The moment she sees his face, she inhales sharply. This...man? Robot? Thing? Whatever he is, has thoroughly ensured that her defenses are up. Because robots? She can deal with. People? She's fairly certain she can deal with. But a physical blending of the two? She doesn't know and she doesn't want to know how Aperture (because she's certain he came from Aperture, who else would do something like that?) made something like that.
Chell looks over her back, checking how far down she'll have to go. And really? She's pretty sure that she had bigger jumps at the training facility, not to mention the fall into old Aperture had farther than this and she survived that. With a glance down at her boots to muster her courage, she turns around and jumps.
The way she falls is deliberate. Knees slightly bent and feet first, almost as if she was jumping off of a platform and not one of the tallest buildings in downtown Detroit. Her shirt flaps around her and if anyone had wandered into the alley below to watch would have gotten an eyeful as she approached the ground.
Once she lands, she glances up at the roof that she jumped from, more than certain that he won't be chasing after her and allowing herself a small, real smile. She's free.
And if he wants to take her back to GLaDOS or to whatever testing facility he'll be dragging her to, he'll have to kill her.
