Wanted Thief

Lila Escaped

Cat Noir was in a lot of agony to get his stabbed leg healed and patched up, despite wearing his catsuit. He never trusted anyone to help him as a teen. Only his mother was more kind and affectionate to him his whole life until she died. It made him no longer trust anyone because none were like his mother.

"Hold still, kitty! Jeez, when was the last time someone aided you?" Ladybug held his leg still.

"No one! Ow! Are you done yet?" He asked.

"Barely. Hold still!" Ladybug said before putting the cloth around his leg.

Cat Noir panted after she finished bandaging, "I told you that Mime was dangerous. His gesture mimicking is for real"

"Yeah, especially the ropes," Ladybug said.

"Seeing is not believing" Cat Noir carefully stands up.

"No kidding. And aren't you gonna say thank you for patching your wound?" Ladybug asked.

Cat Noir sighs in defeat that she did save him, "Thanks"

"You're welcome, Kitty," Ladybug said.

"Nine lives again," Cat Noir said, a little shaken but trying to remain strong.

"At least I stopped the bleeding," Ladybug said.

"Saving my ass is a lot to process," Cat Noir said, trying to walk a bit so that he can try to get back home soon, "But at least I got my job done" He held out stolen money.

"Sneaky thief" Ladybug replied.

"Like I said, I'm very dangerous to steal anything out of nowhere" Cat Noir chuckled before putting it away.

"Why can't you be like a normal teenager?" Ladybug rolled her eyes.

"There's no fun in being normal or puuuuurrrrrrrfect, bugaboo. Why can't you be more like a lady without fighting? Very unladylike of you" Cat Noir teased.

"If I don't fight, Paris has no hero," Ladybug said.

"Then you'll lose your lady rank, milady" Cat Noir said, feeling himself purr to heal.

Everyone always thinks that cats purr when they feel happy but they don't know that they can purr when they feel hurt or in pain which is a healing factor for cats.

"How are you doing that? You're a man, not an actual cat" Ladybug asked.

"My origin remains top secret, milady," Cat Noir said.

"Right of course" Ladybug replied.

"If it's not too much for you, can you bring me to the nightclub?" He asked, not in the mood to be on the roof.

"Maybe one day but your leg needs to heal," Ladybug said.

"Right," Cat Noir then used his whip to swing.

Still numb in his leg but he remained strong to fight the swelling. He just hoped no one would notice him limp the next day as Adrien. He came through the window of his bedroom and headed to the bathroom, removing his mask and catsuit to take a look at the wound.

"That's gonna leave one ugly scar" He quickly gets changed in sleepwear and heads to turn on the TV if the crooks are arrested for bank robbery. And sure enough, it's been revealed they have been arrested.

"Foolish criminals" Adrien chuckled.

The headline read Magician and The Mime finally behind bars. Reporters believed that Ladybug stopped them but what they didn't know is that Cat Noir helped her stop those crooks.

"Pity, she took the glory to let me go," Adrien said.

The next morning at school, Nino noticed that Adrien looked like he was in pain but didn't know it was Adrien's stabbed leg.
