Thanks for all your nice reviews everybody! You fricken' make my day no lie! Now, on with the story!
It didn't take long for Cat Noir to fall asleep with his head still on Ladybug's knees, he figured if he fell asleep the pain would go away. But soon she had to put his head back down on the ground, starting to hear a ringing in her ears. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. "Are you okay?!" Mackenzie started, getting a little nervous. "Yeah, I'm fine, just a little dizzy." Ladybug answered.
Mackenzie tried to get closer to Ladybug and help her, but Ladybug just shooed her away. "No, I'm fine." She said again. "Alright…" Mackenzie said, uneasily. Mackenzie started towards Cat Noir, but Ladybug made sure she didn't touch him.
"It's fine, Ladybug. I've proved myself!" Mackenzie said. "I-I know. It's just…I just think that….Um, I'm sorry." Ladybug stammered. "It's okay." Mackenzie said. "Uh, why-why do you help us? Like, how do you know what to do?" Ladybug asked, watching Mackenzie lift Cat Noir's head and place it on her lap.
"Well, I help because I-I hurt you both and I can help." Mackenzie started, "And I know what to do because my Mom is a nurse and I used to help out around her office." She finished. Ladybug thought about this and decided that this Mackenzie girl was actually a lucky draw.
It was very lucky that it just so happens that Mackenzie's mom was a nurse. It was like Mackenzie knew exactly how to deal with everything in the certain way it should be done. Ladybug couldn't hold her curiosity any longer. "What are you doing?!" She asked.
"I'm performing what I learned about Stab Wounds." She answered. "I have to put a cloth under his head and make sure he is still breathing steadily." Mackenzie started. "Then I have to apply pressure on the wound to make sure it doesn't bleed too heavily." She finished. Ladybug was impressed. This girl was only like 14 but she knew more about medical care than Ladybug could ever dream about knowing.
The more Ladybug thought about it, the more Mackenzie started looking like a nurse. She had chestnut-brown hair with a blonde highlighted streak running through it. She had a round face with freckles dotting her creamy white skin. It looked like spots of paint splattered on a whit canvas.
She had piercing blue eyes. They almost looked like pretty blue marbles poking out of the snow. Her hair was in a messy ponytail and her clothes were dirty and torn, but not too bad. She almost looked professional when she was focusing hard. Ladybug almost forgot who Mackenzie was working on.
"Hey, can you help me lift him?" Mackenzie asked. Mackenzie's voice broke Ladybug out of her thoughts and back into reality. "Oh, um. Sure..." Ladybug said a little uneasily, not sure if she really wanted to touch her partner while he was still asleep. She shuffled over to her partner, asking Mackenzie what to do. "So, you want to make sure you-" Mackenzie started. (I'm not a science person...so just go with it. This is kind of like your speeding up time to like 10 minutes later.)

It didn't take the two girls long to finish wrapping Cat Noir's chest, but it did take a while for Ladybug to finally let Mackenzie help her out. "Come on, I helped your partner, I can help you." Mackenzie pointed out. "I know, it's just-he needed it, I don't really need it." Ladybug said. "Yeah, you do. In case you didn't know, your head was bleeding." Mackenzie said.
"Oh, well...His side is bleeding a lot more than my head..." Ladybug said, hoping she could out wit Mackenzie. "Nope, not working." Mackenzie said, "Not buying it. I help every patient no matter how big or small the injury is." She finished. Ladybug had hoped her trick would work, but instead, when it didn't she was only impressed.
Mackenzie wouldn't let any excuse pass her by, even if Ladybug's excuse wasn't the best one. Mackenzie took some of the cloth she got at the store and used it to patch Ladybug's wound. Ladybug winced and scooted back a couple times, but really tried not to. It only took about 3 minutes to clean Ladybug's wounds, though.
