((Chapter 4))
Adrien's POV:
Back at the Agreste mansion, Natalie was waiting for him, clipboard in hand.
"Adrien, there will be a girl staying in the room next to yours. It was arranged by your father and the school's foreign exchange program. She will arrive at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon and I trust that you will be civil towards her." She gave him a tight smile before walking away, her heels clicking loudly against the floor. Adrien walked into his bedroom, barely registering what Natalie said as he sat by his desk. He was about to turn on his computer and began his Physics essay, when he spotted a tiny hexagonal black box.
"What's this doing here?" Adrien remarked to himself, opening it. There was a blinding flash of light, and a tiny cat-like creature appeared, hovering mid air and yawning. It was jet black in colour, and had glowing green eyes.
"Hey, you're like the genie in the lamp." Adrien poked the tiny creature.
"Oh please. So he grants wishes, big deal. I'm way cooler than him. Plagg, nice to meet ya. Ooh, swanky." The strange little creature flew over to a Adrien's foosball table and tried to eat one of the metal pieces.
"Wait! Don't touch that!" Adrien grabbed for Plagg, but Plagg flew just out of reach.
"Ooh, it's so shiny. Can you eat this?" Plagg dashed off to another object.
"Hey! Get back here!" Adrien leaped, catching the kwami in his hands.
"I still don't know what you're here for." Adrien glared at the little creature.
"Look, I'm a kwami, I grant powers." Plagg blinked up at him. "Yours is the power of destruction, got it?"
"No…"
"Good, now got anything to eat? I'm starving." Plagg stared at him.
"My dad's pranking me right?" Adrien stared at the kwami. "Wait no. He couldn't be. He doesn't have a sense of humor." Adrien frowned.
"Your father must never know that I exist! Or anyone for that matter." Plagg flew out of Adrien's hands, "But I'm always stuck here, I just convinced father into letting me go to school last year!" Adrien threw his hands up in frustration. "What good is a superhero who's always imprisoned in his own house?"
"No good." Plagg rolled around on a roll of toilet paper, "That's why it's all going to change soon. If you're willing to change that is." He winked at Adrien as he passed him the silver ring. Adrien nodded, he was finally going to get to be free! He hadn't felt this happy since he was allowed to go to school. "Claws Out. That's how you transform." Plagg pointed at the ring as Adrien slipped it on to his finger.
"Got it. Plagg, Claws out!" Adrien grinned in excitement.
"Wait! No!" Plagg yelped. "I haven't finished explaining-ahhhh!"
In a flash of blinding light, Adrien was in a black leather get up and little paw prints appeared on his now black ring.
"Too cool!" He excitedly jumped out the window.
Outside Adrien's room, a small voice came from Natalie's intercom.
"Agent Sancouer, has Adrien Agreste received the Black Cat miraculous?"
"Yes, I believe he has Master Fu."
"Good, I'll see you at the Princess Protection Base in a few hours." Natalie smiled before walking up to the roof, where a helicopter was waiting to pick her up.
