efflations: (a fleeting moment of seriousness)

[He hadn't thought of that possibility. That Ms Agnes might be targeted because people would want to hurt Sky High. Maybe this is the point where he should call it off so that can never become a problem. It's what happens in stories most of the time, the hero distancing themselves from a loved one to protect them.

But he doesn't want to do that. And it's not as though doing that would mean he didn't care what happened to Ms Agnes. Even if they'd never reached this point, he would still hate to see her placed in harms way. The same goes for anyone in the city. It's not hard to find hostages to use against the heroes if that's what a criminal wants to do. Ms Agnes may honestly be safer than most, spending a lot of her time around the heroes as she does.]


I am. It's my job to protect everyone in the city, no matter who they are. That won't ever change.

I don't mind if people start paying attention to Keith Goodman. I'll be fine if that happens.

[He may not be too eager for his true identity to start drawing attention - it's good to be able to step away from the public eye sometimes and just be another face in the crowd - but it won't be anywhere near as much as what Barnaby has to put up with and he can manage just fine.]

But you'll be the one who might be in danger if people find out about Sky High. It's your choice. I... won't push if you think it's a bad idea.

[As much as he may hate the idea of giving up now he doesn't have the right to endanger Ms Agnes if she thinks it's too much of a risk.]
