Chat Noir Fan Club

Chat Noir sighed happily as he basked in the warm Saturday afternoon sun. Chat silently watched as numerous civilians passed by his perch, completely unaware that they were currently being watched by one half of their beloved superhero duo. Chat smiled as he relaxed against the back of the roof, allowing the sun to nearly lull him to sleep. The clouds floated playfully around the sun, but seemed to refuse to cover the source of a good cat nap. 'A few minutes of shut eye will not hurt' Chat thought as he let his eye lids slip shut while the sounds of the city seemed to slowly start to fade away.

Chat was just starting to feel himself slip away to purrfect dreams of Ladybug when his ears perked up at the unmistakable chorus of loud meowing coming from across the street. Chat lazily opened one eye to investigate the sudden disturbance and to his amazement the meowing was not coming from an actual cat, but five little kids from across the street. Chat could not keep the laughter from bubbling up from his chest as he watched a very confused mother trying to figure out what the kids were doing as each one jumped up and down repeatedly while pointing and meowing excessively. The mother finally looked up and spotted the feline hero to whom she waved at sheepishly as she crossed the street towards Chat once the sidewalk signal gave the right of way to the pedestrians.

Chat stretched before hopping down from his sunny perch, promising to visit that spot some other peaceful day for a quality catnap. "Well, if it isn't a fine bunch of kittens we have here" Chat chuckled while trying to survive the aggressive hugs being thrown at him by the four little boys and little girl, all of whom looked to be around 6-8 years old. Chat chuckled as the meowing died down to loud purring as the children hugged him. "I'm so sorry Chat Noir, they are your biggest fans. They absolutely love you and everything you do for us. You truly are their hero" Chat Noir smiled and waved off her apology, "There's nothing to be sorry for! A cat could get used to this kind of attention" Chat chuckled while trying his best to return the hugs.

Chat looked up to the lady with a grin "Are all of these bundles of joy part of your litter ma'am" Chat asked as he ruffled the hair of the blonde headed boy that had a near death grip on his right leg. The women blushed and giggled "oh, no. Not all of them. Only two in this bunch are mine; my son Garret, who is the tallest one, and his younger sister Anna. The other three are Garret and Anna's friends Jean, Philip, and Cason. Oh, and my name is Sarah Benoit" Mrs. Benoit finished. Chat looked back down and smiled at the assembled kids "It's nice to meet my biggest fans! I didn't even know I had fans! This is pretty exciting" Chat chirped which cause Anna to giggle and bury her face into Chats leg.

Mrs. Benoit smiled as she pulled out her phone "Chat Noir, sir, do you think it would be ok if the kids got their picture taken with you? It would mean so much to them and I know the other moms will be thrilled to see that they finally got to meet you in person" Mrs. Benoit asked. Chat rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Sure, that would not be a problem at all. You don't have to call me sir though ma'am. I'm younger than you. I don't know if I've earned that much respect yet…" Chat said weakly as the mom simply smiled and readied the camera while the kids situated themselves around Chat Noir excitedly.

Mrs. Benoit sighed as she looked around the phone "kids, I need you to be still or the picture will not come out right" she said even though her words fell on deaf ears as the kids continued to squirm and change positions excitedly. "Hey now, you all need to listen to Mrs. Benoit. She is in charge. Good kittens mind when an adult asks them to do something. Especially when that something is for you" Chat said with authority, yet without a hint of anger or malice. The kids instantly stood still and smiled at the camera while Garret gave the camera a very Chat like two fingered salute while saying "Yes sir" and then holding that smile for the camera. 'Well, he might just be a better Chat Noir than I am' Chat laughed to himself as he turned his eyes to the camera and gave it one of his best shining smiles. A girl across the street ran into a tree and quickly walked away, hoping no one saw that.

Mrs. Benoit took several pictures before putting the phone away. "Wow, Chat Noir. You are really good with the kids. They never listen to me that well when they are all together. They can get a little rowdy when they get together". Chat smiled sympathetically at the obviously weary mom "Now kittens, you can't go giving the adult in charge such a hard time. It makes it hard for them to do fun things for you if you won't listen to what you are being told" Chat said sagely as the eyes of the kids focused on him intently. A moment of silence followed that would only be broken by the kids breaking away from Chat and running to Mrs. Benoit, each saying sorry. Mrs. Benoit gazed at Chat in silent wonder as she was showered with apologies and hugs. Chat smiled; happy he had hopefully turned this ladies day back in the right direction when he caught a mischievous glint in her eyes. Chat subconsciously gulped as he knew she had an idea.

Chat smiled even as the uneasy feeling became stronger as he watched the wheels in the women's head turn swiftly and efficiently. "Chat Noir, you are so wonderful with the kids. I was wondering if you would be willing to come to the next meeting of the Chat Noir fan Club? I know the kids would love to see you again" Mrs. Benoit asked sweetly as the hopeful eyes of five kittens turned to Chat. Chat mentally sighed even as he outwardly laughed 'That's all? I thought it would be something worse' Chat thought. "I would be honored to come to the next meeting! When and where will it be held" Chat asked as he was swamped by the kids yet again.

"Our next meeting will start at the Dupain-Chang bakery at three o'clock next Saturday. We will be starting at the bakery for snacks and then we will be doing a history tour of the land marks of Paris where some of you and Ladybugs most iconic battles took place. I'm sure the kids would love to ask you questions all about it" Mrs. Benoit replied happily seeing that Chat was not opposed to the idea. "Well, I guess I'll see you kittens then! Remember to be good this week. Good kittens do the right thing, even when no one else is watching" Chat said with a grin. "Now if you excuse me, I do believe I have a patrol to finish. I'll PAWsativly catch you later" Chat called as he leapt away to finish his patrol.

Chat grinned happily as he raced across the rooftops of Paris knowing he had made a big enough difference in the lives of others for them to view him as highly as many others viewed his lady. 'I don't know what I did to deserve fans, but I'll take it' Chat thought ecstatically.
