Electra's POV

Electra sighed wistfully as she pushed her curtain of now raven black hair off of her pale face. She was so unused to this therefore kept expecting to see her usual long pink hair falling radiently around her, the curls big and wild but so normal to her and far tamer than they had ever used to be when she was younger. At least she could finally tame that. But this weird dead straight jet black curtain of hair was something she couldn't decide if she adored or hated. Another weird thing was her skin. She definitely didn't like that though, the weird, pinky beige colour that they'd told her some humans had. It was all so... bland. Especially compared to her normal emerald green colour. Why were humans so uninventive with their colouring? Were they just this boring? She hoped not or she thought she would die from boredom as she spent the required time with them to do this mission, solve this case of sorts.

As she was glancing in a mirror to check her new appearance once again she heard a sudden commotion around the corner. Stupid humans! They were always getting into scrapes. How on earth would they have managed to cause ruckus this time, she wondered to herself.

Almost out of pure chaotic curiosity to find out what was going on, Electra sprinted around the corner, or well, jogged at a moderate pace for herself but at what was just a little faster than the usual runing pace of a human. It would not do for her to show everyone she was an alien so early on. That had to be saved for an emergency.

When she rounded the corner she saw that someone had clearly fallen from somewhere, she wasn't sure where, but had been badly caught by human hands who looked like they were about to drop her. For some reason that Electra wasn't sure of, she felt a sudden irrational need to protect them, and with a sudden burst of speed caught them in her strong arms. They were awake for just a few moments but then fainted which Electra attributed to a possible concussion and just pure shock. Muttering something to the humans around them about taking the person to the hospital, she decided that it would probably be best for Electra to simply take them back to the apartment that had been supplied to her so as to use the medical supplies she had.

When they got there, Electra lay them out on the sofa and grabbed her first aid kit from her case, flicking through it to consider what was best for her to use. She had some different things to what would be used in a human hospital, more advanced medication that could only be found on plants such as Venus or Pluto. She eventually decided to use some cream that would cure their concussion quickly and wake them up, however it would take a while to fully cure the concussion. It was the safer option to use on someone she assumed was a human, it wouldn't overload their immune system and confuse everything by working too fast for their body to process. The only issue was that it would wake them up almost instantly so it could be a bit of an issue getting it hidden before that. She would just have to hope that they wouldn't be paying much attention.

Gently rubbing the cream onto their forehead Electra quickly pushed the bottle into her first aid kit as their electric yellow eyes popped open.
