~3~ Taking in a Stray

It had been a full day since yesterday's incidents and still no sign of this Ladybug you were hearing so much about. Nobody was waking up but they had stopped turning to sand so that was good, and Cat Noir was passed out, purring on your couch. Alya had recorded you defeating sandman and put it on the ladyblog to let everyone know of her disappearance.

The Akuma was sitting in the jar on your kitchen table. You had only gone to school for 2 days but it was cancelled for the rest of the week. You needed to go out to get groceries but you knew it would not be fun with all those unclaimed comatose victims. You went out anyways making sure to lock your house so nobody could get in to Cat Noir or the Akuma.

There were many half sand people lying in your path. People would occasionally recognize you but nobody confronted you, especially with the victims still unhelped. You even saw several missing person ads for a certain Adrien Agreste. You finished the shopping as soon as you could and rushed home. The streets of Paris had a more dangerous atmosphere about it than it had just two days prior.

When you got home you put away the groceries and sat down in front of your superhero. "Cat Noir huh? Who really are you? I'm sure someone out there is really missing you right now." You gently move some locks of hair from his face then turn to the Akuma. Something was there that hadn't been there before you left, a small black box with some oriental red markings on it.

Hesitantly you reached out for it, it was cold like metal with the texture of wood. Upon opening it you found a brooch that looked like a peacock. It was light in your hand and it took a moment to remember that it wasn't yours, or at least you didn't think it was yours. After a few moments of contemplation you clipped then brooch to your shirt. A blinding light shone and stunned you for a moment.

"H-hello," a tiny voice said making you open your eyes. In front of you was a small peacock looking creature the size of your hand. "(Y/N), it's very nice to meet you I'm Duusu." Nothing came out of your mouth and your body didn't move an inch. "This may be very confusing right now but I'm a Kwami. That Brooch is a miraculous, it grants you the power of distraction."

"Wait what, what's a miraculous? Why do I need distraction?" You unconsciously back up towards Cat Noir.

"You don't need to be afraid, you should be proud you've been chosen. You will be a superhero. You have to get the Akumas away from the Akumatized victims, much like you did yesterday. You have to de-evilize the Akuma and save the city. You use the distraction to distract the victim long enough for your partner to swoop in and get the Akuma, it will only last for a short while though, to use it you say Perplex. If you want to transform you say feathers up, you say the same thing to turn back, and you will transform back to normal after five minutes of using your distraction."

"Why me? I've only been here for three days, wouldn't someone else be a better fit, someone who has witnessed Ladybug and Cat Noir several times in person?" You hold your hand out to the tiny creature.

Duusu thankfully sits on your hand. "But (Y/N) you can do this, you already have, and now you'll have power to help yourself. If you've already done this as a normal girl imagine yourself with miraculous power."

"You're right, I can do this, how do I do this?" You eagerly look towards Duusu awaiting your final instructions,

"Yes, all you need to do is cut the Akuma with a fan you will get when you transform, you won't hurt it, it'll just turn white and fly off. This one will be easy, the Akuma is right there in the jar for you, quickly turn back after you de-evilize it, Cat Noir is right there, we can't let him, or anyone for that matter, know who you really are."

"Okay... Duusu, feathers up." Before you knew it your outfit was completely different. You were wearing a skin tight green suit, with blue gloves and blue knee length boots, you had a big blue ribbon in your hair, your peacock brooch was holding up a blue shawl, covering your face is a mask peacock colored with a yellow smidge covering the nose like a beak, and a blade like tail decorated like peacock feathers could detach and be used as some form of a lethal fan.

You grab the jar and untwist the lid letting the Akuma free in your home. The little moth was flapping around and looked at peace. "De-evilize." You did as Duusu said and just as she said it would, the moth turned white and fluttered out of your window. You quickly murmured feathers up and became normal again.

You heard a raspy groan come from the hero on your couch, finally waking up. He looked around then bolted up. "Where am I, where's Ladybug?"

"Hello Cat Noir it's very nice to meet you, I'm (Y/N). You got hit by the sandman and I took you in overnight, you don't need to worry about the Akuma, it's been taken care of, now you should be getting home, I'm sure somebody is very worried about you right now and besides your miraculous must be tiring out. You can go I'll be fine alone." You walk Cat Noir to your door and let him out. Life in Paris might be more interesting than planned.
