Author's Note: It's been a while, I'm aware. I've been busy with other projects, but I was able to come back and finally finish this chapter and what a chapter it is. Information overload. My suggestion, unless you just recently caught up, would be to go back and read from Chapter 31, when Lexa gets shot by an arrow. This chapter reveals a lot of information and ties in to the canon world just a little bit. Due to the ending of this chapter, I will try my very best to get Chapter 35 written sooner rather than later. This chapter is about the story, and pushing the story forward so there isn't a whole lot of Clarke/Lexa moments but there will be next chapter.

Happy Reading. I'm curious to see what reviews ensue from this one.

Chapter 34

It was about mid-day the next day, Clarke, Lexa, Yuki, Riku, Anya, and Daewon were riding toward Polis. Anya had insisted they did not need any additional warriors as there were four capable fighters amongst them and she didn't want to draw too much attention to all of them. The six of them had already been a lot but they couldn't just leave one of them back at The Horizon as they all had a purpose.

Lexa had come back because she was the commander, and without her, they'd have a hard time getting into Polis to get the device. Anya might have had a right hand position to Lexa but it was no secret that she'd been killed so her showing up, would be cause for concern.

Clarke came back with them because she was the liaison to the sky people. They had to go to Camp Jaha to determine how her people were involved in this new situation going on at The Horizon. She didn't believe that her people would have anything to do with something so terrible, but she also had spent more time with the grounders than her own recently, so she really couldn't say one way or another.

Yuki and Riku had come along because they were the ones that had said this device could show some insight into the problem they were experiencing. So they had to be the ones to bring it back. They were riding a cart with a couple of horses with the intention to put the device on the cart. However, even now they were struggling to let each other drive the horses.

"Enough!" Anya shouted stopping the two scientists from continuing to fight over the reins. She protected the back of the pack with Daewon. Her messenger that had come along so she could check in with Skaikru with Clarke.

Riku finally stopped grabbing at the reins and let Yuki direct the horses. Yuki turned and smirked at Riku finally winning over all.

Clarke and Lexa rode at the front of the pack, on separate horses as Lexa had felt a lot better after getting a somewhat good night's sleep. Clarke had made it very difficult to get some actually sleep from how her hands roamed Lexa's body the night before.

Lexa turned to Clarke on her left, "Last time we disappeared, we came back in a relationship. This time we are set to be united, how do you think everyone will react?"

Clarke chuckled at Lexa's reference to the cliff, "Well, I don't think anyone's going to notice once they see that Anya is still alive."

"Good point," Lexa agreed.

"I am however curious to know who her spy is though.. Any idea who it might be?" Clarke asked looking back at Anya briefly before looking over at Lexa.

Lexa shook her head, "No idea. They will get a piece of my mind though once we find out. As happy as I am that Anya has not been dead this entire time, that person has been leaking information which is an offense that can be punishable by death."

"Why don't we just see who it is before we jump to conclusions?" Clarke suggested knowing that while she might have some hold over Lexa, she was still very prone to doing things the grounder way.

As they rode up to the Polis tower, a familiar face was in the courtyard talking to Raven. They turned to face Clarke and Lexa getting off their horses.

"Finally! You two have returned, so please tell me, did you say yes?" Sierra asked as Lexa got off her horse but didn't allow either to answer before continuing her train of thought. "You better have said yes, Lexa, because if you did not, you and I are going to be having some words. Do you know how much time I invested in Clarke's proposal?" She turned to Clarke as Clarke appeared next to Lexa, "Does she know how much time I invested?"

"Well I-" Clarke began to answer before being cut off by Sierra.

"That's right. A lot. For the first time in what seems like forever, I finally got a good night's sleep while the two of you were away. It was like sleeping on a bed full of clouds, it was so peaceful and nice to sleep an entire night without being interrupted. Do you know what it's like being interrupted every single night? Plus with that fact that Clarke changed her mind last minute on where she wanted the tent to be set up." Sierra threw up her arms in annoyance.

"I couldn't wait-" Clarke tried again but again was interrupted by Sierra.

