Yue was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Why?" Laurel demanded.

"Because I do," Yue replied simply.

"That's a stupid answer," Laurel retorted, "Tell me why."

"Why do you think they shouldn't be trusted?" Yue asked instead.

"Because they have a mission, Yue," Laurel exclaimed "And they'll do everything in their power to complete it. They'll kill, steal, kidnap children. If they can get an edge, they will take it... no matter what!" she stated, voice rising, "How can we trust them at all? We're all buddies now but how long will that last, realistically?" Her eyes grew colder, "Until we get in their way or are of no further use. Do you really want to stick around for that?"

Yue was silent for awhile. "Yes," she decided, undisturbed by Laurel's rage.

"Why?!" Laurel demanded again.

Yue was silent for a moment. "Because... I know what their enemies are capable of," she replied.

Laurel snorted, "So you're trusting them because you fear the other side more?" she clarified.

Yue shook her head.

"Then what?" Laurel demanded

"Yeah, I know the neonates can get desperate," Yue replied. "But I also know that no matter how genetically enhanced they are that they are just human. Adn I also know that, as humans go, they aren't half-bad."

Laurel smirked a little sadly, "Yeah, that's right, they're only human. So what happens if one of us gets something they want? What then?" she demanded before rolling her eyes a little, "Oh that's right, you're dating one of them. I guess bedding one gives you more security than the rest of us," she spat as she stood.

Yue was silent for a moment before replying, "And where else would you put your trust?" she asked. "Are you sure whoever you trust wouldn't do the same?"

"I'm not putting my trust anywhere," Laurel spat, "Nic is the only person I'll trust from now on. I'm sick of all these games!"
