Adrien just came out of the movie theaters of watching Avatar The Way Of Water. He really liked it and he can't wait to get it on DVD in a few months. It was dark outside and the movie sure was long.

"Time for this bad kitty to get sexy and wild" Adrien smirked.

"Nightclub again? You do know that place has nasty criminals" Plagg said.

"I'm the prince of thieves and I'm ready for rumble" Adrien grinned dangerously.

"You are becoming very wild" Plagg rolled his eyes.

"I know. Plagg claws out!" He transformed into Cat Noir.

He soon arrived at the Moth Night club, named after the late Shadow Moth. He may hate that name but it was the only criminal nightclub in Paris. He headed to the entrance, walking past the guard outside. Music blaring so loud that he didn't even care. The only thing that matters is respect and his reputation as the prince of thieves.

"One glass of milk please" He ordered at the bar.

"Like a kitten lost his mother. Is that all you drink, kitty?" The bartender laughed and hands him a glass of milk.

"Just my favorite" Cat Noir replied and gulped some of the milk.

"And very young to be a criminal for a year," The bartender said.

"That's why I'm not the king yet," Cat Noir said.

"You do know someone can overthrow you," The bartender said.

"Ladybug can but I broke her earlier," Cat Noir said and his cat ears twitched that the bad gang from behind was about to stab a knife at his head.

So he dodged and the knife hit the chair he was sitting on. The feline glared at the criminal and extends his claws, grabbed the knife off the chair, and threw it at the criminal's leg.

"YEEEEEEOW!!!"

"That's what happens when you mess with the prince of thieves!" Cat Noir warned them.

"Let's declaw this kitten!" Another thug took out a crowbar.

Cat Noir hissed and rushed towards the thug, jumping on him, locking his legs on the thug's neck, and falling down with him. He elbow-strike him in the stomach and knocked him out.

"Anyone else wanna declaw my claws?" Cat Noir asked coldly but the remaining thugs backed off in fear, "That's what I thought" Cat Noir smirked and goes on stage to pole dance with the ladies. He unzips his suit to show his bare torso, gaining the attention of the ladies.

"Look at that Cat," One girl said.

"So meowing," Another said.

"And purrfect" The third one said.

"Merci, ladies" Cat Noir purred and spun around the pole. His tail swished as he danced.

"We love you Cat Noir!" They cried out.

Cat Noir then spins around the pole and bent backward.

-

Outside, Marinette was currently Multimouse, deciding to temporarily put Ladybug to rest to not further provoke Cat Noir. He may be a cat but he does have cat instincts like catching a mouse.

"Well just enough time waiting for him to catch the mouse instead of the bug," Multimouse said.

She felt like she's being watched and when she saw Cat Noir appear, he crawled on all fours around like a cat. Twirling her tail and sniffing her hair seductively.

"Meow, so delicious to taste a mouse" Cat Noir licked her cheek.

"Hello pussy cat" Multimouse blushed.

"What are you doing out in the predator territory at night?" Cat Noir purred seductively, "You know cats eat mice"

"Perhaps I should have been the dog" Multimouse teased.

"Cats and dogs don't get along, my prey" Cat Noir pinned her against the alley wall, "I wish I can eat you but you're just too cute and adorable"

"Thank you, kitty cat" Multimouse smiled nervously.

"So why did you come?" He stroked her legs that were wrapped around his waist, "You miss your favorite cat burglar?"

"Yes, I did" Multimouse replied.

He purred when felt his lower region harden a little that the mouse's legs were tightening his waist, "I'm guessing milady is afraid that I'm pissed and she sent a mouse for me to eat"

"I don't work for her anymore. She's on her own" Multimouse said.

"Then how did you get this?" Cat Noir pointed at the mouse miraculous.

"I took it from her after hearing what she planned to do, replace you," Multimouse said.

"So Rena Furtive told you too? Well, I'm not gonna forgive her at all. In fact, Paris can live without her" Cat Noir said with resentment.

"Kitty, calm down" Multimouse tightened her legs around his waist.