"First I had to get someone by the cliff you two fell off because I had to determine how big of a tent could fit there because of course Clarke realized she loved you then. OF ALL PLACES! Then she changed her mind. Do you know how much effort I put into figuring out the logistics of putting a tent in such a terrible location, only to then have to put one closer to Polis? Do you?" She looked directly at Lexa this time waiting for an answer.

"Sierra, this is getting out of hand. I am sure that Clarke is much appreciated for your hard work." Lexa tried to defend Clarke but it was clear that wasn't enough for Sierra.

"Oh I am sure she is but it doesn't make up for all the hours I missed sleeping. So I ask you again, did you after all of that, did you say yes?" Sierra asked Lexa looking toward her waiting for an answer, one she truly wanted an answer for.

"Well, I did say yes but it was the night before we left-" Lexa began speaking before being cut off by Sierra once again.

"Anya, what are you doing here?" Sierra asked recognizing Anya immediately as she had taken her mask and hood off, before quickly correcting herself. "I- I mean, Anya, you're alive!" She said hoping that no one picked up on her mistake.

Lexa however picked up on the mistake narrowing her eyes on Sierra. "Sierra, please explain to me how you knew Anya was still alive?" She asked already knowing the answer to her question. Anya had said she had a spy in Polis. That person would have known that Anya was alive. It was clear from Sierra's comment that she knew, which only meant one thing.

"What? What are you talking about? How would I know that information, I didn't know anything. Her being here right now, is a miracle, that's what they used to say right? Right." Sierra rambled off as she could feel Lexa's eyes staring her down, her resolve slowly diminishing with it.

Lexa looked right past the rambling of questions, "It's a wonder I never figured it out sooner. With everything I know now, and everything that has occurred recently, it all makes sense to me. You knew that my mentor, someone that was practically a sister to me, was alive this entire time and you didn't think I should know that. Why?" She asked placing her left hand on the hilt of her sword. A stance that showed she meant business and if necessary would be able to act quickly if need be.

Sierra looked past Lexa at Anya and when she got the nod to indicate she could divulge information, she answered Lexa, "It wasn't my place to say anything to you."

"You could have pulled me aside and told me in confidence. You know how many secrets I hold, I could have and would have kept that one, but instead you chose to deliberately lie to me. Not only that but you have been passing on information, you do know that is punishable by death, don't you?" Lexa asked the question knowing very well what that would mean but wanted to see what Sierra's reaction would be.

Sierra took a step to Lexa not afraid of what she could do to her, "What would you have done in my position? Anya came to me, someone I thought was dead, and asked me to watch the most important person to them, that person being you. when your life almost ended. What would you have done?"

This new information brought a new understanding of the situation to light for Lexa, "That's what Morad meant." She said quieter than normal as realization hit her.

Sierra took a step back not feeling threatened now, confusion taking its place at what she had heard, "What are you talking about?"

"After Morad and your people found us, on the way to the marsh camp, Morad had said you had only just returned. From what we learned at Anya's camp, her people saved us from certain death so she would have known where we ended up. She sent you there, didn't she?" Lexa asked Sierra, she wanted to hear it from her friend, even with her mentor walking up next to the group. Anya could have easily answered the question but Lexa wanted to know from Sierra. She wanted to know just how deep the lies went.

Sierra made the connection of where Lexa's thoughts had taken them. She hoped this truth wouldn't come out but here they were. "Lexa, I am so sorry… It wasn't my choice to lie to you. I was only following orders."

"You lied to my face, over and over again. Then when we headed to Polis, you came along claiming that you were needed in Polis. That was just your way of staying close wasn't it," Lexa could feel the anger in her growing. As every thought, every moment she thought back on brought her more and more pain. Her friend, her childhood friend had deliberately chosen to keep one of the biggest secrets from her.

"Yes, Anya had asked me to ensure I stayed close to you. She knew that there was a chance that the sickness in their camp might make its way here. If it did, she wanted to know," Sierra explained the best she could from the information she had been told.

Lexa nodded ever so slightly when that information hit her ears, the anger in her growing exponentially. "So, what you are telling me… Is that you not only lied to me about Anya, but then you deliberately chose to keep information about a possible sickness from me as well."

