School Reunion

(Adrien's POV)

The next morning I've been thinking if I should visit Luka to know I'm alive. But on one condition, he and his sister can't reveal it to my friends yet or their parents. I have a feeling that Luka probably knows I'm Cat Noir during the Wishmaker incident since he's Viperion with the power of second chance to go back in time to redeem a mistake. Just as I remember having to do second chances each time Ladybug died while I tried to impress her as Aspik. I have to be sure to earn his trust to not reveal that either.

"Agh! This is too much. He probably knows I'm Cat Noir but I hope he understands that I ran away from my father to live a new life as a criminal" I paced back and forth in my warehouse.

"So why not try to explain to him without him calling the cops on you since you're the most wanted criminal?" Plagg asked.

"I gotta try but I hope he trusts me entirely as well as with his sister too. Juleka doesn't know I'm Cat Noir" I said.

"And she despises cats," Plagg said.

"Yeah, I know. But she won't hate cats forever in her life" I chuckled.

From what I've learned she used to be Purple Tigress. How did I figure it out? Because I saw Ladybug taking Juleka to a safe place before and I figured she gave her the tiger miraculous in a private place. It's kind of ironic since tigers are big cats. But still, this is my only chance. I may look like a minor goth punk kid but I gotta see my old friends again with my new identity. I gotta be a fake cousin to Luka and Juleka.

"I gotta try, Plagg. I'm forgetting what school is like. The staff has gotta believe I'm an orphan. I don't have parents anymore" I said, school requires parent's signature for kids.

"Let's do it," Plagg said, I fist-bumped him while he just poked with his tiny hands.

I went looking for Luka anywhere in the city. He's a delivery guy riding his bike and it's not hard to recognize him with black hair with teal-blue highlights. I kept looking at every street after him both as Cat Noir and as Aiden.

"Okay, this is not easy." I kept looking as Aiden this time. Even as a civilian I have a little bit of feline instincts and I remember what cologne he puts on. I can tell he's near. Time to put on the Aiden act. I saw him come out after delivery.

"Hello there," I called to him.

"Do I know you?" He saw me.

"Yes, you do. Can we talk in private?" I said with a little less emotion.

"Okay. Just don't rob me." Luka comes with me to an alley.

I looked around to make sure we are alone and so far, it's just us two, "How long have you remember Adrien before he disappeared?" I asked him.

"For just a few months and well after I briefly dated Marinette," Luka said.

That I remember but they broke up for whatever reason. The same exact moment when Kagami broke up with me.

"What if.....What if I told you I'm him?" I removed my black beanie hat and waved my head to get my blond hair messy to look like the old me.

Luka gasped at my old identity and just as he was about to scream, I put my hand on his mouth shut him up, "Shh....I know it's a shock but it's true. It's really me and I know that you know I'm Cat Noir. Remember the Wishmaker incident?" I asked him and he nodded, "You probably saw my true identity. I know you're Viperion the whole time." I removed my hand from his mouth.
