CHAPTER 1 SPACEKRU

"Guys! I finally figured it out!" Raven ran into the living area, overenthusiastic, but no one responded.

"Guys?" The crew were sitting at the table, only a few looked up, but the rest of them stared at the table. Raven thought she was interrupting something.

She walked up to her secret lover, placed her hands on her hips and just stared at him.

He slowly turned his head towards her, but her enthusiasm had no effect on him. "Raven. Sit down."

Now she really got angry. "Do you listen to any word I say?"

Monty sighed. "Raven, just do what he says, okay?"

But Raven stayed right where she was and didn't move away from him. "You don't own me Bellamy." she talked with her hands. "So, weather you like it or not, I'm going back to the computer, to install the new program. And I'm telling you, this one will bring us to the ground."

Bellamy looked down, he sighed and then hit the table real hard, every one jumped up. "I said; sit down!"

Now Murphy got up and slowly walked around the table, his eyes were spitting fire. You could hear a pin drop. Every one was anxious if there would be another fight between the two -very different- leaders.

He nodded at Raven and gestured her to leave, which she did. When he stood behind Bellamy, he stopped and hissed. "That is not how you treat you girlfriend."

Bellamy slowly looked up and sarcastically began to laugh. "First of all, she is not my girlfriend." then his face got serious again. "And second of all, it's non of damn your business Murphy." He tried to protect Echo's feelings, because he was involved with her too. It was clear that Murphy was angry about it, about how he used them.

Murphy rolled his eyes. "Right. But you know, after the thousandth attempt to help us survive, she might have figured it out for real. You should always respect her and take her seriously. Like you used to."

Emoiry nodded, she was so proud of her man, they were still together and very happy.

Bellamy now stood up and gave John a threatening look. "I always take Raven very seriously. But I shouldn't have to remember you about our meeting, a few days ago. About how we ALL agreed to end this. There's no way we will make it to earth and you know it!" He let himself fall back in his chair and folded his arms. A lock of his long hair fell on his sweaty forehead. It was quiet, but he wasn't done talking yet.

"You should not doubt my leadership. I have always done what I thought was best for my people, even now. We shouldn't suffer unnecessary, a slow painful death is not what I want for my friends. You agreed to that."

Murphy paced back and forward as he was listening to Bellamy, he looked away and sighed. "So yes...let's all just give up, shall we? Yeah, that's definitely good leadership. Seriously, I thought about it...and you know what that is? It sounds like a pretty-damn-good-Jaha-kind-of-leadership to me." He looked around to see what the others thought, but they stayed quiet.

Bellamy shook his head. "Look who's talking about good leadership. Don't make me laugh."

The group was tight, like a family, they had really bonded in those six years. It was very hard, but they hadn't just decided something. They were trying to go home now, for more then a year. And the first signs of lack of oxygen were there. There weren't any options left and their hopes were gone. Now they ran almost out of supplies and the oxygen level started to get dangerously low, they just weren't prepared for an extra year up in space.

But Raven Reyes never gives up. She worked her butt off, every single day, busy finding the solution. Over and over, she tried to figure out how to bring 'Spacekru' back to earth. A huge lack of sleep, headaches, endless discussions with Bellamy...it still felt so unfair. But, the final decision was made and Monty wasn't allowed to help her any more. It affected Raven's friendship with Bellamy. And the others took her less serious after each failing attempt, despite all that, she still would not give up.

… … …

Monty, who wasn't allowed to help, was by her side anyway. They teamed up, just like they did when they needed to shut down ALIE. Monty just had to follow every move Raven made, because he was smart. Almost just as smart as her, he knew that she almost had found the solution.

It was quiet, but after some time Raven suddenly got very exited "No way! This can't be...can it? Oh my god!" Raven looked at Monty "Did you hear that?" her eyes were wide open. She looked at the radio again and checked the frequency.

His eyes were just as far opened as hers. Monty smiled, finally a smile filled with new hope again...and his eyes, they were shining. He walked at her and helped her finding the right frequency.

"It must be them." he softly said.

Raven couldn't wipe that smile off her face and nodded. She wanted to say something, but then her attitude changed.

"Are you okay?" Monty asked and put his hand on her shoulder.

Raven shook her head "I dunno..." she looked pale and her eyes were different. Before Monty could say or do anything else, she fell on the ground and didn't move.

"Raven!"

… … …

Bellamy was busy training, in his room. After overcoming depression in the first years, he found out that he needed physical training every day. Back then he had to admit to himself that he hadn't only lost his sister, but also his soulmate. And it really teared him up inside.

Somewhere along the journey Bellamy had pushed it far enough that the group insisted to vote for another -back up- leader. And they wanted John Murphy to fulfill that role, who would only agree if Bellamy would do it together. Murphy did that out of protection, to keep him from giving up at the time. And because Bellamy was in fact the true leader.

