No one's Pov

The day was a calm one, as little by little the room started to fill up with people. It was time for another world meeting and as always the countries where pouring in, knowing well that they may not get things done. This time the meeting was held in New York, Alfred having to host it. Mexico was supposed to host it this time, yet for some reason, she said she couldn't host it. America gladly covered for her, although she gave no reason why. All the countries gathered inside and took care of their business. There was occasional arguing between England and France but by now many countries were used to it. America looked at the clock, seeing it getting late. He told the other countries they can leave and explore New York city but if they saw Spider-Man they needed to call him asap. Everyone either gave him their word or rolled their eyes at his childish nature as they left. Germany stayed behind to think to himself about the meeting and what could possibly be going on with Mexico. He noticed she was acting rather odd from her sassy outgoing usual self. She started becoming rather distant, and canceling meetings or relocating then whenever it was in her country. He suspects she could be going through a desperate time like how he was going through during the world wars. Perhaps I should check the news he thought to himself. He could investigate further, and see how her country's doing. Germany decided that it was best, and headed back to his hotel room to investigate and prepare for another meeting tomorrow.

The next day seemed to be just like the last, France and England in a heated argument when the door suddenly opened. Those who looked were rather shocked to see who it was. Mexico quietly entered, obviously uncomfortable with everyone's gaze on her. She sat down, not one word being said out of her.

"What has gotten into you? You're acting like a teenager who just found out Zayn left one direction."

"Inglaterra not now, please" She replied rather quietly.

"No you are going to sit here and tell us, there is something going on and we need to know what and why. We are here to help each other unless you're America and only help to get something in return... So we can thrive and not be turned into territories."

"You didn't need to call out America, England. You were no better when you were an empire." She stated, still staring at the floor. "So I do suggest that you keep that mouth of yours shut or else" her tone suddenly got more aggressive.

"No need to get aggressive just trying to help you."

"Hey England lay off man, she's still my girl."

"If she's your so-called 'girl' why aren't you trying to help her out? Hm? Oh right, you and your cheeto puff of a boss need something in return or require money to do a damn thing. Ever since you let him put up that damn wall between you and Mexico you treated her like an ex-wife, you don't deserve her!"

"Ahora si te conviene defenderme verdad?! Mejor callate puto o te voy a matar" Maria growled, her knuckles turning white. Everyone looked at her except America, who was glaring hard at his older brother with all the rage of a demon.

"And how would you know?! You live thousands of miles across the Atlantic. You are a tiny isolated island who acts like you're not apart of Europe! You claim you love no one! I feel terrible building that wall but I had no fucking choice, I am being forced to not see her cause if I do it could cause more problems for her. So as a husband I am obligated to protect her by any means necessary! Even if it means tearing me apart on the inside!!"

"Oh really? I was so sure you didn't love her since you took her children from her you could gain more land. You had a choice in that!" What happened next shocked everyone. Mexico quickly grabbed England by the throat, holding him against the wall.

"How about I snap that thin neck of yours? Maybe then you can shut up for once." England tried to pry to her hands off of his neck, but couldn't as he kept making choking noises. Her glare was empty, not one bit of emotion showing as she used more force to the point were England looked as if he was to pass out. Immediately some nations got up, trying to get Mexico's grip off of England. It took Russia, America, and a few others to finally pry her off of him, leaving a barely conscious England.

"Mexico what's gotten into you?!"

"What you mean? I'm perfectly fine" She responded, that empty glare is long gone, and instead replaced with confusion. "Why do you ask?"

"You're going insane!"

"I am not!!" She quickly got defensive, which was a sign to some of the Southern American nations that something was wrong. Extremely wrong. "I am perfectly sane, despite all that you've done to me! Abandonment! Abduction! Murder!!" She yelled at America. The poor man was speechless, what was he supposed to say? "I'm sorry, I must have hit a soft spot" she smiled a bit, her eyes holding insanity in it before it went back to her 'confused' look. Germany caught a glimpse of her insane look, however, and recognized it immediately. After the meeting, Guatemala pulled America and Germany aside. He tried to warn them that Mexico has been going through many issues, corruption and poverty being the main ones. They were really messing with her mental state, especially since she's starting to fall apart as a country. The two noted this and soon realized she is close to becoming her second persona. Which will make her do drastic things if they fully come out. Which, if they don't do something, will be sooner than they like. They needed to do something, and quick.