"Hey, why are we still here?" Ladybug asked, "It's not like we're hiding from anybody." She pointed out. "We aren't, but I can't know who you guys are, no one should for that matter and I've already checked. There is no place that would keep superheros for more than 12 hours. Even if there was, I don't think you two should move very much for a while anyway..." Mackenzie answered. Ladybug could do nothing but nod in agreement."But we can't stay here forever!" Ladybug argued. "I know, but just like you said, Cat Noir—" She started, pointing to the sleeping kitty. "-Is doing a lot worse than you and we aren't in any hurry." Mackenzie pointed out. Ladybug did agree, but couldn't help wondering how they were both doing health wise…
"So, how are we doing?" Ladybug asked, a little nervous. "Well, your head will take at the most 3 weeks to heal and you might get headaches now and then…" Mackenzie said. Ladybug thought as much. "And Cat Noir?" She asked. "Um, well his side will hurt for at least 5 weeks, give or take a few. And it should start healing in a couple of days." Mackenzie answered.
"Well that's just great" A sarcastic voice moaned. The two girls were surprised when they turned around to see Cat Noir awake and listening to their conversation. He immediately started to try to sit up, but was stopped short by two freaked out girls. "No! Don't do that! You need to lay down." Mackenzie warned. "Oh, come on! I'm feline a lot better than before!" Cat Noir said, smiling at the reaction his cat pun had earned. "Forget it." Mackenzie said flat out. "But Ladybug can move around, why can't I?" Cat Noir pouted, like a kid that thought the sibling was getting a better deal.
"Well first off, Ladybug shouldn't be moving around too much in the first place—" Mackenzie started, staring at Ladybug like a teacher stares at a miss behaving student. "-And second off, her injury is on the head and isn't too big, yours is on your side and it's pretty big. Your injury interacts with the muscles and nerves you need to walk. Ladybug's doesn't. But she still shouldn't be moving around too much anyway." Mackenzie finished.
"Alright, fine." Cat Noir grouched. "Good, now you two stay here, I'm going back to the store to get some more supplies. Make sure he doesn't get up.-" Mackenzie said, looking at Ladybug. "- Don't move." Mackenzie said again, looking at Cat Noir as she left. Cat Noir just looked at Ladybug and smiled. First he moved his feet, then his hands, then started to work his way up. "What are you doing! You heard Mackenzie! You can't get up." Ladybug said. Cat Noir only grunted. "Yeah, but she also said that you had to make sure I don't get up, so..." Cat Noir started. Ladybug only stared at him, surprised at how in the world he would think that he could put this on her.
"Fine then." Ladybug said, making her way towards her partner. She pushed him back down onto the ground, not hard of course. She was actually surprised at what little effort she had to make to put him back on the ground. She barely used any muscle. "I let you win that one." Cat Noir teased, thinking this was a game. "Oh yeah?" Ladybug asked, smiling. "Yeah.." Cat Noir answered, starting to get back up again. This time Ladybug tried to force him back down, but this was a little harder than last time. He fought back, but not for too long. Soon he was back on the ground.
"Don't do this, you'll use up the energy you have." Ladybug warned. Cat Noir's shoulders went down and he nodded. And that was that until Mackenzie got back. She set the stuff she had bought on the ground and took the cloth off Ladybug's head. It looked fine, and it would completely heal in a couple of days. She slowly took Cat Noir's bandages off and frowned. "You moved." She said out flatly. "How do you know?" Cat Noir asked, truly curious.
"My mother's a nurse." Mackenzie answered, taking out more sterile gauze she had bought. "Oh." Cat Noir said to himself. "I used to help her out around her office and I picked up a few tips and tricks." She finished. "Wow, that's lucky." Cat Noir said, directing his gaze towards Ladybug and Ladybug just smiled.
"Ow." Cat Noir breathed. "Sorry." Mackenzie hissed. Ladybug just sat quietly and watched as Cat Noir tried to scoot away and Mackenzie just followed him. For some reason it was funny. It was like watching a kid try to get out of doing homework. Ladybug found herself trying to keep in another laugh, once again because of Cat Noir. He was trying to get away from Mackenzie, but kept failing. He moaned again and stopped moving. 'He must have used all his energy trying to move.' Ladybug thought.
"So when can I move again?" Cat Noir asked. "Not for a couple of days." Mackenzie answered almost immediately. Cat Noir sighed and waited until Mackenzie was done wrapping his chest again. "Ya know, I kind of miss fighting." Cat Noir said. "Why?" Ladybug asked in confusion. "The rush of being constantly in danger..." Cat Noir said. Ladybug was in awe. Who would want to be in danger?
"But what I really want is to fight Hawk Moth-" Cat Noir started. Then he finished with, "-He will pay for what he did to my brother."
