Chapter 44-Getting Info
Mount Weather
The hundred that was in Mount Weather were eating. Roy walks over to Monty, Athena, and Jasper. "Hey, Roy," Jasper says.
"Sit down and pretend you're happy to see me," Roy says.
"We are happy to see you," Monty says. Miller comes over and sits by them. "You have to try the chocolate cake," Monty says.
"Oh, it is so on," Jasper says. Athena smiles as she takes a bite of her food.
"I'm not eating their food," Roy says as he shows the map. Miller looks at it. "Look. They gave us a map with no exits. I need you to tell me everything you've seen. Every room, every hallway. Every way out," Roy says.
"Way out. Look around you. There's no one hunting us here. First time in our lives, we're not hungry. Why would we leave?" Jasper asks.
"Because we have friends out there who need our help. Claire is out there. Easten died out there. They called the grounders savages. Where the hell is Ontari?" Roy asks.
"It is a little weird," Miller says.
"They're looking for survivors, and maybe they left her. They are way better equipped to find them than we are," Monty says.
"This place is too good to be true," Roy says.
"You're bumming me out. I'm gonna get more cake," Jasper says as he leaves. He sees Jasper talking to Maya. Roy walks over.
"Hey, it's Maya, right?" Roy asks. Maya nods. "I just wanted to say sorry for this morning. I was scared and worried about my friends. I hope you can understand that," Roy says. He grabs his book and walks away as he slips Maya's key card in his pocket. Roy walks away. He hears footsteps behind him. He turns and sees Miller.
"I'm coming," Miller says. Roy nods as he starts to walk. They hear alarms.
"Alert. Code five," The voice says.
"I'm not a prisoner, huh? Roy asks as Miller and Roy start to run. They run through the halls and see guards. They continue to run. Roy flashes the key cards and shuts the door. They see stairs. Miller grabs the cord and pulls it away from the door, tearing it off. They go up the stairs and reach the top.
"Unauthorized access," The voice says. Roy runs to the door and tries to open it. They turn the wheel in the middle as they grab a level.
"No, if you pull that lever, these people will die. Even a little radiation could kill them," Jasper says. Maya comes back with a gun.
"Don't make me shoot you two," Maya says. Jasper gets in front of her.
"Wait. Wait," Jasper says. He looks at Roy and Miller. "Guys, don't do this," Jasper says.
"We don't believe them," Miller says.
"Why would they lie? Listen to me. We are safe here. Because of you, Bellamy, Wells, Murphy, Billy, and Clarke," Jasper says.
"Not all of us. Not Claire," Roy says.
"You're the one that fired the rockets. Should you have done that? Roy, when you pulled that level, you saved lives. Don't throw that away by pulling this one," Jasper says. They let the level go as guards get their and aim guns at them. They put them on the ground and handcuff them.
The group
The group heading for the dropship walked towards the dropship slowly as Bellamy and Wells were still hurt. Billy was walking mainly by himself behind Lexa, Any, and Luna when Kane came up beside him. Billy looks at Kane and smiles. "It's still weird," Kane says as he looks around.
"The ground?" Billy asks. Kane nods. "I didn't get to take it all in when I got here. First, it was controlling Bellamy and making sure the hundred kept their wristbands on. And then saving Jasper after he got speared," Billy says the last part a little louder.
"He lived," Anya says.
"Barley," Billy says as he looks back at Kane. "When that ship blew up. I felt like I was drowning until I heard your voice," Billy says.
"I know the feeling. I felt it every day after you left. Watching that wristband, worried that any second it would go red," Kane says.
"Let's agree not to think each other are dead from now on," Billy says to Kane.
"Agreed," Kane says. "But let's talk about your attire and weapons," Kane says.
"I am also curious about that," Jake says as he looks at Clarke and Raven, who were wearing similar outfits.
"After we got to Polis, we had to fit in. So, Lexa had us all fitted for armor that we would use when we came back," Raven says.
"You said you were all being trained. By who?" Jaha asks.
"Anya is training me," Billy says with a smirk.
