Hey guys. Here's another chapter. Its a doozy roughly 14K words.

To the guest reviewer whose pen name is basically you smashing the keyboard: I'm sorry, but Roan and Clarke just isn't happening... sorry to disappoint.

I'm currently without a beta so if they're any errors. i apologise in advance. I pulled an all nighter to pump this bad boy out.

I'm starting a new trend where I'll just post a song you should listen to. Just for fun, not for this chapter or any in the future specifically.

Song Rec: The Human League - Don't You Want Me

Fun song until you understand the lyrics.

Hope you enjoy

I don't own the 100

"May we meet again,"said Clarke's voice through the speakers and Kane was silent as he mulled over everything they had just learnt.

There was obviously a lot more to the story than they had originally thought. There were survivors on Earth. Admittedly, this was always a possibility.

The first ever usage of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima had not resulted in the total annihilation of everyone who had been exposed to the radiation after. However, the scale of the Apocalypse had been said to be on another level.

The mushroom clouds created by the bombs reached miles into the sky and were visible from all of the stations. There had been attempts from the various space stations and eventually the Ark to radio in to Earth, but after no response from all of the nuclear strongholds for 10 years ,probably due to the ambient radiation in the air, there had been no further attempts to reach out to the ground.

Secondly, the fact that the survivors had not adapted to the new Earth, but enough of then had survived to form a political system of sorts.

Finally and most surprisingly, if Clarke's words were to be believed the Grounders had also shown signs of having been exposed to the Darwin nanobots.

It wasn't clear how they'd gotten access to them and it was worrying for the 100. The Grounders were apparently not peaceful at all. The crucial aspect most seemed to overlook about the nanobots was that the chances of their power manifesting were only low if one lived a conflict free life and it was under those conditions that the probabilities had been calculated after the Blight Era.

Therefore, it was likely that the nanobots would behave differently in dangerous situations. They were made for war after all. The only silver lining was that it was likely that more of the 100 would develop powers if they themselves were in dangerous situations.

Marcus tried not to think about how many of the 100 would die in said dangerous situations.

"May we meet–"began Jaha before the radio stopped transmitting and vibrations began to echo throughout the Ark. The monitors showing all the video captured by the cameras also went completely black.

Abby turned to Sinclair and said,"What happened? "

Sinclair tapped buttons on the keyboard rapidly before letting out a sigh of frustration, "I'm fully locked out of the sys6. Those shockwaves we felt are probably coming from the stations ."

"Diana,"muttered Jaha before he turned to Kane, "Marcus, I'll need you to get guards to go and do some reconnaissance and find Diana. Make sure the Guard is aware of who's responsible for this. Abby, we need you to go and help whoever is injured once Marcus is back. He'll protect you."

Marcus nodded and left the control centre with Abby. He took out his radio and adjusted it to the channel used by all of the Guard,"This is Marcus Kane, speaking. We have a rebellion on our hands. Guard key points and the control centre. Culprit is Diana Sydney. Anyone who allies with Diana is to be shot dead."

Abby flinched at the order, but she allowed herself to be guided to the nearest assembly hall by Kane. She knew that the Guard couldn't afford pull any punches if they wanted to stop Diana before she did anymore damage to the Ark.

Abby turned the last corner to her first stop and she was horrified by the sight that awaited her. The doors and walls of the meeting hall had been blown to shreds.

There were burn marks across the entire room and the sight became worse once she entered the room. There were no survivors at all. There were body parts strewn across the entirety of the hall and Abby was barely able to resist the urge to vomit.

Abby's grip on her emergency first aid kit tightened and she knew at a glance that there was nothing left to do. The quiet in the room was pierced by a barely audible moan. Instantly, Abby felt a burst of relief that there might be someone to help and she searched for the source of the noise.

It was not meant to be.

Her heart sank as she saw who it was and she felt her heart ache as behind her Kane rushed to his mother who was bleeding profusely from her wounds and laying on her side in a puddle of blood.

"Mother,"breathed Kane slowly as he ran to her side and held onto her hands,"You'll be okay. Abby will help you. Don't worry. We'll get down to the ground and you can plant the Last Tree like you always wanted. "

Marcus began to shake as his hands grew slick with the blood of his mother. His eyes began to tear up and he looked at Abby who still hadn't moved an inch,"Abby! Help her! What are you doing just standing there?"

Abby shook her head and said solemnly,"I'm sorry, Marcus. There's nothing I can do for her. She's lost too much blood."

Vera slowly pulled her hands from her son's grip and slowly wiped the tears streaking down his face before holding onto his face,"Marcus, it's alright. My time is over. Please promise that you'll plant the Last Tree when you get to Earth."

"I promise, Mom,"said Kane slowly even as he felt his mother's grip begin to loosen,"I love you so much, Mom."

"I love you too, son,"said Vera as tears began to gather in her eyes,"I know you never liked it, but please say the Blessing for me."

Marcus began to shudder and he delicately positioned his mother onto her back before once again grabbing onto her hands and he began to speak softly, "In peace may you leave this shore. In love may you find the next. S-safe passage on your travels, until our final journey to the ground."

Vera smiled tightly despite the pain she was in and said,"May we meet again."

Vera's eyes closed and her chest stopped rising slowly. Kane pressed his head to his mother's chest and let the tears that had been gathering in his eyes fall.

"May we meet again."

Kane rose to his feet and he accepted the hug he found himself enveloped in courtesy of Abby. They stood for only a few moments before Kane took a step back.

"Let's go Abby,"said Kane,"Diana's killed over 500 people in this station alone. We still have many more to go."

Abby blinked away the tears in her eyes and followed Kane as they proceeded towards where they knew the next meeting hall was. Diana had probably tried to kill as many as she could across the meeting halls and she knew that now wasn't the time for sentimentality.

The Station Hall Diana had hit was the most populous on the Ark and Abby could only hope that the smaller halls had survivors on them.

A spray of gunfire erupted nearby and Kane pulled Abby behind him as he took out his pistol and aimed forward.

There was silence for a few moments before they heard something that was most certainly out of place.

Rushing water.

Instantly, a literal wave rounded the corner and before Abby and Kane knew it they were swept up by the wave. The grip that Kane had had on Abby's arm was broken and Abby felt a rush of panic as she was slammed into various objects at high speeds. She could barely see anything and she wasn't even sure which way was up.

The need to breathe became near unbearable and Abby knew it was only a matter of time before her lungs would forcibly inhale and take water into her lungs before drowning to death.

Luckily, the wave seemed to have lost it's momentum and Abby was slammed into a wall at the end of a corridor. She took in deep breaths and felt the knot in her chest dissipate slowly as she took in more oxygen.

She heard footsteps approaching and Abby dared to open her eyes, but she felt the panic within her burn anew at the sight of the source of the sound.

"You know on Earth they called that a tsunami, but those were a lot larger than what I made. I bet you didn't expect to almost die of drowning on the Ark though,"said Diana as she sauntered up to Abby who was still sprawled against the wall.

Abby waited for Diana to approach and crouch down near her before she struck. Abby felt adrenaline pump through her veins as she reached for the neck of Diana and prepared to choke her out.

It was all for naught however as Diana casually caught Abby's arms and began to squeeze. Abby let out a low groan of pain as she felt the bones in her wrists began to creak from the pressure they were under.

"I wouldn't try that again,"said Diana coldly as her eyes seemed to pierce Abby's soul,"You just might die this time."

