Nightclub

(Marinette's POV)

Night came around and I had a good shower during the battle with Stormy Weather. But then I realized that Cat Noir will be coming here from my balcony. I gotta feed him cooked food so he doesn't starve to death out there. I don't know how much weight he lost but so far he looks okay.

I brought cooked steak with mashed potatoes on a plate and a glass bottle of milk for him since he's gonna need to eat and drink something. But as I got to my room, he was already on my loft bed petting his cat.

"Good evening my princess. I bet you saw the news today" He said with a purring noise.

"Yeah, that Ladybug and you teamed up after a year apart. Heck, you were awesome on that motorbike with Ladybug." I said.

"Heh, thanks. I am not legally 16 yet but I have been stealing bikes from other criminals for a year. Motorcycles and cats have purring competitions" He teasingly said as I climbed up the ladder and handed him his dinner to eat.

"Heh, you started doing cat jokes." I chuckled.

"Yeah, well, let's say that working with Ladybug got me contagious from her, metaphorically I mean," He said and ate ravenously since he's hungry for real cooked food.

"Well, your cat is so adorable. Thanks for letting me babysit her." I said.

"No problem. Like I said, every princess has an animal sidekick" He said and continues eating.

"Yeah. They do." I nodded while Catty Noir nuzzled on me.

"Good girl Catty." I petted her.

He finished eating that quick, he really was starving. What has he been eating in the streets? I'm worried for who knows how long he'll struggle to survive.

"For a year I've never tasted anything this delicious." He said.

"My poor kitty. How do you survive on the streets?" I asked and put the plate aside.

"I have to do what a survivalist would do, find anything that's eatable and shelter." Cat Noir said.

"Where ever you're living at you may have a good place to stay," I said.

"Yeah. Sort of my secret base as well." Cat Noir said.

"No electricity bills or furnace?" I asked.

"I got a fireplace there to keep me warm, well the electricity I've stolen some car batteries to power some stuff up." He said.

"Sounds like you're living in an abandoned warehouse or a building" I guessed.

"Yep. But nobody can know where." Cat Noir said.

"Trust issues, kitty cat? You always trusted me" I stroked his messy blond hair which made him purr but he moved my hand away.

"Trust issues is one thing but I can't put you in danger, my princess. You know mice have many predators that eat them for dinner" He said seriously.

"Oh right since I was Multimouse," I said.

"Yes but I want you safe." Cat Noir said.

"Dogs chase cats, kitty. Especially street dogs that chase street cats" I said, hoping he has no trouble dealing with street dogs that are savage.

"I dealt with them before but I developed a wild feline instinct" He smirked.

"And I hope you remain human, street cat" I scratched his chin and I heard him purr happily.

"And I will. And trust me, I'm not a street gang boy that does illegal drugs. I hate drugs" He said honestly.

"Good kitty" I gave him a warm glass of milk.
