"Meow, meow, meow!" The cats living in the Agreste mansion were being trained by their master to become house cats instead of alley cats.

"My puuuurrrrrrecious babies. Come to Daddy" Adrien pets them all at once, "Cleo, settle down. I know you love kisses and cuddles"

"Not as much as I hate being petted like a house dog, kitty cat" Felix as himself standing near the doorway.

Identical to his cousin but with heavy black eyeshadow, nose piercing, blue highlights, a black leather jacket with Diamond studs, blue peacock-themed feathers of his shirt, black leggings, and combat boots.

"Ah, it's like you miss me too much, young cousin" Adrien stood up with the black cat in his arms, "Leave us, my kitties" Adrien ordered his cats to go into the other room.

"In fact, I do miss impersonating you again. London became so boring, I needed a new challenge in Paris where there are big bad boys I can bite" Felix chuckled.

"I'm not jealous, hellhound. I gave up my villain career. I already told you the story of what happened" Adrien puts his cat down.

"Yes, I know, Claw is dead and never returns," Felix said.

"Thank you very much. The question is why did you decide to come back here?" Adrien asked.

"Life in London got boring," Felix said.

"Especially when the Supreme gave you the dog miraculous, you always cared too much about dogs. Especially her" Adrien pointed at his kwami Barkk who also has the Supreme seal on her mouth.

"Yeah, but you reforming, the seal is gone" Felix pointed out.

"Exactly," Adrien said.

"Yeah, so no more secrets kept from you. The supreme is all pure evil" Plagg said.

"And he's gonna be pissed that you and your lady betrayed him," Felix said.

"That's his problem. Even the elephant and jaguar reformed after seeing the errors in their crimes. Loxodon feared he would be disowned and Oscura that she forgot her mother and brother support her and let go of her revenge" Adrien said.

Felix touches his collar necklace and sighs looking at Barkk, "I need more time. I've been through far too much abuse from my late father" Felix said

"You don't have to feel him or think about him," Adrien said.

"I still do. This was 3 years ago, cuz. You weren't there" Felix removed his jacket to roll up his shirt to reveal scars of whip marks on his back.

"My god" Adrien gasps.

"He deemed me a monster. "My mother tried everything to protect me until he went out of control. The asylum never made him get better, the drugs were too much until they killed him. At least I did get my freedom but the scars were too much" Felix explained why his uncle never told Adrien about it.

"I see. But I was a fool to believe my dad forgot about my mother but he never did. I did all my villainy for nothing" Adrien said.

"But you did try to overcome the trauma you went through as a villain," Felix said.

"Which I did after Copycat killed me," Adrien said.

"Obviously I thought you were gonna end up as bisexual for the rest of your damn life" Felix goes into the kitchen with him to have a snack.

"But no, I ended up straight with Ladybug," Adrien said.

"Really? As I remember correctly, you always do that kiss of death to guys older than you who try to get bisexual with you. You always kill them in the end because of your post-traumatic fear experience" Felix goes in the fridge to grab a root beer.

"Not anymore. I lost that ability when I became Paw Noir" Adrien said.

"It could still be there. You're the holder of destruction, Adrien" Felix said taking a sip of his root beer.

"I'm not killing anyone anymore. So it's bye-bye to the kiss of death" Adrien said.

"So what's gonna happen if Luka or someone else like him would do the same thing he did to you? He put you through hell and someone else would do the same to you. The world we live in, it can repeat history itself to the point Claw Noir will rise from his grave" Felix said, tossing the empty soda can aside.

"The prison might change him. And Claw won't rise again and THAT'S FINAL!" Adrien remained firm.

"You're unbelievable, cousin. The reason I left Paris was because you were insane. But now you are reformed, who knows what's gonna happen if Paw Noir dies. Every hero has a weakness. It's common for good people to kill to survive. My father tried to kill me but I survived by stabbing his leg. Doing nothing doesn't do shit" Felix said.

"Yes, but I was Claw Noir for stupid reasons," Adrien said.

"Everyone does stupid reasons in life, Adrien. You wanted to kill so you don't have to be a coward all your life. As for me, I was a coward too because I was like a lost puppy scared of everyone going to torture me. But doing something beyond evil reduces our fears" Felix said.

"But then I found love. Evil destroys, love brings healing" Adrien explained why he did a different path, "And I was wrong, I was a coward the whole time even when I killed" He adds.

