Jack tries to keep his tone casual. "I've gathered enough to know that Bruce doesn't want to talk about it and," nods towards the Captain, "that he wouldn't exactly be the most reliable narrator of events."

And then Jack gets that protective look on his face, and pitches his voice down. "Yes, the Other Guy is along for the ride, but very few people on board know he exists, even fewer have figured out that he and Bruce share headspace. And I've worked really. hard. to make sure that it stays that way. So far as most people on board know, he's just a really hard-working doctor. He deserves a chane to be treated like everybody else."
