A/N: This is sad xD I just posted this new story that I like so much, yet it seems like maybe nobody likes it~ oh well, your loss.

Warning: This chapter is mostly boring, bear with me, Clarke hasn't found that thing she shouldn't have found yet & not proofread or beta-ed, read at your own risk. Typos ahead. Harsher language ahead.

Chapter 3: Take Charge

Raven had been peacefully catching up with Finn on lost times while hiding under a big shade of a tree, with few smooches and light touches. She had finally had enough and snapped when one delinquent thought it would be fun to take rocks and threw it to dent the dropship for fun. Even though she had not built the dropship herself and it was a total piece of crap, she couldn't for her life ignore it when someone was destroying probably the last piece of technology she would ever touch on Earth.

"Oyy, THAT'S ENOUGH! What the fuck are you kids doing? Drop everything right now, stand in formation, idiots! All of you freaking idiots. Yeah, I am talking to you right there rolling in the mud like a pig, you right there falling from trying to climb a tree for the dozenth time, yes I've been counting. You right there, sucking on that guy's tongue, you's right there eating junk grass. What the hell kind of retards are all of you?" Raven shouted and raved at all of the delinquents, Finn standing by her side trying to calm her down and sooth her rising anger. Everyone had stopped to watch her.

"Who died and made you queen?" a brunette guy with red nose asked in defiance loudly, and his friend slapped him on the shoulder, shouting "Yeah Murphy! Ya tell her."

"Ok, now you little red-nosed lizard, listen very very carefully because I will only say it once. First of all, you guys have to listen to me, because I am the ONLY adult here, and that makes me the boss of you. Ah-ah-ah." She shook her index finger at Murphy cutting him off, "Don't say a word."

When it looked like Murphy was going to defy her and opened his mouth again, she snarled at him, "I SAID ZIP IT, WHAT ARE YOU, DEAF OR DUMB?" She ended her snarl with a loud hiss.

When everyone stayed silent, frightened into it from this bossy and absolutely terrifying woman when angered, she continued, "Second, because unlike all of you imbeciles here, enjoying every single goddamn seconds since we've arrived here, even though I have been hiding in the corner, I was actually formulating a plan for us to survive. Alright, you, right there," She pointed to the nearest blonde girl to her, "What's your name?"

"Harper," the girl answered timidly.

"Harper, since you've been here as long as all of us, what have you done?" Raven inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"Uh… I have been enjoying the rain?" She answered in a question of her own, hoping she was right. But it had to be right, because she really was, but Raven was making her question herself.

"Good, but that wasn't what I was asking for. Other than that, have you thought of how you are going to get food and maybe water, or even a place to sleep? You know not all of us can sleep in the dropship and that if we sleep out there with our wet clothes, we'll probably all become sick and die, right?" Raven asked.

The girl shuffled her foot ashamedly, with her cheeks bright red, "No, I haven't thought of anything at all."

"That's what I thought, and you right there, what's your name?" Raven pointed to another teenager close to her.

"Atom," the boy answered.

"And have you got a plan?"

"No…"

"Ok, so ANYONE right here has any plans at all, come up here and tell me," She waited for a moment, slowly counting down in her head from 30.

When she had finished counting and no one had stepped up, she started again.

"Yeah, so we've been here," she checked her watch then, "for exactly two hours now, and what have we accomplished? Nothing. I bet some of you are already feeling hungry or thirsty now but what can you do about it, except from trying to drink from the puddles? Nothing, that's what. Now, all of you, quietly, obediently all stand in lines in front of me and let's get the work started, this chaos has to end."

Some weaker and younger delinquents started falling into lines, others following slowly as they watched others doing the same. Humans were a lot like animals, because well, we ARE essentially animals, like a herd, we follow as the first started doing something. Soon enough, even the really resistant and hesitant members like Murphy had fallen into the formation, they formed 10 lines of 10, except for the last line which only had 7 people.

"Finn, that includes you," she mentioned, Finn blushed and quickly shuffled into place.

"Two are missing, does anyone know who they are?" Raven asked the group as a whole.

A lot of people just shrugged before someone finally said, "It's the elites, the princess and that Jaha guy."

"Hm… Well, nothing we could do for now. So now, does anyone here have any specific skills that could be helpful?"

She assigned a group leader with every group. Finn to track animals because he always had a knack for it and Monty and Jasper would be helping the group with tips and tricks of building a trap, and a few strong arms to help them set up a trap for the animal(s) they would hopefully be catching. Also, she left them with a small backpack to gather edible leaves and fruits that Monty and Jasper deemed safe enough to eat and also water bottles to collect water.

