Some reaction was expected. One got used to men having a rather bad reaction to that sort of attack. A set of long knees slamming uncoordinatedly into her hadn't exactly been the one she'd thought it would be.

But then she wasn't fighting Sam Winchester. She was fighting a being stupid enough to try and take over Sam.

....but that thought may have vanished when it became a mauling fest to get past her. (Sam is getting a knife in the gut the next time this happens.) It'll take her a few seconds to shake off the really sloppy but hard elbow blow to her sternum.

Long enough to catch the gun shot and snap her eyes up.

Where she catches the weird paused fighting of Sylar with the door, and Jack's not-nearly-sheepish look and gun next to Dean's royally panicked-pissed. Pressing a hand to her chest as she was forcing herself up, she pointed at Sam. "Go!"

It only that didn't sound more like a wheeze.
