Danny and the others all stood up from the bench at once, the water running over their shoes as it started rushing faster and faster. Nino jumped up onto the bench and tried dragging Alya up with him. "It's an Akuma attack!" Marrienete exclaimed, her eyes wide as she backed up.

Adrian stepped forward, seeming uncaring of all the water around him for how expensive his clothing seemed. "It's probably going to flood the whole city."

Danny looked at the bench that Nino and Alya were standing on. "That bench isn't going to keep you dry for long. We need to get out of here." He pulled on their sleeves and the five teens started running.

The water was up to their knees now. Danny could see people climbing on top of cars and others going up to their rooftops and calling down to those still stuck below to use their windows to get up high. "We need to get up on one of the roofs before we get trapped," Alya said.

Danny and the others nodded. Both Adrian and Marinette looked a bit antsy but came with them anyway. They ran over to one of the buildings which seemed to have an open upper floor window. There was a person inside the window, calling for the people below to climb up to it for safety. They ran over and both Danny and Adrien started lifting people up enough to have them climb into the window, thankfully aided by the good samaritan inside who was helping pull people up.

Danny was taking in quick breaths, the water feeling like it was constricting all around him. It was halfway up his chest now and the water started flowing faster, rising almost an inch every second. Danny and Adrien helped the last person from the street up, seemingly having gotten everyone. Though Danny took a split second to look around, he didn't remember lifting Mari — hopefully she got up safely.

Danny looked at Adrian, "Okay, I'll help you up, and I'll figure out another way to get in." Danny said, already holding his arms underwater weaving his fingers together for Adrien to step on them.

"No way, you go first! I've had lots of swimming lessons, I'll be fine." The water was up to their necks now, the current getting stronger, and Danny was trying very hard not to be swept away propping his body against a mailbox. Right now the brunt of the water's force was being split by a car sitting on the street in front of them.

Danny groaned, "Hurry man, or we'll both drown!" He wasn't leaving Adrien to fend for himself. Danny was already dead, so there was not much more that you could do to him! That, and the fact that Danny was a miraculous holder, he would be okay. Adrien the high school fashion model wouldn't. Adrien looked between Danny and the raging waters. Danny was taller than him so he wouldn't last much longer.

Suddenly the car in front of them shifted. It was swiftly pushed by the water current so that it almost slammed directly into them, Adien's foot slipped, and he started being pulled off by the current. "Adrien!" Danny yelled, reaching out to grab onto him, his other hand holding onto a nearby lamppost. Danny could see Adiren's face getting repeatedly pummeled with water, head being pushed down over and over. And suddenly he slipped from Danny's grip.

Danny cursed as he leaped into the water after him. He could hear their friends calling out after them from the roof, but right now, he was more worried about Adrian drowning out there, good swimmer or not.

Danny couldn't touch the ground anymore, and he was less swimming than being swept through the current like a plank of wood in a hurricane. "Adrien!" He called out before coughing up water, "Adrien!" Danny was about to summon Finn and turn into Riptide in order to find him faster. His identity was less important than Adrian's life.
