Supergirl has posed:
After the chaos had abaited at the park some, the Titans had brought Kara back to the tower's Infirmary where the kryptonite needle injected into her neck had been discovered and removed. Unfortunately, they were as yet unable to determine what exactly had been injected into her body.

However, once the needle was removed, she at least looked a bit better, if still weak and disoriented from the remnants of the needle. For her own good, she was urged to remain in the infirmary for a few days just so they could monitor her.

For now, she is still sleeping off the effects of that nasty needle.

Captain Boomerang has posed:
Owen had a few bruisers, took some pain killers, but he was fine. Kara on the other hand had been injected with some stuff. He had sat and watched with her, left for bathroom breaks, to grab a bite to eat, but he brought it back with him, to eat in the infirmary. They were dating, and had been for a few weeks at this stage, so he wanted to be there with her, but he was also mindful that he didn't want to impose. So he had decided to take a half measure. He was in the infirmary, but not sitting right beside her. Instead, he was just making himself at home. It was good that it was the Titans' infirmary and not a hospital with visiting hours. Right now, he was standing next to a table, a plate of French fries on it, a ketchup, a barbecue, and a mayonnaise dip, as well as some chicken fingers. He was idly eating, still hungry after his running earlier, and playing with his phone as he waited and hoped for her to wake up. Every five minutes or so he'd walk back to check on her, and then repeat.

Supergirl has posed:
A few hours had passed and at least she seemed stable. The room had a nice big window that would normally let in ample sunlight. Unfortunately it's the middle of the night by now, and so a little lamp will have to do. Much less effective but better than nothing. Definitely not a substitute for proper sunlight.

Still, that food smells good and she never did get to even start her hot dog. Super she may be, but Kara still enjoys the taste of food, even if she can potentially go a long time without having to eat. But right now, in her weakenned state, she's feeling pretty hungry.

Her nose wrinkles and her eyes flutter open, yawning and stretching. "Hmmm...Owen..?"

Captain Boomerang has posed:
With the movement, Owen rushed over to check on her, so much that he had a chicken finger in his hand as he made his way. It had been dipped into barbecue sauce. "Kara, are you all right?" He asked, concern in his voice as he looked over at her. The chicken smelled good and was close to her face, not in her face, but he was standing there, it was between his fingers. "How do you feel, babe? Do you want some water, feel strong enough for..." he looked at the clock on the wall, "dinner? breakfast? dinfast?"

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers frowns a bit, peering around. "Hmm yeah, just a bit sleepy.." she blinks, "Wait, how long have I been out? What exactly..Happened?"

The food is noted rather hungrily, but it would be just rude to steal it from him. Still she smiles at the thought, and at something else. "How long have you been watching over me, Owen?"

Captain Boomerang has posed:
"Yeah, you should get your rest. Been out two hours, forty-four minutes." He knew that because he had been watching her ever since they got her back to the Titans Tower. "The medics took out a needle, said it had something to do with kryptonite, and they still don't know what you got injected with, but they're working on it. Took a few blood samples, lots of readings, I just sort of stood out of the way, letting them do what they needed to do." He extended the chicken finger, "want this? I got some more over on the table. Or I can get you whatever you like from the kitchen?" And at her question, he blushed sheepishly, "two hours, forty-five minutes now."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers blinks slowly at the realization, shaking her head. "Kryptonite. That armoured figure..Dammit. But why attack me and not kill ms? Maybe whatever it was, was unsuccessful?"

She sighs laying back down. She may be awake but is still a bit out of it. "I guess I'll just have to wait, huh? I really hate waiting. Thanks for waiting with me."

She smirks at the chicken finger. "Well..I never did get to finish my hot dog..And you know how they say someone else's food always tastes better than your own?"

She grins impishly. "Thanks for staying with me, Owen, that's real sweet of you."

Captain Boomerang has posed:
Owen would give her the chicken finger, and then head back to the table where he had his food, bringing it back with a chair, so he could feed her the chicken fingers and French fries while sitting with her. "I don't know. I still don't know who he is. I'm just glad that you're alive." He reached for her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"You're getting the best treatment. I'm here with you, the doctors are working hard to figure this out. They even contacted Dr. Hamilton. And, you can have all the food off my plate you want. I just want you to get well. That's all that matters." He ate a chip, then offered her one.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers smiles and nods, grasping his hand tightly. "Thanks! I'm sure it's nothing. I have a pretty strong immune system, so whatever he tried to infect me with, I'm sure I'll fight it off either way. I'm not really looking forward to spending the next couple days in here though. I mean really, I'm just a bit tired is all, but other than that, I feel fine!"

She may be getting ahead of herself, maybe a bit too optimistic and underestimating the mysterious armoured guy.."Hm, I guess I'm lucky you pulled it out when you did..I'm sure I'll be out of here in an hour tops. I'd better be, I just cant stand to be laying about here all day, y'know?"

But Kara never really could say no to food. She's already hungrily scarfing down the food. "Hmmm, this is good stuff, did you make it? I'm surprised they even let food into the infirmary!" but of course she's sure he'd find a way even if they didnt.

As a chip is offered, Kara takes it with a smile. "Thanks! I guess fighting really makes me hungry, getting hit by Kryptonite makes me even hungrier." she chuckles again, apparently taking this all in stride.

Captain Boomerang has posed:
"I know you will," he said, squeezing her hand back and encouraging her. "Oh, we could make it homey, I could put up a curtain, bring you a TV, video game console, books, magazines, laptop, whatever you want. I'll bring a change of clothes? What do you need? Just let me know."

"We gotta follow the doctors on this, Kara. If they say you need to stay and rest, you have to stay and rest. We don't know what was in that injection. Until we do, better safe than sorry, right?" He kept helping her with the foot, letting her have as much as she wanted. "Yeah, it's a fully stocked kitchen. Though I don't think they use the spices. There was dust on them!"

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers smirks, shaking her head. "I'm sure they'll want me to stay in this goofy hospital gown, until I leave. I could do with a good book or game though. I'd really appreciate that. Hey, maybe we can watch some movies together. I always liked Twilight. I mean, sparkly vampires are so much nicer.." Hey, she's a hapless romantic, one of those silly sugar and spice girls, all sunshiny sparkly vampire lover types.

"I suppose so..." Kara sighs, "Just, what if they *dont* find anything? Will they just keep me here indefinitely?"

Captain Boomerang has posed:
Owen looked her over, in that goofy hospital gown. "I imagine we can get you some new type of gown." He was happy that she was up and about, but then she went on about Twilight. "uh..." he hesitated, "okay, you want Twilight, we'll watch Twilight. I've never actually seen them. So, maybe, um, yeah," he must love her. He was going to watch that with her. "I... am no scientist, but I imagine at a certain point they'll say you're free to go home, sleep in your own bed, just watch it, and see how it goes. But they will find out. I know they will. And if they don't, we'll get a second opinion."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers grins, "Yeah, like, what's with these gowns anyway? Even in a place like the Titans tower, you'd think they'd at least make em so they're not quite so awkward, opening in the back and all. So embarrassing!" she chuckles.

"Ooh, really? You've never seen those movies? I'll bet you'll love 'em, for once, the vampires aren't all evil creatures of the night." Yeah, hopeless romantic. "I'm soo happy, cant wait to watch it with you!" she smiles all the more brightly, knowing he wont be able to get out of it so easily.

"I suppose so, yeah..It's not like i'm used to being in the hospital at all really..It just doesn't happen often. Maybe I just get a little too used to being all invulnerable that I forget sometimes what it's like to feel pain."
