(Adrien's POV)

The next day I'm at school and everyone was looking at their phones, listening to the video from the Ladyblog about me forgiving Ladybug yesterday. But I'm still a thief as Cat Noir. Some are saying that Cat Noir saved a street cat, some say he doesn't kill innocents, some say he's a bad guy. It seems I'm getting the attention Ladybug had.

"It's so cute. He rescued a pregnant street cat" Rose squealed.

"Proves he still has sympathy," Juleka said.

"I told you he's not like a villain," Marinette said.

"But when will he ever come back as a hero? Ladybug is probably trying so hard to reason with him" Nino said.

"Oh, please. Cat Noir is obviously angry at her. He wouldn't forgive her that easily" Chloe being bratty as usual.

"Excuse me? We saw the video of her apologizing to him and him forgiving her! I was there filming it!" Alya came to the defense.

"He's a cat burglar. He steals things for what? To build a cat lair? He should be locked up in a zoo filled with panthers. That's where he belongs" Chloe laughed obnoxiously.

"He may be a criminal but he's not a killer, Chloe! He saved my life the other day! He still has a bit of heart!" Marinette glared at her.

"Oh please, once a thief always a thief," Chloe said.

I can't take this anymore. I gotta quietly sneak out of the room so I can come here as Cat Noir. While the whole class is arguing with Chloe, I casually walked out of the class to pretend to get some fresh air. I head downstairs to the locker room and hid in my locker where my counterpart feline is in case I need a plan B.

"Meow" She meowed.

"Time for Plan B, little one. Plagg claws out!" I transformed into Cat Noir in a bright green flash.

(Marinette's POV)

"You need to stop judging people by what they are, Chloe! That's not how it always seems!" I argued with her.

"Marinette is right, Chloe. I'm a reporter and I always check my facts!" Alya sided with me.

"Do you think Cat Noir cares about anyone? He didn't even go find my Adrikins! It's like he wanted him to disappear!" Chloe accusing of Cat Noir.

"Is that a way to treat a cat, Chloe?" A familiar flirty voice startled us when we saw Cat Noir out of nowhere.

He was leaning against the teacher's desk while petting a black cat with green eyes in his arms. Wait! Where's Aiden? Oh, that's right. He doesn't like being involved in arguments. I can't believe he's missing this. Alya took out her phone to record Cat Noir.

"Cat Noir?! How dare you show your face here!" Chloe glared at him but he did the scary glare with slanted feline pupils.

"And how dare you accuse me without facts, Chloe. Cats don't like to feel threatened" He smirked evilly but there was a bit of his humorous side, "And besides you do remember I could bring bad luck with this cat." He chuckled.

"That's just a dumb myth, alley cat! Get that beast out of here!" Chloe threatened him.

"Tsk tsk tsk. You still haven't changed a bit. Do you think everyone adores you? Let's see what my precious kitty thinks of you. She's really good at sensing who is good and bad" Cat Noir grinned and brought the cat up close to Chloe while we all watched.

The cat hissed at Chloe and leaped at her trying to claw at her, "OW! AGH! Get this clawed savage beast away!" Chloe got scratched while holding it away.

"That's what happens when cats feel threatened. You got a lot to learn that animals have feelings, Chloe" He chuckled and whistled for his cat to come back to him. The cat jumped in his arms, purring.

My classmates and I laughed that Cat Noir is right that cats can sense a person's good or bad quality. Even Sabrina laughed too but got scared by Chloe's glare.

"It's not funny." Chloe said to her but also noticed that her blond hair is messed up, "My hair! Do you have any idea how long it took to style it this morning?!" Chloe complained like an annoying brat.

"Style it again" Cat Noir laughed a little that he did not care, "Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, I did forgive Ladybug and the Ladyblogger yesterday but milady still has a long way to tame a wild street cat like me. I'm still waiting for everyone in Paris to earn my forgiveness." He smiled a little while petting his cat in his arms which meowed in happiness.

"Mr. Noir? Will you become a hero again someday?" Rose asked nicely.

"It's hard to say when. But you can call me an anti-hero in a way." Cat Noir said.

"Is it true that you rescued a pregnant cat and brought it to a rescue animal shelter?" Mylene asked.

