*⚠️ Warning, blood/violence ⚠️*

"Y/N!!" You hear, but it sounds like it's coming from far away.

As you stare at the knife that has plunged into your stomach, you feel the vague sensation of falling.

You barely register the fact that you don't smack into the ground, but are caught by something softer.

"What have you done?!"

"Nothing?" You reply meekly to the shouted question.

"Not you, Angel, I'm sorry, I meant Lila!"

"I-I didn't, it wasn't-"

"I don't care! Plagg, claws out!"

You feel air whooshing past you, and then are laid gently to ground.

You try to sit up and watch as Cat goes to start his attack on Lila, but he quickly tells you to be still.

"And don't pull the knife out! It helps keep the blood in!"

"It's not doing a very good job." You remark as you look at your hand that is now painted red.

"Y/n, you've just been stabbed and now you're being sarcastic? Gosh, I love you!" He says before he turns a glare to Lila.

"Why did you call her 'Angel'? She isn't very angelic."

"Do you really want to taunt me right now?" Cat responds darkly, holding his baton like a bat.

You've angled yourself to be able to see Lila's face drain of color, and watch her get in a battle stance.

"You are not going to win this, so just save yourself the trouble and surrender!" Cat says, knocking her down.

"I can't!" She argues, getting back up.

"Why not?!"

He uses his staff to smack her and she falls down again.

"I promised I wouldn't fail!"

"Too bad!" Cat responds and kicks her when she tries to stand up.

She flies backward and lands with a thud into the fruit stand.

"Before I lose my status as a good person, I'm going to stop this now." Cat says and grabs his tail.

He loops it around one of the metal bars connecting the bottom half of the stand to the roof, and ties both ends to her wrists.

"Ladybug will come take care of you soon enough, I've gotta get y/n to a hospital!"

Lila struggles to get free, but can't.

"Her miraculous!" You call out, surprised at how much your voice croaks.

"I can't get it, the knife will disappear!"

"Just use Voyage and hurry so it won't be needed!!" Kaalki yells at him, she'd been standing guard over you and watching this whole time, making sure you didn't pass out.

"Right, duh!" Cat responds and grabs the butterfly brooch from Lila and runs back over to you.

The knife disappears, so now even more blood is pooling around you, and you pull your hand up to look at it.

"Stay with me y/n, just a little longer!" He pleads as he bends down to pick you up, but you're already feeling lightheaded and dizzy from the blood loss.

"Kaalki, Plagg, unify!"

"Now you're Black Beauty! Get it, like the movie?" You laugh at yourself as you start to close your eyes.

"Oh gosh, you're delirious now?! Is that a thing? Doesn't matter, Voyage!"

"Hold on y/n, just a little more, please don't leave me!" He begs, but you barely hear it, you just want to sleep.

"Heh, sounds like Tangled!" You say, feeling like you're floating as you're rushed into the swirling light.

You drift off with the last thing you hear being Cat shouting for a doctor, and continuing to ask you to stay.

Cat's POV

Doctors quickly surround us, getting y/n onto a gurney and rushing her towards what I assume is an operating room.

"What happened?" One of the staff asks.

"She was stabbed!"

"What happened to the knife, what kind was it?"

"Uh, it was lost, and I have no idea, but it was long." We're walking and talking at the same time, or the nurse is walking, I'm practically running.

The most of them turn a corner and I'm stopped as I try to follow.

"Are you family?" Someone new asks.

"I'm her boyfriend! Nobody else is here, I need to be with her!"

"Don't worry, she's in good hands, you have to wait out here."

"I am not leaving her!" I say as fiercely as possible.

"Sir, it's hospital policy. It's for sanitation purposes."

I try to protest, but they just interrupt.

"Besides, she won't be conscious, so it's best for you to wait out here."

"Ugh, fine!" I could stand here all day arguing, but that wouldn't help anything.

They give me a few papers to fill out, so I'll do that, plus I have a call I need to make.

There's some sort of private waiting room I stay in, where I let Kaalki rest, also let Nooroo out of my pocket, and make my call to Ladybug, so she can go get Lila.

"Cat? Where are you? I'm gonna need some help! Lila was released, she lied her way out."

