[ Spoiling her about the future? Curious turn of phrase but one she can parse easily enough from context. She shakes her head. ]
Time doesn't seem to behave the way we think it does, not here. If the Natha are to be believed, we've all been plucked from our homes before the Storm, which means β [ And here, her voice softens a little; he is a child, after all. ] β there's no going back. What I know about who I become, or became, is of no consequence.
[ She already knows that whatever future exists after hers, whatever year Steve Rogers is from, she no longer is. That's a hard thing to swallow. ]
That said, [ she continues after a moment, ] I would appreciate it if you kept my war record and profession to yourself. No one here knows β apart from Captain Rogers, of course β and I would prefer to keep it that way. Do you understand, Mr Parker?
