"So why'd you just wanna see me? You like me that much, baby?" "Eh, the other girl .... Yeah, sure, I like you better." "Pfffff, alright, smooth guy. What's the real reason?"
Eddie sat to Steven's left at the small dining table, leaning back in his chair, eyes closed. The laptop was streaming the conversation between his former henchgirl and one of the lower HYDRA underlings. This one had requested Query's presence, "Privately", indicating that "something big was happening."
"Got something big coming up, just wanted you for it. The other girl ... Listen, I know you worked with her a long time, but ... if you had to, could you work without her?" "....Sure, but why? "Well ... She's a little ... ethnic, yanno?"
Next to Steven, Eddie's eyes opened abruptly, and his neutral expression turned ... cold.
"...You mean because she's Spanish?" "Yeah, but don't give me that look, it's not me, I don't care, but some of the higher ups? Eh, they got their preferences, yanno?" "...Yeah... sure..." "And what with the stuff that's going down next week? They're making sure they only have the people they REALLY want."
