Re: Warehouse 13 (External and Internal)
Ellen laughs, right to his face. "Looking to recover the times of Enoch, where Kindred and Kine walked side by side. It's not ever going to happen Tesla, and you're a fool for thinking so. Humans are too panicky, self-centered, and superstitious for them to accept us, and most vampires aren't going to just lay down and pretend that their anything else than food, and if you weren't so naïve, you'd know it. And this time around, they have the ability to wipe us all out. You're too young to remember the inquisition, but I survived it, Tesla. They got about two-thirds of us, and that was back when it was thirty thousand clergymen, with crossbows and torches. Now it will be damn near the entire planet, armed with shotguns, incendiary rounds, napalm, and nukes. They'll have thermal imaging, missiles, the nuclear bomb, and they would be united against us, because we're the boogey man, Tesla. Even when I had all my power, I couldn't stand against that. When I could kill a room of people before they could blink, when I could have a mountain fall on me and walk away without a scratch, when I could knock a hole in a castle wall with a flick of my finger, I couldn't survive the world knowing about us today.
I was there at Hiroshima, at my full strength, and nearly died from it. I saw it coming and ran for what little life was left for me. I was at the edge of town when it detonated, another mile and a half past that before the initial shockwave caught up to me, and if I was any closer, I'd have died right there. It took me three months of continuous feeding to recover." She ranted, actually pacing back and forth as she kept her voice just shy of yelling at him.
"If you were to go up and tell the President of the United States that you were a Vampire, right now, and he actually believed you, what do you think would happen, Tesla?" She asked him bluntly, spite evident in her voice.