Abby dug deep for the courage she'd need for this and spat directly into Diana's face,"Just kill me already. "

Slowly, a predatory grin grew on Diana's face,"Now why would I do that?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kane rose to his feet slowly and he ignored the protests of his aching body. His gun and radio were miraculously intact though he knew the gun was useless.

Kane began to wander the hallways of the Ark in search of Abby. He knew that Abby and him must have been watched by Diana and her cohorts and they must have waited for the opportune moment to separate the two of them knowing that Kane would probably be suitably distracted after witnessing his mother's death.

The second meeting hall was nearby and Kane steeled himself for anything which is why he was surprised to find it in far better condition than the previous station. There were wails of pain from various wounded, but they were already being helped by the many citizens of the Ark that were well versed in first aid and medicine.

Two down, eight to go.

It was almost as if the first meeting hall had been hit harder on purpose due to its' proximity to the control centre and this idea was further cemented in Kane's head as he proceeded through all the meeting halls.

There was next to no sound as Kane began to approach the priority centres such as Medical, the Keep, the Weapons Cache and the Hydroponic Farm. They were all clustered together in case of a riot as there were able to be shut off from the control centre which in itself was probably one of the most secure places on the Ark.

Gunfire.

Kane went through an automatic door and he nearly tripped over the body of a dead Guard. It was Scanlan. A trustworthy guard , but that was neither here nor there.

Scanlan's rifle was still on the floor and Kane picked it up. Luckily, the clip was full and Kane began to proceed towards the gunfire with his rifle at the ready. He rounded the corner and prepared to shoot, but he held his fire as he locked onto the form of Major Byrnes.

"Sir,"said Major Byrnes in greeting before speaking,"The rebels are not seeking to gain control of any of the priority areas thus far. We've got them in full retreat."

Kane's brow furrowed as questions popped into his mind and he voiced the first one,"How do we know who they are?"

"They all have a blue handkerchief tied around their shoulder,"said Byrnes as she and Kane began to get close enough to the gunfire that they could hear bullets ricochet off the metal surfaces of the Ark.

That settled Kane for a while and indeed once he reached one of the hotspots of contact, he snipped and shot down all those with the blue cloths on their sleeves.

Eventually, the halls surrounding the Hydroponic farm, Weapons Cache and The Keep were all clear. In fact, the last remaining areas were all low-priority such as–

"The Exodus ship,"breathed Kane asthe guards surrounding him looked to him in astonishment, "They weren't retreating. They were occupying us long enough to prep the Exodus ship! "

Kane began to run down the halls to the Exodus ship where he knew where Diana and Abby were bound to be. He only hoped he made it there fast enough.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Are you synched up yet, Michael?"said Diana as she and roughly 100 other people sat in the massive Exodus ship.

"Almost,"said Shumway with clear strain in his voice. If one were to look closely his eyes had turned black with bars of green flickering on and off intermittently.

Diana sighed heavily as she knew it wouldn't take long for the Guard to wise up and stop her. Originally, Diana had planned to vacate the Ark with over 400 of her people, but the unexpected actions of Jaha and then Clarke radioing in forced her to enact her Plan B.

It had been going good so far. She had organised for some supplies and weapons to be moved onto the Exodus during Jaha's speech. The plan also needed a massive distraction hence the many bombs littered across the meeting halls.

The first meeting hall had been hit the hardest if only because it had been where Diana had though Thelonious to make his speeches as he had done in similar situations in the past.

In the end, Jaha had through sheer luck ended up using the control centre and was probably nice and safe in there right now.

Diana had hoped that there would have been more casualties amongst the Guard using the bombs. They had been disguised in bags, trolleys and whatever else her men could have scrounged together once they had heard about the mass assembly.

She did not have as strong a foothold amongst the Guard as she would have liked and she'd hoped enough of her men would have survived against Kane's side to pose a threat against whoever awaited them on the ground.

The 100 were likely aware of her status as a rebel if Abby had indeed spoken to Raven. Diana wasn't sure how many of the delinquents had powers, but she was not going to pull any punched if push came to shove. Especially when it came to Clarke.

The girl probably had no idea just how much power she had at her fingertips and truthfully it was pathetic. Diana had felt pure anger course through her when she'd learnt Clarke had been given the Novus injection. It was her blood right and it had been taken from her.

Diana turned to Abby and said,"If it's any consolation for you when I kill Clarke it'll be quick."

Abby growled around the rag in her mouth and if her wrists hadn't been bound she would have probably tried to strangle Diana.

"I mean first, I'd need to cut her open and see how the Novus changed her body and if it's effects are duplicable or if some form of the serum can be extracted. I imagine it would take some weeks of cutting her open and bleeding her dry before we'd get it right. "

Abby lunged forward in a headbutt, but she began to panic as she felt a strong grip around her neck. Diana lifted her easily with one hand and above the other hand Abby was horrified to see a sharp shard of water form that rapidly froze into ice.

The makeshift knife dropped into Diana's hand and she pressed it into the crook of Abby's thigh,"Tell me doc. How long exactly would it take to bleed out from a stab to the femoral artery? Maybe thirty or forty seconds?"

Abby began to shiver from both the cold knife pressed to her leg and the cold gaze from Diana. Despite herself, Abby sagged in relief when Diana let her drop to the floor.

"You know Abby,"began Diana idly as if she hadn't tried to kill Abby multiple times already, "It didn't have to be like this. I really wanted you to be on my side. It would have made it a lot easier to control Clarke that way. Unfortunately, you sided with Marcus and Jaha of all people. I must say I didn't think you had forgiven Thelonious for killing Jake and essentially forcing you to inject your daughter with some barbaric invention all before shunting her down to Earth."

Abby fought to look away from Diana's mocking gaze and tried to ignore the teasing lilt in her voice to no avail.

"I've never had a child of my own, but even I would have never done that. I know you had read some of the notes on them. You knew there was a good chance of Clarke's body shutting down and rejecting the serum and yet you gave it to her anyways. I'm sure Jake would have loved to hear that."

Diana removed the gag stuck in Abby's mouth gently and undid the bindings on Abby's wrists and said,"You know it's not too late. We could both go down and you'd get to see your daughter again and I'd keep her safe so long as she follows my every order. If she does that then I doubt I'd even need to cut her open. It's the pragmatic approach after all. Why should I dirty my hands when I could get someone else to do my dirty work for me?"

Abby paused for a few seconds before saying softly, "Clarke is strong. If there's anyone in this universe who could have survived that serum it's her and there's no one else I'd trust more to have it. I don't know if Jake and Clarke hate me for all that I've done, but as long as Clarke lives then I can bear that burden."

Abby turned to Diana and this time Diana flinched from the sheer determination in Abby's eyes,"What I can't do however is to align with someone as cruel and evil as you no matter what you may offer me. So can we get this over with."

To Diana's surprise, Abby lifted her head exposing her neck and said,"The carotid works just as well the femoral artery by the way in case you were wondering. "

Diana paused and scanned the eyes of the various people in the dropship. Shumway still appeared to be busy trying to sync with the Ark and the rest of her people were watching the interaction closely.

Diana ruled her people with the right amounts of charisma and fear. She knew that any signs of weakness would plant a seed of doubt in their minds and that would come to bite her in the ass be it now or months from now.

That was unacceptable.

Diana wasn't actually afraid of them. She still hadn't given anyone else other than Shumway and Abby a Duos injection. She still had them in Darah's suitcase and she was only going to inject them once on Earth. Regardless, she needed to show them how ruthless she was to prevent them from even thinking of rebelling.

