[ She has ice, whatever pain relievers Toni keeps in the medicine cabinet and a glass of water. Even the act of carrying things in Peter's hands is strange. His hands are so much bigger than hers.
Her thoughts are interrupted by Toni -- James! -- and she is instantly even more concerned. ]
[ She throws Peter's hands up in the hair in frustration. When she does, webs begin to shoot from her hands and fly across the room. Try as she might, she can't stop it. ]
[James is surprised, and in his current body he's not accustomed to having slow reflexes or a headache and it's just different. Instead of doing anything useful James falls off the bed with a distinct thud. Next time he's not going to rest on the edge of the bed.]
Katara! Calm down. I think the body you're in has powers. Just relax and try not to do anything!
[ So, so much easier said than done. Eventually, however, she gets the hang of it, and the webs subside. The wall is covered in them, however. Clean-up is going to be messy. ]
I'm so sorry!
[ She's stronger in this body -- useful! -- and reaches to help James back to the bed. ]
I am. Who are you?

I could really use any help right now. Do you know where Toni's apartment is?

I'm already here. Toni and Peter are roommates.

[The knocking is a little painful, he still has a headache. He doesn't want to get off the bed.]
Come in. Walking hurts.

Are you alright? What happened?

I'm okay, I did something to my ankle. She was in the middle of taking a step in a pair of high heels when I got put in her body.

You should stay off of it for awhile until the redness and swelling get better. And take these.
[ Two ibuprofen and call me in the morning? It would have been so much easier if she could heal. ]

[The ice is cold, but it's not an unfamiliar thing. He takes the pills without complaining.]
Thanks Katara, I will.
How are you doing as a boy?

[At least James has a good idea who Katara's body is. He's spider-man, and the help back onto the bed is appreciated.]
I hope you didn't get that on anything important...
[James hardly ever cleans his own room.]

Toni will have to forgive me.
