Chapter 21
Info: I probably forgot to mention it, at least here on FFN, that I will keep Trixx as a "female", until the end of the story.
After the kids have had enough of playing, they felt all asleep and Miss Vixen lied one of the boys inside the bed for him to sleep. She patted his head and smiled by the sight of him.
"It must have been a great time for you." Said Super Nathan and Miss Vixen looked at Super Nathan carrying a kid in his arms and moving them swinging the boy to help him fall asleep. Miss Vixen smiled at seeing Super Nathan bringing the boy back to his bed, then covering him to sleep.
"Rest for a bit little guy." Said Super Nathan petting the boy's head and Miss Vixen walked up to Super Nathan.
"You would do a good brother" Complimented Miss Vixen.
"Was not that bad" Said Super Nathan looking at the girl. "Where are we going next?" Asked Super Nathan and Miss Vixen looked back and saw a woman looking from the entrance, then hide behind the other side of the door.
"Madam you can come it." Said Miss Vixen and Super Nathan looked back and saw the woman approaching them slowly.
"Good afternoon" Greeted the woman.
"Hello." Said Super Nathan.
"Good afternoon" Greeted Miss Vixen and the woman stopped in front of the two heroes.
"I've heard, that you two were here visiting the sick children. I was wondering….if you could spend a bit time with my little girl" Said the mother, which had a trail of a tear leaving her eye, down to the cheek.
"Of course we will" Said Miss Vixen passing her hand on the tear of the bit taller woman. "What's the name of your girl?"
"Désiree" Responded the mother. "She's 10 years old, she was diagnosed a long while ago, that she had cancer"
"Oh." Said Super Nathan.
"The doctors told a few months ago, that she's on the final stage and….she's been suffering a lot..." Said the mother starting to sob. "She asked us, a week ago, if we bring her into an exit clinic to…."
"Oh no." Said Miss Vixen and the woman hugged the shorter superheroine. Super Nathan looked sad at the two females and petted the woman's shoulder.
"Is she allowed to go out of here?" Asked Super Nathan and the woman nodded and passed her hand in front of her face.
"Sure she can" Responded the mother. "Follow me." Said the mother walking out of the children room, making her way through the whole corridor until they found their room.
Inside the room on a bed lied a girl with light brown, curled hair having her eyes closed. Next to her on a chair sat a man with short light brown hair, looking depressed at the ground.
"I found them." Said the woman calling the attention of the husband, which looked at the door to see the superheroes coming in the room.
"Good afternoon" Greeted Miss Vixen and Super Nathan. Miss Vixen walked at the bed of the girl, taking a look at the girl. "This is Désiree then"
"Yeah" Responded the father low. "Yesterday we watched TV together and she saw you two on TV...she told me, she would love to be a superhero, even if it was only for a day. As we heard you two were here we talked about asking you two, if this was possible?"
"We could do little things. Save a kitty from a tree for example. If there was a bank robbing or something, I think I wouldn't have her around, in case something would happen to her" Said Super Nathan a bit unsure.
"You could draw something, we could solve with her. At least one thing. Then she finally saw how feels like. I could also do illusions"
"We could try"
"Thank you so much" Said Désiree's mother. "How can I repay for that?"
"You don't need to pay anything" Responded Super Nathan.
"We do it because we want to." Told Miss Vixen and rolled her eyes at the girl as she saw the girl opening her eyes and look up at the two heroes.
"Miss Vixen? Super Nathan?" Asked the girl.
"Hello" Greeted Miss Vixen and Super Nathan.
"What are you two doing here?" Asked Désiree.
"We were visiting a few children here in the hospital and…." Said Super Nathan changing looks with Miss Vixen, unsure about how to continue.
"Your parents told us how much you wanted to be a superhero, even if it only was for a day." Told Miss Vixen and Désiree nodded a bit weakly.
"We wanted to give you a chance to be one for the rest of the day"
"You really want to do that for me?" Asked Désiree with wide eyes at the superheroes.
