"You guy's ready?" Lexa and Clarke looked at each other as they heard Raven speaking through their ear pieces. Lexa searched for any hint of hesitancy in her girlfriend's eyes but only found determination.

"Yes, we're ready" Clarke spoke back.

"OK, Monty's hacked into their system so we'll be able to see you both on the camera feed. Be careful" Raven informed the pair. They were parked in Lexa's Camaro on the opposite side of the road to the CERA Headquarter's. Clarke had rang ahead and set up a meeting with the vice president Carl Emerson.

Clarke was wearing a tight thigh length pencil skirt with a dark blue blouse tucked in and black heels. Lexa wore a pant's suit with a red blouse, and a tight black jacket, with a pair of small heels. "Don't we scrub up well" Lexa stated as she exited the car. Clarke followed her girlfriend's lead and walked around to join her.

Raven clocked them walking across the road, heading towards the main entrance. "You two look HOT" She shouted into the microphone, causing Clarke to wince.

Bellamy rolled his eyes and began to scold Raven. "Jeez Ray, really?!" The brown eyed girl chuckled in response.

Lexa took one last look at the blonde before entering the building. Clarke nodded her head in reassurance, and walked in after Lexa held the door open for her. She made her way over to the reception desk, making eye contact with the receptionist as she introduced herself.

"Hi, my name is Dr Griffin. I have an appointment with Carl Emerson" The receptionist smiled, whilst looking down at her computer screen to confirm what Clarke had told her.

"Yes we have been expecting you. Mr Emerson should be down in a minute, if you'd like to take a seat" She motioned towards the white sofa opposite her desk. Before Clarke and Lexa could sit, a tall man approached them wearing a black suit, with a crisp white shirt and red tie.

"Clarke! It's so good to see you again" Emerson made a bee line for Clarke. He held his hand out which the blonde took and then kissed both of her cheeks. Lexa kept her eyes on him, waiting to pounce if he made the wrong move. Clarke sensed her girlfriend's distress, so decided to introduce her.

"Carl, this is my assistant Jo" Lexa raised an eyebrow at Clarke, but decided to play along. He held out his hand for Lexa to shake and began his own pompous introduction.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there. My name is Carl Emerson, I'm the Vice President of CERA. I'm sure Clarke has told you much about me" Emerson turned his attention back to Clarke and flashed her a huge toothy grin. Lexa had to stop herself from scoffing at this man's blatant flirting.

"Yes, I've heard lots about you Mr Emerson" She made sure to sound as sarcastic as she could, but had not effect on the man as he seemed to be once again oblivious to Lexa's presence.

"Well, let's get going shall we. I can give you a quick tour of the labs and then we can head to my office to talk business" He began walking down the corridor toward's the numerous labs they had in the building whilst Lexa followed, watching Clarke talking and laughing with Emerson. She made sure to watch out for anything strange, but so far everything seemed pretty normal.

Emerson stopped in front of two large white doors and produced a key card from one of his inside pocket's. He swiped it and the door's began to open automatically.

"This is one of our bigger lab's where we produce vaccines. We've actually been trying to sell these particular vaccines to your hospital, Clarke" The blonde raised her brows at Emerson in surprise.

"Oh I didn't realize. How come they haven't bought them yet?"

"Well they're still in the trial stages and haven't been released yet, but they have shown promise on the animal testing stage. We have managed to sell to other buyers, however I'm still trying to convince your board of director's" He winked at Clarke as he replied to her question. Lexa simply rolled her eye's.

"So what else do you produce here?" Lexa's question seemed to draw Emerson's attention away from her girlfriend.

"Well as I am sure you are aware, Jo, we produce a multitude of vaccinations ranging from the Influenza to Rubella. However, we also work closely with PRC Clinical which is a research company that specialize in early drug development. We're actually currently working on a project together"

"What's the project?" Clarke asked.

