The sigh of resignation was stifled before it could surface. Steve could play the game, polite and well-mannered and helpful. He wasn't exactly thrilled to get pulled into answering questions, but it didn't seem fair for Kate's friend to be left in the dark. It was why he'd answered the phone in the first place.
"This is Steve," he answered, thought better of leaving it that and smoothly added: "Rogers." His name carried weight, and he knew that. Normally he wouldn't take advantage of it, but if it could maybe help the woman on the phone trust him and what he told her? He was going to use every tool in his kit. "And she's alright."
He wouldn't lie and say fine, she wasn't, but she also wasn't injured and she wasn't in any danger now that she'd made her way to him. So she was okay.
"It sounds like she just overdid it a little and needed to rest." Where, was none of Ororo's business unless Kate decided to make it so. Steve couldn't make that call.
