She half expects to light up herself, to feel the fire and heat of Extremis flaring alive at the rush of adrenaline flooding her veins, but other than a fleeting flicker of red-orange across the backs of her hands (that she can see), she detects none of it. Strange. A slightly hysterical hiccup of laughter burbles at the back of her throat at the utter ridiculousness of Tony's less than decent state in the wake of their hurry to take cover. ]
No, I'm fine, [ she assures him on a heavy breath that's almost a huff of amusement, shaking her head. ] Tony, what... what was that?
[ The sudden light show, not the impromptu banging. She was very present and involved in that. ]
