Magnus nodded in approval at her return, feigning to notice whatever microscopic change he didn't notice. Trained in observation efforts to notice small changes in troop movements and security measures at all times. But he wasn't on the job right now. When she took up a bite without ceremony, he joined in to take a bite of baby octopus. Thinking on her sentence for barely a moment, he blurted out an idea.

"Why not apply to become an Avenger? Flexible hours but its all unpaid overtime, great medical but every minute should be classified as hazard pay, lots of cool toys to qualify with that you never get to play with. Super powers have never been a requirement, just look at 'black' and 'hawk'."

Changing pallet he popped a bun in his mouth whole as she spoke, listening to the deepening spiral that flared all of a sudden, bipolar was in her paperwork and she had just been hit on a nerve. He held up a hand to wave off the hostess as he stood to pour her some water for her pill put a four fingered hand on her shoulder and push her back down to the chair. Firm, but not forced, she still had the chance to leave all the same as he tried to talk her down.

"Not to be crass, but it usually is the terrorists like AIM who hack superhero armors. Growth requires conflict, you became a better hacker and he upgraded his software, both of you got better from it. I didn't come to spy on you, I came to you cause you are the closest and the best for my mission to hand off the clipboard, the rest has just been fun. You may have stopped being Kode, but it was Kode who got shields attention to recruit Zandrea behind the mask..."

Mask, there was something to the big brother mask he would have to look a later. But for now he tried to bring her down to try and enjoy their lunch.
