As he'd hoped, the implied statement that Steve was okay made her relax slightly, though she still looked concerned. For him. He was touched to realize it; he didn't remember interacting all that often with her, was pretty sure he'd spent more time covering for her and Steve than hanging with the two of them.
Then again, who knew. Maybe they'd had long, deep conversations and he just didn't remember.
"Rumour has it Schmidt is looking for an alliance with a guy named Vandal Savage," James told her. "Phillips said you were the one to talk to. What can you give me?" Hopefully one of her connections in the Resistance or the other Allied Forces would have something that could point them in the right direction.
