Sleep and unconscious are two different things. And only those who have been knocked out fairly often can tell the difference upon waking up. Dani was one of those individuals. The throbbing in her head came in time to a high pitch beeping, which she assumed to be a heart monitor.
Keeping her eyes closed and her breathing slow so as not to alert anyone she was awake. She wondered which mad scientist has kidnapped her this time. It wasn't the fruit loop, he didn't exist in this demention.
Calming her nerves she extended her senses to figure out what was going on around her. She heard a soft clacking in the background of someone working on a laptop. Cracking an eyelid slightly she glanced down to see a redhead woman quietly working in an uncomfortable hospital chair.
Dani's breath hitched slightly as a door opened. "How is she doing miss Pots?" asked the male nurse entering the room.
"Still sleeping soundly." she replied "Are you sure she's not in a coma?"
"I don't think so. But you'd have to ask the doctor to be sure."
"I still don't understand how her temperature remains so low even with all the heating blankets she has, she's almost hypothermic. And her heart rate has sped up but it's still so low. What did you say Iron man hit her with."
"A simple repulser blast. She was caught in the cross fire between him and A.I.M. so I don't know if she was hit with one of their weapons."
Iron man she knew was a hero so she figured it would be safe to "wake up" in front of these people instead of fazing out of the room.
Groaning Dani started to sit up only to have both the nurse and miss Pots rush her to hold her down.
"You've been hurt don't move yet." started the nurse.
"How are you feeling honey?" began Miss Pots.
"Bathroom." was all Dani said.
After much fuss and massive throbbing pain from her head Dani finally sat down to relieve herself, only to have a vague flashback of Danny as a young boy being sick in the middle of the night sit down to pee only to pass out and then wake up in his own mess by his mother who drew a bath and stayed there crouched in his mess as she kept him from slipping in the tub until he was clean.
Shuffling over to the mirror she saw two massive black eyes peeking out from under of the head bandages wrapped around her head.
The pain was enough that she decided to cheat to heal it. A trick she picked up after a run in with a gang during the past year. They had broken her leg and after she had used an ecto blast to scatter them they ran off yelling something about muttie. She had gone ghost and flown off to a nearby hospital. Unknown to her at sometime during the flight her legs has formed the spectral ghost tail and when she landed her leg was fine.
Figuring she healed three times as fast in human form, ten times in ghost and instantly if she went mist-like the ability to spread her body out around projectiles instead of fazing through them.
Using abilities as a human was always harder than as a ghost, but with the massive gaps above and below this particular bathroom door the flash of light would be quite visible.
Concentrating through the pain she started trying to distort her head into mist.
Once the pain subsided she looked at herself in the mirror the black eyes were severely reduced to the simple dark bags received through hard living.
"Where is my stuff?" was the first thing out of her mouth as she stepped out of the restroom.
"Being thrown away." started the nurse.
"Thrown away! That's all I had in the world and YOU threw it away!"
"Your clothes will be replaced don't worry."
"I don't care about my clothes, I want the thermos it's the only thing I have left from my family!"
"Crap" Dani thought to herself just show them what is the most important thing to you in this world.