"That's for me to know, and you to find out another time Dr Griffin" Emerson whispered in a low voice. What a creep. Lexa thought. The slimey man carried on walking around the lab, showing Clarke different pieces of equipment. The brunette watched in amusement as Clarke got rather excited about what she was being shown.

Something felt off though. It wasn't Emerson's creepy flirting, it was something else. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Lex" The brunette heard in her ear piece. Raven spoke again. "There's definitely something weird going on there. We've just done some background research on PRC Clinical, and it doesn't mention anything about working with CERA or any other project's"

"Maybe they haven't actually started working together yet. Perhaps they're just planning to" Lexa whispered back.

"No that's impossible. PRC Clinical was shut down two year's ago. One of the clinical trials killed over 20 people when the drug was illegally tested on humans"

"Holy shit" Lexa exclaimed as she listened to Raven's revelation. Lexa locked eyes with Clarke from across the room, who had also heard their conversation. Before Lexa could approach them she felt a hand grip her wrist and pull her back slightly. She turned around and was met with an unknown man. Bellamy and Raven watched the camera intently and recognized him instantly.

"Lexa, you need to get out of there. Now!" Bellamy spoke clearly into the microphone. The man that held Lexa was Quint. Bellamy's heart rate had picked up dramatically.

Lexa looked into the icy blue eyes of this man that was gripping onto her arm rather aggressively. They weren't warm like Clarke's but cold and soulless. At the thought of her girlfriend, she tried to free herself from the vice like grip and turn, but was stopped by the other man's hand which was now holding her other arm.

"Don't you worry. Clarke will be fine with Mr Emerson" He spoke between gritted teeth. "Why don't you come with me?" Just as Lexa was about to object, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. Her limbs began to feel like led and her vision became blurry.

Raven, Monty and Bellamy watched on in horror as Quint carried Lexa away. They had watched Emerson persuade Clarke to leave the room with him, so she had not witnessed what had happened to Lexa.

"Fuck!" Bellamy shouted and slammed his fist against the wall. He turned back around, breathing heavily as he spoke "We have to get in there" Raven looked over at Bellamy as he spoke.

"Time for plan B. Monty you know what to do" She simply stated as she strode over to Bellamy. "Listen Bell, we need to do this now. I need you" She had gripped his face with both of her hand's and spoke whilst glaring into his dark brown eyes. Bellamy relaxed as he felt Raven's hand's against his face. He let out a deep sigh before replying.

"You're right, I'm sorry Ray. Let's go" She took a step backwards and walked towards the door with Bellamy close behind. Gustus was waiting for them as they neared the front entrance. They quickly glanced at each other, worried that he may try and stop them from going.

"Be safe" Gustus whispered as they walked past him and through the door's. They made their way down to the helipad where the chopper would be waiting for them. Bellamy was shocked to see Octavia and Lincoln slouched against the helicopter.

"What are you doing here?" He directed the question at his younger sister.

"You could use the back up. And I can't feel my ribs anymore, so I'm ready to go" Bellamy began to open his mouth in objection but Octavia simply waved her hand at her brother and hopped in the chopper. He shook his head and let out a small huff as he too jumped on board. Lincoln and Raven sat in the two front seat's as they began hitting all the different switches. The rotary blades began spinning and Lincoln pulled back on the lever between his legs causing the chopper to ascend.

As they neared the CERA building, they went over the plan once again to make sure they were all on the same page. They were treating it as a simple rescue mission, and only taking out whoever got in their way. Lincoln and Raven steered the chopper onto the helipad on the roof of the building, and landed it with a slight thud. A man began approaching the helicopter wearing a black suit. Octavia recognized it as a similar suit to the one Quint was wearing so guessed he was one of his goon's. She pulled back the large sliding door's whilst the rotary's were still turning. Using the noise of the chopper as cover she fired a bullet into his chest, causing him to drop to the floor. She then proceeded to screw the silencer onto the end of her gun. "You couldn't have done that earlier, O?" Bellamy asked his sister, shaking his head in the process.

