[center][h3]Hospital Bonding[/h3][/center]

Sometime later, inside the Jefferson Hospital...

One way or another, the group managed to reach the hospital. It turned out that saying "the magic words" really worked wonder for the battered new heroes. It was essentially a lie, as none of them were affiliated in any way with the League. But they did technically defeat Thunder Cloud, foiled his heist, and effectively took out all of the villain's Storm Troopers as well so who can possibly argue that they didn't rightfully earn the treatments they received in the hospital? If anything, they deserved even more than just free treatments; considering the current situations, it seemed likely that they were the only super heroes left around and they already lost one potential member no thanks to Thunder Cloud.

Well, at least the treatments they received were pretty much the best available indeed, so it's also not like they were unappreciated for their efforts. Broken bones, bruises, internal and external wounds, all treated to the best of what the hospital can afford to give. Of course, some of them suffered damage way worse than some of the others and will take more time to fully recover... But they will recover, the hospital promised them that much. And so there they were, five strangers turned fire-forged allies. They were pretty much treated as VIPs in a way, considering the room they were assigned to was pretty big and comfortable, with further assurances that they just need to call a staff member if they needed anything more.

The skull-faced shadow ghost person wasn't there with them anymore though. No, because in its place was a young 100% normal-human-looking woman wearing simple ribbed grey sweater and long black skirt, sitting on one side of her bed. She was really one of the luckier ones, coming out of the fight with only one or two minor bruises. Definitely no need to wear a hospital gown, and she could've even decided not to stay the night in the hospital if she wanted to. In the end, she decided to stay for two reasons. For one, while she might not be in a bad shape, she's still pretty much exhausted and didn't feel like taking the journey home. The second was her curiosity towards these fellow "heroes" that had fought Thunder Cloud together with her.

As for why she didn't bother staying in her Shadow Form... Well, in Rosaria's mind, there really wasn't much point in maintaining the form anymore. It would possibly make things more awkward for everyone in the room anyway, considering they all definitely needed to talk to each other... Or at least, that was the plan. Rosaria ended up just observing the others in silence for a while. The joke-spouting heroine was still out cold, but the rest were awake. Looking at all of them like this, it really didn't looked like they were super-powered individuals at all. All of them, including Rosaria herself, looked just like ordinary people. It was a funny feeling. Back when there were many of the supers, she were not one of them, and had wondered from time to time what life was like for a super. [color=9966CC][i]Was it like this for them too? Aside from the super powers and all... It doesn't feel any less or more mundane. Heh...[/i][/color]

[color=9966CC][i]Anyways... No point being silent like this I guess.[/i][/color] With that thought in mind, she turned her gaze towards each of the other heroes again. She let out a sigh before then starting to speak. [color=9966CC]"Alright. So... I suppose introductions are in order and all that... I'm Rosaria Voronin..."[/color] Then she paused for a few seconds, wondering what more to say. An idea hit her soon enough. They're all super-powered individuals after all so the best way to add to the introduction would be... [color=9966CC]"And I uhh... Can turn shadowy. With a skull for a face... [b]Somehow.[/b]"[/color]
