This was not going at all how it needed to. She wasn't too far to read his mind, but she was so frazzled by being negated and so irritated that they had sent her of all the collectors to trail a fucking power negator that she wasn't at all prepared for the thought of someone else coming to save him. She hadn't heard that at all.
So when she was hit from behind and knocked into the negator's range, and then her throat was expertly held onto and choked so she couldn't reply. She struggled, trying to rip herself away but the way he said his words caused her pause. Better if she didn't fight. Well, shit. She stopped struggling in hopes that he would stop choking her.
Holding her hands up, she waved frantically, a signal of I GIVE UP! so he would stop choking her. But without the air and with how much she had been panicking and out of breath before, it wasn't long before she passed out cold.
