I'm glad you liked it; it was fun to extrapolate backwards to how Steve might have been as a younger (but still crazy SEAL, though really, they're all nuts.) And Catherine, too--I have a soft spot for her and her Intelligence background. I'm so sorry for the delay in replying; I got sucked into a mad dash for an SPN Big Bang posting date and I'm only just getting caught up, but thanks so much for the comment!
