Serina was getting ready for the moment. She was in the house of lords and no one knew her secret...yet. If so this meeting would have gone differently with the tower of London now having been blown up. People were starting to get worried...truly worried. Some were even thinking of giving in the demands of the terrorist. It was strange because it seemed she would actually have to
With the growing unrest it was a difficult situation at best. Bran and the kids made her life bearable even knowing there was a worldwide threat. Sentinels threatened every day. At the moment they were mostly secluded to America and she always did her best to send secret aid to the those she could find in need. It got harder and harder each day especially since even her fellow house of lord members were scared. If there was one thing that brought out the worst in people...that close minded cruel mentality that always happened when people were more afraid then understanding. She went over to the braddock manor, already having put supplied of food and other necessities for all the teachers and kids holed up there...She sighed as she did what she could to protect her family and sent help where she could. Once she got the gate she went to the first person she could find to make her delivery and check up on everyone. In Parliament she'd do what she could to make sure R1's demands were seen for what they were and that all the work for mutant equality didn't go to waste.

The flight was going to be quick as she had her armor removed and her bruises and cuts looked at to see if any were serious, which they weren’t and after that she was presented with clothing. She looked at all the articles. She had given a pass on the regular dress clothing and went with a naval uniform. It brought back memories of when she had first been out of her initial training and put into the United States Navy for deployment options. She checked her status in the Navy and saw that Darius had updated her rank to that of a commander. That was a nice sentiment and she chose the dress uniform with correct rank insignia. After getting dressed and attaching the rank devices she was ready. She didn’t like the high heels but they were part of the uniform so she wore them. The dropship she used was modified into a sort of home with a way to dress for different missions and regular clothing. Once they had received permission to land she would be escorted from the landing area to the House of Lords. It was a standard vehicle and while it made her nervous she sat still in the back. Her headgear in her lap as the ride was quick. The woman that would take lead on this was one Serina Adama. A seasoned member of Parliament and from all details very passionate and driven. A worthy adversary in her opinion. It was to bad she wasn’t a warrior. That had always been a disappointment when it came to things such as this. She would savor this though as the woman she was going to face had courage. That was always something she liked in people. Courage to act when it wasn’t a popular idea.

Serina sighed knowing R1K was coming to the house of lords to talk. More rhetoric and fear. She hoped she could find a way for people to see beyond the fear that was being offered. Even in America one of the founding fathers had the right idea. She forgot which one (OOC: player knows it was Benjamin Franklin lol )but from her time in America she'd never forget the phrase that went around her head and circled over and over "Those who sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither" She hoped that idea if she could put it eloquently in her own way would get through to everyone's head. She waited R1K to speak.

R1K was amazed at the amount of security and it wasn’t for her it was to ensure she behaved. She couldn’t blame them. Her actions had dictated this response and she would answer for her actions but she wouldn’t apologize. They were harboring terrorists and allowing them to call it a social club for the wealthy. That didn’t cut water with her and their citizenship status didn’t stop her from pursuing enemies to the country that had given her life and purpose. It was nice to see they took her seriously and that meant she would listen.
As she exited the vehicle the security seemed surprised that the creature they feared was a woman who looked nearly normal. The fact was soon reinforced when she put on her headgear(hat) and the metal arm was seen. This stiffened the resolve of the security. She smiled graciously at them and allowed them to escort her the secure area just inside for a search. She submitted easily enough and even took off her arm to allow examination of it.
“As I’ve said I have come unarmed. No Sentinels or bodyguards. I’m entrusting my life and safety to you.”
They finished and she was escorted to wait until she was called. She hated waiting but it was one of the necessities when coming to places like this. They had to discuss what they wanted say and what tactics they would use to leverage people into do as they wanted. She was above those baser things. She had s mission and she would ensure it was completed and then she would liquidate all assets. That was the idea.

