Today wasn't a chemo day though. She'd been feeling a little weaker than usual, unable to keep any food down and having a general feeling of lethargy. Normally she'd just say she had the flu and confine herself to bed, drinking lots of water and eating chicken soup, but since she still was battling the 'Big C', she wanted to stop by the clinic. Just in case. She hadn't wanted to worry anyone though, so she hadn't mentioned it to Pietro or to anyone at the Institute, instead opting to take a taxi to the clinic on her own.
She walked into the clinic slowly, forcing forth her biggest, brightest smile, waving to Yukina even though she felt very tired and very weak. "Hi. I... I don't feel so well."

"Come on inside an examination room," said Yukina. "I'll be happy to help you."
She wasn't formally trained as a doctor, but she had decades of training as a healer. Not that she looked as if she was even legally an adult. Her people aged very slowly and had extremely long natural lifespans, and Yukina was short with rounded features. The concept of 'legal age' still confused her, but she chalked it up to being a human thing and left it at that.
Yukina didn't know Angelica well, but she recalled speaking to her before. She held the door open to one of the examination rooms and smiled softly at her. Just by looking at the way Angelica moved, Yukina observed the fatigue and admired Angelica's effort to be pleasant in spite of the fact that she clearly wasn't feeling her best.
"Please have a seat," she added, motioning to a chair. Yukina avoided using the Clinic's examination tables when possible, on account of her own small size. It seemed pointless to have someone sit up on one of those when she had to step up on a stool to examine them properly.

"I'm not sure if you remember me, my name is Angelica Jones. I was admitted here a few months ago to treat my breast cancer. Doctor Mid-Nite helped treat me, and I'm told I'm in remission, but I think I may be coming down with the flu or something." As if on cue, Angelica started to shiver, which was odd, considering her mutant ability to generate heat usually allowed her to stay toasty and warm. "Either way, I wanted to check in here, just in case."

"What symptoms have you had so far, and how long have you been having them?" she asked.
Well, chills for one, she mentally noted.

With a frown, she added, "I just feel achy and tired all over, really."

She retrieved a light blanket from the cupboard in the examination room and offered it to Angelica.
"I can heal you...but you should probably put this around you, first. A lot of people find they feel cold while I'm healing them."

The petite ice apparition took a slow, deliberate breath and channelled some of her healing energy around her hands.
"Please brace yourself. It won't take long, but if you're already feeling chills it might feel unpleasant until I've finished healing you."
Yukina gave Angelica a moment to do just that before gently laying her hands on Angelica's shoulders to begin her healing work. As she manipulated the restorative energy, Angelica might feel something akin to frigid water flowing around her, although there was nothing actually drenching her.

Angelica stayed silent too, save for the slight chattering of her teeth, watching Yukina intently before closing her eyes and trying to relax into the cold. It wasn't too terribly cold, given time to adjust, though it was certainly far colder than what she was used to. Angie couldn't help but wonder how Yukina learned such a technique. To say the least, she was impressed.

"I hope that helped," she said, taking a moment to catch her breath. She could use her powers all day, but pausing and not doing it continuously was important.

It was an overwhelming sensation, feeling healthy again, so overwhelming that Angie had to blink back the tears welling up in her eyes, though she had an impossibly large smile on her face. "I feel... amazing. Better than I've felt all year. Thank you, Yukina. From the bottom of my heart, thank you."

"I'm glad that I was able to help," she said, inclining her head in a small bow. "Please let me know if you need anything else, and don't hesitate to come to me for more healing whenever you need it."