"What about Clarke and Raven?" Callie asks.
"Please, we don't need this," Clarke says.
"Aden and Tris," Lexa says.
"Wait, the day Raven was too sore to talk. Is that because she has been beaten up by kids?" Murphy asks with a smirk.
"Yes, Aden trains Clarke and Tris Raven," Anya says. Murphy and Bellamy start to laugh.
"I wouldn't laugh. They could knock both of you on your asses," Roan says.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they could beat me," Claire says. Lexa looks at her.
"You are someone I have wanted to talk to for some time," Lexa says. Claire looks at her commander. "You joined these people and disobeyed orders. Most would be killed for what you did," Lexa says.
"You do what you see is right, Heda," Claire says.
"You are not in any kind of trouble, Claire. You were the first of our people to come to peace with the hundred. I respect you for seeing them as people and not our enemy," Lexa says as they walk.
"Thank you, Heda," Claire says.
"Did any of you by any chance see Ontari?" Roan asks.
"I saw her go into the dropship," Wells says.
"So if they weren't taken. Then she is alive," Roan says.
"Taken by who? The Mountain men? You still haven't told us who that is," Abby says.
"And we won't until we get to Alpha station regardless of where the hundred is," Billy says.
"We would rather not explain it twice," Lexa says. Abby nods as Lexa looks at her girlfriend's parents. Murphy looks at her before he looks at Billy, who shrugs his shoulder. Lexa looks back to the path in front of them. Atom walks over to Claire, who looks at him.
"You worried about Roy?" Atom asks. Claire nods.
"Aren't you?" Claire asks.
"Of course, Roy is strong if he was taken by this Mountain. He'll do whatever it takes to get back to you," Atom says to her. Claire nods and smiles at Atom.
"Thanks, Atom," Claire says.
"Anytime," Atom says. Wells walks towards the back as Jaha falls in step with his son.
"What happened to you?" Jaha asks.
"I got in a fight with the grounder that took me while helping Bellamy," Wells says.
"You saved him?" Jaha asks.
"Tyler would have killed him," Wells says. "Bellamy's one of the hundred. We wouldn't have survived without him," Wells says.
"Murphy said the same thing," Jaha says.
"Dad," Wells says. Jaha looks at him. "All of this is because of Bellamy, Billy, Murphy, and Clarke. They did it. They kept the hundred alive after you sent them to die. We survived, and we did good. I know you may not like it, but he will become the leader of our people. The hundred will side with him, and so will the people when they see the kind of leader he is. You better prepare yourself for that," Wells says before he walks over to Charlotte, who looks at him and smiles. Wells smiles down at her as Jaha watches. Jake comes and stands by his friend.
"Our kids have grown up, Jaha. It looks like we may have more to learn from them than they do from us," Jake says.
"It appears that may be true, Jake," Jaha says as they walk up the group. The group gets close to the dropship.
Nyko, Lincoln, and Roy
Nyko, Lincoln, and Octavia run through the woods with Lincoln carrying Octavia as she speaks Trigedasleng. "One more. Come on, say it," Lincoln says. She says it again.
"How far are we?" Octavia asks.
"We're close," Lincoln says as they start to go faster.
The dropship
They arrive at the dropship, and Billy hands Bellamy his gun. He pulls out his sword as they walk past bodies and logs on the ground. "It's too quiet," Bellamy says. Billy goes towards the ship with the others following. They go inside. "Miles," Bellamy says.
"Bellamy?" Miles says.
"Yeah, it's me. Claire, Atom help me," Bellamy says as he goes up the ladder. They follow him up the ladder. Billy walks outside as two guards go in with a stretcher and Abby. He bends down and grabs a can, and looks at Lexa, who nods.
"Damn it!" He yells. Everybody looks at him as they bring Miles out.
"Where are the kids?" Abby asks.
"The Mountain has them. We need to get to Alpha station, now," Billy says as he starts to walk away.
"You are not in charge here anymore," Jaha says.
