Cat Noir was a bit numb from the tranquilizer earlier that gave him side effects of sedation. He grabbed his utility belt and his whip to fight with. The only problem now he has bare hands.

"She can't be far" He sniffed.

Ladybug was still in shock to know his true identity. An innocent model boy who is Cat Noir the infamous thief but with a moral code.

"She must be heading for the exit, Kitty," She said.

Suddenly, he got stabbed by the needle suction on his arm by one of her goons.

"Agh! No!" Cat Noir couldn't move from the paralysis.

"Hands off him!" Ladybug kicked the goon in the stomach.

The needle with his blood was tossed to the next goon to give to their boss. Cat Noir has been paralyzed before but it only takes a couple minutes for the nerves to recover a bit.

"Kitty!" Ladybug helps him up.

"I'm okay" Cat Noir bangs his arm on the wall, cracking it to make the nerves move but it did hurt a lot, "Agh, fuck!"

"We must get out of here!" Ladybug helped him run.

"Damn it, I hate keeping this to myself! It's Gabriel Agreste! He wants my blood but he doesn't know I'm the Werecat!" Cat Noir ran with her.

"What?!" Ladybug gasped.

"That's what I heard! I don't know why but if he uses that on himself, he'll mutate and definitely and possibly can't turn back into a human ever again!" Cat Noir said, unsure why his father is doing this but if a person tastes werecat blood, it can be lethal, dangerous, or poisoning.

"We'll find out soon," Ladybug said.

"A rat once bit me and it mutated it," Cat Noir said, pulling Ladybug back in from the gunfire.

"Let's not have you bleed again," Ladybug said.

"We better hurry!" Cat Noir ran faster.

"Get down!" Ladybug tackled him from the bullets.

"CATACLYSM!" Cat Noir used his powers on a pillar.

"Move! Move!" The henchmen tried to run but were crushed.

The two teens ran out of the catacombs in time. Until they were in the sewers connected to the catacombs which had very ancient skulls which would've decayed soon enough but it was home for rats.

"We should be safe here for now," Ladybug said.

Cat Noir shuddered at the skulls infested with rats, "Remind me not to have my corpse next to these dead skulls"

"Of course" Ladybug sat near him.

"They got my blood sample. Damn it. No wonder my father was being busy with everything" Cat Noir removed his mask.

"Because he worked with Lie-la," Ladybug said.

"He's so stupid to trust a liar," Adrien said.

"Stupid or not, he's not using his common sense. We gotta get to your mansion now" Ladybug said.

"How? We can't just break in. We don't know his motive or his purpose. Only Lila knows" Adrien said.

"Do you have any better ideas?" Ladybug said.

"We find Lila first," Adrien said before putting his mask on.

"Yes, let's go" Ladybug ran.

"I can't lose control again. If this happens, run as fast as you can" Cat Noir ran with her, to find a way out.

"Okay kitty cat" Ladybug nodded.

"I mean it. Every day at the mansion, my inner beast wanted to kill my father and it was hard to maintain a right mind. Which is why I became a thief to lure myself away from isolation" Cat Noir punched the dead-end block to get through.

"You could've made friends rather than steal things" Ladybug suggested.

"I did as Adrien but not as Cat Noir," Cat Noir said.

"Both are the same person" Ladybug swung up to the manhole of the sewer.

"I know" Cat Noir came after her.

They snuck back to the mansion without being detected.

"Lila has to be in that mansion. Knowing her, she's good at manipulating her minions" Cat Noir said.

"I know. I've observed her for some time" Ladybug said.

"My father barely ever talks to me much. Ever since my mom died, he was never the same anymore" Cat Noir said, using his gadgets to destroy the cameras.

"Allow me" Ladybug took out an EMP device to shut them down, "That should shut them down for a while," She said.

"It's time that my father comes to his senses right now before Lila tries anything foolish to convince my father" Cat Noir wall climbs from the mansion to the balcony.

"As soon as possible" Ladybug followed him.

Volpina gave the blood sample to Gabriel in a secret hidden passage chamber underground which was like a lab with scientists who were kicked out of university or driven into madness for mad experiments.

"Now, let's analyze it first," Gabriel said.

"You do know he'll get angry," Volpina said.

"We just need to be sure it's safe," Gabriel said.

"Only he can survive it," Volpina said.

The alarm blared that there were intruders in the mansion and the footage camera indoors picked up Ladybug and Cat Noir fighting goons in the way. Cat Noir looked very pissed and when he saw the camera, he made a jump at it and punched the camera to lose signal.

"Cat Noir must have followed me!" Volpina realized.

Gabriel checked the outside footage cameras but all were destroyed except one when he saw graffiti green cat paw marks on his mansion walls, "That little! Stall them! Now!"

"Yes sir!" One of his goons rushed.

"You sure that's a good idea? Your son will definitely find out why there's a bloody fight in the mansion" Volpina chuckled at how Gabriel would react that his son is the werecat and no longer the bright sunshine he is.

