Steve listens, he really does, and he’s realizing all of a sudden that he’s learning a lot about Morgana. How as a child, she needed to steal pants, presumably because she wasn’t allowed to wear any as a woman. How the more she talks, the more she sounds like a free spirit and someone whose personality has been constrained by the time and place she was born, and Steve feels a certain kind of sympathy with it all. And then there’s Gwen — he’s guessing it’s short for Gwendolyn — a woman lower in class but who Morgana still considered a friend.

Steve already knows that if he had been transported back into her time, his life would be short-lived. Even here in the Alpha Complex, he expects IntSec to bust into his apartment at any moment and take him away. But hadn’t the Computer known his values when she recreated him? Why give him these memories or these convictions, if she didn’t want him to use them?

“Listen,” his voice is firm, when he speaks. Like he’s telling her not to question what he’s about to say next. “Morgana.” He squeeze her hand back, and brings his other hand over to place on top of hers. “I’ll never be Gwen, but the next time you have a nightmare and wake up, call me. It won’t matter what time.” He’ll come and sit with her until it passes. Until she can sleep again.

“And if you feel comfortable, I would tell Barry.” There aren’t many ORANGE level specials, so Steve knows exactly who she lives with. “I trust him, and I’m certain he’ll want to help, if you’re willing to let him.” Given what’s happened, Steve also wants to give Morgana an out. She doesn’t have to call him if that brings her pain. But he needs her to know that her support system in this place is a lot bigger than she realizes.
