When Nicole smiled, Sarah couldn't help but return the expression at the offer for them to out and get her ears pierced. She wasn't used to people actually bothering to care about her, so Sarah's soft smile stuck. A soft chuckle left her lips as Nicole was left flustered by her remark about the lust-hit.<i>"Well, it was the weakest I can manage, wouldn't want you all over some lucky guy would we?"</i>Sarah hesitated a brief moment, carefully picking her words.<i>"Or...a lucky gal, there's plenty of those around too, I guess."</i>She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly while averting her gaze away from Nicole, before regaining enough control to relax again.<i>"Unless you do want that?"</i>She quipped, laughing softly.<br/><br/>Sarah had been too distracted by her conversation with the other woman to notice Helga's threat, only noticing what was wrong when the woman was already alight with blue fire. Nicole's quick reaction prevented Sarah from being accidentally harmed by Helga however, as Nicole turned the two of them intangible. Sarah blinked confused as she realized what had just happened, her eyes going between Nicole's grip on her arm and the angry Helga. Being ethereal was a strange sensation to say the least, like something tugging on her stomach. Sarah had trouble trying to find words to describe the feeling to herself.<br/><br/><i>"Ah, shit, the fuck is going on?" </i>Sarah tactlessly shouted as the ceiling-mounted fire-extinguishers bore down upon Helga. She reached out with her mind, trying to hit Helga with the desire to rest to give the fiery woman a chance to regain control of herself, but Sarah found herself unable to use her powers in the intangible state Nicole used to protect them both. Her mind unable to affect the chemistry of the brain while not in the same plane of existence.<i>"Fuck, should we get out of here or try to calm her down? There's no ISIS to prevent her from torching us on missions."</i>The heat was nearly unbearable, enough to make Sarah want to leave the training room just like Nathan, Mimi and Jenny.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
