"Tom?" Sabine yelled into the shop, having opened the door and been ready to open up for the day. "Tom, could you call an ambulance? Now?"

"Sabine, what's wrong, why would I need to-" He walked over to her. He peered over her shoulder and then onto the doorstep. "Alright, right now. I'll get to it. Ambulance."

Sabine crouched down by the raven teen, brushing some of the hair out of his face. "Poor boy. We'll get you some help. Promise."


"Y'know, you're lucky I got that battle on tape!" Alya spoke as she and Marinette walked home from school, side by side.

Marinette laughed, "I was hiding. I was doing what I should be doing in that situation."

"Well-" Alya began to counter, "You got me there."

"Exactly!-" Marinette began to say before being cut off by a siren as an ambulance rushed by. "What was that?"

"An ambulance, Mari."

"Yeah, I know, but it was heading toward- The bakery!" Marinette broke off into a run, with Alya chasing her close behind.


"Papa! Is everything okay?" Marinette yelled as she threw open the door to the bakery. "Where's Mama? Was she-"

"Your mother is fine." Tom sighed as he wiped down the counter.

"But the ambulance-"

"Was not called for her. She's with someone at the hospital right now. She's alright."

"What do you mean-"

"A hurt kid showed up on our doorstep this morning. She went into the hospital with him. I haven't gotten any calls saying that she knows anything yet. So we have to wait."

"Fine."


Danny awoke with a start, an inky blackess surrounding him. Blue-green eyes gazed around, looking for anything real. Something that was there.

Suddenly, a blur faded into his vision and as he concentrated more, it grew closer and easier to see.

Dan.

Danny found himself trying to get away, his limbs flailing, looking for any kind of purchase to latch onto. He tried to scream, but nothing came out.

"I will return," His future form spat, "Do not worry, young one." Dan vanished, colors coming into his view.

His friends, his family, they were all still in the Nasty Burger. He had to save them.

He would save them this time.

He would.

They were yelling for him, wanting help.

But he couldn't

The explosion rocked him to his core.
