Stronger with every loss,
She's actually baffled that Jack agrees, but more than happy to watch as he jumps over the bonfire, the flames barely daring to touch him to add more than a dramatic flare of showmanship. It immediately has her bouncing, already inching to follow before he's calling her forward. Her mind is a layer of glittering ideas and calculations, magic buzzing on her skin in preparation for the stunt.
"Okay! Here I come!" Then she sprints, her quick steps devoid of any hesitations or reservations as she leaps through the flames like a majestic creature splitting the sea. There's a smile plastered on her face, laughter on her lips as she replicates Jack enough to keep the fire from her skin, only feeling the caress of heat at her fingertips that she spreads wide like a pair of wings.
Nova isn't quite as good as Jack yet, but she doesn't notice the quiet singing of her boots as she hops in front of the captain. "That was awesome! Feel any different?" She looks at her fingers then shows them to him like he might be able to see the current of magic underneath. "I don't notice anything."
