AN: Back with another update! Hope you enjoy!
This story follows the French episode timeline, so LB and Cat have only fought Stoneheart, Stormy Weather, The Bubbler, and now The Pharaoh.
Also, the reason that there was only a television guide and not a guide for anything in the kitchen is that the energy put in fully stocked kitchens where it held the gods. So, they new how to work it from prior experience.
Please read and review!

It had been a few days since their arrival, and so far the immortals have learned little about where they were placed. Ravana had figured out how to use the television a few hours after reading the note, which allowed them to view the news. Since they'd just arrived to Paris (as they had learned the name of their new location from watching the news), they had agreed to stay hidden for a week or so to get comfortable.
Although, some have been getting rather restless as of late. "Oh, come now Ravana. You know I'm one of the most mobile immortals on the battlefield!" Serqet said, leaning arms crossed against the counter as Ravana looked into the fridge. "I could just go scout out the city and come back before anyone even noticed me!"
"No means no Serqet," he said, not looking at the woman as he pulled out a water bottle. "We need to make sure that no one has noticed the fact that this warehouse is now occupied."
"How many times have I gotten past someone before they've noticed me?" Serqet fired back.
"The answer is no, and this conversation is over." Ravana turned and looked down at the woman. "Now, go annoy Chang'e or Medusa," he said before brushing past Serqet to speak with Fafnir.
The former goddess glared at Ravana's back for a second before smirking slyly. 'Alright Ravana, challenge accepted,' she thought. Serqet noticed that Ravana was distracted by Fafnir, so she turned and snuck out the door, closing it without a sound. 'Like I said, how many times have I sneaked past someone before?' she thought with a chuckle as she made her way toward the inner city of Paris.
Serqet was in awe as she walked down the sidewalk. 'I must say, mortals never cease to amaze me,' she thought, taking in the shops and buildings. She had been walking for about an hour by now, and was sure that the others had noticed her absence. 'Well, I'll deal with that when I get to it.'
She came to stop by a corner. 'And I have to say, these new horseless carriages are very impressive,' Serqet thought as she saw a few cars go by. As she looked around, she noticed a park down the street. 'Might as well go see if anything interesting is going on' she shrugged faintly as she made her way down the street.
"How quaint," she muttered, reaching the park. She scanned the park, noticing a fountain in the middle and a large tent-like structure with what appeared to be odd horse statues attached to poles in it.
"Excuse me, miss?" a voice called over to her. Serqet turned to see a tall man with dark reddish-brown hair and a soul patch approaching her.
"Me?" she asked, gesturing toward herself.
"Yes! Look, we need an extra for the last few photos of our photo shoot. Would you mind assisting us?" the man asked, holding up his camera.
Serqet rubbed her chin in thought for a second before shrugging. "Sure, why not. I've never gotten to pose with a model before," she said.
The man's face gained a grin as he motioned Serqet to follow him. "Wonderful! Follow me please!"
Serqet followed him over to a bench where a large man who bore a similar appearance to that of a gorilla stood holding a large white circle made of fabric. On the bench sat a blond-haired boy about her age, wearing a white overshirt with rolled up sleeves. Underneath the overshirt was a black shirt with five horizontal stripes across the chest.
"Now, go sit next to Monsieur Adrien. Monsieur Adrien, put your arm around her shoulder," he said, pointing to the bench. Serqet sat down as the boy- Adrien, the man called him- put his arm around her.
"Perfect!" the man said, taking multiple pictures of the pair before he stopped and put down his camera. "Amazing job as always M. Adrien. I'll send your father the pictures," he said as he began to pack up his equipment. "You're free to go."
Adrien stood up and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Sorry about him," he said, gesturing with his thumb over to the photographer. "He can be a bit… pushy. I'm Adrien." he continued as he held his hand out for a handshake.
"It's quite alright darling, I'm used to some attention," Serqet replied, taking Adrien's handshake. "I'm..." she paused for a second as she tried coming up with a name that mortals would use. "Serena. I'm Serena."
"I haven't seen you around the city before." Adrien said after the handshake. "Did you just move here?"
'Better be sure to call myself Serena from now on.' Serena thought before answering. "Yes, my friends and I just moved here from Greece."
"Greece?" Adrien asked. "Could have fooled me. Your accent makes you sound like you moved here from England."
"Well, that would be because I was born there." she said. "My parents moved to Greece and put me in a boarding school, where I met my friends. Recently, we managed to convince our parents to let us go to an actual school. Why they didn't put us in a school in Greece, I have no idea."