"Yes, she was gonna be in labor soon." Cat Noir replied.

"You see, guys. Cat Noir has a heart" I said to them.

Cat Noir goes up to me and puts the cat on my desk, "Indeed I do, my princess. By the way, my kitty wants to be with you for a little while. Don't worry, I'll pick her up tonight after my fun in stealing puuuurrrfect shiny things. And I hear that every princess has an animal sidekick. Meow" He flirted with me while the cat rubbed her head on my chest while pacing back and forth.

"Okay. Thank you." I thanked Cat Noir.

"See you all soon." Cat Noir left the classroom by going out the window.

(Adrien's POV)

I jumped to the other side of the school building and into the open window of the locker room. No one saw me and I hid in my locker to de-transform back to Aiden Bastet.

"Are you ever gonna stop being so flirty to Marinette?" Plagg complained.

"I can't show my Adrien side, Plagg. She'll get suspicious of me." I got out of my locker, "And I did forgive Ladybug yesterday but she still has a long way to tame me" I reminded him.

"Yep. But I better be hiding." Plagg hides in my jacket.

I heard the classmates coming into the locker room right when Plagg hid in my leather jacket. What I saw was the girls looking at Marinette with the cat in her arms.

"Is that your cat?" I pretended to not know.

"Cat Noir asked me to look after her," Marinette said.

"Really? Did he show up in school without a threat? It seems I missed everything." I pretended to sound disappointed.

"Better luck next time, Aiden," Marinette said, holding the cat to let her nuzzle her face.

"Yeah. Does he have a name?" I asked.

"No but it's not a he, it's a she. Perhaps I'll call her Catty Noir" Marinette said.

"A female counterpart name? Nice" Alya chuckled.

"Yeah, cute." Marinette smiled.

Very cute and funny, my princess but I like the name for my cat. I closed my locker and head out but Marinette tagged along with Catty Noir.

"So what are you gonna do? Do you always like to be a lone wolf?" She asked me.

"Yup, it's what a wolf like me would do, Marinette. Wolves are great at singing to the full moon" I teased.

"Great. Let's hope you're not a werewolf then." Marinette joked.

"Aaarrroooo......" I howled quietly which made her laugh a little.

"Anyways, I'll see you around, Aiden. I gotta feed this cat some warm milk. Don't let the full moon change you" She teased me and went in the direction of the bakery place.

Around dusk, I as Cat Noir about to steal some cat food from the pet store but I heard a burst of evil laughter that sounded very girly. Oh no! Not her again! Stormy Weather! Yup, it's her all right. The sky became black with purple lightning again.

I wanted to ignore it since Ladybug can take care of that. I was gonna claw the glass window but the lightning almost missed me. Grrr!!!

"Do I have to be the hero again?!" I groaned in frustration that Ladybug needs my help. I head into the alley and saw a biker getting ready to leave with his Ducati bike but I took out my baton and knocked him out but he didn't go unconscious. He just stumbled near the dumpster.

"Nice ride. Mind if I drive?" I asked in a scary tone and he just ran off. I may be 15 but I once drove a tour bus during the Zombizou incident. I turned on the ignition and drove out of the alley and went to find Ladybug.

(Ladybug's POV)

I wish I can call Cat Noir from my yo-yo but he blocked me for a year. Where are you, Cat Noir? I was battling Stormy Weather at the same spot where we first fought the first time. She cast lightning from her parasol but I dodged them with my agility.

Suddenly, she got hit by an extended baton and stumbled against the building. I saw it was Cat Noir riding a Ducati bike. Are you crazy, cat?! You're not old enough to drive without a license!

"Are you gonna stare at me or get on? I don't have all day until Coldi-locks starts to chase us. As in right now" Cat Noir said right when Storm Weather recovered and pushed the debris off.

"You're so done for it, Ladybug, and well, your ex-partner Cat Noir." Stormy weather creates two tornadoes at us.

I quickly got on and Cat Noir drove which made the ignition roar like a lion. We dodged the tornadoes and we head to the street while Stormy Weather chased us.

"Since when do you know how to drive a motorcycle? You're underage!" I held his waist to not fall off.

