Raven and her team would be leaving in a few hours so Clarke was preparing herself to talk to Jaha once again. She hadn't seen him since she pledged her fake allegiance and unknown to her the chips had been circulating around Polis. A guard who took one was caught trying to persuade his friends to take it and if it weren't for Titus they might've. This chip was like the newest drug on the block and everyone was curious about it. The people who took it were acting like minions and neither her nor Lexa knew how to stop this, their only hope was Raven.

When she arrived at the dungeons she once again found Jaha in his meditating position, eyes closed and a smile on his face. It weirded Clarke out but she put it aside and tried to put her best smile on as well.

"I'm sorry to bother you." Clarke said making the man open his eyes,

"It's no bother at all." He smiled, "I'm told many people have taken the chip, good job Clarke."

"Is A.L.L.I.E happy about that?'

"A.L.L.I.E cannot be happy; her main goal is the survival of the human race."

'Makes sense to end the world then.' Clarke thought to herself,

"She is curious as to why you haven't taken the chip yet."

"As much as I am appreciative of the cause I cannot in good faith take the chip while I am still pregnant." Clarke explained hoping he would buy it, "I don't want her to be hurt."

Jaha stared at her for a minute glancing behind her every few seconds like someone was there.

"Right well, we're happy you decided to visit today." Jaha said still glancing behind her,

"Why exactly?"

"Because now it's time for phase two, A.L.L.I.E needs the flame so your last tasks is to get the commander to take the chip?"

"Why does Lexa need to take the chip?" Clarke didn't like where this was going,

"All your questions will be answered soon Clarke, for now you do as your told. Get Lexa to take this chip." Jaha pulled a chip out of his pocket and handed to her through the metal bars. Clarke examined the chip, it looked like the others except the infinity sign is black.

"This isn't like the others."

"It's special." Jaha explained, "Make sure she takes it."

Clarke nodded not sure if she could trust her voice, it was clear they had sinister plans for Lexa. Plans she refused to let come to fruition, they needed to stop A.L.L.I.E immediately.

Clarke left the dungeons and went straight to the throne room where Lexa, Raven and her travel entourage were waiting. As soon as the door opened heads turned straight to her but she ignored them walking straight to Lexa and Raven.

"We need to talk." Clarke said quietly pulling the two girls to the side.

"You don't look like you're bringing good news." Raven said,

"There isn't much good news that can come from Jaha's mouth." Clarke sighed, "But this news is particularly worrisome." Clarke opened her hand and showed the girls the special chip Jaha gave her.

"This is different." Raven picked up the chip inspecting it.

"What is it Clarke?" Lexa asked, she could see the blonde was worried by the look on her face.

"He wants me to get you to take this chip, he wouldn't tell me much about it just that A.L.L.I.E needs the flame."

"We know the chips give her access to people's minds and subconscious." Raven said still looking at the chip, "If you were to take this I think it will give her access to the flame."

"Why does she want the flame so bad?" Clarke asked,

"The flame is the better version of A.L.L.I.E, it's everything Becca meant to do the first time."

"So they want an upgrade?"

"Essentially yes." Raven sighed, "Maybe if it take a closer look at this chip they want you to take I can rig it somehow. So if you take it A.L.L.I.E won't be in control but she would also be in your head."

"What good would that do?" Lexa asked,

"If I'm right A.L.L.I.E is basically a code so if you take the chip modified you would be able to read her code but she won't be able to get to the flame."

"You can do that?" Clarke looked to the girl,

"I don't know, maybe." Raven replied unsurely, "I can't leave and work on this."

"So we post pone the trip a few days." Lexa said, "More people are starting to take the chip even with my guards going around and collecting them. If there is something we can do here we have to try."

"Ok, Monty might be able to help. I'll grab him and we'll start immediately." Raven put the chip in her pocket,

"Do you need anything?" Clarke asked the girl,

"Time, we don't know what happens when more people take the chip. I need to figure this out before we find out."

"Go, we'll handle the chips." Lexa nodded, Raven grabbed her books and research before heading out of the door.

"What's going on?" Octavia asked walking over to the two, "When do we leave?"

"Not today." Lexa said walking to join the others, "The trip to the dead zone has been delayed, I'll have more details in the next few days. For now enjoy time with your families and be safe."

"What happened?" Bellamy asked, the rest of the group had started to leave except Bellamy, Echo, Max, and Octavia.

"We may have found a way to stop A.L.L.I.E from here; Ravens working on it now." Clarke explained,

"Is there anything we can do?" Max asked,

"We need to figure out how to stop the chips from circulating, the more people take them the worse. We have no clue what A.L.L.I.E is planning and Jaha isn't offering up much more information." Clarke sighed, "Raven needs as much time as she can get."

"We'll do what we can." Octavia nodded,

Lexa assembled a group of warriors and guards to patrol polis specifically for the chips and anyone who has taken them. They needed to know how many people have already taken them.

While that was happening Clarke visited medical where Madi was waiting with Abby. At first she thought her mom wouldn't be supportive of them taking in Madi but she was all for it.

When she walked in she found Abby showing Madi how some of the equipment worked. She could tell by the look on the little face how in awe she was of everything.

"Having fun?" Clarke smiled,

"Your mom showed me how to take someone pulse!" Madi replied clearly excited about being here, "Do you think I could be a Doctor Clarke?"