Diana tightened her grip on the ice knife she had made and stepped up to Abby,"If this is how you want to go out then so be it."

She raised the knife to Abby's neck directly over the carotid, but to her consternation she was interrupted by Shumway,"Ma'am, we have incoming. Marcus and a few squadrons of the Guard. They'll be here within a minute. The preparations aren't ready yet. I need five more minutes to safely decouple from the Ark."

Diana sighed before she said,"You'll get your five minutes. "

She looked to one of the Guards loyal to her and said,"Trent, let's go you'll trail with Abby. Gag and bind her. "

The man in question nodded before Diana spoke again,"Listen here. In five minutes we'll be going down to Earth. It's been a long road, but we're nearly done. We have enough supplies to last us months and enough weapons that no one would even think of attacking us. We have some of the best engineers, doctors and farmers with us as well and like I promised you before we will finally live a life worth living."

The 30 people in the room cheered and Diana smiled as while she walked everyone –even the 4 council members including ex-councillor Fuji– in the room bowed towards her while raising their right arm aloft. The golden bandannas tied around their wrists fluttered slowly.

"Chancellor Sydney, "said Trent,"On behalf of everyone I pledge our loyalty to you. We are yours to command from now and forever."

Diana's smiled stretched across her face and she said,"Thank you, Trent. I think it's time I do something however. You've all done enough."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kane was horror-struck at the sight before many members of the Guard were all dead from bullet wounds to various parts of the body or appeared to be unconscious. It was perhaps more chilling to note that they had blue cloths tied around their arms.

Kane couldn't help, but count the amount of traitors he had in his ranks and it needed him to note that roughly 40% of the Guard had not been loyal.

The thing that confused him, however, was how a great deal of them seemed to have been shot in the back as if from allies and an insidious thought manifested in Kane's mind.

These Guards were simply a distraction and stalling technique. It seemed that Diana had given orders to kill her own men. The disgust in Kane's mind could not be greater.

The blue cloths had not only identified as them traitors to the Ark, but also as targets to be eliminated by their fellow 'allies '.

Kane paused as he came to the last corridor before reaching the Exodus ship. There were various side branches that snake off the corridor before one reached the automatic door to the Exodus ship.

The ship was actually designed to hold well over 700 people, but he doubted Diana had allowed even a quarter of that on the ship.

"Harvey, take your squad and sweep out the corridor,"said Kane as he motioned for the man to step through with his men.

Kane trailed behind the men and they swiftly cleared out each side corridor. They were 10 of them that had made it here with Marcus. The rest had been dispatched to check on the status of the Chancellor and help out at the meeting halls since members of the Guard were required to be able to give rudimentary first aid.

It also helped that the Guards with Kane now were his most trusted subordinates.

Kane was at the middle of the formation when he heard the automatic doors open. Oddly, there was no one that had stepped through and Harvey rushed ahead to investigate.

The Guard stepped through and Kane watched horrified as Harvey's chest was pierced by a spear made of ice. The man let out a gurgle of pain before collapsing to the ground.

"Diana is nearby,"said Kane slowly, "You've been briefed that she's capable of controlling water so be on guard. Form defense formation C."

The sound of rushing water reached Kane's ears and he recognised for what it was on time.

"To the corridors! Now! "said Kane as he ran hard to one of the side corridors as the telltale wave came from behind. The wave neatly swept Kane away again, but he had made it just in time to dive into one of the side corridors.

He and two others had made it to the side corridor and they watched horrified as the wave barrelled past for over three minutes. Eventually, the rush if water stopped and Kane and his men stepped cautiously into the main corridor.

The sight that greeted him was not what he expected.

Diana was standing reading a book and to his horror Abby was on her knees bound and gagged while another guard –Trent Kane's memory served him well –held a rifle to her head.

"Hello Marcus. Nice of you to join us,"said Diana as she continued to read the book in her hands.

Kane levelled his rifle at Diana, but froze when Trent brought the rifle closer to Abby's head.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you Marcus,"said Diana as she finally closed her book,"Unless you want Abby over here to die. "

Kane sighed as he signalled for his men to drop their weapons and Diana smiled,"That's better. You know, Marcus, do you know why you've never been Chancellor? You can't make the tough calls. I mean sure you advocated for the Culling, but that didn't affect you at all really and you still felt guilty about it. A leader needs to be able to make the toughest of calls despite the personal cost. Killing me would have derailed this rebellion and yet you chose to keep Abby alive for what reason? A misguided sense of camaraderie? That's why I did this. You and I both know the Exodus ship can't fit us all so I had to do something to book me and my men a spot on it."

One of the guards behind Kane had bristled in anger as he listened to Diana's monologue. Unseen by Kane, he raised his rifle and took aim at Diana.

He never stood a chance.

A flourish of Diana's hand and the water that had been pooling across the corridor up in thick tendrils and before long all three-including Kane- were tied up tightly.

"Leave Abby here,"said Diana as she walked up to Trent and unclipped something from his utility belt.

The woman in question was pushed forward and she landed with a splash into the water on the ground.

"If it's any consolation, "said Diana as she twirled the shock baton,"I'll tell your daughter you died a hero."

Diana tested the shock baton and she was pleasantly surprised as it let loose a violent burst of electricity.

"She'll be so useful for my plans,"stated Diana as she held her Centum book in her other hand,"This book has been in my family for generations now and to be honest I never expected that I would be the one to use it's knowledge. "

Abby's face scrunched up in confusion before the realisation hit her and Diana smiled at her reaction,"I see you figured it out. You see these are the real notes Darah herself had made about the Novus series and the rebels in all their foolishness never found it odd that they'd found so little on the Novus and yet they were still willing to use it on Clarke. Typical."

Diana raised the shock baton and again it sparkled with a large amount of electricity before she said,"I would say may we meet again, but I don't want the last words to hear to be a lie."

Diana thrust the baton into the water and Kane screamed out in sheer pain as electricity coursed it's way through his body before he collapsed facedown.

The last thing he heard was the footsteps of Diana walking away before all he knew was darkness.

"Anything so far, Raven?"said Octavia as she paced around the top level of the dropship. Everyone had vacated the room except for Octavia and Raven.

Clarke was supposed to be relaxing, but after the radio had gone dead despite many protestations from everyone she was still up and going on some rounds with the others.

"No,"said Raven frustratedly before dropping the tool in her hand,"It's fucking hopeless. Whatever went down up there completely fucked up the comms. They can't hear us and we definitely can't hear them."

Octavia blew out a strand of hair from in front of her face. She was feeling rather antsy and upset especially at Bellamy who still hadn't returned. The news that Bellamy trashing Raven's radio had resulted in an entire Section being killed disgusted her.

Granted, he hadn't known that the council would take such drastic measures to preserve the resources on the Ark and yet it was proven to be all for nothing if the extended silence on the Ark was anything to go by.

Octavia didn't owe the Ark anything. In fact, she had been screwed over by the Ark at every turn. However, even she was horrified by these turn of events. The fact that for all her newfound power she couldn't help them out irritated her.

"I thought so," said Octavia before she sighed,"You know, I feel like the powers I have are wasted on me. I got captured by the Grounders without putting up much of a fight and now there's probably so many people dying up there and who knows if someone else had taken –"

Octavia was cut off by a slap from Raven. Raven stood up and essentially towered over Octavia despite their similar heights.

"Listen Octavia, "said Raven as she looked into the younger girl's eyes, "None of us were prepared for this shit. I don't think anyone on this camp expects you to be some invincible, unstoppable force of nature. That's my job."

