"Hey -"

Steve's not about to let Henry just walk away that easily.

"You're done with Billy now. That was the deal."

He doesn't turn away. "That was the deal I made," he tells him.

You tricked me Henry hears in his mind.

He already knows the answer to that. He's going to save them. Save Billy again, if he needs to.

"And you can't come back in here after this."

Here being Steve's mind. That's what Trixie had said, right? If he revokes consent then Henry's back to being shut out.

That stops him a moment and he turns around with a grin. "So you can learn. That's right. I can't get back in...unless you let me."

And, as far as he's concerned, that voids the deal that they made anyway. The very vague deal he had no intention of following.

"Have a good day, Steve."

"I hope you fall overboard."

It's petty, but Steve means it. He knows that it doesn't mean they're rid of Henry forever maybe, but it would be so satisfying.