Sierra could see Lexa's form becoming rigid waiting for the answer she knew was coming, "I didn't have a choice, Lexa. I am-"

Anya took this moment to take a step closer to Lexa from her right, "You must forgive me Lexa, I asked Sierra to-"

Lexa's right hand shot up to stop Anya from speaking, "Enough!" She turned her head to face Anya, "This is between me and Sierra, step back!" Her voice seethed with anger, and her eyes showing it just as much.

Anya was quite pleased from the show of strength she was witnessing from Lexa. So she did as she was told, she took a step back waiting for the incident to unfold in front of her.

Clarke stood to Lexa's left, watching the situation unfolding. She wanted to try and help but she knew that there was nothing she could do. When Lexa got into this mindset, there wasn't much anyone could do about it.

"Answer me, Sierra…" Lexa directed her eyesight back toward Sierra.

"I did what had to be done," Sierra answered. She didn't answer any questions, she just said what needed to be said. "I would do it again if it meant keeping you safe."

"So I need protecting now do I? That sounds like an excuse to me," Lexa stated gripping the hilt of her sword a little more her knuckles turning white at the motion.

"You know what, I don't have to stand here and take this. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Anya. She is the one that came to me, and asked me to lie to you because she knew that you would trust me and believe everything that I did. So I might have been the one to do it, but she's the one that knew you'd fall for it," Sierra stated with the most confidence she had during this entire conversation. She knew it would resonate with Lexa if she attacked her pride.

Sierra was right, saying this really hurt Lexa on a deeper level than she thought the betrayal already did.

It was as though the world started moving slow, as Lexa let go of her sword and pulled back her right hand, closing her fingers into a fist and swinging it with force right into Sierra's face. Her fingers connecting with the left side of Sierra's jawline first and her knuckles into Sierra's cheekbone, the motion throwing Sierra's face and body to the right, stumbling to the side a little.

Sierra wasn't going to take this sitting down though. She might have lied to Lexa but she wasn't about to not fight back. She pulled her own right hand into a fist and swung her fist just as hard straight at Lexa but Lexa was quick putting up her left arm to block it. Which Sierra was prepared for and immediately swung her left fist, this time connecting with the right side of Lexa's face, her knuckles connecting with Lexa's nose just enough.

The motion threw Lexa to her left into Clarke who , her nose started to bleed, she pulled her right hand into a fist about to swing it back into Sierra when Anya jumped in between the two of them putting out her hands to both of them stopping them from going at each other. "That's enough! You have both proved your point." Anya yelled looking between Sierra and Lexa. "Fighting each other will solve nothing!"

The look Lexa was giving Sierra showed very clearly just how pissed off she was, but when she tried to breath through her nose to let go of some of her anger she felt the blood back up into her throat causing her to cough a little.

Clarke stepped up to Lexa's side, "We need to get you to a healer now," She held onto Lexa's side as the look on Lexa's face looked like one that might pass out any moment now.

"No, Clarke you go with Daewon back to Camp Jaha and figure out what is going on with your people, I will take Lexa and Sierra to a healer. Riku, Yuki, you two go with Raven to the device, is that understood?" Anya commanded of all people in the area. She was sick and tired of two of her closest friends fighting about something she put into motion, and wanted anything for them to get back on track of why they were there in the first place.

"Lexa needs me, I can stay-"

"No, go, Lexa will be fine. I need you to go to Camp Jaha, I need you to find out why your people have teamed up with some of my people and seem to be determined to kill everyone," Anya stared down at Clarke her presence looming over her.

Clarke swallowed nervously wanting to stay with Lexa but didn't want to cross Anya in fear that she might also get injured in the ordeal, "Okay, Daewon, should we go now?" She asked before looking back at Lexa, she placed a kiss on her forehead, "I'll be back, okay?"

Lexa nodded as she stood back up without Clarke's support.

Daewon gave a swift nod. They got onto their horses, and rode off into the distance.

Anya watched for a moment before looking back to where Yuki and Riku were, they were walking away with Raven toward where she hoped was the device. She then looked back at Lexa and Sierra, "Let's go!" She pushed them forward to start walking toward the Polis tower, where the healer was located.

XXXXX

A few minutes later and they arrived at the healers room. Anya stood in the corner while the healer looked at Lexa and Sierra.

