Noir was grateful he came at all. She pulled the best all-nighter she could, but eventually she needed to eat real food. She had already run out of Leppa. So, begrudgingly, first thing in the morning, they all went to the cafeteria. She had to feed the rest of the team, too.
There was a surge of pink light coming from Poppy's room, and the sound of an IV pole getting knocked over is what woke her up. "What...the..."
Oh. This definitely wasn't a ceiling she recognized. And why did she feel like she had - Poppy sprung up, eyes darting around wildly. The IV Pole had crashed into the wall, pushed by her wing, the tubing attached to her pulled out at the bag end. Now it was leaking liquid nutrition all over the floor. Poppy went to get up to fix it but paused - ah. Catheter.
Wait, shit. Catheter. IV. And her other wing was stuffed against monitoring equipment. "Oh no."
WAIT. She had wings? That meant...super mode. In a hospital. Suddenly it felt like she couldn't breathe. The numbers on the monitor were starting to increase and she had no way of shutting it up without disconnecting it, but that would make new, more urgent alarms.
It was then she noticed the Chansey in the doorway, holding a clipboard.
And it took off, faster than she figured a Chansey could be, right to the nurse's station.
Well, if they already knew! Then it was okay to hyperventilate now! Aah!
["What do you mean we can't go see her? What security risk?"] Thank Arceus that Alex was here to prevent Noir from doing unspeakable violence.
"We need to wait until Sabrina clears the room." The guard said. Not even a nurse or doctor. Security guard. Noir could only imagine what kerfuffle was going on on the proper floor - she couldn't peek. They had psychic security in addition to mundane things.
But the gist that she gleaned was that Poppy had Mega'd and the staff, not know what the heck they were dealing with, called Sabrina in to take care of it. Until then, Poppy was apparently a risk to herself and others.
Noir was trying very hard to not also end up on that list.
