Chat Noir Fan Club

The sun shined brightly as Chat confidently strode the streets of Paris while being flanked by his small entourage. Chat hummed happily to himself as his "Tail Chain" idea had worked out better than he could have hoped. 'I'm just thankful Mrs. Chang had some extra rope from an old sack she didn't need' Chat thought thankfully as he glanced back at his little following. Each "kitten" had hold of the "tail" of the one in front of them thus creating a "Tail Chain" that linked each kitten to the one in front with the lead kitten, Garret, holding Chat's tail to ensure they would all stick together and no get lost. The kids loved the idea of being "His kittens" as they now proclaimed they were Chat Noir's in training.

The tail chain got several quizzical looks from passing Parisians, but most smiled happily and even took pictures of the little group because they thought this was "too precious" or "Too cute". Chat took his kittens by the Notre Dame and told them how he and Ladybug liked to use this iconic landmark as their starting point for "training", even though it was just a glorified version of the game of tag. The kittens eyed the tall cathedral walls in amazement as they imagined their hero sparing atop of the structure with the famous red clad hero. Chat smiled warmly as each kid stared up in wonder as the high rising gothic style building. "Would you kittens like to see me and Ladybugs favorite meeting spot for patrols" Chat asked knowingly. Chat laughed as he was bombarded with a chorus of "Yes Please" along with adorable meowing from little Anna.

"This is the Eiffel Tower. It was built in 1889 by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel for the Paris exposition. It was not supposed to be a permanent structure here in Paris, but they decided to keep it because it could double as a radio antenna! Another interesting side note is that Mr. Eiffel also helped design the Statue of Liberty in The United States! So you can say he gave two countries very important landmarks" Chat explained excitedly as he saw that the kids were actually paying attention to his little history "lesson". This attention inspired him to continue. "Each leg of the Eiffel tower is in line with the four directions of North, East, South, and West. The tower still serves an important role in broadcasting radio and is still the tallest structure here in Paris" Chat said happily as the kids looked at the tower in wonder. "However, the most important fact is probably that this is me and Lb's favorite spot to meet up for patrol. Would you kittens like to go up there and see the city the way me and Ladybug do" Chat asked figuring he already knew the answer to the question. He was answered with excited yes's, excessive nodding, and Anna's adorable meows of approval.

The kids loved the trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower almost as much as the tourists enjoyed seeing the famous superhero giving children of city he protected a guided tour. Needless to say the photo op was the longest part of their Eiffel Tower trip, but the kids seemed to enjoy the attention they got while with their idol. The next stop of Chat's list was the stadium he and ladybug fought their first akuma in. The kids loved getting to go out on the field as the security staff gladly let Chat and his little kittens "Patrol" the area to make sure it was "Safe". The kids loved every second of their time at the stadium as they broke into two groups to investigate and ensure the stadium was safe the game that was scheduled for later that evening.

The kids were disappointed when it was time to start heading back to the bakery, but they knew they needed to get back because it was close to dinner time and their mom's would be waiting. Chat happily guided his little troupe back towards the bakery occasionally pointing out spots where he had battled akuma or had stopped a robbery. The happy air that surrounded the group was interrupted by a man who stepped forward and pointed at Garret, "You are too old for this nonsense. You need to grow up kid. You are not gonna get anywhere actin like that" the man growled angrily.

The hair on the back of Chat's neck stood on end as he positioned himself between the man and his kittens. "Sir, you have no right to talk to him like that. He is a kid. He is doing just fine. He is going to grow up and be a fantastic leader someday, but that doesn't have to be today. Let him be a kid" Chat spat angrily while the man glared daggers at him. "Raisin a bunch of worthless weaklings. You are just enabling them. Some hero you are" the man spat back venomously. Chat eyed the man dangerously "They do not need to be filled with your hate and negativity. Never speak to me or my kittens ever again" Chat spoke with an eerie calm that dared the man to speak again. The man seemed to get the message as he turned and stomped away.