He let a groan, "What are you doing?" He asked while stroking her legs.

"Don't let your anger consume you. You'll become what you hate" Multimouse said.

"The only things I hate is being left out, abandoned, secrets, and liars. Those are things Ladybug did to me, princess. I gave up on being a hero because being a hero leads to pain" Cat Noir nibbled her neck.

The mouse moaned quietly, "I'm sure your lady didn't mean those things"

"That's still no excuse. Abusing her favorite partner led to his pain and he felt abandoned by Paris" Cat Noir moved her legs off his waist, "I closed my heart a long time ago, princess. Ladybug was the only girl I loved but then I realized it was just a stupid fantasy"

"What if Ladybug dies? You wouldn't care?" Multimouse tested his morality.

Cat Noir sighs in defeat, "I'm not that heartless, princess. Of course, I would care. I may kill bad men but I don't kill women or children"

"I hardly recognize you, Kitty," Multimouse said in disbelief.

"That's another thing heroes don't see. They see villains as monsters but they don't understand their past at how they became bad" Cat Noir twirls his baton, "You need to go, princess. This place is filled with nasty thieves and I don't want you to get hurt"

"See you soon Kitty" Multimouse runs off from the area.

Once back at her apartment, Marinette was in further disappointed in herself for making Noir a villain due to her selfishness.

Cat Noir was right about one thing; she was being too hard on herself and no matter how many times her kitty tried to help her, she pushes him away.

"That day I say I was gonna replace him was the worst yet. The more I show up as Ladybug the more I'll provoke him" Marinette said.

"You're not gonna renounce me, are you?" Tikki asked.

"No, there has to be something I can do to undo my biggest mistake. Why didn't I consider making him co-guardian?" Marinette said.

"Maybe because you're too focused on duties instead of friendship," Roarr said.

"Like the time you got your girlfriends akumatized," Fluff said.

"I know, it is time Ladybug takes a vacation and Marinette steps up" Marinette removes her earrings, "I'm sorry Tikki, But I need a break from duties as a hero"

She heard a thud on the roof and she guessed it was her kitty coming to have affection and treats again.

"Everyone hide," She told the kwamis and she went to open the trapdoor.

"Meow, my lovely little mouse" Cat Noir comes inside, "Such a shame you didn't find any cheese"

"Yeah, what a pity" Marinette chuckled nervously.

"I didn't mean to upset you but I had to let all the pain out. It's just I never talk about it to anyone but to my kwami" Cat Noir licked her cheek.

"Well you always got me, Cat Noir," Marinette said.

"And that's why every princess has an animal to talk to" Cat Noir purred.

"Yeah, of course. One thing positive is that Shadow Moth has no successor" Marinette said.

"But Paris has criminals now. They never came out because of Shadow Moth" Cat Noir lies down next to her.

"Yep. So far Lie-la hasn't pulled any lying stunt" Marinette said.

"If she does, let me know. Better yet, I should sneak in and tell Mr. Damocles to not make that dumb mistake again" Cat Noir growled lowly.

"Yeah, not listening to others' stories would have gotten him fired," Marinette said.

"And your teacher has to take care of her baby," Cat Noir said.

"Yeah, that too" Marinette nuzzled on his chest.

"You know I love you, princess. Even if I'm very untamed and wild, I loved to be petted by you" Cat Noir purred.

"Yeah, I know" Marinette scratched his chin.

Cat Noir purred in delight. Pawing her other hand that he wanted to be petted more.

"Okay Kitty" She pets his blond hair and Cat Noir laid down as she did.

He reached and removed her scrunchies, freeing her hair, "You're too puuuuuuurrrrrretty" Cat Noir purred.

"Thanks, Noir" Marinette smiled.

While getting all the attention from his princess, it was time to go since he wants his princess to get a good night's sleep.

"I must go, princess. I'll be back for you someday" Cat Noir sat up.

"You're sparing the mouse?" Marinette asked with a tease.

"Yes, I am, my princess" Cat Noir winked as he left.

Marinette went to sleep as Cat Noir left. A single tear ran down her face.
