Hello! What's up? Excited for the return of The 100? Me too. So, yesterday I was spacing out and, actually had the idea to write this fanfic. The story starts after the events in "Spacewalker" and also after the remaining delinquents were rescued from (hope they all survive).

I decided to make as a short story and it'll also work as a countdown to the return, since i'm probably finishing in the same day of the 2x09.

The story is serious, but since I'm always thinking about how they would behave if they weren't in a life/death situation i can say the first chapter is more light-hearted.

*I don't own The 100 or its characters*

...

Chapter 1 – The help

Peaceful moments were rare in Earth since the delinquents arrived. First the confront with the grounders, then Mount Weather and the survivors of the Ark station.

Octavia Blake watched as the flames involved the wood. She was finally calm, or at least, as calm as she could be. Lincoln was back and, since the grounders and the sky people were after all understanding each other, they didn't have to fear or worry about the incomprehension of their relationship. With her head resting on the grounder's shoulder, she thinks about everything that happened until now and looks at Jasper and Monty who are laughing in the other side of the fire.

Both were rescued along with the rest of the people who were being kept in Mount Weather. They were still getting used to the return to Camp Jaha and most of the remaining delinquents were not so found of the rigid routine and rules of the Ark, also most of the Arkers didn't trust on them. But those two were almost unshakable, Octavia smiled at the thought.

The peace was broken when she heard someone shout.

"CLARKE!"

Of course she knew the owner of the voice. Her hot-headed brother and current co-leader of the 100, Bellamy.

Octavia, Lincoln, Jasper, Monty and some people who were close turned their attention to see the failed attempt of the boy to reach the blonde leader. He stopped calling her when she entered her tent. He sighed looking defeated and turned to the other side of the camp.

"It has been like that for weeks!" exclaimed Jasper reading the thoughts of Octavia.

"Yeah, she's not talking to anyone." added Monty.

Since the disaster of Finn's death Clarke had been avoiding everyone. She threw herself on work and every day looked more exhausted. Lincoln once said just the time would heal an injured soul, but it has been almost two months. People started to give up trying to help, all except Bellamy. And this impressed Octavia, she knew to much about her brother to see how he cared about the girl.

"Do you guys think she had been sleeping?"

"Not at all, she's almost always the first one up in the camp." said Lincoln (who used to wake up before the sun rises).

"Shouldn't we do something?" asked Monty.

"Do what? She barely let someone stay close more than three minutes." argued Jasper.

They didn't wanted to admit it but this worried them. The other delinquents also have noticed the change on their leader and this was not a good sign. The 100 didn't worked without the leadership of both their commanders. Clarke and Bellamy couldn't be more different, but that worked for them. They were used to see both leaders almost kill each other and then smile in agreement instants after. This granted them the titles of Mom and Dad as the younger, and after, the oldest ones called them behind of their backs.

"Hey!" greeted Miller joining them along with Murphy. "What's gotten into Bellamy? He looked like he would kill someone."

"He's just in a bad mood because Mom doesn't want to talk to him."

"Not news Goggles." teased Murphy. After the last attempt to betray them and his second capture by grounders it looked as he finally decided to stay on good terms even if people still doubted. "It's not like Princess is going to forget what happened to Spacewalker."

"Some time she'll need to talk to someone!" Octavia intervened.

"And this time will come, but not now." Lincoln said as to end the discussion.

"You know, we could…" started Jasper but he was interrupted by Monty.

"It's not a good idea."

"No! Actually it is!" exclaimed Octavia jumping from her seat next to Lincoln. The other teenagers could hear the gears working on her head. "I can't believe I haven't thought about this!"

"What is it?"

"The perfect plan!" she started to narrate the idea to bring their leader back. Miller was also thinking about the plan and calculating the pros and cons, Jasper and Monty looked excited with something to do, Lincoln was facepalmed.

"And how we'll manage to work?" asked Murphy skeptical.

"First we'll need help."

"I said NO!" shouted the angry mechanic.

"Come on Reyes, they are just trying to help."

"Shut up Wick!"

Octavia sighed, convince Raven to join to their cause was proving more difficult than she expected. Even with Wick's help. The engineer has a soft spot for the girl and was the one who helped her after Finn's.

"Please Raven, we need you."

"And I refuse to help, I don't care about Clarke."

"You didn't wanted to say that."