"Yeah, I'm not surprised, but you won't need any help finding her, she's tied to a fruit stand at the base of the Eiffel Tower."

"...What?"

"Y/n and I were down there and she suddenly came out of nowhere and stabbed y/n, so now I'm waiting at the hospital, about to lose my mind!"

"What the heck?! Are you two ok?! And did you get her miraculous?"

"Y/n is in surgery, but yeah, I got it, it's in my pocket."

"Be careful, that thing is dangerous!"

"Trust me Ladybug, nothing can be more dangerous than how I'm already feeling."

"Uhh, right. Well stay calm, and hold onto those miraculouses!"

"I will. Hey, are you busy?"

"I have to get the miracle box back to Master Fu, and take Lila in, why?"

"Well, y/n's parents need to be told what happened, but I don't know their number. So I was hoping you'd tell them? I know it's a lot to ask, and I'd do it myself, but I just can't leave!"

"I can try. What hospital are you at?"

"I have no idea, I used Kaalki to get here."

"Great. Find out where and text me."

"Ok."

We hang up, and Kaalki flies up to me, she'd found some snacks left for whoever came by.

"We cannot get into these." She says, handing me a pack of applesauce and a granola bar.

After I open them she takes it and both kwamis start to eat, while I fill out everything I can on the paperwork.

By the time I'm done it's been at least thirty minutes, it has to have been.

I gotta see if she's out.

She probably isn't.

What was that?!

The voice of the darkness.

The who?

Your girlfriend will need your help, allow the darkness to give you the power to help.

The doctors are professionals, she's gonna be fine.

I don't know what this weird voice in my head is, but I have to check on y/n.

Kaalki and Nooroo have finished their snacks so I have them hide in my pocket.

I make my way to a nurse's station and start my questioning.

"She should be out any minute, unless there's been a problem."

"Ok. Is it alright if I wait out here?"

"I suppose."

"Thanks."

So I stand out there for what feels like an eternity before I see her being wheeled into another room, still unconscious.

I rush over to the two doctors with her and ask how she is.

"She will be fine, the knife missed anything too major. She should be waking up soon, we gave her anesthesia, so she's going to be groggy."

"Ok, thank you! Thank you so much."

"Of course, it's what we're here for." They get her into a room, of course after asking why I'm coming in with her, and as they're hooking her up to an IV she starts to stir.

"Kitty?" She croaks out.

"Y/n! Hey, hey, easy! I'm right here." I say, quickly taking her hand, since she was trying to get up.

The doctor sees that she's awake, and starts to tell her some about what they did.

"We got you sewn up nicely, but you will have to stay with us for a little while."

"Ok. Did you see him up too?" She asks, gesturing to me.

"Um, no? He seems fine."

"Cat!! You didn't tell them you got cut?!" She all but yells at me.

"I sorta forgot..."

"How did you forget the fact that you've been sliced open?!"

"Sir, if you have an injury too we need to take you to an emergency room!" The doctor insists.

Now that's it's been mentioned my side does hurt pretty badly.

"I don't want to leave y/n though! It was bad enough waiting for however long when she wasn't even conscious!"

"Can you look at it in here? He's not gonna leave." Y/n asks.

"That's highly unorthodox." The doctor responds, looking hesitant.

"It's probably not that bad anyway, I mean, I forgot it even happened!"

"That was adrenaline, we need to get you looked at!" Doctor Insistent says.

"Are you sure there's no way you can do it here? Don't you just need a sink and a needle and thread? There's a sink there, and needle and thread are very portable." Y/n says.

"Can't you just come down? It'll only take a few minutes!"

"No! I'm not leaving her again!"

"Fine! I'll go get the tools. Don't bleed out while I'm gone!" The doctor says before rushing off.

"Hello! Kwamis needing air here!" Kaalki says as soon as we're alone.

"Right! So sorry guys!" I let both of them out, and Kaalki immediately flies to y/n's face.

"Oh darling, are you alright?!"

"I'm fine, don't you worry about me! Are you ok, did you find some food?"

"Yes, we both did!" She responds as Nooroo comes closer.

"Oh hi, I don't think we've met!" Y/n says.

"I'm Nooroo." They say timidly.

