The next night after his photoshoot all day which was exhausting for him, Cat Noir was not ready to tell his lady yet about how he was able to mutate a little like a werewolf or basically a werecat.

He came to the jewelry store again but was guarded by cops since they came prepared for him. But he also came prepared too with sleep powder bombs to put them to sleep.

He swings down with his whip to reveal the real true masked thief since they have all seen his hoodie, "Good evening, boys. If you don't mind, move aside. If you don't" Cat Noir extracts his claws, "My claws crave for blood deep in your flesh" He chuckled insanely.

"And our taser guns came prepared to tickle you to sleep!" The cops held their guns out.

"Ooh, how abusive of you to abuse a cat. How about you all go for a cat nap?!" Cat Noir threw sleep powder bombs at them, causing the powder to spread to cause slumber on the cops.

"Haha! Sweet dreams!" Cat Noir laughed and pulled out the talkie from the radio station, "Puuuuuuurrrrrrrrr" He purred through the talkie to amuse himself for the police station to hear.

"What the hell is this? Sergeant! Is that purring I hear of a cat?!" The Chief of Police yelled through.

Cat Noir chuckled and tossed the walk-in aside, ignoring the protests while heading inside the store.

"So many shiny things to collect" He smirked.

"And so many nine lives to kill you!" A voice crept up on him and he fought the intruder who looked exactly like him like a Copycat.

"Face to face with myself, Copycat" Cat Noir said.

"Aww....did I steal your badass look?" Copycat tried to jump on him to headlock but Cat Noir moved aside and ran on the wall to do a midair kick.

"Nobody copies my gorgeous face!" Cat Noir said after kicking him down.

"I beg to differ!" Copycat swoops him down.

"Agh! Why are you here?" Cat Noir grabs his head by his legs to headlock him.

"Isn't it obvious? The fox wants you dead!" Copycat tries to claw him.

"Ain't gonna happen!" Cat Noir blocks his punch.

"And you better take off that look! Only one cat can exist!" Cat Noir headbutts him hard.

Copycat groans and tries to claw him but Cat Noir grabs his wrist and does a cartwheel flip to sprain it.

"AAAARGH!" Copycat screamed in pain.

Cat Noir kicked him in the gut three times before kicking his head to knock him out.

"And for that, she messed with the wrong cat again," Cat Noir said before getting what he needed.

"Goddamn you Cat Noir!" Copycat cursed but got knocked out unconscious.

"Too late. Already damned" Cat Noir chuckled and sensed special jewelry behind the old black and white photo of the day the store was made and founded.

"Come to kitty" He snatched it.

"Giving the cops a dirt nap really was rude of you" Ladybug came inside the store.

"I can't help it, Bugaboo, but I fought a copycat me," He said.

Ladybug saw the unconscious copy of the man but she needed to be cautious, "And how do I know you're the real one? I'm not that dumb if the real Cat Noir is a killer or not" She tested him.

"Well I call you Bugaboo, he does not," Cat Noir said.

"Too easy. Give me a hard example of what the real Cat Noir does in criminal life" Ladybug still doesn't trust him.

"He wouldn't do this" Cat Noir purred like a cat.

"Hmmm," Ladybug checks if Copycat purrs by scratching but hears nothing, "Heh, totally unconscious but okay, you're the real one. What is your other nickname for me?" Ladybug tested him again.

"Milady. And I always remind you a lot to be very ladylike with lady manners" Cat Noir proved to her he's the real one.

"Okay, you're the real deal," Ladybug said.

"Do I look real to you?" Cat Noir pulled her close.

"Of course, Kitty" Ladybug said.

"Do I sound real to you?" Cat Noir smirked at wanting his lady to know he's everything as a real thing.

"Yeah, only a feline man like you" Ladybug played with his bell.

"Meow, do I feel real to you?" Cat Noir slowly licked her cheek before nibbling her suited neck.

"Yeaaaaah you do.....Wait, are you seducing me?" Ladybug snaps out of it.

"Maybe, maybe not. But I did convince you I'm the real one. Now if you don't mind, I'm busy with my job" Cat Nour grinned before going back to stealing.

"Kitty, I let you steal long enough but you said you would be ready to talk," Ladybug said before going up to him to move his hand away from the jewelry, "As in now"

"I'm listening," Cat Noir said.

"Not in here. On the roof. In private conversation" Ladybug said.

"You do know it will be very ugly if I told you the truth. Especially my story origin" Cat Noir warned.

"I'm ready but not for your identity. A secret identity is meant to be secret" Ladybug said.

"Indeed," Cat Noir said before punching the vending machine glass to grab a snack.

After getting out of the store, they got to the rooftop while the police arrived to get the impostor.

"At least they got the faker" Ladybug looked down.

"Except they'll think it's me. That man went through plastic surgery to look like me. I turned him down for being a psycho criminal fan a year ago" Cat Noir said.

"And apparently he has no powers," Ladybug said.

Cat Noir sighs at how she wants the truth out of him, "Over 2 years ago, I was simply a nobody. I came across an alley to get away from a lot of shit my father makes me do for his job. I met Plagg and I thought he was friendly until he bit me so hard that I thought he had rabies but no foam in the mouth or anything aggressive like an animal on me. The bite had radioactive in it which explains why my senses are so sharp" Cat Nour explained how it happened by showing the bite scar on his naked wrist.

"Incredible" Ladybug looks at his scars.

"I thought I was gonna die by radiation poisoning but I didn't" Cat Noir covered his sleeve.

"So what happened?" Ladybug asked.

"It gets worse," Cat Noir said, knowing how he first mutated that night.