"So, are we going to continue to sit in silence or are the two of you going to speak? I am not walking away until the two of you figure out your differences," Anya stated crossing her arms in front of her.

"We never would have had any differences had you not made me lie to Lexa," Sierra directed her anger toward Anya this time and if she wasn't currently getting her left hand bandaged, she would have lunged at Anya.

Lexa looked from Sierra to Anya curious to know the answer that might come from someone she once trusted with her life. What other secrets had she been holding onto that she didn't want to tell her in this moment. She had so many questions, so many thoughts but she needed to know this one answer, so she waited.

Anya took a step forward, "You are right. This," she motioned to the injuries they sustained. "This might not have happened if I did not make you lie to her, but Lexa, look at it from my point of view, what would you have done in my shoes? An unknown people, brought me back from the dead and all they wanted was to continue to live in the shadows but after Yuki and Riku saved the two of you, during our crisis, how could I not send someone to watch over you?"

"You could have found a way," Lexa fumed with anger even still but now it was directed toward Anya. "I mourned you, we all mourned you, and you were alive, this whole time," She spoke as tears filled her eyes. "I lost my best friend and you made one of the closest people in my life, lie to me. There is no excuse for that. You chose to take the easy route."

Anya shook her head, "Is that what you think? That I just took the easy road and left it at that?"

Lexa kept her eyes trained on Anya and every movement she made, "Yes I do. I would have understood if you couldn't tell me directly, but you could have found a way. Hell, you could have asked Sierra to do it. Instead you chose to have her report back to you on every little detail going on in my life. You made her follow me around, to what end?"

"I wanted you to be safe," Anya pointed out the main purpose of this whole thing.

"I can take care of myself and you of all people should know that," Lexa's vision was blurring from the tears in her eyes refusing to let them spill over. At the end of the day she was still so emotional about the fact that her teacher, her friend, even someone she considered a sister was still alive, but learning the truth, that conflicted things for Lexa. She wiped at her eyes quickly to mask the sadness she was feeling leaving just the anger in its wake.

Anya nodded, "You're right, you can and I know that because I trained you. But there is a new and unknown sickness going around, and I wanted to know the second something changed. I didn't enlist Sierra because I thought you couldn't take care of yourself. I asked Sierra to watch you because I was afraid that I would-" She stopped mid sentence unsure of how to put her thoughts into words. "I didn't want to lose you," She admitted so easily. "When I woke up, blood soaked into my shirt unsure of how I was even alive, all I wanted was to get back to you but I couldn't. I had a new duty, a new people to look out for. I wanted someone to be my eyes and ears, so that I still felt like I was with you. So that if the sickness made it to you, I would know and be able to get to you."

"So, you didn't plant her here as a spy, it was more so to keep an eye on me?" Lexa asked finally understanding the point that Anya was making.

"Yes, I never meant for any of this to happen," Anya said her voice filled with honesty. "I never would have wanted either of you to get into a fight over my way of wanting to keep you safe."

Sierra looked from Anya to Lexa, "I'm sorry I punched you in the face, but to be fair you had it coming because even with your arm still healing, that punch hurt like a bitch."

Lexa chuckled looking over at Sierra, "Well, you certainly did not hold back either because my nose still feels a little numb from the impact and I suspect I will have a couple of black eyes from that."

Sierra chuckled, "Yes you definitely will but it'll match your war paint, so you should be fine."

Lexa reached over and shoved at Sierra's shoulder, "Promise me that if you ever do that again, that you just talk to me. I do not care who you are protecting."

"I'll keep that in mind," Sierra agreed. "So, does this mean I can come back with you guys to wherever you guys came from?"

Anya shook her head, "No, you must stay here. Until this sickness is under control it is better that fewer people know where my camp is."

The healer finished bandaging up Lexa's right arm to help support the sprain that was still healing from the break, as well as her hand. "Yuki and Riku should be good to go by now, will we go to Camp Jaha to meet Clarke and Daewon?"

Anya shook her head, "No, Daewon has instructions to meet us at a point further down the path toward The Horizon, that way we do not need to wait for them here." She explained the best she could.

Lexa nodded her head in understanding, "That does make a lot of sense. Should we go then?"

