Lost, Literally Wrench x FemReader

Part 1: Is this what I think it is?

It seems that the time loop between dimensions brought me to San Fransisco. Or at the very least some version of the real city. Shouldn't take long for me to get back on track, least I hope so. I have a bunch of questions but nobody to ask. I guess the only way is to start exploring the bay area. Good thing is that the time loop happened to drop me into a forest. It would've been hard to explain if I dropped from the sky in the middle of the city. All the circumstances considering, my clothes are okay for this environment and if somebody asks, then I was supposed to attend a cosplay convention or something but just got lost. My hair is (h/l) and (h/c) right now but I can change it however I like. I'm wearing a brown crop top with a leather harness and a pair of tight blue skinny jeans. I hope the people around here don't panic when they see my face in the moonlight. Good thing is it is daytime, bad thing is it won't be long until the sun sets, and people will start to take notice of my weird appearance. Fortunately, I was in a dimension on American soil before the time loop got me, so I have the right currency right away. I need to buy a backpack and some food, maybe even a tent.

I start walking down the tiny hill in the forest towards the noise of the city. Good thing my ears won't fail me even if my eyes did. You see, I'm bad with directions but my ears and nose work better than fine, with them I'm a little above average. I can track you like a bloodhound and I can hear your heartbeat like a hungry predator. My eyes when they want to work can also be useful, in a way your eyes work nothing special about them. Mine are (e/c) if you're wondering. It seems to me that this might be easier said than done. Fortunately, there seems to be a cab on the side of the road. I approach the cab and try to locate the driver, but I can't see anyone. I wait for a while, but nobody appears. It seems the cab has been abandoned, but for what, I have no idea. I peek through the window and see the keys are not in the car. The door isn't locked though, so I open the door and sit myself down on the driver's seat. Good thing my previous life was filled with all sorts of machinery. Starting a car without keys is child's play at this point. After messing a little with the wiring under the steering wheel I finally find the wires I was looking for. Connecting the two wires and gently tapping one of my fingers on the exposed copper wiring, I can hear the muffled roar of the engine when it finally starts. You see, I have some electricity related powers that help me from time to time. Letting the engine run a while and putting the wiring back where it belongs, I close the door and see where I should be heading. The cab is equipped with a map service called Nuddle Maps. That sounds very familiar. I click on the app and see a bunch of recommended places. I should take a look at them some time, but now I need to drive to a store. The app finds me a route to one okay sounding shop, and I put the car on first gear and pull off the tiny dirt road.

20 minutes later...

After shutting the cab down on the parking lot, a block away from the store, I get out and stretch a little. I look at the map a few seconds more and start walking towards the shop. On my way I hear a bunch of noise from an alley and look if I can find the source. There're a couple men with a much shorter woman at the end of the alley. The men seem to be intimidating the woman for something. I decide to linger just to make sure they won't hurt her. "What's a girl like you doing all alone in an alley? Shouldn't you already be at a club?" one of the men asked in a very degrading tone. I don't like it, not one bit. Before the woman answered the other one continued to get closer to her. She just kept backing towards the wall at the end of the alley. I look around quickly before entering the alley. I can already see how this will play out. I'll grab that wooden plank and strike the one closer to me and then gently connect my fist with the other one's face, just a few seconds after I've gotten his attention. Time to execute a plan...

A moment later...

It didn't go as planned. Luckily the woman got her senses back after the man in front of her turned around and my fist briefly met with his face. She did this awesome thing where she jumped up and lifted herself up by the fire escape and kicked the man in the back and made him stumble. He landed on his friend and I guess hit his head on the concrete. "That was awesome!" we both yell at the same time. "Thanks, I don't know why I froze like that. It usually doesn't happen," the woman says and strokes the back of her head. "It happens to all of us at one point. It's either fight, flight or freeze. Not many people realize that. Sometimes whatever you do might end badly," I say as some memories flood back. I'd rather not go through any of that again. "Hey, I'm Sitara by the way. How 'bout you? You don't look like you're from around here," she says and offers me a handshake. I take it and say, "Well I'm (y/n). And no, I'm not from here. I was actually going to shop for some clothes. After that, I need some food." Wait, she said her name is Sitara. Why the Hell does that sound so familiar? "Hey, you want me to come with you, I've got a few ideas I'd like to implement. Your body build is exactly something that would work wonders with the stuff I have in mind," Sitara suddenly pipes up. "Why the Hell not. I'm lost already either way," I laugh and accept the offer. We take off towards the shop, in the opposite direction I was heading... Damn these senses of mine.