Serina saw that she came alone which to her didn't say much. She had no idea what was known about the Braddock manor or her involvement, or more importantly who she was and what she could do. She was Bolt. Plain and simple. She owned that but especially now she couldn't let it be known that her and her husband were mutants. She sat back and made sure she didn't draw attention to herself and tried to calmly watch and listen as the event unfolded. Everyone knew she was on the side of equality but they didn't know why. At least for the time being...she hoped it would be kept like that

R1K was going to make this simple to the assembled people. They had s terrorist faction that hid under the guise of s social club. They had carried out operations in New York and once they had their base there burnt to the ground they came back here to hide. She would share he evidence and intelligence with them freely but if they mentioned stopping her operation she wouldn’t have that. She was extraditing terrorist who had committed acts of violence against the United States. They would be taken back.
“I have this for you. It’s information and intelligence on the terrorist grouping who hides behind the guise of a social club. I’m sure it is a social club to its surface members but it goes deeper. I offer it freely. I only offer it to Serina Adama. She is the one person I will speak with.”
She was heard and looked at Serina and waited for her to take the usb drive from her hand.

Serina was shocked and saw everyone looking at her when she heard her name come from R1k's mouth. To her she was a terrorist and it was ironic to Serina she that they were being called the terrorists. She looked to R1K, hoping this had nothing to do with the school, and she held out her hand to take the USB drive "I take it you want to speak to me alone?" She said wondering what was on the usb.

R1K waited patiently as they were taken to a private chamber and once everyone had departed she decided to level with the woman. She knew a great many things and that went along with associations that Serina had cultivated over the years. She would be forthcoming with what her goal was today.
“Now that we are alone and I’m sure the listening devices are playing. Which will not be able to hear either of us in a minute.”
She removed her lipstick from her purse, which had been throughly search, and pressed the bottom of it and now they were truly unable to be heard.
“That is intelligence I have gathered on people, mainly extremist groups, who are poised to move against British holdings within the next few months. I give it freely to you. This will not only advance your career but in turn give you a certain leverage with your colleagues.”
She waited s moment then smiled, pour a glass of water, and set it down.
“You’re welcome.”
She took a drink and returned to business at hand.
“This concerns my operation here which is concluding as we speak. I have hit a known terrorist faction. That is the vaunted Hellfire Club. I have only taken the the members known as terrorist and released all others unassociated with the crimes committed on American soil.”
The glass shook and the lights flickered informing R1K that they had detonated the bomb in the deepest reaches of the club which was now a crater. She looked at her.
“That issues has been rectified and anyone of them you may request extradition back to the United Kingdom. The only one I won’t give back is Emma Frost. She contains intelligence on agents of her’s in the US. Until I’ve found them all she stays.”
She took another drink of water.
“The final thing is my thanks to you. The lessons learned at Muir were paramount to this conversation taking place. Your association with Excalibur is not forgotten but I have the olive branch so to speak. I delivered my message to the leader at Excalibur before coming here and it was accepted. This is the one thing you want to hear and deliver to the rest of your waiting colleagues. I will leave the U.K. and not come back. That means you have to ensure that mutant terrorist of U.K. origin don’t attack the US. Once you have given me assurances I will sign whatever document you wish to seal this deal.”
She finished her water and was very serious about everything. Yes she knew Serina was a mutant and that was her secret to reveal.
“Amongst the data on the USB is a way to contact me.”

Serina sighed. SHe had no idea what to say at first as she felt as if she were selling "I know you feel what you are doing is right, though I will admit I do not understand the need for such control" Serina said with a sigh. She didn't want to upset Rhona and nodded "I mainly want members of the X-Men, those that tried to fight against the actual terrorists, and the Sentinels sent away and never used again. I do understand one thing and even agree- there are bad mutants out there. But you need the good ones like us to fight them as well instead of the sentinels. " Serina looked over the USB and when she said hellfire club she nodded "I agree that they should be detained, though we should be in touch as part of this so that we can make arrangements for more local authorities to handle them as well if you are amicable to that" she said in hopes. She felt sad when talking about Muir island as she remembered visiting Rhona there "I had hoped when you were there this conversation would never have to happen. You know...I think you know most of us are just trying to live our lives and I know people are afraid. I'm hoping this conversation can help a lot of that. " she said truthfully as she took a sip of her own water. "I suppose we can speak more about specifics at some point but I hope what I say is amicable. I'd even have the Xmen help with real terroists if we can have more local authorities involved as at least you believe you are doing the correct thing and I believe we can work to a common goal" SHe said putting her hand in her hair

R1K looked at Serina and didn't feel as if her conversation required any retorts. She was making requests and then as she turned to the subject of the X-Men she stopped putting her things away and looked at her.
"The X-Men are actually in good places. They didn't survive the initial assault when Operation New York was first started. I wasn't there but I did understand they were eliminated. As for the other request and my memories they are quite sharp. I have not forgotten my time here it is just I have a mission and as part of the mission I will not bother the shores of your home again. Those memories are the only reason why I have not turned this country into a smoking crater. If you will excuse me I have other places to be."
She finished putting her things away and then nodded respectfully to Serina.
"When you have reached a decision contact me. I will take my leave. Thank you for seeing me."

