Aria quirked a soft smile. To live another day was good but to be believed by the most powerful man currently alive and because she had saved him. Granted he had been in bad shape. Aria had seen the leaked information as well as the press conference. Aria had laughed at the nuclear holocost that had been prevented.
Aria was thankful that the Atharim had not been outted yet again. The world was going to have enough trouble coping with these reborn gods but to deal with the fact that there were monsters on top of it - a real thread to their humanity. The Atharim needed to continue their work even if the Ascendancy outted them.
The Ascendancy dropped his power and Aria felt a minor moment of fear at whatever thoughts came from him in that moment about. There was much about that night that could give anyone nightmares. Aria nodded when he thanked her. She wasn't going to enjoy being cooped up in the Kremlin. But it was better than the facility below the earth and it was definitely better than the cells she knew he'd have in the ground for either prisoner or dead bodies.
But first she had to get better - burns and broken ribs. Lovely. She was going to be here at least a while. Aria hoped Nox was fairing better. She prayed that he stayed safe and that the Atharim didn't hunt him down until he was prepared. She knew he would hole up somewhere - they'd talked about such tactics. What they'd do in the even they found out he was a god. It never occurred to Aria that she would be forced to betray the Atharim before they found out he was a god among them.
