A/N: I have 900 followers, that is absolutely insane, although now the competitive nature in me is now pining for a 1000 just so I could say I've done it haha. Little bit shorted chapter today, I am exhausted because I've had another show today. But I'm off tomorrow so you should get an earlier, lengthier chapter. Hope you enjoy this chaper guys, love you all! xxx

The Skaikru camp was woken up at the break of day by raised voices from the center of camp, stumbling outside, they were met by the sight of the Commander, Clarke, Raven and the Azgeda warrior that had visited last time, arguing hotly as they stacked up crates in the center of the largest clear area.

Stubbornly, Raven shifted another crate on top before stepping back, leaving their structure standing at about five feet tall.

Waving her hand at the Commander, they all heard her bark out, "Go on then." Her voice sharp and mocking.

Lexa smirked, stretching her arms above her neck, her thin shirt rising off to show toned abs underneath. Then she backed up carefully, counting fifteen steps before stopping.

As annoyed as they were about being woken, the people couldn't help but watch in rapt confusion as they tried to work out what exactly was going on.

Breaking into a run, Lexa headed straight for the stack, kicking off a meter away to sail over the top of it, coming down on one shoulder to roll before bouncing back to her feet.

Raven growled as Clarke cheered loudly, and Lexa grinned smugly, giving a teasing bow. Shaking her head, Raven just hit Ontari in the arm and motioned her head towards the crates. Ontari held her hands up immediately, trying to deflect Raven, but the sky girl was adamant and she found herself facing the stack anyway.

As soon as she left the ground Ontari knew she wouldn't make it over cleanly like Lexa had. Instead she hit hard on the edge and the entire thing toppled around her, with Ontari herself looking dazed as she lay among a pile of wooden crates.

"No!" Raven yelled in frustration, glaring at Lexa who had started laughing, "This isn't fair, you can't make bets without first divulging that you're part kangaroo!"

Lexa looked over to Clarke questioningly, not recognizing the word, but she just chuckled and said she would explain later.

"What on earth is going on?" Abby yelled angrily as she walked out of the building her room was located in. "The first time Arkadia has ever had a noise complaint and it's you four." Her voice was despairing as she looked at Lexa, waiting for the Commander to say something that would make sense of their odd behavior.

Clarke looked at Abby with a hurt expression, "To be fair, me and Ontari had nothing to do with this. Lexa and Raven started it."

Lexa lifted her chin proudly as her eyes flicked around the crowd, "As Commander, it is my duty to know the abilities of my subjects, we were devising a way to assess athleticism."

Raven snorted as Abby waved the crowd away so they could head for breakfast, "No, you wanted my share of Lincoln's next homemade dessert at Octavia's family dinners."

"And now it's mine." Lexa replied smugly as Abby rolled her eyes, quickly ducking into the mess hall to lead them to a free table.

"You woke the entire camp up for a piece of cake at some point in the future? And what about your flawless Commander reputation?" Abby asked tiredly as they sat down.

Lexa leaned her head on her hands and looked at her across the table, "Times are changing, Abby of the Sky People. And I refuse to stop allowing myself to be happy anymore. With the support of Azgeda, Floukru and Skaikru, I am now strong enough to protect everyone I care about. And I intend to take full advantage of that."

Kane quickly slipped into a seat next to her, "Commander." He nodded respectfully, waiting for Lexa to look at him before speaking again, "I was about to send a message to the capitol, I am glad you are here."

"What is it Kane?" Lexa asked curiously, as they gratefully accepted the plates of food brought to them.

Nervously drumming his fingers on the table, he pulled out a small piece of paper from inside his jacket and handed it over to her.

Letting her eyes skim the message, Lexa closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she tried to contain the anger and pure frustration she was feeling.

Clarke held out her hand expectantly once Lexa was done reading, and the note was soon placed in her hands, Clarke following suit and quickly reading through what was written on the small sheet.

Ontari and Raven looked at them curiously as Lexa gave a small nod to Clarke and the note was subsequently shown to them as well.

Ontari's hand ghosted over her side as Raven groaned along with the rest of them, "Clanless?"

"Clanless." Lexa echoed, "Organized and well armed, and now threatening my people."

"Actually the threat was directed solely to Skaikru." Kane said quietly, thinking she had misread the note.

Lexa smiled at him, despite the serious nature of my conversation, "Clearly you were not paying attention, that brand on your arm claims your clan for my coalition, making Skaikru my people."

"What do we do?" Clarke asked quietly, "It seems pretty clear to me, that if we do nothing, Arkadia will be eradicated in a week."

"We do what I should've done for your people from the start Clarke," Lexa said confidently, "We're going to protect them."
