"Oh come on, Kate," Nate said gently, but he kept his eyes on Eli. Jack Daniels on a pretty much empty stomach was not a good idea, but too late to back down now. "He just wants a word. You don't have to babysit us while we're talking."
Yeah, Eli looked big, bad and scary, but he was a superhero and Nate figured a good amount of 'protecting the weak' went along with that. Not that Nate was exactly weak, but in this crowd he was. And you had to be a pretty giant asshole to start a brawl with a guy you didn't even know in a room full of superheroes and people after the attempted invasion of Earth. Petty pissing contests kind of paled in comparison.
There was nothing to fear if they were just gonna talk.
