Adrien was in a trance sleep since Plagg brought his cat friends to help heal him with bites and licks on his wounded leg since he can't put too much stress on it by being Cat Noir. Plagg was no healer since he's bad luck and his bite is radioactive to humans.

The cats made sure to remain quiet so as to not alarm Nathalie or Gabriel. They sure know that the cold-hearted man never likes animals in the mansion. Especially no pets allowed either since he forbids Adrien to have a pet.

Adrien woke up with his eyes into slits, feeling refreshed but sluggish since he was put into a sleep trance earlier like sedation to not feel the bites.

"I feel.....like......purring..." He purred out loud due to relaxation like a cat, "Thanks, guys. But you need to leave before my father sees you" He moaned a lot.

Plagg and his fellow cats nod in command. The rest of the cats jumped out the window but Plagg remained there since he knew that Adrien needed a friend.

"Meow" He snuggled near him with a purr.

"I don't know why cheese didn't kill your stomach, Plagg. You're really a gluten, you know that?" Adrien chuckled at how amazed his cat can be with Camembert which is highly unsafe for cats to eat.

"Meow" Plagg nuzzled him.

"Volpina is out there again. I don't know how she escaped. But I'm gonna find out. Which is why I'm gonna need your help. If tonight, I don't find her" Adrien gets up and shows him the microscopic cameras placed on cat collar cat bells, "I need you to convince your friends to wear these. I stole this tech from the criminals and redesigned it for microscopic cameras hidden in plain sight"

Plagg understood him and got his collar on.

"I know you hate wearing it for a street cat but it's not forever. You and your friends act naturally all the time. Criminals are very dumb to worry about that" Adrien said, scratching his chin.

"Meow" Plagg meowed.

"Let's say you and your friends are eyes on the walls," Adrien said before going to his closet to suit up, "Streets cats are streets cats on the streets. People don't bother them that much which is why you will all be like spy cats" Adrien puts on his catsuit.

He lastly puts on his mask and cat ears headband before heading out. He nearly flinched from his leg but he was not limping too much by jumping from roof to roof. If he wants information, he will go to the nightclub filled with crime lords and other criminal organizations. He soon finds the Moth club and goes up to the guard.

"You know who I am. Only this time, without the hoodie. Meow" Cat Noir made his menacing tone evil to blend in.

"Go in" The guard let him in.

Once inside, he saw several teens dancing or drinking. Some were outcasts, orphans, or raised by criminal organizations.

"Now for any clues of how Volpina escaped," Cat Noir said.

"Well, well, well. The cat nearly out of the bag without being a scaredy cat in his litter box" They all laughed at their cat metaphors.

Cat Noir just ignores them, not caring if they can't respect those who are mediocre the same way Chloe thinks of everyone as losers to her when they don't have power or wealth in families.

"Pity Ladybug isn't a crook like me," He thought.

There stood a covered face but the eyes, dressed like a ninja with her samurai sword, startling the bar guy to give her a drink or get sliced to pieces.

"Make it strong like a dragon's fire," She said in Japanese that Cat Noir can understand.

"Yes, ma'am!" The bar guy said in fear.

"Ah, new thief or an assassin? Like the fire in the sword like a dragon, ninja" Cat Noir spoke in Japanese and took a seat.

"Don't get obsessed with my fiery, kitty. I never let one live to tell the tale. My sword can do much killing than just slicing" The ninja spoke in English this time.

"Ah, you speak my town's language. Japanese has many martial arts that I know about. I'm Cat Noir, the master thief and the best. If you're gonna be around here, you should know this is not Tokyo" Cat Noir chuckled.

"My culture has more perfection than the city of thieves, Mr. Noir. I go where I kill than sneak around in the dark" The ninja stabs her sword on the floor with rage to show how dangerous she can be without hesitation.

"My, You're feisty Miss..." He didn't get her name.

"Call me Ryuko," Ryuko said.

"Nice to meet you Ryuko. So what do you do? Besides the ninja technique?" He asked but did not flinch when a sword was near his neck, "Besides the element of surprise, it gets old" He moved it away.

