Though she had hoped that the one who had summoned them all here would provide an answer, it seemed that she was mistaken on that being a possibility before things began to escalate, with all the hostility that was being shown towards the Beacon as per usual. It was as much the pity that so many viewed their beliefs as a nuisance, always focused on the stance towards monsters and dark magical girls rather than the sheer commitment and devotion that was involved as being part of the organization. It was something you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. 

She was distracted from immediately answering though by the arrival o a straggler, one that was not familiar to her. A smile rose to her face as she stepped over, shaking the other girls hand with a respectful grip. "Good evening Janet," she replied happily. "It's nice to meet you. Are you new to The Beacon?"

Unfortunately in the distraction she was unable to answer hurled accusations fist, and Natasha did so before she was able to. Honestly though the girl somewhat voiced what she was thinking, though she would never be so bold as to actually say it outright. She had a responsibility, and a duty, to try and resolve this diplomatically rather than deliberately crashing things. Though it was tempting to do so with the sorts of insults being directed their way. 

Stepping forward once again, she flashed a sad smile to the one who was attempting to play peacemaker, glad for their efforts to do so in this whole mess. It was better than outright hostility at least. "Unfortunately I believe we have been misunderstood," she said, speaking up once again to make her point. "We do not seek protection from those who have become monsters, nor do we need it. Beacon is more than capable of looking after its own. But without some consideration given to our own beliefs I find it doubtful that those who lead the Beacon will accept this alliance. And there are many girls in Beacon who will refuse to work with his kind, regardless of whether we're actively fighting or not." 

Personally she hoped that the others would be willing to listen, if only because it would be distressing to find so many of the regular community seemingly biased against Beacon, as if oblivious to the intent of the organization. But ultimately it was not up to her. She had said her piece, and if Victoria had not considered that then perhaps this alliance was doomed from the start. it only worked if all parties were willing to heed the alliance, and at this point she could not guarantee that every member of Beacon would do so.
