet into the air, my hair standing on end as I grabbed the tower to keep my balance. I'm fairly certain my tail puffed out and a growl slipped from my throat as I looked at the laughing black cat before me, my cheeks slowly getting hotter as the superhero laughed. "Oh my god, Wolven! I didn't think I'd scare you!"

"Chat Noir... I'm only giving you one warning. Do that again and I will knock you unconscious." I growled, swatting at him as an almost playful gesture as he finished laughing, a large grin still on his face and his green eyes shining bright.

"Sorry, sorry. I couldn't help it. It's really nice to see you so relaxed and unfocused, actually." He took the position I had previously been in, his own tail swaying lightly in the breeze. I was thankful most of my skin was covered by clothing, since this was not the best time of year to be exposing skin. I was also very glad I had very real ears and tail, and something that wasn't skin tight, because while it made Ladybug and Chat Noir look sexy, I would have been much too self conscious to do anything helpful, and this was much more my style.

I tilted my head to the side slightly. "What do you mean? There's no way you really know what I'm like when you've only seen me during fights that probably take ten minutes each."

He shrugged and grabbed his tail, twirling it as he looked around for a certain spotted hero. "Well, you always seem tense and a little too focused during battles. You were so focused today that I had to physically pull you away from the fight, and your miraculous almost broke." As if to make a point he swung his body closer to me and with his free hand grabbed my necklace, examining the new chain I had put on earlier. I leaned back and tried to ignore the heat rising in my face from how close we were. I had no reason to be blushing.

He studied my miraculous with so much intensity, my heart started racing and I was sure something on me would burst into flames, be it my heart, shirt, face, or my miraculous. "Can you explain to me how this works, Wolven?"

I blinked and looked at him in the eye as he lifted his face up to look at mine. "What are you asking about?"

"Your miraculous. Why does it have two pendants with a different design each?"

I studied my miraculous from his hand, looking at the larger pendant with five black stripes running through the wolf image diagonally, then at the smaller dark blue pendant with a three small silver moons on it. "Oh... That's because of my power... I'll tell you about it when Ladybug gets here since it'll be easier to explain." He nodded and his ears perked up a second before the rest of his body did, causing him to move away and look into the distance. "Speak of the bug." He mumbled before grinning and waving. Ladybug soon joined us on the tower and she smiled at Chat.

"Evening, Milady." Chat purred, swinging himself a little closer and trying to look flirtatious. "Good evening, Chat." She giggled kindly, before her gaze turned to me and became a glare.

"Alright, first thing, what were you thinking out there today?! Your miraculous was almost clawed off and taken by Hawkmoth!" She snapped, her face twisting into an angry look. It was something that didn't sit well on her features.

"It was my second time fighting, alright? I got lost in the adrenaline. It won't happen again."

"That's no excuse! You need to pay better attention to your surroundings!" I frowned slightly as she spoke. When did she decide she had to tell me what to do? Just because I was new at this didn't mean she could yell at me.

"Hey, I don't take kindly to being yelled at. You can't tell me your miraculous hasn't almost been caught before!" I snapped, locking my feet in place and crossing my arms in front of my chest carefully so I don't fall off. "Also, I wouldn't mind if we went somewhere we could stand more comfortably, thank you."

She huffed and glared even more at me. "Fine, this way." With that, she threw her yoyo and swung away towards the rooftops. Chat looked at me worriedly. "Um... Are you sure fighting with her is the smart thing to do? Ladybug can get pretty stubborn and scary when angry."

I shrugged lightly again. "Like I said, I don't take lightly to being snapped at. While I can, I'm going to defend myself."

Chat nodded and glanced over to where Ladybug was, tapping her foot impatiently. "Do you have a way to get over there quickly?" I nodded and smiled. "Yeah. I think so... Still working out the kinks of it, honestly." I shifted my weight around slightly and prepared to jump from the tower, waiting for the mechanism in my boots to charge up.

"What kinks?" Chat asked, looking genuinely curious as he held his staff, ready to extend it as he pushed off the side of the monument.

"Well, I can't control it some times, which kind of sucks." With that, I leap off the side of the tower, soaring through the sky before landing on the nearest rooftop. As my feet landed I ran across the rooftop, hearing a cheer and laugh from Chat behind me as we began to run towards Ladybug, who looked rather inpatient since she had been kept waiting. A few times I leapt the large gaps between buildings, I almost missed and had to grab onto the edge of the roof to stop myself from falling, but for the most part I was actually doing pretty good. I haven't been launched into any trees yet, and I haven't fallen more than a few centimeters. As I was about to jump the last gap between me and Ladybug, I felt like something wrong clicked in the boots and when I jumped, I overshot the rooftop, yelping as I tumbled onto the roof a few feet behind Ladybug, tucking myself in a ball to protect myself. The moment I feel myself hit tile I uncurl and start scrambling back up the side of the roof, trying to get a good handhold.

"Wolven!" The other heroes call out, and I feel small, latex covered hands wrap around my wrists and pull me up the rest of the way. I looked up and saw Ladybug pulling me to my feet, making me feel more embarrassed than I already was. My cheeks were flushed and I looked away from them as Chat came over, the worry in his eyes a lot more evident than I was comfortable with seeing. Apparently all I seem to be good at is making people worry.

