[ That's an interesting piece of backstory, that she used to be emotionally volatile but has found her footing now. It really is all very mysterious and strange from the outside. But then, Harold himself is when he starts to open up, too. He'd be a hypocrite in the extreme to call her out on it -- and he really is only prying from a practical sense of concern. Heather can make her own decisions about what to talk about and when for emotional support.
He actually does know Dean and has it on good authority (a literal angel) that he's trustworthy on these matters, so Harold is at least a bit relieved to hear that. It does tell him instantly that it's something supernatural or Biblical in nature.
But it's his turn to share, not just hers. ]
I do know him and believe he's reputable in that area. An explanation isn't necessary to have my assistance, but I'm happy to listen to anything you wish to say, [ he answers, still in that gentler tone. ] Two of them are compatriots of mine from home, John Reese and Sameen Shaw, and another two who've agreed to work with us, Brandon Carver and David Bossie.
I'm confident Accelerator would help you as well, despite grumbling about it.
[ Harold includes him here deliberately because he's the only one on the list who can potentially match whatever strange supernatural matters Heather has going on. The rest of them are all bog-standard humans. Very capable and not about to bow out of protecting someone because the opposition might be more than they are, but Accelerator fills a gap in their abilities, and Harold is certain he has his measure on this score by now and could depend on him to help when asked.
Plus, Heather is still young enough to qualify as not-an-adult, which he has a huge weakness toward protecting for reasons Harold well knows. ]
