Adrien was at his warehouse napping and letting the cats nuzzle him all over. It gives his powers more strength by the cats.
"Meow" Plagg nuzzled on his owner.
"Mmm….. yeah" Adrien smiled in his sleep.
But then he jolted up that someone was in his warehouse as he glanced at the person standing beading near the window, "Cerise" He growled.
"Enjoyed your catnap. Your cats are simply enjoying catnip. Temporarily" Cerise cackled at the cats looking a little dazed instead of attacking.
"What the hell do you want? I told you not to show your face in my lair again!" Adrien walks up to her.
"I don't care. But you certainly caught the attention of a new heroine, What's her name?" Cerise said.
"Don't know. And get the hell out of here" Adrien goes to the fridge to get milk.
"Honestly, you've always been on top of thievery, Adrien. Sooner or later your father might take you back" Cerise said.
"I don't give a shit about him! He's the reason he destroyed my life because of some power shit he craved like a madman. Just like you did too!" Adrien drank milk.
"One path I had to take. And I love it!" Cerise replied madly.
"And that path you took was hell for you, Cerise. I don't know what names you call yourself whenever you are running from the damn law. That's another reason I hate you for being a psycho bitch" Adrien slams the glass cup near her in anger.
"And everyone thinks you're a psycho too for killing bad guys" Cerise accused him.
"I had no other choice! Most were in self-defense!" Adrien protested, "My father killed my mother out of madness because the powers corrupted him!" Adrien pinned her against the wall, "I was 16 when he murdered her! I never had a good life when I became an adult!"
"URGH! Let go of me!" Cerise struggled.
"Never come in my lair again. Get the hell out of here" Adrien released her and goes to the window, jumping out and landing like a cat, "I need to clear my head for the moment" He said to himself.

Soon, he came to the amusement park to clear his mind off and find something fun to do. He goes up to a cotton candy stand and paid for one.
"Yum" He tasted it and keeps walking.
Soon he noticed that Marinette was there as well, trying to aim at a shooting range, "Meow" He decides to see her now.
"Just a little more" Marinette tried to aim. She almost hits one target but missed it, "Damn it!" Marinette sighs.
"You gotta relax your shoulders when you shoot" Adrien got her attention.
"Ah, hello there, Adrien" Marinette saw him.
"Here, let me show you" Adrien helps her adjust her arms and the position of the rifle, "Relax Marinette. "Focus on the target" Adrien then told her.
Marinette relaxed her shoulders and shot the target. She managed to get a bullseye on the target.
"Congratulations young lady," The man who's in charge of the game said.
"Not bad" Adrien clicked his tongue.
"Thanks, Adrien," Marinette said and got her prize of a fox plush.
The fox reminded him of someone he hates.
"Look what I got. A rena rouge" Marinette said.
"Cute. Watch and learn, mademoiselle" Adrien took his turn.
Marinette watched as Adrien fired shots like a pro. It was almost like he came from military training or simply played too many video games to become an expert.
"Wow!" Marinette saw him shoot down each target.
"Viola" Adrien smirked and won a black cat plush.
"You're full of surprises Adrien," Marinette said.
"Merci" Adrien said.
Later they were on the Ferris wheel as it slowly goes around it stopped them on top. They both blushed and shyly looks at each other.
"Heh, looks like we are gonna be up here for maybe 5 minutes," Marinette said shyly.
"Yeah, maybe," Adrien said.
They looked into each other's eyes and leans in but suddenly the Ferris wheel shook violently. The gears were getting loose as sparks appears from the generator powering it. Adrien saw how a young boy was at risk of falling off his seat.
"I got this" He climbs out of his seat to try to save him.
"Are you out of your…." Marinette stopped and Adrien had the speed of a cat and everything around him was going in slow motion but he continues himself at normal speed.
He lands on the spinning mechanism rod and jumps to the next to get to the child, "I gotcha!" He said but he knows that the child can't hear, move, or see.
