"How did this happen?" Lexa yelled as soon as they entered the library,

"I- I don't know I mean- she was reading, and I was saying we don't know what the chip does." Raven explained frantically trying to get her words together, "That's when she grabbed one of the chips, we were comparing to the new one and she just swallowed it! I shouldn't have had her near them i- I'm."

"Where is she?" Clarke looked around the room stopping when she found the little girl laying on the couch completely unresponsive.

"She hasn't moved since she took it." Raven was panicking not only was she worried for Madi but at the looks Lexa was currently giving her.

Clarke checked the girls vitals trying to figure out why she wasn't waking up.

"Everyone else who took it has been fine!" Clarke lightly shook the girl, "Madi I need you to wake up sweety." Nothing. "Madi please."

Clarke was trying hard to keep it together but the girl wasn't waking up even though she seemed perfectly fine on the outside.

"What can we do?" Lexa asked Raven,

"Lexa- I don't know."

"What if I take the chip and shut down A.L.L.I.E, would that wake her up?"

"If all my hypotheticals are right then yes, but we haven't even attempted modifying the chip yet."

"The flame will protect me." Lexa said plainly, "If it's the only way to save her I'm doing it."

"Are you crazy?" Clarke tore her eyes from Madi zoning in on Lexa, "We have no clue what will happen when you take that."

"We have to do something Clarke." Lexa looked at the small girl that laid on the couch, it looked as if she was sleep but they knew it was more than that.

"We'll find another way, what if you take it and A.L.L.I.E immediately does something to you?"

"The flame will protect me Clarke, don't ask me how I know I just do." Lexa sighed, "We have to save her, she's- I mean…. we -."

"I know." Clarke nods understanding what she means, Madi had only been with them for a week but she was theirs and neither of them wanted her to leave.

"I have to do this Clarke and-."

"And I have to let you?" Clarke finished the girls sentence remembering the first she'd heard it.

"Yes." Lexa knew they wouldn't understand how the flame works but right now it was like Becca had a main line of communication to her. She knew she would guide her. "Have faith in me."

Clarke racked her brain for another solution, she could drag Madi to medical and see what her mom could do or try literally anything else so Lexa doesn't have to do this. This wasn't about faith it was about safety and being scared this could all end terribly.

"Come back to me." Clarke murmured barley above a whisper,

"Always." Lexa nodded,

The next few hours were filled with Lexa and Raven going over what Lexa will do once she takes the chip while Clarke sat by Madi hoping she would wake up before they went through with this.

"It's time." Lexa kneeled beside the blonde, "Raven says I should take the regular chip instead of the one Jaha gave you just in case it's laced with something." Lexa looked at her as she watched Madi, "I'll get her back Clarke I promise."

Clarke nodded turning her attention to her wife, "Ai hod yu in houmon, ai gaf both gon yu."

"You'll have both of us I promise." Lexa kissed the blonde quickly, "Ai hod yu in Clarke." Lexa laid on the couch opposite of Madi waiting for Raven to give her the chip.

"Last chance to back out." Raven said half joking,

"It'll be ok Raven." Lexa smiled,

"And if it isn't its all my fault." Raven whispered,

"This isn't your fault Raven; it's A.L.L.I. E's and I swear we will fix this."

"You're even crazier than me."

"Perhaps that is why we get along so well." She smiled,

"Perhaps." Raven nodded handing the girl the clear blue chip, "Do what we discussed."

"I will." Lexa looked over at Clarke who was still facing Madi but she could hear the girls tears and it broke her heart but she needed to do this. She took the chip from Raven's hand and placed it in her mouth feeling as it dissolved instantly she closed her eyes feeling a sort of calm wash over her.

When she opened her eyes she was no longer in her library in the tower but in some sort of city? She was surrounded by tall glass buildings and streets and sidewalks things she's never seen in her life before.

"What is going on?" Lexa whispered to herself wondering if this was all in her head and if it was could Raven and Clarke hear her?

She walked up the street waiting to see something or even someone but there was nothing, just empty streets. The more she walked the more hopeless she felt, maybe this wasn't the best idea.

"Don't doubt yourself now commander." A voice said from behind her,

"Regina?" Lexa watched as the dark-skinned women walked towards her, she was dawned in her braids and bright war paint she used to look at almost every day. It was like déjà vu seeing her standing in front of her.

"It's good to see you Lexa kom Trikru." Regina smiled, "You've become a great warrior and leader, I should've put my faith in you instead of Luna."

"Luna is a great warrior."

"But you are the visionary." Regina added, "You did what all of us could never do, I am proud to have you as my successor Lexa."

Lexa doesn't need recognition from the previous commander no matter how flattering right now she needed to figure out how to shut this place down and find Madi.

"Are you here to help?"

"I am." Regina nodded, "Becca Pram Heda wants me to lead you to the kill switch."

"Kill switch?"

"It is how you will stop A.L.L.I.E, once you hit the switch this place will shut down."

"Why is no one here?"

"They are the flame offers some protection but now that you've taken the chip A.L.L.I.E is probably already trying to access the flame which means we need to hurry."

Lexa followed Regina through the streets, as they are walking she notices people suddenly walking around them but they don't seem to be paying them any mind.

"They can't see us." Lexa said standing a few feet in front of a person that she recognizes from the village.

"For now but we need to hurry."

"How much further?" Lexa asked,

"Look." Regina pointed up to a spotlight blinking an infinity sign, "We follow the signs." Lexa nodded following the women.