"You're no fun, Bell!" She quipped back.

The group exited the helicopter and made their way to the door leading to the inside of the building. Lincoln was the one to open the door and Raven stepped inside, gun at the ready, checking to see if anyone was waiting on the other side. It was clear, so they all made their way to the stairs.

"Monty, what can you see" Raven asked.

"Well, I've found Clarke. She's on the top floor in one of the main offices. It looks like Emerson's office. And I think they took Lexa into the basement" Monty spoke whilst scanning his three different computer screens.

"Thanks, dude! OK, Bellamy, you and me are going to go after Clarke. Lincoln and Octavia, you should head for Lexa" Raven informed them. They all agreed and split up.

Clarke was sat across from Emerson in his office, listening to his nonsense about the company and how much money it had made the year before. She was beginning to zone out until he asked her a rather personal question, changing the topic completely.

"So, Clarke, are you seeing anyone at the moment?" She knew that he would flirt with her, but she always thought it was harmless.

"Yes, I am. We are very happy together" Emerson sat straighter in his chair and looked down at his hand's as he responded to the blonde.

"That's a shame, Clarke. I always thought there was a spark between us" She watched him as he rose from his seat and rounded the table slowly, stopping to sit on the desk in front of Clarke, much too close for her liking. "It's such a shame to see you with her. She is very attractive, I'll give her that. But she doesn't deserve you, Clarke. You are special" Emerson spoke in a whisper as his right hand had began to cup the blonde's chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. She tried to pull her head back, but his grip only tightened causing her to freeze.

"Where is she?!" Clarke managed to choke out as Emerson's face was slowly getting closer to hers.

"Getting what she deserves" He snarled back at Clarke. There was a knock at Emerson's door interrupting them. He let go of her face and strode over to the door agressively opening it.

"I am sorry for the intrusion Mr Emerson, but we have a situation" Clarke quickly caught a glimpse of the man standing behind Emerson. He was wearing tactical gear and carried a large machine gun. Emerson looked back at Clarke and let out an aggravated sigh as he left the room, shutting the door behind him.

Clarke stood up, looking for any kind of weapon. She found a fire poker next to the large fire place. Taking it in her hand, she went to stand next to the door, waiting for him to re-enter. Lexa. That was the only thing Clarke was thinking of, she needed to get to her. She readied her weapon as she heard footstep's approaching the room, but instead of the door opening, there was a large thud against it.

"Clarke, it's Raven. You can put the fire poker down" The blonde felt a wave of relief hit her as she heard her friends hushed voice through the door. She quickly dropped the stick and opened the door, revealing Raven and Bellamy in their own tactical gear. She clocked the man from earlier on the floor. Raven entered the room and checked Clarke over for signs of any wounds. "Are you ok?"

"Yes I'm fine. We have to find Lexa, they have her" Clarke began to speak in a hurried tone. She was beyond terrified for her girlfriend. How could she ever think this was a good idea.

"Lincoln and Octavia have gone to find her. They'll get her out safely, don't worry" Raven informed Clarke.

Bellamy turned around from his position outside the room. "We have to leave, they're going to be back. We won't have much time when they find Clarke's gone"

"Bellamy's right. We need to leave, now Clarke" Raven stated.

"No, we have to go after Lexa. I can't leave her"

"Listen to me. They will get her out. You aren't going to be any good to her if you're dead Clarke!" Raven shouted at her friend.

Clarke was in shock at Raven's words, and could only nod in response. The brown eyed girl saw Clarke give in and grabbed her hand, dragging her towards Bellamy. They made their way back up to the roof, taking out two other guards. Once they reached the chopper, Raven ran to the front and practically dived in, starting the engine. Clarke hopped up into the back whilst Bellamy had to shoot a few more guards that had followed them up. When he saw that it was safe, he jumped up and dangled his feet out of the side, just in case anymore guards decided to show up. Once they reached a good height, he pulled himself up and closed the sliding door.

