[Rey thinks of the time that she managed to push back, to pry into his mind and learn of his fear that he would never be as strong as Vader. The difference is that he's already been in her mind, and though she knows the layout of the base, the Resistance is well prepared for any chance that bringing Ren here could mean that they'd have to move.
They already removed the tracker from his belt, after all. That made them aware that there might be something else to look for.
She rises up just the same, because while he could hurt her, the walls in her mind are well-fortified compared to what they had been on that day they first met. She's more prepared for this.
As she draws closer, her eyes move over the scar on his face, and she knows that she did that to him. The fight had been different from all the altercations she had on Jakku. It had been desperate and filled with rage. It's not that Rey hasn't been frustrated or irritated when she's fought before, but on Jakku, there was a system in place. If she fought, it had a purpose, and often, on both sides, it wasn't personal. That fight was, because he might have destroyed Finn's life when he cut him down, and she might have lose her only friend.
Her brows knit together as she stills and meets his eyes expectantly. Her mouth remains closed, as it's time for him to speak and to give her answers.]
