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.
