When Hal told her that Peyton was barely alive, Mira missed a step and nearly crashed into the floor. "..... excuse me?" She asked, her voice deadpan.
"If she dies, you might as well kill me too."

"We're doing all we can, Mira." Hal told her.
"She's a fighter, much like yourself." he said.
"I'm sure she'll make it." he assured her.
'I hope.' he then thought, before calling the medical wing.
He let them know he was on his way with Kiah, and that she'd need to rest, and that Mira was with them for the same reason, and that she was no longer a threat. Just so there would be no panic when they arrived.

Mira, meanwhile, hadn't been quiet, and had insisted on being with Peyton. She didn't get her way, either, but did agree to just sit and chill, at least, for a bit until Peyton was definitely going to survive. As it stood, there wasn't anything more that Mira could do, so despite really not wanting to, she did agree. Once those two were set up, Angela approached Hal and pulled aside.
".... Hal... I can't save her." She told him honestly.
"I did all I could with my mana, with everything at my disposal. I can't do it alone." She continued before meeting his gaze.
".... You willing to help?"

The look in his eyes was unmistakable.
She saw sadness and anger, and a resolve that was nigh-unbreakable.
"Do it." he said. "Word it however you want, just do it." he added.
"I wish Peyton would survive and recover from this." Angela stated, and as soon as she finished the last syllable, Hal snapped his fingers.
There was then an uncomfortable 5 seconds, before they heard Nate call out to Angela.
"Dr. Edwards! It's Peyton!" he said.
"She's starting to rally, but she needs you there to make sure she succeeds!"

For now, she was more worried about ensuring Peyton's survival, so that's exactly what she was going to focus on. However, she kenw this would not be easy, but also knew that this was something that she needed to do with it. She was trhrilled that Peyton had a chance now though.
All she could do, was put her effort into it, and make sure that the woman survived.

Hal watched her go, and sighed quietly.
"The rest is up to you, Angela." he told her.
Eventually, Mira couldn't stay awake. What had happened had gotten to her, and she passed out where she was, refusing to go to a room. She slept for quite a while, and when she woke up, she was spread out over a few of the chairs, with a blanket over her.
She opened her eyes and saw people milling about, but it was Nate that noticed she was starting to sit up, and made his way over with the coffee he had in his hands. He'd made it for himself, but hadn't drank any yet... and figured Mira could use it more, right now.
"Good morning." he greeted her.
"Here." her said, offering the hot drink.
"The rest is up to you, Angela." he told her.

"... How's Pey?" She asked, her voice almost hesitant.

Nate just smiled softly.
"She rallied." he said.
"And Dr. Edwards did all she could. Worked herself to the verge of passing out. But they did it." he told her.
"Peyton will make a full recovery." he assured her further.
"...have a bit of a scar, but... she'll recover." he added.
"Actually, if you want to see her, you can see for yourself." he then offered.
"I'm sure it'd be fine for a moment or two."

Nate nodded in response, and the two of them made their way to Peyton's room. He opened the door and stepped inside, with her following, and they saw Peyton laying in the bed, hooked up to a few different things.
One thing was for certain... she'd looked better.
But the machines indicated she was stable.
"She's actually been improving over the past 10 hours or so." Nate told her.
"It's a remarkable recovery."

"I... should probably go talk to Sharp, find out how much trouble I'll have to deal with for everything that happened." She added after a moment or two before handing the coffee back, she hadn't taken a drink of it, had actually not even realised she'd had it, entirely, as well. Too much was going through her head.

"From what we've learned, this wasn't your fault. At all." he told her.
"But yes, you should probably talk to Sharp." he agreed.
"Want me to call you when Peyton wakes up?" he then asked. "Odds are she'll be wanting to see you when she does."

"...you know she will." Nate responded.
"Give her a little more credit." he said, before shaking his head.
"At any rate, go on and see Sharp." he then said.
"I'll call ahead and let him know you're coming, so you can skip the receptionist." he offered.
"Streamline this just that smidgen."

She managed to make her way up to the head office without much issue, and without running into anyone, somehow. That was surprising, most certainly. However, she wasn't going to complain.
As she stepped into the office, she found the door open and the receptionist out of the room for the moment. Mira didn't stop to debate it before stepping up tot he door into the office proper. As she rested her hand on the door handle to push it open fully as it was open about two inches, she heard Hal's voice.
"-yes, she is terminated immediately, charges will be pressed on murder and assault, and she will be put away for the rest of her life.
She paused, before sighing and knocking on the door, it opening as she did so from the natural force of the knocks.

Hal looked over towards her, and his eyes widened for a small second.
"I must go. Important meeting just came up." he told whomever was on the other end, before hanging up.
"Hello, Mira." he greeted her.
"Good to see you up and about." he said further.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"So let's get this show on the road. Pey's looking good, by the way." She added

Hal was stunned for a moment, before sighing heavily.
"Oh, you heard the end of that." he said.
"No. No, let's NOT get that show on the road." he said further.
"That phone call was NOT about you. YOU had no control over the actions of your body, especially seeing as you were no longer even IN it." he reasoned. "To bring you up on charges and terminate your position would not only be a miscarriage of justice, it would likely cause me to lose my position here. Because if that were demanded, I'll resign over doing that to you." he stated.
"No, the person in question is Priscilla Davenport." he informed her, Mira knowing her as the head of Media Relations.

"It's about time that she got her comeuppance."

"You know what? You're right." he said.
"Previously, it was just comments or jokes that could have been misconstrued as inappropriate, but not malicious, and general bad attitude. But nothing was too conclusive." he muttered.
"This? This was different. This was her actively trying to have Peyton killed, which resulted in not only her near-death, but the death of one of our security guards." he went on.
"Oh, and I was talking to a legal representative of his family." he then clarified. "They're seeking maximum penalties from her, and I have agreed, including negotiations on her 401K, as she is estranged from any relatives or family." he informed her.
"So they think it only fair it go towards legal costs and such. I heartily agreed."
