Astrid listened to the Captain speaking, but it was hardly comforting. She knew everything that he was telling her already and she knew that she was capable of handling anything that they dished out. She'd make a great superhero. Confidence wasn't her issue at this point. She had thought it over and reminded herself that most of the others were humans and she should never feel inferior to humans. Fear was her only obstacle. She looked Steve straight in the eye with her brows pinched together as her expression grew serious. "I don't know if what I'm doing is right. Or safe. People like me... Mutants. This world isn't safe for us. I've heard and seen what the government and scientists do to mutants and now I'm involved with the most secret government agency in the world. They know my name, my face, where I live, and one third of what I'm capable of. What's going to stop them from turning me into a war machine?" The fear was in her voice now as she hugged her dog close, burying her face into the tan and black fur.
