Aira spent the rest of the day in the hospital protesting that she was fine and didn't need to stay there. And when she took a break from protesting, she was saying that they needed to go save the world from Imhotep before he finds the Scrolls of Thebes.
We really should..
Aira! We know for the 100th time! We know that Imhotep wants to take over the world! Bobby said, sounding exasperated, But there is nothing we can do right now!
Aira laughed, That wasn't what I was going to say you goofball! I was going to say that we should call the Professor.
I'll call Chuck for you. Logan said, and left the room.
Why does Logan call Charles Evy asked the three mutants.
Aira shrugged and sighed, Jamie looked bewildered, and Bobby replied, I dunno...
Well, you lot are very perceptive! Jonathan said with a sarcastic tone.
Aira glared at him, and Bobby edged over toward Jonathan and said, I'd be careful! You better not cross her right now!
Aira got up out of the bed and began to make her way towards the door of the ward.
Where are you going now? Jonathan asked suspiciously and Aira rolled her eyes.
The bathroom! Is that illegal now, too?
Everyone seemed to bet taken back a bit by her temper, then Aira sighed, I'm sorry..It's just been...a long day. And with that she left the ward.

Meanwhile in Greece........
Help! I can't get down! Roberto was stuck up in a tree.
Aw, go bark up a tree Roberto! Rahne said lightly as she read a sign about the park they were in.
Isn't that what you are supposed to do Rahne?
Seconds later..
Help we are stuck in a tree with a vicious dog barking at us! Kurt and Roberto yelled.

Meanwhile in Japan....
No! No! Eigo wo hanashi-masu-ka ( do you speak English?)? Scott asked the man for the hundredth time.
Nan-sei desu-ka? (How old am I?) The confused man replied.
Scott exasperatedly whined. Ray came over.
Can I try?
Be my guest... Scott sighed and went over to sit by Amara.
Yo, my homie dude? Do you speak English, Man? And if you do, dude, could you tell us which way to Tokyo Tower? He said while making hand quotes.
That was it? Man, why didn't you say so? The man said in perfect English while Scott and Amara stared.

Aira came back into the room 10 minutes later, with tears streaming down her face and an annoyed Logan.
What's wrong? Evy asked, alarmed at the upset girl.
She was trying to escape and I caught her. Logan explained.
Really? Is that why you're crying, Aira? Jamie said to Aira, as if he didn't believe it. The Aira he knew didn't cry over stuff like that.
No...sniffle...I lost a bid on ebay.. Aira blew her nose into a tissue, but couldn't help laughing at the group's surprised face, Ha ha! We got you soooo good! You should see yourselves!
Logan grunted and sat down into one of the chairs as everyone laughed at the joke.
Sprite here wanted to lighten the mood.
Aira giggled and grabbed her street clothes from the side of the bed, and went to get changed. She came back minutes later wearing black cargo pants, a blue t-shirt, and a baseball cap that she had tucked her hair up into.
Lets go! She said, and began to head for the door, but Logan grabbed her arm and shook his head.
Sorry sprite, but you gotta stay here until you recover from that wallop!
But...but...I'm fine! Aira protested.
No saving the world until tomorrow. Prof's orders.
Aira sighed and flopped back onto her hospital bed. Logan she could argue with, but not the Professor.
Jamie and Evy will stay here with you. Logan said and marched out the door. Bobby followed him, but turned around.
Now Aira, be a good little girl! Aira stuck out her tongue at him and yelled back.
He who laughs, laughs last, Drake! and with that she turned to her two remaining friends, So! Who wants to play Parcheesi?