Octavia smiled at the joke and continued to listen to the mechanic,"None of us even thought for a second that there was a way for our powers to get suppressed. Now that we know that they actually can be taken away we'll do better next time and that's if we even have to fight again at all. I'm sure that between Clarke and this Grounder leader they can hash out a truce or something between the two of them."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just when I got captured. Finn, Bellamy and Clarke all came charging after me,"said Octavia in a lighter tone of voice,"I understand that my powers make me pretty useful in a fight , but what if you guys had been attacked while they were out. It would have been a massacre. I just don't see why they'd risk that for me."

"Octavia, "said Raven sternly as she sensed the plummeting of the younger girl's mood,"You are important. You may not see your value, but the rest of us do. Bellamy may be a colossal asshole, but if there's one thing he's got right it's that family sticks together. Clarke may have only known you personally since you've landed, but don't you think that you're not important to her either. I can tell that she really cares about you and I guess it's hard to believe that other people would go so far out of their way for you, but believe me there are people that are just that great."

Raven had begun to toy with the metal raven necklace that Finn had given and Octavia took quick notice of this,"I'm guessing you're talking about Finn? You must really care about him to come all the way down to Earth in a trashy escape pod."

Raven smiled and said,"He was there for me when I had no one else. My mom gave literally zero shots whether I starved or not so long as she could trade my rations for booze then she was happy. Finn snuck me some of his own rations and that's something I'll always love him for."

Raven pulled Octavia into a hug and said,"It's okay to lean on other people sometimes, you know? Even the strongest of people need a helping hand sometimes."

Octavia was surprised by the embrace, but she just let herself get enveloped in it. Silent tears fell from her eyes as she pondered Raven's words and for the first time Octavia realised that albeit in odd conditions she had finally gotten the opportunity to make some friends and finally be someone more than the girl that hid under the floor.

"Okay, as nice as this is, I can't let any rumours spread about me being soft. I'm pretty sure Jasper is scared of me and I want to milk that for as long as I can,"said Raven and she smiled when it drew a laugh from Octavia.

"Fine,"said Octavia begrudgingly and she stepped back.

The two girls made their way downstairs and made their way towards Octavia's tent. It was only once the got there that Raven realised something crucial.

"Oh for fucks sake,"cursed Raven as she took in the sight of Octavia's bedding and pillows,"I don't have a fucking tent."

"Why don't you just go sleep in Finn's tent?"said Octavia tiredly as she allowed herself to finally be consumed by the exhaustion she felt.

"That's the smartest thing I've heard come from a Blake since I've been here...Are you sure you and Bellamy are related"said Raven before she had to dodge Octavia's shoe and she laughed and made her way back into the camp.

Sunset was rapidly approaching and Finn and Bellamy must surely be on their way back by now. Raven reached Finn's tent and she saw his bed was a little messy, but she didn't mind much and she laid down on it.

She struggled to find a comfortable position and she felt something digging into her side so she reached underneath herself and pulled it out, but she was incensed to find a bra dangling from her fingers.

As if to mock her further Finn walked into the tent and he was shocked to see Raven lying on his bed.

"Raven, I–"began Finn, but he was cut off as Raven threw the garment at his face.

"Save it for someone who cares,"said Raven as she tried to brush past him, but Finn grabbed onto her arm to stop her.

Raven felt tears build in her eyes, but she blinked them away and she asked coolly, "Whose are those?"

Finn sighed and with a defeated expression said,"They're Fox's, but she didn't even know about you. It happened the night before you landed and I mean Monty had made a couple of alcoholic fruit and I swear it was a complete accident. I didn't even mean to. It meant nothing to me Rave, I swear."

Raven sneered and she ripped her arm from his grasp and said,"You know what, Finn? You can sleep with whoever you want, okay? We're done."

"Raven. Let's talk about this–"began Finn, but this time he was cut off by a punch from Raven that sent him stumbling into his tent and Finn even spat up blood and he also felt like a few teeth were loose.

"There's nothing to talk about Finn,"said Raven as she stepped out,"Go fuck your me girl or whatever. Just leave me alone."

Raven walked briskly out of the tent a.d into the surrounding woods before she felt she had put enough distance between her and camp. Her emotions were running high and Raven felt the wind around her begin to pick up speed. Loud, crashing noises echoed out and Raven was in the eye of a storm as a miniature hurricane formed around her and uprooted several trees and sent them flying.

This wasn't enough for Raven and she felt her body move on it's own accord as her hands took aim at one of the last remaining trees. Twin beams of green light shot out her hands and cut through the thick tree like a hot knife through butter.

The smell of burnt wood reached her nose and Raven barely cared as she prepared to fire more beams of light, but she was surprised to feel two hands grip her wrists from behind before pulling upwards and aiming them to the sky.

The beams of light shot up into the sky for a few seconds before they sputtered out and faded away.

"I leave for a few hours and now you're trying to start a fire,"said Clarke as she let go of stepped around Raven before she noticed the look on Raven's face,"What's wrong?"

Raven shook her head and tried to change the topic, "Its nothing. How did you find me?"

Clarke raised an eyebrow and said,"Well, a hurricane big or small tends to draw attention so I thought I'd check out what was going on. Don't say it's nothing Raven. I'm here for you."

Clarke sighed at Raven's silence before she was suddenly pulled into a hug. Clarke was frozen for a bit before she returned the motion. It was a side of Raven that Clarke didn't expect to see especially from someone who Clarke could tell was resilient and tough.

It was only once Raven spoke with clear anger and sadness and shock about Finn and Fox that Clarke was able to understand more of what was going on. The fact that Finn cheated on Raven while she was risking her life to come down to Earth to save Finn disgusted Clarke and dropped him a few pegs in her books.

She comforted Raven as she hummed a comforting tune and they ignored the early evening chill that had settled into the air. The two remained close like that in silence save for Raven's sobs for a while before Raven pulled back.

"Thanks Clarke,"said Raven calmly as she finally gained control over her voice,"I needed that."

"That's what friends are for, right?" said Clarke as she still held onto Raven.

The two eventually stood and began to make their way to camp in silence. The first few stars had begun to appear and Raven ,not for the first time that day, felt extremely tired. The only problem (and a major one at that) was that she still had nowhere to sleep.

Clarke noticed Raven shivering and said,"You can stay in my tent. I got given all these extra blankets and pillows and all that since I fought the Grounders off and saved Roma's life so it was apparently fair to everyone else that I got the extra stuff. It's way too much stuff though for just one person so we can make a bed for you and you get yourself warm before I get us something to eat."

Raven nodded and once they reached the gates of camp, Clarke made her way towards the fire where Bellamy was in charge of distributing the meat that had been cured.

"Clarke,"said Raven suddenly as the girl in question stopped,"You're a good person, you know. Don't forget that."

Clarke smiled at Raven before she said,"Thank you, Raven. You should probably head inside now. That tank top isn't helping you keep warm at all."

Raven was about to respond before something in the sky drew her attention. A large object was streaking down towards the ground and Raven raised a brow as she said,"That's from the Ark...its the Exodus ship!"

The ship was going down fast though and the panic in Clarke's voice rose as she said,"The retrorockets haven't gone off...it's going to crash."

However, to everyone's relief the rockets activated at last and it landed safely yet rather heavily in the distance. Raven and Clarke looked at each other before as one they both ran to the dropship.

They climbed up the ladder and immediately Raven began to fiddle with the radio.

