Helping

At around 11:40 you tell your mother you're going out for a stroll and walk to an alley.

After quickly making sure nobody is around, you tell Kaalki to come out.

"Good luck, darling. You remember your transformation phrase?"

"Yep! Kaalki, full gallop!"

She flies into the glasses, transforming you.

You sneak out of the alley and towards the address Cat gave you, feeling a little nervous.

Nobody even knows you yet, what if the people think you're just a weirdo dressed in a strange costume?

They won't. You tell yourself.

You arrive at the place and look around.

It's a lot bigger than you'd expected, though you hadn't really seen it before.

You were unconscious, after all.

The huge gates are closed, but unaware as to how you're supposed to get in, you jump over them.

It's not illegally entering, right? I'm supposed to be here. You think.

Slightly worried, you walk up to the massive doors and knock.

You wait for a minute, then the door opens.

A boy -who you think looks very familiar- is standing there, looking at you oddly.

"Who are you?" He asks in a snooty tone.

"I'm Equina. I'm here to help you get the missing woman."

"Oh. Come in." He moves aside and you step in, glancing around the very large room.

"I'm Felix, by the way." The boy tells you, and sticks out his hand.

"Hello, Felix." You say and shake his outstretched hand.

Suddenly a different boy -who looks almost the same as Felix- runs down the steps, before coming to a stop in front of you.

"Hi! Thank you so much for coming, I really appreciate it!" He says.

"No problem, I'm happy to help." You reply.

"So, uh, you can get to my mom?"

"Yeah, who all wants to come?"

"Me, for sure. Felix, do you?"

Felix just nods.

"Ok, let me get my aunt. Oh, and I'm Adrien." He says.

"Equina." You tell him, though if your theories are correct, he already knows that.

He quickly goes off, leaving you alone with Felix.

"I've never seen you before with the other supers." Felix says with a questioning tone.

"I'm new to the team." You tell him.

"Oh."

You nod, feeling a bit uncomfortable, when Adrien comes back with a woman who looks like the one in the tube.

"Did you already get her?!" You ask, confused.

"No no, this my aunt, my mother's twin. She wants to come with us to see mom!" Adrien tells you.

"Ohh, right. My bad." You say, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's ok! You couldn't have known!" He quickly reassures you.

Something Cat would do. You think.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road. Voyage!" You think of the creepy room where you were held captive, and open the portal.

You quickly look through, and see it leads to the area behind the bushes, where you'd been tied up.

"Ok everyone, just walk through this and you will be behind your missing woman." You say, and gesture to the blue circle.

Adrien steps confidently through, but the others seem a bit hesitant as they walk into the light.

You mentally make another note to your list of clues.

13. Adrien seems confident in me, and made sure I didn't feel embarrassed by mistakingly thinking his aunt was his mother.

You can't help but feel like maybe that's a stretch, and he's just a nice person.

But the other clues are so solid, it might as well be one.

Realizing you've yet to join them on the other side of the portal, you quickly step through and close it.

"Wait, how do we get out if you close it?!" The woman, Adrien's aunt, worries.

"I'll make another one. But first I have to recharge, please excuse me for a moment." You tell her, then quickly cross the long walkway to the other side where they can't see you.

"Dismount." You say and detransform.

You give Kaalki the apple you'd grabbed for her, knowing this would happen.

"Oh, darling, you'll be famous in no time!" She gushes.

You laugh as she quickly eats.

"Ok, go ahead." Kaalki says once she's finished.

"Kaalki, full gallop!"

After transforming you rush back across the walkway, and find the three looking around the tube.

"Sorry about that. Just needed to rest." You apologize.

"That's fine, I've read about how you supers have to recharge after using your special powers!" Adrien says.

I'm sure you have. You muse to yourself.

"Right, so when I was here to get Hawkmoth he pushed a button or something over here to open the top. Oh, and this is where your mom is, if you were wondering what this is." You say, mostly to Adrien, though you're pretty sure he already knows.

"So, let's open it and get mom!" He says eagerly.

Everyone feels around the tube for a minute, until you find the button and push it, opening the glass.

"Mom!" Adrien says and reaches for her hand.

"She's so cold..." He says, sounding worried.

"Don't worry, we'll get her to a hospital." His aunt reassures him.

"Yeah, um, Equina? Could you please open another portal?" He asks.

"Of course, Voyage!" You think of a hospital, and make a circular motion.

You stick your head through and find yourself in a hospital parking lot.

"Ok, I think I'll be able to carry her, can one of you go alert a doctor or somebody?" You ask.

"I will." The older woman volunteers and steps through the portal, leaving you to carry the woman.

"Why are you carrying her?" Felix asks as you step up to the tube.

"Since I have superpowers I'll be stronger?" You say, feeling it's kind of obvious.

You're not sure, but you think you see a slightly smug look pass over Adrien's face, but you ignore it and focus on the task at hand.

You slide your hands under the woman's body, and pick her up bridle style.

Adrien seems bit scared so you try to reassure him by saying "Don't worry, I won't drop her."

"Oh, I wasn't thinking about anything like that, I'm sure you can handle it!" He says.

You smile and tell them to go through the portal, then go through yourself and close it.

Following the two cousins you walk into the hospital, where you're greeted at the door by the aunt and a woman in a white coat.

"I found a doctor!" The perky woman says.

"Great, maybe you can do something about this." You say, nodding to the unconscious woman in your arms.

"Yes, let's just get a gurney over here." The doctor replies and gestures to a nurse.

He comes over and the doctor asks him to get a test room prepared.

He nods and leaves, and after a few seconds a different nurse comes over with a bed on wheels.

"Lay her in here and we'll take her for testing." She tells you.

You quickly do as she says and tell the family you'll be back, as you rush to the bathroom to detransform.

You barely make it to a stall before the flash engulfs you.

"Whew, that was close!" You whisper to Kaalki as you hand her an apple.

She eats it slowly, nodding as she does.

"Can you hurry a little more? We should get back." You ask her.

"What for?"

"Well, I'd like to make sure the family is alright."

"Oh, of course! Such a good hero you are, going the extra mile!" She praises you.

You feel a bit guilty, as you're mostly doing it because you think Adrien is Cat.

"Uhh, yeah. Kaalki, full gallop!" You say for the third time today.

After fully transforming you leave the bathroom and look for at least one of the three.

You spot Felix, still lingering in the waiting area.

You go up to him, and ask where the others are.

"They went with Aunt Emilie to do tests. I wasn't allowed to go, it was only immediate family.

"Oh. I hope they can do something for her."

"Yeah."

You fall into an awkward silence, to look so similar to Adrien, they seem to be nothing alike.

"You could leave now, if you want. You've finished your job." Felix says.

"Oh, that's ok. I'll wait to see what happens. I want to know if she'll be alright."

"That's very kind of you."

You offer a smile and go to one of the chairs lining the wall.
