“Mechanics, too,” he cuts her off, “for your Baby, or whatever’s left of her once you drive her through the wall or whatever,” and she rolls her eyes, like he knew she would;
“I’m nowhere near as bad as you, and we both know it;”
“Whatever, Maxie,” he tells her with just that note of indulgence that he knows will piss her off, and then tacks on; “I dare you to come back less banged up than me;”
He eats his words when she comes back with a gouge on her forehead for his bullet-to-the-chest, and hey, that’s more than fine; and hey she can do concerned without fury, if only for a minute, if only until a few X6s tell her there’s no immediate danger, he’ll be fine -- he’d wanted her safe, and that’s what she was
