(Cat Noir's POV)

"Ladybug, wait. I.....Do you really wanna know where I live? I'll wait until you're charged up" I said as I head out of the jewelry store and went to the alley while she went to the other side of the alley to wait.

A few minutes later she remerged fully charged, "Okay show me."

"First, I gotta carry you so that Shadow Moth doesn't think you're following me," I said as I carried her in bridal style and jumped up to the roof by doing a wall jump. Ladybug held on tight while I jumped.

I then went low to the ground where I came to the same alley maze a year ago from being chased by savage street dogs.

"I gotta warn you, these dogs are very savage and untamed. Hold on tight" I said as I jumped over the fence and quietly sneak in but I know these dogs have good smelling and hearing.

I heard clattering, great, they smell my scent. Time to make a run for it while Ladybug held on tight as I ran.

"Must go faster!" Ladybug heard the dogs.

"Hold on, milady!" I ran as fast as I can. I remember the way to the dead-end of the fence. I heard the dogs barking savagely from behind as I kept going.

I found the end and I made a high jump over the fence and landed safely with my lady in my arms. The dogs barked in anger that they failed to kill me again. I looked back and made an angry cat hiss to intimidate them. They whimpered in fear and tan off since they can't challenge me or climb the fence.

"Good job kitty." She scratched my chin.

"Thanks." I put her down so she can walk, "Follow me" I said as we walked to the direction where the abandoned warehouse is. I moved the wooden plank fence aside and went right through the wooden fence and Ladybug did the same.

Then we came to my lair which is the abandoned warehouse. Everyone thinks it's haunted by ghost cats but that's because my cats are good at spooking intruders to protect me.

"Welcome to my lair, milady. It's a huge interior but I do some graffiti art to keep me sane sometimes" I came to the door and opened it to let her in.

She saw my graffiti art of my superhero name, her name, and the black cat art all over the walls. We walked to the small room where my cats meowed at me, happy to see me but were startled that I brought a friend.

"Nice lair you got kitty." Ladybug looked around.

"Along with my cats as security guards. Some intruders think this abandoned warehouse is haunted by ghost cats. Scaredy-cats" I chuckled and turned on the stolen generator and the lights turned on so Ladybug can see a bit. The cats were still meowing curiously at Ladybug.

"Awww so cute. Has any gotten kids?" Ladybug asked.

"Just one had," I said.

"That's right. You brought a pregnant cat to the animal rescue shelter" Ladybug remembered.

"Yep. And as you can see, most of the furniture here is stolen, including this couch." I sat down with her.

"Bad kitty. You really are a cat burglar" Ladybug teased me.

"I steal things to survive, bugaboo. I will rather be wild and free than put anyone in danger by Hawk Moth if they took me in" I said, pulling her and made her sit on my lap.

"I know. Though I don't mind now that you and I are back on friendly terms." Ladybug said.

"At least you didn't turn me in or I would've gone savage like a lion being caged. I'm a wild criminal, milady" I smirked and stroked her waist.

"No one is gonna do that to my bad boy." Ladybug smirks back, holding my shoulders.

"Oh, I'm your bad boy?" I grinned wickedly.

"That or you prefer Volpina seeing you as a bad boy." Ladybug said.

I made a growl when she said that as I gripped her thighs, "Never" I kissed her hard on the lips.

Ladybug still held on when I kissed her. I gently pushed her down on the couch while I laid on top of her, kissing her aggressively as she moaned a little to the kiss. She stroked my messy hair as I let out a purr which she felt from my chest. Pretty soon I let my tongue in her mouth as she moaned again, tasting her tongue with mine.

Soon we stopped as I rested my forehead on hers, "Lila and Volpina are not my types, milady. She's a fly fox that has tried to eliminate you and nearly got my princess expelled. I never like liars like her"

"Those types of people don't deserve friendship." Ladybug said.

"And Volpina says she might wanna succeed Hawk Moth, ain't gonna happen," I said.

"She's always a liar." Ladybug said, blushing a little since we just made out.

"You're still my bugaboo. Anyways, now you know where I live, you better not tell anyone about my lair. Better be a good girl, milady" I said seductively as I got off of her.

"I promise." Ladybug held her hand up.

"Good. Now then, the night is still on. I'm nocturnal. A cat needs to hunt mice. You might wanna use a horse miraculous to teleport home. It's 20 blocks from here. Night, milady" I winked and jumped out the window.

-

It was midnight and I stole a whip from the pawnshop store 5 minutes ago. Yup, I'm just like Catwoman. But this time, I'm a man with cat instincts. It's time to pay a visit to the Agreste mansion again. For revenge for getting a scar on my stomach by my father. If you think I'm gonna kill him? Wrong. I'm just gonna fight him and then leave. I need to see how well I can improve on fighting a supervillain than just regular criminals that are not super.

I made my way inside the entrance by clawing the window to make a hole and went inside. I don't care if my father or his secretary tells the authorities that Cat Noir broke in. It was dark inside but I can still see. I still see the same portrait of me and my father on the wall.

I walked through the mansion searching for my father, Felix must be already asleep by then. I looked here and there until I was knocked down and fell 5 steps of stairs.

"You picked the wrong house." It was Nathalie.

She came downstairs with a golf club and observed if I'm really knocked out but I just kicked the weapon out of her hands and stood up, giving her a creepy glare stare.

"My list says this is the right house, Nathalie. Where's Gabriel? Is he in a cocoon? Torturing his kwami?" I said with a cold voice.

