As Clarke sits and looks out over the world that she now knows is doomed, she feels the hollow victory of defeating A.L.I.E and destroying the city of light. She wonders if she made the right choice, feeling as though she may have once again condemned her people to a death sentence.

Abby watches her daughter and can see the pain in her face, in her eyes she is still her little girl and right now she would do anything to take her pain away. The moment Clarke came back from the city of light, Abby could sense there was something more, something Clarke was too afraid to say. She finishes patching up the grounders wounds and makes her way to her daughter. Placing her hand gently on Clarkes shoulder she says, her voice quiet and soft,

"What is it Clarke? I know something more happened while you were in the city of light. Talk to me, please?" Clarke avoids her mother's eyes as she tries to control the emotion in her voice,

"I saw Lexa in the city of light mum, she saved me." Abby feels the tears swelling in her eyes, her baby has lost so much at such a young age and still she is strong. She tries to find the right words to comfort Clarke,

"It makes sense you saw Lexa there Clarke, when you took the flame it connected you to her. That's how these things work. Part of Lexa was still in the flame, still in the mainframe." Clarke looks at her mum with hurt and fury in her eyes,

"It was Lexa mum, not some leftover computer programme. I felt her." Abby bites her lip, knowing she cannot take away this pain, she looks out over the bodies of the men and woman who fell from the tower when the kill switch was pulled. She turns to Clarke and wipes the tears from her child's cheeks, Clarke looks to her mother, feeling like a broken child she says, her voice weak,

"I love her mum." Abby pulls Clarke to her and kisses her on the fore head before putting her arms around her, feeling Clarke lean into her and let go, she whispers,

"I know you do sweetheart."

Clarke could feel herself letting all her strength out, tears flood her face as she feels her mother's strong arms around her. She needs this moment, everything that's weighing on her heart seeps out now in her tears. She can still feel Lexa's kiss and so desperately wants to be looking into her beautiful green eyes again and holding her close. With everything she was told in the city of light, she can only focus on one thing right now. Lexa, and how much she aches for her.
