On the roof of Notre Dame, Adrien was very pissed with his father and that he can't stand his selfish nature like a monster. His mother was what kept his father sane but when she died, he became cruel and heartless to fill hatred of humans in his heart. Adrien's cape slowly waves a little by the wind.
"It's time to be my own man," Adrien said.
"Bonjour" A familiar voice startled him by morphing into a cat.
Cat Adrien screeched in alarm but saw who it was, "Felix?" He hissed angrily before morphing back to human form, "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Ah, ah, ah. Watch it" Félix placed his finger on his cousin's lips to shush him, "You're on the rooftop of the cathedral. Didn't your father tell you that me and mom were coming?" Felix smirked.
"No, but I take it things didn't end well in London" Adrien guessed.
"I love London, cuz. Except for the Germans creating a war in London in 1917. Not as much as I hate family reunions" Felix said.
"Give me a break. I know you love to impersonate me to make me look bad. And that greeting prank to scare me to life was not funny" Adrien scoffed and looked down at the city.
"I know. But we've done the disguise thing when we were kids, switched clothes and no one could tell us apart" Felix leans at a gargoyle.
"The last time you pretended to be me, you almost drained a victim and got your ass killed," Adrien said before shooing the pigeons out of here, "Shoo! Out of here, birds!"
"Yeah, by a stake! GO AWAY!" Felix shoos the pigeons too.
"It's night and pigeons should be asleep. Sheesh. But don't change the subject, you still owe me an apology from a century ago. You know I don't drain victims by sinking my fangs in their necks" Adrien crossed his arms.
"Fine, fine. I'm sorry for that event a century ago" Felix apologized.
"Better, maybe next time I pretend to be You again, I'll just make you look humiliated to life" Adrien snickered and morphed into a bat to fly.
"I'm afraid I can't let you get away from me" Felix did the same and flew after him.
"Why? You bothered my ass too much" Bat Adrien flaps his wings to bank left.
"Your father made me your supervision," Bat Felix said.
"Seriously?!" Bat Adrien groans.
"As much as we both hate him, he left me no choice," Bat Felix said with angry bat screeches.
"Yeah, right" Bat Adrien flew above the streets.
"I am serious. He always thinks he's a god to know what's best for our people" Bat Felix flew after him.
"He could be wrong," Bat Adrien said.
"And he really hates humankind" Bat Felix flies down to morph into human form since his cousin did the same as they hid in the dark alley.
"When vampirism came around, the people used to be 'human' in the history" Adrien using air quotes.
"Yeah and Bram Stoker wrote Dracula based on a Transylvanian prince," Felix said.
"He knew Dracula was real and he inspired humankind to one day believe vampires are real. To them they think we aren't real, just supernaturals like ghosts and werewolves" Adrien sighed and just wanted to be himself without interruption.
"At this time no one should suspect us" Felix straightens his tie in human form.
"My father needs to understand humankind, not judge them so easily. One man killed my mother, not the rest. He always blames all of them for being savages" Adrien straightens his cape.
"You always dream of being a human. It's impossible when we can turn into bats, wolves, and your animal spirit cat" Felix said.
"Yeah, right" Adrien replied.
"I'm telling you, cuz. Being human is not the same as being a vampire. They are active during the day, we are active at night. We can see in the dark, they can't" Felix said.
"And become night animals," Adrien said.
While they were walking, they saw people at restaurants and stores getting supplies. Adrien always dreamed of trying things like them, especially how his mother loved seeing the theater actors performing. So he saw the Le Théâtre de l'Odéon, Paris oldest theater.
"But I can't go in without any money" He realized.
"Hypnotize them, cuz," Felix said.
"No, this is wrong" Adrien refused.
"The old way it is, sneaks in as mice," Felix said.
"I know what you're thinking and I'm not gonna let your ass get caught again" Adrien knows what his cousin plans to do.
"Your way it is," Felix said.
"Forget it, cuz!" He ran into the alley to morph into a black cat to calm down by purring, "Meow" He looked up.
"That's the problem with you, furball. You let insecurities get the best of you. You're very good at your vulnerability stuck on your immortal ass" Felix picks him up.
"I am not vulnerable" Cat Adrien hissed.
"Calm down, but it's the truth. You're still trapped with your daddy too much" Felix said.
"He stopped being a dad long ago," Cat Adrien said.
"And still has the authorization as a parent. You know how much I hate oppressors" Felix hissed angrily.
"There are bigger threats than them," Cat Adrien said.
"Monsters that humans think are not real?" Felix said, scratching his chin.
"Yep," Cat Adrien purrs.
"Very cute. You always love cats than bats and spiders" Felix said.
"Because cats have nine lives," Cat Adrien said.
"That's just a myth, cat lover. Maybe then, you should marry a cat as a cat" Felix came to the theater and made an incredible superhuman jump at the open window, "Look here" He calls Cat Adrien over, seeing one play.
Cat Adrien looks down, seeing a play of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, "It's beautiful" Cat Adrien said.
"And we know how it ends. Too saddening" Felix said.
"Yes, both take their lives," Cat Adrien said.
