Just Different Time Zones

Here to help : Part 8

7:48 AM

" Shit, I really screwed up." He shoved his phone into his back pocket as he dove into an alleyway, behind some boxes . " Plagg Claws Out!" With that, Adrien Agresté disappeared, and Chat Noir made his appearance. He extended his staff into the air, lunching himself on to the nearest roof. He landed with a harder thud than he was expecting, which in turn he lost his balance and landed face first onto the roof, resulting in an even louder thud. " Ah, get it together!" He stood up and brushed off the dust and fluffed up his hair. "Jeez, my nerves must be shot." He sighed and slid down his staff to the street. It was always quicker to get somewhere by hopping across roof tops, but for his safety and the roofs of Paris's safety, it was better if he traveled by foot. He popped open the phone in his baton and activated the tracker on Marrinette. He then began to make his was to the sewers by the pier, where she was.

7:49 AM
Sewers of Paris:

" Jeez, it smells horrendous down here." Urauraka laughed as her and Marrinette got fully settled in their spot against the cold concrete.

" Yeah, it really does." Marrinette began to laugh before she winced in pain.

" Are you ok? Are you hurt?" Urauraka was now concerned. She had taken a vow to never bring harm to anyone who wasn't a criminal.

" Oh, I'm alright. I think I scraped myself when I flipped over earlier." Her hand carefully went over her stomach and side. If you looked closely, you could see that blood had started to seep through the white fabric of her dress.

"Oh no, you're bleeding. Do you have anything on underneath? I can take a look. I'm medically trained." Urauraka now had a guilt ridden look on her face.

Seeing the turmoil on the girls face, Marrinette agreed. She showed her the scratches across her body that were right above her shorts that she had worn under her dress.

Urauraka looked at the wound and frowned." It's pretty deep. I'm surprised it didn't shred your dress. Shoot, Deku has all of the first aid." She frowned further as she realized how much of Marrinette's abdomen was scratched up.

" Oh, I have a first aid kit in my purse. Tikki, can you hand me my purse,please?" She motioned to her purse. It was a large black bag with her name embroidered in gold on it.

Tikki nodded and grabbed the purse, and handed it off to Urauraka, who carefully accepted it. Urauraka pulled out a large first aid box. Her eyebrows rose, she was a little surprised. It was a full and complete first aid kit. She smiled and put on the gloves and opened up the bottle of iodine. "Allergery to shellfish?" She asked. Marrinette shook her head no. Urauraka began to drip the iodine onto the scratches. " This will sting."

As the wounds were treated, the two sat in silence for a moment. Before Marrinette broke the silence. " So, um, um, what's a Deku?" Urauraka furrowed her eyebrows slightly and blinked a couple of times, and stopped her treatment to stare at Marrinette. " I mean, you mentioned it twice. You were looking for it earlier, and um, you seemed worried." Marrinette tried to clarify in hopes that she hadn't said something offensive.

" Not what, who, Deku is the name of my hero partner that I was with before I got here." She continued administering the treatment. " I don't think I'm in the right dimension. You know, like a comic book."

Marrinette stared down at her.

" You see things where I'm from are very different. About 85% of the world's population have a superpower that shows up at around age 5. It's called a qiurk. Before my arrival, my partner and I had been assigned to arrest a vigilante whose quirk opens holes in time and space. She had been killing Heros. We got into an altercation, and I got pushed through a hole and woke up here. Everything was really fuzzy at first, that's why I was so confused and on guard. I truly do apologize for my actions." Urauraka took a moment to give a slight bow of her head with her apology.