Chat turned to the kids and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry you guys had to hear that. Don't listen to him. You are wonderful kittens and one day you will do great things. Don't let him bully you or make you upset. Remember, good kittens think for themselves and are kind to others. Good kittens never start a fight, but they can finish them. You are going to do great things. I just know it" Chat said earnestly as he turned back toward the path to the bakery. "Come on, good kittens don't keep their moms waiting. We wouldn't want them to worry about us now would we" Chat asked. Chat sighed in relief as he was met with a chorus of no's and Anna's happy chirpy meows. Chat smiled as he beckoned for his entourage to follow him the rest of the way back to the bakery where the moms were sure to be waiting.

Marinette had watched the whole exchange from her position near a shop window where she had been looking at different fabrics for one of her designs. "You are a good man Chat Noir" Marinette breathed happily as she ran into the fabric shop, a completely new idea rapidly replacing the one she had originally set out to complete.

Chat Noir and his kittens made it back to the bakery just before the six o'clock deadline and were greeted happily by the three mothers of the Chat Noir Fan Club. "We hope you had a good time and that they did not give you too much trouble" Mrs. Benoit asked hopefully as she hugged Garret and Anna who rushed to her in an attempt to be the first to tell her all about their fun day with Chat Noir. "Oh it was no problem at all Mrs. Benoit. The kittens were wonderful. We had a blast. As a matter of fact, I would love to lead as many meetings as I can! Here is the number for my staff so you can message me the meeting dates and times. You all have wonderful kittens and you should be very proud" Chat proclaimed happily. The mothers were just as ecstatic about Chat's offer of assistance as the kids were as now they had another helping hand and the kids would see their beloved hero regularly. Chat waved goodbye as the mothers took their kids their separate ways.

Several weeks had passed since the first meeting Chat led and the mothers were so thankful for the extra help, but today the moms seemed far happier than normal, which was always a good thing. "Good Afternoon ladies", Chat called as he landed in front of the Dupain-Chang bakery for the latest meeting. The next thing that caught Chat's eyes was the absence of kittens. "Hey, were are the kittens today? Are they inside with snacks already? I wasn't late, was I" Chat asked worriedly. Mrs. Sinclair and Mrs. Bastille smiled happily as Mrs. Benoit explained, "Oh no sir! You are as punctual as usual. When we got here, we had a gift waiting for us! Guess who it's from" Mrs. Benoit gushed. Chat scratched his "ear" in thought, "I don't know? Mrs. Chang" Chat offered uncertainly. "Even better! Ladybug! She left a note saying she saw you and the kids and thought you were all so adorable! She said she wanted to make the club unmistakable! I think she really outdid herself! Come inside and see" Mrs. Benoit beckoned exuberantly.

Chat's face lit up as soon as he caught eye of his five playful kittens waiting at the table with their treats already served, waiting for Chat to arrive before they began. However, their patience and manners where not what truly caught Chat's attention. Instead it was how each of them where dressed. Each kitten had on a matching Chat Noir themed hoodie complete with ears and a tail. The front had a pocket to keep their hands warm and "Green Paw Patrol" Stitched into the front in a neat and legible fashion. The back of each hoodie had a green paw print in the center of the back that would let anyone know they were in league with Chat Noir and not simply wearing a black cat hoodie.

Chat gazed at kids in amazement as he examined the workmanship of each hoodie. Each was done exceptionally well as each hoodie fit the child well, yet each hoodie offered enough room for growth. The style of the work really got the gears in Chat's head spinning as he joined the kids where he had a large cinnamon roll waiting for him. "Yay, we can start now", Anna giggled as Philip, Jean, and Cason eagerly dove into their treats.

Chat watched as Garret did not touch his cinnamon roll, but eyed him instead. "Is something wrong Garret" Chat asked as he put down his own cinnamon roll to pay full attention to Garret. "Ya, actually…I was thinking. I think we should make an anti-bully group at school using our new hoodies! We will be the Green Paw Patrol! We will patrol the school and stop bullying and make your job easier because you won't have to fight as many akuma! Do you think that's a good idea" Garret asked hopefully. Chat gaped at Garret before breaking into a broad grin, "Garret, I love that idea! I told you all you would be great! It's already starting! You just have to remember to not become the bully when seeking to get rid of bullies. It's crazy how that can happen, but it does. So, just remember that good kittens are kind to everyone and stand up for what is right, even when you are the only ones standing" Chat advised. Each one nodded solomly and stacked a hand in the middle of the tabled before looking at Chat expectantly. Chat smiled and put his gloved hand in with theirs. They all smiled happily as Garret proclaimed, "Green Paw Patrol on three…one…two…three….GREEN PAW PARTOL" the little group shouted excitedly before returning to their treats while Chat grabbed a napkin and stealthily wiped a tear from his eye.

