As if she needed the instructions to continue running... except she did. It didn't keep her from glowering at Markus briefly as her eyes shifted over to him when she turned back and kept pace with him. She wasn't even going to snap a retort at him, just letting that annoyance briefly flash across their network, before she matched his urgency and then exceeded it until it looked like she was the one tugging him along.
She turned back again when they reached the scrapyard, sensor systems searching for their pursuit by any means. North held her place when Markus created an opening for them, resisting his efforts to usher her through the access point into the heaps of discarded metal and other things. It wasn't her stubbornness that had her hold up, but the realization that they had outstripped the humans and needed to make sure they were seen entering the yard. To keep the others safe.
93 counted down across their shared connection, North refusing to budge until it hit zero. At 13, the sound of a drone was heard over encroaching sirens. At 7, it flew into sight, spotlight searching along the span of the fencing. And then she bolted through the opening, knowing the drone was focused on finding them and not the other androids.