Bellamy turned around to see Clarke sat with her head in her hand's. He took a seat next to her and gently placed his hand on her lower back to let her know he was there for her. They sat like this for the entire journey.

"Lincoln! Cover me!" Octavia shouted as she dove around the corner and sprinted for cover behind an over turned desk, successfully dodging the bullets being fired at her. Lincoln took out one of the shooter's which seemed to be distracted by Octavia's actions. The black haired girl took out the last one as he went to reload his gun. She winked at Lincoln in thanks.

They were scouring the corridor's in the maze of a basement. They knew that Lexa was down here, but didn't know which room she was being kept in. Octavia kicked the second to last door in and found the room empty. At least they knew where she was being held now. Lincoln walked in front of Octavia and held his ear up against the white door. He nodded his head to her in confirmation as he heard voices from the other side. Without another thought, he kicked the door in almost breaking it from it's hinges and rushed inside. He took out the guard stood to his left, whilst Octavia shot the large figure in front of a table in the middle of the room.

When the large man's body fell to the floor, her eyes landed on Lexa's lifeless body strapped to the table. She was no longer wearing her suit, but instead a hospital gown. They had stuck a needle in her arm which was attached to a drip. Octavia quickly made her way over to her friend and ripped the needle out of her arm. Lincoln walked around the table and looked at the clear liquid in the bag hanging from the pole. He found it rather odd that there was no name on the bag, so he un hooked it from it's resting place and put it in his pocket. Just as he picked up Lexa's body, the man on the floor began to groan in pain.

Octavia approached the man and turned him so he was now lying on his back. It was Quint. She felt the anger rise in her chest as she took in his smug face staring back at her.

"What the hell have you done to her?!" She screamed into his face. He began laughing, so she punched him, effectively breaking his nose.

"Answer me!" She screamed again. He turned his head to the right and spat some blood out before responding.

"She kindly volunteered to test our new drug. You'll know if it's worked in a few hours" He began laughing again. Octavia had had enough of his games. She pulled her gun out from it's holster and pointed it at his face, firing one bullet into his skull between his eyes.

Octavia walked over to Lincoln, who was waiting by the door, and spoke into her ear piece. "Anya, are you here?"

"Yeah. I'm by the back entrance. I've already taken out the guard's so you shouldn't have any trouble" Anya replied.

"Good. We're on the way" Octavia responded and led Lincoln out of the room with Lexa in his arms.

Octavia kicked down the final door and was met with Anya on the other side, stood next to her jeep. The older girl took a look at a lifeless Lexa in Lincoln's arms and shot over to them. "What happened?! Is she ok?" Lincoln was the first to respond.

"We're not sure. We need to get her out of here, Anya"

"Of course. Come on, I'll help you get her in" The older girl replied.

"Where are we?" Clarke asked Raven and Bellamy as the chopper began descending from the sky. She looked out of the window to her right and was met with nothing but sand. Bellamy rose to his feet and crouched down as he opened the sliding door. He looked back at Clarke and said, "We're at a safe house. Anya's safe house"

Raven opened the door and walked around to greet Clarke.

"Anya?" Clarke questioned.

"We didn't have a choice. We had to tell her. We wouldn't have had anywhere else to go if we hadn't have told her" She held her hand out for Clarke to take in order to help her get down, which she gladly did. Bellamy hopped down after the blonde and walked past them, heading towards the small wooden shack standing on it's own.

Raven turned her head towards her friend and found her staring at the shack in front of them. "It's not as bad as you think. Come on, I'm sweating my ass off out here" The two girls followed Bellamy, and entered the building after him. Clarke watched as Raven made her way over to an old telephone placed on a round table in the middle of the room. Apart from that, it was empty. Raven typed a few numbers on the phone, but instead of picking it up, she simply walked back over to Bellamy.

