I think you're just misunderstanding my position really because I'm actually holding Ella accountable for the stuff she did. HERO has the resources to fuel my growth, in power and knowledge. Ella doesn't. That doesn't make me a HERO simp. That's just me taking full advantage of what HERO offered. Something which Ella can't do and won't because she prefers to hold all of her cards. SIN isn't a valid alternative to it either. I also said that I'll definitely break away from HERO when I'm strong enough to go independent.
Do I like several people within HERO? Yes, I love Lexi and Alice. Clark, Michael and Malik are Bros. Not to mention, all of the potential superhuman women with plenty of power variety to pick from. You have to be crazy to throw that all away for a woman that tells you, she has some plans for you, doesn't tell you why, and then continues to mess with you and the people around you because she deemed it necessary for her plan.
Alice also didn't lose her arm because of Nico or even Clark, she did that by over taxing her body without letting Clark's energy fade. Even if you had to give blame, it's still on Clark like Alice herself said. Not that it matters because that's what actually helped her evolve to the 2nd Level.
Nico also isn't useless. She literally was fighting equally with Ella and if not for Ella prepping in advance with her body underground, she would literally be in the sun right now like her disposable body that did get booted there. If Nico was as useless as you perceive her to be, then why does Ella consider her a high priority and really wanted to kill her but struggled to get the job done herself?
It seems more like you're the one who's blinded by Ella and got some real hang up about it, to be frank. I love Lexi but if she killed or put any of my friends or women in same position as Laurie, I'd kill her. The same applies to Dani and just about everyone else. Cole and Jared killed Laurie and Charlie prevented me from killing them. You think I care for Charlie's reason for stopping me and Alice? No, I don't. She just became another person that dies too. The same goes for Ella. I don't care what her reason could be for all of her "tests", it doesn't give her a pass to do what she did at all.
Also, it's hilarious that you interpret Ella sending shit our way as some kind of okay thing, consequences be damned, while ignoring everything else because it made us stronger. Yet have a problem with Nico not picking you up from a fight that led to not only valuable information, an established position within the place we're going to and the resources that come with it.
1. That's true yet on all fronts, and while H.E.R.O HAS all the resources/some knowledge to make you stronger, they haven't really delivered on your better ment have they? Rather, they've kept you in a cage and only let you out on your leash for when they need a podium mascot for THEIR agenda, rather than for your oh so valued convenience. On the contrary, the month you've been there you've learned less about your powers than you ever have the month you've been outside doing your own thing, or being trained by Ella. It was only AFTER they let you off your leash you finally Evolved, and that was a direct influence from, you guess it; Ella. I'd wager Ella also knows FAR more knowledge regarding monsters and what have you than H.E.R.O, as one of the ones she was housing game you more info than all of the fucking glorified library books stacked together, ya H.E.R.O's been a great help forcing you into their servitude. Only thing they got is that serum.
2. Of course, only matters if it's not ELLA risking your friends in dangerous positions to further their growth, makes sense.
3. Fighting equally with Ella huh, let's not get it twisted. Nicolette was powered up BY CLARK another Lvl 5, teamed up with a Lvl 4 AND a high lvl 3, but we're going to discredit ALL that help just cause Ella made a few fail-safes with her OWN power in preparation despite being only a new Lvl 5? Okay bud, cope is strong. While she isn't "useless" in the literal sense (because Ella wanted to kill her TP usage) the only reason Ella couldn't kill her is from all the aforementioned and MAILK AND NYX showing up, would we like to keep playing the Nico was good in that fight game for a chick who talks so much game?
4. Yeah I'm an Ella simp loud and proud. All of your points make sense, I'm assuming you killed Danica because she DID make you look like a fool in front of your girlfriend and tried to kill/torture you multiple times while talking mad shit. Yeah Jared and Cole need to die, but that's always been the one thing everyone in the fanbase agrees on, regardless if Laurie died or not. Charlie saves our life, she didn't order them to kill Laurie but had she not stopped us right there we would've died from exhaustion and humiliation losing to FUCKING JARED in our state. For that she at MOST deserves a hefty fuckin beating and then she can fuck off for keeping Deryl company or whatever, the cunt. Plus I don't wanna fuck with the Shopkeeper, he brings good deals for my chargers.
5. Ya cause Ella has never DIRECTLY threatened me, like ya she's killed me in a Dead end but nearly everyone has done that (Malik, NICOLETTE, Clark, etc.) I would've been mad if Deryl didn't do what he did, but he did so fuck him, and I've never cared for Jake. The sad reality is that what Ella does works, and H.E.R.O doesn't, they have too many rules and split agendas, and lack of care. Holding Michael back, injuring Alice, keep us under lock and key only to let us out when they want to "play their cards", it sounds just as if not more abusive than Ella's relationship, at least I'm gaining SOMETHING out of it. As far as the Nicolette thing, SHE didn't secure your position at H.E.R.O, the executives did. They even said themselves that she could've pulled us out early so let's not meat ride that sinking ship like Nicolette was doing us a god damn favor by letting us get beat to death moreso than we had to. I'll be waiting for those "resources" that came with our slave deal, oh right, I got some spider webs so that's cool. Not like I couldn't just fucking look that up at the college when I STILL HAD ALL MY FREEDOM for how we got as strong as we did up until we were captured. Your teaming up with promises vs actual results, abuse with no payoff vs abuse with payoff, prison vs freedom, distrust vs distrust, blood vs bandaids, trained you and GAVE YOU POWERS vs one of the first options that LOSES YOU A POWER POINT (Xanthe power dampening shot) and doesn't care about you. Comon at least CONSIDER giving her a right beating and forgiving vs hating and killing her. Join us...as an eternal Ella simp...
