Aw geeze. Was this one of those Men in Black, the dangerous ones that hurt Aelita? It couldn't be XANA, they'd just foiled his last attack.
Ulrich peered out from under the manhole cover to find a pair of shiny shoes and slacks. Well, he couldn't stay here forever and there wasn't another easy route to the Hermitage.
Ulrich stepped away from the manhole cover he'd just climbed out of, carefully moving it back into place. Nothing to see here. A middle schooler climbing out of a sewer in the middle of the park. Not the stuff of heroics. Or secrecy. But he stood straight, chin raised. Tensed for a fight he was sure he'd win. Well, maybe. Probably?
"Uh. My uncle does sewer maintenance, I was just helping him out?" He shrugged with a sheepish grin. Really hoped this guy wasn't with Project Carthage.