They all agreed and exited out of the tower back toward where their horses were. Yuki, Riku and Raven were standing by the cart, talking about the device.

"Are we ready to go?" Anya asked walking up to the two scientists and mechanic.

Yuki looked to Anya confused, "I do not mean to question you commander, but if we leave now, we are sure to be travelling some distance in darkness. Are you sure that is a good idea?"

"All I know is that this device, or object whatever you want to call it, may solve the problem that we've been trying to solve for weeks now. The sooner we get it back, the sooner you can run scans on it and determine if it has any value or not," Anya explained the best she could with the knowledge she had at the moment.

"That makes sense actually," Yuki agreed with the statement. Then again, he also wasn't going to go up against Anya for fear that he might get injured in the process. He moved to get up onto the cart, "Raven, are you coming?" He asked, putting his hand out to help her up.

"Uh… Can I?" Raven looked toward Yuki, then to Lexa and Anya.

Yuki cut in before Anya could answer, "She has the most knowledge on what this device could be, she would be useful."

"I was going to agree with the suggestion, Yuki," Anya looked from Yuki to Raven, "Yes, as long as the commander can spare you for this trip." She looked to Lexa, who gave a swift nod.

Raven grabbed onto Yuki's hand and accepted the help up onto the cart.

Anya and Lexa pulled themselves up onto their own horses, as Riku also got onto the cart to direct the horses while Yuki and Raven sat in the back with the device.

"Sierra, if anything happens, report back to me, understood?" Anya asked from on her horse.

Sierra nodded, "Understood."

XXXXXXX

Yuki was right, it was about well after dark by the time they arrived back at The Horizon. They met up with Clarke, Daewon and Abby about mid-way and travelled the rest of the way to the camp together.

Once they arrived, warriors from this clan assisted in getting the device off of the cart and into the lab. It took some extra tries because it was difficult maneuvering through the hallways to the bunker that was the lab but they got it their eventually.

Yuki looked over to Raven and Riku, "Riku, I think you should go with Anya and learn what you can about what happened at Clarke's clan and then come back here. By then hopefully, Raven and I have some sort of grasp on what this is and if it will help us. For all we know all this work was for nothing."

"Do you mind if Lexa and I stay here to help?" Clarke asked not sure where she would be needed. Sure she went with Daewon to Camp Jaha but her mom came back with them because she had the most information on what was happening. So she didn't see the point in standing in a room where she would have no use.

"Sure, if anything Lexa, you should definitely stay because we still need to figure out why you're having bouts of anger as though the poison is still in your system but isn't. So I will half work on that and half work on the device," Yuki suggested looking between the two of them.

Lexa nodded, "That will work."

Riku left the lab and headed back toward the command room which was in a different area than the lab. It took him about fifteen minutes to get there from all the corridors he had to walk through and around.

"Riku, is there news about the device," Anya asked noticing the short scientist enter the room.

Riku shook his head, "No, Yuki and Raven are only just now looking into it, but Yuki thought it best for one of us to be here while all of you discussed what happened at Camp Jaha. Just in case I can then take the information and apply it to whatever they find."

Anya gave a swift nod, "Good thinking, now where were we? Abby, please continue."

"As I was saying, when Jaha arrived back in our camp he wasn't acting like he did before he left. When he left he was on some sort of quest so he wasn't entirely there to begin with but something was different this time around. It was like, he was there but he wasn't," Abby explained to the best of her ability. "Over a short period of time, it was as though his way of thinking, had found its way into some of our people. The way they talked, the way they acted, all of it. It was almost as though they weren't in control of their own bodies."

"Had any of them been injured beforehand? An arrow, for example," Riku asked curious to know if the sickness they had been experiencing was connected.

Abby shook her head, "No, it was some kind of chip. He offered it to anyone that wanted to feel free. Free of pain, free of hurt, or sadness and as he gave those chips to people, they did as was told, they felt better but they stopped acting like themselves."

"Hm-" Anya was about to ask a question when Riku cut in.

"Let me ask you this, when your people changed, did they leave?" Riku asked, "Better yet, when did they leave?"

