[Purely from a day-to-day perspective, Betty lives an ordinary life; by her book, this is all pretty freaky and having to think things through before reacting isn't helping. She's grateful to have Bruce with her, but at the same time, there's a part of her that wishes she only had herself to risk, that his presence wasn't forcing her to think this through. Having the time to grow afraid isn't really something she's interested in, when, in the end, there's no way she isn't going to snoop. It just makes her antsy. (She may be holding on to Bruce's hand a little more tightly than she'll later admit.)
They don't meet anyone along the way, but that would have been expected a few minutes ago. A few minutes ago, they had been counting on it. What if, Betty's lizard brain offers up, someone else had been counting on it too? because it's too quiet - for a given value of quiet - for a blackout when someone should be panicking, and, when they reach the double doors, there's a warm yellowish glow coming through the cracks.]
... Ominous. Ten bucks, we missed the Rapture, and twenty on alien abduction in progress.
[She somehow gets her hands on the door handle first, but she looks to him instead of cracking it open, seeking his eyes in the dark. Better stop her now if ever, Banner.]
