Kate didn't need special superhuman powers, echolocation or whatever tag might be close to making justice to Matt's abilities. No, his pain is easy to see. She knows he surely doesn't hold any grudges towards Heather or Kirsten over how they walked away. He's enough of a good guy to know when to put himself in other people's perspective. To understand how insane this all sounds.
Pissed off as she might be with him right now, why would she leave his side when she just had the scare of her life about losing him? About losing another friend to a gunshot. Another friend being stolen away.
"Yeah, the not thinking much part I already guessed." And yet, Kate's tone shifts into something softer, her thumbs stroking Matt's knuckles. There's time to call him out for this bullshit, but as new as Kate is on the job, she knows that time is something they don't exactly have. Specially if Matt has outted himself to Vanessa Fisk, letting her know that he knows.
"Okay, so what's the next step? Do you want me to go after Kirsten and insist on her getting..." She shrugs. "Whatever file or thing you want from her? Do you want me to talk to Cherry? I-- Matt!" Again, he was trying to get up. Kate grabbed him by the bicep, trying to hold him in place. "Hey. Hey, stop this. I know you think you're Superblind, but you need to take a fucking minute now."
