I realize that Lexa and Costia would be speaking solely trigedasleng, but for the sake of simplicity in understanding, they'll mostly be speaking English. I also loosely follow the story starting mid season 2 but only loosely. Mostly an introduction chapter of a major character. tell me what you guys think and if you'd be interested in the story developing. thanks.

disclaimer: I don't own the 100 or any of the characters.

Chapter 1

Lexa sits on the floor at the foot of her bed. Legs crossed and eyes closed. No war paint or armor. she's slowing her breathing, looking to clear her mind in search of answers from past commanders. Although the coalition between the 12 clans is strong, there is still the mountain men to deal with and now, also the sky people. she's been having dreams that almost feel like warnings. She just wishes she understood them better.

There's a soft knock on the door and Lexa's face slowly breaks into a smirk. The commander had come to recognize even the way she knocks. Costia.

"Enter." She keeps her place on the floor, keeping her composed look of indifference in front of her guards.

The guards open the door and Costia nods at the them in gratitude as she walks in and they close the door behind her.

Lexa looks up at her, noticing she looks very unchanged since the last time she saw her. It's been maybe 2 full moons. Registering the only change in her seems to be her hair. Her short, shoulder length hair has grown ever so slightly. the dark colored curls frame her tan skin so beautifully. Her clothes are modest and even tell a tale of long travel, but not even that can hide her beauty.

Lexa starts to stand from the floor.

"Commander." Costia says with a slight smile of her own, then puts her hands behind her back, half mimicking Lexa's usual stance. The hazel color in her eyes looks gently on to Lexa as she approaches.

"It's good to see you." Lexa says, wrapping one arm around her, bringing one of her hands from behind her and to her lips.

Costia's face breaks into a full smile now. She traces Lexa's cheek tenderly with her finger while she watches her speak.

"I assume there's good reason behind why I've missed your presence for so long."

Costia nods and closes the space between their faces, placing a long soft kiss on Lexa's lips. She pulls back slightly after a few seconds, but remains close enough to feel Lexa's breath on her lips.

"Many things to learn when it concerns becoming a better healer, heda."

She smiles again.

Lexa is the one to close the space between them this time. She runs her fingers in Costia's hair with one hand and uses the other to pull her against her by the small of her back.

"After Azgeda's threats, I worry for you." Lexa's lips are close to Costia's as she speaks these words.

Costia grabs at Lexa's shirt by the collar as Lexa starts placing kisses down her neck, while continuing to talk into her skin. "I know the coalition seems strong but I still fear for your safety."

Just then, there's a knock on the door. More Urgent than Costia's knock had been.

Lexa closes her eyes in resignation, sighs deeply, and takes a step away from Costia. The girl gives the commander an understanding nod.

Lexa clears her throats "enter." She says, putting her hands behind her back in her usual stance, which makes Costia smile to herself.

Titus walks in

"Commander," he bows his head as he says this, then looks to Costia and back to Lexa.

"I'm sorry to interrupt."

"On with it, what is the trouble?" Lexa says short and serious.

"It's the sky people, heda." he announces.

" 300 of our warriors are dead. Some type of fire. I'm afraid we underestimated the sky people."

Lexa's face tightens at this in surprise.

"What of Anya?" she keeps her tone steady.

"Forgive me commander, I don't know much of that." Titus looks down, then continues, "We do have two of their leaders. They're in shackles. Perhaps they know. They speak of wanting a truce."

Lexa looks at Costia who's making her presence almost unnoticeable. She's good at this. Their eyes meet for a moment, Lexa reads worry within them.

"Take me to them." She says to Titus and nods at Costia as she follows Him out.

The girl remains standing in the room as the guards close the doors behind Titus and Lexa. She walks towards the bed and and sits, running her fingers through the fur covers.

something on the bed catches Costia's eye. A closed book sitting next to one of the pillows on the head of bed. She takes it and immediately recognizes the beat up cover. It was a book she had left with Lexa on one of the last times she had been in her bed.

"from what I understood from this book," she had started as they both laid naked underneath furs. "there's a place called Jupiter, a planet if you may," She held the book in her hands as she told Lexa this, her eyes were tired but attentive.

The candles flickered of Lexa's face and she had to pause for a moment to keep her composure at the sight. Lexa's eyes looked on, puzzled, waiting for her to finish her thoughts. "in Jupiter, time moves slower." She said running her fingers down Lexa's chest and then her stomach gingerly.
"when we lay here like this, I wish we were in Jupiter."
Lexa allows herself a full smile at this and reaches over to kiss Costia's lips.
