Just before the glass vials hit the ground, they began to hover inches off the floor for a moment. Then, ever so slowly, they lifted and were placed back into the cart with soft, clanking noise. Luckily Jean had been at the door, or they would've had another mess to tend to. One was most certainly enough to deal with for now.
The tall, redheaded stepped further into the room and moved to other side of the bed, so she could take a closer look at the unconscious Zap.
This was just awful. Jean knew the likelihood of an attack occurring on the school's ground was a very real possibility, but she had hoped she would've been wrong and that they would've gone without incident. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case and they were going to have to impose/enforce stronger preventative measures to keep it from happening again.
After a few moments, she looked over at Joe (who was standing on the opposite side of the examination table) to make sure he was holding up okay. He looked shaken up but not just by what happened to Zalika, but also by the amount of electricity coursing through his system. The lights overhead were still flickering from dim to bright, back to dim again. And the monitors were doing the same, but she knew they didn't need to worry about them turning off - or blowing up. Zap was getting weaker by the second, therefore her powers were beginning to wane.
"Should we try a blood transfusion?" Jean wondered aloud. She knew if they got more blood into her system, it would take longer for the Upir enzyme to replace it. But it also meant it would prolong Zalika's suffering. There was also a second option, but she really didn't know if it'd be a good idea or not.