"I think you can be anything you want so yes if that's what you want you can be a doctor." Clarke smiled, watching Madi go back to looking at all the tools,

"She's incredibly smart." Abby murmured to her daughter,

"I know, we only started learning how to read a couple weeks ago and she read me a short paragraph last night without a problem. If her parents had given her any attention she would be so amazing."

"She still can be." Abby smiled, "You and Lexa seem to have taught her a lot in the short time she's bee with you; I have no doubt she will be anything but amazing."

"I hope so." She mumbled, "Anyways I know this is a busy time of day so I'm taking Madi to the library to practice some reading."

"Abby am I allowed to come back?" Madi asked walking over to the women,

"I'd love it if you did." Abby smiled,

"Thanks mom."

When they got to the library Madi immediately ran to Raven who was working on the chips with Monty and weirdly Jasper. He never really talks to her, not since Mount Weather anyways so she smiles friendly before walking over to Raven.

"Madi Raven might not be able to talk today she's really busy ok?" Clarke said to the girl,

"I always have time for you Mads, maybe you can help me by reading these journals." Raven handed Becca's journals over to the girl, it was a way to practice her reading and feel like she was helping.

"I won't be able to stay but if you get stuck on a word just ask Raven or Monty ok?"

"I'll help you." Jasper volunteers, "I know it may be hard to believe but I know how to read." He joked with the younger girl,

"Thank you." Clarke smiled, "I'll be back later ok?"

"Ok Clarke." Madi smiled before opening her book,

Clarke had no clue how she could be useful to anyone and maybe she couldn't but there was no way she would just sit around and do nothing. Her only distraction was to finish what she started, figure out how to change the conclave but she needed help. Or at least some insight from someone who might know why exactly things are the way they are and other than Lexa she only knew one person.

"Hi." Clarke smiled sitting down near the training grounds,

"Hello Clarke." Luna smiled back, "What can I do for you?"

"I was hoping you could help me with something, and before I dive in with my questions I want to make sure you're comfortable with talking about it."

"Ok, about what?" Luna asked,

"The conclave." Clarke watched the girls face for any emotion but there was nothing,

"What do you want to know about it?"

"I-." Clarke blanked on how to phrase her questions, "Do you know why the Nightblood's are forced to fight to the death for the title? I mean- I guess I just wonder if Nightblood is so rare, why kill each other?"

"It's our way." Luna said plainly,

"There's no rhyme or reason?"

"What are you doing Clarke?" she squinted at the blonde trying to figure her out,

"I want to rewrite the rules of the conclave."

"I was not expecting that I suppose." Luna admitted, "May I ask why?"

"Why not? I've gotten to know these kids and I just don't think they should have to die because it's 'their way'. They deserve to live their lives the way they choose so if there's a way I can give them a future I'm going to try." She explained,

"I don't doubt that is why but there is definitely something more"

Clarke sighed, "My baby could be a Nightblood, I don't want this for her and Lexa won't even discuss the possibility of it happening." She didn't want to mention Elena or Theo because that was up to Alix to tell.

Luna paused for a second taking in everything the blonde said.

"I admire that." Luna said finally, "Does Lexa know you're doing this?"

"No."

"The conclave starts with the burning ceremony of the old commander, their spirit rests in the flame but their body remains for the Nightblood's to properly put them to rest. After the first round of fights start depending on how many officiants there are the fight last 3 days ending with the winner. Then comes ascension, even if you win the fights the flame can reject you, if it finds you worthy you are the new commander. You perform the reading of the past commanders names then your rule starts." Luna explains, "This is how it's been for decades Clarke; I can't imagine it will ever change."

"But so much has already changed Luna, you can't tell me this is the same place you left years ago." Clarke points out, "Even if it's impossible don't you think I owe it to those kids to try?"

"I suppose, why haven't you asked Lexa for help?"

"I thought I could do it without her, clearly I'm failing." She chuckles,

"And you want my help?"

"I guess I wanted your insight, I know this competition took a lot from you so I'm sorry for bringing it up."

"I used to not be able to talk about it but after years of living with it I had to let it go. Or at least try and let it go."

"Were you and your brother close?" Clarke asks,

"No, not really. Like Elena and Theo he was my twin but we shared no real connection once we were brought to Polis. He bought into the conclave and wanted to be the commander, even if that meant killing me. The day of our fight he looked me in the eyes and I knew he thought of me as his enemy. He was a great fighter but I guess I was better." She sighed, "After my fight with him I left but that memory will never leave me, I hope you can save those kids from that and if I can help I want to."

"I don't even know what to do next." Clarke sighed,

"Then we'll figure it out, together." Luna smiled holding out her hand for the blonde to take.

"Together." She took the girls hand.

"How many?"

"Twenty in the village Heda."

It had been a couple of hours since Lexa sent her guards out looking for A.L.L.I. E's chips and people who have taken them. So far they collected thirty chips from people thinking about taking them so that was something.

"Thank you Mylin, keep searching. Report back in the morning." The women bowed before exiting the room Clarke replacing her.

"Any good news?" Lexa asked,

"I was just going to ask you that question."

"We found some chips but I have no news that is beneficial. What about Raven?"

"I was on my way there after this to go get Madi."

"We'll go together."

"LEXA I mean Heda, commander?" A frantic Monty ran into the throne room alarming both girls,

"Monty what's going on?" Clarke asked the boy,

"It's Madi, she-."

"What happened?" Lexa asked the boy making his breathing increase,

"She took the chip."

"The chip?"

"The chip, she took it." Monty repeated,
