[Was it his first name? His last name? Rachel is tempted to ask, but decides against it. One name is good enough to go off of, anyway. It's not like she dropped her name or costumed identity into the conversation. But that's right, Kaine, she hasn't recognized you at all.]
It's nice to meet you. I mean, as nice as possible, given the circumstances.
[She has noted his hesitation, though, and she knows that look. You don't do villainous things without knowing that look.]
I don't know your story, but I was with S.H.I.E.L.D. for only a brief amount of time, and I'm not exactly with them anymore. If you have secrets, you have nothing to worry about from me.
[Because it was best to get that out in the open. They didn't really know each other, and given the circumstances, they may need to trust each other, and they couldn't do that if he thought she was out to get him for whatever reason.]
Trust me, I tried being no one once. It wasn't long before I was pulled back in to being someone. Once you're someone, obscurity is difficult to achieve.
[She indicates the space around them, then.]
Granted, I wish this was less obscure. I tried hacking the computers earlier - and I'm not much of a hacker - but I didn't get any information beyond going to see an overseer. Or The Overseer. I'm not clear on the details, but I don't like the name Overseer much.
[It's a little too Big-Brother-is-Watching, isn't it?]
I don't suppose you have any ideas on what's going on?
