Isabella, after recieving Patel's call, pondered her next move. 

Should she turn Cedric into more of a martyr than he was going to be, or just have him killed quickly? More to the point, she wanted to weaken the Reformists, not destroy them entirely, not with the Aliens approaching and waiting to 'harvest' all Metahumans, if that Constantine was right. On second thought, she wanted her pound of flesh, to validate Patel's views for them, to stand atop of the world, proclaiming her glory.

Pride won.

"Broadcast it," she spoke to Patel. "But I'm not going to make a speech; let the images speak for themselves."

She knew the consequences; the Underground Movement being proclaimed the top terrorist group of the world, people rallying behind the Reformist Flag. But she didn't care, she had to hold the Villain Ball - sorry for troping - in order to prove herself the most evil person currently in the world, to proclaim herself the strongest, the most beautiful, the most powerful.