It had been quite a journey, Clarke would be so proud of him. If he only knew she was still alive...

… …. …

When Murphy banged on the door -which was locked- for the second time, Bellamy finally responded.

"What!" he snapped when he opened up.

He was all sweaty and shivered a bit.

Murphy observed him while leaning against the door. He shook his head, not even want to mention that it was forbidden to lock any door. Then he sarcastically began to inform him.

"I don't know if you still care, but one of your girlfriends isn't feeling so well. So ehm, if you have some hope left, I would come with me...if I were you."

Bellamy frowned. "Where is she?"

They walked to the the bridge. Monty sat there kneeled, on the floor, next to a collapsed Raven. Concern was written all over his face.

Bellamy seemed icy calm, but inside he was anxious "What happened?" He asked Monty.

"We thought we heard something on the radio, then suddenly she collapsed. What do we do?"

Bellamy knelt down and quickly did a check up, when he felt her pulse he nodded that she was okay.

Muprhy was already busy to get some emergency supplies, but his co-leader was still sharp and glared at him.

"No Murphy."

But Murphy ignored him. Saving Raven was the most important thing right now.

Monty had a sad and questioning look on his face. "We should give her some oxygen Bellamy..."

But Bellamy didn't respond, he still thought they would soon all be dead anyway.

He leaned over Raven, his voice changed when he started talking to her. "Raven, are you still with us? Hey, remember what you promised me." he caressed her cheek and when he wanted to say something again, they all saw she was waking up.

Monty laughed relieved "She squeezed my hand!"

A tiny smile appeared on Bellamy's face when they saw Raven's eye-lids move. But when he stood up, the smile was already far gone and he had that empty look in his eyes again.

"Take care of her, I'll be in my room." He demanded. "You should put that back where it belongs Murphy."

Murphy did what he said. "Sir yes sir." he saluted as a real soldier and gave him an angry look, Bellamy left.

Monty was busy caring for Raven and helped her sit up. Murphy watched him, while he was concerned about Bellamy and whispered. "You saw that? He was sweating and shivering."

"That's not surprising with the kind of training he does. He shouldn't, but it doesn't matter, he won't listen to any of us." Monty whispered back, he had been disappointed in Bellamy quite a few times in those six years.

Raven was just trying to sit up and moaned a bit.

"Hey...take it easy, you shouldn't get up so soon." Monty said.

"Right." But Raven tried to stand up immediately, which made her almost faint again.

"Hey easy!" Murphy grabbed her just on time.

Raven smiled. "Wow, two men to save me." She looked at them and then at Monty. "I could still really use your help to install the new program you know?"

Monty looked down. "You know my new orders."

But Murphy had enough. "Yeah we do, but it's not like Bellamy is the only one who's in charge here, is he? So as from now, the rules have changed; you stay here to help Raven."

Raven's face lit up when she heard him say that. "You really have proved yourself here, you know? All the good you have done here, I mean six years ago I really thought you were nothing but a leech. Now? I see you as a friend and great leader."

"Thank you Raven, but we're still doing this together. I'll talk to Bellamy, as soon as he's done with his stupid training."

"No need for that." They suddenly heard behind them. He glared at Raven and walked up to her, saying "We're done".

Raven got so angry at him, but she was to weak to stand up straight and stayed in her chair. "What do you mean we're done? I was just using you." All the sex they've had in those six years, it was to get over the ones they'd lost. Because of Finn and Clarke. They were each others rebound and they knew it.

But it was a painful thing to say out loud. And she said it because he somehow hurt her too, being 'second favorite', again. It was like that with Finn, but also with Bellamy.

Bellamy walked closer towards her, inside he was raging, but then Murphy got in the way.

"We should have a talk. You and me." He insisted and didn't move one bit.

Bellamy was angry, but tried to stay calm "If you got something to say to me, spit it out."

Murphy had that enjoying smirk on his face and waited -just a bit to long- to answer. "We should have another meeting and give Raven the opportunity to tell about her new program."

Instead of answering Murphy, Bellamy looked at Raven. "You really think you got it this time?"

She could only nod at him. He frowned and turned slowly, ready to walk away, then suddenly he looked back and said "Then what the hell are you waiting for?"

Bellamy didn't want another fight and just walked out. The others first couldn't believe it, Raven and Monty were amazed, but widely smiling at each other. Their hands itching, so ready to get started! But the program needed to wait now, the radio needed their attention right away.

I hope you guys enjoyed it! Next chapters will be more about Clarke and also about the Bunker. How's Octavia doing, is she still in charge, is every one still alive, what changed and...will all of the friends reunite? ;)
