If anyone asked Adrien Agreste how it felt being Chat Noir his answer would be it was a blessing in disguise

Adrien Agreste loved the freeing feeling the miraculous of destruction granted him whenever he called upon his transformation.

Unlike the picture perfect son his father showcased to the world, when he became Chat Noir he was given the freedom to be whoever he wanted, there was no longer any pressure on how to act, how to talk,no ridiculously long list of what to do and what not to do,the cons more often than not outweighing the pros.

He was granted freedom for the first time since taking the mantle of Chat Noir, but it was a saying that nothing good comes without a price, and all good things must come to an end.

For Chat Noir he learned that the hard way.

There he stood on top of an adjacent roof,rain drops cascading down his back,what first started as a drizzle slowly gave rise to a heavy downpour as water droplets falling from the heavens started to wash away any sort of impurity from the streets that were now almost all but vacant. The wind was howling as it came in contact with his skin sending a shiver down his already stiff spine,

His posture was stockstill, as his eyes gazed down the beloved city of love without any sort of joy resonating from deep within his soul.

It had been four years since he'd been given the role of Chat Noir, three years since losing master Fu, two years since that incident, a year and a half since he'd renounced his miraculous, they'd all but lost any hope of reclaiming the butterfly miraculous since Hawkmoth had all but disapeared from the face of the earth.

With him he'd taken ten miraculous from the miracle box including the ladybug miraculous the only miraculous on par with his own, but that miraculous had been damaged for over a century Master Fu had said. So many holders had gotten injured in the battle, after all that chaos and destruction all anyone could've wanted was peace and he'd dwelled in the faint hope that maybe that could've been achieved and by some miracle hawkmoth had realized the extent of his actions and surrendered.

Granted there was a probability of him returning once the affect of the battle over him had diminished over time, but he'd held on to that tiniest bit of hope that maybe just maybe that was the end of Hawkmoth.

But obviously it seemed as though that wasn't the case.

Hope like trust was a fragile thing,even a tiny inconvenience was capable of hindering it yet people desperately cling on to it as if it would become their once source of comfort.
All throughout his life Adrien had been one of those who relied on that fragile thread of hope, relying on it that maybe someday things would change for the better.

Even in his darkest days he'd relyed on that fragile hope as his source of reassurance, never allowing despondency and despair to overwhelm him, never allowing himself to think about the possibility that maybe someday that hope wouldn't be enough to get him through life.

But the thing about hope was just like trust, once it was broken you realize that not everything can be fixed there wasn't always a light to guide you out,and once that light light died than there's nothing stopping you from wandering into the depths of despair. Once tainted it was hard to reignite, once a person lost their hope they become a shadow of their former self and that was the case with this hero.

It had been two days since Hawkmoth or now Monarch delivered his decleration of war at the base of the Eiffel tower there were hundreds of akumas surrounding the image of his face, he made the bold statement directed at Chat Noir demanding the miraculous and stating to continue the akuma attacks.

And just like that two years of peace the Parisians got ended then and there. Rubbing the sleeve of his jacket to protect himself from the cold breeze that was starting to resonate within his soul, his lips forming a thin line as his eyes continued to be affixed, unmoving onto the dreary horizon of the beloved city of love.
