The crew managed to put everything back into place after some time but they were not about to let London go off easy. She left the hostages without any supervision and it made everyone angry and confused. It was a common-sense thing that she didn't follow, but why?

She was used to being a responsible and serious person so this was something they did not expect from her. They gathered in one of the rooms inside the Royal Mint as the rest of them kept their watch on the hostages.

She and Berlin were standing in front of the table as the others surrounded them thinking what should they say. Now it all became clear that they had a secret relationship going on for quite some time.

It all saw the light of day and there was no turning back. Even though London was kind of ashamed that she had a relationship with Berlin, she still knew deep down that she loved him.

London eyed all of them with death glares making them question their decisions. She locked eye contact with Tokyo, Rio, Denver, and Nairobi as they stared at them thinking what should they say.

Berlin also stared at all of them but was a lot more relaxed and chill. He didn't seem to care since he was the leader behind all of this so he knew he wasn't gonna get in trouble. But London getting in trouble mattered to him.

"London, do you mind telling us where you were when the hostages escaped?" Tokyo was the first one to speak up with her fake look. London gave her a death glare as the two stared at each other as if they wanted to shoot each other to death.

They had a pretty good relationship but seeing this made London question it. Maybe Tokyo only sucked up to her since London was close to Berlin or she was jealous since The Professor really liked her.

"I do mind actually, Tokyo. So I won't be answering that question." London replied sarcastically with a fake smile to make Tokyo even madder. She just wanted to piss her off since she wasn't defending her.

"We know you and Berlin were fucking each other this whole time, London." Denver said with blatant honesty as London turned to him with an annoyed look. "There's no need to hide that anymore."

"No, she wants to do it because she's scared she's not going to be The Professor's favorite." Tokyo added with an evil smirk she showed making eye contact with London. 

"Oh, so you're jealous?" London asked her as she tilted her head and crossed her arms on her chest.

"I was never and never will be."

"But it seems as if you are."

"What makes you think like that?"

"You're not defending me."

"Why should I? You're an idiot."

"Don't be such a hypocrite. So are you."

The two women were arguing with each other as Tokyo approached London closer with every word. London wasn't moving from her spot at all and waiting for Tokyo without breaking her look off of her.

"Enough!" Nairobi broke the two apart as Tokyo turned around and looked at her. London broke her gaze off of Tokyo and also looked at Nairobi across the room. "London, we know you and Berlin are together. Don't try and deny it. But you were an absolute moron leaving the hostages alone."

"It's not her fault." Berlin spoke up. He had been quiet this whole time so everyone turned their looks at him. Including London, who was confused why he was only speaking up now and let them make fun of her. "It's mine. So blame me but not her."

His voice was cold and low as his look gazed somewhere on the ground. He felt guilty that London was getting the blame even though she did nothing wrong. Berlin lured her away while she was just trying to do her work.

He knew that London always obeyed the rules and was always reponsible. He felt pretty bad knowing that he was in charge of her mistake and wanted to help her get out of this mess.

"It doesn't matter, okay?" London said to him. This time, she was extremely mad and upset. "I did it. I'm sorry. I will never do it again. So can we please move on with our day without this drama?" London stared at everyone before walking out of the room with a scoff.

But when Berlin noticed she was going, he quickly snapped back and ran after her. "London, wait." London walked out into the hallway but when he caught up with her she angrily turned around.

"What? What do you want, Berlin?" She asked as her eyes started to tear up with the presence of him right in front of her. She couldn't bear looking or talking with him at all at this moment.

Berlin didn't even know what to say. He knew he really messed up but had no idea how he should have made London feel better. "I'm sorry, okay? I didn't want for you to-"

"No, no, just stop it." London cut him off as her voice quivered at the end. "I don't want to talk with you now. I just can't." London tried to hold back tears and when she felt that they were flooding, she turned around and walked away from him avoiding it at the last second.

Berlin just stood there out of shock trying to think of what to do now. Even though he knew that their relationship was hanging on by a single thread, he was still determined to make it up for her somehow.