"We expected this to happen." Raven assured the blonde,

"So what we wait for her to wake up?" Clarke asked, Lexa had taken the chip almost an hour ago and nothing had happened,

"She will wake up Clarke." Raven said trying to convince Clarke and herself, "She has to." She looked down at the commander hoping for something, a sign saying she was ok like a twitch of the finger or eye movement but there was nothing.

"It's through there." Regina pointed down a corridor,

"You're not coming?"

"I have something else to take care of." Regina pointed to the group people running towards them, "You're running out of time."

"One last fight?" Lexa asked seeing the first couple people getting closer to them.

"It would be an honor commander." Regina smiled grabbing her swords, Lexa mimicking her getting ready for their fight.

Lexa easily took out the first few people leaving the stragglers to Regina, if it were any other situation she would enjoy the opportunity to fight with an ex commander like this but she was in a hurry.

"You need to go now! I'll hold them off!" Regina yelled blocking a sword from one of the followers,

"What about you?" Lexa yelled as she fought off a man,

"I'm already dead Lexa but you are not, our people need you. You're houmon and goufa's need you now go!"

Lexa took one last look at her old teacher before running into the corridor where she found a door with the infinity sign on it. She wasted no time walking through revealing her throne room but different. It was the room but everything different, the chair was… unfinished and the walls were falling apart.

"Hello Commander."

"Becca." Lexa smiled looking at the woman, "What is this place?"

"This is the throne room, after the bombs the tower required a lot of work. I wish I could explain to you everything and maybe one day I will be able to but now there is something you need to do." Becca motioned towards a switch placed on the throne. "Pull it and you will destroy the city of light and A.L.L.I.E."

"And the people in it?"

"They will be freed, even Madi."

"Ok." Lexa walked towards the switch prepared to pull it when another woman appeared,

"Are you sure you want to do that commander?" A woman who looked exactly like Becca said, she was wearing a red dress and heels with her hair pulled back. "The City of Light offers everyone a place where you can live free of pain and suffering."

"That is apart of life." Lexa replied plainly,

"But it doesn't have to be." A.L.L.I.E smiled, "Here you can be what you've always wanted, you can be just Lexa. You won't have to be the leader of anyone, you'd be free. Here you can live happily with Clarke and your children without the fear of war, it would be as easy as breathing."

"She's stalling." Becca interrupted, "As soon as the upload is complete she'll have access to the flame. You need to pull the kill switch Lexa."

"Stay here commander, have a happy life." A.L.L.I.E continued, "Choose yourself for once and let go of the pain you suffer from being the commander."

"Pain is a part of life; it reminds you that you are alive and even at it's worse it gives you a reason to keep living. I have suffered a lot being commander but I would do it all again for this outcome." Lexa looked at Becca who smiled and nodded, "Goodbye A.L.L.I.E." Lexa pulled the lever quickly before she could reply,

"Lexa." A soft voice whispered, "Come back to me, please."

"Clarke?"

"I'm here."

When Lexa opened her eyes she was immediately greeted with blue eyes and blonde hair clouding her vision.

"Madi?'

"She's fine, she's awake. My mom is checking her right now." She looked over seeing Abby talking and smiling with the young girl. "I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you for believing in me." Lexa grabbed the blondes head pressing their foreheads together.

"Always." Clarke nodded,

"Lexa!" Madi ran over to the girls joining them, "I'm sorry I ate the chip I was only trying to help I swear!"

"It's ok Madi you're not in trouble." Lexa smiled at the girl, "Next time be careful ok, even when you don't think your helping I promise you are."

Madi nodded throwing her arms around the woman, although her and Madi had bonded since they met they hadn't hugged each other. The first couple of seconds she froze up, then after seeing the huge smile on Clarkes face she wrapped her arms around the little girl.

"Madi we have something to ask you." Lexa said as they pulled out of their hug,

"Ok." She said nervously,

"Me and Clarke were wondering if you wanted to stay with us."

"I already stay with you." Madi furrowed her brow,

"She means forever Madi." Clarke smiled,

"Really?"

"Only if you want to." Lexa nodded,

"Even when your baby comes?"

"She's going to need someone to look after her when me and Clarke can't, do you think you can do that?"

"I'll protect her with my life." Madi nodded trying to mimic one of Lexa's serious faces,

"Then it's settled, we get to keep you forever." Clarke smiled grabbing the girl into her arms causing her to laugh,

"Where is Raven?" Lexa asked Clarke,

"She wanted to wait for you to wake but I insisted that she go check on the others. Make sure everyone is ok after taking the chip."

"Becca told me they would be."

"So then it's over?"

"It's over." Lexa nodded,

After Abby checked Lexa even after she insisted she was fine the group made there way downstairs. When they went outside Lexa looked around at all the people gathered in the square. Guards were helping people who had taken the chip while the medics were making sure they were healthy.

"It looks like you stopped A.L.L.I.E before she could do any real damage." Raven said as she walked over to the girls, "Besides psychological damage we're in the clear."

"Psychological?" Lexa asked,

"Some of these people weren't given much of a choice when it came to taking the chip." Raven explained, "From what I've heard tonight some people were force fed or threatened by loved ones. Now they're all sane and they have to live with what A.L.L.I.E made them do."

"It'll be hard but we'll get through it." Lexa thought back to what A.L.L.I.E said and wondered would being there be better than this? That thought didn't last long when she looked beside her and saw her family, life would be hard but they would get through it together. Always together.
