[Someone had overdone it these past weeks. Had overdone it and once the adrenaline had faded, once he'd gone back to his suite, showered and laid down to sleep, he'd woken to a spot of trouble.

Muscles that had made up for the lack of spinal integrity were seized up, his entire lumbar region compromised in a combination of agonizing pain at the wound location and worrisome weakness below. Though Charles could navigate himself, to some extent, between bed and bathroom, a fall as a result of weakened legs, leaving to a wicked split on his temple had made up his mind for him.

He needed help.

Getting to the console in his suite had taken a combination of awkward navigation, the inability to even sit in the chair leaving him flat on the floor, though he managed to toggle the device to 'audio'. A couple of breaths, to give his voice some measure of calm before he spoke.]

Perhaps I should have anticipated this situation earlier and asked after this point before now, however I do hope I can be forgiven it slipping my mind.

Does anyone know the location of hospital facilities that may be near the Water Sector? Perhaps transport to such facilities or if there might be a medical expert who could come to my suite?

I fear that I have aggravated a pre-existing condition this past week and it is causing me a touch of inconvenience at the moment. I would be most grateful for some assistance.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Raven, though of course I do wish the circumstances were slightly altered.

[As in, they hadn't been drawn from their home worlds to a world teetering between life, sleep and death.

Well, alright actually the turtle was a rather curious mystery, though the inability to go home of one's own free will was a bit off-putting.]

You get used to strange circumstances eventually. It's pretty much an occupational hazard.

Well, I suppose that depends upon your occupation?

Do you have superheroes in your world?

[ She's never actually had to ask this before, it's strange. ]

Superheroes?

[A curious term but nothing he would use to define mutants, at least not at this stage.]

We have people who have performed heroic feats?

Secret identities, unusual powers, not the usual jeans and t-shirt outfits, that sort of thing? That's the right idea.

[Well, that did sound a bit more familiar, even if Raven had been drinking at the time she gave them all those ridiculous code names.]

Are superheroes common in your world? You speak as if 'occupational hazard' is something to be expected?

[ Some days, drunken code-naming makes more sense than the alternative. ]

Common as in well-known, yes. I wouldn't say there's an abundance of them but there are always new ones establishing themselves. Unfortunately, the same can always be said of supervillains as well.

I see.

[Was the direction his own world was going to move towards? Charles winced slightly at the thought of such.]

And what of more normal citizens? Do they play a role in all of this?

They're just... living their lives. We give them protection.
