"I'll be right back!" Molly shouts at Nico, and takes off after Howard. Sure, he might be a jerk, but he totally dove under there like Chase or Victor would, getting a look at what he needs to do to fix it, and now he's off and if he's asking her to come he probably needs help.

Or just for her to punch anything that tries to eat him. That might be it, too.

"Hey, you know," she tells Howard as they run, "after we're done not dying? You better stop calling me Hat Girl."
