"I was thirsty, okay?" Nick said to Rose. His memory was jogged, and now he remembered tripping balls. He also remembered Ra was carrying him. Not that he minded a lot, but he felt kinda lazy.
"Um. Ra, you can put me down now." He said, squirming within her grip. At least they wouldn't have to listen to Coolidge anymore.

Later that day, they had boarded the train back home. Nick had a long time to ask the others about what happened. And he had learned he was a lot more effective. That led him to wonder why. He was aware that he was less powerful than the others. And he had come to the conclusion that it was because he was afraid. Every enemy they had faced this far had terrified him. And Nick felt like that had been holding him back. Day had turned to night, and they were nearing home when Nick worked up the courage to approach Ra.
"Thanks for carrying me." He said. Awkward as usual. "Um. I hope I wasn't too heavy." He fidgeted in the seat across from her. Then he finally blurted out his question.
"Ra, I need to become fearless." He said to her. "Can you help me?"
