Going through Warp Gate's portal was different this time. Last time it was quick and I felt as if nothing had changed. But this time my body seemed liquified and time seemed to slow down like i was trekking through a lake of molasses. I had no idea where I was intended to go, and I only beat myself up for allowing myself to get into this predicament.

 If only I had been paying more attention. If only I had listened to Todoroki's warning. I was pushed into the portal and didn't react quick enough to stop my fall. I assumed I'd end up somewhere else in Japan, away from the action. Worst case scenario I would end up somewhere in an entirely different country. But even that wasn't so bad, because any of the heroes I met could help me get back to Japan.

 I shouldn't have been so relaxed but I was. I just waited for the trip to end. I could tell it was nearing its end because my body started to feel solid again and time seemed to speed up. I braced myself for a heavy fall, but instead I landed softly on my feet, in a place I didn't recognize.

 In the distance I could see the Eiffel Tower, so I knew I was in Paris. But what I didn't understand is how...normal everything looked. Here there were no quirks being used at all. Maybe it was just a coincidence I didn't see any abnormalities, but with over 80% of the population having a quirk, I highly doubted that nobody would be using them right now. I looked down and noticed I wasn't in my superhero outfit anymore. I was in a fitted gray hoodie and black jeans. Green shoes were on my feet. I looked at my reflection in a nearby shop. My hair was still green, but it didn't look natural compared to the people roaming the streets. They sported red, honey, black and brown hair. No crazy colors like the one on my head. 

I looked around to see if anyone had seen me materialize, but to my luck no one had. I had to find an agency in Paris. Being transported here was better than anything else because I knew Paris had a lot of heroes. I stopped someone in the middle of the sidewalk.

"Excuse me, do you know where the closest hero agency is?" The lady looked at me like I was crazy. Then her face brightened.

"Oh! You must be from out of town! Ladybug and Cat Noir don't have an agency they work for." She laughs. "They do the hero's work all on their own. Thank the Lord they stepped up to stop Hawkmoth!" She walks away, giving me a small pat on the shoulder. I tried asking another person if they knew where the closest hero agency was, but they just ignored me and went on their way. I kicked the ground and tried to think. Did I know any of the heroes in Paris? I knew one of them had the ability to freeze time. But I couldn't remember any of the other Parisian greats. I started to walk down the street, hoping to stumble across an agency building when I collided with someone.

"Oomph." I rub my head and sit up and I see a dark haired girl doing the same. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you."

She starts waving her hands frantically. "No! I'm sorry it was my fault, I ran into YOU!" I start gesturing widley and we both continuously apologize for running into each other and bystanders are looking at us strangely. We get up and I try to help her pick up her stuff but we end up butting heads.

"I'M SORRY!"

"NO PLEASE IT'S MY FAULT!" We work in an uncomfortable silence as we pick up delicious looking pastries off the ground. "Wow, those look really delicious!"

"Oh! They're from my parents' bakery! I was actually heading over to them right now! I grabbed the wrong pastries for my friend! You could come and get some! I think my mom just finished a batch of macarons!" She looks so happy, talking about her family bakery.

"You must really love baking!" She smiles.

"I do! But my real passion is fashion designing!" She grows a bigger smile. "I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up! One of my best friends is a model for the Agreste clothing company-Adrien Agreste? I'm sure you've heard of him! I design clothes for his father sometimes which is SUCH an honor!" She looks at me and cocks her head. "Come to think of it, you look around my age. Are you visiting from another place in France? I don't recognize you from my school..."