"There are specific frequencies that all Ark stations and pods are tuned into. Its usually to allow for localised announcements, but I'm pretty sure the Exodus ship was also able to listen in on these frequencies. In case of a lockdown or something the Exodus ship was actually one of the places the Chancellor would retreat to if the control centre ever fell. The last one actually...I guess the next step if the ship was in danger of being breached would be to go towards Earth."

The radio let out spinds of static as Raven kept changing the channel before there was clear silence on one of the channels.

"Exodus ship. Exodus ship. This is Raven Reyes, do you copy?"said Raven as she waited for a reply.

There was no reply for sometime before suddenly a woman's voice spoke,"You must be Abby's pet. I shouldn't be surprised you got a hold of me this quickly, but that's not important. I'm sure Clarke is with you. Tell her to come to the Exodus ship tomorrow. She can bring whoever she wants. It doesn't matter...I have a...proposition...for her."

"What the hell do you want?"said Ckarke as she spoke into the radio radiating anger and distaste.

Diana chuckled and said,"Feisty...just like your mom was until she died. A real shame she rejected my offer, but well that's just life I suppose. Listen Clarke, this isn't a game you better come to the ship tomorrow and then we can have a proper chat. I must admit I prefer speaking face to face. I'm expecting you at noon. Enjoy your night."

The radio went silent and Raven turned it off before looking towards Clarke.

Clarke sighed and said, "I guess she actually won. I'll see what she wants tomorrow, but we need others to go out to that outpost and get the supplies in there. Then who knows when that meeting with Lincoln's leader will even be..."

Raven put her hand on Clarke's hand and said,"Hey, things will be fine. Besides, there's no way I'm letting you go to her without some backup."

"Damn straight, " said Octavia as she appeared from thin air. Raven pointed her hands at Octavia and was ready to blast her into the next dimension, but she stopped at the amused look on Octavia's face.

"You should really stop doing that,"said Raven with an annoyed look on her face,"Or I'll burn you to dust. "

Octavia looked ready to rise to the challenge, but she was interrupted by Clarke,"Now's not the time for that, guys. Okay, look I don't think Lincoln will be back for at least a day so we'll still have time to go to Diana and the weapons cache, but I think it would make more sense if we split up."

"Okay, but I'm definitely going with you to Diana, "said Raven as she made her way to the ladder,"I'll call all the other people with powers and hopefully you can sort yourself out. Now if you'll excuse me Clarke's bed is calling me."

Raven dropped down the ladder and left leaving a rather confused Octavia staring after her,"Isn't she sleeping in Finn's tent?"

Clarke sighed at the reminder and said,"No, they broke up. Finn was cheating on her with Fox. She found Fox's bra in Finn's bed and she went out to the woods to vent."

"So I'm guessing those trees crashing was what woke me up?"said Octavia before sighing,"That's messed up. Who knew Spacewalker was such a douche? "

"Yeah," agreed Clarke, "Raven's strong though. She'll be alright. Anyways, since Raven's coming with me tomorrow I can't have Finn with me."

"Fair enough, Raven would probably kill him and make sure we can't find the body too. Can't say I'd blame...Are you gonna send him to the weapons cache then?"

"I don't think he should go,"said Clarke as she remembered the looks and snide comments Finn had made while they were going to rescue Octavia.

He clearly had something against her and Bellamy and it probably had to do with the fact that they had killed the Grounders so ruthlessly. Finn was peaceful by nature so sending him to go to a weapons cache in hostile territory and risk the chance of him zoning out in a fight again was probably not the best of ideas.

"He'll stay here,"said Clarke finally. It was probably best to keep him out of the line of fire.

"Who'll stay here?"said Bellamy as he climbed up the ladder. Octavia sighed at the sight over brother and said,"I'll see you around, Clarke. I'm feeling a little tired."

Bellamy looked at Octavia oddly as she left without even a glance at him and closed the hatch.

"I'm guessing she knows about the Culling?"questioned Bellamy with a distraught look on his face.

"Yeah, I think Raven told her,"said Clarke in as sympathetic a voice as she could. She knew Bellamy didn't intend for that many people to get killed and it probably weighed heavily on his shoulders that he was responsible for so much pain.

"Look Bellamy. What you did was stupid and wrong and selfish, but there's nothing you can do that can change that. The only thing you can do is try to be better than you were the day before. That's what we're all trying to do."

Clarke knew she was right, but it wasn't exactly easy to apply what she had just said. The Grounders she had killed still haunted her at times, but the delinquents couldn't afford to be weak. The status of the Ark was unknown and the peace talks with the Grounders might go badly and that's not even accounting for Diana in the mix.

The next few days were probably going to be pure chaos.

"You're right," said Bellamy as he straightened up,"We need to figure out what to do. The weapons cache isn't too far so I'll lead a team and we'll bring whatever we find back. Also, Raven told me about that Diana lady. There's no ways you're going there without enough protection."

"Bellamy, "said Clarke in an annoyed tone,"I don't need coddling. Between me, Raven and O we should be enough to handle most things. "

"You're right, but we can't afford to take any chances. Me and Roma will come too. I'm sure there's enough guns at the cache to arm everyone so even though most people haven't activated their powers they'll still be safe."

Clarke had to admit that it made sense. The number of the delinquents that had activated their powers was frustratingly low. Clarke, Bellamy, Octavia, Jasper, Roma and Raven were the only ones who had serious firepower and a decent handle on their powers.

Finn's power was mostly good for defense. Monty was actually essential despite being a non combatant so risking his life was extremely stupid. Miller had shown the ability to cover himself in metal, but it seemed as though he couldn't quite control it yet as he struggled to make the armour even go past his arms and legs.

The problem was that Jaha had said that only a couple more would actually activate powers due to the genetic editing after the Blight, but that didn't explain how some of them like Octavia and Raven displayed two abilities instead of one.

In fact, it would stand to reason that Bellamy had powers dormant too if his sister also had multiple. Clarke suspected it had something to do with the initial distribution of the Primus and Duos series, but they wouldn't be able to figure that out just as of yet.

A wave of nausea suddenly came over Clarke as she sat down and clutched her head. Bellamy rushed to her side and said,"Hey, are you okay? I got told Mbege attacked you earlier and you still haven't gotten any rest. You're not going to faint on me, right? I'll leave you right here if you do."

The nausea passed and Clarke shook her head and said,"Speaking of Mbege. It was weird I turned my back on him and I heard Roma shout my name, but...its weird it was like my body knew I was in trouble before my mind did and the next thing I know I'm catching a thrown knife out the air. I only realised he had attacked me after I caught it. I'm pretty sure it's a new power."

Bellamy was silent as he pondered what he heard and he said,"So it's like your body can now automatically detect and avoid danger that you don't know is coming?"

"I think so,"said Clarke before she got an idea and pulled out her knife and she handed it to Bellamy, "I know this sounds crazy, but stab me. "

"Are you sure?"questioned Bellamy as he adjusted his grip on the knife.

Clarke nodded curtly and she watched as Bellamy brought the blade up and stabbed downwards. The blade approached Clarke's midsection, but just before it could make contact Clarke grabbed onto Bellamy's wrist and arrested it's motion.

"That was me,"said Clarke as she let go of Bellamy's wrist,"I stopped it on my own. Now let's step things up."

Bellamy was about to object, but he was silenced as Clarke turned around and with her back towards Bellamy said,"Throw that at me."

"I'm sorry what?" said Bellamy incredulously as he processed her words.

"Trust me. If worst comes to worst I can heal myself,"said Clarke as she closed her eyes and waited for Bellamy to throw the knife.

