Since deciding to include Karen, he's been working on the assumption she would want to be involved. Given what he's learned about her, John doesn't expect her to be the sort of person to shy away from hard, potentially frightening work, he had known almost from the start that she would want to help. So it isn't a surprise when she says they can count on her, but it does cause something to twist in him, some little part that had been hoping she would say no.
It isn't that he doesn't trust her or that he doesn't think she can handle herself, but it's exactly what he had been thinking before. This changes everything. It changes who he gets to be with her, it changes the person she'll see him as, it changes which parts of him he can hide and which he can't. He can't just be John Reese, former CIA any longer. Now he's John Reese, primary asset.
Maybe she doesn't see it that way yet, but he's sure she will. Especially once she sees him working.
"You'll have to come see our secret base now," he says with a small smile. "Harold's taken over an abandoned warehouse and I have a feeling he's been draining money from the Seo family."
