Later that night, the robbers already robbed the bank and came to their hideout. They were unaware that the cat was following them to their hideout. Shadybug stopped him from following them, demanding what he stole from her.

"Fine, fine. Just get the hell out of my way" Claw Noir shoved the money back to her before pole vaulting away, not wanting to lose them in sight.

"Heh, sly cat" Shadybug chuckled.

He found their hideout which was an abandoned workshop, "Meow. Simple night vision I got but they don't" He crawls on fours on the rooftop, smashing the glass roof to get in.

"What the hell?!" The bad guy exclaimed.

The feline extends his staff and glides down, "Meow. Hello boys. Fancy work you done for me. Hand them over or this kitty will rip your tongues out like I did with your big bad boy" Claw Noir gestures to their henchman who can't speak at all without his tongue.

"That tongue was his life, fleabag!" The bandit said.

"Too bad. Next are his eyes" Claw Noir said.

"You are beyond psycho cat! I hear rumors that you're becoming soft like a kitten" They all laughed at him.

Claw Noir growled lowly at hearing everyone believing those rumors of himself becoming softer than a cold-hearted villain, "Keep on dreaming"

He took out a hidden dagger and rushed at full speed, slicing their throats one by one until they all fell dead. One was left standing as he backed away in fear, not wanting to piss off the cat with a sadistic nature. He saw him licking the blood slowly on the dagger.

"Meow, like hunting mice as my prey. Where is it?" Claw Noir demanded to where is the money.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" The bandit asked but got pinned against the broken sharded window, causing the shards to pierce his back.

"I saw you guys robbed the bank and I came here for it. Where are they?!" Claw Noir positions his claws near the groin, "Start talking now or your dick will be ripped off and you can say goodbye to your sexual pleasures!"

"They are inside that big safe in the basement!" The thug confessed.

"Good boy" Claw Noir shoved him hard against the glass shards to hit the back spine to kill him.

He goes downstairs, clawing the portraits of the gang with his claws. He found it and thought of his own way to open the vault, "CATACLYSM!" He destroyed the door.

"Meow, come to kitty" He took whatever they got and before turning around, there was another feline that looked exactly like him. Just silent but deadly.

"What the?" Claw Noir feels like he's looking in the mirror when he makes his move, the copied version does the same too.

"Meow" The Copycat meowed like a real cat.

"Grr!!! Who are you?!" Claw Noir took his staff out to turn into nunchucks.

The Copycat did the same too. Instead of answering, he simply does his seductive and sexy move to distract him.

"Huh?" Claw Noir got confused.

It grabbed his arm and kicked him in the gut three times before kicking him in the back.

"ARGH! What are you?!" Claw Noir groaned.

It stayed silent rather than speak, it then did a blow kiss before jumping out the broken window. Making Claw Noir snarl in anger to go after it.

"Oh no you don't!" He jumps through the window.

The copycat blew raspberry before smacking its butt to taunt him, jumping to the roof. Claw Noir pursued the copycat on the rooftops, sliding down, jumping, and running to try to get it. It was much faster than him but Claw Noir couldn't possibly believe someone copied his looks.

"Whoever you are you can't run from me!" He ran faster.

The copycat stopped and made Claw Noir fall through the weak roof and onto the abandoned workshop.

"ARGH!" He crashed into the floor.

The copycat jumped down and put its foot on Claw's chest to hold him still. It smirked evilly like him but in a twisted way.

"Agh! Get off!" He extends his staff to push him in midair before using his feet to shove him aside, "There can only be one!" Claw Noir snarled.

"Tsk Tsk, Tsk" The copycat waved its finger and cataclysm the floor to bring both of them down together.

"WHOOOOOOOA!!!" They fell down further.

The copycat pinned him down, grinning evilly to finish him off but a yo-yo lassoed its wrist, pulling him away from Claw Noir.

"There you are, copycat! You think being me was a failure but mimicking that fleabag won't make you strong!" Shadybug snarled.

Copycat hissed like a cat before retreating away up to the broken floor.

"So you've followed me?" Claw Noir got up.

