Stella's icy eyes closed for a moment after Thierry gently but sternly scolded her. She didn't mean to snap. It had been a long three(ish) weeks down here, and Stella just wanted to go home. She followed #3 across to the other Voidlight agent. A slight smile of relief tugged at the corner of her lips. [b]"You have no idea how glad I am to see someone from there,"[/b] Stella commented before the girl named Star dipped into the water once again. 

Stella's guilt intensified as Nick seemed to have a breakdown. She would apologize once they were in a safer region of this stupid facility. A soft breath of relief exited her lips as she saw Thierry take care of Nick. Stella realized that their relationship seemed to be more supportive. It was rather cute despite the pain Nick went through in the last few weeks. Stella's fists gripped in frustration as she wanted nothing more than to torture those who turned the young man into a walking experiment. 

Stella turned her attention back to #3, who had oxygen tanks. She smiled as she knelt in front of the girl. [b]"You did great crossing the water. Just remember that you are always stronger than what you believe. The mind likes to lie to protect the body, but you are more than capable of avoiding those nasty guards,"[/b] Stella spoke as her gaze softened. [b]"How did they get you to move out of the vents, 3? I still had time left before you needed to get to the submarine,"[/b] she questioned as she tucked some hair behind #3's ear. 

Stella sighed softly as she cut the hems off her pants to make a temporary hair tie. [b]"Here, let's pull your hair out of your face. You'll be able to see better,"[/b] she spoke as she stood back up and quickly weaved #3's hair into a braid but looped it around to create a bun. Her head snapped back to the sound of the alligator. 

[b]"Thierry! Nick's grenades!"[/b] She reminded the older man as she hoped Nick still had some left on his person. Stella was getting prepared to cover 3's eyes just in case.
