A Black Fox A Black Cat (Cat Noir/Adrien X Aretusa Argent story)

[5] Flashbacks

Aretusas POV:

It was just your typical normal night. I managed to let Cat Noir in through my bedroom window just so we can I don't know just chat maybe? I looked over onto my right side of my bed and saw Zorro sleeping peacefully on a pillow, all snuggled and wrapped up in her cute little tail. I don't know what to do without her in all honesty. I actually remember when I first got her, man I was so scared because she's so dark that it's hard to see her at night.

~Flashback~

After my parents died in a terrible accident, I didn't know what to do after they were gone. I was so alone so I decided 'fuck it' let's go to Paris and start anew. To which I did but had no agenda on how to get my life started and better yet, I don't have a job to have a stable enough income to get back up on my feet again. 

I was walking the streets of Paris trying to find anything that I can use for shelter and warmth when I accidentally bumped into a man. I was about to say something very rude to this man because he was just in my way but then I looked up to see that he was wearing this long purple jacket that looks like butterfly wings with long dark purple pants, he had a butterfly brooch pinned in the middle of his chest and a face covering which was silver and had a purple covering with a pink lens on his right eye. 

"Well pardon me young Lady. I have business to attend to and you're in my way" He gruffed angrily. This pissed me right off.

"Well, sor-ry Mr. big bad butterfly man, I can't believe I was in your way when clearly you were in mine" I growled lowly. Which seemed to make him smirk more at my attempt.

"I am Hawkmoth. The all great and powerful man that will get Ladybugs and Cat Noir's miraculous to grant me my wish to bring my long-lost dead wife back to me" Hawkmoth introduced himself yet with long lengthy details about his goal in life but I didn't give a flying fuuuuck about it.

"Well, I'm Aretusa or Ari as people like to call me but tell me again who Ladybug and Cat Noir is and what's a miraculous?" I questioned to which he seemed taken back by what I just said.

"How do you not know about me, Cat Noir, Ladybug or even miraculous' yet?" Hawkmoth said in a questioningly tone.

"Uhhh because I'm new to Paris and I have no fucking idea what's going on these days that's why?" I said in a matter of factly tone. 

Man, this guy is pissing me off with all these questions about Miraculous and people who are named Cat Noir and Ladybug. Like whom calls their child Cat Noir mind you? You must be mental. I put on one of my fake smiles at him. 

"Welp, nice seeing you Hawky. I got shit to do. Gotta go" I said kindly. I was going to walk away when he grabbed my wrist. I looked down at his hand around my wrist and looked at him questioningly. He just smirked.

"You can let go of my arm Hawky man" I said angrily as I was trying to pull my arm away.

"You know I can take you in and you can officially be my god daughter if that's what you want and then you're free to do whatever you want once you have taken Cat Noir's and Ladybugs miraculous'" he said politely. I actually liked the sound of it and wouldn't mind that one bit because then I can stop living off the streets and act like a normal 16-year-old teenager for once, so I nodded in agreement to him which makes him pleased with my agreement.

He pulled me into a car which was a fancy limo which would take me to his mansion and by mansion, I mean MANSION. It was huge, it's like a maze you could get lost in and never find your way out which was amazing. He guided me into what looks to be an office area which has a portrait of a blonde hair woman behind a desk with a double screen computer. He threw me a set of keys.