Felix walks up slowly to his face, "You will always be a scaredy cat the same way I was. Being a superhero is just a new beginning for you. You don't know what good people do in life other than suffer" Felix said before taking his leave.

"You'll never know," Adrien said.

-

At the prison, Cerise was alone in her cell. Every fake mom she fooled, all were mad at her and at themselves for falling for the deception they never thought would be that powerful. Luka was enraged at her using him and felt guilty hurting Marinette and Adrien.

"I can't believe I fell for an evil bitch spell by you!" Luka said.

"You and Kim were merely my pawns. You have yourself to blame for breaking her heart!" Cerise said.

"You think it's my fault? Let's recap, you constantly like to lie like a monster instead of being a regular human being. But then I thought I loved the girl but you corrupted me and Chloe like pawns! If you never met me, I would still be with my melody girl! And you also lost everything before you became a liar!" Luka yelled.

"They were a waste of time," Cerise said.

"But now you become a waste of time too, psycho!" Luka said.

Soon enough the guard came up, "Luka, you've received your parole from Mr. Agreste"

"What?" Luka said.

"Yes, he has paid your bail," The guard said.

"Which Agreste are you talking about?" Luka asked.

"The younger one" The guard opened the cell door to let him out, "See you in Hell, Cerise" He sneered at Cerise.

On his way out, he came to the dressing room to get changed but Adrien stood there with his arms crossed, "I knew Cerise would annoy you with her bitchy lies" Adrien sneered.

"Don't give me that look. I know what you're gonna say" Luka stripped himself to almost naked, not caring if Adrien saw him.

"I came to get you out, not skin your ass alive for breaking Marinette's heart. I'm not that evil cat anymore" Adrien chuckled.

"Funny" Luka puts on his shirt before stripping his prison pants, "As I remember correctly, you constantly tried to kill my ass and try to rip off my forked tongue from ever speaking parseltongue to you"

"I used to. But I'm giving you one chance at redemption" Adrien said.

"Hmph, it sounds like you have a thing for me in redeeming myself for what I put you through in hell" Luka puts his pants on.

"I don't. I'm with Marinette now since her heart is opened again" Adrien said.

"Really? I was corrupted by Cerise thinking I would get what I want turns out I was just her damn pawn. In the end, I lost all trust from everyone. Maybe that's why my dad abandoned me because I was a lame son" Luka puts on his shoes.

"Cerise won't be corrupting anyone, Luka. And for the record, Cerise already destroyed her own reputation because she chose to be a liar. Like she thinks lying will get her what she wants but she will always be a fraud, a con, a liar, a phony to the world" Adrien said.

"Of course. And thank you for freeing me" Luka said.

"For now" Adrien tossed the snake miraculous back to him, "Don't screw up your second chance or I'm coming for you again"

"Got it. Every hero once needs a nemesis" Luka said.

"Yup. But technically I'm an anti-hero. It's a big difference. But if you do something to piss off my nine lives, your ass will be mine" Adrien said.

"Yep," Luka said as they headed out.

"I do mean it, Luka. You already traumatized my ass before, this time you better not do that again" Adrien said.

"I won't," Luka said.

"Anyways, I got my own nine lives to do," Adrien said.

"Good luck," Luka said, heading to the car where his sister and mother were waiting for him.

Later, Paw Noir was on his way to stop a group of bad guys trying to rob the place again but instead of making his entrance, he decides to do his former sneak in to distract those bad boys.

"Get ready boys," The leader said but then heard a scratching noise against metal. They all covered their ears from the torturing noise.

"Hello boys" Paw Noir appeared.

"That alley cat! How cute that you changed your pathetic look like a doofus!" The gang laughed.

"I still got the strength to take you down!" Paw Noir said.

"And you think you can take down 15 of us? You'll die in less than 5 minutes!" They taunted.

"Oh yeah? MEOW!" Paw Noir lunged and tackled them with his staff.

"What the....ARGH!" The leader got swept down.

Paw Noir was very fast like a cheetah and it only took him two minutes to take down 14 bad guys, leaving claw marks on their faces as a message from the cat.

"Meow, I do have soft paws but my claws do love a good scratch as my paw-tograph" Paw Noir sneered.

"Okay! Okay! I literally get the message! Don't claw my face! I just shaved this morning!" The leader begged for mercy.

"But your men got them," Paw Noir said.

He almost felt his inner lust to kill but held back, "I kicked all your big boys' ass and I can do the same to you. Drop the stolen items or my claws will rip off your tongue before you can say cat got your tongue" Paw Noir unsheathed his claws to make this very serious.

