"W- What, I just-"

"Now I understand you're confused, so let's start off with the basics," Plagg states, his voice blunt, "I am a Kwami, kinda like a god, jinn, spirit, cait sith, whatever mythical power granting creatures you have in your culture."

"Umm-"

"As a Kwami, I grant you powers you use for whatever you want, although preferably for good," Plagg says, "Or at least that's what the Guardian prefers, I don't really care."

"Who's-"

"That ring there is a Miraculous, kinda like a genie lamp, it works as a vessel for me to power you with," Plagg explains, "It gives you some of my power without over flooding you with it all at once, which would kill you instantly."

"Oh no-"

"The main power you start out with is Cataclysm, the ability to destroy anything you touch, which wears off and leaves you defenseless after about five minutes, one for each paw pad," Plagg points to your ring, "So DON'T WASTE IT."

"…"

"Now," He finishes with a purr, "Any questions?"

"So, this would be like Ladybug?" Adrien asks, "She's a hero who fights against Papillon, who makes evil butterflies to possess people."

"Ah, Tikki and Nooroo," Plagg sighs, "You'll be working with Ladybug, as she is Creation, whereas you are Destruction, balancing each other out."

Adrien squeals quietly. He had always looked up to Ladybug, watching videos of her battles on the Ladyblog whenever he had the free time to do so. He once got caught up in one of the akuma battles after he ran away, the akuma being a girl who was angry at society for driving her friends to ridiculous dieting to get the perfect body. The akuma made everyone feel the crippling hunger pains her friends were forced to feel, Adrien suffering the worse, having his already painful hunger pains doubled by the akuma. Ladybug had swooped in and defeated the akuma, her Miraculous Cleanse healing most of his pain.

"One last thing," Adrien says with a note of finality, "How do I activate it?"

"Say the phrase Claws Out."

"Plagg, Claws Out," Adrien said quietly, buzzing with excitement.

The alley's shadows washed over him. It cloaked him in its darkness as it shaped into a protective leather suit, the neck of the suit a long, tight fitting turtleneck fitting over his mouth, with whiskers he could feel sticking out the front, a cartoony cat mouth drawn on in silver grey. The suit molded to fit perfectly over his skeletal body, enhancing his muscle, making it stronger and leaner than normal for protection and strength. He could feel two sharp cat ears shape into existence on his head, his hearing enhancing as his hair filled out, thick and wild. His hair covered his normal ears, now rendered useless by his new cat ears. A long, realistic tail lengthened from his tailbone to just above his feet, him in full control and feeling of both tail and ears. His boots shaped into large paws, silent and agile. The iris of his eyes turned a deeper emerald green as they blew to cover most, if not all the white of his eyes, his pupils turning to slits. Thick leather gloves formed over his hands, black claws appearing to stick out of his fingers and the toes of his paw boots, before being sheathed in unnoticeable pockets in his flesh. A thick black domino mask formed around his cat-like eyes. Finally, a small silver bell appeared on his neck, silent.


Adrien checked out the suit, taking a good look at it all. He sheathed and unsheathed his claws on both his hands and feet at least five times before doing anything else. Moving on, he flicked his whiskers, immediately regretting the decision as he shivered violently. He felt up his furry ears, feeling everything as if they were real. Same for his tail as he swished it back and forth. Deciding to take himself for a test drive, he unsheathed his claws before leaping on to the side of the Massage Parlor and scampering all the way to the roof at full speed, flinging himself off the top ledge before flipping onto the roof and rolling on impact. He left the roll, switching to run on all fours across the roof before leaping onto the next, continuing as he neared the Eiffel Tower.

A bright red blur shot pass Adrien, swinging from building to building before landing in front of him. He screeched to a halt, not wanting to run into the thing. Ladybug stood before him, proud and tall, the black rubber boot-like part connected to her suit stuck her firmly on the ground. Steel hard fabric shaped as a ladybug shell flowed behind her, translucent silk underneath that imitated wings. Her short pigtails fluttered in the wind, black ribbon having danced alongside it. One elbow-high black glove was trained on her hip, as the other spun her weapon at blurring speeds, the yo-yo itself barely visible.

"An akuma this early? Really? This had better be good, or I'm gonna go extra hard on you."

"O- Oh, I'm not an akuma!" Adrien yelped, frantically shaking his head as he pulled down the mouth cover of his suit, "I'm on your side, I swear!"

"You have one minute to explain," Ladybug practically growled.

"I found this ring, and this thing called a Kwami came out, his name is Plagg by the way, and-"

"Okay, I believe you!" She slapped her hand over his mouth.

"Fhank youf!" Adrien said, muffled by her hand.

Ladybug let her hand drop back to her side. She sighed in relief, her other hand reaching up to brush back her hair.

"I'm honestly glad you're here now," She sighed once more, "Tikki always said I was supposed to have a partner, she honestly didn't know why it took Plagg so long to choose you."

"I think I know why, but I'd rather not explain…" Adrien said nervously, brushing back his wild, elbow length mane.

"That's fine, but I'd like us to able to trust each other more to work well together, okay?" Ladybug asked.

"I'll try." Adrien answered honestly.

"So, what's your hero alias?" She asked.

"Hmm… I think Chat Noir would go well with Ladybug," Adrien- Chat Noir purred, pleased with himself.

"Well Chat Noir, I hope we can become not only good partners, but good friends," Ladybug smiled, holding out a fist.

"I think we'd get along purrfectly," Chat Noir finished, fist bumping her.

Ladybug snorted, quickly holding her hand up to her face as she giggled.

"Oh? You've got to be kitten me," Another, louder giggle, "The Great Ladybug enjoys my clawful puns? I'm honfured."

"That last one was a stretch and you know it," She said, giggling all the while.

"Your giggling seems to say you think they're pawesome," He says before breaking off in full blown laughter, Ladybug joining in.

"If we're gonna work together we'll need to know each other's schedules," Ladybug said, her laughter finally dying out, "I have school, and going by the fact you're my height, I'll assume you do as well."

"Oh, uh, I'm actually homeschooled, so I have a lot of free time actually," Well it wouldn't have been a lie three months ago… Still sorta true he guessed.

"Oh, well our scheduled times for patrol are 7-8 am and 5-7 pm on weekdays, 7-9 am and 5-7 pm on Wednesdays, and 8-10 am and 3-5 pm on weekends."

"Got it."

"Try not to overwork yourself, we need full energy for any of the akumas."

"I won't let you down!"

"That should be everything," Ladybug held out her fist, "Glad to have a partner now."

Chat Noir bumped her fist.

"Glad to be your partner."


I have gained a new inspiration for this and my other works, with breaks coming up you should be seeing many new chapters in my series. I hope my design of Chat Noir has inspired any growing artists, as any and all reviews and fan art are appreciated.
