"Damn it!" Raven tossed in the air that map. "I can not find a solution Clarke. If I'll blow the air duct, we could all die. It's too dangerous."
"C'mon Raven, you can do this. I trust you."
"I know, but really, there is no way." She said resigning.
"Okay, it's alright.. we'll find another plan."
"Clarke.." Monty entered the room quickly. "Bellamy is looking for you. He said that it's very important."
"I'm coming. " the blondie nodded "Raven, I will be back later…"
"It's fine..I'll go take a shower, I really need it right now."
Clarke nodded smiling at the mechanic and walked away disappearing behind the door.
*knock knock*
Octavia knocked on the door several times.
*knock knock*
Another time. Nothing.
"Okay. I'm walking in.." and in the moment she entered that room, Raven came out of the shower, half naked.
"Octavia what a fuck-"
The gaze of the warrior lingered the body of the mechanic, she was fascinated by every detail.
Raven covered herself as she could. Octavia swallowed, starting to sweat. The air was steamy.
"Oh, please, nothing that I've never seen before." She said, hiding a little uncomfortable hoping she wouldn't notice.
Instead, Raven was clearly embarrassed.
"What are you doing here, Octavia?" she asked annoyed, wearing her usual pant.
"Why aren't you working on the map?"
"Because I can't find a way to make an explosion without killing us."
"And so you stopped trying?" she said narrowing her eyes.
Raven didn't answer.
"Okay sweety. First, sit here.." Octavia motioned to sit on the chair. "Second, I can still see your boobs, so please, wear a shirt…" she threw a mesh at her. Raven blushed taking it. "And third, wait for me, I'll come back in a minute."
Raven nodded, wearing the shirt. She reflected her own face in the mirror, biding her hair in a very long tail. She had no idea what Octavia was devising, but she was very curious. Everybody was counting on her as always, but she could not find a way this time. The mechanic closed her eyes trying to push away the tears. No success.
"I'm back!" Octavia screamed and Raven wiped quickly her face.
"I'm here…" she said coming back in the room and losing a beat when she noticed a cup in Octavia's hand. "What is this?" she asked rolling her eyes.
"It's a cup of tea. Warm tea!" the warrior nodded happily.
"And who is it for?"
"For you! You seem so very stressed to me…it will calm you."
A little smile appeared on Raven's face.
"How did you get it?"
"You're welcome eh!" Octavia raised an eyebrow. "By the way, Monty's knowledge of herbs does wonders!"
"Thank you!" she took the cup sipping the hot liquid.
"Finally...so, what's wrong with the plan?"
"Uhg.."
"Talk to me!"
"You are not so smart in this field…"
"I can surprise you!"
"I have doubts"
"Fuck you" the warrior looked down, standing up.
"Okay, okay.." Raven held her arm, trying to make her sit again. "See here.." she pointed at a precise point on the map. "If I place a bomb here I could unleash a devastating explosion. Everyone will jump in the air. But at the same time this is the only strategic point to stop the machines that give energy to robots."
"Uhm… and how can we ensure those things work?"
"This is the point. I don't know!" Raven said afflicted.
"Okay, look at me." Octavia grabbed her by the arms, shaking her. "You are a real pain in the ass, but I have to admit that If there is a person who can fix things, it is you. So stop to feeling sorry for yourself and get busy."
"Octavia…"
"Don't say it. You are the most smart person on this world and I respect you. I know it's hard… it's always hard, but you can do this. And I know that you're doing all this to hear you say this. You are important for this society. Without you we would have died a long time ago. So please, be Raven. Try to do one of those strange things that you do and that strangely always work. Be yourself, you're amazing!" she paused. "And you know, I'm still going out because it's too embarrassing." she finished quickly.
Raven smiled putting her arms around Octavia's neck. The warrior stood motionless, the arms along her own body. She was surprised.
"You're…"
"Sexy? Beautiful? Perfect?" she pulled to guess.
"I was going to say 'ass licking'… but I think that you are sexy and beautiful too." The mechanic smiled breathing on her skin.
"Yeah, I think this too." Octavia hugged her back, deeply inhaling her scent.