"It's none of your business. But you need to leave." Nathalie warned.

"This cat never leaves his prey. I hunt wherever I go" I pushed her down the stairs, as she got to the bottom, I pounced on her.

"Now I'm gonna ask you politely one last time. Where is he?!" I demanded.

"The same place you found him last time. You won't survive long enough to defeat him. You got injured" Nathalie said with the same emotionless tone as always.

"I have nine lives. I brought a whip to teach him a lesson. I don't know what you see in him but I woke up and became free from his strict rules" I said coldly and did the Vulcan nerve pinch on the back of her lower neck to make her go unconscious.

I got up and went to my father's office to go in his advanced screen to turn off the alarms, emergencies, and lockdowns so he doesn't try to trap me. I'm not that stupid. It feels good to finally go against a parent. I typed in the password which has gotta be my mother's name.

"Emilie. Bingo." It opened up.

I typed in to disable anything in the house like armed weapons if he has any. I turned off the lockdowns, emergencies, and alarms.

"Puuurrrfect" I smirked and logged out, "What do you think of the new and improved Adrien, father?" I said to myself as I head out of the office and went upstairs to his bedroom to go to that secret passageway that leads to his lair.

I pulled the book like a lever and the portrait slides open and I walked in. I came to the place where my mother is in the glass coffin.

"Oh, mother. I don't know what my father did to you but I don't know if you can come back or Rest In Peace" I sighed and put my hand on the glass lid.

"Coming back to see your mother I see?" Came my father's voice.

"Hawk Moth." I turned around shielding my mother.

I had my hand near my whip, getting ready if he tries anything sneaky again, "I've beaten your fox pal, father and I'll always will again." I said.

"Lila seems to like you. You should've dated her instead of Ladybug" He taunted me.

"I don't date liars like Lila! Whatever you did to mom, you're going to jail for that! You're a terrorist!" I said and grabbed my whip to battle him.

"Just try me!" He held his cane up and I struck my whip near him.

Even with the suit on, my whip is not magical like my baton and it won't slash through the suit but maybe the whipping noise will spook him.

My whip caught his cane and I pulled it to me, snapping it in half with my upper leg, tossing them aside, "What do you think of me now, Dad? A boy who was once naive is now stronger and faster!" I glared.

"Your skills are impressive, but you still don't get it! Only yours and Ladybug's miraculous can save your mother!" Hawk Moth said.

"You're willing to sacrifice your own kid? I'll find another way to bring her back!" I replied in anger.

"And you think you know?! Wishes help everything!" He tried to punch me but I grabbed his arm and judo throw him against the wall.

"Not all wishes come true, Hawk Moth! They have a terrible price to pay in exchange! You can't mess with balance! If you wish her back, you lose your only son! Mom would be angry at you if I took her place!" I hissed and tried to lash him with my whip but he dodged it.

"Screw balance! I wasted 2 years to get those miraculous and I won't rest until I have them!" He yelled.

"NEVER!!!" I attacked him violently, striking him hard with my whip, one hit cut his cheek and one struck him in the chest.

"This is for nearly killing me!" I pulled the whip back and clawed at him before he could punch me back. Then I kicked him hard at the wall and pinned him with my batons. Blood was running from his mouth.

"What are you waiting for Adrien, take it." Hawk Moth groans in pain, urging me to take his miraculous.

"No, I won't. I'm nothing like you. I came only for you hurting me the other night. You can keep it, this time. Vengeance is not the answer, it's justice." I said.

"What will Paris think of you? You think they'll want a cat who is out for blood?" He's trying to get in my head but I'm not falling for that this time. I'm done with them playing my weakness.

"Shut up! I'm not the old Adrien I once was, father. Where were you that night when Sandboy made my nightmare come to life and I was scared and alone by bars trapping me in my room? I screamed for you to help me but you never came! Whenever I beg you to let me do things in my life like my best friend Nino who wanted to throw a birthday party for me. What did you do?! You accused him and akumatized him! You're not a father!" I grabbed him by the throat with my whip and tossed him hard to the wall, "Fathers are kind! Fathers spend time with their sons! Fathers don't lie to sons! Fathers show real love to their sons!" I slowly walked up to him, "My friends that I had were like a real family to me! They were the ones who made me happy but you always think they're a bad influence to me when you're the one who has lied to me about the world being dangerous! TELL ME, FATHER! WHO LEFT ME TO SUFFER IN THE DARK?! WHO MADE ME DO THINGS AGAINST MY WILL?! WHO?!" I yelled at him for an answer and I know what the answer is.

"Me, it was me, Adrien." He flinched, I saw the fear in his eyes.

"And you know what, you choose the wrong path! And don't come near me or my friends again, even my Ladybug!" I let go of him and left, his blood on my hands but I didn't care. I left him there all injured. I picked up the broken piece of his cane, jumped up in the air, and kicked the cane straight like an arrow towards my father but it missed him and it struck the wall near him.

"And you also put me in danger a few times by akumatized villains. That's not what a father would do. We'll meet again, Hawk Moth. Better watch out" I said coldly and left the lair. He'll live for now and if he tries to hurt Ladybug or my friends, I'm coming for him.

I saw Nathalie awake but I pinned her against the wall since I'm not finished with her, "Warn the cops or the authorities, you'll get what's coming. Got that?" I showed her my claws to make her understand what I mean.

She just nodded as I smirked, "Good. And bon voyage!" I left the mansion.
