The middle of the Crain children doesn't mean to stiffen up when those arms go around her. She'd gotten a bit better at this type of thing, but the only one she could stomach touch from was Trish. Someone who wasn't even there. Though, her brother had also startled the ever loving hell out of her.
After a moment she wraps her arms around him in turn, doing her best to get her breathing back under control. To make herself relax, if only a little. Enough to make sure that he was alright. "I don't know how, Luke. I just got here. Came through... I don't know what, but I heard you." Or maybe she'd heard an echo of him. Honestly? she wasn't sure.
