AN: WARNING, spoilers for the season finale. Please don't read if you don't want spoilers.
What a finale right? I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by how good season 4 was. As an avid Clexa shipper (yes, even now), I actually managed to enjoy it. I'm not sure if this will be continued or not. Whether I'll keep it as an antsy one-shot as a recount of this scene or whether I'll have a go at my own take as to who that Nightblood was and how they got to that point 6 years and 7 days later. Let me know if you want me to continue :)
We Will Rise
Prologue
Clarke's victory in activating the satellite was short lived as sparks flew from the device, rendering it now completely useless. "NO!" She cried out in frustration, throwing it angrily from the tower as despair began to crawl its way up her throat. She wanted to cry, scream, shout out that it wasn't fair. That her friends deserved a chance to survive even if she didn't. But of course, things never went exactly to plan.
Clarke hurriedly climbed from the tower after a few moments of shear frustration as she was quickly reminded of the danger she now faced, Praimfaya growing dangerously nearer. Clarke ran as fast and as hard as she could, determined to reach the lab before the nuclear wave reached her. She didn't know if the Nightblood that ran through her veins was enough to save her, but if she could only reach the lab, she at least had a chance.
Clarke tripped over a rock, falling to the ground just a few hundred metres from the building and for one heart stopping moment she saw the crack in her helmet. She climbed to her feet, not prepared to give up just yet and continued to run, the radiation having an immediate effect as her breathing came in short gasps, her skin becoming raw.
Clarke stumbled into the building, slamming the door shut behind her just as the wave hit the building and she staggered to the closest bench, leaning over it as she removed her helmet. She began to cough up blood, the dark liquid spilling onto the table as she clung to it.
Clarke fell to the floor, the radiation taking its full toll as her eyes closed for what she thought was the last time. Her last thought, was that her mother's vision had finally come true. She would succumbed to radiation poisoning.
