I never outright said you were lying. I was in disbelief and stated in a casual way. [A very smooth reply if Rey does say so herself, her own little sly smile of satisfaction. She's had to go around in circles before with some of her colleagues, calling them idiotic or moronic without using the exact words....] It's still unbelievable he's real at times, the man and the hero combined.
[And she was dating both? No, she was dating Steve, not Captain America. Not unless she wanted to go back to her codename, but that life was over. She didn't have an interest in being a hero.]
We are striving to do better...[And not hide too much from each other? There would be somethings they would keep from each other, Rey especially. She didn't want anyone to worry--and she was stubborn as a mule, a shared trait between her and Five.] Which is why I'm waiting until after the third date to really talk about it to the others.
[Her eyes soften at both of her brothers. Yes, they were only looking out for her. They were able to have these moments with her, and she was happy to share this part of her life (something she never thought would happen) with them.]
I know. Don't think I'd be a good sister if I didn't make things a bit difficult for either of you. [Dragging things out, and making them promise to not roughen Steve up, or do a background check on him.]
It's on Friday, the day before he heads back. He was only in town for a week because of his work. [No need to tell them its at her place again. Though, they would know better than to pop in and try to stay long enough for Steve to show up again.] From there...don't know what'll happen.
I told him I'd like to visit New York one day. For him and the pizza. [There's a soft chuckle from her thinking back to the conversation Steve and her had over it. In thinking about that pleasant memory, she looked quite smitten.]
