"He would never," she said, with a sharpness in her voice she didn't have before. It was one thing to question if he would use his gun or his abilities against people. It was entirely another to suggest he was attempting something that improper. "I can't read his mind, but all I've seen, all we've been through together - I trust him. Whether or not you believe otherwise and think badly of him is your own choice, but it doesn't change my own about him. I don't know what else you want from me."
Was she purposely antagonizing her at that point? It certainly felt that way. There was a tremble in her hands that were thankfully hidden by her dog's leash. Oliver seemed to be uneasy himself, though continued walking. She had rarely ever raised a voice around him.
"We hid things to keep me safe and let me have a normal life here that I could have never had back where I came from. That's all. It was my choice to save that woman, and I will live with those consequences," she continued, figuring now she honestly would be spreading things far and wide the way she kept trying to drag Booker through the mud. She might have deserved this suspicion, but it didn't mean she was going to like it. Especially not about a friend. "I knew it would come out eventually. For as long as I have been here, I've been waiting for it. So do what you want, I've survived worse than anything this city can do to ether one of us. If this conversation is over, I have things to do today."
