Sam/Volpina's P.O.V

Adrien was Cat Noir…

It was too obvious. Who came into class one day with an organic tail and ears to match a black cat. But why? Why did it happen Cat Noir? Sam didn't have that problem and Ladybug didn't either as far as she was concerned. She sat in her room trying to think up all the different possibilities.

"Feeby, cunning fox," she said as she was magically coated in orange and white.

She was going to have to talk to Ladybug about this…

She had told Ladybug to meet her at the Eiffel tower that night and here she was wondering what the hell she was up to.

"Sorry I'm late!" said an exhausted voice

"It's fine. Anyway I think I know Cat Noir's identity. I think that Cat Noir is –"

"Adrien!" finished Ladybug, "I think we're on the same page here. We probably go to the same school. Well, first we need to get hold of Cat Noir himself."

"Yeah, let's head over to the central park."

Volpina and Ladybug were about to head down when a particular person in black showed up.

"Wait, don't go!"

Adrien/Cat Noir's P.O.V

It was a good thing he had caught them in time. Both superheroes stopped dead in their tracks. He noticed Ladybug's face turn from surprise to anger.

"Thank goodness I found you, I needed to talk to you about-"

"SHUT UP!" Ladybug screamed. Her face was lowered so that he couldn't see her eyes and a dark shadow cast across her face, clearly visible even at night.

"Where have you been Cat Noir? WHERE?"

"I'm sorry but-"

"BUT NOTHING! WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN COMING TO PATROLS? WHY WON'T YOU PAY ATTENTION IN AKUMA BATTLES? MANY HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE A MIRACULOUS. QUITE FRANKLY I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY-

"Ladybug calm down!" said Volpina who, although wasn't as furious as Ladybug, was also agreeing with what she said.

Ladybug threw her yoyo viciously at Cat Noir at which he cried in pain. Then she threw him off the Eiffel tower. Wow she was strong! She had even taken away Cat Noir's baton so he was left to helplessly fall.

Crack!

His ribs shook when he hit the ground.

He got up, dazed - but not for long as Ladybug was already level with him and had roundhouse kicked him. He couldn't move he was slowly falling into the hands of unconsciousness. The last thing he saw was Ladybug's eyes glaring over him not showing an ounce of mercy.

Cat Noir opened his eyes. It was bright He was still transformed and a crowd of concerned people had gathered around him. All the events of yesterday came rushing back to him. He got up and dashed away. He detransformed and checked his watch while putiing a sleeping Plagg in his pocket. He was late!

As he approached the front doors of school he started to remember what Ladybug had said last night. Was it true? Did he really deserve the miraculous? He just noticed that people were still staring at him…

He had completely forgotten about his tail and ears. He swayed it from side to side. Yep, it was still there.

He sat down next to Nino and once again people had gathered around Alya to see her LadyBlog.

He his Cat Ears pricked up when he heard Ladybug screaming. Where had she been hiding all her anger? As he listened to her words he once again felt down in the dumps again. Naturally his tail wavered lower.

A collective gasp filled the room as the sound of a yoyo colliding with Cat Noir's head. An even louder one when he fell off the Eiffel tower and hit the ground

"Ooh, that's gotta hurt," said Kim at which everyone agreed with a nod.

Everyone fell silent when at least Cat Noir had fallen unconscious.

Adrien wasn't even aware of the tears rolling down his cheek. He left the classroom and slammed the door behind him. But he forgot about his tail. It was at this moment he knew he fucked up…

"Aah!"

Everyone turned their attention to Adrien who had his tail stuck in the door.

Marinette opened the door and Adrien let go of a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"Thanks, Marinette," he said as he left.

Once out of sight he cried heavily, cursing his bad luck. Of course, an akuma had found its victim.

It had landed on Adrien's ring.

"Hello, I am Hawkmoth –"

"No!" shouted Adrien who soon realised what was happening

"Oh well, I'll just have to use force,"

Adrien suddenly double over in pain as a dark purple magic engulfed him. He stood up. He was not Adrien or Cat Noir anymore. No – he was Cat Blanc.
