'This never stops being weird.' Murphy muttered, looking down at their unconscious forms.

'At least you're not squeezing Ontari's heart this time.' Miller offered.

'Small mercies.' Murphy replied quietly.

Monty's eyes never left the monitor as he tried to sort through the code. He knew Raven had been able to give some clue to Clarke when she was first in the City of Light and he just hoped he would be able to do the same or they'd all be alone in this fight.

'This is bizarre.' Octavia commented in disapproval as she looked around at the city.

The City of Light looked exactly the same. Raven had resurrected everything. Clarke knew the gleaming sky rises and the individual trees and spots of grass were supposed to create a harmonious balanced feeling to the city but Clarke never thought it had much appeal. She didn't care less about the architecture or design. It was the concept of being unburdened by time, death and decay that had held her obsession with the Flame.

Clarke looked at them all and was pleased to see they had made a smooth transition however, her eyes hovered over Raven's leg brace which did not go unnoticed.

'There is pain now in the City of Light, Clarke.' Raven said. 'ALIE has gone. Besides, I don't need fixing. I could have wasted time manipulating my code but I am who I am.'

'Your brain has gotten us this far, Raven. Not your legs.' Wick remarked.

Lexa was in her commander's outfit but had her two blades, Octavia also carried a blade and was wearing her own war paint. Clarke's outfit was not the same as it had been. Her blue jacket had gone and she wore a black top that she had received when she was at Polis. She wondered if once again her clothes had merged to show that she was both Skaikru and Grounder. Before, Clarke had deliberately chosen that path when she had chosen to fight Bellamy yet now it had happened spontaneously. The mini Flame was reflecting her allegiances.

'We need to keep moving.' Lexa said.

'We don't even know where we're going.' Octavia protested.

'Becca left us signs before. We will find our way.' Lexa replied with certainty.

'Blind hope isn't going to be enough.' Wick argued.

'Lexa's right. There will be signs.' Raven cut in. 'The plants are failing. They will have left some signature with that amount of energy output. We just have to find it.'

'It could be anything.' Octavia pointed out.

'Which is why we need to start looking.' Lexa said, walking through the city and Clarke caught up to her as the others trailed somewhat gloomily behind.

'Does my father's watch work?' Clarke muttered in a low voice; she did not want to alarm the others if it told her they had only seconds left.

Lexa glanced at her wrist but the watch was not working.

'Strange.' Clarke commented.

'Perhaps not.' Lexa mused. 'Raven has altered the City. Perhaps the concept of time is simply not what we are used to. Some things will have changed without ALIE.'

'So we could take ten years to walk up one street here? That's comforting.' Clarke smiled sadly.

'I think the point of the Flame was to free us from time. The commanders were stored forever. Nothing could touch them. Of course, ALIE tried but the intent remained.'

'And now a new threat is corrupting the concept of the Flame?'

'Yes.'

They carried on through the streets which were unnervingly quiet. Clarke was not the only one glancing around. It was more nerve inducing than when she had been surrounded by strangers when she had first entered the city. Life was never this at peace.

'There!' Raven pointed.

There was a white glow in the distance, about two miles away. Clarke knew it could be anything but she also knew that Raven would not just stop for nothing.

Raven thought it was a signature and explained how such energy and activity would give off signs. This was not telling them specifically where to go but it was a hint towards the general area.

Lexa turned back slowly and Clarke shot her a puzzled look. There was a rush of air and Clarke felt herself being slammed to the ground and glass rained upon them as something crashed into the window of the building behind them. Lexa surged forward after she had pushed Clarke to safety from the thrown spear and charged up the opposite steps as people poured over it. Lexa quickly took them down and Jaha's limp body rolled down the steps she had just come up. Lexa put her blades back and Clarke and the others staggered to their feet.

'So I guess they are still in here.' Raven panted. 'ALIE's programming must have been enough that even after she was shut down she'd wiped out their original personalities so they're nothing more than soldiers now.'

Clarke made her way over to Lexa and Lexa smiled to confirm she was okay but Lexa's hands went straight to Clarke's forehead and Clarke saw the blood on her fingers when she pulled back. It was yet another reminder that this place that Clarke had held onto as the one thing that could keep Lexa safe was as dangerous as anywhere else. Any one of them could die.

'We're fine by the way.' Wick called over stiffly.

Clarke rolled her eyes and turned to Jaha. She glanced at Octavia and Clarke swore she saw guilt there. She did not want to know what had happened to Jaha at Arkadia. She knew enough about Skaikru's dealings. She was sick of it.

Jaha's hand was cluthing something. Clarke bent down slowly and eased his grip on it.

'What is it?' Lexa asked.

'Wells.' Clarke answered simply, holding the dark knight chess piece up to examine it.

Clarke did not understand. When Jaha had taken the chip he had abandoned Wells and his pain. How could he carry this now when they had just attacked them?

'Maybe they aren't quite mindless now.'

Clarke recalled Murphy telling her of when he had spoken to Jaha. Of how he had not quite regretted his son's existence and did not long to be totally free of the pain. Maybe there had remained a bit of hope in him still and this was his attempt at redemption.

'He had some regret.' Clarke answered. 'Maybe without ALIE being such a dominant force, it was enough to be able to fight the residual programming. Maybe he was trying to take back control.'

'He just tried to kill us.' Octavia spat.

'And he's also helped us.' Clarke replied, standing up.

'How?' Wick asked baffled but Clarke turned to Lexa.

'The first plant. It's going to be the Ark, like how the kill switch took on that form.'

'That is where your story started.' Lexa commented, appreciating the symbolism.

'We follow the light then and look for some sign of the Ark.' Raven said.

They turned to leave but Clarke looked over the steps at the other bodies. Long brown hair covered the face of one of the slain who was wearing a white lab coat. Curiosity got the better of Clarke and she approached her. Slowly, she bent down once more and rolled her over and she was almost sick at the sight of her as Clarke stared horried into the dead eyes of Tsing.
