[ This isn't her Wash, she knows it intellectually. But her heart is slower to catch up, to realize that the person who fought side by side with her to stop Felix and Locus is not the one who is standing between them and Maine. This isn't her friend.
Taking care of people isn't something she's good at. She's avoided being in charge of anything she cares about for a long time. Solo missions were easier, the only one who would get hurt was her. Now though... she can hear that stress in North's voice and puts a hand on his shoulder before stepping up. ]
Go take a walk, both of you. I don't care what you think of me right now, Washington, if you have a problem we will discuss it later when there won't be innocent people caught in the crossfire.
[ If he still wants to fight her she'll have to find a way to take him down before anyone gets hurt. And if she does that she knows it will be impossible to salvage any of his trust. But she'll do it. ]