"If you're interested" Said Miss Vixen and Désiree nodded with a small smile.
"Yes" Whispered the girl.
"Great." Said Super Nathan ribbing his hands together. "Now you just need a super suit and I think I have an idea." Said Super Nathan with a smirk on his face.
Miss Vixen sat on the roof looking down at the cars on the streets driving around the city.
"Wonder, what's taking so long." Miss Vixen asked herself and heard some giggles, then looked around to see, if it was Désiree.
"Look at our girl." Said Super Nathan carrying the girl up in a sand brown fox suit with larger fake fox ears over the girl's head.
"Aww, you look so adorable" Complimented Miss Vixen. "Like a Fennec"
"Thank you" Said Désiree.
"So little lady." Said Super Nathan drawing a hoverboard and gave it the girl. "This is a hoverboard. This will be your ride for the rest of your day, hope you enjoy it"
"Thanks." Said Désiree taking the board with a smile from the boy.
"So….what are we going to do today?" Asked Miss Vixen looking at the two.
"What about a little stroll around the city?" Suggested Super Nathan. "Maybe we find something to do"
"Sure" Responded Miss Vixen. "What do you think Désiree. Or should I call you….Little kit?"
"We can go" Said Désiree with a nod, then Super Nathan helped the girl getting on her hoverboard, then observed along with Miss Vixen the girl taking off slowly.
"You're going good darling" Said Miss Vixen as the girl floated with the board in the air.
"Awesome"
"Yeah, that's how it works" Said Super Nathan and accompanied the girl along with Miss Vixen, heading towards the arc de triumph.
"Désiree, can you land on the top of that monument?" Asked Super Nathan, then Désiree nodded.
"I try" Said Désiree flying at the arc. Désiree lost her balance from trying to lift up with the board and fell off it.
"Ahhhh!" Screamed Désiree and before she was near the ground Miss Vixen caught her and hold her under the arms.
"Got you" Said Miss Vixen looking into the girl's eyes, which looked tired.
"You're okay?" Asked Super Nathan.
"I'm just dizzy" Responded Désiree.
"Do you want to get anything to drink?" Asked Miss Vixen. "Or eat"
"I'm not hungry" Responded Désiree.
"You don't need to hide anything from us" Said Super Nathan getting down at the girl. "We can arrange you something if you want to." Said the purple-skinned hero, observing the eyes of her, which didn't react at Super Nathan approaching her. Super Nathan looked at Miss Vixen, which looked neutral at the partner.
"I will be right back. I go see for anything from about the monument" Told Miss Vixen and took up in the air, getting on the top of the arc de triumph.
Super Nathan looked at the girl and thought about, what he should talk with her about.
"Do you like drawing?" Asked Super Nathan.
"I used to draw a lot" Responded Désiree. "But since I'm at the hospital, I rarely draw anything"
"Did you do anything else?"
"I used to go to school, then I started to have this and….yeah"
"Yeah..." Said Super Nathan. "Uh..."
"That's how life is" Said Désiree sad. Super Nathan sank his head, then placed his arm behind the girl to comfort her.
"Désiree. I just met you today, but you're one of the strongest girls, I have ever met"
"W...Won't Miss Vixen be jealous of you?" Asked Désiree trying to look at the superhero.
"Uh, why should she?"
"You called me strongest girl" Explained the girl. "Isn't she that too?"
"Yes, she is, but I meant it in another way. You're strong and she's super strong….I mean she's not stronger than you. I mean, she's a superhero and superheroes are strong, not than you I….uhg I suck at this"
"Isn't Miss Vixen your girlfriend?"
Actually no" Responded Super Nathan. "We..."
"You should take care of that." Told the kit themed heroine, making the purple-skinned hero chuckle.
"Wish me luck then." Said Super Nathan petting the girl on the head.
"Guys come! There's trouble at the highway" Shouted Miss Vixen from above the arc, then flew away.
