How does Marc feel about Angie becoming an
Eagle? Here’s a clip that should help explain it.
“Can I sit
here?”
Angela looked up
from her tray with an unguarded smile that made Marc’s heart thump.
“You know it.”
Her response,
however, made his anger flare higher. She sounded more like these people every
day. “I’d like to talk to you about something that’s bothering me.”
Angela answered distractedly,
glad to feel the pill finally starting to calm the heat in her shoulder.
“What’s up?”
Marc sat across
from her and braced himself, suddenly sure it would go badly. “I don’t think
you should be an Eagle.”
A breathless
sort of shock slid over her face and Marc dropped his head, but didn’t stop.
“I’d like you to resign, find something else. There has to be a safer way for
you to help him.”
“I see.” There
was only ice now. “And your reasons?”
Marc felt the
ambush coming, tried to head it off. “There’s a lot you’re not seeing and it
might get you hurt. These people don’t want you to do it, not even the women
here. Just you and Adrian.”
There was a
sneer in his tone that had her frowning. He still didn’t trust or even like
Adrian.
“That’s not
true,” she argued, thinking of her shower visit from Hilda and Peggy. “There
are a few.”
Marc shook his
head. “Trained lapdogs don’t count.” His voice gentled, became almost
patronizing to her wounded ears. “And none of them really think you can either.
When the first cage match comes and no one hits you, everyone will see the flaw
in his plans.”
Angela knew she
should be furious with his lack of support, but she’d already noticed those
things hadn’t she? Marc’s beef wasn’t the Eagles at the moment, but Adrian.
“You’re jealous.”
It was a fact
being stated. Marc couldn’t, wouldn’t deny it.
Sadness hit
Angela in waves. “Why can’t I have both, Brady?”
“What?” Marc had
been bracing for her anger, not a compromise.
“Both. You and
the Eagles.”
Marc didn’t know
what to say to that and she leaned forward. “I have the room and I’ve been
working on it from the moment we got here. I want both.”
Angela’s voice
lowered to a plea. “I need both. Please don’t make me pick one or the other.”
Marc hated it
that he could feel himself turning into Kenn. “How does that work?”
“You have to let
me do what I am meant to. If I get hurt in the process, that’s life now. I’ve
been held back for so long!”
She noticed the
nearest perimeter guards changing, made contact with the shadows. “And there’s
so much I can do, so many ways I can help if I’m an Eagle.”
Angela turned
back to him with flecks of steel shimmering. “I will be one of them, in every
way, Brady. I’m almost free of the past, but this can’t hang between us. You’ll
have to decide if you can let me live my life the way I see fit. If you can, I’ll
share it with you, openly.”
Her tone went
back to ice. “But that means accepting me as an Eagle.”
“And that’s
firm? No room to bend?”
Angela sighed at
the stiffness in his voice. “What if I said okay, Marc? I’ll move my stuff into
your tent today and resign, go back to just being a doctor. Is that what you
want?”
She had tried
hard for casual, but the pain clear and Marc shook his head. “Yes.”
Angela’s face
tightened. He wouldn’t force her, would he? “I’ll go pack. You tell Adrian.”
Marc’s eyes
flashed and she gave him a hard stare, pushing away from the table. “I owe you,
right? It’s time to start paying off that debt.”
Was she
bluffing? Did it matter? He could never follow through. “I’m leaving soon. Get
ready for it.”
Angela stood up,
voice scornful as she struck back. “I was ready for it when you found me in
Indiana. Surprised you’ve stuck around this long.”
As you can see, he’s against it and things
are getting ugly. What’s his biggest issue with it?
Her getting hurt or killed? Her
becoming important in Safe Haven’s chain of command? All the time she’ll spend
with the Eagles and not him?
No. He’s really afraid of not being
needed. If she can stand on her own, he sees his own value to her as non-existent.
Will he be able to adjust? I believe so.

is Safe Haven Refugee Camp. Can anyone hear me?
