She laughs a little in relief when she realizes that he's kidding after all, then feels bad for both doubting him and ruining his joke. She should have taken her cue from Bucky, who has decided that this guy is not a threat and is quietly preening one of his wings, the other still extended around Adia.

"Sorry, I, um. I don't know much about police work." She sees the slump in his shoulders and thinks better of asking him more questions about his former profession. Except one. "Do you think you'd like to be a cop here? There's a police force... it doesn't do much yet, but it pays a salary."

His surprise makes her smile briefly. At least until he asks her how she got out of it. "It was when we were under Occupation. My neighbor was a member of the Resistance and a suspect in a bombing. They brought me in for questioning... I didn't know anything about the bombing, but my boyfriend at the time was a member of the Resistance, and I had been keeping the Nexus a secret, too."

She shifts a little under the protective cover of Bucky's wing. "Three -- that's the model who interrogated me -- she must have sensed that I was hiding something. She pushed and pushed. Told me that withholding information was a punishable offense. I was so scared. I thought I was going to crack... then, um. Then a Five came in and got her to leave. He dismissed me from questioning."

So maybe there was a good cop in this scenario after all. Her voice has gone rather soft at the end.
