After having a date with Marinette at the park, he kissed her cheek and thanked for the Choquettes from her. As he came home while having Choquettes, he saw his father looking angry as ever but Adrien was not intimidated which he doesn't know why.
"What now, father?" Adrien asked in an irritated tone.
"I received a call from the mayor that you threatened his daughter at school! This almost destroyed our reputation!" Gabriel accused him.
"You mean your reputation that you care so much" Adrien rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Not that tone, boy!" Gabriel said.
"I had my reasons to end my friendship with Chloe. She's nothing but a spoiled brat!" Adrien interrupted, "You wanna know what I see, father? I see you as a terrible parent! Nathalie has been there for me longer than you have! All you care about is yourself!" Adrien did not know where this is coming from.
Gabriel was taken aback by the outburst. He tried rubbing the twin ring but Adrien was still not done yet.
"You were never a father to me since mom disappeared!" Adrien said before storming off.
Gabriel grabbed his son's arm but Adrien had a strong grip, "STAY BACK!" Adrien shoved him back and was shocked at how strong he was but his behavior was mixed up. He left his father there and goes up to his room.
"What the hell was that?!" Plagg asked.
"That I never stood up and told my father off?" Adrien asked.
"Yes, but you were aggressive!" Plagg said.
"I don't know what got into me. I need air. Plagg claws out!" He transformed.
He puts on the radio pretending to play the piano before going out. All that steam really burned his body from all that rage. He needed to cool off somewhere without triggering a mega Akuma. He pole-vaulted and ran on the rooftops. He came to the bakery place and asked the bakers if they got any Choquettes and they happily gave him a bag on the house for him. He then pole vaulted to the roof to eat to calm his nerves, especially with a bottle of milk too.
"Something's very wrong with me lately," He thought and ate Choquettes rapidly due to stress and drank his milk.
"Cat Noir?" Marinette poked out of the hatch.
"MEOW!!!" He jumped in midair in fright.
"Oh, sorry Cat, I didn't mean to," Marinette said.
"Oh, hello Princess" Cat Noir settles down.
"What are you doing on my roof?" Marinette asked.
"Just clearing my mind off and having my favorite cat food," Cat Noir said sheepishly.
"It seems this Monarch is running out of ideas now," Marinette said.
"Maybe. But it's clawsome to see you again, my princess" Cat Noir said while finishing his food.
"Same here, Cat Noir. How're things with your partner?" Marinette asked.
"Still remaining friends though she accidentally at times starts saying things about my good looks," Cat Noir said.
"Seems she's in denial" Marinette replied.
"Maybe. But lately, I still can't let go of that Monarch who forced me to cataclysm him. He might not have long to live" Cat Noir said.
"Oh, kitty. Even if killing isn't your thing but it did slow him down a bit" Marinette said.
"I know but it still pains me," Cat Noir said sadly.
His princess scratched his chin and he purred with his eyes closed, "Don't worry, Kitty. I'll always be there for you" Marinette said.
"So will I for you, Princess" Cat Noir said and licked her cheek like a cat.
"What are you doing?" Marinette blushed.
"Just showing my affection for you" Cat Noir teased.
"You're silly, Kitty" Marinette giggled.
"Puuuuuuuurrrrrrr" He nuzzled her neck.
"Good boy" Marinette pets him.
While nuzzling her neck, he kissed her cheek, "I must go, my princess. This kitty needs to hunt mice"
"See you later, Cat Noir," Marinette said before going back inside.
"Bye Marinette," He said and left.
During his run on the rooftops, Cat Noir soon came to a stop on a chimney. He felt strange with his behavior and he never became this aggressive.
"Okay, you're really getting out of hand now!" He said to himself.
He sat near the chimney and looks up at the moon. But then he sees flashes of memories that are not even his. He grunts from his mind going nuts but he straightened himself up to not go crazy.
"Urgh! No! That's not gonna happen!" He stood up, "No way I'm going that far" He jumps from roof to roof to head home.
He came back into his room and detransfromed, ready to go to bed. After brushing his teeth, he went to bed and slept, with Plagg sleeping in the cupboard. He texted his princess, telling her good night before drifting off to sleep.
(Nightmare)
Paris was flooded, the Eiffel Tower was down, the moon was split in half, and the sky was blue and soulless. Adrien was standing on the Montparnasse Tower.
"What is this?" Adrien gasped.
"You're in my domain now, Adrien" A spooky voice came.
Adrien turns around and saw Cat Noir but in a white catsuit and ice blue eyes, "Who are you?!" Adrien exclaimed.
"I am you, just not from this timeline" Cat Blanc grinned.
"No, no way! This can't be real!" Adrien backs away.
"Oh, but it was," Cat Blanc said.
"How did you get like this?!" Adrien demanded.
Cat Blanc smirked in a menacing look as he walks around him, "My Marinette and I were in love but your dad forced her to break up with me. He threatened her at the bakery if she doesn't do what he tells her to or he would pull me out of school and I would never see my friends again" He explained the story, "But that all changed when Hawk Moth found my weakness and he akumatized me. Big mistake because he gave me unlimited destructive power that destroyed all of Paris. It was our love that destroyed the world when he found out my secret identity"
"It's not gonna happen here! He'll never succeed in making me break up with my Marinette!" Adrien protested.
"But it did in my own timeline, handsome. Your father is not being a good parent and who knows how long he'll break you. Just like he broke me. Ask yourself. Does he approve of you? Is he happy for you?" Cat Blanc changes the dream scene to the room where it's covered in metal bars, Adrien's biggest fear.
"No! He's merely using me, disapproving of me every time!" Adrien tried to remain firm.
"Then I suggest you try to show him that you're not a helpless little kitten. Ask yourself again. Where did all that aggression come from?" Cat Blanc snapped his fingers to change the dream back to his prison world again.
"From you I presume," Adrien said.
"Correct. You're holding your anger back too much" Cat Blanc said.
"You sound like my cousin" Adrien glared.
"Definitely. And you do know it's a matter of time before I can help with your life. That's why I possess your body and mind" Cat Blanc said evilly.
"Do me a favor. Don't hurt my friends or Marinette" Adrien said.
"I'm not that heartless, brother. Better yet, your father and that monster took everything away from me. My princess and I were so in love, Paris approved of us but your father did not" Cat Blanc's fist tightening in anger, "All that grief I felt! He destroyed my soul!"
"I will show him his place but not kill him!" Adrien said.
"You don't even know what he was like in my timeline! I don't care if he's still your father but he's not respecting your choices, your life, and your decisions. All he does is do it for you!" Cat Blanc hissed like a cat.
"That's about to end. And do you know how I feel after Monarch made me cataclysm him?" Adrien replied.
"Traumatized, I know. I smelled the cataclysm when he had Time Streamer brought me to this timeline. Big mistake from him" Cat Blanc said.
"Time Streamer?" Adrien was curious.
"An akumatized victim that brought me here through time and space. I almost faded because I don't exist in your timeline. You never were akumatized. Time for you to wake up and I take control of your anger" Cat Blanc laughed wickedly.
(End of nightmare)
Adrien woke up in fright, panting from that horrible nightmare of himself akumatized from an alternative timeline.
"Woah Adrien! What's wrong?" Plagg asked.
"Nothing. I'm fine" Adrien gets up and goes to the bathroom and saw Cat Blanc in the mirror. His mind is playing tricks or the white feline is trying to communicate with him.
"Don't forget, I'm in control of your anger" Blanc spoke out.
"This is gonna scare everyone" Adrien muttered.
"Perhaps even your partner Ladybug" Cat Blanc teased.
"Enough" Adrien gets undressed and takes a shower.

Later as he got to school, he saw Marinette chatting with Alya.
"Hey girls" He greeted them.
"Adrien" Marinette hugs him.
"How are you doing?" He asked.
"Doing fine, Adrien" Marinette said.
"Chloe and Lila are not bothering you, are they?" Adrien asked.
"Not for the moment," Marinette said.
"One thing for sure is that Chloe will never change," Alya said.
"She really pisses me off that she never tries to be nice," Adrien said, nuzzling his princess' hair.
"She's too much like her mother, selfish and snotty," Marinette said.
"Yeah, I'm glad I showed her who's the boss," Adrien said, though it was Blanc who made him say it.
