Octavia woke up to the beautiful familiar scent of Lincoln. God she had missed that, she didn't even realize she had missed it but she did, so much. She had her head on his bare chest and could feel his heart beat under her cheek. He's breathing was even and she knew he was still asleep. She shifted away from him a little and instantly his arm tightened around her and he woke up. opps. She forgot what a light sleeping being with her made him. In the woods he had always been awake and ready to protect her every time she so much as wiggled her toes.
"It's ok" she whispered as he rubbed his eyes waking up slower remembering where they were.
"Where are you going my love?" Lincoln whispered as Octavia put is discarded t-shirt over her head and went to the window throwing it open.
"It's stuffy in here"
"And its like 30 degrees outside" Lincoln sighed.
"I like my fresh air" Octavia said sticking her head out the window as Lincoln got up to join her.
"When we have a house, we can put in a big porch with hammocks hanging on it. and we can sleep out there in the summer swinging in the breeze" Lincoln whispered putting his arms around her. They had not even found each other 12 hours ago and already they were planing their future together.
"In the woods, with the cool breeze, and horses, and a place to sward fight" Octavia added making Lincoln laugh as he buried his nose in her hair.
"Well, our kids will have to grow up and know how to defend themselves" Octavia said.
"Whatever my girl wants" He whispered.
Lexa opened her eyes in the sunlight sitting up. She rubbed her neck stretching it, wow that was a bad position to sleep in… She was surprised when she turned to see Clark on the couch next to her. After the dishes they had decided to watch a movie, then another and somewhere in the third one she had fallen asleep, it looks like Clark had too. It was so weird, like neither of them had wanted the day to end, and apparently it hadn't, just rolled over into the next one. Lexa looked over at Clark who was laying back her arm thrown over her eyes to block out the light her long blond hair fanned out all around her head. For the life of her she couldn't figure out what was going on with this girl, she was so not her type. Clark tended do doubt herself, Lexa could see that. She was smart but very closed off. All Lexa had really learned about her yesterday was that she she liked to draw, and didn't have any kind of family. She didn't give any sign that she was even into girls the way Lexa was except that she had stayed all day. But maybe she was just lonely. Lexa got up going into the kitchen to make some breakfast and within minutes Clark was there.
"Sorry I crashed here" Clark said.
'It's no problem at all! I told you your welcome" Lexa said offering her a plate for eggs. Clark took it and went to sit at the table, Lexa was please to see she was already making herself feel at home.
"I was thinking about going the the farmers market today, you should come check it out, then we can got this pizza you have not stopped talking about" Lexa said.
"I'd love to" Clark smiled.
"Well, someone was celebrating last night" Raven said as Octavia and Lincoln came out of their room. Lincoln put his head down blushing but Octavia just shrugged shooting Raven a smirk.
"Hey, its been…. a while, cut us some slack." Octavia said.
"As long as you let him rest up enough to be able to break Bellamy out today. Lucky for you Abby was out cold, however I wouldn't mind if you kept it down a little" Raven said.
"Sorry, maybe tonight we'll try harder to be quiet, he's rested alright." Octavia laughed patting Lincoln's arm.
"I'm going to shower" Lincoln said quickly going back into the room as Octavia poured a cup of coffee.
"You two seem happy to see each other" Raven said sitting across from her at the table.
"So happy, I didn't even know I was missing him until now, we have so much time to make up for. I'm just glad to have him back" Octavia nodded.
"Your lucky, you have him and your brother, you got your people."
"Not all my people, we will find everyone else. Abby won't give up, none of us will." Octavia said.
"It just feels like luck we found you guys."
"And we will have more luck"
"We don't have luck Octavia remember. everything unlucky that could happen to us did." Raven muttered.
"It's different here. We're not exactly fighting for our lives anymore. You had it the worst Raven, but that doesn't mean it will be like that again" Octavia said reaching across the table to take Raven's hand. Raven just nodded.
"Ok, I'm going to go shower, the faster we are ready the faster we find Clark" Octavia said standing up.
"You want to use mine? I already showered and I know Lincoln is in yours" Raven offered.
"Mmmhmm that's kind of the point" Octavia smirked again making her way back to her room as Raven laughed.
"2 minute warning, you might want to turn on the Tv volume or something" Octavia called.
"Oh man…." Monty muttered sitting up slowly from the floor he had been laying on. Everything hurt, especially his head, no his stomach, his stomach definitely hurt more. Yup he was going to puke. He got up racing over to the trashcan just making it in time.
"Dude, a little warning before you make noise!" Jasper yelled from the couch he was sleeping on.
"I'm never drinking again" Monty muttered wiping his mouth.
"yeah, I second that" Jasper sat up rubbing his temples.
"do you remember what happened last night?" Monty asked.
"We drank a lot, everything else is fuzzy" Jasper shook his head.
"We still have a whole bottle of this stuff, ugh I feel like throwing up again just looking at it" Monty said holding the bottle at arms reach.
"Oh, I have to bring some to the street guy" Jasper said.
"Bring it all, I'm never making this stuff again" Monty said.
"Let's go grab some breakfast and we can drop it off"
"I can't even think about food." Monty sighed.
"No man I know this diner they serve the best hangover food, a nice greedy burger. Come on you can wear some of my sunglasses it's right down the road. You'll feel better after I swear" Jasper said.
"Hey do you remember seeing stuff last night? Something about a space ship?" Monty asked as they climbed the stairs.
"Oh dude I remember you talking about grounders or something. What's a grounder?" Jasper asked
"Hell if I know. Next time I'm sticking with water" Monty muttered shaking his head
"I hate separating" Octavia whispered holding Lincoln's hand as they followed Abby and Raven down the busy street. Her usually lose hair was pulled back in a braid. She felt different then she had yesterday. She felt stronger, and more sure of herself. It was strange how the change had happened literally over night.
"Kane is right, it's to risky with everyone there. It will be fine, it's not like last time. Besides we have to get your brother out" Lincoln said.
"But it has to be you? He's my brother, I should go" Octavia said.
"Kane needs someone to pose as a police officer, and no offense but your to tiny, we need to get you back to training" Lincoln said giving her a smile.
"Well I can't exactly walk down the street with my sward on my back" Octavia said playfully hitting him in the chest making him laugh.
"We'll meet you in the park don't worry, see what you can do to find Clark" Lincoln said as Abby stopped turning to them.
"We won't go any closer, the station is just down that side street" Abby said.
"Right" Lincoln nodded.
"Good luck" Raven said.
"Thanks, meet you guys later" Lincoln said and started walking.
"Wait!" Octavia cried running after him.
"I just got you back, don't do anything stupid ok" She whispered.
"I won't" Lincoln whispered giving her a kiss. This time she let him walk down the road going back to Abby and Raven.
"They will get him out" Raven said firmly.
"I know, hey what's that?" Octavia asked seeing a crowed across the street.
"It looks like a market, it's busy. Maybe someone will know who Clark is" Raven said.
"It's as good a place to start as any, come on stay together" Abby said leading them through the crowed.
"Wait, look!" Octavia cried pointing in the distance. Raven and Abby turned to look where she was. Two girls stood side by side at one of the stands. One had wavy blond hair, the other had lone dark hair pulled halfway back.
"No, it's can't be that easy can it?" Raven asked but Abby was already walking in that direction.
"Clark!" Octavia yelled as she and Raven ran after her.
"Hello John" A voice called as John Murphy walked down the street.
"What's up" John nodded to the familiar face sitting on the sidewalk with his coin jar.
"Have you seen anyone yet?"
"Yeah I see lot's of people" John just nodded giving into the crazy man's questions as two other boys walked over.
"Jaha! We brought this for you" One said putting a bottle down in front of him.
"Have you crossed over yet?"
"Over to where?" the other boy asked.
"See I told you he was cool" The first one whispered.
"You have friends waiting, the three of you do" Jaha said looking at each of the three boys.
"Yeah I'm not exactly the friend type" Murphy muttered putting his hands in his pockets.
"They are finding each other, but they need everyone, you have to be ready to cross over" Jaha said.
"Yeah, Jasper this guy is creepy, and that burger is threatening to give a second act, let's go"
"Alright, hey enjoy that man, we sure did" Jasper said as the two boys walked away.
"This whole city is nuts…" Murphy muttered walking in the opposite direction.
"They care about you John, despite everything they care" The old man called after him.
"Yeah whatever you say" John called back.
"See, it even smells better right?" Lexa asked holding a watermelon up to Clark. Clark lowered her head to it.
"It smells like dirt" She said making a face.
"Exactly, no chemicals" Lexa laughed at her putting it into the basket.
"You know in stores they have shopping carts for this" Clark said adjusting the weight in her arms.
"The farmers market is better, your the one who said you wanted to come" Lexa shook her head.
"Well I got bored watching you meditate"
"You were supposed to be trying it" Lexa gave her a look.
"Yeah, I got bored doing that too" Clark muttered making Lexa crack a smile. Clark stopped to look at her, she always felt like Lexa's eyes were seeing her. Really seeing her and everything she was.
"Clark! Clark!" Clark heard someone calling her name as she turned around.
"Friends of yours?" Lexa asked as Clark wracked her brain trying to remember. There was a women and two girls, they were about her age. They could be her friends, but for the life of her she could not remember them from anywhere.
"I…" Clark said
"Heda!" The younger girl with a long braid cried out as she stopped shot lowering her head in a little bow.
"How…?" Lexa started as she and Clark shared a look.
"We have been looking for you everywhere how are you shopping at a time like this!" the girl with tan skin and a long ponytail cried.
"I…what?" Clark asked.
"Come on, Kane and Lincoln are breaking Bellamy out of jail but we have to go meet them in the park, thank gods you two are at least together." The younger girl said. The older women had not said anything but she was giving Clark the weirdest look she had ever seen.
"Bellamy?" Clark repeated. Was she having a stroke? What was happening?
"You are friends of Clark's?" Lexa asked finally.
"Yeah, Lexa what…?" The pony tail girl asked.
"Who are you?" Clark asked.
"They don't remember" the older women whispered.
"did you touch her yet?" The pony tail girl asked them both.
"Thats a little personal don't you think, who the hell are you?!" Clark asked.
"Ok when the transport team comes I'll give the signal and shut down all surveillance. Lincoln in the guard uniform will escort Bellamy out make sure the handcuffs are not locked. Once you get past the door way Bellamy is going to get out of the cuffs and punch Lincoln who will fall to the floor. The only person in the transport team is the driver who doesn't get out of the van. By the time he sees Lincoln fall and gets out of the truck Bellamy can gain enough ground on him." Kane whispered.
"What happens next?" Bellamy asked.
"I'll sound an alarm and everyone will go outside, the back door will be unguarded I'll make sure it's unlocked go in there and climb into the air duct on the left. Follow it, stay low, it leads out a shaft in my office. It's a tight fit but you can make it. The door to my office will be locked so it's safe. Drop in there and stay quiet. I'll go in there when everything calms down." Kane said.
"And how do I get out of there after?" Bellamy asked.
"One thing at a time. Let's just get you out of the transport first. If we miss this I can't help you in a real lock up" Kane said.
"How long until the van is here?" Lincoln asked.
"its 15 minutes out."
"Let's get ready" Lincoln said.
"Is this bringing back some bad memories for anyone else?" Bellamy muttered. Lincoln just nodded solemnly.
"Well we have the advantage this time, we have practice" Kane said.
"Let's get this done" Lincoln nodded.
