[Cate Blanchett to portray Christine Watson]

Morgan was on her way to Erudite to talk to their new head faction leader, hoping that she wasn't a complete tyrant.

Knowing that Eric followed a lot of Erudite's commands and wishes, Morgan hoped this new leader wasn't as demanding as Jeannine, though it was a lot to ask for.

The only thing a nerd needed was someone stronger to protect them, and that someone could command a whole army of men and women.

Morgan scared herself with the thought of how far would Eric really go to comply with his alliance and to maintain that bridge with Erudite, granted they would help him as well, healing him and what Eric thought was more important than him, her.

Morgan jumped out of the train as she reached Erudite HQ, landing perfectly on her two feet. It was like riding a bike, at first you stutter, but muscle memory always wins.

She aproaced the building, letting the girl at the desk know that she had a meeting with their faction leader. She waited patiently on the side of the desk while the girl made some phone calls.

She observed around her, people were giving her a second look, and most of them probably were relieved that it was her instead of Eric.

Eric wouldn't stand to wait more than a minute with someone who had asked to see him.

"Right this way" The girl at the desk moved from her chair to stand up and lead Morgan to the office.

It was at the end of a hall, several doors around the corridor were closed, and she being accostumed to the constant murmurs of Dauntless, the silence almost unnerved her.

The girl opened the door and invited her in with a little courteous smile.

Morgan nodded her head at her also smiling quickly as she entered the room, the door closed behind her leaving Morgan with a blonde woman sitting at her desk, her eyes scanning on papers.

"Please take a seat" she said, motioning at the chair in front of her, Morgan sat, angry that she was being treated like a kid who got sent to the principals office for not knowing the atomic mass of iron, which happened quite a lot in Morgan's ride through Erudite.

She finally decided to give Morgan some attention, her eyes lifting up to hers, then doing a quick scan on her persona.

"So, you're Eric's latest conquer"

"And his last conquer. I'm his wife" she replied with a monotone, she didn't like this woman already.

"It's quite fitting for Eric to have wed an ex-erudite" she linked her hands on the table and gave her a little smirk "though you're records are not impressive, he could've gotten something better, something less problematic"

"Problematic?" Morgan didn't mean to get into her game, but she didn't really consider herself problematic, she had fucked up a few times, but she didn't thought it was enough to tag her as a problematic woman.

"Well, you have broken everything we believe in by bringing the founders into the city-"

"That was a command from Jeannine, I wanted none of those people in here" she interrupted, but Christine didn't seem to care enough to listen.

"And you have giving them our divergents, the only reason of our existance in this city, the only reason we, as an Erudite faction, had for our experiments. Now we have almost nothing really transcendental to search"

"Well, I'm sorry for being born then" she said in an exaggerated sarcasm.

"Mmh. I guess those were the first words you told your parents as soon as you could develop self criticism."
