U know, this might sound harsh and Reed is a character I don't usually go "He'd never do so and so!" for cus I think he's a bit of a dick, but... That's not how I see Reed. At all. Reed respects boundries. He respects his friends. If it belongs to Ben, he would let Ben decide. He would go on and on endlessly though about what it all means and why Ben must decide one way or the other but I think he'd respect Bens choice. Perhaps a bit begrudgedly. And Sue would point out that he's being rude. And Ben would respect and trust Reeds intellect and do as Reed says. It's probably a moot point though since he'd probably have given it to Reed previously anyway.
