[ Steve makes a mental note to look up the information he had on the Umbrella Academy. He hadn't really bothered since his interest was in getting to know Rey, but he has questions and he doesn't feel like he can really ask Rey about them right now. It's too early.
He simply smiles when Five releases his grip on his hand and lets his hand fall to his side. He definitely feel that slight tension break, so he takes it as a small victory that her brothers are going to trust that he doesn't have bad intentions toward their sister. He's honestly not offended that they were feeling him out, he's done similarly for his close friends that he thinks of as family. It's normal for them to be overprotective, just means Rey's family cares about her.
He carefully watches the interaction between Rey and her siblings. A lot of silent gestures, but even he could see they were all close. It was actually heart warming to witness. Maybe their adopted father hadn't messed them up as badly as he could have? Steve can't say for sure, he just knows from what he read of Reginald Hargreeves, the guy was not someone he would have saw eye to eye with had he been around when he suddenly surfaced after World War II. ]
Have a good evening, you guys.
[He tells her brothers in turn, when one of them speaks directly to him. He only looks mildly surprised when they both vanish in a flash of blue light. Teleporters? He was really going to have to look at those records again. However that's for later, for now his attention is back on Rey. ]
You don't have to explain. I get it, they just want to make sure I'm not some jerk out to hurt their sister. It's sweet they care that much.
[ He offers up a smile as he walks over to her, closing the distance between them. Tentatively he reaches out and places a hand on her shoulder. ]
Why wouldn't I want to watch the movie? I came all this way after all.
[ His tone is joking as he urges her to turn around fully. ]
Really, it's okay. Overprotective siblings are not a deal breaker here.
