Nicki had stayed silent for the most part, not wanting to overwhelm Iris. She stayed back, sending out a nice calming vibe, until she heard something...

""I-I'm sorry to... interupt... You said you were... fighting? A monster? Did he have... four arms? And silver hair?"

Immeidiately Nicki stiffened and started to look around. She knew Kaz's second form when she was hearing about it. How many "monsters" had silver hair and four arms? She quieted, not wanting to tip anything off to anyone around her.

Nicki started after Iris as she ran out of the room but changed her mind. She had been locked up at KP for a long time, she had just gone absolutely crazy...maybe the poor girl needed some time alone.

Nicki sighed and walked out the door, shuffling her feet as she exited.

Emerald nodded groggily at Nikki's question. "Yep he was huuuge. " Emerald groaned before looking up at the celing. She pawed at the celing a bit.

"I see dancing strawberries, they all look like evil squirriel's." Emerald giggled.

Ruby glanced a her older sister, patting her head a bit. "Emmy you know if you close your eyes and go to sleep you will catch them faster."

Emmy let out a small bark before listening to her younger sister. She indeed closed her eyes, falling into a blood loss/anestitic induced sleep.

Michael gave Emerald one last reassuring smile before she fell asleep. Turning to Ruby he said, “Well, it looks like Emerald’s going to be asleep for a while, so how about we got and get her present?”

Having met her he had decided he liked Emerald, and was more than happy to go out into New York and buy her a present. He thoughts strayed to her older sister, the one who had disappeared through the darkness. For some reason he had a bad feeling about her.

Ruby nodded eagerilly. She was looking foward to going outside, being in the fresh air would help calm her down about her sister.

"Yea and Maybe we could get something for Iris, I think she needs some cheering up." Ruby responded

“Sure,” said Michael with a smile, “we’ll get something for Iris as well. Both seem to have had a rough day, but at least they’re both safe now. Come on then, lets go so we can be back before Emerald wakes up.”

He headed towards the infirmary door, out into the wreckage of the mansion. “Gimme a sec to change,” he said and headed up stairs. he quickly changed into a set of clothes that hadn’t been torn up, grabbed his wallet and then set of into New York with Ruby.

Ruby had left momentarily and during her small quest, she ran into quite a familiar face of Emerald's. Ruby walked into the room, steadily dragging Millie behind by the hand. Little Millie stumbled in the room, smiling largely at everyone around, they looked like they all needed hugs.

The small figure let go of Ruby's hand as they passed by some of the mutants, some were leaving. Millie smiled and let out a small, excited squeal before running over to her dearest Mama Emmy. With a swift motion, she jumped onto the bed and threw her arms around the sleeping wolf girl, ignoring the fact that she was lightly glowing. "MAMA EMMY! I got a breath mint! Smell!" She smiled before breathing right in Emerald's face.

Emerald perked up a bit when she heard someone walk in. Before she was tackled by the little girl she had started to wake up. She laughed lightly and draped her arms around little Milie, tail thumping on the bed happily. The wolf girl had recovered a bit from last time and she wasnt hallucinating. She was still a bit groggy though due to her blood loss.

"Hey Firefly your breath smells good. " Emerald smiled, dark blue eyes focussing on her young charge. "Did Auntie Ruby tell you I beat up a scary monster and thats how I got hurt?" Emerald asked tilting her head to the side a bit

She groaned a bit, her bandaged torso showing.

Ruby however took her hat off, allowing her fox ears too twitch. She was ready for anything at this point, and hoped that Bloodfang didnt follow her. Ruby decided to walk around the rooms so he wouldnt have the chance to lie in wait.

Not really knowing what monster Nicki and Emerald were talking about The young cat girl decided to go check up on her friend Iris. She had seen her rush out of the Infirmary moments ago but Nika had been slightly distracted with the arrival of more wonded mutants.

So, Nika set out to the girls dorms.

"Thank you." She smiled, breathing into her own hand so she could smell it too and then smiling when she smelled the minty taste. "Tated good too." With one eyebrow raised, she quickly breathed on her hand and then licked it as if she hoped that her breath would become tasty, but she made an odd face and stuck out her tongue before wiping it on her shirt. "Yulchk!"

"A huge monter? Wat he ugly? Wat hit eyet like black? Ew! Did you win?" She asked, flooding the wolf girl with quite a few facial expressions as she was so excited to speak to her again. "I onte fighted a BIG blanket!" She spread her arms as if it were 'that big' and smiled. "I lot becaute I fell aleep..."

Bloodfang slunk into the infirmary in the form of a bull terrier. He kept to the edge, trying to avoid being noticed, and looked out at all present. It had been easy to track Ruby’s scent to this place. He soon saw what he was looking for. His puppy.

He cast his mind back to the last time, to when he had her at his mercy. How she fought against him, trying to resist. How he’d beaten her, and she was left powerless at his feet. He gave a small shudder of pleasure when he thought that soon she would be in the same position again, then he could finish what he had started, and this time no one would stop him.

Emerald laughed lightly at the little one, tail wagging back and forth. She let out a small groan as she felt some of the stiches in her dig a little more into her back. The wolf girl didnt want little Millie to notice that she was in a bit of pain stil so she merely pet the top of Millie's head.

Em also didnt notice the Bull terrier due to her senses still out of wack from her change.

"Yea I beat him, and a few other bad people. But I had to get away from the battle because I was hurt so bad." Emerald replied with a sad smile.

"I feel so weak by fleeing the battle though." The seventeen year old sighed.

((TIme for Little Millie to say something that is wise beyond her years to make Em feel better. Knowing you it will be still adorable.))

Ali stuck around the infirmary and listened to the discussion about some monster with silver hair and four arms. When the little girl talked about fighting a big blanket and falling asleep Ali couldn't help but smile. It really was an adorable story.

It was an intriguing conversation but her senses were drawn else where. A new heat source had entered the room and it drew the fire starter's eyes to it. It was a dog though she wasn't sure what kind exactly. "You guys allow pets here too?" Ali said as she pointed at the canine.

Emerald's eyes widened a the mention of he other dog. And the thought Ruby had just sent for her clenched it.

Bloodfang.... She thought to herself, unhooking the Iv. She Rubbed her temples lightly as she wobbily picked Millie up and put her closer to the pillow. Em got off the bed, using the bed as support.

"Emerald!" Doc said urgantly. "You shouldnt get up or turn into your wolf form for another few hours or untill e can remove the stiches!"

Emerald shook her head at the Doc. "I am just going for a quick run I will be right back! Millie Mama Emmy has to go...potty, be right back sweetie." Emerald responded and before Doc could grab her the wolfess took off at a staggering pace and just as expected Bloodfang followed after her.

((New post is called Blood and Water its in the Hallway))

Emerald groaned as the Doc bandaged up her wounds and re stiched various areas. Her bandages had to be changed and once again the Iv was hooked in. Emerald noticed they put little Millie right next to her once again causing Em to smile a bit.

"If you hadnt run off like that you wouldnt be in pain in the first place." Doc Scolded patting Emerald on the head.

"What fun would that be?" Emerald retorted.

The wolf girl looked up at Ruby who looked down at her worriedly. "Emmy..."

"I'm fine, I have had worst....cant think of any right now but I have had worst." Emerald responded with a sigh

Michael smiled at Emerald, glad to see her in a bed and getting mended. “Maybe you’ll stay put this time?” he said with a grin, “Or are we gonna have to use restraints?”

He was really glad that Ruby had managed to deal with Bloodfang, as while the man was no threat to him, he was to others, as he had proved in their last fight. He wasn’t sure he could have kept him away from Emerald like Ruby had.
