[He clearly doesn't know who she is, which is (a) concerning and (b) enough to make her slow down a few feet away instead of coming right up to him. There's a lot of reasons he might not remember her. He's clearly younger, and she's heard that at least a few people were experiencing memory problems in addition to age change. It could also be because he just ran into a solid object at superspeed and gave himself a concussion.
The way he retreats slightly when she moves toward him makes her take her own step backwards to give him some space. The best she can do now is soften her approach and try to seem non-threatening. Which isn't exactly difficult, given that her teenage self does not cut a physically-imposing figure.
When she starts talking, her voice is gentler.] Are you okay? You hit the wall pretty hard, there.