She assigned a group to find the driest branches and leaves they could find, considering that it had been raining, it would be hard, but they would need a fire. Another group to gather scrap metals and huge broken off branches to make a fence of sort to keep away animals and other wild things. One group was assigned to dig up a huge hole in the group with pieces of scrap metal so that it could act as a pond of sort to gather rain water.

One of them would be doing the dirty job, sort of, they were to section off a part of their newly assigned camp, wall it off to act as a toilet pit of sort, to you know, take care of business so to say. Another would be building a small camp to protect the fire from the outside elements such as the rain, wind and such, so they would always be able to cook or stay warm.

The last group was to build more hopefully stable camps to shelter some of them. Once she had assigned all of the groups, one of them asked what she would be doing and she answered simply in confidence that she would be doing the most important task that she's the best at.

Once she had everything under control, she went back into the dropship, she initiated reconnection to the Ark, hoping to get in contact with the Ark. She just worked tirelessly on her chosen field, knowing that the leader of each group would report to her when they have done their part.

Although from time to time when she got overly frustrated she would head out and checked out all the groups in camps to see if they are doing their parts. She warned specifically that slackers would not get any bits of food today.

The group building the fences was led by Murphy and all of them were obediently under his control and working diligently. The fence left nothing to be desired of, it needed a lot of work but for now, that was all they could do, and all they would need as of the moment.

She patted Murphy on the shoulder, praising him on a job well done, he preened at the attention. Raven has always been a genius, and she had already picked out Murphy as someone who couldn't lead, would love to lead, but would never have the ability to do so, thus would be happy to be the second in charge. As long as he felt he was needed, treated right and praised for his work, he would continually follow in your footsteps and she intended to keep him her bitch, to say it in our language. It's nothing disrespectful, if anything, she knew he would be very loyal, if you knew how to keep him on your side, and she knew just how to do that.

The group that was sectioning off the toilet pit had one slacker and led by Miller, she mentioned that to him and well, their work also left a lot to be desired, she even grimaced like really badly at the toilet pit, she almost doubted that she would ever use it. Once she's talked to him, she walked to the slacker, Atom.

"Atom, wanna explain why you're not working?" She asked with a dangerous undertone in her voice that made Atom shiver in his pants.

"Uh… I was taking a break?" He lied poorly.

"Well, I sure hope your break doesn't take any longer than it should. I've heard you've been here since the work started," Raven casually mentioned, but that dark undertone hadn't gone from her voice.

Atom shuddered visibly and jumped onto his feet, "No, of course not, boss. I'm getting right back." He took off to Miller to ask for his given task.

Raven sighed and wondered how many more of these she would have to handle and whether they would be as easy as Atom. She walked off to the next group, Octavia was the leader and all of them were working diligently and there was already a large amount of water gathered in the dugout pond.

"Good job, O! Pump those guns and show me some arms," Raven shouted playfully at the brunette, she had only talked to Octavia briefly but she had already come to like the girl, she was very curious yet brave and adventurous. She knew O would be an amazing second-in-command too, or something similar to that effect.

Octavia stopped her work for a moment and flexed her non-existent biceps for a moment jokingly, eliciting a chuckle from Raven.

"Get back to work, valde fortis," Raven scolded laughingly and walked off.

"Wait, what does that mean, Voldi Fortis?" Octavia shouted to her back, when Raven did not turn back around to answer her, she called out again, "Raven, Raven! … Rayyy!" She huffed in annoyance when she heard the ringing laughter of one Raven Rayes.

The last two groups building camps were led by Monroe and Fox, Monroe doing far better at the leadership thing than Fox whose group was hardly working and those working not even coordinated, they were all just doing their own thing. Raven sighed resignedly before she took over the job herself and directed the group, telling them what she wanted in ugly crude words, enough to show she wasn't happy with their current progress, how hard was it to make a smoke camp.

After that, she praised Monroe on a job well done and how her shelters actually looked like something she wouldn't mind to actually sleep in. Monroe smiled brightly and said it's not all just her doing, she pointed out Harper in her group who helped with the plan.

"Either way, good job, Monroe. And tell Harper I said so to her too." Harper then saluted in answer. When she turned to go back to the dropship, she saw Octavia behind her.

"What's up, O?" She asked, genuinely curious.

"I think we have dug up a sizeable pond and I came to get you to check on our progress, my group is still digging while I'm here," Octavia reported formally in a no-nonsense voice.

"Alright, let's go check it out, and I'll grade you on your task," Raven added the last part jokingly and Octavia huffed in annoyance behind her.

