I would offer to destroy it for you, but something tells me your manager would just find you a new one to wear.
[ his question makes her pause though, because she's not sure how much information he actually wants. so naturally, she goes with the light, condensed version. ]
No, I actually stole it when I left home, with the intent to fight in the first world war and kill my half-brother Ares in 1918. Ever since then, I've been wearing it as armor to protect myself when I try to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Yeah, and it'd come out of my paycheck. Maybe we can destroy it when I have more saved up. Or anything saved up...
[ To anyone else that might seem like a lot, but to Steve...it is also a lot, holy crap. But he can at least connect with the protect others part. Wait, Steve's fought interdimensional monsters, and played a part in Billy's death, and uncovered a scret Russian base with weird ass experiments on a portal to the Upside Down. It's not the weirdest story on second thought. ]
Huh, maybe I should get some armor myself, for some reason shit gets weird in Hawkins like once a year. Huge government conspiracies, secret bases, douches in suits up the wazoo. I punched a freaking russian dude till he passed out. Armor wouldn't hurt.
[ Wait, he can trust her right? Why'd he blurt this all out, and why can't you unsend a text? Oh well, she's totally fine, probably. Oh well, maybe Nancy would be proud that he's finally gone public with something instead of helping out the weirdo G-men. ]

Thanks, Di. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the hat though, covers up my best asset.
You get your uniform from work too?
