- It was that infernal beeping noise that brought her to the brink of consciousness and then it was the searing pain that brought her tipping over the edge. Amanda opened her eyes and groaned, blinking against the harsh light of the fluorescent bulbs set into the ceiling. Where was she? This surely couldn't be heaven or any afterlife she'd ever read about and she was in too much pain to have died... Once her eyesight had adjusted to the bright lights, Amanda was able to look around and found herself staring at the cold, sterilized walls of a hospital room. The bed next to hers was empty. Where was Tina? She hadn't... She hadn't bled out and died had she? That had been a pretty severe injury that Lincat had given her... The brunette pushed herself up into a sitting position and twitched the blankets back to look at her leg. It was heavily bandaged, bandaged so much actually that her leg was twice its normal size, and it throbbed with a slow, lancing pain... Lincat had nearly taken her leg off. Had she been in surgery to repair the damage? Or, as much of the damage as the doctor's thought they could repair? What she needed was her sister. They could heal each other, it was part of their wonderful, twinly bond - they healed each other better and faster than they could ever hope to heal anyone else. Why hadn't they put her twin in the same room? Tina must have had to go through surgery to repair the damage to her side as well... Had anyone notified the rest of the team? Did anyone even know that they were in the hospital? That they'd nearly died? She had to find her twin. Amanda heaved herself up as far as she could sit and then flung the blankets off, gingerly shifting her legs so that they hung off the edge of the bed. This was going to hurt. She put her uninjured leg down first, clenching the edge of the bed with her hands and gritting her teeth before putting her other leg down; with no weight on it quite yet, it didn't hurt but she knew it would. Sure enough, the second she attempted to put weight onto it, she collapsed and had to grab on to the edge of the bed to hold herself up. The heart-rate monitor spiked, it's annoying beeping becoming erratic for a moment until her heart steadied itself again.
"I'm going to ******** murder Lincat," she growled, hauling herself up into a standing position and keeping her weight off of her injured leg. How was she supposed to find Tina when she couldn't even walk? ... An idea came to her and she almost smacked herself in the forehead for not thinking of it sooner: she could make herself a set of crutches. Dummy. She sighed and then used all of her energy to form a set of icy crutches out of the water vapor in the air; they would be fine until she could get her hands on an actual pair of wooden or metal ones. She went to walk forward, only to have her left arm jerked backwards - it was attached to the heart-rate monitor and an I.V. Oh hell no. Nothing was going to stop her from figuring out what happened to her twin. Amanda supported herself with the crutch under her left arm - it was quite cold but it helped with the sweat that was beginning to pour down her skin from the effort she was exerting - and set the other crutch against the bed before using her right arm to unhook the heart monitor, causing it to frantically beep before flat-lining, and then she pulled the I.V. out of her arm as well, leaving the needle on the bed and covering the hole it had occupied with a small sheath of water. That done, she grabbed the other crutch, situated it under her arm, and then began to slowly make her way from the room, just in time to meet a bunch of nurses with a crash-cart. They were quite shocked to see her awake and off the bed but obviously felt that she would be better suited back upon it. They all began trying to tell her to go back to bed but Amanda growled, "If you do not let me pass so that I can find my sister, I will drown you from the inside out. Get the hell out of my way." She was obviously in no mood to be kept in place by the nurses and doctors and with the meta scare, they didn't want to test her. Challenger or no, metas couldn't be trusted, they were all dangerous. Regular humans were so gullible. They moved aside for her and Amanda began the slow, arduous process of getting past them to search for Tina. She had to be alive. Had to. She passed other nurses, all of which gave her a wide berth. Perhaps it would have been better to ask the doctors and nurses she'd met at her door if they knew where her twin was... That would have been smart. She wondered if they would tell her know. It hadn't exactly been the smartest thing to threaten to drown them from the inside out; JC really would've frowned upon that. Good thing he wasn't here. It was a big hospital but Tina had to be around here somewhere... Surely someone would've said something by now if she was... No. Amanda refused to think of it. Tina was alive and probably wandering the hospital too.
