(Feline Nuit's POV)

Whoever she is, she gets on my nerves for some reason.

"My name is Volpina, What's yours?" She extended her hand out to the both of us. "I'm Raccoon Gris and this is Feline Nuit." She shakes Volpina's black gloved hand. I hesitantly shook her hand. "Very nice to meet you Raccoon Gris and Feline Nuit. I just noticed that we all have black gloves." Raccoon Gris and Volpina chuckled a little. I don't think it's very funny.

Raccoon Gris then turned her head towards my direction and stopped chuckling. She slowly, almost hesitantly, approached me. "What's wrong Kitty, you're usually always making puns, jokes and cheerful remarks. Is something the matter? You can tell me, I'm your partner, we have a close bond that will never break." I inhale sharply before beginning to speak.

"There's nothing wrong with you, it's her. Something's not right about her but I don't know what it is. As soon as I saw her I realized that something's not right, something oddly familiar, but I can't put my finger on it." Raccoon Gris nodded, she probably understands what I feel.

"I understand, but please try to be nice." I glance over to Volpina, who is now smiling at me. If I want to know more about her, I have to gain her trust, if I gain her trust I have to present myself as more approachable, which means I have to be nice to her.

"Welcome to the team, Volpina!" I say, faking being happy, plastering a fake smile on my face. "Good, I know you faked it, but it's a start." Raccoon Gris pats me lightly on the shoulder. I swiftly move towards Volpina. "Say, Volpina, What's your miraculous?" "My necklace." She remarks. "What power does it give you?" I smirk, she won't be able to answer this.

"The power of flight and super strength, why do you ask?" Volpina's answer slightly surprised me, not much, but slightly. "No reason." I coldly replied. This shocked both Volpina and Raccoon Gris.

"Sorry about Feline Nuit, she's just not herself right now. Usually she's funny, charming and a great listener. Why is she different when you're here Volpina?" Raccoon Gris asked Volpina. Volpina shrugged. "I don't know, maybe she's jealous that you're getting more attention." She teased. Raccoon Gris's face turned a light shade of pink.

"It's not like that Volpina!? I only care for her, I don't like her! She's my partner, not my love interest. I'm not even gay, but I do support the LGBTQIA+ community." (I was so close to say she's just a friend, but I didn't want Raccoon Gris to become suspicious)

What I just said seemed to make Raccoon Gris smile so brightly, it was like staring at the sun. Was she also tearing up slightly? No, she can't be, she probably has something in her eye.

Raccoon Gris's POV

Hearing those words made me feel so happy. My super hero partner accepting me! Well, she doesn't know that I'm homosexual. I start tearing up because she's the only person that understands the pressure I'm under for living a double life. I want to tell her that I'm gay, but I can't because it's personal information about myself.

Feline Nuit's POV

Seeing Raccoon Gris this happy makes me feel happy, but is she also sad at the same time. As if there was something she wanted to tell me, but no matter what she does she just can't. I can tell, just by the way she looks at me.

You know what they say "The eye's are a gateway to the soul. If the soul is troubled, your eyes show that. So I can fine out what Volpina is hiding." I muttered to myself.

"What was that?" Both Raccoon Gris and Volpina say in unison. They both started to chuckle, which turned into all out laughing. "Why are you guys laughed? I don't get why that was so funny." I crossed my arms, turning my head away from the two of them. Suddenly I hear something, without my cat ears I wouldn't have heard it.

"Be quiet, I heard something behind us." My ears picked up another sound, it's closer this time. Raccoon Gris regained composure and started listening attentively. "What do you think is making the sound?" Raccoon Gris's ears started to twist and turn, following the sound waves of whatever is making that subtle noise.

"Do you think we should follow it?" I ask Raccoon Gris. "We should split up, the three of us going in a different direction. Feline Nuit, you go left, Volpina, you go right, I go behind. Got it?" Volpina and I both nod and get ready to go. "Go!" We all say together.

Volpina's POV

They don't even know that they're walking right into my trap. Feline Nuit is going to pay for what she did.

We all get ready to leave, even though I know exactly what's going on. One of my clones set a distraction for the both of them, Hawk Moth. They're going to be so distracted that they won't see me getting their miraculouses. "Volpina you go right." Is all I heard, this is perfect. Time to catch both the pesky cat and raccoon off guard.

I get ready to leave towards my clone. "Go!" We all go our separate directions. Flying is easy, it's a quick and efficient way to go somewhere.

I land behind the illusion of myself and swiped it away. I make sure that they're still distracted before starting something else.

Feline Nuit's POV

Is that who I think is it? "Is that Hawk Moth? He never shows up, something big must be going on." I land on a rooftop with a quiet *thump*. Raccoon Gris landed seconds after me.

"I don't know if it is Hawk Moth, this could be a trap. Hey where's Volpina?" Raccoon Gris asked. "Why are you asking me? I have no idea, she just disappeared, a good thing to." I muttered the last part.

"You know I heard that, what's going on inside that head of yours?" She puts her hand on my head and messes up my hair. "Are you kitten me!?" I fix my hair with my claws, being careful to not cut myself. "Somebody back to herself. All it took was me to mess up your hair." I lightly punch Raccoon Gris in the stomach.

"Haha, very funny." Sarcasm laced my words. "Ouch! Your claws are very sharp, Kitty Cat." My partner in gray clenched her stomach, I guess even the miraculouses can't protect every blow to the holder's body. "Did you just call me Kitt-"

Suddenly, we both hear something moving away from us. "Hawk Moth's getting away, after him!" The raccoon miraculous holder yells. I nod and head straight towards him. "Why would Hawk Moth be out in the open? Is something big going on?" I say to myself while running and launching myself using my baton.

We both are on Hawk Moth's heels, but why does he keep moving away? Is he backing down? He's teleporting from rooftop to rooftop. "I never knew that Hawk Moth could do that." I contine running and using my staff to gain momentum. This is going to be a while...
