"I'm not telling you your future, Doctor." She frowned at the monitor rather than looking up at him. "If I tell you where, you'll be warned away, and won't that cause a paradox? An' that's not gonna help when we're already dealin' with one, right?" She did glance up briefly at him, then. "Or you'll just...not avoid it when y'could, and maybe if I hadn't told ya, you would've avoided it. I'm not gonna be the one t'cause it."
Her reasoning was a bit...Matrix, granted, but all she knew about what she could and couldn't do with time was what she could cobble together with what the Doctor told her, what Jack remembered, and what tidbits she could find. It wasn't ideal. It wasn't even acceptable. But it was the only thing she or the universe had, until she could get the Doctor back.
And she was, obviously, flat-out ignoring the fact that her reasoning meant it was already her fault just for crashing into him and influencing his history at all.

"So just...stop asking."
