"This is nothin'!" Dara says as you head back to emergency. "Wait 'till we get back to school!"
"Yeah, not really looking forward to that," Michael says with a sigh.
"Ooo, apples," Dara says, wandering back towards the apple bowl on the counter. Michael grabs her arm and pulls her along.
"Apples later. Talk to the guy first," Michael says, dragging Dara past the bowl, keeping them just out of reach of her. He manages to get one for himself though. "Mmm...." he says as he munches on it. Dara growls.
Inside the emergency room, you find the man without difficulty. He's being looked over by a doctor and is quite happy to see X12 when you come up to his room.
"I thought I was dead!" he says, hopping up despite the doctors protestations. "The last thing I remember was that wall coming down on me, then waking up perfectly fine! I don't know how to thank you, mate! Cheers!" he says, shaking your hand vigorously, totally ignoring the "OH MH GOD DON'T TOUCH ME" rule. However, he is, as he said, completely uninjured.
"Even his liver appears healthy, according to the scans," the doctor says.
"Even better," the man says with a happy smile. "Haven't had a pint in a year!"
"Since yesterday," Dara corrects quietly with a smirk. Michael elbows her in the ribs. The man seems oblivious as he continues to thank X12 and pump his hand up and down until the doctor drags him back to the table to finish being examined.
"Well, he's definitely definite that you definitely saved his life. And whoever it was definitely looks like you," Dara says.
"Definitely," Michael says. Dara elbows him in the ribs.
"And nothing lurking in his noggin neither that shouldn't be there," Dara adds.
"Doesn't really sound like one of Prophet's goons," Michael says.

"No, I don't think that's the case. She didn't melt her clothes off and she's not giving off any electricity. Probably just a side effect of her over-exerting herself. Let's see what I can do," he says, pressing his hands to her body. A soft glow surrounds her and after about a minute, much of the transparency starts to fade. Monica slowly comes to.
Dr. Johnson looks tired from the effort. "That's about all I can do. The rest will just have to fix itself. Lord knows how she got out of recovery where she should have been resting," he says with dry humor.
"Get off me," Monica says, swatting at Dr. Johnson's hands. "What happened? Where's my mother?" she adds, propping herself up on her elbows with an angry expression.

Tara looks from Anithos to you a couple of times, then launches herself at you. An inch from you, she suddenly veers off and slams into the ground face first. Thunder reacted far quicker than you and has her pinned painfully on the ground, no powers needed.
Tara struggles ineffectively, especially when each time she starts to gain ground Thunder shocks her, but she doesn't stop trying. "Get off!" she cries.
"Calm down," Thunder says, refusing to release his hold, kneeling on her wings and back. "This is not the direction you want to go." When his words don't calm her, he calls over, "Michelle, get Empath over here, and see if you can wake up Titan. I'd prefer not to electrocute Tara."

You dash forward towards the troll and shoot a jet of water at the beast.
Attack roll: 22 hit
Damage save (DC24): 18 fails (1S, stunned)
It catches him squarely in the face, and he gurgles out a roar through the water. It swats at the water, dropping Jennifer who bounces onto the ground before you can get there. The male guard is right behind you, and you feel the crackling energy more than you feel the blows he strikes against you.
Attack rolls: 34 (crit), 27
Damage saves (DC28 and DC23): 24 and 20 (2L)
You slam to the ground, quickly trying to pick yourself up before he can hit you again. The smell of your own charred flesh is most disconcerting. Out of the blue, something very large and very pink hops over you and slams into the guard, bearing him to the ground. You roll over to see a large, pink, two headed troll with floppy bunny ears sitting atop an unconscious and rapidly fading guard. A blue line of data runs from the troll to Jennifer.
"Bunny wins!" Jennifer squeals clapping her hands.
Behind you, you hear an ominous thunk and crackle, and see the chamber behind you start to vanish as a wall of electricity slowly begins eating at the chamber. That would probably be the purge...
