In good news, Lee just texted that everything went well and she's on her way home. She does not, however, glow in the dark. Sad.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay! Maybe the superpowers will show up tomorrow.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
She does not, however, glow in the dark.
Damn. I bet she doesn't have webshooters in her wrists either.

Thanks for letting us know, Amy!
Glowing in the dark wouldn't be such a great superpower, so I'm glad that's not it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You should just be able to say "no, thanks" when you don't want to or can't eat something for whatever reason and not get hassled about it.
Yeah, this one!!! "No thanks!" "OK!" I mean, seriously, Effing people.

Yay Lee! Boo lack of superpowers...though don't they usually take a few days to kick in/be discovered? I mean, I'll bet she hasn't TRIED to fly yet. IJS.
I had an ER doctor carefully explain to me that the aspirin allergy I had listed on my intake form was not actually an allergy, it was a sensitivity (based on my described symptoms)
Yeah, I mean...I'm sensitive to percoset. I'm not allergic. If you give it to me, I will go full exorcist, and puke in your face. But you will not need to go get an epi-pen and keep me on life support. It'll just be mad unpleasant. For both of us.

I think the problem is those people with intolerances or allergies who aren't content with "No, Thanks" and moving right along, and instead want to tell you long and descriptive stories of their gastrointestinal distress when they eat food X and/or attempt to convert you to their wacky colonic irrigation/foods only beginning with T/foods without a soul/etc. scheme. Those people give food intolerances a bad name, and I judge them.
Edit: aside, did you know that multiple Greek philosophers did not eat beans, believing them to have a soul? I guess it was the farting, somehow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've had doctors and nurses go back and forth with me. Compazine gives me anxiety attacks. Am I allergic? Apparently not. Do they want to be told about it when I go in, especially since I have compazine every time? Sometimes. To me it only matters that they give me Benadryl first, because that makes me not rip out my tubes and run away. And Benadryl is in my regimen, so mostly I don't say anything other than to tell the nurse the order I prefer.
This last nurse was *so* (So) rocking that she even let me dictate where in the IV bag feed line she gave me the dilaudid. I don't know why she was so awesome, but thank you, lady.