"They need a new play," Felix said.
"Like what? Robin Hood?" Cat Adrien wondered.
"Yes. You always wanted to be like a hero" Felix said.
"Yeah, one that people don't misunderstand," Cat Adrien said.
As they came back to the mansion, Adrien was forced to drink blood from his father's leftover corpse again. Adrien groans that he has to do that. He couldn't do it anymore and it was too much for him to see corpses around like it didn't bother his father that taking someone's life away is just wrong. He drags the corpse once it's fully drained and throws it into the basement. He was sick of leftover corpses his father gave him just because he couldn't sink his fangs into live victims.
"It's time to try something else," He said.
He goes to the fridge to snatch some of the new gelatin candies Nino has bought, "Hmm….thanks Nino" Adrien smiled.
"You're welcome. This new type of candy is really selling well" Nino said.
"Mmhmm….did you find a leather catsuit?" Adrien asked while munching on gelatin candies.
"This is 1926, I don't know if they make catsuits," Nino said.
"There has to be someone who can design fashion," Adrien said.
"Actually, there is. I met a girl with glasses and she told me about her best friend who designs amazing clothes" Nino said.
"What? Really?" Adrien got excited.
"Yep. I could ask her to try to make a catsuit. After all her designs include animals in it" Nino said.
"That's great. Can you ask her for black leather material?" Adrien begged.
"Of course. I suppose a tail included" Nino said.
"Yes," Adrien nodded.
"Claws? Cat ears? A mask? And maybe a whip like a cat tail?" Nino asked.
"Ah yes," Adrien said.
"That's gonna be a challenge," Nino said.
Gabriel was coming into the room to speak with his son. Adrien quickly pretends to hypnotize his best friend, "Pretend I hypnotized you" He whispered.
"Yeeeesss Master" Nino acted hypnotized.
"And give me more blood bottles while you're at it" Adrien did his act too.
"Yes. Of course" Nino said.

The next day, Marinette was chatting with Alya. She was thinking of designing something very challenging but no one has asked for a request.
"Have you tried something like butterflies?" Alya asked.
"Eh, something challenging. Butterflies are too easy" Marinette said.
"Alright then. How about cats or dogs?" Alya wondered.
"Since you mentioned cat rumors, perhaps I should do that. I need inspiration from someone who loves cats" Marinette suggested.
"Okay. But that's not gonna be easy" Alya said.
"Try to find someone for me. Tell them that I need a cat inspiration design" Marinette said.
"Got it," Alya said.
"I did manage to get leather fabric since I need something challenging and new," Marinette said.
"Like making the mask and ears?" Alya guessed.
"Somewhat yes. Like a masquerade mask," Marinette said, designing the mask to get something inspired with.
"Mmm, and Chloe had a competition with a bee outfit," Alya said.
"With the help from Sabrina doing the work for her," Marinette rolled her eyes.
"Like a slave," Alya said.
"Yep," Marinette nodded.

Adrien was watching the old TV to help cheer him up since he was completely miserable by his father's wrath yet again. He was watching a comedy with Charlie Chaplin in the role.
"Dude, you're supposed to be asleep during the daytime," Nino said.
"I can't sleep. Last night was a daymare" Adrien said, saying the opposite of a nightmare since he doesn't sleep at night.
"Suit yourself if you can't sleep later on," Nino said.
"Did you find someone looking for inspiration for cat fashion yet?" Adrien asked.
"Well, it's this Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a friend of Alya. There's this competition against the Bourgeois in a couple of weeks or less. The newspaper sure loves this girl's fashion homemade designs" Nino hands him the paper.
"Hmmm…. interesting" Adrien checks them.
Then he saw Marinette's picture. Black and white was difficult to see what a person looks like. He enhanced with his superpower vision to see from real full color. He saw she was a blunette. Lovely beautiful blue eyes like the sky for an Asian girl.
"She's beautiful," He said.
"Look at you. You are definitely sexually attracted to her" Nino said.
"Stop making it a sexual thing, man" Adrien rolled his eyes.
"Or what? Go batty? I can read your face" Nino making fun of him.
"It's because she looks attractive," Adrien said.
He then glanced at Nino to do him a favor, "No. I know that look. No" Nino knows what his master is thinking.
Adrien morphed into a wolf to do the puppy eyes while whimpering.
"Oh boy, not those puppy eyes! Damn it!" Nino gave in.
"Hah Hah!" Wolf Adrien pounced on him.
"Agh! Okay, you're happy!" Nino getting licked in the face.
"You can't resist the old trick!" Adrien laughed as he turned human.
"Next time, I won't fall for that again. And get off me" Nino said.
"Alright, buddy" Adrien got off him.
"What the hell, man?" Nino wipes the dog saliva off his face.
"It seems like I can't control my instincts as a wolf," Adrien said.
"You remind me of your cousin making pranks on your family with his animal forms," Nino said.
"Especially the wolf form," Adrien said.
"Anyways, I'll spy on your lovely girlfriend bride during the daylight. You barely even know her" Nino said, dusting himself off from the wolf fur.
"I might have to learn to know her," Adrien said.
