Gert, I mean she is your mom.
is it me or?? is my girl gert v self destructive when it comes to her relationship w chase like!!! throughout s2 she spent the entire time getting pissed off at chase for every litte thing he did, enlarging all their problems and!!! i get her being mad at chase for teaming up w the parents but during their ~break up~ scene, u could tell she was the one initiating it all and chase had no intent to break up w her
tbh i think she’s so scared of the concept of it all and still can’t wrap the idea over the fact that chase loves her so she’d rather ruin their relationship before even giving chase a chance to break her heart
in conclusion: bb girl is scared
i think she ends it because as she enters the room, she is so ready to be completely open with him. to be completely vulnerable, and give it her all. she’s been holding back, and kinda looking for a way out (ie school etc) because she was so scared of loving chase and that he would love her. leading up to him leaving in just what 24 hours? he basically was ready to move heaven and earth for her, was there for her sister, and was willing to do anything to make her better.
then he decided to leave, and not just leave, leave without telling her. no goodbye kiss, nothing. just up and leave. that line “you were always gonna leave” has been her biggest fear and now it seems to be coming true
so did she shut down again? put those walls back up? ofc. can you blame her? in a way no. chase leaving w/o saying bye was cowardly. who knows if that would’ve played out differently if he had explained it all to gert. maybe she would’ve gone along with it, maybe she would’ve gone with him, maybe she would’ve gotten everyone else on board. but leaving without a reason was cowardly, or at least giving one.
as if gert’s anxiety wasn’t already bad from everything being kidnapped and held against her will by her father, not knowing if her sister and friends are ok, is really gonna mess with her.
gert & chase in marvel’s runaways season 2
For future reference, we don’t really talk with our mouths full.
chase really goes from “im afraid to tell gert i love her” to “she’s an animal…..sexually…..” in like twenty seconds flat

We grant you immunity.
chase and gert made mistakes this season.
gert didn’t think of chase when she went to get her meds and had HIS mom sign her out
and chase didn’t think of gert really when he left.
they both love and care about one another, but they are learning, like both Ariela and Gregg said.
i am, in all honesty not worried. the only sucky part is
A.) waiting for s3
and
B.) when will s3 air.
gerts quiet “but i didn’t.. did i” actually broke me, because gerts all about epic freak out, but in that moment she is so thrown she can barely get the words out
A concept (that won’t happen) they were taping Chase when he was under the truth serum and Gert finds it and realizes he loves her….and she rescues him
Or what if while on the run, her father tells her about it, and it kinda helps her forgive Chase?