A heavy sigh escaped Bellamy's lips before he stood and prepared to throw it. The silence in the room was absolute and after another 30 seconds of inactivity Clarke was about to tell Bellamy to hurry up before it happened.

*!*

The somewhat familiar feeling of her body taking charge washed over Clarke and she felt her body turn and snatch the knife out the air deftly.

"Okay,"said Clarke in equal parts amazement and relief, "It seems like it only works for things that I don't know are coming judging from what we know."

Bellamy was shocked at the sight before him and he shook his head and said,"Yeah, I guess so. Any other cool and amazing powers you've got hidden?"

Clarke smiled at Bellamy before she spoke,"Well I can move stuff with that blue energy and also shoot blasts with them—"

Bellamy interrupted Clarke and said,"That's psionic powers. "

"What? How do you know that?"said Clarke in confusion.

"I used to do a lot of reading as a kid and while Octavia and I both enjoyed ancient mythology, I really got into comic books when I was 9 . I read almost every copy of whatever there was on the Ark using my mom's tablet and superhero stuff was in there too."

"Wow, "said Clarke as she imagined the sight, "Bellamy Blake, Comic book addict. Who would have thought ?"

Bellamy looked embarrassed and so Clarke decided to let up on the teasing,"Anyways, other than my psionic powers. I have this automatic self-preservation thing–let's call it Instinct for short. I can control and create fire, earth, lightning and also air and water, but I haven't really had the time to use them. Finally, I also have the healing, but that I – nevermind."

Bellamy was impressed by the amount of what Clarke had mentioned, but he was confused about the jumpiness she was showing after mentioning the healing.

It hit as he said,"You're forgetting that you can steal people's powers. You could steal anyone's powers if you wanted to."

Clarke nodded and said, "Yeah, I know. It's just a lot of responsibility. The funny thing is even if I wanted to I couldn't do it again."

"What are you talking about?"

"When I stole that Grounder's power,"said Clarke slowly as she remembered the day, "It was like I took a backseat in my own body. It was different from Instinct. It felt less...natural and no matter what I know I can't do it on my own again."

Clarke didn't tell Bellamy about the voice she had heard in the back of her mind though. The story sounded crazy enough without adding that into the mix.

"That's strange, "said Bellamy before continuing on to say,"I suppose that's a problem for another day. I'll head out to the cache with Jasper and a couple others at dawn. You're staying here. You need to rest up and stay here. The problem is I don't trust Mbege at all. He's already tried to kill you and if we leave him here who knows what he'll get up to?"

Clarke snorted and said," I wouldn't worry about Mbege. I'll give him and his goons a day to leave. I've been pushing it to the back of my mind, but there are way more than just a couple of people who seem jealous. "

It was something she had noted today especially as she noticed the sneers sent the way of her, Jasper and even Monty. This could be a bigger problem down the line, but for now they had bigger things to worry about.

Clarke stood up and it was only then she felt just how tired she was feeling. She stood up and began to blow out the candles that had been set up throughout the room.

"I'm going to bed,"said Clarke before letting out a yawn,"I've done my rounds for the day. Is there still some food out?"

"Yeah, Raven got you some,"said Bellamy as he followed Clarke out of the dropship.

The two made their way to the tents and eventually Clarke was left to her devices after Bellamy reached his tent. Clarke made her way into her tent and she was surprised to see Raven had already set up her bed and she seemed to be completely out of it.

There was food waiting for her and Clarke smiled at Raven before eating the meat and fruit waiting for her.

It only took her a few minutes and it was with some reluctance that Clarke climbed into her bed.

Clarke sighed as she got comfortable and tried to sleep. Clarke eventually fell into an uneasy rest accompanied by slight twitches and mumbles.

Eventually, Clarke bolted upright and she quickly rose out of her sleeping bag and dug into a small pouch. She pulled out a cherry and quickly ate it.

Clarke went to bed and quickly fell asleep.

She did not see Raven staring at her from her own sleeping bag.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Okay,"said Octavia as she trailed after the group of four in front of her,"What's the plan again?"

Raven pinched her nose and said,"Okay, let's go over this again. Octavia, you're going to go invisible and stay hidden. You'll snipe anyone and just be a distraction. Roma will basically be the one to cause the distraction if things go badly and she'll scream as loud as she can. Lucky for us, she can direct the sound waves away from us for the most part so it'll sting, but we'll be better off than the poor chumps in her way."

"What about you, Bell and Clarke again?"said Octavia as she decided to actually try and remember the plan this time around.

"Simple. We're the heavy hitters, though I can't really use my laser beams and Clarke can't use her fire since I'm pretty sure they had a heavy landing and–"

"The hydrazine!"shouted Octavia excitedly as she recalled one of the key parts of the plan,"Everything will go to shit and we'll only do that if we really screwed the pooch and either you or Clarke will have to blow everything sky high!"

Clarke smiled at Octavia's exuberance and she said,"That's almost right, but we don't want that. That's only if we're severely outgunned and I know I can run fast, but if any of us are too close to the explosion I'm not sure how fast I can get us out of there. "

It was a rudimentary plan at best, but considering the fact that Diana and her rebels were probably hostile it was better than walking in there without a plan.

The raid on the weapons cache had been extremely successful. There had literally been barrels of rifles, bullets and winter blankets. Miller had been put in charge of dispensing the blankets and setting up a guard for the guns.

They hadn't brought any guns since there was always a chance that a bullet that could ignite the hydrazine which was what they were trying to prevent.

"So how do we know they won't try to kill us on sight?"said Bellamy as they approached the area where they believed the Exodus ship to have landed.

"We don't, " said Roma with a smile on her face.

"Amazing,"drawled Bellamy as he looked through the canopy of the forest.

It was after a few more minutes of walking that the trees around them began to fade and a pungent smell filled the air.

"That's hydrazine,"said Raven as she processed the smell,"We're close."

Octavia took the unspoken hint and immediately disappeared from sight. Luckily, the earth below them was firm so she didn't leave any depressions in the ground as she seemed to find an alternative route to the Exodus ship.

As the trees disappeared altogether after a few more minutes of walking and there was only large open land and perhaps half a mile away the Exodus ship sat crumpled like a giant, burnt and crushed soda can with give or take 10 men stationed on the outside of it all with their rifles at the ready all pointed at them.

Clarke walked to the front of the group and said,"They must have seen us coming. Ok guys, fighting isn't preferred. We'll try peaceful first. I'm sure there are some supplies in there we could use."

Bellamy snorted and said,"As long as they don't even think about coming to our camp or that they're the boss of us then it should be fine."

The group eventually reached the nearest guard to them and Clarke said,"We're here to see Diana. My name is Clarke Griffin."

There was silence and no one moved so Raven spoke up,"Aren't one of you idiots going to get her?"

Apparently, that was the wrong thing to say. The guards all took a step forward and prepared to fire.

The delinquents didn't take well to the threat and Clarke's eyes began to glow blue while the wind began to pick up speed and clouds gathered rapidly above them. The two groups were at a standoff with guns and palms pointed at each other before a voice shattered the tension.

"Well, I see you're enjoying my 7th great grandmother's invention,"said Diana as she took in the aggressive stances adopted by everyone.

"Now there's no need to be so violent, "said Diana as she raised her arm and dutifully her men lowered their rifles. She then pointed up to the sky and said, "I'm no expert, but I'm going to assume that one you is responsible for the storm clouds above us?"

Raven's eyes were a gleaming white, but at Clarke's nod they returned to their normal colour and the gloomy skies rapidly dissipated to reveal the sun once again.

