Why does Steve sounds so dismayed? Adia looks at him in genuine confusion bordering on frustration. It suddenly dawns on her that it wasn't mere happenstance that his life as a superhero never came up in their conversations. He was keeping that side of himself from her on purpose.

Caspar, meanwhile, calmly pulls out his PINpoint and brings up his calendar app. "Why don't you pick a good time, then?" he says, offering it to Steve. His gaze is as unrelenting, albeit glittering in irritation. "If you know something, Steve, I'd like to know it, too."