Clarke was about to open her mouth to question her friend but stopped as she heard a metallic clang. All of a sudden the whole room was moving. She placed her hand on the nearest wall to keep her balance as the room descended. Before she could say anything it had stopped moving, displaying a brightly lit corridor in front of them. Clarke took a few tentative step's forward as she felt a hand hold onto her lower back. She looked to the side and found Raven guiding her forwards in encouragement. Once they had stepped out of the old shack, it began to ascend to it's original position above ground.

They walked further down the corridor until they reached a dark wooden door, with three large misted windows in the middle of it. Bellamy took the door handle and twisted it downwards. The room it displayed was nothing short of magnificent. It was a circular room, with two large, black spiral staircases on either side. The floor was black marble with shining stones engraved in it and a large chandelier was hanging from the ceiling. Even with all the black decorations, it was surprisingly light, considering they were underground as well.

Raven, Bellamy and Clarke stood by the door in complete shock. Each of them were pulled out of their daze by a familiar voice coming from behind them. Raven was the first to turn and couldn't help the small gasp that escaped her mouth. Both Bellamy and Clarke spun around on their feet to find Anya rushing towards them and Lincoln carrying Lexa in his arms. Clarke saw how Lexa's head was hanging behind her and her right arm dangled from her body.

"Oh my god, she's..." She couldn't even say it. She let out a strangled sob at the sight of her girlfriend. Her knee's were about to give out beneath her until Octavia ran in front of her and held onto both of her elbows, effectively supporting her.

"No she's not. She's just unconscious, Clarke!" She stated in a firm voice. Bellamy had moved them out of Lincoln's way as he followed Anya to her treatment room. Clarke let Octavia's words sink in as her feet began to move in the same direction as Anya.

Anya's treatment room wasn't as big as the one at the Division HQ but it certaintly had the same equipment, if not better. Clarke watched as Lincoln carefully placed Lexa onto the bed in the center of the room. She made her way over to her girlfriend and checked her pulse. It was there, but very weak. She spotted the monitor to her left so grabbed it and pulled it towards the bed. She pulled off the sticky pads and stuck them onto the correct area's of Lexa's body. Once the machine was hooked up to the brunette's body and beeping regularly, she turned around and spoke to Lincoln and Octavia.

"What happened to her?" Octavia was the first to speak, as she began to tell the story of what happened and how they had found her. Lincoln then went on to explain what Quint had said about administering her with an unknown vaccine. He then pulled the liquid from his bag and handed it to Clarke. She looked up at Anya as she spoke.

"Anya, have you got any kind of equipment around here so I can run some tests on this?"

"Yes. There's a lab just next door. Come on, I'll show you" Clarke took one look back at Lexa before exiting the room.

Octavia was sat on the chair besides Lexa's bed, whilst Bellamy and Lincoln sat on the sofa on the far side of the room. It had been five hours since they arrived at the bunker, and still no signs of Lexa waking up. Jasper and Monty had turned up about an hour ago and were helping Clarke in the lab. Octavia was deeply worried about her blonde friend. She had watched as Clarke came to check on Lexa every half an hour. The blue eyed girl would lift Lexa's hand up and take it in her own as she checked her pulse rate. She would carefully place it back down and pull her eye lids up to shine a torch in them, trying to see if her pupils would react. Each time she had done this, Octavia watched as Clarke would look down and let out a long sigh, clearly disappointed with the results.

Lincoln was fast asleep with his head leaning back on the couch, whilst Bellamy was taking apart one of his hand guns, and putting it back together. He had realized that this made him calm. His head snapped up as he heard the door open, revealing Raven with a tray full of mugs. She looked over and made eye contact with Bellamy, smiling at him. She made her way over to the older boy and held the tray out for him to take one of the cups.

"It's coffee, just how you like it" She spoke in a whisper.

"Thanks Ray" Bellamy responded kindly and took one of the cups into his hands after placing the gun on his lap.

Raven walked around the bed to Octavia, who grabbed a mug whilst thanking her friend.

"No change?" Raven asked. Octavia simply shook her head. There wasn't much left to say. "I'm going to go and check on Clarke, I'll see you in a bit" Raven made her way out of the room and entered the lab through the see through door to her left.

Clarke, Jasper and Monty were working themselves to the bone trying to find out what this strange vaccine consisted of. The blonde forced herself to continue working. She was afraid that if she stopped, she would simply break down. Clarke caught sight of Raven entering the room and looked up to nod her head in greeting. She walked across the room and placed her hand on Clarke's lower arm.

"Clarke" Raven spoke to her friend in a whisper. "You look exhausted. You should get some rest"

"I can't, Raven. She needs me"

"Lexa would hate to see you like this. You've been working none stop for the past five hours. You're going to pass out from exhaustion soon!" Raven's voice was beginning to rise in volume.

"Raven! It's Lexa!" Clarke screamed back at her friend. Both Monty and Jasper were now stood behind Clarke.

Clarke realised she had screamed in her friend's face and turned around to place both of her hands on the table in front of her. She knew that Raven was right, however she also knew that Lexa wasn't simply going to wake up on her own.

"Clarke, I think I might have found the main components in the vaccine. Come here, have a look" Jasper spoke softly. Clarke looked up at her friend and smiled warmly at him.

"If you look here" He pointed into the microscope and the piece of paper next to him, which housed all sort's of algorithm's on it. "It's got bits and pieces from the genomes of H1N1, swine flu, Ebola, Marburg, dengue, and Hantavirus. It's a highly modified strain"

"Jesus" Clarke breathed out. "Can you produce an antidote?"

"We should be able to yes, but I don't know how long it's going to take. Clarke, that virus has been in Lexa's blood stream for over 6 hours" The blonde listened intently at Jasper's words.

"CLARKE!" They were all startled by Bellamy's panicked voice shouting across the room. "It's Lexa!" She wasted no time in running to the next room. She could already hear the monitor flat lining as she rounded the corner. No no no no no.

Clarke hauled the defibrillator over to the bedside and ripped her girlfriend's gown. Luckily she had a sports bra on. Anya was by her side within seconds, charging the machine up as Clarke began chest compression's. After 30 compression's, Anya handed her the two metal paddle's and stood back as the blonde pressed them against Lexa's chest. "Clear" She shouted. The brunette's body jumped up from the bed after the wave of electricity coursed through her. Clarke looked over at the monitor, discovering that it hadn't worked. "Charge again!" After the device was ready to go, she placed them on Lexa and pushed the buttons sending another wave through her girlfriend.

"Thank god" She whispered to herself as she heard the monitor beep a steady beep again.

Octavia was in total shock as she watched Clarke in action. She didn't even realize she was crying until Lincoln began wiping away her tears. Clarke placed the paddles back on top of the machine next to her and turned around to look at Lexa. The brunette looked so peaceful. Clarke brought her right hand up to her cheek and caressed it softly.

Monty and Jasper were stood in the doorway and watched in awe as Clarke brought Lexa back to life. They shared a look and then retreated back to the lab to begin work on the antidote.

Anya saw Clarke with Lexa and decided to leave them alone for a while. She motioned for everyone in the room to follow her out.

The blonde climbed up on the bed and snuggling in against Lexa's side. She brought the brunette's hand up and hugged it close to her chest. Her tears that she had kept in for hours began pouring down her face like a waterfall. "You can't leave me, Lexa. Please, I need you" Clarke choked out quietly between sobs.

Once she had cried all the tears she had left in her, Clarke felt exhaustion begin to override her body. Her eyes slowly closed as she listened to her girlfriend's steady heart beat in her chest, hoping it would continue beating for years to come.
