[ Doing the dishes calms her down sometimes, because she can focus on other things, but she knows he's right. But she stares at him for a moment when he asks her that question and presses her lips together, tiredly, and looks to the pile of broken dishes. ]
It's no good. It causes more harm than it saves lives.
[ She quickly pulls her hand back, which ends up in being an elbow to the table. And that table flies across the kitchen and smashes against the wall - Benny covers her head and protects Eyes's body with hers, out of reflect. She then stares at the mess, back at him and makes a defeated face. She needs to get a part-time job to repay damages... ]
Don't, huh... Try not to... touch me. I don't want to hurt you.
[ Oh, don't cry! She seems to panic a little bit, but she doesn't want to break his tiny bones, so she looks around as if to find something to cheer him up god Red take care of your son-thing I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE A MOTHER. She's freaking out quietly. ]
Oh, nononono. No. No, no. Don't cry. Please don't cry! I didn't mean to make you, huh, to make you scared.
[ Sitting awkwardly and trying her hardest not to move. ]
I'm-- sorry I didn't mean to, it, hm, just happened, I was, just, it happened. [ She fidgets a lot and is currently staring at her hands, with her chest rising and falling because she's so damn nervous. Thanks, kid. ]
I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do any of this it just happened, it just happens, it's the way this stupid thing works.
But I am calm. [ Not exactly, but she's not going to start smashing things up. ] I just-- I'll break everything I touch. [ Fidgets, looks at her feet. ]

[ And that's the one she hates the most, too. Super-strength. She slumps her shoulders, kind of defeated. ]
Maybe I shouldn't be doing the dishes, huh?

[walks into the kitchen and stares at all the destruction and panic before rushing over to Eyes, wrapping her arms around him.]

[Looks at her again.] It's okay, Benny. [makes sure they establish eye contact.] It's not your fault. Try to calm down, honey.
