She's silent while they speak, shaking her head in a silent 'no' when Peggy asks her to sit, and then she briefly squeezes her eyes shut as she tries not to tear up at all the reassurance. She hasn't had a lot of places where she's always been welcome; her home was off-limit most of the time when her dad was home, the Cave has always been a case of how Batman - either one - felt about her at the time, Tim's parents tolerated her, but she was rarely allowed into his house. But she's welcome here, Peggy and Steve are her friends, and she ignores the tight feeling in her chest that comes with the reminder that this can't last forever. Now is enough, it has to be.
"Nothing," Nothing has happened, not anything more than what they're all dealing with.

It's hard to admit, and it isn't all that's upsetting her right now, but it's what a lot of it comes down to. She's scared, and she doesn't know what to do.