(Flashback)

When he was bitten that night, he couldn't seem to control his instincts at night since his behavior became a little primitive. His sharp hearing alerted him that the thugs had vicious dogs to hunt weak victims.

He was cornered in the alley but his instincts told him to not let fear get the better of him.

"Get him, boys!" The thugs released the vicious dogs at him, Adrien looked up and side to side to see if he could escape somehow.

The dogs were too fast and in instinct, he jumped over at the dumpster at incredible agility without stiffing. This surprised him that he was much more agile and swifter.

"How did I? Whoa!" Adrien moved aside and ran on the walls, kicking the dog aside.

He briefly looks at his hand seeing claws. He didn't have time until he saw more dogs chasing him and he had to run. So he rushed the other way. The dogs were catching up but he was much faster than an average person that can't outrun other four-legged fast animals. He jumped over the dumpster but it didn't stop the dogs that are agile too like sports dogs. He came to a fence and he jumped up without slowing down from climbing. The dogs however didn't make it over. Barking and snarling they missed their chance to kill him.

Adrien felt something in him trigger his anger to turn into a vicious partial werecat form, nearly his shirt and jacket torn off due to the fever in his body burning him up. He turned around and yowled loudly at them. The dogs whimpered and barked in fear of running off due to messing with a non-person they chased after. He had his conscience state before knowing what he was feeling and doing. It made him panic so much that it felt like he was not himself. So he had to calm down to try to detransform. Slowly he did before noticing his fur-clawed hands returning to normal.

When he looked into a puddle, his face also became human.

"Shit," Adrien said, realizing that the bite from a cat did something to him.

(Flashback)

"I realized by now that it's triggered by anger, rage, too much stress, even getting pissed off with something that annoys me a lot. So, I became a thief to deal with this condition so I don't get discovered. I do take yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises to control it, hoping I don't go savage to kill" Cat Noir explained why he steals like a thief, not wanting to trust anyone like he did with Volpina until she betrayed him, and not wanting to make the same mistake again with Ladybug.

"I understand, but I wouldn't betray anyone for selfish goals," Ladybug said.

"You know I said I'm dangerous. It's hard to trust anyone without violating my trust for their benefit. Like Volpina for example can't do anything without me but when she got something she wanted, I was no use to her. That's called betrayal and being used as a pawn" Cat Noir said, explaining why he has trust issues.

"I could say the same being a superhero because there's so many responsibilities," Ladybug said.

"Being a loner like us, we both have problems with lots of bullshit happening all the time. Do you know how hard it is to keep my cool and not trigger my inner demons?" Cat Noir paced around her.

"Really hard I guess," Ladybug said.

"Extremely hard that I simply joke around and flirt a lot to deal with my stress kicking my ass" Cat Noir said before pulling her close to him, "And you do like to piss me off whenever I steal"

"Easy Kitty, no sneaky moves" Ladybug blushed.

"And no feminine moves on me, milady. If you want to be a lady, you can't fight or kick my ass" Cat Noir purred seductively, "I admit you are strong but I am still the badass cat"

"This lady has rights you know, not for her title rank" Ladybug corrected him.

"Oh yes, gender equality," Cat Noir said.

"And you need to be more like a gentleman. If you're gonna talk to a lady, be more gentle next time. Hand over the jewelry you stole" Ladybug said.

"Nuh-uh. You know I can't do that. I already told you my story, you should know how I feel as a thief. Be a good girl for this charming kitty cat, milady" Cat Noir smirked.

"You're still a fugitive, kitty. Protecting you from jail is not gonna last unless you can show Paris you're not a villain" Ladybug said.

"And I'm no hero to them because in their eyes they don't think I'm capable as a superhero. It's like Volpina once said people can't resist what they like or wanna hear. It's the same thing with her lies people fall for" Cat Noir said.

"As if lying is a powerful superpower," Ladybug said.

"Everyone lies, milady. So do you" Cat Noir said.

"I lie to protect, not for fame or anything like envy," Ladybug said.

"Right," Cat Noir said.

"But you lie to everyone to hide from the world," Ladybug said.

"I have my reasons" Cat Noir replied.

"That's just your fear, kitty. Fear divides everything when you don't try" Ladybug said.

"And so does everyone. They fear criminals too, especially me. You can't right the wrongs, milady. You can't change what they can't see. I tried that before, but I cannot change what I am. Plagg gave me this bite for a reason, which I haven't figured out yet. All I can do is just run around at night to steal like a thief" Cat Noir said, before making his leave.

Cat Noir arrived at his bedroom, removing his mask and cat ears, hoping Ladybug could process the truth of what he was and what he was going through. Even Plagg was on his bed, meowing for attention and to be petted.

"Come here, buddy" Adrien calls him over. He purred by jumping up on his shoulders.

"Good boy, Plagg" Adrien pets him.

"Meow" He meowed.

"Yes, I know. Too much stress can be dangerous for me. Almost as equally dangerous for pregnant women to get too stressed to endanger their unborn child" Adrien said before lighting the candles for mediation and in hoping to reduce his inner rage.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Breathing in and out to control his inner self from taking over his humanity. He can't let anyone know what he has, not even his father or he would think he has no son anymore. To Adrien, he already lost his father's love for too long from neglect.

His father misses out on him growing into a man. His mother in the afterlife would probably be more proud to see her son growing up but it's unknown if she's proud of what he's becoming than just a man. Both as a mutated boy and a thief.

With Marinette, she was still shocked by the reveal that Cat Noir is a mutated human. Like a werecat to be precise than any other popular werewolf movies.

"A real werecat, that's new," Marinette thought.