"Have you forgotten, bugaboo? I can do anything." He made a sharp turn to dodge the lightning behind us, "And you did remember I drove a tour bus once" He reminded me of the Zombizou incident.

"Good point Kitty. WATCH OUT!" I saw lightning hit a gas truck making it explode, but Cat Noir drove up a plank laying on a concrete pipe to leap over the fire.

"You can't get away from me! Your reunion is over!" Stormy Weather pursuing us while Cat Noir took a left turn of the street.

"Shadow Moth knows my identity. If I get captured, I'm dead for real." Cat Noir said while quickly looking back and then at the street.

"Not if we work together like old times!" I said.

"Well, it's gonna be hard to stop for a lucky charm." Cat Noir said.

"The alley! Get in the alley!" I quickly said and he took a sharp right turn to the alley which made Stormy Weather lose us.

We stopped so that I can summon my lucky charm and out came a confetti cannon, "A confetti cannon? But what should I use it for?" I looked at it.

"Perhaps blow it in her face blindly I guess." Cat Noir still hasn't made any puns. I really miss his humor.

I looked at him and his bike at how to use my lucky charm.

"Okay, I got a plan. You distract her and I'll be on the roof waiting for her to create a tornado. That way the confetti can blind her and I grab her parasol" I told him the plan.

He sighed in frustration, "Fine. But after this, I'm back to stealing. You have a long way to tame me, milady. Now go" He said as I wall jump to the roof.

(Cat Noir's POV)

I may use to be second in command but she's still gonna need my help as her ex-partner. I drive the bike out of the alley and was spotted by Stormy Weather.

"Well well well. Is the cat afraid of the rain? Driving too fast on wet roads causes hydroplaning" Stormy Weather laughed.

"Oh do shut up! Not all cats are afraid of water! If you're there, Shadow Moth! Come and get me!" I hit the acceleration and drove so she can chase me.

"The hard way it is!" Stormy weather chased after me. I saw Ladybug run on the rooftop with the confetti cannon. I looked back and saw her casting lighting from her parasol but I dodged left and right.

"Just a little longer!" I drove to where Ladybug is heading to.

She ran up to the park and stops right there as I made another turn.

"Looks like I'll destroy you first Ladybug, then the miraculous is mine." Stormy weather held her umbrella to create a tornado again.

"Okay, this is my cue!" I revved the motorbike and drove towards the tornado.

"Catch!" Ladybug threw the confetti cannon to me. I caught it in midair and pulled the bottom of the gun unleashing red and black confetti.

It swirled around and around in the tornado and it blinded Stormy Weather to get covered in confetti. She lost focus on the tornado and the Ducati and I landed on the ground without damage. She dropped her parasol on the ground and I just stomped on it to release the akuma, "Your turn, bugaboo!"

"Right!" Ladybug threw her yoyo and caught the akuma, "Time to de-evilize!" She purified it, "Bye-bye little butterfly. MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" She threw the confetti cannon into millions of ladybugs to fix the damage. The dark sky returns to an orange-yellow sky of dusk.

"Good job Kitty." Ladybug said.

"You're welcome for now Ladybug," I said.

We saw Stormy Weather get consumed by black-purple particles and she came out as a normal girl.

"Anyways, I gotta go. Things to steal, mice to hunt, and some fish to eat." I flirted with my lady.

"Kitty, can you unblock me? You know I might need you again" Ladybug begged but I'm not going to offer that.

"No can do, bugaboo. Oh no, not that annoying buggy doll eyes. Don't you dare" I begged her to stop but she still does the cute puppy eyes at me which made me give in, "Fine but do not find where I live." I warned her.

"Bug's honor" She held out her hand as a promise.

I took out my baton phone and go in my contacts to unblock her contact, "There, happy now?"

"Yes, I am, ex-partner." She fist-bumps with me.

I pulled her close to me as her body touched mine, "Meow" I softly licked her cheek like a cat.

"That tickles." Ladybug giggled.

"Like I always say, milady. To know me is to love me" I purred in her ear.

"Yeah. See you later." Ladybug ran the opposite way.

"Just like old times" I got on the Ducati and drove. Hope for sure the owner has insurance.