"What happened? You just shot past me and almost tumbled to your death!" Ladybug asked, shock in her voice as she let go of my wrists. I looked over the edge and shrugged. "Actually, it looks more like I almost tumbled to my broken leg or arm."

"You get what I mean!"

Once again I shrugged, hesitantly glancing up at Chat from behind my bangs after looking at Ladybug. "My boots clicked weird... I can't control them well yet, so they either overshoot me or I fall short. They happened to overshoot me this time. Sorry."

Ladybug sighed before shaking her head and smiling. "No need to be sorry."

"Yeah, not everyone is purrfect at the start. It takes practice." Chat smiled reassuringly, patting my head and ruffling my hair in-between the ears that magically appeared on my head. Unlike Chat Noir's, they were as real as real could get due to magic, and it made me rather happy to felt Chat rub between them like one would a dog. I leaned into his touch, closing my eyes for a moment and opening them again to look at that smile he was giving me. It looked so familiar... Like I had seen it before. I couldn't place where I had seen it before in my head, though.

"Right... Anyway, shall we continue your interrogation, Ladybug?" I ask, moving away from being underneath his touch. I caught him frowning for a brief moment out of the corner of my eye, but I proceeded to ignore it, focusing on red and black spotted hero in front of me.

"It's not an interrogation!" She sighed, crossing her arms over her chest, before asking her question anyway. "First question, why is your suit so different from ours?"

Truthfully, I had no idea. Neeks hadn't given me much detail about why everything about me was so different from these two, like why my voice cords were fixed and I had real ears and tail, or two pendants with powers that are more complicated than theirs. "Sorry, but, I don't know. My Kwami, Neeks, chose it based off of my personality or something like that, I think... He wasn't super specific... See, his past is kind of... Personal, and I don't really want to ask too many questions because I don't want him to have to relive those moments." I rubbed the back of my head before sitting on the roof, looking up at the two of them.

Ladybug frowned, but said nothing. Chat looked curious.

"Next question?"

"Why do you have two pendants?" I grinned at this question, knowing that Chat was also curious about this.

"Oh, see, one's for my power, and the other is for my transformation."

"Why does your power need a separate pendant?"

I hummed softly and smiled brightly at the thought of my powers. "This smaller pendant is what controls my powers. I'm able to mimic any land mammal I want. I have three mimics that last as long as I need them too, or until my transformation wears off."

Chat's eyes lit up with excitement. "Cool! Can we see it, Wolven?" He asked, much like a child. I laughed and shrugged slightly. "You've already seen it in action, silly!"

Both of them looked confused, and I laughed at their density. "You guys, remember when you first met me? How I ran past you and leapt off the roof, proceeded to growl and bite the Akuma? I was mimicking a cheetah." I paused and thought back on my actions. "Well, maybe to an extent." I shrugged slightly and made little claw motions with my hands because I had no idea what to do now.

While Chat's excitement seemed to grow, Ladybug's face gave away the fact she was not amused. "Why are you so different?!"

Once again, I just shrugged. "I. Don't. Know. I really wish you would stop asking me these questions that I just can't answer!" I stood up, fought to keep my arms at my sides, and sighed softly. "Are we done here? Because we should actually do something and patrol. I have school tomorrow and I can't afford to sleep in."

Actually, I could afford to sleep in. I lived close enough that if I really wanted to, I could do what I had done earlier today all the time. But there is so much attention that comes with it, and I refuse to be the center of attention then. And this superheroine, did not need to know this information.

Ladybug was displeased with my attitude change, I could tell. "Alright, fine. You'll come with me and Chat'll-"

"No, I want to go with Chat." I interrupted, crossing my arms over my chest. I stared at Ladybug's shocked expression for a few moments before realizing just how quiet it was. I glanced over at Chat Noir and saw his extremely shocked face, and I felt a very large amount of panic starting to rise. "I-If you want to, I mean! It's fine if you don't-I know I'm stepping over b-"

"No, no! It's okay, Wolven, don't worry! You can come with me, I don't mind."

Ladybug stomped her foot on the ground when Chat said that, snapping out of her shock. "I mind! You trust him too much, Chat!"

"Milady, as much as I'm aware of your..." He trailed off, attempting to find a word that would fit what she was doing, "Blatant dislike of Wolven, I must disagree. You are trusting him too little, and you will just into a fight with him if you are left alone with each other. You need to cool your head and think about this, Ladybug." Chat said, his eyes darting from her to me and back again. He got out his staff and walked closer to me.

"Let's go, we'll be patrolling on the opposite side of the city."

"Okay. Lead the way, kitkat." I said softly, smiling at the black cat hero and watching as he bounded off in the direction I needed to follow, his staff being used to propel him above the streets. I was going to follow but just as I was about to jump, a hand clasped my wrist, causing me to sigh.

"Yes, Ladybug?"

"You even lay a finger on my partner, and you're gone, you hear me?"