"Are you ready?" Asked Super Nathan and the girl in Fennec costume nodded then Super Nathan picked up the girl and followed Miss Vixen to the highway, which was a few kilometers away from the tall monument, they were before.
At the highway all the cars were queuing behind each other, honking around and at the front a car had crashed on the side wall and hit two others, which now stood in the middle of the road, blocking the passage for the other vehicles.
"Wow, I'm impressed" Said Super Nathan looking at Miss Vixen, which shook her head, making the redhead tilt his head. "So this is a real accident?"
"Yeah" Said Désiree pointing at a car, where a hurt man tried to get out of the car.
"Let's get down" Demanded Miss Vixen and the three landed in front of the accident location.
"Super Nathan, Miss Vixen, please help me" Called the man, which tried to get over the window of the door, which was damaged due to the accident.
"Help him." Told Miss Vixen. "I help the guy of the gray car." Said Miss Vixen running to the gray Sedan, while Super Nathan and the young girl made their way to the blue Combi.
"Are you alright sir?" Asked Super Nathan. "Have you got hurt somewhere?"
"I'm not sure, but my leg hurts much" Responded the driver.
"Shall we try to pull you out?" Asked Super Nathan and the driver nodded. "Okay grab his other arm and pull. Come." Said Super Nathan pulling the man slowly with the girl.
"It's going good…..my belt is stuck on the window groove"
"It won't be a big problem" Told Super Nathan trying to lift the man up, while he and the girl were pulling him out.
"It got off!" Announced the man, followed by falling on the ground with Super Nathan.
"Great!" Shouted Super Nathan and looked at Désiree, which sat down looking at the man. Super Nathan placed his arm behind the girl's back, wondering if she was good. "Are you alright?" Asked Super Nathan and the girl gave him a hug, surprising the boy.
"Thank you." Said the girl quiet, putting a smile on the face of the redhead.
"Come, let's help the man get to the side of the highway" Offered Super Nathan and Désiree observed Miss Vixen pulling a car all by herself to the side stripe.
At the mansion of the Agreste's Gabriel sat in his atelier working on his computer. Adrien got into the room of his father, then looked towards him, waiting for him to note.
"Do you need something son?" Asked the blonde.
"I haven't seen Nathalie for a few days since that strange person showed up at our house."
"She texted me, that she's ill" Responded Gabriel. "She gets back when she's fine again."
"Okay?" Said Adrien. "Don't you think, that Nathalie and that woman from last night are the same?"
"I don't know" Responded Gabriel. "We needed to hire someone to check this out"
"Wait….today the superheroes are at the children hospital here in Paris. We could ask them for help" Suggested the blonde teen.
"How long will they be there?" Asked Adrien's father.
"They still should be there"
"I tell the driver to get ready." Said the father and Adrien nodded.
"Thank you father." Said Adrien watching his parent take his phone to contact the driver.
In the evening Super Nathan was writing down on a paper things from a few children, that were from the hospital. Miss Vixen came back with a white and a brown coffee cup. The white was signed with her name and the brown had Super Nathan's.
"Here's your hot chocolate, beret boy." Said Miss Vixen jokingly and the boy with purple skin complexion took it.
"Thanks foxy" Said Super Nathan with a chuckle.
"So, what wishes did the kids ask you?" Asked the vixen heroine.
"A few board games, some that are fun and make them laugh...one of the girls want to have a picture with you, I think she's a few rooms near Désiree's"
"Yes." Said Miss Vixen then sighed.
"Is there something?" Asked Super Nathan.
"I was thinking about Désiree. That she wants to do a euthanasia, yet she's so young"
"Right..."Said Super Nathan neutral. "But….doesn't Belgium and Switzerland only allow Euthanasia for over 18?"
"The Netherlands allows it on kids if it matches on their clinic's guidelines"
"Oh okay." Said Super Nathan looking at the sad girl. "Maybe it's the best choice for her. After all, she's the one, who's been fighting the pain. Only Lord knows, how much it aches"
"I know, but it isn't fair!" Said Miss Vixen a bit angry, then Super Nathan grabbed her on the arms. "Sorry"
"It's okay, I understand."
