Yeah, you definitely saw that implicit trust. Ben had no clue what Kevin would or could do, but he knew no matter what, Kevin would get the job done. Much as Ben isn't taking the lead the way he did in AF, all three of them are acting as a single unit, showing how much they've come to trust each other and how close they are. No matter what you ship, you can't deny that it's a strange, special bond among them.

Said Superman to Batman once: "You know, Bruce, you're not always right." I thought that very thing when Gwen had to apologize to Kevin.
