Arrivals in Symkaria (all Heirs and their escorts)
Just before they got near Symkarian airspace, they'd gotten a message from Vernard that he and his brother would be going. Another point in the 'Nazi Trap!' column.

And again they answer a few basic questions from SHIELD before they're even allowed past those border checks.

Eventually, they're in. Giovanna's hand hangs onto Andrew's arm in a girlfriendly fashion. The better to shock him at an instant's notice.

Symkaria's cleanup look like it's going very well.

	Marrina nodded. "It would be... very easy, I think, to kill all of us at once if they wanted to. Anyone with the power to take out people like Namor or the Panther has to be very dangerous." She shook her head. "This has all the earmarks of going badly. We'll need to watch very carefully." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Should this be an ambush," Akilah said, "They can try whatever they want, but they will not succeed. That goes the same for anyone here that has some underlying motive. Cross me, and you will meet the same fate I would give to any opponent as a warrior of Wakanda." Meaning, she wasn't abiding by the rules of being an Avenger while she was here.

"If this is all that needed to be said, then I will leave for the meeting now."

"Very specifically, it is not all that needs to be said. These people kidnapped Magneto, Doctor Doom, Namor, The Black Panther, and, I believe, Silver Sable as well. Between them, some of the most prepared, paranoid and capable people on Earth. If we go into this as individuals watching out for each other, we WILL lose. Much as everyone here is very impressive and capable, we are not yet our parents, grandparents and otherwise those who came before. If you have a problem with me, then I will take it up with you tomorrow. I would ask everyone here to do the same. The consequences of failure are not simply our own losses... but the losses of our nations. They will fall to war, and everyone will lose. Everyone. Right now, whatever your issues, there are millions of people, citizens of your nations, depending upon you, right now, to set aside agendas, paranoia, fear - and work with the people you see in this room. To borrow an apt phrase, we must hang together, or we WILL all hang separately... now, as a sign of trust, for today, and today only - I put myself in Nicolai's hands. If you deem Silver Sable to be on the level, and believe I am wrong, I will submit myself without resistance when this is over if you think any penalty for the suspicion is warranted, and will swear my resources and all I can call to bear to Symkaria's defense, should the threat continue."

He pauses, glancing around the room, then extends his hand. "Now, if you say, here, I can trust you, I will stand with you, work with you, and watch your back... for today, against a common threat. Who can I trust to stand with me?"

	Vincent steps forward, nodding grimly. "My brother and I are with you." He looks at the rest of the group. "With all of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Gio bites her tongue at the 'submit myself without resistance' bit. Because Andrew isn't wrong, so it's irrelevant. Otherwise, she would be even more unhappy than the circumstances already necessitated.

Otherwise, she just listens as he's keeping his head, putting their country first, understanding that everyone else's first priority was their own, and remembers why she loves him so m

Kassia was uncharacteristically quiet as everyone seemed to speak in turn. She was listening, particularly to Akilah. The woman's attitude about how to deal with things mirrored her own, though Kassi was more likely to give the people not their 'hosts' the benefit of the doubt.

"This be a trap, we'll all need to work together. He's right; we're not just ourselves but our people right now as well." Her eyes looked over everyone. "We have obvious fighters in our numbers. I think it's safe to say that when the trap springs the more obvious the threat the more likely they'll want to take us down. It's somewhat logical.

I'm here with my sister, but I've got as many backs as I can physically cover. I stand with you all."

	"Stand at my side, not my back." She gave them all a look. "Trust is not something so easily given, but I will help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicolai wasn’t particularly sure about any of this. Someone being able to sneak up on his mother and capture her seemed almost implausible but given who else had been made to disappear it somehow was not so unlikely. “Very well if what you fear has happened you will have my full support,” Nicolai said looking at them all with piercing eyes.

	"I stand with you all as well," Marrina said. "It's the only way to find out what happened. The only way to preserve the future for our people." She couldn't understand Akilah's hostility, not at all. Even in the circumstances... everyone else here was in the same boat. It hardly seemed the time to try and pull apart.

"Then I shall trust you all with my life. When the ambush comes, if it comes, those who are able, if you have any access to electrical attacks, hit me with them. Trust me, the stronger the better. We have one surprise on our side if we time this right. Shall we?" he asks, performing one more act of diplomacy, and allowing the regents of the other nations to go ahead of him.
