Actually, I think Rebecca realizes the last thing she wants to do is rush out. If she does her father has every reason to bring her back. She may be an angsty teen, but she knows that it is more embarrasing having your father show up and tell you to come home than to miss the party entirely.
Yeah, that's always possible too. Being a teen is rough. It's got to be even worse when your dad has super powers. And pretty much every teen is embarrassed by their parents even when said parent is NOT hauling them home in front of their friends.
