They can't keep us forever. [There's no small amount of determination in her tone. She's going to find a way out of here if it kills her.]
I volunteer at a clinic, and I live in a pretty rough area back home, so I keep my kit well stocked. Never know when you're gonna need to stitch up a couple of bullet wounds 'cause someone can't afford to go to the hospital.
[Not... even kidding. Though she'll usually get them to Leslie if she can.
As for the question about kids, Steph's expression darkens a little, and she focuses on the task at hand for a few moments to put her thoughts in order.] There was a bit of a mix up lately, something with the transporters that left a lot of people all the wrong ages. Usually there aren't quite so many kids but, yeah, it's still messed up. I tried to talk to one of the Initiative people about it, but I just got a spiel about how no one's forced to fight, as if that makes it better. 'Sure, let's send kids into a warzone, but they can hide at home base if they want! We're not total monsters!'
[....She stops, her expression a little embarrassed. Those were a lot of words (she just has a lot of feelings about kids).]
that does sound tempting :|a