Abby thought back to when it occurred, "It was only within the last couple of days or so that this had occurred. Then some unknown people came by, and Jaha and the people that had taken the chips, left with them like he had known them. You just missed them by a day or two."

"What kind of chips were these, did they appear mechanical, or…" Riku didn't know how to continue his thought because he didn't have a physical object to look at. What kind of chip could essentially take control of someone's actions?

Abby didn't know how to answer the question, "Kind of… I'm not entirely sure how to describe them because I'd only gotten a brief look at one of them. It was a silver object in a hexagon shape, it was the size of a small coin. They would swallow it and then they changed."

"When they changed, was it instantly or was it gradual? Also did it appear like they were talking to someone?" Riku asked intrigued by the answers he was getting. When they experienced the sickness, they had no context for what was happening or why it was happening. One thing that he did remember was that some of them appeared to be talking to someone that wasn't there.

Abby thought back for a moment trying to remember any time someone had taken the chip, "The only person I remember talking to someone that was clearly not there, was Jaha. He would have full conversation as though someone was standing with him."

"Hm…" Riku stopped asking questions for a moment thinking back to the time when the sickness began trying to find anything that might stick out.

"Riku, have you figured something out," Anya asked because she has learned over time what looks her scientists gets when things are starting to fall in place.

"Okay, so let me see if I got this correctly," Riku started pacing in the room. "Jaha came back from wherever he was, bringing some sort of a chip, at which point he then convinced other people to take these said chips with the promise that they would feel good?" He waited for an answer to which Abby nodded. "Okay, our sickness started a few weeks back, people started losing their minds, some would do as you are saying right now and would just change, and some were just plain losing it as though whatever was happening was too much for them. Now of the people I was able to examine due to them dying from it, they didn't have any foreign objects in their system. It was just a residue of something that might have existed. Something at the back of their neck. Which is different from what you are referring too. What all of the victims I examined did have in common was the poison..." Riku stopped as though something hit him smack in the face.

"What is it?" Anya asked wanting to know what he just figured out.

"Lexa…" Riku's mind was racing, it was as though everything that was happening was finally making sense to him.

"What about Lexa?" Anya asked starting to get frustrated that she was stuck in yet another one of their thought processes.

He stopped pacing and he looked Anya square in the eyes, "When Lexa was hit, she was hit with an arrow that had poison on it right?"

Anya nodded, "Yes, so I used the antidote that the two of you had created but it didn't work."

He took a couple steps toward her, "What if it did?"

Anya looked at him with even more confusion, "I am not following. If the antidote worked, then Lexa would not still be getting bouts of anger like some of those infected were."

"Right, but what if they figured out a way to melt down the chip, and administer it in an easier way…. like an arrow," Riku answered the question as everything was piecing together in his mind. "That would account for why some of those infected had poison in their system. Of those we were able to treat, their emotions just changed but for those that still had the poison in their systems, they slowly lost their minds and died."

"But if they had figured out a way to melt down the chip, why have Jaha go to Camp Jaha with a bag of chips, then?" Abby asked the question looming in her mind.

Riku shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe he thought he could convince people without needing to use the alternative method. With an arrow, they wouldn't have to convince people of their way, they could just take over armies by shooting arrows into the field. Which is what they did with Lexa. They probably thought that if they had the commander on their side, then they could get the full force of the grounders."

"How do you account for the fact that Lexa did not change?" Anya asked partly understanding what Riku was saying but wondered how Lexa fit into all of this.

Riku shrugged his shoulders, "That one I do not have an answer for. She must have something in her that counteracts the chip somehow. I'll have to run some tests to see what-"

*BOOM*

There was a loud explosion somewhere in the facility, which caused the room they were standing in to shake, the lights flicking from the explosion.

"You, where did the explosion go off?" Anya demanded from one of the nearby warriors sitting at one of the stations.

"Uh.. Um.. Well it looks like we've lost all power and connection in the lab and the surrounding areas, so I would say- I would say there," The warrior answered quickly and nervously.

Anya turned to Riku and Abby, "You're a doctor right?"

Abby nodded, "Yes."

"Come with me, Riku, I need you to stay here and figure out what happened, I cannot have you going to the lab just in case it's not stable. Understood?" Anya yelled to the scientist.

