Sarina had found herself still sore a little from the previous day’s events that had her annoyingly spending some time in the infirmary, of course the nurses were simply doing their jobs but she hated being poked and prodded over a few cuts and bruises, of course they had to check that nothing else was broken or damaged from her fight with Polaris, she was being a little bit of pain to them because she mainly felt they shouldn’t really be fussing over her. That also had her brooding a lot to, every time she replayed it in her mind, the bottom line was they got their asses kicked and Sarina would be lying to herself if she thought that such a thing playing on her mind was one another reason she struggled to sleep. Adding to the fact that Arsenal had decided to have everyone meet up at this ‘war room’, luckily for her she was able to do some of her usual in the morning, A nice shower to clean up, normally something she would do after a workout of jog, something she skipped and then spent most of the time she had brooding over a Mocha hoping it would help cheer her up a little. [hr] Soon enough Sarina had made her way down to the war room and behold the rest of the group, some she fought alongside some she knew from either seeing them from time to time around the academy or bumping into them and some appeared to be missing, it seemed their Polaris fight got some unwanted attention and it cost a couple of their team. The ex-villianess was still getting used to the idea of being in a group, before the whole incident working with Cyborg and Arsenal, Sarina had never played well with others, so this was still a learning curve for her and so these war room sessions may actually be helpful in the long run. The redhead would watch on as members of the group were taking turns getting their suits while Arsenal was explaining the Digitizer gizmo and how the war room works. Her time was spent observing people getting their new suits and watching the first session between Shattercrash and Shuriken, in fact Sarina was very curious how it will play out with a literal ninja taking on a WMD in a bank setting. Sarina could only watch a little scene play out in front of her, Switchblade was once again making an ass of himself, the guy rubbed her the wrong way and seemed more than happy to give crap to other members of the team for no apparent reason other than to make himself feel good maybe? He certainly seemed to have a beef with Shield, in her mind it was only a matter of time till someone put the dude in his place… And she didn’t have to wait long, she watched the tense encounter between him and Apparition and she could not help but Smirk and nod slightly with approval and the later gave him a literal verbal burn. The altercation was interrupted however when Oracle had made her way back out in her new suit. Fortunately for the red head she was close enough to the pair to hear what Apparition had to say at the distracted guy and could only let out an audible snort in her attempt to not laugh at him. [COLOR=f7941d]"He wouldn't know how to handle us anyway."[/color] She quietly remarked the pair, Sarina was liking this girl even more. Composing herself Sarina looked over at Oracle and nodded at her. [COLOR=f7941d]“Looking good”[/color] Her Irish accent coming through. [hr] [color=f7941d]Mini Collab with:[/color] [@YourNameHere] - Apparition. When it was time for someone else to go into the digitizer however, the girl was able to not only beat Arsenal for asking who was next but also beat herself to be next in line to go, Sarina didn’t mind like, the girl was obviously on a roll right now after all so why stop? She watched as the girl pretty much demonstrated her power on the way to the machine, an eyebrow raised at the sight before as the girl materialized butt naked in front of the group and didn’t bother to cover herself. In that moment she could swear it was so silent that one would hear a pin drop. Even she was distracted from the screens as she noticed the poor girls’ clothing was bunched up on the floor where she once stood. Sarina would have noticed that once again Switchblade was gawking at the sight before him, light a deer in headlights. Placing her arm around him which seemed to make him instantly tense up. [COLOR=f7941d]“Your drooling.”