Serina held up a hand softly but with a hand of authority that she seemed to always have. It was built within her. Even with the five years being away from the "Before you leave I'd like to clarify some things that will help in my decision" She said with a nod "We'll get the X-Men later...but I wanted to know what exactly is hoped to be accomplished here and how you are keeping the sentials there in check to begin with. Things could get out of control quite quickly and things you don't mean to happen could. If I am to help you in this I want to be sure we are getting the right people. That is why I am focused and anti sentinel. All I want is fairness as I feel there has been enough killing of both good and bad mutants." She looked R1K in the eyes with some understanding. She had the feeling that they both wanted the same thing. If she could get R1k to understand this maybe there could be a resolution and maybe she could see that Serina had similar ideas. She might be a good person but she understood if a mutant was bad and needed to be imprisoned or even killed if they were hurting other people.
"I am sure beyond anything that you know that and that is why you wanted to meet with me instead of just going brute force. And believe me I appreciate this which is why I myself agreed to this meeting. I just want this all to end. I want my family both blood here in England and by group in New York that are alive to be safe. I want those that are innocent to be safe as a leader. I want to be sure of everything and that it would be the case before agreements." Serina sighed and bowed her head and wanted to listen to R1k's answer

R1K looked at Serina oddly, what kind of question was that? She was trying to get her to divulge how she controlled the Sentinels under her command. That was nice to know she was trying to get those answers but she should understand that they followed her commands.
“My control over them is really not an issue. They follow their orders and that is enough for you. I wouldn’t want to you to find out what happens should they ever come to be out of my control. That may be detrimental to the entire world.”
This talk of good and bad mutants was always cumbersome and put her in a mood she’d rather not describe. She did what was best for the country she was in charge of at the moment.
“There is no negotiation about any I hold. They are considered a danger and will be held until they are no longer considered a danger to anyone.”
Oh she thought this was about negotiation. That was a nice sentiment but it wasn’t anything other than a courtesy. She had given her assurances about the safety and sanctity of England. It was as it would be and that was all she had for Serina.
“This is a courtesy and actually gives you leverage against most of Parliament. I believe it’s leverage you didn’t have prior to this. I have no need to return her until you have given your answer. Enjoy the evening.”
She turned to Serina motioned to the information she had provided and it was dirty secrets of key members of parliament to ensure their cooperation when she needed to pass laws to assist her and help her order back to England.
“Look at the positive side of things. You’re going to be able to usher in a new era of change for your country and the best part is no one will be able to oppose you.”

"Oh that is absolutely a bright side. The best news I have had in a while" She stated nodding "I asked what I asked because the X-Men opposed mutant terrorism so it would make no sense any of them would be guilty of what you said they are. I should know I was one of them for years. That is why I would ask you consider freeing them. Imprisonment for a time for the actual terrorist I agree with absolutly, but not the ones that are misunderstood and actually fighting it along with you. If you will at least consider it that would...go a long way." She said with a nod "I will think on what you gave me and what you said. I feel we can both reach a reasonable compromise that will make everyone happy. " She said thoughtfully. She wanted the war to end for her people but also knew in her heart she still bore loyalty to those Xmen she cared so much for and missed coming here to England. She promised Skye she would do what she could to save as many as she could. It would only make sense to RIK that she would protect the Xmen only in these cases, and that would at least be a start. She would find a way to do what she needed to further the safety of those within her power as much as she could.
'A little at a time...an inch. I just need an inch' she thought to herself. She did in fact at least in theory agree with some of what R1K was saying however she also knew it was going too far. Perhaps if she had that inch it could show that there could be a balance to all of this. Things aren't as black as white as they all seem