"Now we're all grown here,"said Diana as she walked out the Exodus ship and stopped a few yards away from Clarke," I won't bore you with the details of my little rebellion on the Ark. However, I must say that unfortunately your mother was killed by Marcus before we could come down here."

Raven snorted and said,"Bullshit, Abby was working against you. She told me so before sending me down here."

"That's probably what she wanted you to think. If Abby really was working against me then why was I able to commandeer the Exodus ship? Surely the word of the honourable Abigail Griffin would be enough to get me floated if she even suspected something was wrong?"said Diana before looking at Clarke,"I'm sure that's something your father would agree with Clarke."

Clarke took a step forward and didn't flinch even as the guards all raised their guns towards her.

"Don't you dare speak about my father,"said Clarke tersely as she stared into Diana's blue eyes,"You're just someone who couldn't handle not being I power and would do anything to get even a sliver of it. I wonder how many people you killed and betrayed to land that ship. Raven over there told me that the Exodus ship decoupling was never meant to be a gentle process. You probably killed everyone on board the Ark. Why don't you just cut to the chase and tell me why you wanted to speak to me?"

Diana smirked and said,"Blunt. Just like your mother. Anyways, you are correct. The rebellion had not been nearly as successful as I had hoped. I only got about 30 of my men on the ship. We were getting overwhelmed and well I decided a smaller amount of my men on that ship would save us time to escape and also prolong how long we can use our supplies. Unfortunately, our landing was not ideal and some of us got killed during the entry into the atmosphere and our landing. "

"Get to the point, "said Clarke as she took in the predatory look on Diana's face and ignored the two guards that were getting a bit too close for comfort.

"You said you were meeting with one of the factions of the Grounders to Jaha,"

It was a statement not a question noted Clarke before Diana continued, "I doubt very many of the 100 have activated their powers and if you were to go to war with the Grounders–I imagine you'd be overwhelmed very soon."

Clarke processed the woman's words as she unknowingly hit the hammer on one of Clarke's fears. The Grounders were clearly all warrior tribes and battle was what they did. If you included the fact that they had a lot of experience with their powers on top of that it wasn't pretty.

"I can help you win any war you'd ever be in Clarke. This, "said Diana boldly as she pulled out a soft cover book of moderate thickness," This contains Darah Sydney's notes on every single version of the Darwin nanobots including your own Novus series. You don't understand the amount of power that's at your disposal Clarke. We would rule this world and finally live a life better than the horrid existence on the Ark. I'll give this to you, but all I want is your loyalty. We're all from the Ark. We've been dreaming all our lives to get back to Earth and it wouldn't do if our dreams were shattered by some savages. So, what say you Clarke?"

Clarke paused and she seriously considered Diana's offer despite the glare she could feel from her fellow delinquents. Even if they were vastly outnumbered by the Grounders, the weaponry they had retrieved from the cache was enough to outfit a small army. This too along with those in the 100 capable of mass destruction like herself and Raven were practically worth multiple soldiers in sheer destructive power alone.

That wasn't even combining whoever else in Diana's group had powers or weapons. It seemed like a good deal, but–

"I don't trust you,"said Clarke sharply, "You were to kill over 4000 people just for 30 of your men. You may have weapons, but we do too. You say the Grounders will kill us and you know what ? We'll be fine, it wouldn't be the first time we were supposed to die and it probably won't be the last. My father once told me it doesn't matter how or when someone dies simply how they lived."

The guards surrounding the delinquents were surprised when their rifles were covered in some strange blue energy and wrenched out their hands before they crumpled into little balls of metal.

"And I'd rather die before working with someone like you"spat Clarke before she turned and began to walk away.

It was only once Clarke passed Roma the smirk on Diana's face dropped. the sheer anger on Diana's face. Her cool facade was completely shattered and red began to bleed into her cheeks.

"Roma!"shouted Bellamy as he noted the hostile look in Diana's eyes and the girl nodded before taking a deep breath in. Luckily, Roma was at the front of her group and she let out what was an ear-splitting scream.

The sound waves generated by her scream were actually visible and four guards hadn't reacted quick enough and blood began to leak from their ears in copious amounts. Bellamy had focused on three of the guards and with a clenching of his fist their necks were snapped instantly and they dropped to the ground dead. Raven had also taken care of the guards near to her with a few quick laser blasts that she was careful to make sure were nowhere near touching the hydrazine.

Diana however had somehow generated a large wall of ice and although it was cracked heavily she proved to be fine as she dispelled the ice wall into water and said,"I see. A Duos level power. Did you know that sound with high power like yours tend to bounce off solid objects like metal or indeed ice. It's a shame that you only have such a basic power though. "

The 4 guards that were bleeding from their eats from Roma's assault were suddenly speared by ice spears after a lazy wave of Diana's hand.

"Of course, you had a plan of attack. This is why you send out the pawns first,"said Diana cryptically.

The others were confused by what that meant until a green laser similar to Jasper's own beam of energy went straight through Roma's chest directly over her heart. The beam had been so quick and sudden that Clarke was unable to get close enough to Roma.

Roma fell down and everyone knew instantly that she was dead. Clarke tracked the laser beam and she saw Shumway standing at the entrance of the dropship. It was seemingly Shumway that was the culprit as he still had his palm facing outwards.

Clarke felt anger boil through her entire being as she looked at the dead body of Roma. The girl who's life Clarke had saved and Clarke knew there was no saving Roma now for all her super speed and healing powers there was no cure for death. Roma the girl that had pined after Clarke. Roma the girl that Clarke had begun to like a lot more than she had expected.

A rush of information filled Clarke's head and this time in full control of her body she sped over to Shumway and held him up in the air. Her eyes closed instinctively and she felt the curious sensation of being able to pick at the very being of Shumway's being similar to when she had first stolen the Grounder's power.

This time however Clarke was able to understand more of what she was seeing. It was oddly fascinating to note that she was essentially able to scan and edit the entire makeup of Shumway's body. She found what she looking for however and again pulled on the strands of energy that she recognised as the powers that Shumway was in possession of.

He had fulfilled his potential and she could tell that the two powers he had was the limits of his body's capabilities. She erased the one that she recognised as the one that had killed Roma before stealing the other one. A rush of information came to her head as she suddenly became connected to the Exodus ship.

!*

She severed the connection between her and Shumway and she quickly grabbed his body before using it as a shield. She felt a lot of thuds impact into his body and she threw him aside as she noted the ice shafts buried deep into his back.

Clarke was dimly aware that only about 3 seconds had passed from the time she had first touched Shumway, but that wasn't what she cared about.

Instantly, Clarke had appeared by Diana's side and with a quick kick she had sent the women tumbling across the ground. Clarke didn't give Diana any respite and any time she rolled to a stop she would run to her and kick her away again before repeating the cycle. It was on the fifth cycle that Clarke stopped.

Blood was leaking copiously from Diana's mouth and her left ankle appeared bent out of shape as well as her right wrist. The woman laid helpless before Clarke and an inexplicable hunger filled Clarke.

She pressed down on the woman's head gently and Clarke was filled with information about the injuries that her prey had sustained from the scratches on her back to the bruised and battered organs in her abdomen. Clarke ignored this information and found what she was looking for.

This woman was more impressive than that pathetic man earlier. She had the ability to control water and also had the ability to control ice. However, this woman had the potential to activate 1 more power. Clarke couldn't quite tell what it was only that it was lying dormant.

