[It's not like the Hulk could have fit through a door but it would have saved... yep, okay, right, okay. That was clearly a superfluous wall anyway, no one is going to miss it. When she follows after him, she sees the generator for the first time.
Branching veins of shielded yellow, like deadly neon lights welded to the ceiling, form a complicated system moving away from the center of the room where all the electricity they haven't been getting back is being visibly fed into an incongruously basic inertial confinement fusion device, which Betty mostly recognizes from their work decades ago.
Like someone who is not very good at self-preservation, she goes around the Hulk and right up to the apparatus, trying to make sense of the design. She could really use her expert partner on this one, but he's a little busy being the reason they made it here in the first place, and also the only reason she's not flipping out.]
Hold on, don't- Don't smash it yet.
[The sound they've been hearing is very audible and probably coming from the reactor chamber as a laser ionizes the gaseous fuel. The whole thing is smaller than you'd expect for something meant to cover a space the size of the assembly room, but the twists and turns in makeshift piping leading away artificially extend the field's range by physically guiding ionized gas to multiple points along a guiding energy mesh. One story above them, the additional energy fully transitions the raw materials into the plasma state of the repelling energy field. Not that Betty can do more than guess at that part - they only have the ICF portion in the room.
The generator itself is safe enough if no one tries to taze the chamber or something, although you probably don't want to hang around it too long anyway. The thing in the room is one solid dose of energy short of a bomb, purely as a side effect of generating the energy field upstairs. Whoever set this up was a moron and a genius and probably took over a month just sneaking in tubing.]
Give me a minute, okay?
[Maybe they can just... unplug it? Turn off the gas source? It's a beautiful machine, and also there is the very small chance it could explode.]
