[He may need to physically stop her from climbing all over the generator at some point, but she'll just take the interference for granted; she expects him or Bruce to watch her back and she's a little preoccupied trying to dismantle the set-up in her mind. Bruce would have worked everything out already; the way the lines fold back on themselves is as impossible for her to follow as the pathways of a circuitboard would be for an ant. Still, she's pretty sure Bruce could have done these energy balances in his head.
They could cut off the gas before it has a chance to ionize, but flooding the building with pressurized gas that could be anything isn't an option. There's also an opportunity to cut off the plasma before it reaches the auditorium. Like prescribed burning can be used to contain a forest fire, if forest fires could be directed by magnetic fields, they could split off the continuous plasma supply before it could encounter the (theoretical) energy mesh, and reasonably predict that it would flow... down through the gaping wound. So they would need to find...
Betty starts walking away from the generator, picking over rubble and following some of the thicker glowing tubing overhead which would have disappeared into darkness right away if the wall to the generator room wasn't an ex-wall. She points up at what would have been nondescript parts of the ceiling or even past the ceiling into what would be the next room over.]
There. I think. And there, and... there. [They're several meters apart.] At the same time. And then we need to go up... that way - away from the people.
[The space under the auditorium wasn't that close anymore but it was still unsupported to risk disturbing. That didn't leave many other options. They would need to get away immediately, maybe back up to the ground floor the direct way to avoid what was essentially the field, liquefied, flooding downwards. There wasn't any empirical evidence on how the Hulk could handle a rain of plasma (no data released on the weapons seen in Manhattan) and Betty certainly couldn't. But this far back in the building, a lot of the building was embedded right into the bedrock. It would be a risk no matter what. This way, there was no chance of a larger explosion.]
