If there was any chance of them sneaking off, it's gone now. The asphalt wrenches out of the ground, and now the whole group is turning towards them.
As though Ian's use of his powers remind her that she has her own, she phases through him, hitting the ground with a thud as the air is knocked from her lungs. This would be the perfect distraction to go back for her brother, but even if she phased through the wall and the aliens, she has no idea how she'd free the prisoners and get them away.
Ian is right, but it doesn't make her feel better. It just makes her more furious.
"God damn it, Ian," she says, grabbing for his hand to run. She's not even sure how much of her anger is for him, though. She's mad at everything. All of it. How fucking stupid and unfair everything is.
