Ben had caught sight of Rogue crawling up from the sewer and collapsing in an alley by chance during a patrol. When he swooped down to investigate, she didn’t respond in any way, leaving him little room to do anything but get her to a hospital; it wasn’t like he happened to have any X-Men on speed dial.
Taking only the time necessary to change to civvies before spiriting her to the nearest ER, he stayed with her throughout the entire process, ensuring that none of the medical staff touched her skin directly. He glossed over who either of them were and how he knew that about her, but they were hardly fazed by it once he assured them it wasn’t a contagion.
After recounting the sequence of events to her from where he’d entered it, pacing the room all the while, he asked her a question in return, returning to her side and leaning over her. “How are you feeling?" He knew she was pretty hardy, but she seemed a little disoriented when she first woke up, and he was concerned about a concussion or some other such head trauma.