"Better not," Gabriel said.

"He'll find out for sure" Volpina laughed at how foolish he is that Adrien was here all along.

Ladybug and Cat Noir fought against Volpinas henchmen in the mansion. The feline thief was proven stronger and whipped them brutally to hear them beg for mercy. Ladybug did not wanna get on his bad side since he was too angry to wanna have a long talk with his father. Cat Noir then threw one of the goons through the window.

"Careful! I don't wanna bleed all over you! Agh!" Cat Noir got stabbed in his shoulder but he kicked the goon off, removing the knife off his shoulder covered in blood with radioactive cells lethal to the touch. Ladybug kneed one goon and then threw him over.

"Okay, that's enough!" Cat Noir bared his claws for the goons to get clawed to death or stop fighting, "Tell me where that fox is or my claws will do the talking! Now!"

"In the secret lab, below Gabriel's office!" The goon confessed.

"Where do I find it?!" Cat Noir demanded.

"That painting portrait of a woman! I swear! Don't claw my face! That man is a maniac than our boss! If I were you, I wouldn't get him pissed off!" The goon yelped by the grip.

"He'll face my wrath!" Cat Noir tossed him aside.

"Cat Noir wait!" Ladybug followed.

"This has nothing to do with you, milady" Cat Noir heads in his father's office.

"But it is now! I can't let you kill him like that!" Ladybug got in front of him.

"Milady, I spent 2 fucking years in isolation. In my whole life, I never went to public school until now. I cannot change what I am now. Not even my own father would want a son who is not only a thief but a monster. I never wanted to be a werecat but it did give me more freedom than a regular boy" Cat Noir went around her to get to the portrait and moved it aside to see the buttons on it.

"You're gonna feel hatred if something makes you wanna hate something forever in your life!" Ladybug trying to get him to listen.

"My father has gone too far!" Cat Noir replied.

"Adrien, stop! This isn't you! Lila is trying to make you play her games!" Ladybug yelled.

Cat Noir stopped at her words, "You don't know what it's like to lose a mother! My father drifted apart from me! I had to take care of myself without my father! At least you still have a family to love you, I don't! Like a street cat abandoned on the streets alone!" Cat Noir letting out his bottled-up emotions.

"Kitty, you may think you lost everything but you didn't. I never threw your ass in jail because I spared you" Ladybug said, refusing to let him move.

"You did?" Cat Noir asked.

"Yes, I've seen how different you were from other bad guys," Ladybug said.

"Milady, the reason I'm different is because they don't have supernatural powers like me," Cat Noir said.

"And your father was very wrong to distance you in the dark. It wasn't your fault, it was his. But taking revenge on him is not gonna make the pain go away" Ladybug said.

"You're right, Bugaboo" Cat Noir said.

"Lila did betray you but it was all on her and yet she can't even fix one damn mistake to learn from," Ladybug said.

"Milady, as much as I like your speeches of justice, my father has my blood sample. We don't know what he's gonna do" Cat Noir getting impatient.

"I'm coming with you," Ladybug said.

"Fine" Cat Noir gave up, "Like I said, you can't leave my ass alone"

"And I never will let your ass die" Ladybug used a gadget on the button panel to know the code. She typed it in and the hidden elevator opened.

"Clever bug. SHIT!" Cat Noir pushed Ladybug down and quickly used his whip to cut off the thug's hand with a gun.

"ARRGH!" The thug clutched his stumped limb.

"How dare you try to point your damn gun at us!" Cat Noir whips him again.

"Go! I'll deal with these big boys! Go!" Ladybug said while taking out her taser gadget.

"Got it Bugaboo!" Cat Noir runs to get to Volpina and Gabriel in the secret passageway that opened up.

He soon saw her standing on a catwalk, "Hello Cat Noir" She took her flute out.

"Play that flute one more time and you're gonna be my prey again!" Cat Noir bears his claws.

"Ooh, are you still pissed off like a panther that you did not catch your prey?" Volpina mocked.

"Let's settle this, Lie-la!" Cat Noir bears his claws.

"The fox always does the pouncing!" Volpina laughed and engaged.

Cat Noir strikes at her with his claws and then threw a punch, "Tell me why you're doing this, bitch?! I want answers now!"

"Simple, I will improve your blood and become the superior were-creature of Paris!" Volpina laughed.

"You're insane! If you do that, you'll lose your humanity and cannot revert to human ever again!" Cat Noir said before jumping on her into a headlock with his legs, "Give up Volpina!" He demanded.

"You're not a killer!" Volpina choked.

"Try me!" Cat Noir gripped his legs tighter to make her fall down with him, "I can break your neck if you don't yield now! As revenge for betraying me that fucking night!"

Volpina struggled but couldn't break free, "Then kill me if that's what you want!" Volpina injected the blood serum into herself, pushing him aside.

"Shit!" Cat Noir saw her mutate.