"Shut up! Don't even think I saved your ass from that copycat! It can take the form of anyone. Whoever it is, it can ruin my life!" Shadybug said.

Claw Noir felt his wrist dislocated and he snapped it back in place, hearing a very loud crunch as he groaned quietly.

"Technically it looked like you did, cockroach. And correction, it will ruin my nine lives" Claw Noir said.

"But if he or she takes my shape?" Shadybug pointed out.

"Looks like we are gonna have come up with a secret code word to tell apart by saying who we are from a fake" Claw Noir suggested.

"Hmmm? How about you say Marco and I say Polo?" Shadybug suggested.

"Too easy. Everyone knows that" Claw Noir said.

"Any idea then?" Shadybug asked.

"Tell me what you hate the most. If we say this, we say that. I hate cucumbers" Claw Noir said.

"Bug spray," Shadybug said.

"There we go. Cucumber Bug Spray is the secret codeword. I say Cucumber, you say Bug Spray" Claw Noir said.

"You got it. This will only be a temporary truce" Shadybug said.

"I'm a lone cat, bug" Claw Noir said.

"Suit yourself" Shadybug replied, cautiously looking after the Copycat.

"Whoever it is, only one evil cat is on top of the food chain" Claw Noir hissed.

"Yeah, right" Shadybug replied.

"I hunt mice and when I mean mice, I mean bad guys that try to kill my nine lives" Claw Noir hissed.

"Better use them well" Shadybug then heard the Copycat sneak.

"Quiet!" Claw Noir smacked his hand on her mouth when he heard Copycat sneaking by.

His sharp hearing like a cat can hear something nearby as he listened carefully. Then Copycat lunged at the two but on cue, they dodged.

Copycat makes kissing noises at Claw Noir before jumping off the roof.

"Damn it! It's fast! It flirted with you!" Shadybug yelled.

"When you fought it, did it talk?!" Claw Noir asked.

"No! It didn't!" Shadybug said.

"So its voice is different!" Claw Noir said.

"That person or whoever it is obviously has a crush on your ass!" Shadybug yelled at him.

"Keep your damn mouth shut!" Claw Noir sharply turns at her.

"That copycat could be anyone!" Shadybug snarled.

"RAAAAWR!" The Copycat pounced on her.

"Agh! Get off me!" Shadybug flipped over but Copycat did the same thing, "GET OFF OF ME!!" Shadybug screamed, "Fleabag get him off of me before I stab his ass!"

"Hands off my rival!" He grips him and throws him roughly.

"The hell! It fights like a girl!" Shadybug gets up.

Copycat threw smoke bombs to blind them before disappearing into the night.

"Blast! He got away!" Claw Noir exclaimed.

"I thought you were supposed to be the killer here, not a dumbass!" Shadybug shoved him.

"Dumbass?! You stood there doing nothing!" He shoves her back.

"So did you for like 7 seconds when it was on top of me!" Shadybug said.

Claw Noir snarled loudly before cataclysming the chimney to get his rage out, tiring himself out before he got dizzy, panting heavily before he straightened himself.

"I can't get it out of me, I'm tired now. Whooo!" He slumps down to breathe.

"Well that's just great" Shadybug sat on a stool.

"That Copycat can't possibly be me. I never do smooches at my enemies" Claw Noir said.

"And I never do a sexy pose by swaying," Shadybug said.

"True on that" Claw Noir said.

"That person is a troublemaker. Much worse than we cause trouble. It can copy our powers. Like my lucky charm and your cataclysm. Hopefully not your kiss of death" Shadybug said.

"Well, that's the problem now," Claw Noir said.

"You could've done that when you had the chance, dumbass cat!" Shadybug said.

"He's too quick!" Claw Noir replied.

"Quick with an extra nine lives. Make sure he's dead with minus nine lives down!" Shadybug swings out of here.

Claw Noir then searched through the building. He picks up a tiny scent and sees a mirror compact makeup. The scent is unknown and whoever it is, the person is a female. Maybe a witch to take form or something else. He picked it up and smelled it again, the scent wasn't Chloe. She wouldn't join a criminal organization because she doesn't follow well.

