Adrien was already in the capital city where he saw the Baiterek Tower. He speaks a few languages due to being forced by his master for years and he is a little rusty with speaking Kazak and Russian.

"Spasibo" He thanked the tour guide for directions.

"Oqası joq" The tour guide said "You're welcome" in Kazak.

Adrien headed for the tower for a closer look. He looks up at the shiny structure of the tower's top before going inside it for a better view.

He softly groaned from Plagg biting his pec again that he was hungry for cheese, "Enough" He whispered by not attracting attention from the tourists.

Adrien goes to a hidden spot to feed him. After that, he goes to enjoy the view. He's never been to this country but it was worth a shot to find out for the first time.

"You would have loved this, Marinette," He said while looking over the city.

The same view sighting at the Eiffel Tower was just magnificent. He looks side to side hoping there are no Supreme assassins. They get on his nerves that he's not a kitten anymore but a grown adult cat.

"Well, at least I won't be tracked down while civilian" Adrien thought.

Later he goes on a walk, pickpocketing their money to get something to eat and maybe a rest at the hotel before moving out. Possibly to Moscow where it's close enough to European countries. He goes to a cheap hotel and pays for one night.

Marinette already arrived at Kazakhstan which was a long flight from Moscow.

"Okay, while he's detransformed he won't be able to be found" Marinette checks the stolen radar, "Where the bloody hell are you, fleabag?" She was annoyed it's gonna be like a needle in a haystack.

She doesn't know if his hair is actually a hair dye or just the miraculous suit alteration that gives him what he is as the cat holder.

"Okay, let's get started" Marinette started searching.

He still was not transformed yet and it was not gonna be easy to find him. Especially when in a city there are millions of people everywhere crowding around

"When I find him, I'm gonna douse him with catnip," Marinette said.

For a cat like him, she still remembers how much milk he enjoys and the cat puns he uses in a sentence. Even when he starts acting like one. She groans in frustration that she's getting impatient if his tracker doesn't show up, she's gonna have to find him as Shadybug. So she went into a hidden spot to transform.

"Tikki, blots on" She transformed and her tracker came on the device, "It's on" She saw herself.

Another tracker blipped that her cat was transformed and it was 20 blocks away from here, "Ah, there you are"

Unfortunately, Claw Noir got captured by one of the Supreme assassins when they used sleep powder on him 20 minutes ago. He was now hanging by his wrists so he didn't use a cataclysm to touch anything.

"Look at him, such a sleepy kitten for a catnap. Call our boss and tell him we got him" The assassin said.

"On it. Just make sure he doesn't move" The other said.

"He inhaled sleep powder too long. There's no way he can wake up from the drowsy side effects" He laughed and simply looked at his phone for any payment on his accounts.

Claw Noir opens his eyes and sees he is in some kind of warehouse and is chained to the ceiling. One of them wasn't paying attention as he grabbed him by his legs in a chokehold, holding him hard, and snapped his neck in a loud crack. He drops the corpse and lifts his legs up to activate a toe paw claw to pick the lock of the chains around his wrists.

He then lands on the floor Black Widow style, "Urgh! That's disgusting!" He got up.

"Damn it why the bloody hell did I do that?" He shuddered and grabbed the gun to fight his way out of the warehouse before more assassins tried to kill him.

He cataclysmed the door down and shot three assassins who were guarding the door. They got shot in the shoulders and legs, falling to the floor.

"Get the hell out of my way!" Claw Noir grabs another gun to shoot.

He fired at the cargo hanging from above to make it crash onto the others, "Hell yeah!" He smirked and kept shooting at those getting in his way but had to save some ammo and crashed through the window, jumping on the rooftop and running.

He jumps to the next roof and dives onto the abandoned building to hide to catch his breath. He was about to detransform when he smelled someone familiar and readied his gun.

It was just himself in the abandoned apartment but he knew someone was there, "So, I guess I have another problem to deal with. Don't even try"

"Is that so when we haven't met as real grownups?" Shadybug came out with her lucky charm gun while aiming.

He gasped softly to see her again but shook it off to not get himself soft to see her, "It's been so long, and yet I still remember your look and perky ass" Claw Noir flirted deadly while aiming.

"You haven't changed a bit, fleabag. Nine lives sure makes you the same cocky fleabag" Shadybug quietly moves with him.

"Oh, I changed a bit. I'm just not very psychopathic I used to be whenever we fought as kids" Claw Noir said.

They approached each other but neither of them shoot.

"Put it down before I make you," Shadybug said.

"Put yours down and watch your step" Claw Noir replied.

They tried to disarm each other but Claw Noir proved stronger by slamming her at the walls and up the locker and forcing her down on the sink.

"Stay down!" He demanded but got hit by a plate.

"Agh!" He got scraped and lost his guard.

"It's been so long, Claw Noir," Shadybug said.

"Way too damn long!" Claw Noir jumps on her shoulders to grip her by his legs.

