It was pure instinct: the explosion threw Booker off the rooftop, and Elizabeth leapt after him.

She was already running calculations – speed, trajectory, mass. She wasn't strong enough to hold Booker up if he was dead weight, but she knew where the sky-lines were and if she was fast enough —

She caught his sleeve by her fingertips. Slipped.

She caught his arm.

Then Elizabeth activated Booker's sky-hook.

Gravity reasserted itself hard. Booker's arm took their weight with an audible crack as they jackknifed towards the sky-line, but he'd live to complain. For now, all that mattered was that it worked.