"Hold on a second" He sniffs again.

"Why does that scent smell so familiar?" Claw Noir thought he knew someone but no memory of that someone he thought he knew.

"That's one clue. She's a woman all right. Maybe she used witchcraft" He pole-vaulted out of here.

The next morning, Adrien was watching Friday Addams (opposite of Wednesday Addams) on Netflix, loving the show too much to inspire him to be less scared, show a little macabre, and never hesitate at anything. His cats all joined him in watching while Plagg sulked, never looking at Adrien. Gothic style was his thing, black makeup was also his thing. His father's fashion was too colorful and he hated it.

"Meow" One cat brought him his milk carton.

"Thanks" Adrien accepted and took a sip, getting to the part where Friday wearing a black cat costume on a rowboat race.

"This is interesting, she looks purrfect," Adrien said.

"Hmph!" Plagg scoffed.

Adrien glanced at his kwami, "What?"

Plagg just glared at him and turned away, hurt that he could no longer talk.

"Don't blame me that the Supreme made you mute, black rat. At least I never let you starve to death like he did to you" Adrien said, turning off the TV before the person's account he hacked would have to pay the Netflix bill.

Plagg just hovers away from him, still sour. Adrien then goes behind the screen to change into his badass goth punk style. Even his black hair wig so no one will recognize the son of the fashion designer.

"Perfect" He applied black eyeshadow as well as blue contact lenses.

Then he applied black lipstick to look badass and less colorful, "Adrien Noir" He joked at his colors being all black.

"Meow, meow, meow" His cats meowed at his joke that isn't very funny.

"What? I'm like 80% dressed in black" He said.

The black cat with purple eyes gestured to the jewelry he didn't pawn last night because he got distracted with his Copycat.

"Ah yeah, time to earn some money" Adrien grabs the bag with jewelry.

Soon, he was at the criminal pawn to pawn what he stole for money exchange. Of course, sometimes he would get less and when that happens, he would twist the pawn man's wrist just because he's a young criminal.

"And for this gold bracelet, you'll get 500 euros" The pawn owner paid the criminal before Adrien. The young criminal shows him the jewelry.

"700 euros for you"

"Fine, and I expect good money I exchange," Adrien said before snatching it, "And you better work on my progress"

"I'll give you a bonus of 200 euros," The pawn owner said.

"That's better," Adrien said.

"Now go before I change my mind," The pawn owner said.

On his way out, he felt Plagg bite his pec that he wanted cheese again.

"Ay! Okay, your favorite" He hands Plagg his cheese.

While heading to the alley, he saw Copycat again, only this time as Adrien with the same attire he's wearing. He was about to say the words when Copycat pinned him against the wall, putting its finger on his lips to shush him but Adrien smacked its arm away.

"Whoever you are, you are a lot psycho than I am. Let me go!" Adrien grabbed its arm and did a cartwheel flip but Copycat was unhurt and it smirked evilly.

"Plagg, daggers out!" Adrien transformed but Copycat morphed into Claw Noir too and it bared its claws.

Claw can't even fight him when it's him with the same moves, "Start talking now or did I rip your tongue out without knowing?!" Claw Noir snarled, taking his guns out to finish that Copycat.

But the Copy moved aside as he fired and swiped his left gun off and Claw then turned to point his right gun at him but missed when he fired.

"What the?!" He exclaims.

The copy appeared again and knocked his gun away before he could shoot again and swoop him down.

Yanking his spike tail and shoved him against the dumpster, "Agh!"

Copycat chuckled quietly and walked away before Claw Noir recovered.

"Urgh! Damn it!" He groaned, "Plagg, daggers in" He detransformed and groaned from the claw marks on his waist.

He looks at his hand to find blood on it, "Damn it! I need to patch up!"

Plagg may hate his owner but does show concern. So he reached into his jacket and pressed the rag on the wounds. Adrien was surprised that his kwami was actually helping him.

"You're helping me?" He asked and Plagg nodded.

"Fine, help me" Adrien couldn't express himself.
