A/N: Hey guys :) Last night I had a show and it was so much fun to work on but bloody hell it was hard work haha, and then I was literally just about to write that all my shows are done now until august when I got told I have one a week on wednesday and now I might be working tomorrow night. Someone swap careers with me, the unpredictability is killing me haha :D Anyway, I love you all, and I'm doing my best to get my updating back on track. xx

Ontari hovered nervously, shooting what she hoped was reassuring smiles to the people in the street who were staring at Raven with suspicion. The Skaikru girl was at the top of a ladder, attempting to fix a lamp to the wall with a wire trailing down beside it that she had said would be connected up to the next one further along the street.

"I need a screwdriver." Raven called down to her, gesturing blindly to a toolbox on the floor at the foot of the ladder, "Can you pass one up to me?"

Sighing Ontari just looked up at her and waited patiently until Raven twisted round to face her, "Raven I don't even know what a screwdriver is, and you're making people nervous."

Smiling, Raven quickly slid down the ladder before bending down to rifle through the box herself, "Lexa said it was ok. People won't be nervous once I get it working and they understand what I'm doing. It's why I'm doing the main market area first so we have a centralized are to work outwards from. We can get people living here trained up to help me install them further out."

Catching hold of Raven's hand as she made to go back up the ladder, Ontari stared at her in confusion, "I don't understand Raven, you said that lights needed batteries, how are you making these work without running out of batteries?"

She didn't get a reply for a long moment, eventually Ontari grew restless at waiting for Raven to drop the strange little smile she was wearing and answer her, "What?!" She snapped impatiently.

"Nothing," Raven said quietly, smirking at the exasperated look on Ontari's face, "It's just, you actually pay attention when I'm talking, most people tune me out until after I finish babbling about technical stuff."

Smiling slightly, Ontari leaned in and kissed her sweetly, "I find you endearing when you are talking about your passion Raven, and I always will, so how are you making these lights work?"

"It's actually really cool." Raven beamed happily, picking up a large sheet of some sort of metal, "These panels allow us to gather energy from the sun itself and store it, so then during the night the lights come on."

"It saves the sunlight?" Ontari asked, looking at the panel intrigued.

Raven titled her head slightly before nodding, "I suppose so, but it doesn't save it as light, it gets stored and converted to electricity to power other things."

Nodding slowly, Ontari looked at the wires that were connecting the lights on the wall to where Raven had just connected the cable to the solar panel, reaching out, she ran her fingers over the wire curiously, "So this rope takes the light to the lamps on the wall? Sorry, electricity." She corrected herself when Raven gave a small smile and shook her head slightly.

"Yeah, and we call it a cable or a wire rather than a rope." Raven explained, placing the panel back down out of the way.

"Why?" Ontari asked, "It doesn't seem very different."

Raven grinned, "Come here I'll show you."

Picking up a spare piece of wire, she pulled the wire strippers from the toolbox and help the end of it out so Ontari could see as she deftly stripped back the first section of the casing so she could see the three smaller wires inside. "See these? The colored parts are really important, red is the live wire, blue is the neutral and the green and yellow wire is the earth wire."

Taking the strippers again, she pulled back a section of the live wire to leave the copper strands free and visible. "The colored bit is to insulate this bit, which means it creates a barrier the electricity can't get through. The copper bit here is what actually carries the electricity."

"Did you get any of that or was it completely alien to you?" Raven laughed when Ontari stared down at the section of wire she had placed in her hand with an odd expression on her face.

"Alien?" Came the soft response, as her eyes flickered up to meet Raven's.

"Oh, um... Different, foreign, strange." She said, trying to come up with a definition that would be understandable.

Ontari smiled and shook her head, "No, I think I understand at least a little of it. But I will be leaving the lights to you and staying with being a warrior I think."

"Ok then, but if you ever change you mind I will be happy to give you private lessons." Raven grinned.

Ontari rolled her eyes, "I'm sure, now are you going to go back to what you were doing?"

Shaking her head, Raven took Ontari's arm and started pulling her away, "It's noon, let's go and get some lunch together before I come back and finish up here."

"Ok then, but let's go and get Cal first then and we can go."
