I tried to tie up a lot of loose ends in this story, and I was bothered about having overlooked original Pike's obsessions with Orions, so I felt obligated to find an explanation *G*
You made me think about Pike, great! So here my meta: I think Pike takes Barnett's anti statement as homophobia because he identifies as gay (strongly, and I'll get into that in the next sequels). Pike doesn't identify as poly and he isn't really, it's more that the poly happened by getting involved with Kirk and Bones and all else develops from there.

Hope you'll like chapter 3 :)