Adrien has to move quickly to save the rest before the Ferris gears give out and it will collapse. He saved the rest of those from the ride one by one until Marinette was last.
Adrien sets the boy down and jumps back up to the top to help Marinette before time resumes to normal speed, "Marinette! Do you trust me?!"
"Yeah," Marinette replied.
"Hold on" He helps her out of the seat and carefully climbs down, jumping from the rail to the next. Marinette clutched onto Adrien as he jumps down to the ground. The metal creaked that it was gonna give out.
"Watch out!" Adrien ran with Marinette just as the Ferris wheel fell.
"Everyone okay?" Adrien asked those who were saved.
"How did we…" They were all confused as to how they are on the ground. It all happened too fast.
"Thank you for saving us all, Adrien," Marinette said.
"Uhhhh….what do you mean? I saved you" Adrien lied, trying to hide his Cat Noir identity.
"Oops. I mean thank you for saving me" Marinette said.
The sirens came and the cops came to see if anyone got hurt, "Let's go, Marinette" Adrien got nervous.
"I don't know what happened but at least no one got hurt," Marinette said.
"Yeah, or the wheel would have smashed us," Adrien said.
They soon go to a different location of the carnival to chat. Adrien can't believe he saved her again, only this time as Adrien himself.
"Adrien, that was some crazy stunt you had there. Risking your own life saving me" Marinette said.
"Um, yeah. I don't know what came over me" Adrien said.
"Well, thank you again, Adrien" Marinette hugs him.
He gasped quietly at the hug but then he hugs her back, "You're welcome again, Marinette" He said.
Plagg meowed and came up to them, making sure his master is okay from the Ferris wheel accident.
"Oh, hey, Plagg. Missed your master?" Adrien pets him.
"Aww….he seems very loyal to you" Marinette picks the cat up, "Such a sweet cat"
"Very loyal to his master," Adrien said.
"You love cats?" Marinette asked.
"Yeah, they are like my spirit animal," Adrien said while petting Plagg.
"I see. Well not long ago this Cat Noir saved me in an alley" Marinette said.
"Really?" He pretends to not know, "It seems he's taking a liking to you"
"Yeah. He sure does" Marinette said.

A while later, Adrien was back at his lair, letting the cats bite his arms and neck to give him more cat strength while he was napping. His mind was on Marinette while he was gaining his strength. His catwomen ancestors believed that the goddess Bastet was the reason these cats are sacred to her with nine lives and landing on their feet. Centuries ago, witches used black cats to cause bad luck to intruders so they don't get executed for witchcraft.
"Agh! Okay, kitties. I feel like my nine lives are full" Adrien groaned from the bites but it healed quickly.
The cats all got off him while he sat up, "Meow, meow, meow" They all nuzzled him.
"Good job my kitties" He pets some of them, "Now I must go. It's almost dark outside and I love being nocturnal" Adrien said.
He got dressed up as Cat Noir to go venture on the rooftops again. As always, he would look for the gang's hideout to steal their loot but he needed to visit an old friend who retired from being a criminal at a very young age.
He came to the small store of snakes to see a punk rocker man enjoying his yoga and meditation.
"Ah, it's been a while, kitty," The man with blue-teal highlights said.
"Ssssssssuch a puuuurrrrrrrleasure, Luka" Cat Noir made animal puns.
"Again with the puns? It's getting kinda old you know" Luka bends his back so his feet are touching his head.
"And I see you enjoy yoga too much ever since you retire from being Viperion. Parseltongue was your favorite language because you love snakes" Cat Noir sits next to him.
"Yes, they were my weapons and pets at the same time," Luka said.
"Just like my cats. By the way, I need some advice" Cat Noir asked and Luka gets in his meditation position.
"Which is?" Luka asked him.
"I met a girl and….I…..I need to know what girls like in thieves. Good thieves" Cat Noir asked, letting the snake coiled around his arm, "I can't stop thinking about her. I saved her life"
"You're having feelings for her? Do you?" Luka said.
