"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

Rhea ended up not actually having any kind of time to check on Foggy, Zoe, and Karen in the hospital. She had gotten down to Foggy's floor before hearing some unsavory sounds coming from above. Primarily the broken glass. She slipped into another room and took her sweats and hoodie off. She put her mask on before popping the window open to check which floor the broken window was.
Once she caught sight of it, she ran for the stairs since she figured it would be faster than waiting for the elevator. Which was most likely out of service if the hospital was on lockdown like she assumed.
She rushed into one of the rooms and moved over to Matt & Claire who were in a pile of glass inside the room. "Hey, hey-"
Claire grabbed hold of Rhea's arms and accepted the help up, "Ugh, fuck, go- Just go."
Rhea checked Claire over again before she moved to Matt, "Hey, what the hell is going on?"
"The ninjas-" Matt groaned as he forced himself off the ground, "They're here. They're taking them."
Rhea didn't even have a chance to ask anything else because Matt just took off. She quickly looked over at Claire, who just waved her hand so Rhea knew that she could go off. She wasn't as fast as Matt was, but she was getting better at keeping up with his pace. She wasn't sure what they were chasing after, but she figured Matt could sense who they were after.
Matt stopped at the edge of the roof, his breathing was heavy and he just suddenly yelled, "Damn it!"
Rhea leaned down on the ledge and groaned, "Fuck... Did they take the people that were drained?"
"Damn it."
"Matt!" Rhea yelled loudly, using her own voice and not her powers, "That's not going to fix the fucking situation. So stop. Let's go back. I'm assuming Claire was hurt in some way, so let's check on her."
"We need to change."
Rhea glanced down at her suit and then at his own, "Fine. Are you cooling down?"
"I'm fine."
"You're not, obviously-" Rhea wiped her face and tugged her mask off, "Come on."

Rhea poked her head into one of the rooms now that she was dressed in her civilian clothes. She gave a small wave to Claire, who was busy wrapping herself up in gauze. Matt stepped in behind Rhea and gently closed the door.
"So... There's this organization. It's members believe in some pretty strange shit." Matt explained, "And they have deep pockets, even deeper connections all over Hell's Kitchen."
Claire set the gauze down on the counter behind her, "Like a cult?"
"It's kinda hard to explain." Matt admitted, he was even explaining this to Rhea since she had missed some of this. "They call themselves the Hand. Nobu's one of them. Those killers who attacked us, I think they work for him."
