Sucking in a breath, Steve held it for a moment and then let it out in a huff as he nodded. This was not the type of situation he wanted to find himself in. He had no issue ordering criminals around, or even Mary, but having to order Connor to go against his programming not to reveal who he was... Even though he was trying to do it in the best interests of Connor, it still rubbed him wrong and made him feel mildly nauseated.
"All right. When you do, please don't hesitate to bring them to my attention. I'm a bit out of my depth here and I want to make sure you're as comfortable as you can be."
With a tilt of his head, Steve huffed out another breath. "The light at your temple.... We're going to need to have a cover story for that. People will ask. And, we need to discuss what to do with you. You can stay with me during the day while I'm at work." He was fairly sure he could make Connor his partner without a lot of backlash. He'd done it with Danny after all and look how well that turned out. "The rest of the time though..."
Steve bit his bottom lip as he contemplated options.