When they had gotten there, Raven looked closely at it, to the bottom to judge how deep it was and then the width and length of the sort of oval-rectangle pond. With her genius mind, she calculated how likely it was to rain around here, the different seasons, the number of population, and how long this volume of water would last for them in a dry season. What she came out with is not long, but she reckoned she would be able to do something in the long run and for now, this would be good enough for them.

When she finally started nodding her head, everyone in the group held their breath and stopped the work to watch her reaction, "I give you guys an A for effort, C minus for the poor job well done. But the job is done and it should do us for now. Nice work, guys. If you're still up for it, you can help Fox with building the smoke pit, she has like no leadership skills, I need someone there to direct her group, if you will please, Octavia? Those who want to take a break for the whole day may do so, but we still have a lot of job to be done as I speak, alright? Again, well done, guys."

Everyone released that breath that they didn't know they were holding until her approval and they rejoiced for a moment. All of them tired, muddy, wet and worn out but some were ready to work still to help the delinquents in their survival at the moment, while others decided they would take a break, either a short one or for the rest of the day.

Octavia left with the ready manpower to the site of the smoke pit and Octavia started taking over Fox's leadership and bent them to her will. The rest went to lie on the soft wet grass, in the dropship, or watch the other groups work.

Raven was about to return to the dropship when the group collecting firewood and dried dead branches and leaves came back, they carried huge piles in two wheelbarrows, some of their jackets thrown on the pile to prevent them from getting any wetter. The others not pulling the wheelbarrows pulled along a home-made looking stretcher that they must have made themselves. To put it in simple terms, they collected a HUGE pile of the driest woods and leaves they could find. Raven felt the most pride in this group currently led by a tiny little blonde girl, Charlotte. Who knew what genius mind that little body could have hidden, well, apparently Raven knew, unsurprisingly.

Her group looked really proud of their findings and job well done, even though you could also see the weary smile they all carried. They had probably looked down on the little girl at first until she showed them why she was assigned the leader of the group by Raven. Imagination beyond belief in her creative young mind, Charlotte was unlike the older teens, one could see.

Raven joined them and greeted Charlotte, "Young, creative and resourceful. Good job, Char." She mussed up the wet blonde hair of the little girl, causing the little girl to puff her cheeks and huff in annoyance.

"Good job, everyone. Your group has the most success of all so far, and an outcome even more astounding, your group should feast til you're completely full later, just make sure you don't spew from eating too much. We don't want to be wasting food when we hardly have any. Right now, all of you deserves a break, leave the woods beside the smoke pit for now, it's not done yet. But know that we still have a lot of work yet to be done, so if you could, Char would lead you guys to help Murphy with the building of our fence," Raven instructed.

"And Char?"

"Yeah?"

"You are sooo cute," Raven pinched Charlotte's cheeks roughly causing the girl to wince slightly before she pushed Raven's hand away.

"That hurt, Ray."

"Sorry, Char. Off ya go then," Raven smiled affectionately at the little girl and patted her on the head lightly before she returned to the dropship.

Just as she finally sat down by her previous wares again, someone cleared their throat to get her attention, she turned to find Miller.

Everything else ran smoothly and everyone was worn out by the end of the day. Finn's group brought back bottles of water, bagfuls of berries, a poorly made net surprisingly filled with about eight fishes.

When everyone was having a great time, eating and drinking (water), Raven was alone in the dropship.

"What's wrong, Ray?" said a feminine voice by the door. Raven turned to see her intruder, it was none other than Octavia.

Raven huffed frustrated, "I don't know, O, I managed to rebuilt communication with to the Ark, but somehow it's not connecting. I keep getting statics."

Octavia opened her mouth to answer when another voice behind her interrupted her, "Do you mind if I take a look?"

They both turned to the newest addition, Monty.

"I know a few things about technology," He went on to explain.

Raven then gestured for him to look at it.

They worked at it for a long time, trading ideas back and forth with Octavia in the background, giving moral support.

At one point of the night, Octavia wildly suggested, "What if it's actually external interference?"

Raven and Monty turned to look at her flabbergasted for a moment before Raven recovered, "You know she could be onto something here, there might have been some old world radio tower still operating and causing interference."

"We could build something to counter the interference." Monty

"Make it a damn good strong one, cause that's the only way Raven knows how to do her thing!" Raven

"Good point, a strong one wouldn't hurt." Monty

A/N: Meh, I probably shouldn't have posted this yet but I thought it couldn't hurt anyways. See ya in two weeks, for sure, this time.