"Hey! Get off me!" Shadybug struggled.

"Calm down!" Claw Noir strained but got hit against the wall while still gripping her.

Shadybug threw him down to pin him but Claw Noir wrapped his legs around her waist to trap her.

"You know this position looks very sexual" Shadybug glared at that move.

"I noticed. Now, are you calm so we can talk or just shoot me until I have more lives to live?" Claw Noir chuckled coldly.

"First of all, not quite, and secondly we're both apparently hunted down by our former master," Shadybug said.

"Yeah, I know. I was on my way to get back to Paris but apparently, I have to travel through countries to get there. Now get off" Claw Noir said.

Shadybug let go of him, "If you had a mustache you'd be complete with whiskers"

"Bullshit. I hate having a mustache and a beard like a hobo. I shaved them off" Claw Noir gets up, "Better life you had?"

"Yeah, had my own store in Russia selling art" Shadybug said.

"Hmph, I just steal things like a thief. Whenever criminals hire me, they would give me a death warrant to throw me away. You changed a bit since I used to remember how angry you easily get" Claw Noir goes in the fridge only to see live rats in them but quickly closes it.

"Gross!" Shadybug exclaims in shock, "Anyway, I've gotten anger management to keep my cool, pussycat. My insecurities are no more" Shadybug explained her calm behavior.

"That's a hint of maturity. As for myself, I decreased my killing habits but sometimes I kill to survive when necessary. It gets very lonely without a friend to trust" Claw Noir picks up his gun to unlock how much ammo he has, "Other than that, I got tattoos and changed my look"

"Funny. You look the same as I remember. The hair, the purple death eyes, the jacket, and the boots" Shadybug chuckled coldly.

"Though taller and more muscle" Claw Noir flexed.

"And myself a beautiful woman. Honestly, I thought you'd be dead living all by yourself" Shadybug said, straightening herself in the other room.

"I thought the same too but I'm just a bad luck cat spreading my curse around those that want me dead. You know me as the master of destruction" Claw Noir chuckled and found wine in the cabinet.

"And I as the mistress of creation," Shadybug said.

"And we barely know who we are behind the mask. Plagg, daggers in" Claw Noir detransformed.

The poisonous bug gasped at the familiar face she remembered years ago who was always a stuck-up brat but was now a grown man, "You're Adrien Agreste?! The orphan?"

"Yup. An orphan kitten. And you?" Adrien asked.

"Tikki, Blots off" Shadybug detransformed.

The grown kitten gasped at the familiar face who was so quiet and antisocial but now a grown woman, "Marinette?!" Adrien gasps.

He goes up to her to touch her face, remembering how beautiful she was as a teen, "It is you" He said.

"Yeah, and you tried to talk to me but my insecurities prevented me, after what Chloe and Kim did to me with the harmful prank," Marinette said.

"I was so afraid that I thought you moved on and forgotten me" Adrien hugged her.

Marinette was stunned that he was hugging her. She felt him purr in sadness that he finally had her in his arms, never wanting to let go of her. Without thinking she hugged back.

"I can't believe how much of an asshole I was to you with bickering and tormenting you when we were young" Adrien sobs softly.

"And I for being rude to you at school" Marinette said.

"I so wanted to call you my Angel of Darkness but most of the time you're like a gothic princess" Adrien stroked her curves.

"Please don't do that" Marinette blushed at where his hands were.

Adrien smirked at how much he remembers flirting with his bug, "You still remember the times I used to flirt with you crazily?" He stroked near her butt.

"Aside from letting me drop?" Marinette replied, remembering how when she fell, he never caught her.

"Heh, yeah. But you survived the fall. I was young and stupid" Adrien purred at how much her body had grown into a woman, "Meow, your curves are so.....puuuuuuurrrrrrfectly sexy like a woman"

He groaned when her strong hands were on his abs, "And you have been working out. You were skinny like hell but now you have grown into a man. In a dumbass way," Marinette pushed him off.

"Oh, come on. Are you still angry that I left you? It's been 5 years since we both went our separate ways because of what the Supreme put us through" Adrien rolled his eyes at her stubbornness.

"You know we were both forced to be trained killers or he would kill us like he did with the rest who were not so lucky. We both never had good lives as teenagers" Marinette looks out the window to make sure no assassins are nearby.

"I never had a good life either when I lost my mother and now my father," Adrien said.

"I'm sorry for your loss" Marinette turns around.

It was cut short when troopers with guns and laser sights broke into the building to find them.

"Shit!" Adrien grabbed Marinette to hide with him, "It's them again. We gotta get out now. Plagg, daggers out" He transformed in a green flash which caught their attention.

"Transform now!" Claw Noir comes out and throws cat paw electrocuted disks to electrocute them to death.

"Tikki, blots on!" Marinette transformed, "Lucky charm! Dual guns? Perfect!" Shadybug gained two guns.