"I'm a mercenary," Ryuko said.

"Ooh, worse to bring disasters in life by trade," Cat Noir said, he's known mercenaries to trade for money exchange.

"Hai" Ryuko nodded.

"Anyways, welcome to my city. I'm the top predator of the food chain" Cat Noir said before going to a criminal group that spreads gossip and news. They turned to see the feline approach them.

"I want real honest answers. Lila Rossi, aka, Volpina, mysteriously escaped from jail. Who has connections with her?" Cat Noir asked before pulling his zipper down to manipulate the female thieves.

"Whoa, he's hot," One of them said, seeing his abs.

"Now start telling me what you know about my charming side" Cat Noir seduced.

"Okay, handsome. I'll tell you how it happened" The lead girl said.

"Good" Cat Noir smirked.

"It all started during a prison riot and Lila took her chance by blending into the fight and took the disguise of a guard to escape," The lead girl said.

"And no one witnessed it? You just assumed?" Cat Noir bares his claws if they are lying.

"Okay! Okay! No one witnessed it! We just think she escaped by herself to blend in disguise or someone broke in to free her without getting caught. We assumed it was you since you're so good at not getting caught" They explained.

"Well here's a newsflash for you all, I was never at the prison when she escaped," Cat Noir said.

"Really? Some said the other night there was a blackout at the police station. It was as if it was stage one of escape. Definitely you" They scoffed in disbelief.

"Unlikely, her cell was locked," Cat Noir said.

He was getting impatient if they didn't tell him full details or get emotionally tortured enough by his nearly revealed abs when he slowly pulled his zipper down to cause more torment if it got too much to bear.

"Okay! Okay! Please stop! Stop!" They couldn't handle the pressure of being swooned.

"Tell me," Cat Noir said.

"One of our best criminals was baled for good behavior. During the prison cafeteria, he believed he saw Volpina pickpocket the guard's passkey. No one but him saw it. He wanted to say something but knowing the police station, no cop would believe a word. Overreacting wouldn't allow him to get out free without good behavior" They explained the real details.

"Thanks for the info," Cat Noir said.

"Quit it! Please! The abs are like wanting me to touch it which I don't!" The female thug begged him to stop revealing so much skin.

"Okay," Cat Noir pulls the zipper up.

"Hmph, I never fall for it. I'm dead on the inside" Ryuko said with a monotone.

"So am I but I still got my charming side, ninja. I'm very dangerous with nine lives. I always come back from the dead" Cat Noir chuckled and snapped his fingers repeatedly for a glass of milk, "Cat got your tongue?"

"No, but I hope one day I cut off your tongue" Ryuko threatened.

"Ooh, feisty. Meow. I thought dragons are supposed to be peaceful creatures in stories" Cat Noir flirted.

"Not this dragon. And I'm a samurai, not a ninja" Ryuko corrected him.

"Same difference" Cat Noir shrugged that he didn't care and sipped his glass of milk once he got it, "Just don't do something you'll regret. Trust me, I know my moral codes" He said before belching and taking his leave.

Once outside, he can sense Ladybug's scent nearby like she was waiting for him to finish his interrogation, "I know you're here, milady. You can come out now. I know my puuuurrrrrfect body shape is mighty dangerous for you" He teased.

"Hey there Kitty cat" She appeared in front of him.

"Stalking me much? How rude" Cat Noir flirted.

"Not as much as I like to hear what you have to say for yourself. And don't lie to me if you did free that Fox out of her cage" Ladybug tested his intentions whether or not he did free Lila or did not.

"I didn't. Lila stole a security guard's key to escape" Cat Noir said.

"And how do you know that if you watched her escape?" Ladybug glared at him.

"I got some info from the nightclub" Cat Noir explained.

"And you believe them?" Ladybug scoffed.

"No, but they did put a lot of details if they didn't answer to my....claws in time" Cat Noir half lied.

"Okay then, Kitty" Ladybug approached him.