He nodded, "Yes commander." He moved over to one of the operating stations and began typing commands into it.

Anya and Abby moved through the hallways as quick as possible, cutting the time down to about seven minutes, and as they turned down the last hallway, Anya had to put her hand out to stop Abby.

"What is it?" Abby asked trying to look around but Anya stopped her and looked back at her.

"How about you head to medical, and I will meet you there?" Anya suggested, "This warrior will take you," She grabbed onto the arm of a warrior running past to help. "Take her to medical, understood?"

He nodded, and grabbed ahold of Abby's arm directing her in a different direction toward medical. "Anya, you can't just-" She was cut off as they walked into another hallway, the sound of her voice dying out as Anya walked down the hallway to the lab.

The hallway was covered in black soot and dark smoke and as she approached the entryway, where the blast door should have been down, she found Yuki unconscious lying on the ground next to where she knew the button to close the door was located. Blood was running from his ears, his arm was twisted in a way that was not natural, and he was covered in black dust. As she was going to ask someone to help him, they appeared at her side and started to assess him.

She looked into the lab briefly, the lab was covered in black soot and smoke, there was still a small fire that warriors were working to extinguish.

The door was partially hanging from the ceiling of the entranceway, but not all of it, she spotted it down the hallway across from the lab, the part of the door that had come down had been sheared off and was up against the wall across from the lab. At first she wasn't too concerned for the door, until she saw what appeared to be a body sticking out just past where the door was leaned up against the wall, their legs behind the shielded door, "Get some help over there!" Anya yelled pointing to the door across the way which was still quite a distance but also wasn't too far. Whoever was under it may not be alive from the impact but Anya refused to let that affect her.

In the hallway leading to where the door was, she saw a lump in the hallway that was coming to light as the smoke cleared the area. She walked over and rolled the body over, it was Clarke, she was also unconscious, with a large gash on the side of her head that was bleeding. How much, she couldn't tell from all of the dust and smoke. "I need someone to get her to medical, now!"

It was then she heard someone coughing, she looked back to where she had walked past Yuki, and there laying against the wall that was just to the left of the lab but across the path, was Lexa.

Anya moved quickly over to Lexa, and kneeled down in front of her, "Lexa, Lexa are you alright?" She asked knowing that Lexa's answer would most definitely be grim. Her ears were also bleeding, she had a gash to her forehead most likely from the impact to the wall, and a couple of her fingers looked broken. That was what she could see, what else she might have wrong she wasn't sure.

Lexa blinked a couple of times at Anya, her eyesight incredibly blurry, and on top of that she couldn't hear a thing. She could see someone's lips moving but she couldn't hear anything, she was so tired, incredibly tired, maybe if she just had a little nap. Just closed her eyes for a moment.

"No, you cannot close your eyes, I need you to stay awake, do you hear me?" Anya commanded, placing her hands on the sides of Lexa's face. "Stay awake. Someone get over here, now!"

"Anya," Lexa whispered the name as her face came into view. All she could hear was ringing, she couldn't hear anything else. On top of that she couldn't remember what happened, he mind felt so clouded. What put her here? How did she get here?

It was then someone shone a bright light in her eyes, which jumpstarted her mind as she winced at the foreign light in her face, "I can see fine," Her voice louder that time as she still couldn't hear herself speaking but she had to tell them to get out of her face.

The healer stood up and looked at Anya, "From a quick examination, she has some hearing loss that I am hopeful will slowly come back, but she'll need to get her fingers splinted and she may have twisted her ankle. We'll get her to medical and patch her up."

Anya nodded, "Do it now, I need someone to explain to me what just happened." She helped them get Lexa onto a gurney, at which point they carried her to the med bay. She looked back down the hall to where the door is, "Did you get them out?"

A warrior walked over to Anya, "Commander, Raven was behind the door, it looked like she might have just been knocked out from the force of the door hitting her back. We have gotten her out and have taken her to medical."

"Good, let me know the second one of them wakes up," Anya commanded to the warrior that was headed back to medical.

She looked back into the lab, it was all covered in soot with a single point in the back of the lab that looked like the point where the explosion started. "What happened here?"