"Life's that way. We can't change, what happens to us"
"Right" Said Super Nathan thinking on the words of the young girl Désiree. "You're fine?"
"I'm okay." Said Miss Vixen. "Shall we go give that girl you told before the autograph? Then visit Désiree afterward?"
"Good idea" Agreed Super Nathan with a smile, then they turned around and across them came a handsome, dark-skinned teen in a tux, next to him stood a taller woman, dressed with light pink dress jacket and pants.
"Good evening Prince Ali" Greeted Miss Vixen, as she recognized the boy.
"Good evening" Greeted Prince Ali. "I wasn't expecting to meet you two here at the hospital."
"We've been the whole day here. I even wrote a list from, what some kids want to" Said Super Nathan showing him the list.
"If you're interested, I can organize the toys for them. We've brought a bunch of various types of toys"
"You can give the list to Prince Ali, his schedule is really tight and so must be yours"
"Yeah, uhm kinda." Said Super Nathan looking confused at Miss Vixen.
"I'm Miss Vixen and this is Super Nathan." Said Miss Vixen holding her hand in front of Prince Ali, which shook it a bit rapidly. Then he shook Super Nathan's, except Super Nathan did the same to Prince Ali, which didn't seem to matter about the speed of their handshake.
"A very hard handshake you got." Complimented Prince Ali.
"Uh thanks….I got it from drawing" Responded Super Nathan.
"If you two excuse us. We have to go. See you later" Said the chaperon of Prince Ali, leaving along with the boy.
"I got a fast handshake?" Asked Super Nathan looking at Miss Vixen, which giggled.
"No idea, what he meant, but well." Said Miss Vixen walking along with Super Nathan along the corridor and as they were near the room of Désiree they saw a doctor coming out, then Miss Vixen elbowed her partner, which nodded.
Both arrived at the door, then saw Désiree lying on the bed next to ECG, which was deactivated. The parents of Désiree were on their knees, next to her bed crying, making Super Nathan swallow hard as he thought about, why exactly they were crying.
Miss Vixen walked into the room at the girl, seeing her with the eyes closed, motionless.
"Désiree?" Whispered Miss Vixen. She gazed neutrally at the girl, went down on her knees, placing her hand on the cheeks of the girl, feeling the chill of the girl's skin. "Dési?"
Super Nathan looked sad, then came closer to the vulpine heroine, joining next to her.
"I didn't even have the chance to tell her goodbye" Said Miss Vixen, while her eyes got watery and streaming over the mask, down to her cheeks. Super Nathan lied his arm behind Miss Vixen, trying to give her comfort, but he got embraced by the girl, which cried now on his chest, making him feel more tragic and get his eyes filled with water to let them out. He pressed his arms around the heroine more, letting the sorrow out of his soul from discovering, that the little girl, they were spending the day, had passed away, leaving everyone she loved back.
The father of the girl passed his hand on the back of his wife, talking to the woman.
"She will be fine honey. She will be up there with god, watching over us" Said the man during his sobs.
Miss Vixen took another look at the girl, before sinking her head again into Super Nathan's chest for solace.
"Thank you." Said the father to the superheroes from the other side of the bed. Miss Vixen looked at him, paying attention to Désiree's dad. "Thank you for spending the time together with my little girl."
Miss Vixen smiled while passing her hand to clean her tears from the face.
"She said, that it was the best day she ever had...and..." Said the father followed by more sobs. "I'm glad, that I could keep good words from her, before her departure"
The vixen miraculous holder smiled and stuck her face on Super Nathan's for console and the father walked to the door picking his phone out to call someone, after that he lied his forehead on the door, trying to cope with the mourning.
I got informed about the final stage and tried to add one or two symptoms, that are known in the final stage. It was also my first time writing something in this way.