[/color] She would say into his ear, which was followed by an audible slap as the poor guy literally and probably not intentionally slapped his own face when checking if he really was drooling. After that bit of amusement Sarina would take the moment while the machine was doing its work to pick up the girls’ clothing and at least fold it up as it was not some pile of mess on the floor. After a moment the girl dispersed her way out and reformed wearing her new suit next to the Shield guy. Moving up to the side of Apparition and hearing she didn’t like her outfit. [COLOR=f7941d]“At least it stays with you when you disperse, at least one thing to like.”[/color] Soon afterwards she would hold up the girls’ clothing she had picked up. [COLOR=f7941d]“Believe these are yours, I took the liberty of picking them up.”[/color] [colour=#de184b]“I’d almost rather lose my clothes,”[/colour] Arina muttered in response, still tugging at the material, [colour=#de184b]“Contrary to the clothes I wear, I’m not a fan of feeling restrained,”[/colour] Arina turned towards Sarina as she continued speaking, her frown disappearing almost immediately. Arina’s usual blank expression met the red headed girl as she held out the outfit Arina had just lost and her head tilted her head ever so slightly as her ice blue gaze flickered to the clothes and back to the fire user - almost as if she were cautious. [colour=#de184b]‘Huh’[/colour] The subconscious sound escaped her lips and as she came back to reality, a small closed eyed smile engulfed her features as she reached out and gently took the outfit that Flamebird had so kindly picked up and folded for her. [colour=#de184b]“Nobody has ever gone to the trouble of [i]folding[/i] or even [i]collecting[/i] my clothes for me,”[/colour] she mused, tucking them towards her body in her arms. [colour=#de184b]“You’re sweet, thank you,”[/colour] her voice was sickeningly honeyed and almost anyone who overheard the conversation would have assumed she was perhaps mocking the girl, however, for a change, Arina was genuine. [hr] Once it was time again, Sarina stepped forward to take her turn in entering the machine, she took of her red shirt however leaving her in a tank top and black jeans and slipping her phone out and put them to one side before entered it, Arsenal did the usual, telling her to envision what she wanted for a suit, ultimately it be similar to what the lab was working on but with finer details and slight improvements. With that in mind she stood inside it and Arsenal went to the controls. [color=ed1c24]“ready? Remember to imagine…”[/color] Sarina interrupted him. [COLOR=f7941d]“I know, Hit it.”[/color] She calmly replied with a nod towards him, she was actually looking forward to this. She closed her eyes and let the moments pass as the machine went to work. After a few moments it was finished and Sarina stepped out in her new suit. [img]https://i.imgur.com/de551lU.png[/img] Looking over herself, before feeling her face, yep this time she had a mask to cover her identity, a must have for anyone that had a past like hers, what would people say if they clicked on the titans had an ex villain on the team? Either way, she was digging her new suit. [COLOR=f7941d]“Hmm, I can work with this.”[/color] Sarina said with a smile on features, this was to be a new chapter in her life and the suit help represent her alias and what she felt and sometimes feared what she could be truly capable off. Thankfully wear she hadn’t used her powers the suit was all back and so wouldn’t burn her shirt off, so putting it back on she placed her phone in it pocket. It did seem her Domino mask had a tint of flair added to it. Maybe she should ask the class, not that she cared to much if people like her suit or not, she needed to learn on interacting with them. [COLOR=f7941d]“So, what you guys think?"[/color] She aimed at no one in particular. A cheshire grin appeared on Arina’s features as Flamebird stepped out of the digitizer and asked the group's opinion, [colour=#de184b]“Looking hot,”[/colour] she mused, once again raising questions to which side her sexuality lay. Her comment gained her a few odd or disapproving looks, namely from Arsenal he raised an eyebrow at her, [colour=Red]”She comes out looking like an actual professional, and the best you can summon is ‘Hot’?”[/colour] he asked, his tone clearly not amused, and she turned her head towards the mentor, her grin falling into her innocent blank gaze, [colour=#de184b]”What?”[/colour] she whined back in her defense, ignoring his blatant dig at her own outfit, [colour=#de184b]”Hot is the perfect word for it… I mean…”[/colour] she paused for a moment as a wry smile played on her lips, [colour=#de184b]”I’d… do her… if you know what I mean,”[/colour] [colour=Red]”Shut it, apparition,”[/colour] and she shrugged, shooting quick smile and a wink at Sarina.
