Bloody Barnet
With a Redbright presence coming into Haringey, there was cause to act swiftly and decisively. The werewolves could be of little help now. Their own political upheaval and the coming Blood Moon meant that they couldn't throw their support behind any one faction of witches, not if they wanted the best chance of protection during their vulnerable hours. Who knew if the considerable truce Midnight had enjoyed with them would even hold after this.
Either way, it meant Enfield might soon have Redbright control to two of their borders within the city. That was an uncomfortable place to be. The situation called for drastic measures.
Which was why Abigail Widdowson had decided that the only safe thing to do -- dangerous as it was -- involved spreading their influence. They had to move, and it couldn't be against the werewolves. There were no direct hostilities with them, and she wasn't going to be the one to fire the first shot. However, Redbright had already made their move in taking Barnet. They could be struck back at.
(An open post for the failed Midnight territory claim of Barnet! I will post a few sub threads that can be used either generally or for threads with Abby. Feel free to post your own headers, too!)

Preparations - (Allies)
Asking a fae for help was always a difficult matter. And one she was already preparing a contract with was even more dangerous. She'd offered him her soul for her life and line. What more could she give? Still, they had a common enemy. While Redbright territories were technically open to the fae, Sylvia was still the leader of Circle Daybreak.
How long before their influence spread?
She'd sent word and greeted the man with a polite bow of her head when he approached. She tried to smile.
"Thank you for coming."
Cooper
Walking in vampire territory didn't make her nervous. They all knew who she was, and she was considered, at the very least, a neutral presence. She worked with the werewolves, but she'd never acted against the vampires. So, she could be tolerated.
It wasn't hard to text Cooper and arrange a meeting.
"Hey." She gave a little smile, but it was strained. "Thanks. I figured this should probably be discussed face to face."
Misc
There was cause for her to be in Barnet. She found excuses. Mostly, though, she found the pockets of Circle Midnight that survived. All of them pledged their support. However, there was no way to do it completely privately. Allies and enemies alike could easily see her in the borough.
