Guppy is in the infirmary office, on one of the computers, which is currently attempting to install 1170 new updates. He's not entirely sure how.

[ooc: Infirmary post for Rikki]

Rikki peeks her head through the door, kinda relieved to see Dr. Sandhu there. She'd just as soon see someone she'd actually met before.

She's still wearing her uniform - hadn't bothered changing out - which is kinda messed up right now. Not that she looks like a prize, either. Chris got a couple good shots in there, and her face is already starting to bruise. "Dr. Sandhu?"

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy looks around.

"Hey Rikki, you okay?"

He gets up and comes over. "That looks sore."

[girlwithout]

She has enough self-consciousness to look embarrassed. "Yeah, um. I kinda got knocked out for a little while."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy gets her a chair.

"Happens." he says gently. "What happened? How long were you out for, do you know?"

[girlwithout]

She sits down gratefully. It's not like she doesn't know how to take a punch, but some punches are more equal than others. "I dunno. Ten minutes, maybe?"

[guppy_sandhu]

Grimace. "What were you hit with? Ten minutes is quite a while. How are you feeling now?"

He gets a pen torch to shine in her eyes, and sets up some monitoring to check her pulse and blood pressure.

[girlwithout]

"Uh, a fist? And the ground, mostly."

Ugh, the pen light. Even when it doesn't make her head hurt worse to have someone shining it in her eyes, it's super-annoying.

"And I feel... I dunno. My head hurts, and I feel kinda gross, but I think I remember everything I'm supposed to. Do you do the 'what's the date?' thing here? Cause how would you know the answer was correct?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Mm nah, we don't do that one." Guppy says. "Any vomiting? Double vision? And funny feeling in your arms or legs?"

[girlwithout]

"Maybe a little bit of double-vision when I woke up?"

She does feel kinda nauseous, but to be fair, she's not too sure how much of that is from her head and how much of it is just her stomach still tying itself in knots after she panicked in the middle of a fight.

"My arms and legs are laughter-free."

Sam had heard there was an infirmary here and so when his headache started all over again, he decided to come in and see about some sort of pain relief. One does not mix pain relieves and concussions without speaking with a medical professional.

And then he saw that kid Rikki set up in a bed.

"You know, I think I've had enough of visiting hospital beds." Sam quips by way of hello. He's calm enough but there are lines of exhaustion and worry about his eyes and several cuts and scraps (that have been seen to) on his face. He's also holding two togo coffee cups. "You okay?"

[girlwithout]

"Hey."

Despite being the one with the hospital bed, the look Rikki gives him is a touch concerned. Cause he doesn't look all that great, either. "I'm okay, just doing an overnight for my head. What happened to you?"

As for her, well. Her face is sporting some bruises that speak well of the power behind whoever gave them to her, but she looks mostly okay aside from that.

(Also close up, it is possible to notice that her pajama bottoms have tiny Captain America shields on them, a fact that Rikki herself hasn't really noticed yet.)

[notapilot]

"Well, that simple mission blow up to a big one. Things got pretty messy but we came out of it, mostly okay."

"I'd love to say 'You should see the other guy' but I'm afraid he gave more to me than I gave to him."

[girlwithout]

Wryly: "Stuff always gets more complicated."

And she glances towards the bed next to her. "I'm willing to share the infirmary with you if you need it."

[notapilot]

Sam looks over and instead grabs a chair after setting the coffee down on a table.

"I'm okay. Already been seen and treated. I just had a headache that came back and I know better than to take pain meds when you have a concussion without talking to a medical professional."

"You want a coffee?" It'll be cold by the time they're done talking and he can always get more.

[girlwithout]

She makes vaguely grabby hands at the cup. "Yes, please. We can be concussion buddies."

Mmm, sweet caffeine. She loves it so. "So who got hurt?"

[notapilot]

Sam's eyes go distant for a moment before coming back.

"A lot of people. Are you familiar with SHIELD or HYDRA? They exist in your world?"

[girlwithout]

"Yeah. Both of them."

Charles gets the note and enters the infirmary quietly as he looks for Rikki, if she's resting, he doesn't want to disturb her.

[girlwithout]

Rikki's bed is the only one occupied at the moment. She's only half-asleep when he comes by, so she's aware enough to sit up a little. "Hey."

[balancingminds]

He comes over and sits beside her bed, "What happened?"

[girlwithout]

"I, uh."

Before she can even talk, her eyes start to well up and god, she thought she was done with this already. "I screwed up."

[balancingminds]

Charles moves closer and offers his arms in a hug, "We all do that."

[girlwithout]

"But I really..." She moves in, unable to resist any comfort he's offering. "I really screwed up."

[balancingminds]

When she comes closer, he holds her tight, stroking her back, "Shh, take your time. I'm not leaving, Rikki."

[girlwithout]

"I froze. I froze in the middle of a fight because I saw someone trying to shoot Steve, and I just thought - " She swallows and forces the words out past what threatens to be a sob. "I thought, he could die. I could lose him again and he wouldn't come back this time, and I couldn't, I should have helped him but I couldn't move."