"Yes, but she doesn't know who I really am. I can't jeopardize her" Cat Noir said and groaned a little from the snake tightening his arm, "Okay, your snake is done checking my blood pressure. Can you get him off please?"
"Of course" Luka signals the snake to get off him, "I understand that if you revealed who you are, you'll put her in danger into likes of Cerise," Luka said.
"Exactly my point, Luka. Cerise is very good at changing her identity, wigs, eye contact lens, everything. It won't be easy to recognize her if she knew I have feelings for the girl I like" Cat Noir said.
"Not to mention that everything she does is built on lies," Luka said.
"I wish I can just kill her but I only kill psychopaths, not women or children. And technically, she's a woman but still a psycho bitch" Cat Noir said and stares at the snake trying to swallow up its meal, "It's like we both let our mice get away with it"
"Yes. Cerise betrayed all of us just for abuse of power" Luka said.
"Just like my father stupidly used too much power from the witch's spellbook, he killed my mother" Cat Noir growled lowly, "So he could be a god. And yet he failed. Is there a way I can be closer to this girl I've saved?" Cat Noir asked.
"Get to know her, gain her trust, and if something does happen by the time she sees who you are underneath the mask, maybe she'll see some goodness in your feline eyes that you're nothing like a criminal," Luka said.
"Thief, not a criminal" Cat Noir said.
"Same difference," Luka said.
"It's not the same difference, Luka" Cat Noir said.
"Alright. But be sure to keep her safe" Luka said.
"Yeah, though I got a mouse to challenge and then a ladybug," Cat Noir said.
"And I thought bad guys are your mice to eat" Luka teased.
"Well, I may have given her advice to be a ladybug. So she got the good luck" Cat Noir said.
"Strange how she didn't become your match. Good and Bad luck, polar opposites" Luka said.
"And her scent almost smelled familiar like the girl I saved" Cat Noir chuckled.
"Which one? The mouse or the ladybug?" Luka asked.
"The mouse. Ladybug has a different scent" Cat Noir said.
"Mmhmm. Well, I suggest you wait until the moment comes for her to trust you" Luka said.
"Okay. Thank you, Luka" Cat Noir said.
"If you're looking for bad guy mice to eat, there's a hideout just 2 blocks from here. I heard they got a bunch of jewelry from Egypt" Luka said.
"I'm on my way there. See you later" Cat Noir heads out.

Unknown to him, Ladybug beat him to it by following the thieves with the jewelry. She peers in through a window on the roof, seeing them emptying their duffle bags.
"What a loser. These will make us rich than that nasty furball of a cat" The thug said.
"Don't get excited about this. That gato is a devil. A Diablo! He can jump around like a cat than a man" The Spanish thug said.
"Diablo or not, he has to have a weakness," The thug said.
Ladybug then snuck inside hiding behind some crates.
"Like what? Catnip? He's a human, not an actual cat" The thug said.
They spoke too soon when Cat Noir came out of the shadows, "Aw, are you admiring me again?"
"It's him!" They took out their guns.
"Again with the guns?" Cat Noir snatched them one by one with his whip smacking, "Didn't your mama tell you to not play with them?" He taunted them.
"Our mama tells us who we can kill, fleabag!" The thug held out a dagger.
"Bring it on!" Cat Noir leaped and kicks him in the face.
Ladybug watched near the crates until one goon saw her, "What are you doing here?!" He tries to choke her from behind but she runs up a crate to flip him over.
"HYAH!" She knocks him out.
"Okay! Okay! Stop! Just take them! We worked so hard coming here from Cairo!" The defeated thug scurried away from the feline.
"Heh, just what I thought. And boy they are golden cat statues" Cat Noir picks up said statue, "And even some bracelets" He picks some up.
"What the hell is with you for stealing jewelry?" The thug asked but got whipped by him, "OWWW!"
"Shut up. I got what I wanted. Next time, learn to fight like a muchacho instead of a coward" Cat Noir grabbed what he came for.
"Carajo!" The Spanish thug cursed.
