"Bloody hell, there she goes!"

Moby watched the dawning of the realization hit Elise's face. She was hit with shock, then the blood drained from her face and she started going down.

Psymon was closest, so he started towards her with that demon speed he was known for. The bloke did manage to catch her, and it was a bloody odd sight, seeing someone as rough around the edges as Psymon holding this delicate princess-like creature in his arms. Indeed, he did look shocked.

"Well, crap, what the hell do I do with her now?"

"Way to sweep a lady off her feet, Psymon," Allegra blasted by him running for the nurse's station. "Find somewhere to put her down, you jerk!" she called over her shoulder. If he remembered that one on the slopes later that little one was in for it.

"Bring her over here, Psymon."

Zoe, taking charge as usual, had cleared a bench area, and Psymon carried Elise over and lowered her down slowly, as if he was suddenly afraid he might break her. Moby tossed his jacket at Zoe, and she placed it under Elise's head to cushion it.

"Give me something to elevate her legs with!" Zoe called out over her shoulder again. Mac and Kaori folded up their jackets and piled them up under her ankles. By then, though, Allegra had returned with a nurse in tow who immediately ran to Elise. Zoe backed out of the way to give her access.

"What's her name?" the nurse said.

"Elise"

"Elise, can you hear me?" the nurse called as she felt the unconscious woman's neck for a pulse. "Tell me what hurts."

"Mmmrm?" Elise started to roll over onto her side, but the nurse held her back. "Ow, my head."

Elise gasped and sat up suddenly, the nurse's hands unable to keep her down. "What happened? I need to get back to Brodi….he should be in his room by now."

"Mr. Ford is in his room and resting. You, however, need to get checked out. Let's take you to a room and…"

"Whoa whoa whoa….I'm fine. I just…it's been a stressful day. I got a little overtired. Probably a blood sugar thing."

The nurse looked at her quizzically. "Are you diabetic?"

Elise shook her head. "No. Just forget to eat sometimes."

"OK. Well, we're still going to take you to an exam room in the ER and get your vitals and do a finger stick."

Elise looked around at her teammates. Zoe, Moby, and Allegra were all looking at her sternly. Psymon had disappeared, and Mac was comforting Kaori, so at least she didn't have to sit with their judgement.

"Wait…I can refuse treatment, right?"

Zoe took a step forward, but Moby grabbed her shoulder. The nurse looked annoyed, but said, "Of course, although that isn't advisable."

"Your opinion is appreciated. If I feel worse, I'll let you know. But for right now I'm going on the assumption that I'm overtired, and I'm going to go sit with Brodi."

"Bloody HELL woman, are you DAFT? You'd have cracked your head open on the floor is Psymon hadn't moved so quickly. And do you really think Brodi is going to be impressed that you're endangering your health because of him?"

"Moby, shut it and get me some water. I'm FINE."

Moby wandered off muttering something about stupid gits, but returned fairly quickly with a bottled water and a candy bar out of the machines.

"Thanks." She said gratefully as he tossed them at her.

The nurse stood and readied herself to leave, but still looked concerned. "I wish you'd reconsider. It'll just take a few minutes."

Elise was taking a long sip of water, but held her hand up.

"OK, then. Stand up for me. If you can stand on your own and walk a few steps without any help, I can't make you do anything."

Elise stood on her own and walked about 3 feet and back to the nurse, who sighed in defeat.

"OK. Suit yourself. But if you start feeling worse, please let someone know. You won't be doing Mr. Ford any good if you wind up a patient here yourself."

Moby coughed loudly, which earned him a glare from Elise, but he just winked at her.

The nurse left, and all that was left for Elise to do was to stare down Zoe and Allegra.

"Damn it, Elise. Why couldn't you at least let her check you out. You went down like a brick."

"I said I'm FINE, Zoe. Now, don't you and Moby need to get these kids home? I'll keep you updated."

Allegra said nothing, just sulked in the corner. At least, Elise thought, spending some time hanging out with Brodi had taught the girl to hold her tongue. Well, OK, a LITTLE.

Zoe threw her hands in the air in defeat. "OK. Come on Moby, let's get these guys back to the lodge. We can go see Rahzel before heading for dinner."

Moby nodded. He squeezed Elise's shoulder has he walked past, but said nothing. Elise knew he had his own ghosts to deal with as well.

"Oh guys…call me at the hospital, not on the Mcomm. I'm turning it off…don't want it on in case it interferes with any machinery."

Zoe nodded.

Mac walked by with a shoulder punch and a "Take care, lady."

Kaori stopped in front of her with tears in her eyes. "Miss Elise…please take care of yourself."

"I'm fine, Kaori. I promise you. You think I want to get my butt handed to me by Brodi when he gets strong enough to do it?"

That at least got a smile out of her, and she went on, taking Mac's hand as she walked out.