It was then that Clarke knew how to punish this lady. She had no use for the water ability and so she erased it. The ice ability was stripped and Clarke felt her hunger lift slightly.

Clarke did what she was sure would hurt this woman more than anything. She activated and then stole the dormant power. She was amazed as she processed the new power and from the shaking below it appeared that her prey had realised what it was that had been taken from her. The deep seated hunger Clarke felt was now completely gone and now only the need for vengeance remained.

Clarke reduced the chance of her manifesting any powers even if she took a other injection to exactly zero. The scream that the woman let out was music to Clarke's ears.The screams rose in pitch and intesity before they turned into hoarse groans.

"Clarke?"said a somewhat familiar voice.

Clarke's eyes snapped open and she was overcome by a sudden sense of disgust and vertigo as she snapped out of the haze she was in. She turned to the source of the voice and she was surprised to see a brown haired girl –Octavia –standing before her. The girl looked horrified as she took in the bloody and battered form of Diana.

It was only then that Clarke realised she had kicked Diana well over six hundred metres away from the Exodus ship in total and in her fervent anger, she hadn't even noticed Octavia approach.

She turned towards Diana who was still in visible pain and with a sigh Clarke's hands lit up with green light and she healed the injuries Diana had sustained to the point where she would live. The sound of bones snapping into place barely phased Clarke and before long she knew that Diana would be in decent enough condition to survive.

The others had approached and Bellamy was holding Roma's body in his arms. Clarke took in the peaceful look on the girl's face and she sighed as her heart ached heavily.

Clarke tore her eyes away from the sight and turned to Diana who was still laying on the floor groaning,"I've taken any and all powers you may have had now and in the future. I would kill you, but I think it would be better to let you live with the idea that all your careful planning and schemes resulted in nothing. The plans and dreams you had for the future will never bear fruit and you'll be forever destined to live as the failure that you are."

Clarke's hand began to sparkle with electricity as she approached the immobile form of Diana and she crouched down and said, "May you live forever. "

Clarke pressed her palm to the back of Diana's neck and Diana's body tensed before she fell unconscious. Clarke reached into Diana's jacket pocket and pulled out the book that was in there before she walked past the silent forms of Octavia, Bellamy and Raven.

Clarke had taken Roma's body from Bellamy and they had looted the Exodus ship of anything valuable that they were able to carry on them or (in Bellamy and Clarke's case) telekinetically )which ended up being quite the haul. They had left all the rifles and bullets, but they had taken the shock batons, preserved food and medical supplies before Raven had cut the fuel tanks allowing the hydrazine to spread all over.

They left Diana there lying in the dirt after they had looted the Exodus ship for anything of value. Once they were suitably far enough, Raven dropped what she was holding and pointed both her hands at the husk of the Exodus ship a kilometre away.

She was about to fire, but was interrupted by Clarke,"You're too far away."

Clarke gently laid down Roma before she disappeared in a blur. There was perhaps only a few moments of silence before the largest explosion anyone had ever heard echoed out. The sound sent shockwaves through the ground to where they were and eventually they began to dial down before stopping completely.

Clarke appeared roughly a minute after the tremors had died down and she quickly picked up Roma's body. She focused on the items that she had been carrying using her psionic powers and began to walk back to camp in complete silence at the front of the group. The other three began to follow her after an uneasy exchange of looks.

If anyone had been staring at Clarke's face they would be able to see the tears trailing down her face.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Clarke had just finished digging Roma's grave. She could have used her powers, but she felt that digging the hole without them would be better.

The work was hard and gruelling, but Roma deserved no less. It was Clarke's fault that she had died. If Clarke had been on guard or hadn't provoked Diana then none of this would have happened.

She finally finished and she was able to gently manoeuvre Roma into the grave before she slowly replaced the dirt back into the grave until she was done.

The other graves had a gleaming white headstone with a name carved into them. Clarke stepped on the ground and a perfect headstone made of earth formed at the head of Roma's grave and Clarke laid her hand atop it

Clarke's hand began to glow yellow and she focused on the rock beneath her palm and imagined the smooth and sleek look of marble before she forced that image onto the rock and the headstone was enveloped in the yellow light before the gleam died off and a marble headstone laid there with the words 'Roma Bragg' carved meticulously into it.

Clarke allowed tears to fall for some time before she heard footsteps behind her. She was surprised to see Lincoln, since her Instinct hadn't gone off she remained calm.

"I'm sorry for your loss,"said Lincoln in a genuine tone revealing just how long he had been there,"She must have been very important to you."

"She probably would have been,"said Clarke before she broached the topic that she suspected Lincoln was here for,"What did your leader say?"

"She agreed to meet at the bridge that crosses the river,"said Lincoln before adding,"I'll serve as your guide. No weapons allowed."

Clarke nodded and said,"Thank you. I'll tell the others."

Lincoln nodded and left into the darkness of the woods.

Clarke lingered for longer before she gathered some grains of dirt off of all the graves in front of her. Again, a yellow light covered the dirt in her hand and Clarke felt the dirt in her hand solidify into a small shape.

Clarke regarded the golden ring with a small blood red ruby sticking out the top. She held it between her thumb and index finger.

"I promise that I'll do better ,"said Clarke as she took in the sight of the tombstones bathed in moonlight, "I have failed each and everyone of you. Your blood is on my hands. I'll always have this on me to remind myself of how I've failed all of you. "

Clarke slipped the ring on and she left the clearing. The feelings of sadness were pushed deep into herself and she already began to mentally prepare herself for the meeting tomorrow.

Diana was stumbling through the forests. She had barely been awake when Clarke had picked her up and ran with her to this thick forest. The sound of an explosion going off had woken her up.

It was after the explosion that she had been carried at speeds beyond her comprehension and afterwards she realised that Clarke had taken her someplace.

Diana hadn't been able to get a word in before Clarke had again knocked her out using electricity. Diana had been walking around for long now and she was trapped in the silent forest before she heard sounds of talking.

Diana had taken off after the sound and she heard the sound of people getting louder and louder. It was only once she was close that she realised that the people she had sought after were not speaking English.

There were large men in dilapidated clothing with red markings all over their face and to her horror the men were guiding a group of people whose arms were tied to a log that they were forced to carry.

Diana tried to retreat, but a twig below her foot snapped and the men all looked in her direction at first with anger and then with hunger. Diana felt her knees go weak as the men approached and who she assumed was the leader barked three, peculiar words in a guttural and vicious tone that deeply unsettled her.

"Sis em op."

Sis em op - Take her

Hey guys

Here's another chapter. It's the longest chapter I've ever done. Please tell me what you thought of it in the reviwes. I really love to hear feedback from all of you and it really motivates me to work harder when I see people are interacting with my story.

Clarke has begun to get a handle on her Novus powers or has she? The book's contents will be for the next chapter as well an appearance by Anya. Sorry if the story isn't moving fast enough for you but some arcs will be quicker than others. I imagine with three chapters I'll have shot past the whole of season 1 and we'll be within season 2 territory by then.

Happy 4th of July to all my American readers and please again tell me what you thought of.

Also I hope this wasn't too graphic for anyone, its rated M and the 100 the show has had more grisly moments than what was in here, but I hope on one was put off by the violence.

R.I.P Roma and Raven and Finn's relationship. I've always felt like Finn would always be unfaithful to Raven whether or not Clarke was in the mix. I don't consider Finn a major character in this story which is why you found out as Raven found out since I only try to do the POVs of important characters.

Review, Follow and Favourite please!

P.S. Poor Diana... Am I right?