"No, actually I did." Raven had developed a hate towards Clarke about what happened, and somewhat Octavia couldn't blame her. Raven felt like the girl had stolen her only family. But this childish behavior was getting on Octavia's nerves.

"Ok! Now listen! I'm tired of your 'I don't give a shit', if you don't want to do this for Clarke it's all right! But it's not just her problem, it's ours!"

"She's right, you know." Wick commented, trying to soften the tension in the tent. Raven sighed.

They all knew that if they wanted to survive, they needed both of the leaders in full form. And Octavia was right, she didn't actually hated Clarke, she was just hurt. Deep down she knew that Clarke saved Finn from suffering.

"This plan, is better to be good."

"This means?"

"I'll do it. But for the sake of the 100"

"Right." Smiled Octavia.

After she left the tent, followed by both the mechanic and the engineer, they headed to where the other boys were waiting.

"Time to start the phase 1."

"Bell! Finally!" Octavia ran towards her brother. As usually he was shouting orders. Ohh the bossy mood is awake she thought, knowing that this would often happens when there was something worrying him.

"Hey O, what's up?" he probably tried to sound light-hearted, but it sounded as he was about to shoot someone.

"I just need some herbs in the storage ship."

"Why you can't get yourself?" he snapped.

"Outch! I was just asking my beloved brother a favor." she faked a disappointed look, but seemed to work. Bellamy's perception skills were off. The tiredness had put down the walls he used to hide his feelings.

"Sorry, I'm just stressed."

"It's okay. She's not easing, is she?"

"Not at… hey!" he was taken aback by the question. She was smiling innocently at him, but her eyes sparkle with mischief. "There weren't any herbs I should find to you?"

"Very well bro! That's how we talk!"

He snorted and headed to the storage ship on the other side of the camp. Octavia waited until he was far enough to communicate with the others.

"The knight is heading to the ship. How's your situation Eagle-2?"

"Who the hell is the Eagle-2" asked Miller.

"It's me" Murphy answered.

"I thought you were the 6." added Monty.

"He IS the 6, Lincoln is the 2."

"I don't even know how this device works, can you hear me O?"

"OH SHUT UP EVERYONE!" Raven shouted. "Let's stop with the stupid codenames!"

"We should call her Pissed…OUTCH! What was that for?"

"You should know when to shut your mouth Wick."

"Now, now Lincoln?"

"I'm going to talk to her."

"Roger!"

"Excuse me, Clarke can I ask you a favor?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

Lincoln was a horrible liar, he didn't like to lie to Clarke. And more, he didn't believe in this crazy plan created by a bunch of bored teenagers. However, in the inside he knew it was for the sake of the group and he was feeling bad for the brave leader of the sky people, that girl was strong. And grounders valued strength. He started to repeat the exactly words Octavia told him.

"O asked me if I could get some supplies at the storage ship, but I don't know if I can go, do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course."

"So, could you go…"

"Yes, I'll be right back." she sighed, fatigue visible in all her features.

"Thank you." He secretly hoped for the plan to work, but he wouldn't say it out loud, grounders couldn't show signs of softness.

"O, she's on her way."

"You're amazing Lincoln!" she answered, her voice full of joy. That's why he would always do everything for her. Octavia was his precious warrior.

"You guys heard it? Miller, Murphy and Jasper you need to be in your places."

"Got it!"

A few moments later Jasper's voice filled the walkies channel.

"Oh Clarke is in!"

"Bellamy is almost there, he's entering" said Miller.

"Hear that Monty? Send the signal to Raven and Wick."

"Understood."

He used the device to send an alarm to Wick's one. He looked at Raven and made positive sign. She was actually enjoying the plan, and this part was even more funny. She opened the head panel on the outside of the ship and found the green wire that controlled the doors.

"Ready."

"Do it!" he said.

She cut the wire and the heavy sound of the metal doors closing was all they could hear. And then the cheerful squeals of Octavia. They all turned to the storage ship.

"And now what?"

"We let them here 'till tomorrow."

"You mean they are going to be locked together the whole night?" Miller was dumbfounded.

"Well they have a lot to talk."

"If they don't kill each other till morning." Jasper added.

"They can do something else too." grinned Wick.

"They wouldn't…" Octavia was interrupted by a teasing Murphy.

"'Wanna bet?"

"Of course."

"You're so childish." scolded Monty. "Two packages of vitamins they will do it!"

Hey guys, did you liked it?
