I don't own the 100! The ages have been tweaked so Lexa is 22, Clarke 18 and Aiden is 17 just for the purpose of the story.
"You're going where? To do what!" Aiden's shocked voice filtered through the phone, it was the same night that James Roth had told Lexa she was going to be Clarke Griffin's primary protection detail. As insane as that sounded to Lexa, she couldn't help but share the news with the closest family she had.
"Arkadia University, I'm sure you've heard of it!" Lexa replied sarcastically, the two had been on the phone for over five minutes and this was the third time Aiden had repeated that same question.
"Yeah of course I have! but Arkadia! and you're going to be protecting the President's daughter! This is so cool!"
Lexa sighed to herself, falling back onto the bed in her small DC apartment, "Well I am in the Secret Service Aiden, it's not like I'm not capable!"
"Yeah, I know that. They don't call you the Commander for no reason but this is big Lex!" Aiden couldn't get his head round the amazing opportunity his sister had been presented with, "This is Clarke Griffin were talking about! This could finally be your chance to move up the ranks just like you've been trying too," Her younger brother continued.
"I know this is big and that's the problem, what if I mess up and something happens to her! I'd lose my job so quick I wouldn't even have time to blink!" Lexa admitted her fears to her brother. The thoughts had been swirling around her head ever since she'd heard the news in James' office.
Aiden sighed to himself, his sister was very good at hiding her emotions, her job being a big indication of why she could but he was one of the few people who could see right through her and this was one of those times," Look Lexa, I understand that your scared but you've been trained for this! You know what you're doing and think of the benefits this could have on your career, you could end up on the Presidents protection detail!"
"I know Aiden and I understand that but I mean this is Clarke Griffin, the American public loves her!" The brunette girl had now stood up and was pacing the small room that was her bedroom, a habit she knew she'd have to stop.
"Lexa Woods!" The teenager finally snapped, knowing that being firm with her will make his older sister understand… no matter how scary he found her.
"You're going to do fine! I remember when I was little and you were telling me that you were going to protect the President one day and that day is coming closer and closer, Lexa this is your dream and you're finally going to achieve it!"
Lexa was quite for a few minutes before she sat down on the edge of her bed in defeat," you're right Aiden, thank you,"
" I'm your brother… being right is what I'm here for," Aiden smiled to himself at finally getting through to her, she could be stubborn when she wanted to. "So, is it just going to be you going?"
"No there's going to be a few other agents on campus because I can't be awake 24/7 but I'm going to be here primary protection, but it was made clear that I need to be inconspicuous, I think that's the only way they got her to agree to this,"
"Well Lex, it sounds like you're going to have your work cut out for you,"
"Actually, Aiden I have the feeling I'm being thrown into the deep end," Lexa muttered more to herself rather than her brother.
Jake was just finishing up signing some papers when he heard the knock on the office door, "Come in," He called already knowing who it was going to be.
"Sir," A young brunette women greeted as she walked in.
Her hair tied up in braids and black suit ironed to perfection. As soon as Jake had set eyes on the girl, he knew they'd picked the right choice. She was only a few years older than Clarke and had a stern yet kind face which gave him hope she could keep his daughter in line.
"Lexa Woods, yes? "The President questioned even though he already knew the answer.
"That's me, Sir," Lexa answered as she made her way to stand in front of his desk, she couldn't believe it, she was actually meeting the President.
"I take it that James Roth has informed you about everything?"
"Yes, he has Sir. It is an honour to be given this job," Lexa replied honestly, causing Jake to send an honest smile at her.
"When me and James' were picking candidates for this job you were the one that stood out the most and that's why I picked you and James agreed,"
This was news to Lexa. She knew that James Roth had picked her but knowing that the President also had something to do with it was a definite boost to her confidence.
"The thing is Miss Woods… this is my little girl," Jake stated moving from around the desk to stand next to the young agent and resting a hand on her shoulder, " I need you to tell me right now that you will do your best to protect her at all costs, I'm not asking you to promise anything, I'm just asking you to try your best, I can't lose her,"
"I can understand why you could be skeptical. I haven't been in the agency for a year yet, but when I took that oath to serve and protect to the best of my ability… I meant it and I did even before I took the oath! and if this means protecting your daughter to my dying breath, then so be it!" Lexa breathed heavily, knowing she properly shouldn't have said all of that in front of the President of the United States but she needed him to know she was serious about her job.
Jake was just about to reply, his hand tightening on Lexa's shoulder, when his daughter walked through the office door engrossed in her phone, "Clarke! honey your early," He smiled moving away from Lexa to pull his daughter into a hug.
"Only like five minutes," Clarke scoffed playfully before returning her father's hug.
Lexa attempted to school her stunned features whilst the scene between father and daughter was taking place just meters away from where she was stood in the Oval Office. She'd already known that Clarke Griffin was a very beautiful women from pictures on the internet and her being on TV but they did not do her the justice she deserved saying she was beautiful was an understanding and she had Lexa mesmerised the moment she walked in.
"Oh, is this my walking gun," Clarke asked dryly once she'd let go of her father, her eyes sweeping over Lexa.
"Clarke, be nice," Jake chided with a hint of pleading in his voice, he hated when his daughter was difficult which she could be at times but she was generally a nice happy girl. However, he was coming to realise that being the President's daughter was starting to affect her.
"I know I agreed to this, but it doesn't mean I have to like it," Clarke huffed moving closer into her father office to sit on the couch closest to Lexa.
Jake resisted the urge to roll his eyes before he turned back towards the agent," Lexa Woods, this is my daughter Clark Griffin. Clarke, this is Lexa Woods your new protection detail,"
"It's nice to meet you ma'am," Lexa nodded towards the blonde-haired girl sat on the couch with a slight smile, knowing that it would properly be better than the blank expression most Secret Service Agents wear.
"Don't call me ma'am," Clarke ran a hand over her face in irritation, why did she even need a stupid protection detail she was 18!
"My apologies Miss Griffin," Lexa stated formally, not really sure how to take the conversation with the President of the United States and his daughter.
"I thought you said she wouldn't have to wear a suit, I told you everyone will stare!" Clarke complained. She knew she was being difficult and acting like a bitch but she was still struggling to get her head around her dad being the President amongst trying to be a normal teenager simultaneously.
"All agents have to wear suits in the White House Miss Griffin but I won't be when we meet at Arkadia at the end of the week," Lexa reassured her before Jake could even open his mouth causing his smile to widen, he had picked the right person for the job.