"I don't free my enemies from prison, milady. I'm not that foolish to do that. I have morals you know. I'm not stupid" Cat Noir said, knowing how well it is to foolishly free someone who is dangerous.

"Really. Except you don't feel bad for yourself to steal like a thief. Deep down you're still a bad kitty" Ladybug said.

"I don't define in all of those when it comes to being a bad boy" Cat Noir corrected her, "However, I never lied when I said I am dangerous and a badass but I don't kill innocents" He pulled her close, "You know a hero can't reprogram themselves into a thief. You're no thief but you do steal the glory for Justice"

"Then Lila steals the glory for Injustice" Ladybug blushed.

"And I steal just to be on top of those dumbass criminals. My glory is freedom" Cat Noir stroked her leg wrapped around his waist.

"Hmmm, being a free spirit," Ladybug said.

"Until you had to get in my way of everything I do. Like I said, you have a thing for sexy thieves" Cat Noir slowly licked her cheek seductively.

"Will you stop that? It's like you don't know a thing about a real true kiss" Ladybug growled.

"I know what a kiss feels like," Cat Noir said.

"Really? But I'm not your true love" Ladybug said.

"Wild cats are always very emotionally needy, milady. I love trouble but I do enjoy your affection" Cat Noir purred happily.

"What the bloody damn hell are you doing?!" Ladybug felt trapped in his grasp when her thigh was stroked.

"I can tell you can't resist me," Cat Noir said.

"The hell with that!" Ladybug lied.

"Too bad" Cat Noir nibbles her neck.

"No don....Ohhhhh" Ladybug moaned.

She felt a smirk on her neck and he continued more until he could see if she did like his seduction.

"This is getting too much" Ladybug moaned and felt his hand grip her thigh.

"Meow, you're in heat" Cat Noir smirked.

"No! Of course not!" Ladybug pushed him off.

"You can lie all you want but your body cannot. You can't resist me, milady" Cat Noir purred.

"You dirty boy," Ladybug said.

"Am I?" Cat Noir smirked and slowly pulls his zipper down to reveal his pecs and abs, "I work out so much when I kick ass"

Ladybug shuddered at his perfect 6-pack abs. So much skin he was showing which made her want to touch them now but she fought off the lust since she knew he was trying to make her feel weak and vulnerable emotionally.

"Damn it" Ladybug's face was all red from blushing.

"You like what you see?" Cat Noir puts her hand on his abs, "Meow"

"You got quite the built like a demigod," Ladybug said.

"I told you I'm dangerously sexy. Now then, while I had my seductive charm, be on the lookout for that Fox. I have a feeling she might change her identity since she's not that dumb to be out in the open. Her face is all over" Cat Noir puts his zipper up and kisses her on the lips since he knows how much she wants it.

"And how would you know if she planned to do that?" Ladybug asked.

"I don't. When you're a fugitive, they would always come up with a fake identity to hide from the world. Unless you can remove your mask and tell me who you are, milady" Cat Noir making his point clear.

"Nuh-uh! A hero's identity is supposed to be secret!" Ladybug refused.

"Meow, you're one to talk for luring me into the light" Cat Noir glared at her.

"Because if anyone found out, those I know would be in danger" Ladybug explained.

"And of course, you were so greedy to see my face in the light," Cat Noir said.

"Yes, but not your mask" Ladybug replied.

"Next time I rob a jewelry store, don't kick my ass" Cat Noir slowly kissed her lips lightly, "What would you be without a bad guy to fight with?"

"No one," Ladybug said, stunned.

"So make sure I don't get caught or arrested. You love adorable cats and kittens" Cat Noir smirked seductively.

"Please, I already caught your ass when I saw your real annoying masked face. This time, Lila is on my animal list to hunt" Ladybug scoffed.

"Ooh, a liar season. No cat season?" Cat Noir snickered.

"Not yet. But I gotta go patrol after her" Ladybug brought her yoyo out.

"Good luck hunting at night. Now if you excuse me, I got jewelry to steal. Who knows, she might chase my ass since she also betrayed me before. Bye," Cat Noir swung out of here.

"See ya" Ladybug swung the other way.
