"I take it you're all set?" Jun asked, deciding to say hell to the ears. if the doctors were going to freak out, that would be his own problem.

Kate was visibly shaking. "The--the wounds... are gone. But I feel... ooh... horrible...." she managed to say, before falling to her knees, and then (instead of collapsing shortly later) setting herself down onto the ground to drift into unconsciousness.
~
Vincent snorted. "Relax. She's perfectly fine, snacking on bagels. But first--" Vincent was suddenly several feet closer to Travis, leaning towards him, eyes wide, face blank, as he asked, "Tell me what it felt like. To end her existence."

"It felt horrible... she was my friend... but I knew I had to do it to save Natsumi..." Travis said.

Jun scooped Kate up in his arms, bridal style again, before climbing out a window onto the fire escape and jumping up floor by floor onto the roof where he looked around some before making his journey to the hospital via a series of rooftop hopping. some time later, he made his way down onto ground level not far from the hospital and headed on in, hoping the unconscious girl on his back would explain it all as to what the emergency was.

Natsumi looked around the room for her Gear again, but it wasn't in there. She sighed. How long was Vincent planning on keeping her anyways?

Vincent shook his head. "Horrible is a word. An adjective. You must describe it better than that--tell me how it felt, in so many words that I could imagine that I myself performed the agonizing, fatal blow. And you can do it in front of Natsumi, too. Come, she's right up here."
Then Vincent turned and walked back to the stairs. He ascended and walked through the door, to stand squarely in the middle of the room, between Natsumi and the entrance. Obviously, Travis would not be allowed to go to or touch Natsumi until he'd done as Vincent wished.
Well, Kate was unconscious. She didn't do much.

Travis' eyes widened as he followed Vincent.

after some hastling of Jun later, Kate was in the ER while Jun had to sit in the waiting room, deal with numerous stares, and try to keep his tail still until he was in the clear lest he got dragged off for 'emergency surgery' or some such nonsense to remove his feline apendages.

Natsumi looked over to the door and saw Vincent and Travis come in. She was glad to see Travis but then she thought of something. Did Travis really kill Sheo? She wanted to go over to him and ask, but Vincent stood between her and the entrance, where Travis was.

Travis mouthed the words 'take cover' while Vincent's back was still turned to him.

Take cover? Natsumi then realized what Travis was going to do. Bad idea, bad idea! She wanted to tell him, but she couldn't. So she did as he mouthed, and took cover behind the sofa next to her.

((Well I don't see why Vincent would be watching Natsumi instead of Travis while he was in the room, I'll go with it. o_O))
Kate was unconscious, and while the doctors and nurses attempted to figure out what was wrong with her, the only distinct abnormality they found was slightly bluish skin in certain areas. Other than that, she appeared to be as healthy as an ox. Sleeping peacefully, in a white bed that was little more comfortable (if not less comfortable) than the ground.

As soon as Natsumi had taken cover, Travis pulled a grenade from his jacket, pulled the pin, and threw it at Vincent's feet.

The grenade landed right at Vincent's feet, but the mythling had heard the effort expended to throw the grenade before it had even left Travis' hands. He only turned, so that his body was facing Travis, as he looked down with admittedly slow reflexes, all things considered, before the grenade exploded.
When everything was visible again, Vincent could be seen staggering back a few paces, full of shrapnel, but blinking and otherwise alive.
"G-gah," he managed to say, his mouth full of bad-tasting shrapnel. But he was still standing, still whole. So to speak.
Another few steps staggering backward. Vincent was dangerously close to Natsumi, should he suddenly decide that, after this, he wanted to kill her.
"-ACK. Y-you... vermin," Vincent mumbled, still dazed somewhat by the blast. His once-beautiful face was littered with metal, and he was bleeding--yes, bleeding--everywhere....
It would chill a human's heart to see the change--as Travis did then--that Vincent's eyes underwent at the moment, changing from a bright red to a dark, hungry umber. It signified that he was becoming feral and uncontrollable once again.
