I'm not even sure how I got away myself. My memory is... fuzzy at best.”<br/><br/>She walked to Katerina after she felt the girl relax, and patted her back with a comforting gesture, as she said with a soft voice, “We all had our losses, Katerina, some more than others, but for none of us the world will ever be the same again.”<br/><br/>“We might be able to fight sure... but without any sure way of knowing we're making a difference what will be the point?” Katerina asked. “We're just a bunch of kids compared to the former organizations that have already fallen, Jake. The X-Men fell, SHIELD is likely gone, and every other group that could have held off has probably fallen as well, so what hope do we even have?”<br/><br/>Natasha sighed, and said, “I don't know what we can do either, but we can't let them get away with this.”<br/><br/>She was silent for a moment, staring at the ground, until a thought occurred to her.<br/><br/>Looking at the others, she said, “Maybe we can form some kind of a resistance group of our own, and see if we can liberate more people and at least frustrate their plans. I'm not sure how much of a difference we'll be able to make, but there are four of us here with mutant powers, and I damn well aren't going to let them get away with what they did to us.<br/><br/>“We could go back into the city, find a defensible base, hide the ones without special powers there, and make sure we frustrate their efforts as much as possible to capture more humans. I'm sure we'll encounter others with special powers, and with every soul that joins us, we'll be able to achieve more and more successes. We might even be able to clear them out of the city altogether, but it's going to take time to do so.”<br/><br/>With strong conviction in Natasha's voice, she said, “All resistance starts small, we may not survive, but united we stand strong. As a doctor I've sworn to safe lives, and I for one intent to continue with that mission. The only alternative we have is a life of being on the run, but I'm sure you all realize that sooner or later there will be nowhere left to hide, and the moment that we could have made a difference will be long gone. The sooner we take the fight to them, the faster we can try to get something going to stop them.”<br/><br/>Looking the other three in the eye, she hoped to spark their will to fight, and to take the battle to Apocalypse.<br/><br/>“Let's... go inside then,” Katerina said, “We're aren't doing anything here besides making ourselves a target.”<br/><br/>“Yes, I agree,” Natasha replied, following Katerina inside the building.<br/><br/>Once inside she picked up an overturned table, and gathered some of the strewn around papers. One side of them was printed with some kind of a business proposal, but the other side was blank. Grabbing a half-broken pen, she started to draw a map of the city landscape she had seen so far.<br/><br/>“Maybe Banshee and Jake can add more details to this map. We need to identify a place to stay,” Natasha mumbled, more to herself than to anybody in particular.
