We Hear You

"Bellamy. If you can hear me, if you're alive, it's been 2,199 days since Praimfiya. I don't know why I still do this every day. Maybe it's my way of staying sane? Not forgetting who I am …. Who I was. It's been safe for you to come down for over a year now. Why haven't you?

The bunkers gone silent too. We tried digging them out for a while but, there was too much rubble. I haven't made contact with them either.

Anyway, I still have hope. Tell raven to aim for the one spot of green and you'll find me. The rest of the planet from what I've seen basically sucks, so.

Never mind I see you."

In the Bunker

"They're here?" "I think if Clarke says she can see Bellamy, that she sees Bellamy. Come on Abby, did you really think my brother wouldn't come back?" "Octavia, it's been so long. I just don't know."

6 Years Earlier

"I am glad to say we have survived for a week since Praimfiya. All of us wouldn't have been able to make it this far had we not been Wonkru. Ogeda. We have survived this. This first week is just a motivation for us survive the next four years and fifty one weeks in here, before we rise from the ashes" said Octavia to Wonkru.

"Well-spoken Octavia. I couldn't be more proud." Smiling, Octavia said "thank you Indra." "Come, let's go meet Kane and Abby."

"You really think this can work?" "I've been helping the Ark wire communications for years Abby, trust me. I don't think I can get our radio to transmit any signals because of the death wave, but we can definitely receive a message. The wires attached to what would initial transmit out were either ripped off or burnt out, preventing us to speak to anyone above the bunker. But, it appears that the receiver was placed lower than transmitter. Leaving us some cables to rewire. And once I connect these two, all we have to do is wait."

"Thank you, Justin." "We're all set. The next time someone tries to talk to us or anyone in range, we will hear it. I'm gonna go get a bite to eat."

"Abby, I'm sure if Bellamy or Clarke made it to the ring they will try to contact us. "Marcus, I hope so. But, what if they're like us? What if they can't transmit either?" Taking Abby's face between his hands, Kane speaks "If there is anything I have seen Bellamy and Clarke do, it is make an impossible situation possible. Have a little faith." Nodding Abby replies, "I have to. If I stop believe in her, I don't think I can survive down here."

Just as Kane begins to open his mouth Octavia knocks on the door and opens it asking "Kane? Abby? Did Justin manage to fix to the radio?" Looking from Abby to Octavia "Yes, he did the best he could. " "What do you mean?" "Marcus let me explain. The cables we need to be able to transmit a signal out are so badly damaged that there is no way for us to communicate to anyone outside of the bunker. But, our receiving cables are fine. Justin was able to fix them so that if anyone tries to reach us, we will hear them." "Okay. I know Bellamy will try as soon as he can. Plus he has Raven. Don't worry Abby I'm sure Clarke and Bell will find a way." "I hope so Octavia."

After about 10 minutes of irrelevant small talk Kane makes the first move.

"Indra, would you like to get something to eat?" "You know Kane I would like that. That way these two can spend the rest of their time down here staring at that radio." Octavia goes to open her mouth when Indra says "You saved all of our people in this bunker. I think you're allowed to worry about your brother and stare at something that may never work. Come on Kane, we have things to do." As Indra leaves the room Kane says "I'm gonna go. You two hang here, find me if you need anything." Giving Abby a kiss on the cheek he walks out.

"Abby, I know you haven't gotten to speak with Clarke." "Octavia, let's not talk about that. Let's just wait for something, any type of signal to come through. Or talk about anything else." Nodding in agreement Octavia tells Abby about a fight she broke up earlier.

Since the radio was somewhat repaired Octavia and Abby had gotten together a routine. Someone was by the radio at all times. In the evenings they would spend some hours together talking about their days and hope to hear anything. After a few hours Octavia fell asleep on the couch. That's when Abby heard a crackling. Walking over to Octavia, she shakes her shoulder "Octavia, wake up. I think something is coming through on the radio."

That's when they heard it. "Bellamy. Bell? It's Clarke. It's been 23 days since Praimfiya. I'm sorry I couldn't try to contact you sooner. I don't know how to say this without you freaking out. Who knows if you can even hear me? I guess it doesn't matter."

"When I went to resent the dish for the ring, I couldn't do it from the ground. I had to climb the tower and manually reset it. By that I mean I physically had to move the satellite dish with my hands. I watched you and raven and everyone leave in the rocket and I turned around to see the death wave. Bellamy, it was terrifying. Green, yellow, and orange coming towards me at the top of the tower. I started to climb down the tower and when I reached the ground I could feel how hot it was suddenly becoming. So I ran. I ran back to Becca's lab and I fell. I cracked my helmet and by some miracle, I don't know how I made it into the lab. I took of my helmet and that's when I knew my mom's premonition came true.

My body burned. I could barely see more than some shadows and I began throwing up. I must have passed out because the next time I woke up I could barely drag my body across the room to where the water supply is. When I reached the water I touched my face, I could feel the boils and they burned and I knew they weren't just on my face. They were all over my body. I passed out again.

I must have been out for at least a day and a half. I finally was able to drink some water and cover my boils with it. Over a week later I can say they are going down. I still have a few on my face, but at least I have my vision. Not being able to see if I was going to survive the death wave by myself scared me more than being alone.

I was able to get our radio working. I remembered somethings from classes I had on the ark, found some pamphlets in the lab, and had seen raven repair enough things to know what to do. Anyway I just go it working now …. Can you hear me?

Bellamy? I'll try to call every day. I need to rest more. My whole death wave, radiation poisoning experience has left me exhausted. I'll try the bunker tomorrow when I'm not as tired. May we meet again."

Abby is in tears and Octavia has no words other than "Clarke isn't in space? She didn't go with them? Oh my god." All Abby could reply through her tears was "She may be here, but she's alive. The night blood solution worked and my baby is alive. Clarke's alive."