Just then, the doctor comes back in, so the kwamis quickly hide.

"Alright, since we can't go anywhere I need you to sit in this chair and be very still." The doctor says.

I go over and sit down, but then we realize the wound isn't accessible.

"So uh, how do you get out of this thing? Is it like a Spider-Man type thing or what?"

"Not exactly, it does come off but I don't put mine on the same way Spider-Man does, the way I do it is much easier."

"Where exactly is the cut?"

"Here, somewhere." I respond, gesturing to the area that hurts.

"Well, if the thing comes off then get to it. I doubt we can cut it off, what's it even made of?"

"I have no idea what the material is."

"I do." Y/n pipes up.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Boyfriend material!"

I feel my face get warmer as she laughs.

"Hey, at least now the blood isn't all rushing to the injury!" Y/n says.

=============================
You laugh again as Cat gets redder and the doctor just looks awkward.

"Ok, so we need to hurry this up!" She says.

Cat takes the bell and unzips the top half of his suit just enough to for the cut to be visible.

"So the fabric seems to have helped keep the blood it very well, so that's good, especially since it went so long untreated." The doctor says as she starts to clean it up.

"I can't believe you actually forgot that you'd been cut."

"My mind was a bit preoccupied, since you were unconscious! Though it looks like all my worrying was unnecessary, since you're well enough to be sarcastic!"

"Gotta fight the pain somehow." You joke, giving a little shrug.

"It's not that deep, but definitely does need stitches, so I'm going to start those now." The doctor says, threading her needle.

"Alright."

She starts sewing him up, and you watch as he makes grossed out faces.

"Hey, did you tell my parents about any of this?" You ask.

"No, Ladybug said she would, but since you're awake now you can if you want, unless she already has."

"I will. What hospital are we at?"

The doctor tells you, but then you realize you don't have a phone.

"You can use my baton in just a minute." Cat offers, watching as the doctor finishes up the stitch work.

"Both of your injuries will require monitoring, so you both will have to stay for at least one night. The only reason yours needs continued watch is because it wasn't done the standard way." She says with a pointed look at Cat.

"I'm sorry to make things more difficult, but I really can't go anywhere!"

"Whatever. I'll be checking in soon." The doctor says as she gets everything tidied up and leaves.

Cat gets redressed and comes to sit beside you on the bed.

He quickly leans over to give you a light hug.

You can tell he wants to give you a much tighter one, but is scared to.

"Angel, I'm so sorry! This is all my fault, I should've been paying more attention!" He says.

"Kitty, it's not your fault, it's Lila's! She's in custody now, right?"

"Yeah, Ladybug went to get her. Good thing too, if I would've had to do it I might've snapped."

"And we wouldn't want that."

"No we would not!" He says and leans down to kiss you.

"Ok, here, you can call your parents." He says, getting you his baton.

"Thanks, but I don't know how to work it, can you dial it for me?"

"Of course! Wait, just a sec, let me ask Ladybug if she's already told them."

You watch as he texts her, then waits a second for her response.

"So how did Lila get out? Did she not end up in a prison cell?" You ask.

"She did, but ended up lying to everyone, apparently."

"Ah. I should've known she would."

"Well now she won't get out. She can't go to actual jail, but she can't just go back to normal! She could've killed you!" He says, his voice breaking at the end.

"But she didn't! Now there's nothing to worry about!"

"I don't know, what if it gets infected or something?! You could, you could die!"

"Hey, I'd be dying happy!" You joke, trying to lighten the mood.

"What do you mean?"

"I've seen you shirtless now, so my one goal in life has been accomplished, I can die happy."

"You are impossible!" He laughs, turning red again.

You start laughing too, but stop abruptly as a hiss escapes your lips at the sharp pain originating from your stomach area.

"What wrong?! Should I call the doctor?!" Cat asks hurriedly, already starting to get up.

"No, I'm fine, it'll hurt a little while anyway."

"If you're sure..."

"Relax! Look, Ladybug texted you back." You say, but he doesn't look away from you.

"Are you absolutely sure?"

"Yes! I'll be alright."

"Okay..."

He clearly doesn't want to say it, but he's told you before, most of the dreams he'd had involved your death.
