Clark came home the next night after work with her arms full of groceries. She refused to make a second trip to her car in the cold winter air and the result was her arms so full of bags she could hardly see where she was going. She got to the landing of her floor and lost her balance as a bag fell over.

"Whoo! let me help you" A voice she couldn't see called out.

"Just please tell me it wasn't the eggs" Clark asked

"Nope, just a box of cereal, oh frosted flakes my favorite." The voice said as a girl popped into Clark's view. She instantly recognized her from the one she saw last night, Long wavy hair, smiling dark eyes and full lips.

"Oh good" Clark breathed.

"You must be my new neighbor! I'm Lexa" She said extending a hand.

"I umm…Clark " Clark said wishing she could take it but her hands were to full of bags.

"Oh sorry!" Lexa giggled lowering her hand and Clark smiled back. She was perky, like majorly perky in her skinny jeans and leather jacket. She had an accent Clark could not quite place.

"I'm heading off to a friends house, but we should hang out some time. It was so creepy being the only one on this floor" Lexa said.

"Yeah, definitely" Clark nodded, she felt like all common sense had left her for some reason.

"I have a late class tomorrow but what about the day after, Saturday? how about tea at my place?"

"I'd love to" Clark nodded again. Tea, did Clark like tea? Had she ever even had tea?

"Great! Come by anytime after 10 see you later!" Lexa cried and went down the stairs taking them two at a time. Clark stood for a minute wondering what had just happened before losing her grip and the bag Lexa had just picked up fell to the floor again.

"Damn it" Clark muttered putting all the bags down and searching for her keys.


"Raven?" Abby said surprised to find the girl sitting on the steps to her house when she came home from work that night.

"Sorry, I know this is totally creepy but I can't get them to stop itching" Raven said.

"I…come in, how did you find me?" Abby asked.

"Google"

"Well, that's unsettling" Abby muttered unlocking her door and leading Raven inside.

"Sweet digs" Raven said looking around the big entryway.

"Thanks, come into the kitchen I can unwrap them and take a look" Abby lead her though the big house.

"I'm sorry I'm probably totally invading on your family time" Raven said.

"It's just me here"

"Really?"

"Yup, sit down, you want a drink?" Abby asked.

"Water's cool" Raven sat down at the island counter top as Abby handed her a glass full of water.

"So no kids?"

"Nope"

"You seem like the kind of person who would have kids." Raven said.

"Well I don't. Put your arms up here let's take a look" Abby said.

"Are you sure you know what you are doing? At the hospital you always had a nurse do this" Raven asked as Abby pulled out some ointment and shot her a look.

"Of course I do." Abby shot her a look making Raven smile as Abby reached out and started unwrapping her arm. Raven's arms was angry red.

"Were you scratching it?" Abby asked wetting a cotton ball.

"No" Raven said, Abby just looked up at her with an eyebrow raised.

"Well there's nothing else to do1 you won't let me go back to work!" Raven cried making Abby laugh.

"Put your hand flat, this might sting but it will take away the itching, next time try ice" Abby said as she placed the cotton ball on Raven's arm. Raven sucked in a breath and Abby knew for her to have a reaction it must really sting.

"Sorry, hang on this will help it" Abby reached out taking Raven's hand in her's as she went to dab the cotton ball again. As soon as her hand touched Raven's a flash went through her head. She had seen Raven before, she had operated on her before. Abby and Raven both pulled back as she looked at each other.

"Did you?" Abby asked.

"Yeah…" Raven whispered.

"Come here" Abby said again as Raven took her hand and they held on longer. Suddenly it all came back, the Ark, Clark, sending the kids to the ground, Raven building the exit ship and falling to earth meeting up with all the kids. Abby finding Clark again, surviving on the earth.

"I remember" Raven whispered as Abby looked up at her again.

"I have to find Clark." Abby said breathlessly as she tried to understand everything that was going on.

"We'll find her" Raven nodded firmly assuring her.

"We'll find everyone" She added.


Octavia went back to the diner after school, Luke did give her the job just like Bellamy had said with the acceptation that she would not get arrested. She agreed and started working on the spot. By the end of the day her feet were sore and her back hurt as she walked back to the motel. It was already dark out and she was trying to figure out hows she was going to get her homework down when a voice came out of a dark ally next to her.

"Hey there pretty lady" It said as a man stepped out of the shadows. He towered over her with long dirty hair and missing teeth. This would probably be one of the reasons Bell never let her walk alone at night. Octavia tried to ignore him and keep walking but his foot steps followed her.

"Where are you going, I thought we could chat" He said walking behind her.

"I'm busy" She said quickening her pace a little.

"Hey wait" He grabbed her arm hard. Octavia tried to pull away but his fingers tightened around her wrist digging deep into her muscles.

"Let go!" Octavia yelled and out of no where another man came running over punching the one holding her square in the jaw making him let go staggering backwards.

"She said to leave her alone" The second man said gruffly as the first took off running. Octavia held her arm where he had grabbed her trying to catch her breath.

"Are you ok" The new man asked as Octavia took a minute to look him over. She wasn't sure if she was any safer then she had been two minutes ago. This man was younger but clearly stronger and towered over her. He was almost bald with one strip of short hair down the middle. He had a slight stubble of facial hair and wore all black.

"I'm fine, I should go" Octavia said as she tried walking away.

"Your arm, did he hurt you?" The man asked.

"No, No I'm fine" Octavia said all but ran the rest of the way back to the motel.


"So Mr Blake, your court appointment is set for in the morning, I assume you will be using a court appointed lawyer?" Officer Kane said as Bellamy sat across from him at the table.

"Yes sir" Bellamy muttered.

"But you understand you'll probably be going away right? I mean, we can't have you out on the streets again anytime soon"

"Yes sir" Bellamy said again. Officer Kane gave him a long look over.

"What's your story boy?"

"I don't really have one sir"

"Everyone has a story, your sister? you two seem close, you have other family?"

"There's no story" Bellamy said again. He couldn't tell the truth, someone would go looking for Octavia and who knew where she would end up. He might never find her again.

"Alright, well we'll come get you in the morning then" Kane said gently, he had seemed to soften up when he saw how easily Bellamy was willing to work with him.

"Yes sir" Bellamy said again.


"So where do we start?" Raven asked as Abby grabbed her computer from the table.

"Here take my phone, start looking up everyone, see if we can find them" Abby said pulling her phone from her bag and was already typing on her computer. Raven looked down at the phone taking a deep breath. Abby may be ready to jump in but she needed a minute, everything was rushing back to her. Abby trying to go with her to the ground, meeting up with all the kids there, the battles, getting shot, her leg. Raven reached down bending her knee testing it, it still worked. Abby glanced at her.

"I don't think it works like that" She offered Raven a smile.

"I just, I don't understand" Raven whispered.

"me either, but if we find more people, maybe we can together" Abby whispered Raven nodded wanting to believe her.

"Here, when you find one put their name and location down on this, I'll look up Clark" Abby pulled out a note pad. Raven nodded opening the search on the phone she typed in the first name.

"Come on Blake, one of you pop up" She muttered
