She rolls her eyes, but the expression is more playful than annoyed as she licks the ice cream and tries to figure out what the best course of action might actually be. Fighting this on her own would be preferable simply because she doesn't like to be indebted to anyone and even though she trusts Coop, it still makes her a little nervous to think she might owe him down the line even if she doubts he would ever look at it like that. People in general have often proven to be untrustworthy and as a result she doesn't trust them, but it's been easy with Coop right from the start. She's not sure she'd ever say this to him, but he's made things easier for her in ways she doesn't even entirely understand.

"I do want to figure it out," she says. "I can't be without my powers, it's... it feels wrong." Her powers have saved her more times than she can count. They've kept her safe in the most dangerous of situations, they've given her confidence and a way to get out of anything that makes her uncomfortable. They literally kept her out of dangerous hands when she was being passed through the foster system and made it so she could keep other boys and girls out of abusive situations as well, though she knows she hadn't been able to save everyone she encountered. She's not a hero by any means, her desire to have her powers back are entirely selfish. If she truly cared that much, she would have stayed in Canada, become a social worker, used her powers for actual good instead of using them to make money. She's not fooling herself into thinking she wants them back for some noble purpose.

She wants them back because she feels vulnerable without them. Susceptible to any dangerous person out there in the world.

"I don't know how to be without them," she says after a moment, finally looking over at him. "It feels dangerous. It makes me feel like I can't defend myself."
