Erika heard a ringing in her ears, the intensity of the pitch causing Erika to bend down, her hand supporting her. Jason dropped to the floor, panting as he watched the woman on the floor try closing her ears but the ringing wouldn't stop. All the eyes in the room when to Charles as he finally broke the intense gaze from Erika as he exhaled sharply.
Dick and Jason went to Bruce, talking amongst themselves as Erika stood up, stumbling as she did but she made her way to the door - not letting Charles get in her way. Even though all she had on was a hijab and a hospital gown with long sleeves, she still was going out on the streets - finishing what she actually came here for.
Erika is the golden poster boy for Gotham after Bruce Wayne's Gala - but that was only a title. Nobody in Gotham even remotely liked mutants and they still don't. And Erika was here to change that. She didn't care about her reputation in Gotham - she just wanted to make a change in this godforsaken city.
"Erika -"
"Spare me the lecture, Charles. I am a fully grown woman and my actions are my own. I don't need a lecture every time I do something that you do not like. So, leave me alone." Erika gave Charles one last glare before going back into her room to grab her clothes. Charles just stood outside Bruce's door - not moving as he watched Erika leave.
The door behind Charles opened, revealing a very angry Jason. He clenched his jaw as he spoke, "I'm going to kill her!"
Erika exited the room, her eyes meeting Jason's - their expressions saying more than they could. Jason had flames surrounding him - anger rolled off his body as Erika matched the same level of intensity - a fire in her eyes that screamed for release. And she was going to release the tornado within her.
"Jason, please -"
Jason ignored Charles as he charged towards Erika. He held his fists out as he punched Erika on the stomach, kicking her legs out from under her as Erika quickly grabbed a metal stick with an IV attached to it and hit Jason with it. Jason stumbled backwards, giving Erika time to stand back up but this action also drew a crowd.
Erika cared little about the rest of the people in here. She just needed to leave, and this man was blocking her path. "Jason, I will ask you once to retreat back to your father and brother before I sloppy dismantle you, limb from limb and leave you out for the people to see. So please, get out of my way."
Jason snickered as Erika rose an eyebrow, seeing as he wanted to finish this fight. Jason met Erika's eyes, saying "my real father always told me, if you gonna start a fight, you sure as hell better end it."
Erika smirked as put her hand out, spending Jason across the hallway, and out of her way. Erika had a smug expression as she heard him groan in pain. She made her way out the hospital, not wanting to be here any long but that dream was cut short when she felt something hit her head. Before she was knocked out, she saw black boots and jeans - but nothing that would be helpful to distinguish who this man was. Until it he kneeled down to her eye level and said, "lights out."
