Like a scythe in a field full of briars
She was angry. So, so angry.

She had to exert her self-control to keep her fingertips from bursting into crackling light. It wasn't good for the telephone.

"May I speak to Mr. Howard?"

"Then our targets are identified. The Junior Senators from Florida and West Virginia must be silenced, humiliated or cowed into into submission while the Senior Senator from California needs to be given a backbone. Once he has one, we may be able to get him to oppose Sloane." Julian says.

"Meanwhile, we're going to need to build a power-base for a couple of pro-mutant candidates to run upon and get them in the public eye." Julian says, pondering that idea. His current idea to build a few worthy political candidates hasn't been provided to the Hellfire Club yet, but perhaps Andrew and Giovanna can provide him with insight as to who he should or shouldn't be looking at.

"I'm going to start working on this today, Giovanna. We'll start by getting the right people to listen to Andrew and go from there." Julian says.

"Hm. The former sounds closer to feasible than the latter. For a successful politician, he seemed so ...my English is failing me for a moment. Is the word 'henpecked'?"

Giovanna listens intently, then manages to smile wryly. "Once upon a time, you said you intended to stay out of politics as much as possible. Circumstances surprise us all. Me, I admit I'd have doubted what you're suggesting is possible right now if you didn't say it the way you just did."

"Both are in the realm of possibility. We just need more time for the latter. I know I said that wanted to stay out of politics, but times are becoming ever more dominated by politicians and their decisions. As good as some of them can be, mutants /cannot/ afford to wait for humans to give us our rights and freedoms. We will never truly be understood by those who do not share our backgrounds and conditions.

We can't wait for humanity to /give/ us equality or rights. We must /take/ them by whatever means we have available, even if it means turning the very rules they use to deny us against them." Julian tells her.

	As Julian preaches to the choir, the vestry, and, to stretch the metaphor, the deacon's daughter, Giovanna listens and nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll contact you in two days and let you know what I can arrange. Please do not let Andrew know about this, Giovanna. I would like my contribution to the cause to remain anonymous, if we can agree on that." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nods. "I can't lie to him. I just can't. But I'll avoid mentioning it, and there's no reason for him to ask it specifically." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would never ask you to lie to Andrew, Giovanna. I see that you care for him deeply, and there should be no secrets in any good relationship. But I do appreciate that you came to me about this. I've been working on ways to help Andrew recently, and I'm glad to put them into action." Julian says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Giovanna nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)
