For the second time in too short a time, Nika finds herself coming out of a painkiller-induced haze, staring up at the white ceiling of a hospital room and the irregular flicker of a fluorescent tube. After a couple moments of groaning memories begin to filter in and she suddenly bolts upright, pulling at her various bandages from the sudden movement and finding herself tangled in tubes and cables. Yanking them off, much to the electronic protest of the attached machines, she slides out of bed. Her leg gives out from under her and she narrowly manages to catch herself on the side of the bed before remembering to put her weight on the non-injured side.
She recognizes the medical center, which is a bit sad in it's own way, but more than that, she notices the person lieing on the other bed in the room, both hands handcuffed to the bed. She recognizes the hair and more than that, the familiar voice she couldn't quite place during the fighting now has a face. One she's seen before at this very school.
"You..." she hisses under her breath.
