ISLA
"You are coming across as very cocksure, Remi. It isn't a good look on you," Isla says quietly, folding her hands in her lap. "The rest of us down here on the ground don't have the privilege of hulking strength and speed and immortality. And whether or not you were given time to tell me, I would still be left with dozens of burned buildings and hundreds of homeless, traumatised citizens waiting for you to come back."
They are beginning to rile each other up all over again, and the silver points in Isla's cheeks betray as much. "It is none of my business, how things are between you two. Especially when it comes to my job," she reminds him. "If being angry at Nate is more important to you right now, then by all means go and find him and tell him how you feel. But please don't get your hackles up because I'm not acting exactly the way you'd like me to."
