Prompt #1: Jealous!Kane. Abby talks too much with a Grounder.
They were walking back to TonDC, Clarke and Lexa were already there waiting for the others to arrive, they had a lot of plans to approve. War was near and they had to be ready. The Sky crew and the Grounders were marching together side by side towards the village but they were still divided into two groups as if they were still afraid of one another, afraid of what the other could do at the first given chance.
Abby thought it was her job to show her people that they could trust them so she started walking towards one of the Grounders, Marcus grabbed her arm turning her around making her look at him.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm gonna talk with them, if we want this alliance to work we have to trust each other not be afraid"
"We don't know if we can trust them Abby"
"Well Clarke think we should and so do i, so i'm going to walk with them"
Marcus let her go still not convinced if she was doing the right thing or not.
Abby approached one of them. Feeling completely unafraid and confident that he would not tell her to get back to her people.
"Hey"
"Hey Sky girl"
"I'm Abby"
"Shouldn't you be walking with your people?"
"You are my people too now"
The Grounder looked at her suspiciously.
"My name is Atlas"
"Atlas? Interesting name"
"So Sky girl, you're their leader right?"
"Yes i'm the Chancellor"
"So Clarke is your daughter"
"Yes that's right"
"She is respected here, our people trust her"
"I know, she's a great leader"
"She must take after her mother"
Abby turned to Atlas and smiled.
"You are a healer right?"
"Yes i'm a doctor, how do you know?"
"You were the one who fixed Lincoln, i was there with Indra, this alliance is thanks to you too, my Commander was impressed"
"Well we had to give her something, didn't we? So what are you?"
"I'm a warrior, just like my brother and my sister"
"Are them here?"
"No, they died, well my sister did, my brother became a reaper but is feels like he did too"
"The Mountain Men have him?"
"Yes that's why i wanna win this war, im doing this for him"
"We'll find him, our people working together will win this war"
"I hope you're right Sky girl….Abby"
"I'm almost never wrong"
Abby then smiled at him and Atlas smiled back.
Marcus observed Abby and the Grounder interact from afar, his eyes never leaving the pair walking side by side. He saw Abby smile and froze, he didn't want to admit it but he felt a pang of jealousy hit him right in the chest.
He and Abby got closer, they were friends now or better they found their friendship again, the one they shared so many years ago.
He didn't know how he felt about her, he cared, but was it something more? He wasnt sure. He was only sure that he was jealous of a Grounder who was just talking to her and apparently making her smile and unfortunately she didn't smile often. Not as much as she used to once at least.
He walked nearer to the pair, trying to hear what they were saying.
"We are almost there"
"Good"
"You tired?"
"Never"
"Good answer"
This time he smiled at her and she responded.
They kept walking for another twenty minutes and finally made it to the village.
"I have to go find Clarke"
"Sure"
"Nice meeting you Atlas"
"Nice meeting you too Abby of the Sky people"
Abby walked back to where Marcus was standing.
"Did it work?"
"Yes, Sinclair and the others walked with a group of Grounders too"
"Good"
"So who was he?"
"His name is Atlas, he is one of their warriors, the Mountain Men turned his brother into a reaper, he wants to fight for him"
"Makes sense. You must have made a good impression on him"
"Why?"
"He's looking at you"
Marcus said feeling that pang of jealousy all over again.
Abby turned to look at where Atlas was standing and caught him staring at her and Marcus. She turned towards Marcus and and put a hand on his arm. She looked at him understanding what he wasn't saying. She moved slightly closer to where he was standing, invading his personal space and stared at him right in the eyes smiling.
"And i'm looking at you"
And then she walked away towards Lexa's tent, leaving Marcus with a puzzled look his face.
