It was a calm night. No akumatisation, no drama. Just Paris in an unusually tranquility. Ladybug and Chat Noir had already parted ways for the night, leaving Viperion alone on the rooftop. He enjoyed the peaceful quiet, watching the lights that lit up the streets, outshining the stars above.
At about 3 in the morning, Viperion finally decided to retire for the few hours that still qualified as night -or very early morning. That was the plan until he heard a whimper. He had only made it a couple blocks away from his favourite look out spot. In the opening to a darker alley way he heard the sound again. Carefully, Viperion approached the shadow that cowered in the dark. "Fucking bitch just get out of my eye already", a female voice hissed. Sniffing accompanied the curses. "For fuck's sake- why do you have to hurt like a bitch?!" "Pardon me, are you alright?", Viperion inquired, his voice gentle and his body language open and visible as to not appear as a threat. The light from the street in front of the alley way barely illuminated the surroundings. All he could see were little specks of reflected light in glassy eyes as they squinted and blinked restlessly. "If your mean that something being in my eye and it hurting is alright, then yes. Perfectly fine. Now I am sitting here, crying, hoping to wash it out somehow.", the girl hissed sarcastically, her voice wavering while her hands rubbed her eyes almost desperately.
"Perhaps I can help?", Viperion offered as he crouched down to her level. "What do I have to lose but an eye." As much as he didn't want to laugh, he could not help the amused chuckle that escaped him. Viperion got back up, extending his hand in a welcoming gesture. "I will take you somewhere where we can see better." The girl nodded and took his hand. A look in the dark brown pools of her eyes made the hero realize that she had beautiful eyes. Comforting, warm and shining like a thousand stars at that moment. The redness and puffyness only mere details.
Once they reached a bank that rested just under a street light, Viperion asked her to sit and use the flashlight on her phone. She did as she was told, assisting him by lighting up the scene that was her irritated eye. "Can you pinpoint where it hurts?", he asked, studying every blood vessle and speck in her now golden honey iris. Coloured eyes were beautiful, he knew that but brown eyes were like little gold plates in the light and outshone any and all other colours by miles. "Not really. It hurts most when I close my eye completely. I think it is in this area.", the stranger explained, pointing out the half of the eye that pointed to the nose. Viperion nodded. His fingers moved very delecately, the fabric of his suit felt not irritating at all. After a few minuted of fruitless obervation, the hero pulled away a bit, facing her directly. "It must be stuck under your upper eyelid. Do you trust me?" "Don't have much of a choice, do I? Doctors are closed and the emergency room will take ages and I cannot stand this pain much longer." "I take that as a yes." With a final nod of his precious little patient, Viperion pinched her unusually long lashes, lifting up her upper lid. She flinched slightly, biting her bottom lip in discomfort. He really wanted to stop at that moment but he knew that this was his last option. The hero pulled her eyelid down over her lower lashes and let go. The lashes must have caught onto the thing that bothered her because after blinking a couple of times her face lit up. The discomfort was gone. Her eyes felt sore from crying but that was a preferred state if she had to choose between those two. "Thank you so much! Gosh this was quite the ... situation." "Agreed. I am just glad I could help.", Viperion brushed the gratitude off. He was glad he was able to be a hero in more ways than one. "I would like to thank you, Sir-" "Viperion is fine." "How about ice cream? Same time same place?" The offer was tempting. "You do know that I attract dangers-" "And I am certain you already know that I could not care less. As long as you don't attract bitches to my eye it will be fine." She was different from Marinette in a refreshing way. She seemed to value honesty. In an amusing fashion no less. "Alright. Same time, same place. May I know your name before I offer to walk you home?"
The girl took a few steps into the direction where her home must be.
