When nate went on to say it could be used to keep the other 27 experiments at bay perhaps- she wasn't complefly convinced since she had seen some of them and knew better. At the talk of new weapons, Maria frowned. Shifting her hand she had on Nate go hold his hand to be a bit more proper with the audience perhaps. "Well, good luck with that." She stated almost sarcastically getting a chuckle from Ave," Come on M- your not going to make me beg are you?" Maria pursed her lips with a struggle to not frown at her friend. "I was kicked out- why would I want to help?" She posed a good question making Ava nod with some understanding. "I get that. Belive me I do. We will talk later, yeah?" She hinted getting a brief nod from Maria, more to let her know Ava had other things to add into that request.

The general that spoke heard her sass and the woman’s face fell into a frown. She seemed to be contemplating how to word her answer, or so it appears to Nate. He stood by Maria, letting the woman think before she finally decided to speak. “The decision to expel you from the group was made in haste. While it was made with intentions and fear that had some valid concerns, it has done little to help our efforts. If Victoria is losing her right hand, we have come understand her reasoning might go with it…while I understand your hostility towards the movement. Consider that soon it might be necessary for everyone to get involved or we all with be at the end of hangman’s noose or dead…If she was willing to sink to the depths of depravity with what was done to Nathaniel…I fear what she’ll do when she gets her hands on any of us.” She said, making Nathaniel’s throat tighten as he squeezed Maria’s hand a bit too tight. The idea of her being harmed was impossible in his mind because of Victoria’s love for Dominick…but it didn’t mean that soon resentment wouldn’t fester for her lack of care for others. Love only reached so far before a person snapped… “Fair…but it’s Maria’s decision and we’ve survived long enough without extra support.” He stated and the woman gave him a raise of her brow. “Survival doesn’t matter. Winning is the only thing that can ensure peace at this point.”

When the woman went in to say it was made with 'valid' concerns bur it did them a little good. She scoffed lightly since, honestly, why would their main security mole being disregarded be a good thing? When she went on to rant a little and even commented in Nates- well upgrades, she felt him squeeze her hand a little too tight. She didn't wince or shy away from it since she knew he was uncomfortable with himself still. Maria heard Nates words, but the generals snap back made her frown. " Unlike you - that right hand Victoria is losing is my brother, and I will protect him from all of you. Stop dragging my family into more war. " A more quiet general stepped up, however, and spoke to her comment. " We are not the enemy, Victoria is!" He stated almost sympathetically, getting a fewnmore nods. Ava saw this was all going no where snd she sighed," All right, everyone, that's quite enough. Leave them alone. They know very well who the enemy is. " She stated, getting the talk to taper off. After a short bit, they left. Ava making sure she stated she would touch base with her later that night. ~~~~~~~ "Well, I can't say I'm too surprised that they expected you to make them more things." Stated Dom as he scratched his chin- a bit of stubble on it from not shaving in a few days. Maria frowned at that since he wasn't helping. " Yes, but they need them. That is the problem." Ava chimed in from the couch, her eyes on the tv watching the news. Dom knew Maria was slater with the resistance after all the hurtful things they said about her. " Maybe I can get my hands on some weapons..."Dom seemed to be thinking out loud getting a slightly surprised look from the room. He chuckled lightly at the looks. " What?" He asked getting a chuckle from Maria," Leave to you to bring up an impossible task."
