Yes, I mean it. If you tell me what all this is for. It's nothing personal for me either, but blindly following around someone who once tried to recruit me for his supervillain team isn't really my style, and I don't want to do anything Johan wouldn't approve of, either.
[That last one wouldn't normally be a concern. Typically, Nina doesn't make her decisions based on what Johan would or would not want. But it seems important today, for some reason.]