"Okay! You got it!" The leader ordered his men.

"Good" Paw Noir smirked.

"What the bloody hell? You scratched my fucking face!" One of them complained.

"You're facing Paris's new anti-hero," Paw Noir said.

"Fuck!" Another winced at how painful the claw marks on his face felt.

"Speaking of which, the cops coming" Paw Noir stood next to the entrance door and used a cataclysm to stop the bad guys from escaping, "You move, you die. Live or die" Paw Noir warned.

"No, please! Spare us!" Many begged.

"Then listen to this kitty. Black cats are bad luck like breaking a mirror is 7 years bad luck" Paw Noir chuckled.

"Yes, Noir" The leader nodded.

-

A while later after they got arrested, Paw Noir was awarded with tuna fish sandwich. Not his favorite but his inner feline tendencies love fish.

He was sitting at the water fountain of the park, having his peaceful moment until his reflection of his former villain self appeared.

"You're resisting too much, soft paws! You should've let me kill!" Claw Noir said sadistically.

Paw Noir grunts angrily and jumps to the roof to get away from him but then his shadow morphs into Claw Noir like his mind is playing tricks.

"Awww.....a conscience battle, huh? I may be dead but I never left your memories" Claw Noir sneered with glowing purple eyes.

"My memories of you are from the past now. I'm living the present now" Paw Noir backs away.

"Some bad memories are like a sticky glue that cannot be forgotten, soft paws" Claw Noir chuckled.

"I'm not that guy anymore! I don't kill anymore as Paw Noir!" Paw Noir fighting his conscience.

"You're weaker than I thought. Why refuse your dark side?" Claw Noir's eyes were purple without pupils and irises.

"I did all villainy for nothing! My father never forgot Mother! You used me!" Paw Noir growled.

"I didn't use you, Adrien! I let you survive by killing! You're still a young kitten, you haven't become big like a panther" Claw Noir growled lowly with a twisted smirk.

"You blinded me for too long. Mother never wanted me to kill! If anyone's weak it's you, Claw!" Paw saw Claw Noir shrink as he's defied.

"I'm the weak one? You were a coward before you were given a miraculous. If that didn't happen, you wouldn't last for long!" Claw Noir said.

"Was a coward but now I'm not! I was still a kid! Claw Noir may have saved my life to fight my fear but Paw Noir helped me find a better path! I have no use for you anymore! You're finished!" Paw Noir stood his ground.

"I will always find a way to control your inner addiction to killing!" Claw Noir disappeared.

"You never will, once you're erased," Paw Noir said.

Breathing in and out calmly to calm down that he felt the need for yoga to clear his mind off, "You are not that evil cat. You are not that evil cat" He said to himself.

Once he felt calm, he stood up to find Ladybug, surely she had purified all evil from her heart. He caught her scent a mile away and went to find her. She just helped a regular cat out from a tree and handed it to its owner.

"Cute" Paw Noir chuckled.

"Hey there kitty cat," Ladybug said.

"So you do see my children adorable?" Paw Noir crawled around her.

"Yeah, but you're the best one" Ladybug scratched his chin.

"Puuuuuuurrrrrrr" He purred happily.

"Awww" Ladybug chuckled.

"Meow" He rubbed his head against her neck.

Ladybug kept petting her boyfriend's hair, "You really do have an emotional need. Can you resist this?" Ladybug turns on the laser dot.

It triggered the feline's emotional need by pouncing on it but missed, desperate to chase it, "MEOW!" He leaps after it.

"Come on! I'm desperate! I'm starving for emotional need!" Paw Noir couldn't help himself.

"Hehehehe......kitty" Ladybug laughed.

Paw Noir jumps around chasing the dot while Ladybug feels amused, "Stop! Enough!" Paw Noir begged.

"Okay, okay" Ladybug puts it away.

Paw Noir panting from exhaustion, "Don't ever do that again. Sheesh"

"Okay, I won't Kitty" Ladybug held him close.

"Damn it that was cruel" Paw Noir licked her cheek affectionately.

"Sorry. But it's cute when you act like a cat" Ladybug played with his bell.

"A badass cat" Paw Noir corrected her.

"Mmhmm. Come here" Ladybug kissed him.

The two continued being Paris heroes after renouncing their evil ways. With the Supreme enraged by their betrayals, he sends more threats but none prevails against the new sense of justice they now serve.
