She's setting quite a pace, too, eager to show Steve something really cool. "I'm not ignoring your limits, here. But you deserve to find out where those limits really are, same as the rest of us. Hell, you're going to do that with or without help. You said it yourself. Better if we've got your back."

"Besides, I'm sure this instructor knows what she's doing," Ghost comments hopefully.
