It's not that Steve is a glory hog, far from it. He's perfectly aware of his own capabilities, and pushes himself to be better, faster, stronger, through what seems like pure willpower alone, because nobody's that naturally gifted. Any natural talents he lacks, he makes up for in determination, working at it, training every day, until he gets it right. And sure. There are things he lets slide, considers a waste of resources for him to know; there are plenty of things he's not the best at, not perfect at, plenty he's competent with, and a whole slew he's got no idea how to do at all --
But none of that is visible on first approach, and it makes for a formidable impression.
Which is why she's got nothing but respect for the rest of Five-0. She loves the guy, but he can be a handful to deal with, and it's true that they must all be exceptional to even have made it on his radar, either in fact or in potential. he's not running them over; they're holding their own, and she thinks it must be a good thing, for him and for them.
No matter how rocky it probably was at first.
They'll never find a more loyal partner, that's the other thing. She hears the tone in his voice when he talks about his team; the affection mingled with proprietary pride. Heaven help the Governor or outside force that actually tries to split them up.
