The faint hum of the lights over Wraiths head were the only indication to her that the room was lit at all, her senses a warbled mess of sound and shifting fabric beneath her. She blinked several times to try and clear her vison, but it refused to focus, and was bordering on total darkness.
Wraith forced her legs to move, jolting with a wince when she moved them off the edge of the bed and her feet met the floor. Leaning forward, the faint ringing in her ears suddenly became nauseating, and the pain throbbing down her back only worsened it.
Panic began to set in as her memory started catching up to her in pieces, realizing she didn't know where she was. The urgent beeping beside the bed made her jump, turning to look at as she stood, but only seeing blurry darkness swirl past her vision. Wraith felt the room spin, one hand smacking the curtain away from her before grabbing the edge of the bed with a huff.
   'Someone's looking at you' Wraith spun to face the direction she sensed the movement, "Get away from me!!" She snapped.

Ajay froze in the doorway, the doc drone speeding behind her legs with an alarmed whirr. "Take'et easy..! I'm not gonna-" Wraith snapped at her again, "Get back!" Her hands sparked as her fingers closed in to tight fists.
Ajay took a single step back, pausing as Wattson slowed walking to the doorway behind her. "What's going on...?" she asked quietly, looking over Lifeline's shoulder and into the room.
She noticed Wraith's lack of eye contact and wavering gaze. She never seemed to look directly at Ajay, and didn't seem to even know if she was. She couldn't see... It was no wonder she was in a panic. Having awoken so early, her vision hadn't recovered after the electrocution, and neither had her balance judging by her uneasy stance.
Natalie spoke in a quiet tone, "Ajay, I don't think she can't see quite yet.." Ajay nodded, thinking before lowering herself to one knee and slowly guiding the doc drone around to her front. "I'm sendin in the doc drone okay? Just a little guy, think he's just as spooked by you."
Wraith's jaw tensed a bit, incredibly uncertain. She had no idea if she could really trust these people, let alone whatever the drone was that she was talking about. They'd helped her.. but if it was all just to trap her...
Wattson saw her uncertainty, her chest aching with sympathy at the lostness and mistrust in her eyes. She'd been hurt so many times... "It's going to help you, I promise. You haven't had the proper time to rest and recover, so your senses can't keep up until you're 100% again." She paused, "I can stay right next to it. I've got a good throwing arm." she added with a smile, opening and closing her left hand, revealing that it was a well made titanium prosthetic.
Wraith's shoulders shifted when she recognized her voice as if she were adjusting her stance in uncertainty. She seemed to relax her arms a bit again, going silent for a long moment. "..Okay..." she agreed, slowly releasing her fists. Natalie entered the room right behind the drone as it hovered over to the bed, unraveling a flat blue tube from the bottom of it's metal plating.
Once it had been connected to her upper arm, the drone simply hovered idly in place, the flat tube faintly glowing with a blue light at its edges.
Ajay seemed a bit relieved, impressed by Wattson's ability to earn her trust in the slightest and ease her fear. "I'll be back inna bit,- And dont go throwin doc!" She added suddenly, to which Natalie couldn't help but laugh. "Oui, no throwing." She put a hand on the drone's head with a small pat, and it whirred in reply.
Lifeline gave a thumbs up before disappearing from the doorway and hurrying back down the hall she'd come from. "No promises..." Wraith muttered as the drone retracted the tube, it's one side beeping quietly for a moment as it readied the next one. She rubbed her wrist, a tingling feeling all that was left behind from the device as Wattson spoke.
    "Just things like electrolytes, Vitamin E, and other boosters to help you bounce back and heal faster." She explained, seeming rather interested in the drone's ability as it was.
   "Thanks.." Wraith replied, to which Wattson gave a thumbs up. There was a brief moment of silence before the blonde suddenly piped up again, "Whoops... Well, you can't see it. But this is a thumbs up." At this she almost couldn't help but smirk at her bubbly and upbeat personality.
   It had been... she couldn't remember how long it had been since she'd met someone as kind as her. "I'm Natalie Paquette by the way. Even though we were almost shot at, it's nice meeting you."
