"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐝𝐝." He said, his eyes narrowing as he peered at her suspiciously. She was too sharp, too quick. It was like she already knew what was going to happen before it even happened.
"What do you mean?" She inquired flatly, doing her best to mask the hint of fear in her voice.
"I'm not stupid. Something about you is off. Whatever you're hiding, I will find out".
Harry had become suspicious of Rae, and he was determined to figure out what she was hiding, even if that meant pushing her buttons and making her uncomfortable.
"I'm not hiding anything." She muttered, feeling on edge and nervous. She didn't want him digging too deep or asking too many questions. She knew he was smart and would be able to figure out her secret.
"Something about you doesn't add up. I feel like you know more than you're letting on," He said, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. Rae tried to keep her cool, but it was clearly troubling her.
"Like what?" She tried to play it cool, but the intensity of his stare was making her increasingly uncomfortable.
"Everything." He replied firmly, taking a step closer to her. He was determined to get to the bottom of this thing, despite her attempts to deflect.
"That's a very broad statement." She replied sharply, feeling defensive.
"Yes, but it's true. You know something, you do something. Everything is always going your way, and I know it's too good to be true. There's something you're hiding, and I'm going to find out what it is, whether you like it or not. I didn't keep your secret from the team for nothing,"
She had been so sure that Harry wouldn't find out she was a meta.
"What? Did you seriously think I wouldn't figure it out?" Harry's tone was incredulous, making Rae realize her mistake. "My tech is more advanced than anything on this Earth. You really thought you could hide behind Cisco and not get caught?"
In hindsight, Rae had thought she could get away with it, but now she knew she was wrong.
"What makes you think that I am hiding something? Maybe you're projecting your own flaws onto me?" She countered trying to appear calm and collected. She was hoping that she could still cover her tracks but Harry seemed insistent on uncovering her secret.
"Don't try to turn this on me. I don't know what you have been up to, but I will find out, I can promise you that much."
"Maybe I just have good luck. Maybe... I just know stuff. Could you stop harassing me please?" She said with an annoyed tone, trying to end the conversation.
Yeah... right." He replied, clearly not impressed by her defense or her sudden shift in attitude. If anything, it just made him more suspicious of her.