"I know how you feel, kind of," Adrien replied. "I've been homeschooled for all of my life, but recently my dad allowed me to go to public school. So, which school are you going to?"
'Shit.' Serena thought. "Well, that is the thing. Our parents didn't really think this through, as per usual. They didn't get the proper forms for us to enroll anywhere."
Adrien blinked in surprise before he smiled. "Oh, that is no problem. I know someone who'd probably be able to get me the forms for you! So, forms for you and how many other people?"
"Oh, that is so nice of you to go through the trouble!" Serena smiled back. "Thank you so much! I'll need five, myself included."
"It's no trouble at all," Adrien said before snapping his fingers as he thought of something. "Oh! Have you explored Paris at all?"
Serena shook her head no. "Unfortunately, our parents haven't let us out to explore the city yet. They said it was to make sure our house is good to go," she said before winking. "I've always been able to get past them quite easily."
"Then how about some friends and I show you around?" Adrien offered. "For once in my life I have nothing scheduled for tomorrow, so I'll be able to give you the forms then and you'd get to meet some of your future classmates."
"That sounds amazing!" Serena said. "Thank you for all you're doing." She then noticed the gorilla like man walk over and nod his head over to a nearby limousine.
"It's no big deal." Adrien said, before seeing the gorilla. "Well, looks like it's time for me to go. Meet us at the Eiffel Tower at 13:00 tomorrow. Good bye!" He waved as he left.
"Thanks again!" she called out as she began to leave as well. 'I should be getting back to the base. No telling how mad Ravana is at this point.'
"What were you thinking?" Ravana said in barely restrained anger. Like Serqet had predicted, Ravana had noticed her disappearance and was fuming. "What if someone had seen you leave?" Chang'e looked up from brushing Jade's fur as the two argued.
"They didn't!" Serqet said. "And you should be thanking me! I got us a tour of the city!"
"Oh?" Medusa said, tuning into the conversation from her bed, a book in hand. "A tour of the city?"
Serqet nodded, smiling smugly. "Yep! I met this boy, his name is Adrien, and he said that he could take us all out to meet his friends and show us around Paris! He said to meet him at the Eiffel Tower at 13:00 tomorrow! Plus he is getting us some school forms!"
"School?" Fafnir asked, getting up from watching television on the couch. "What do you mean school?"
Serqet's smug smile turned sheepish. "Well, he asked me if I went to a school around here and I said that our 'parents' messed up and forgot to enroll us." she said. "I figured it would be suspicious if I said I didn't go to school at all."
Ravana let out a grunt of discontent. "Great. So we've gotten stuck with going to mortal school." he pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
"Although, we'll need new names." Serqet said. "Ours aren't exactly common."
Ravana sighed deeply as he looked at Serqet. "Very well. I see no way for us to get out of this." Serqet's grin began to turn smug again. "BUT! You'll be the one to figure out our names. Since you're the one who got us into this mess."
Serqet let out a sigh. "Alright, I guess I deserved that." she said before rubbing her chin in thought. "Hmmm, well, Medusa can be… Megan." Medusa hmph'd as she went back to reading.
"Fafnir can be… Frank." Fafnir let out a grunt of acknowledgement as he returned to watching television.
"Chang'e can be Caitlyn." Chang'e smiled and nodded in acceptance as she continued to brush Jade.
"Ravana, you can be… Ryan." Ravana raised an eyebrow at that. "Are you sure you want our names to be so similar to our real names?" he questioned.
"I figured that it would be easier to remember if they were close to our actual names." Serqet said. "After all, I chose Serena for mine."
Ravana nodded as he headed over to his dresser and grabbed his pajamas. "Well, we should get to bed then. If we are to meet this Adrien and his friends tomorrow."
Fafnir let out a sigh as he got up from the couch. "Fine." he grunted as he grabbed some pajamas and headed to the bathroom to change.
Medusa closed her book and set it down on her pillow, grabbing some pajamas of her own. "You better hurry in there Fafnir." she called after him. Chang'e giggled as she gathered her own pajamas and waited for the two to be done.
"Excuse me, Serqet." Jade called out. "Why didn't I get a new name?"
"Sorry Jade," Serqet said as she gathered up her pajamas as well. "But I didn't see any rabbits when I was exploring. So I doubt that they're allowed to roam freely without being seen as vermin."
Jade scoffed. "Vermin? Please."
Serqet simply shrugged as she started to think of what will happen tomorrow. 'Oh, tomorrow is going to be amazing!'
