So... Skylar tried to prove that she was totally different than the other Skylar by becoming injured, so a powerful male dressed in green could take her to the hospital? THAT sounded pretty familiar. But... at the same time, her ideas didn't really sound wrong! She confused and intrigued Sythius, and he wouldn't let her get away this time! He dragged his feet over to her, processing what she had to say.
He stopped when a giant green door opened up. The lizard glared at it, wary but too confused to even react.

"Ya know, I'm starting to think you really aren't crazy. I think you're a little more on the dull side. If ya don't wanna see King Yemma so much, then don't do shit like this!" Tadeo was pretty vented at this point. Not only did he had to hear a dying friend's "dying" wish, he had to take that dying friend to a hospital, all because that dying friend decided to harm herself for the sake of saving someone. No matter how many times he joked about it, or said it meaning it, suicide wasn't the answer, especially for those people who don't know about coming back to life. The amount of distress you cause people, their sadness and fear and anger, it never makes up in the end, and people end up doing things they don't want to do. If Christel had found out that Tadeo had actually died a year ago, and hadn't thought he went to another planet for work, he could only imagine how she'd react. Finally, Tadeo had opened the gate. It wouldn't take long, anyway, it was practically instantaneous when he wasn't in battle or preoccupied. Unfortunately, Tadeo only knew what the East City hospital looked like, since he'd only ever been there, after his spar with Reku. Turning to the lizard man, Tadeo addressed him. He was aggressive, however, since his friend Skylar decided to pull a stunt like that. "Hey, lizard guy, excuse me for being rude and shit right now, but my friend just got a dumb idea to stab herself. Just follow me through the gate, it'll be all right. I'm heading to a hospital."
Walking through the green light the size of a door, Tadeo entered into a new scenery: there were whiter walls and lights up in the ceiling, and a front desk. The girl at the front desk seemed to recognize Tadeo, mainly from his last visit, which wasn't really that long ago. She stood up, sighing and walking to Tadeo. "Again? Tadeo, I don't care if you're some kinda superhuman 'Sapien' thing, or whatever, everyone has their limits to injuries. If you keep coming he-" Tadeo showed Skylar's wound and body to the girl and got a little more aggravated. "Get me a doctor and a room right now or I'll punch something a little less fragile than a wall this time." "Okay, please don't punch anything. We're still trying to fix the wall from your last visit, so please don't hurt anyone." "That's a good girl."
Skylar would be treated, immediately. However, considering her injuries, she would take a little while to fully heal. Even thought he was recommended to not be in the room, Tadeo would still stay in the room with Skylar, watching over what was going on. He was annoyed and couldn't be told to do anything otherwise, at this point. If the lizard man were to follow Tadeo, the gate would close as soon as he walked through it. Tadeo would have him follow the others to the room Skylar would be treated in. At that point, Tadeo would let the guy do whatever he wanted.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Skylar vaguely heard Tadeo yelling a lot and crunched up her face, she also heard a woman shouting as well. She smelled the sterility and subconsciously growled a lite as in her subdued, anemic head all she could think of was the government lab she woke up in.
"...no... don't take me back..." she muttered incoherently. All the while her major organs had fixed themselves so it was just the bloody hole in her torso that was the issue now. Sky wouldn't know it but the doctors were shocked that she wasn't dead already, and as a byproduct she was rushed into the ER to get stitches. They then bandaged her up and assigned her to a room, a nurse and finally, they a got a blood transfusion going on her to replace all the blood she lost. The doctors just assumed it was a miracle that whatever stabbed Sky missed her internal organs but it was just her healing ability that dealt with that, not any sort of luck in particular. The only luck involved was that Tadeo happened to have teleporting ability or else she might have bled out. The nurse told Tadeo that only close family members and spouses were generally allowed in a severe laceration victim's room but with one glare from him she shut up and left the room.
After a few hours of not bleeding to death, Skylar stirred and in a panicked frenzy and sat up quickly checking for straps tying her down or other unusual circumstances. That made her dizzy. Such flailing did her no good but she was too tired to try and escape anyways so she flopped back down scrunching her eyes closed. The only thing she noted was there was a single window and it showed the city skyline at dusk. How long had she been out? Skylar could sense some powerlevels in the room so she vacantly called out, "Hey, where am I and what time is it?" In a grumbly, disused, and parched voice. "Also, would it be possible for me to get some water...." Obviously, Sky didn't notice the cup of water at her bed side along with antibiotics that she was supposed to take whenever she happened to awaken because her eyes were still closed.
Sythius followed the other two through the strange gate, although he wasn't sure if he should trust this Saiyan. He didn't remember his name, or anything about him really. Sythius was so damn confuzzled that he wasn't sure what was going on anymore! He gave the nurses awkward smiles, though they probably looked like freakish grimaces.
Skylar asked someone for some water, so he handed it to her without thinking. After all, she wasn't a threat anymore!

After Tadeo scared the nurse away, which he didn't even realize happening, the Saiyan started to get impatient. Letting go of the ground, he crossed his legs and arms and started floating, as if there was no gravity. He let his flying take over and literally floated around the room as if he were in a space facility. It looked extremely stupid, but it made the time pass by for Tadeo. Of course, he could've played games on the phone Christel got him a while back, but that didn't occur to him, for some odd reason. Instead, he just floated around the room. Skylar soon woke up, and Tadeo kept floating around the room, relieved that she was finally awake.
The lizard man was there with them, which Tadeo was happy about. Then, that lizard man asked Tadeo a basic question, one which he was very glad to answer. Stopping on the ceiling, literally sitting on the ceiling now, Tadeo looked to the lizard man to answer his question. "Me? Well, I was there originally to run some errands, and since South City had, like, a lotta stuff going on recently, I decided to go there to run them, just in case something happened. A buncha thugs tried to jump me and I ended up sending them all into the hospital, and they may or may not have some broken bones. They got me pretty pissed, and so I decided to dodge like only 1-5% of their attacks, just to scare them. All these bullet holes and tears in my Gi is the result of me not giving a shit. Which, uh, doesn't happen when I'm trying."
Tadeo would lean back while sitting on the ceiling, probably defying the majority of the laws of physics just by being up there. He'd wait to see if Skylar would respond to the lizard man, then Tadeo had a quick question to ask him, before he continued with any more questions he had. "Why were you there, lizard man? Also, what's your name? I'd rather not keep calling you lizard man."
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Skylar blinked her eyes open as she heard the clink of a glass on someone's claws, when she saw who was handing her the water she smiled and gladly took it from him, giving many thanks in the process. Looks like her unplanned spontaneous stunt worked this time! Sky downed the water in massive gulps only stopping to wince as her wounds still weren't fully fixed both internally and externally despite her healing. But she wasn't dead so she rejoiced. When the lizard man asked what THEY were doing in the area Skylar blinked again, then looked around for Tadeo seeing him on the ceiling. She did a closed eyed smile and waved at him up there, "Hoi there buddy!" She said, her voice less raspy from the water but still quiter than usual. Well, compared to when she's not terrified that is.
Tadeo's explanation made Skylar realize that the gunshots she heard while flying earlier WERE being fired at Tadeo. "I knew it! That's how I found you, by the way! After that stunt you pulled at the convention!" She cleared her throat, drank some more water, then answered the lizard for herself.
"For the record sir, let it be known that I was following that dude over there cause he flew off before I could identify him for myself. But I'm here in your city in general because I'm looking to clear my name, I heard my double ran for some office here and hurt some people... so..."
Tadeo then seemed to perk up to ask a quick question, one she had in common, "Yeah um, I'm with the green mister on this one, you know us, so who are you?"
"Uhh... My name's..." Sythius paused. Now that things were calmed down again, he was thinking more clearly. While he wasn't the best politician, he was pretty sure that 'throwing a super-powered tantrum' could be bad press. 'but she's so harmless!' he thought. The quickest way into Sythius' heart was by making him feel like you're a delicate little flower. His sensitivity gave him a sense of duty. It was elusive and warped, but he felt compelled to protect fragile flora. He resented his emotions, but at the same time, they enslaved him. "My name's Sythius," he smiled. 'Dammit! Why'd you do that you dummy! Now the public will hate me!' he wailed inside his head. He was torn. Internally he wanted to cry, but people made him giddy.
"What city are we in, again? If this was South City everything would be covered in gold. Even the toilets." he scowled inside his mind. 'You idiot! That's stupid!' he snapped, bopping himself up on the head. He winced. This was all in his head. 'Listen to me!' InnerSythius howled. 'You're going to lose your job, dumbass! That means we killed Skylar for nothing!' The thought pierced through his happy attitude. He had Skylar killed (or so he thought), but yet she was right in front of him! The dead don't come back to life. This Skylar was so nice, and the other one was evil! That means Councilwoman Skylar has to have been an imposter!
"Your double is dead..." Fake Skylar's body had never been recovered, but everyone saw a 70k assassin hit her. Nobody could sense her PL, so Sythius assumed that she was as strong as a normal human.

"Don't you 'Hoi there, buddy' me after that stunt you just pulled. If I hadn't just met you, I'd either say you're crazy or suicidal or a crazy suicidal." Tadeo watched as Sythius formally and officially introduced himself, smiling all the way through. While it was somewhat cringey, watching a lizard person smile, Tadeo didn't show anything he thought on his face. He smiled back, still sitting on the ceiling. "There we go! Sythius. Better than 'lizard man.'" Tadeo laid back down on the ceiling again (wtf). Looking out a window to make sure, even though he knew exactly where they were, Tadeo answered Sythius. "This is East City. We're closer by where I live. I took us here 'cuz this is the only hospital I've been in, even though I probably didn't need to go to that hospital." Tadeo kept laying down on the ceiling (how). He looked towards the floor, looking down on Skylar and Sythius. He was definitely defying a few laws of either gravity or motion or something here. Of course, the Saiyan really could care less.
Tadeo continued to lay down on the ceiling, when he finally realized something Skylar had said. He didn't understand why she called him that, however. It was a first, but not his favorite. "Wait, did you just call me 'green mister?'" That name was very, very weird. An awkward type of weird. Tadeo decided to shut up and pay no mind to it. The Saiyan dropped from the ceiling (finally) and checked outside. The Saiyan wanted to get home soon; it'd been a long day. He looked to his crazy friend, the one who stabbed herself. She looked as if she was good for now. Tadeo thought it'd be good to check her out of the hospital and get her back on her feet. "All right. Sorry for making you come all this way, Sythius. I'll open up a Gate and get you back to South City. As for Skylar, I'll just take her wherever she needs to be taken after I drop ya off. Lemme know when you're ready, Skylar. I'll check you out and we'll leave."

"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Skylar stuck out her tongue at Tadeo's comments feeling childish, but she did it anyways. She was probably still slightly doped up from the surgery, she concluded after a little thought, no wonder she wasn't in the corner of the room growling at the two other occupants. Sky made that her best assumption of what she'd probably with her "normal" mentality. All in all, being a little drugged probably worked out in the end. Less anxiety for her. "Hey," she started pointedly at Tadeo, "All visionaries are crazy... I'm no different."
Sythius's then gave his name hesitant. Sky understood his nervousness, who knew who was listening? BUT, she and Tadeo gave their names so it was only fair. When he did manage it she smiled and flicked her tail at her new friend, setting down her glass. Sky even giggled a little at what Sythius's said about gold toilets and his pride in South City, maybe he wasn't too bad when it came down to it... Skylar trailed off in that thought as Tadeo mentioned in East City, "East City?" She'd say looking a little wide eyed. It'd been a long time since she'd gone there.
Skylar once again got distracted once again as Tadeo asked about her calling him "green mister". Sky dismissed him with a wave as she was now trying figure out how to safely remove herself from all the tubes she was attached to.
At that Tadeo mentioned taking everyone where they needed to go... she swallowed guiltily and scratched the back of her head nervously. Yup, the drugs were wearing off. Skylar just remembered leaving Quin alone in South City. Like she realized he couldn't die and all but she felt like if he got run over by a car, it'd be her fault after being the one dragging him there in the first place... Then again... if she went there now..."Heyyyyy, so like do either of you know where I can like crash for the night...? I'm all in for checking out, other than being sore I think I'm fine but like I need to go to South City. But like seeing as it's like dark out and all... not that I'm afraid or anything but...." Sky's head and tail and head lowered in submission, she was at these two's mercy. Hopefully they didn't realize that she essentially lived day by day... especially since she literally just broke out of an underground lab like less than a week ago. Yeah, Skylar began considering getting a job at that moment. Being a super wolf girl had no financial benefits...
That's when Sythius mentioned that Skylar's double was dead. Skylar looked at him seriously now and said softly, "I wouldn't be so sure about that... I still recommend keeping an eye out if you care about that city of yours. She's escaped being killed before... who's to say not this time as well?" then she smiled sheepishly trying to lighten the mood, "But don't worry too much! She's probably dead if you say so... Nevertheless, if I see her ALIVE ever again, well, I'll be the last thing she sees."
Sythius finally realized that Tadeo was chilling on the ceiling. "Is it comfortable up there?" He chuckled. He, a lizard man, was chilling with a talking wolf woman and a green alien who was sitting on the ceiling. "Screw it, I'll find out for myself!" He hopped and began to float. Sythius slowly rolled over, and took a seat next to Tadeo on the ce-CRASH!
Sythius forgot about his tail, which broke through the ceiling, and was poking out of the floor above them!
At the same time, another nurse burst through the door! "I heard a noise, is everything okay?" She was looking right at Skylar. "Didn't you have friends with you?" The nurse was clearly confused and nervous but tried to hide it.
