AU: (Sort of... more of a situation) The gang wasn't able to get Kai like at the end of Cress. What would they do then? This is just a quick glimpse of right after they escaped on the Rampion.

She was in her room. Her boring, dull room. How could the plan not have worked? They had the whole thing planned out! Now they had no Kai, no Dr. Erland, and Scarlet was still on Luna.

Could it get any worse?

Cinder felt the pounding headache come on like she was hit over the head with a brick. She might as well not hide away if she wanted to get some things done.

She found Thorne and Cress in the cockpit. Seeing Cress's intent expression made her decide not to inturrupt. Instead, she found Wolf in the medbay trying to stitch his chest wound.

"Wolf!" She went over to him. "You shouldn't be doing that yourself! Here, let me help you."

She walked over to the small sink and started to wash her hands.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine," he insisted.

"You are not fine. Now hand me the needle," Cinder replied with her hand out.

He didn't object, just sighed. Cinder quickly looked up how to put in stitches. It would be easy enough for her to handle.

It went too quickly to keep her distracted.

Thorne was still in the cockpit, even though Cress wasn't anymore. She sat down in the co-pilot chair with a thud. "What are we going to do?" She asked.

He stared into space another moment before responding. "Go start a revolution on Luna? Now that would be interesting."

"That's ridiculous. Can you try to take this one thing seriously?" She tried to reply as calmly as she could. "Levana has what she wants!"

Thorne stared blankly at her for a moment. "Cinder, listen. I know that you're stressed out, but right now we can't do anything. It's not like we can go back to Earth for a while to do anything anyway."

The idea made her shudder. How could she just not do anything?

"As much as I hate to say it, Thorne's right," said Wolf's unexpected voice. Cinder turned around and saw him standing in the door frame. She surprised herself for not having felt his bioelectricity sooner. She felt so useless right now.

"Can't we at least get Cress and try to make a plan B?" Cinder asked. She felt that if they had a goal, something to focus on, then she would forget the fact that Kai was married to her aunt. Her Aunt for the star's sake!

Thorne sighed. "Will it make you feel better?"

"Yes. Yes it would." She began rocking on her heels.

Cress walked in, holding Thorne's eye drops. "What'd I miss?"

"Cinder wants to make a new plan," Thorne replied to her.

Cress nodded and walked towards him.

"Then let's make another plan," said Cinder.

NOTE: It's really short, but it's only a small glimpse of what might've happened. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THE ARCHIVE REACHED 300 STORIES ALREADY!? I remember when there was, like 250. I'll have to write something to celebrate! An anniversary for a pairing, maybe? Why don't you guys tell me which one you would like to see for the celebration chapter lol :)