"If you want those kids back, yes, he is," Lexa says. They leave as the others follow him, and they head for Alpha station.
With Lincoln, Nyko, and Octavia
They go through the woods and past stones on the ground. Lincoln takes her inside the village as the guards look at him. "Indra," One of them says as they come in.
"The commander told me you were coming," Indra says. Nyko nods as he goes to his tent and sets Octavia down.
"I need time, Indra," Nyko says. Indra nods as she walks out, and Lincoln sits down as Nyko gets the antidote and gives it to Octavia. "Sleep," Nyko says to her. Octavia nods as she lays her head down. "She will be okay. Now we rest," Nyko says to Lincoln, who nods as they both lay down.
Mount Weather
The guards lead Roy and Miller down the hall and into an office where Dante was. "Lose the handcuffs," Dante says. They take them off the two teens. "I was outside 56 years ago for 5 minutes. I was seven when the first of what we call the outsiders appeared. Before that, we thought we were all there was imagine our surprise," Dante says.
"We don't have to imagine," Miller says.
"My father, this was his office at a time believed that the Earth was survivable again, and so he opened the doors within a week. Fifty-four people were dead from the exposure. My mother and sister among them," Dante says before he turns around. "Loss, pain. Regret. Time eases these things, boys. But the only time it's ever gone is when I'm painting," Dante says.
"You didn't bring us here to talk about painting. Did you?" Roy asks.
"I'm afraid I have bad news. Our patrols have swept the area and found no evidence of survivors. Either at your camp or from the Ark," Dante says.
"How can they be sure?" Miller asks.
"They can't. I ordered them to keep searching," Dante says.
"We need to see for ourselves," Miller says.
"I can't allow that. I'm doing this for your own good, boys. It's not safe out there," Dante says.
"Radiation has no effect on us," Roy says.
"It's not the radiation I'm concerned about. You need time to grieve," Dante says as two men come in. "These men will show you to your room," Dante says.
"And if we try to leave?" Miller asks.
"Please don't test me, boys," Dante says. Roy and Miller follow them out. Miller and Roy sat in their rooms.
"We're not trusting that ass clown are we?" Miller asks.
"Hell no, we'll follow along for now and when the time is right. We'll find Ontari, and then we'll get out," Roy tells Miller, who nods. They are taken into a room a little bit later, where they hold hands with others.
"For the past and the future, we serve," Dante says.
"We give thanks," Everybody says.
"Good, health, good food and good company and the blessing of new friends," Dante says.
"We give thanks," Everybody but Roy and Miller said. They sit down. Miller and Roy take a bite of food as Dante smiles at them. After they are taken into a room with bunk beds. Roy sits down by Miller and gets on the top bunk as they look at the map. He started to mark things down as Miller sat by him and looked at it.
"I'm coming, Claire," Roy says to himself as Miller looks at him and nods.
Alpha station
They walk towards the station as Jackson hugs Abby, and everybody looks at the others. Kane looks at them. "Everybody, this is the commander of the 12 clans. We have a lot to discuss," Kane says to them. Billy and Lexa nod.
"That we do that. Another war is coming," Billy says. Kane looks at him as he walks into Alpha station. Kane looks at Lexa.
"What happened to him?" Kane asks.
"He had to grow up. He had to become a leader," Lexa says as she follows him inside with the others. Luna watches them before she follows. Abby takes Miles to surgery as Clarke walks back over to Lexa, who gives her a small smile. Billy held his sword in his hand. Bellamy and Murphy walk into the small room he was in.
"What happens now?" Bellamy asks.
"We make this place safe, and then we prepare for war," Billy says. They nod as they leave the room. Billy puts his sword away and walks out of the room, and prepares to talk to the people and his friends.
Thanks for reading. This is so much fun. I am a little unclear of this season, but I am getting there. I have a lot of fun ideas. I hope you guys like my Miller idea. I just feel like he would be better on the outside, and I have some ideas for him. The next chapter will have to do with the people and leadership. As always, suggestions, ideas, and feedback are welcomed. Until next time.
