Morgan doesn't strictly need to sleep. Even if she didn't want to put up with the annoyance of constantly having a caffeine buzz and having to ask for coffee on almost every summon, there are naps. Naps can keep a daeva going for quite a long time.
But there's something unutterably pleasant about curling up in a proper bed in pajamas and just sleeping. And then waking up and getting breakfast in those pajamas. So she does that, because immortality's a long unpleasant time if you don't enjoy the little things every now and then. Like adorable bunny slippers and soft pajamas and sleeping in.
She's midway through a fruity salad thing that counts as the standard fairy breakfast when she feels the summon. Showing up to a summon in pajamas? Eh. If they're proper summoners she bets they've seen worse, and she doesn't particularly care if they think she's unprofessional.
She puts her spoon down and accepts the summon.

Morgan switches back to Glam.
"Hey," she says, subdued. "Yep, that was not a social call. I've got to go."

Morgan lets out a breath.
Then she dials and calls her scheduler to say that the rest of the day needs to be rescheduled to another time. Her scheduler probably guesses why, but doesn't ask the question and instead just calmly agrees and wishes her luck. This is why she hired this person.
She gets a cup of coffee and downs it so she can be assured she's at her most awake. She removes all of the items she won't be needing to fight Behemoth, ie, most of them, and leaves them in a tidy pile in her apartment. Cellphone included, once she's gotten the text.
And then she waits for the text itself.
It is not a city yet but there is a city in the distance. The coordinates don't make it obvious which city it is other than "somewhere in southwestern Asia."
And there's this big-ass rock monster.

"Radiation too?" she confirms. "Just protection against vacuum won't be enough against getting seared to a crisp. Not even from Behemoth, space is nasty."

She smiles, and then they are on their way to space, dragging Behemoth behind. They are well out of his radius of bullshit. She did her homework.
Are there going to be any problems on the way to the designated battlefield?

She gets them a decent distance from Earth. It feels much faster during the short time they ascend out of Earth's atmosphere, even though she speeds up once they're safely out of it. Things start looking very slow when all of your ways of measuring relative speed are very far away.
Then, when Earth looks about the size of a dime: Okay, this is a decent distance. I soften him up and you see if your offensive power can capitalize on it?