That evening's patrol with Ladybug was exceptionally joyous as Chat gushed about how proud he was of "his kittens". "They are absolutely wonderful kids' m'lady! They are going to do great things, I can just feel it! And to think you inspired them to do it" Chat gushed happily while Ladybug shook her head. "Chat, you realize I just gave them a cute outfit. YOU are the one who inspired them. I'm just glad to play a small part in your little fan club. I think those kids did right in idolizing you Chat. You are a good man. You will make a great father one day, ya know" Ladybug praised as she leaned against the railing at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Chat grinned mischievously "It sounds like you are finally succumbing to my charms, m'lady. Mr. and Mrs. Noir. It has a nice ring to it, no" Chat asked playfully as Ladybug blushed. "Oh, you keep dreaming you stupid cat! Just because I will admit you have good qualities does not mean I like you like that you big flirt" Ladybug protested. "You are right m'lady. I dare to dream. Oh, and wonderful craftswomenship on the hoodies. You made them yourself" Chat asked curiously, playfully boxing in his unwitting prey. "Well thank you Chat. Yes, I made them myself. It took longer than I would have liked, but you understand how crazy civilian life can be" Ladybug said with a smile. Chat grinned victoriously as he leaned in a little, "So, how was school today Marinette" Chat asked joyously as he watched the color drain form Ladybugs face.

Ladybug gasped and stumbled backwards before falling into one of the observation chairs. "H-how…whe-when", was all she could stammer as she blushed and looked down to avoid eye contact with Chat. "Well m'lady, you have a very unique style. It wasn't too hard for me to guess who you were. You obviously put your heart and soul into your work. So, it's no wonder I was able to figure out who you were", Chat reasoned as he sat in the seat beside her. "Before you panic to much more, I promise on my life that your secret is safe with me. I would much rather die than give you up. You are too precious to me. I want you to know I love both sides of you. I also want you to know I am willing to wait for when you are ready to move forward. We don't have to push now, if you do not want to. I love you and I do not want to make you uncomfortable. You set the pace, if there is even a pace to set" Chat offered honestly.

Ladybug's eyes watered as she looked at Chat, "Oh Chat, You are a wonderful person, but I already love someone. He goes to my school. He sits right behind me in class. He is a wonderful person, just like you. I honestly think that's why we make such good friends, because you two are a lot alike really. Minus the cat puns" Ladybug laughed gently at the last part. "I'm sorry, Chat. I really am" Ladybug offered sincerely.

Chat smiled softly as tears threatened to fall, "M'lady, I love you too" Chat breathed as he dropped his transformation to reveal Adrien Agreste where Chat Noir had previously sat. "So, m'lady. What do you say now" Adrien asked hopefully as Ladybug gawked at him while only emitting small squeaking sounds where legitimate words failed to form. Adrien laughed when Ladybug simply gave up and wrapped her arms around his and leaned into his shoulder. "So, is that a good sign for me m'lady" Chat chuckled to which his only answer was the nodding movement her head made against his arm. "I love you Marinette", Adrien breathed as he leaned his head against hers while enjoying the view of the city and sketching every second of this moment into his memory. "I-I love y-you too, Ch-Adri-Cha…" Marinette started to stammer before she huffed and muttered, "You know who you are".

Adrien laughed long and hard as he enjoyed just how flustered he could actually make her. She was perfect in every way he could imagine and he could not wait to get to know her even better as he was sure he would find even more to love about the quiet, yet brave girl who stole his heart they day she conquered her own fears and insecurities to save Paris. Adrien smiled as he could hardly believe he had five little kittens to thank for this. 'I just knew they would change the world for the better, I just didn't think they would be responsible for changing mine' Adrien thought happily as he and enjoyed the closeness he now shared with his lady, his…bugginette. 'That's a keeper', Adrien thought absently as the time slowly ticked by for the hero duo.
