The Mount Weather Past

⚠️P L E A S E   R E A D⚠️
This chapter is all a flashback and especially revolves around what Luna has been pressuring Lexa to tell Clarke. Heads up, it's a bit long and keep in mind that Clarke and Lexa aren't together yet in this flashback. Also note that the flashbacks will be two or three parts.
"Lexa! We need to discuss how to free our people from Mount Weather. You can't keep avoiding the problem!" Clarke stormed into Lexa's room unannounced and angered. Lexa turned in shock. She was startled. "Clarke, I've already told you, if we start this war we. Will. Lose. We may out number them but they have better security and weapons. What we need is a good fighter and strategizer to figure out how to get us in and to be able to fight to protect themselves." "What if I can get us both? Expect two people." Lexa looked puzzled after hearing  Clarke's words. "Raven is the smartest person I know. And Octavia has a friend. Lincoln. He can get us in contact with a good- no, great fighter. Luna." Lexa felt chills go down her spine hearing her name. "Did you say Luna?" Clarke nodded. "You know her?" Lexa took a deep breath then continued. "Luna...she was in my conclave. But she fled. Never heard of or heard from again. No one even knows where she is. But how does Lincoln?" Clarke was shocked from her story. "I- I don't know. All I know is that if I can talk to Lincoln then there's a chance we can get Luna. She's one of the best fighters. Maybe even the best from what I've heard from him." Lexa approved that if they get Luna and Raven on board with a plan then they might have a chance.
With Raven
"So you want this Luna girl to agree to protect me while I hack into Mount Weather and let us into the building? I'm in. As long as she is because I would rather have the best of the best protecting me rather than any warrior." Raven had agreed to the plan. All they needed was Luna. "Thank you so much Raven! I'll update you as soon as I hear more." Clarke left as Raven called out, "See ya!"
With Lincoln
"Clarke!" Lincoln called out to Clarke whole running towards her. She turned around to see him getting closer and closer. "What is it? Are you ok?" "I'm fine. And I have some good news. Luna agreed to talk to you for 10 minutes. She claims that's long enough for you to be able to convince her to help." "That's amazing! Lincoln I can't thank you enough! If there's anything I can do just let me know." Clarke knew she was in debt to Lincoln now. "Just don't let me die," He joked and let out a chuckle as well as Clarke. "Deal."
The next day

Raven, Clarke, Lexa and Lincoln were getting ready to head out and meet with Luna to convince her to help them. After arriving, the four were led to a room with nothing but a table a chairs around it. At the far end, Luna was sitting. Watching. Staring. She nodded at the gaurds and they started taking the weapons from everyone to ensure Luna's safety. After all weapons were confiscated, Luna nodded one more time to the gaurds and the doors were closed behind them and it was just the five of them in the room. "Sit." Luna declared. Almost in unison they all sat down. She stared at all of them for a second and they all stared at her. As Clarke was just about to begin speaking, Luna took the spotlight. "Clarke, Lincoln tells me you want me to protect your hacker." Luna then shifts her head from Clarke to Raven. "Before we go on, have you agreed to go along with the plan? For me to protect you while you let everyone else into Mount Weather?" Raven nodded. "Great. You have consent from one of us. Convince the other." Luna pointed at herself. Clarke was about to speak but was once again interrupted. This time by Lexa, who grabbed Clarke's leg under the table trying to keep her from talking. Thankfully, Clarke understood Lexa didn't want her to talk. "All of Clarke's friends and people she barely knows are in that building yet she would do anything to save them. Risk her own life for people who she doesn't even know all the names of. And all of us know damn well she isn't just doing this for her people. Mine too." Lexa and Clarke looked at each other and shared a smile. Luna wouldn't admit it to their face but she thought Lexa had a damn good "presentation". "Lexa, you look...well. Good thing I left and didn't kill you." Both girls chuckled and while Raven, Clarke and Lincoln looked at each other confused. Wondering why they laughed at a joke like that. "You're not too bad yourself." They both smiled and Luna continued. "We all know Lincoln is only here so that he could bring you guys to me. I asked for Raven to make sure she was ok with it. Clarke and Lexa were needed to present as leaders why they deserve my help. Lexa has given me a reasonable to help. But now Clarke. It all depends on you. Why should I help you guys?" Clarke took a deep breath. She was scared. Lexa noticed. Once again, under the table so no one would notice, Lexa grabbed Clarke's hand to let her know it's going to be ok. Luna tilted her head waiting for a response. Finally, Clarke spoke. "Luna, imagine your people in that building. Tortured. Dying. Pain. Screams. And you have a small clan. You wouldn't be able to do anything to help them, especially if a lot of them are in that building. You would ask for help and you know it." Luna tilted her head back over. Clarke had a point. Lexa was proud of her and released her hand. Or tried to. But Clarke didn't let her. Clarke held on. Luna noticed them shifting a little and saw a glimpse of their hands attached together. She didn't say anything about it. "You both have a valid reason. And, Raven I thank you for letting me know you gave consent. Lincoln, thank you for bringing this horrid situation to attention." All four nodded. "Does this mean you'll help us." Clarke questioned. "It does."
