A/n: another LukaNior centric one because I like that Luka just,,, knows.

Whatever anger issues Hawkmoth had at the moment was really showing through this akuma. It was aggressive, this was probably one of the worst ones so far. It was big, fast and violent. Ladybug had to call in a few other heroes for help because it was so much to deal with. But finally they were making a dent and starting to weaken the guy.

They'd managed to get the akuma over to the canals with the goal of getting them in the water. It'd be way harder to move as fast in the water. Just when Cat thought this fight might be over soon, he spotted a very familiar location.

Luka and Juleka's house boat. And all the other boats on the canals. Not good, if any of the family were inside they could end up in the crossfire of this fight.

"BUG KEEP THEM DISTRACTED!" Cat called out.

Catching on when she saw the boats along the canals she got the message, and gave him a thumbs up back before rushing back into the battle. He zipped off to the docks, very quickly directing civilians away as the fight drew closer. He landed on the deck of the boat just as Luka climbed the steps to see what all the noise outside was.

"Luka! You need to get away from here. And your family, are they home?" Cat said.

"No it's just me, my sister is at her girlfriends and mums at work" Luka replied.

"Ok they'll be fine then, get somewhere safe!"

"Got it!"

Quick to rush off the deck and away from the now very close battle, Luka was off. Cat was quick to leap to the next few boats and give the same instructions, but with how much the boats were rocking thanks to the movement in the water it was a clear sign he had to get back into that fight. Just as he was about to leap back into action, he heard a loud crash and he whipped around to find the akuma had crushed the bridge over the canals and the debris had landed both in the water, in the boats and on the docks.

"CAT WE GOT THIS, HELP ANYONE HURT!" Ladybug called out.

"ON IT!" He called back.

He was already down at the docks anyway, he'd be able to get to people quicker. It seemed like most people had managed to get away, because he couldn't really see anyone around the rubble. He thought all was good, until he noticed the metal boat ramp just next to where the bridge connected to the land, crushed under the debris. And right at the edge, so close to having escaped was Luka. Leg trapped under the rubble and trying to wiggle out of his shoe to get out.

Immediately cat panicked, and was down to the ramp in a matter of seconds.

"Shit- LUKA! You ok?" He asked.

"Son of a bitch- I can't- ugh..." he rambled in frustration, trying to break free.

"Stop, you'll hurt yourself more. I'll cataclysm it"

Disintegrating the debris finally freed Lukas trapped leg, only to reveal to both of them a lot of blood and a very managed ankle. I'm the adrenaline to get free Luka hasn't felt the pain, but now seeing how much blood he was loosing and the fact ankles aren't meant to be shaped like that, it suddenly hurt. Badly.

"SON OF A- fuck... ow, ow-" he panicked.

"Oh gods- ok you need a hospital, NOW!" Cat replied, quickly scooping him up careful not to hurt him more.

He called out to ladybug he had to run and he'd be back ASAP, and when she saw all the blood (and the fact it was coming from her ex who she was still friends with) her response was 'JESUS FUCK- GO! QUICK!'

So cat was off, as quick as he could through the streets, kicking in the doors and promptly demanding immediate care. Full of adrenaline from the fight, his miraculous beeping at him, the boy he liked bleeding in his arms and the sudden attention every hospital worker in the nearby area had on them.

He didn't have time to stay, he simply handed Luka off to a doctor and had to run back to the fight.

That fight took another 30 minutes to end, and every second of it he was worried for Luka and cursing hawkmoth for making this akuma such a bitch. But when it was finally over and he got back home to recharge, the group chat was blowing up with everyone asking Luka if he was ok. The hospital had called his mother, of course. Who obviously told his sister and it was quick to get out to the friend group.

Luckily, he was alright. But his ankle was beyond broken and he'd be stuck in a cast for several weeks, and was high off heavy painkiller all afternoon.

Adrien couldn't stop thinking about it, even late into the night he was lying awake thinking about Luka. So unable to sleep, he decided Cat Noir should check up on him. Out the window, over the rooftops and back to the now lucky charm repaired canals. He could see the lights on inside the boat, so he knew the family was still awake and he could do a little gate crashing.

He landed on the roof, used his baton to lower himself to the port window of Lukas room and gave it a tap. The boy opened it, a little confused but glad to see his saviour.

"Well look what the cat dragged in" he joked.

"Hey, cat puns are my thing" Cat teased.

"What brings you here so late?"

"Making sure you're ok"

Luka let the alley cat inside, and pointed out the thick cast on his foot and ankle. He seemed a little dazed still, probably the painkillers.

"Narrowly avoided needed surgery. They cleaned me up, held everything back in place and now I'm stuck in a cast for at least 10 weeks..." Luka explained.

"Ouch... sorry I had to just run off like that. I'd have stayed if I could" Cat replied.

"It's fine, I get it. Akumas don't wait for the heroes to show up to start fighting. What was up with that guy? I've never seen one so aggressive before"

"No idea... hawkmoth seems to have been making them worse and worse recently"

Luka sat back in bed, having to keep his ankle elevated for a while. On the bedside table we're some strong painkillers, looks like he'd already gone through a few trying to numb the sting.

"I assume your mum freaked out" Cat asked.

"Oh did she ever, almost gave her a heart attack with worry. But she was more angry at the akuma than me for getting into trouble. Not my fault the villain was extra aggressive" Luka replied.

"You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sorry I couldn't get you out of there sooner..."

"Cat it's fine, no one knew this would happen. Plus you have a villain to fight. Too bad the lucky charm didn't fix it though, guess since I wasn't directed hit by the akuma it doesn't count"

That was the annoying thing about the fix magic, it only fixed things directly affected by the attack. If you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, got caught in the crossfire by chance you were stuck with the consequences.

"Hey, since you're the one why swooped me out if there and I got blood all over your pristine suit, how about you be the first one to sign my cast?" Luka asked.

"Ooh an autograph from the amazing Cat Noir? That I can do" Cat teased.

Luka handed him a marker, and Cat made sure to leave a paw print right in the middle where everyone could see. A paw print, his hero name and a smiley cat face.

Bet everyone at school would flip when they see Luka repping the signature of the famous leather clad cat on his foot, as if having a cast didn't already make you popular at school. Everyone just HAS to sign it and know the story of how you got it.

"There" Cat smiled.

"Cute cat doodles as always" Luka giggled.

"Make sure you take it easy ok? Don't hurt yourself any further"

"I'll be careful. Thanks for saving me Cat, don't you worry your whiskers about me"

It was a relief to know he'd be ok, although maybe this could be a nice excuse to come check on him more often...
