"Woah! What's going on here guys." Damon ran in and Raven released Murphy from the chokehold.
"Cough! Cough!" Murphy grabbed his throat while trying to catch his breath. He hurriedly distanced himself from Raven while looking at her like she was a monster.
"I woke up and this guy was sleeping in the same bed as me!" Raven pointed her knife at Murphy
"I told you I thought it was my bed! It was the Jobi nuts, they made me go crazy or something." Murphy said with his hands up.
"Trust me I don't want to catch anything," Murphy smirked but his smile disappeared when Raven lunged at him with a roar.
"Woah!" Damon hurriedly blocked Raven from ramming into Murphy afraid the poor guy might end up dead.
"Let me have at him, Damon!" Raven pushed into him, but he didn't budge.
"Calm down Raven. You know how Murphy likes to run his mouth; don't take anything he says as anything more than bullshit." Damon attempted to calm Raven down.
"I'm right here you know?" Murphy said
"You be quiet!" Damon pointed at Murphy
"Atom! Take Murphy here to do some actual work around the camp instead of just sitting on his ass." Damon said to Atom who looked completely clueless the entire time.
There was no way he was jumping in front of Murphy to protect him from Raven. He didn't want to die.
"Yes sir!" Atom grabbed Murphy's arm and started dragging him out of the dropship.
"I can walk on my own," Murphy said while yanking his arm away.
"Good lord that guy is going to give me a heart attack." Damon wiped the sweat from his brow before looking at Raven who was still glaring at Murphy as he left.
"You calm now?" Damon asked Raven who he was still holding.
"I'll get him back sooner or later just wait," Raven said with a smirk.
"Oh gosh don't kill the poor boy," Damon whispered while thinking of what Raven might do to Murphy.
"I like what I'm feeling." He heard Raven and realized her hands had been on his abs since the scuffle.
He looked at her and saw her smirking.
He slapped her hands away with a laugh.
"Maybe I'll let you feel them later." Damon winked
"But right now we got business to take care of. How are things on the ark going?" Damon asked while sitting down in a seat.
"It's a little chaotic up there. The citizens didn't exactly take well to learning that you are the new leader. Someone who they hadn't even heard of or seen in their entire lives.
They are wondering how they went from voting to a chancellor to being forced to follow a self-proclaimed king." Raven said while taking a seat next to him.
Damon saw her glancing at his food and handed her the rest.
"I knew this would happen, but I know Jaha will keep things together. Once these people get to the ground convincing them to follow me will be easy.
When you have the power and the means to keep people safe, they follow."
"And if some of them don't?" Raven asked
"Depends. Anyone can leave Skaikru but they'll be banished from our lands. It just depends on what kind of decision they decide to make."
Raven nodded in understanding.
"Oh! Before I forget." Raven jumped up from her seat and threw away the finished meat stick before walking over to her desk and picking up a few rectangle-like items.
"The walkies are done," Raven said
Damon stood up and walked over while looking at the six walkies that were already made.
"That was fast?" Damon was surprised and looked at Raven who was smirking at him arrogantly.
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
'God damn her smirk is so fucking sexy.'
'Cough!' Damon snapped out of his thoughts
"So, they work and everything?" Damon said while holding the walkie in his hand.
"Yeah, but the range on them is shit, and if we're anywhere near mount weather they'll be jammed," Raven said looking a little disappointed
"Hey, this is good work. This will help us defend the camp a lot easier." Damon pat Raven on the shoulder and she nodded.
"You're welcome."
Damon was about to respond when he heard someone enter the dropship.
"Damon the others are waiting in the command tent," Bellamy said while looking at him and glancing at Raven.
"Ok, I'll be right there," Damon said before looking back at Raven
"Come on. Bring the walkies well hand them out during the meeting." Damon said before helping Raven carry a few of the walkie-talkies before they walked over to a huge tent with flap doors made of tarp.
Pulling the tarp door aside Damon let Raven in first before entering right after.
Looking around he spotted a huge wooden table with a map laid over it with different markings and pieces laid across while multiple chairs and seats were sat around the table for them to sit at.
Inside the tent were Octavia, Bellamy, Clarke, Wells, and then him and Raven.
"Hey guys, come get a talkie. Raven already finished them." Damon said as he laid the walkies down on the table for the others to grab.
"I only made six but I'm working on making more," Raven explained
"That's good enough for now," Bellamy said as he strapped a walkie to his belt before sitting back down.
Clarke and Octavia also grabbed one while thanking Raven and sitting back down.
"There are two more. Well, give both of them to Miller so his scout teams can have better communication for right now." Damon said while taking a seat at the end of the table with the highest chair making him sit above everyone by a few inches.
It wasn't that he liked to be above his own people, but it was a fact that in order to be the leader and earn the respect of everyone you had to be above them.
It was just the truth that the leader was more important and had to be shown their due respect.
"We're here to talk about how we should make contact with the scout. Any ideas?" Damon asked while looking down at everyone.
