[She looks over her shoulder, finally catches sight of the flickering lights. She pales. There's something funny in the air that reminds her of the awed looks she caught from the backseat when the boys came up on other runners. The funny way Ghoul would smile when she got something working even he couldn't fix. The things she never liked to think to hard about; that the Dracs never took the shot when they had the chance, taking her instead of leaving her for dead like any other runner, that when BLI had the chance to take out the Killjoys they came for her instead.
There's panic mixing into the anger now, like the lights are something significant that she can't quite put her finger on. But it makes her stomach turn and skin prickle.]
I'm not doin' nothing! [Another light shuts off in a spray of sparks, blowing with the overload of power.] You've lost your damn head 'cause whatever you think your seein', it ain't me. [Another and then another. Her voice rises until she's shouting. She puts her hands over her ears, shaking her head.]
You don't know what you're talkin' about. Just shut up, shut up!
