I stare at him for a long moment, and there are about fifty different things running through my head right now.

"Look, I tell you this, you're going to want to help, 'cause much as you ham it up for the press, you're still a hero, Johnny, and I know a little something about how we think. We see a problem, we dive headfirst into it, and that holds doubly true when it's a friend's life on the line."
Yeah, that's me admitting we're friends. I really must be terrified.
"And I get that that's how the whole team thing's supposed to work, but I don't want it. I don't want your help, because when people try to help me, they usually end up either dead or in the hospital. So forgive me if I'm a little reluctant to share, okay?"
