CHAPTER EIGHT

Andy has a plan, whether the plan was smart or stupid, Andy was still deciding. Thump, Andy heard the sound of a person falling to the hot hard ground, "Are you okay kid?" Andy asked as she helped the small child get back on his feet, he nodded in response. "Where are your parents?"

"I-i," he looked down, grabbing out a note from his pocket, it read; 'my name is hugo, i am french. i can't speak english. if lost call 33 2 94 22 34 32.'

Oh, Andy grabbed out her phone and used Google translater, she typed, "Hi Hugo, I'm Andy, are you lost?" He nodded, "Okay, I'll help you get back, you just got to trust me, can you do that?"

The ten year old nodded though Andy could tell the boy was sceptic of her as would any person with half a brain, Andy dialed the number on the note, ring ring, ring, ring, "Bonjour c'est Marinette."

"Um hi, ma'am I have your kid here, he says he is lost."

"Oh mon Dieu, that's the last time I let Lou babysit, where is he? I'm on my way."

Andy looked around, her dark brown eyes searching for an easy identifiable place for foreigner, "We're just by the Coles at Fairfield on Court Road."

"Oh, thank you. I'll be right there," Marinette hung up the phone as Andy turned her attention back to the little boy. The young boy looked five, maybe six years younger then herself, he wore glasses and had his hair in a messydo.

"Do you know any English?"

He nodded, "Some, it not good, I learning."

Andy sighed, she only knew English and Spainish, plus some Japanese that she was forced to learn at school. She started typing in google translater, "I called your mum, she said she's on her way but you need to walk to Coles, that's were she will pick you up from, can you walk to there by yourself?" The boy shook his head, his light brown curles messing up his doo. "Do you trust me to show you the way?" He shool his head once more, Andy was busy, she had a plan but she can't leave a kid alone in a foreigner country with a language he doesn't even know, "What's your plan then?"

He held his hand out, she went to give him her hand but then she realised he wanted the phone, Andy made a small oh sound and gave him the phone without question, if he broke the phone Star Foster could just get her a new one anyway, that's what they did with her last one.

Hugo dialled his mother's phone number, "Maman, tu es à quelle distance ? D'accord. J'attends sur-" The ten year old looked through his glasses, Andy guessed he was trying to find the street name, "Rose Street avec une fille qui a aussi des lunettes. D'accord, au revoir maman." *translation in comments* He handed the phone back to Andy and smiled innocently as Andy looked at him with a face full of confusion, not understanding a word the boy had just said. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," she repiled though she didn't understand why as he probably wouldn't understand her. She looked around and pointed to a bus stop, "Let's wait there."

Hugo nodded and walked over to the bus stop sitting down quietly. Andy looked down at the time, she wants to do her plan during the day but if she had to do it during the night she guessed that's what she had too do. "So... Hugo?" He turned to face her, Andy started typing on her phone, "How did you get lost?"

Andy gave her phone to him as he typed up his answer, "My sister was babysitting me while my mama, papa and sister was at an appointment. Lou realised that we had no milk, so she gave me $5 to get milk and spend the change on myself."

The car pulled up on the side of the road, Marinette Dupain-Cheng ran out of the car and hugged her son, "Thank you for calling me, and waiting with him."

"It was nothing, really. I'm just glad that he is okay now," Andy smiled as she typed in google translator one last time, she let it play, "It was nice meeting you Hugo."

"You- two," he replied, hesitating slightly with his words.

"It was nice meeting you Miss Marinette but I have to get going or I will be late-"

Marinette nodded, "We have already kept you for long enough Miss~?" she paused realising that she doesn't know the girl's name, she drawn out the miss as she waited for Andy to share her name.

"Andy-"

"Thank you Andy, I'm sorry that you had to shortly postpone your plans," Marinette remembered the girl's name, the same creepy smile on her face that she did with Pierre. Hugo looked at her mother with a confused face, Marinette only did that face when she was really really  happy.

Andy took a small step back, maybe telling this stranger her name wasn't the best idea. "It was no problem really, sometimes you have to do a hero's job for them."

Marinette laughed, not because what Andy said was funny but because there literally not a more ironic person to tell that too. "Sometimes the best heroes are the ones without the mask."

Talking about ironic, Andy looked at the time on her phone, it's going to be dark soon, "I really should get going now miss."

"Of course, thank you, once again," she nodded and started to walk away.

Andy felt confused, doing a hero's job, why would she say that? Andy is a villain, she made herself one, she isn't a anti-hero or whatever characters like Batman are called. Andy is the villain and helping some lost French boy doesn't change that.

She kept walking and then running, if she wanted to go through with her plan and then it's definitely going to have to take place at night. Andy had no more time to wonder whether or not her plan is going to backfire, she just had to have faith in her father and his words, it's like a game of chess.

I finished this chapter before chapter seven but I decided to post it anyways, ch7 doesn't actually have any impact on the story other then Nessa, Quartz, Tiffy and Aiden character development.

Welp sorry for not updating in a month, all chapters up to ch10 maybe ch11 are planned out, the problem is me finding the time to write them.
