AUTHOR'S NOTE: First of all, please no one panic over this chip thing. This fic is NOT canon. There is no A.I. takeover nonsense.

Secondly, I did not want to abandon this fic so I made a new years resolution to finish this fic no matter what. Well, resolution completed. The remaining chapters have been written. Consider this a warning that the end is near...

The gorgeous blonde called Anya was talking, but Raven heard nothing. She couldn't stop staring at the beautiful woman to have appeared out of thin air right before her eyes.

A woman with long brown tresses, flawless skin, flawless everything, and the most perfect legs peeking out from beneath a sleek, thigh-high red dress. What was happening? Had she gone crazy? Was she hallucinating?

"Hello, Raven," came the melodic voice of the gorgeous hallucination. "My name is A.L.I.E. I'm here to lead you home. Salvation lies in the City of Light."

Raven swallowed hard, unsure how to respond.

What in the world is going on!?

"I'm A.L.I.E.," the apparition repeated. "I'll be your guide. You've been chipped, Raven. I've corrected your injuries and the toxicity in your blood. But you require an upgrade to repair your memory centers. It can be found in a place not far from here."

Okay, you've lost your mind, Raven. And now you're hallucinating hott women in dresses you want to bang!

"I am not a hallucination, but a personal visual construct to ease communication between us. And I am not bangable, Raven. We cannot physically touch. However, if you wish, I could trigger your arousal core to bring you to full orgasm.

Raven's mouth dropped at the notion. And, oh shit, she can read my thoughts.

"No! I'm good. Please don't do that, A.L.I.E." Raven said out loud, forgetting she wasn't alone.

"Reivon?"

Anya shook Raven by the shoulder, concern and worry in those beautiful hazels.

"Oh, sorry. I was just uh—"

The image of the one called A.L.I.E. faded away. Should she tell Anya about A.L.I.E.? Despite not remembering this woman she felt she could trust Anya inexplicably with anything. From the second she woke up, Anya felt different to the others somehow. Raven couldn't remember feeling that with anyone else before.

"Abby was telling me about the chip…" Raven started. "It seems like it came with an added amenity."

Anya narrowed her gaze, clearly not understanding.

Raven sighed. "I'm seeing things. Like, I could see a woman. She was talking to me just now, and she can read my thoughts. I think she's apart of the chip."

Anya's eyes softened this time. She seemed like she was about to move closer but then thought against it. What kind of friends had they been exactly? Was it possible they had been intimate? Something seemed to be bothering Anya, but Raven couldn't figure out what.

"We should tell Abby a spirit haunts you," Anya suggested. "Or Sinclair if it is not a spirit. I will not pretend to understand machina."

Anya moved to stand, but a hand on her arm stopped her.

"Wait!" Raven said quickly, urging Anya to sit again. "Tell me really what you and I were to each other before I lost my memory. Be honest."

Anya looked away, grief flooding her features. "I loved you, Reivon. I do love you. We were lovers, but only for a short time before so much went so wrong."

Raven nodded and put a reassuring hand on Anya's knee. "What if I said there's a way to get my memories back?"

That perked Anya up if her wide honeyed orbs were anything to go by.

Raven laughed. "The woman I can see that no one else can, A.L.I.E., she says there's an upgrade that can repair my memory centers. She says we have to travel to some city to get it. She says she'll lead us to salvation whatever that means."

Anya turned concerned again. "Do you trust this AL-LEE?"

Raven nodded. "I think so. Will you come with me to find this city?"

Anya nodded. "I will go anywhere with you."

OoOoO

"Raven this is ridiculous. We have no way of knowing what you're seeing. You can't trust these visions."

Raven huffed as she spun around to face Abby for the umpteenth time. "I'm going to this city. That's final."

Abby shook her head violently. "This is ludicrous! You don't even know where you're going. You'll get hurt."

"I'll have A.L.I.E. guiding me, and Anya protecting me."

Raven shot a glance at the fierce warrior by her side. She was glad to be backed up by such an intimidating yet beautiful looking grounder. Behind her other shoulder stood A.L.I.E., the breathtaking A.I. program no one else but Raven and Jaha could see.

"We're coming too," Clarke announced out of nowhere as she, Lexa, and Octavia approached from behind the doctor.

Abby drew her brows and crossed her arms angrily at Clarke. "You're not going."

Commander Lexa intruded Abby's personal space just then, planting both feet firmly in front of the doctor. "Clarke will go where she likes."

Lexa's tone was final, and Abby must had known it as she threw her hands in the air in defeat and walked away. But not before calling back, "Fine. But I'm coming with you all."

"Great. The more the merrier. How many people can I bring, A.L.I.E.?" Raven asked as she turned around to talk to what must have looked like empty air to the others.

"The city of light is for everyone, Raven. A new home awaits for all."

"I'll bring extra warriors," Lexa announced. "They will make sure we reach this city."

"As will I," Anya added.

Lexa and Anya shared a nod before the group dispersed to pack.

A.L.I.E. pointed out their destination on a map to Raven so the others could see. The journey would take a few days by foot. They had to be ready for anything.

Since Raven didn't know whether or not she actually had any 'stuff' to pack or not, she wandered off to the abandoned firepit and sat down again to stare at the flames dancing against the dark sky.

The plan was to pack tonight, gather warriors, and leave the following morning once everyone had arrived. Raven watched as her beautiful blonde companion made inquiries with another grounder across the yard.

'We were lovers,' Anya had said. I loved you, Reivon. I still do.

Raven couldn't wrap her head around it all. When she opened her eyes that day, she was on Earth. Having apparently taken a grounder lover in the process and losing her leg was all a lot to take in over breakfast.

Bending over, Raven reached for the dirt beneath her feet and scooped a pile of the dark sand. Bringing it close to her nose, she inhaled while softly squishing and allowing the substance to sift through her fingers.

"What are you doing, Reivon?"

Raven looked up to find Anya watching her with a curious but gentle expression as she sat beside the brunette.

"I've… never seen it before. As far as I know, this is the first time I'm seeing everything. Feeling the wind, smelling trees. It's incredulous."

Anya nodded but stayed silent a moment as she stared into the fire ahead. "Your favorite experience on Earth was food. You loved the food in my village."

Raven dropped the sand in her hands and burst out laughing. "That does not at all surprise me."
