Everyone in the room turned toward Lilith at the same time. It wasn't planned, it just happened.
Lilith frowned, looking around at the eyes suddenly on her. "What?" she asked flatly.
Ann crossed her arms. "Well, you're the strongest. Naturally, you should take the lead."
Lilith gave her a look that said she wasn't impressed. "Strength doesn't always mean leadership."
Ann raised a brow. "You're saying you're not the best option?"
Lilith sighed quietly, her gaze steady. "I'm saying Vanessa's smarter. She should lead."
Vanessa looked up from where she'd been thinking, surprised but not by much. "You're serious?"
Lilith nodded once. "You have better judgment. I might freeze them all before they speak."
Dickson snorted a laugh under his breath. "Yeah, no argument there."
Lilith gave him a sharp look and he instantly went quiet.
