Sitting in the Hospital bed, dressed in a Hospital Gown, With a Bandadged Arm that revealed a little bit of black char on her shoulder, Samus would watch the Screen of a Laptop put on her Lap, watching as the Broadcast she had just made flicked off, With Sonic's Dire Message..."But if your not with us. Your against us." Those words. Ringing in Samus's Mind, as She Gulped, Wishing her state could help her just lift up off this bed and go smack sonic a good 200 times for being such an idiot, But, She imagined even if she wanted to, No one in the hospital would let her in her state.

The Gravely wounded Samus just sighed, Putting the Laptop to her side, as Nurses paraded the hall, Leaving samus by herself, as she stared at the roof in disbelief. "...Why...What made Sonic act so brash all of a sudden..." Samus would say, her eyes squinting as the stress of this situation was cluttering her mind, Starting to cause her to, Mentally, Look for an excuse out. Something, anything...Anything...


Suddenly, Samus's Mind wandering was stopped, as a Nurse knocked on the Door, Opening it. "E-excuse me, Miss Samus? You have a Visitor. I know you said you didnt want anyone to Visit you, But, This is a really important one, So i think you'll want to see her." The Nurse said, Clearly having not heard the big news of Sonic's Betrayal, As she turned around and left, The door hanging open for the Visitor to Wander in on the Wounded Samus.



"Yeah, Let her in...I could use someone to talk to." Samus said to herself, Trying to adjust herself to a more refined Sitting Up Position, but this was hampered as doing so made her bite her tounge as her scorched arm would sting from the littlest movements.

The clicking of high heels against the tile floor heralded Peach's arrival. Her flowing dress filled the doorway and her already pleasant expression brightened up considerably upon catching sight of the other. Bouncing over, Peach went straight to work putting her talents to use. "I hope you're feeling a bit better now that you're back in the life sphere, but if you're still hurting maybe this will help!" the princess offered. A glittery looking pink heart-shaped bubble would manifest in her arms which she ever so calmly and carefully guided into Samus' own chest. It seemed to fade into her body, leaving a pleasant tingling sensation where it touched her before beginning to spread throughout her body. It was a pretty pleasurable sensation at an intensity that might just elicit an involuntary squirm, but the intensity would very quickly die down to something easier to absorb after a moment. Of course, this wasn't just sensual. It had some pretty amazing healing properties and might give Samus a jumpstart on healing her body. Miracles were what the power of love did best, after all! After she finished, Peach would gingerly lift herself up and place herself down next to Samus, offering herself for leaning or snuggling purposes if the other felt like it. She hadn't really offered, but she was certainly close enough and inviting enough. Peach knew better than to insult Samus' dignity by smothering her with affection, choosing instead to make herself available and let the other choose whether to open up like that. Yet, the princess was well aware of the bad news and couldn't ignore the hedgehog metaphorically in the room forever. It briefly tainted her smile.

"Are you thinking about the announcement that Sonic made..?" she would ask, curiously watching the other's body language to try and catch a non-verbal response if one was given.

The Sounds of Clicking Heels made Samus perk up a bit, smiling as her mood was lifted almost immediately, as Peach would arrive, Making Samus nod. "Well, Its better here than in some abandoned building with Black Shadow." Samus said happily, as She watched Peach perform some form of Magic. A Heart would float on over to Samus's Body, Making samus squirm a little as she wasn't quite used to spontaneous love and affection, especially in pure concentrated form. Her arm stung a little less, but Samus could hardly realize it when she was too busy looking to Peach.

"Mm, Nurse Joy said that my arm would be better in Three days top," Samus would say, Though with Peach's affectionate healing, Samus would be back in working condition come Tomorrow morning. It was an awful amount of damage. Samus's cheeks went a bit red at the sight of Peach getting into the bed with her, Sighing a little as, Considering the moment, She may as well, as Samus scooted over to set her body closer to her. 

"Its...Kinda hard not to. There's too much suspicious about it. The Fact its out in one of the most polluted area's of Li, The use of materials that could be used for better living out here...Not to mention the aggressive Tone. He's only gonna save those who agree with him, And anyone who isnt on board will get...well...Im just wondering how on earth he can think this is Ok. " Samus said, definitely worried that, worse comes to...Worse, she'd have to take this in her own hands and fight Sonic face to face. Pushover, and as wrong as he may be..He was still quite the powerfull combatant. And even then, How would the Life Sphere react to Sonic, one of the leaders, being killed. Or worse, Samus getting killed.


Samus was definately Lax. Her body sunk a bit into the pillows of her bed, As she looked down. "Its...Alot to take in, Especially when i just got done saying that things would be Okay for now."

Peach was quiet for a long moment. Y'know how it was rude to invade someone's personal space? Well, that went about twenty-fold for royalty. Sure, Peach didn't make a habit of closing herself off from people like that--but moving to touch royalty without their express permission was enough to get you attacked by a guard on the spot in a lot of places! Something about assassins and proper behavior. ...Once again though, those places were probably a bit less happy-go-lucky than the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach herself seemed curious if anything. She hadn't known Samus to be all that affectioante herself, but she did recognize inviting body language when she saw it. Samus wanted to be close to her, and she was more than willing to accommodate. If she were being honest, she had always dreamed of being this close to Samus. She'd just been waiting for an invitation. A bright smile of recognition would meet Samus should she look at the other. If one paid attention, they could see tiny magical heart shapes fluttering around in Peach's irises. She wasn't very good at hiding her feelings, but they were quite subtle compared to the pink ones that tended to rise from her head. She didn't want to come on too strong, after all. What if she ruined this progress? A gloved hand would gently slide around Samus' waist, very gently pulling her into a side hug. It was a very respectful touch with a sort of innocent romance to it. She didn't grab, squeeze or tug--the princess of all people knew what a bad touch felt like. She simply cuddled in the most easygoing of ways. Her silky skirt brushed up against the other's legs, and of course Samus' would be welcome to explore this embrace if she desired something more out of it.

"It is rather telling, seeing who has chosen to leave..." Peach thoughtfully replied after giving Samus a moment to consider what had just happened. "Thankfully, most of the sisterhood is well and accounted for. Amy and Arle have not returned home since the announcement, but I believe in my heart that they would not turn on us. I only hope that they are both okay, wherever they are..." Peach went on to lament, a note of worry in her tone. She knew that Arle, in particular, did not like Sonic, and found herself wondering if perhaps it could be possible that Arle had chased Amy off in search of him. She certainly hoped that was the case, honestly, since she knew of few more qualified heroes in the life sphere and she could trust Arle to look after Amy, who was the one she was really worried about. She wasn't oblivious to Amy's obsession after all, and although she wanted to believe Amy was a better person than that, she didn't truly know the other well enough to say sure. "But--It's not your fault. And no matter what happens, we will be staying here with you until we can find a better solution~"
