Collide

Mount Weather Past Part 2

Continuation from the previous part.

They all returned back home. This time with Luna and her own small group of warriors. "We can set up some tents for your warriors and you can stay in the tower. Its too dangerous for you to be unprotected." Lexa urged Luna to stay in the tower but she refused. "These are my people. I will not leave them while I'm treated with luxury. Besides, I can protect myself. After all, I'm apparently the best fighter alive." Lexa nodded. Lexa turned towards the others, "you guys can go on with your day I'll show Luna and her warriors around." After saying their goodbyes, everyone parted. Soon it was just Lexa and Luna after taking the warriors to their tents. "So you're dating Clarke?" Lexa looked at Luna startled. "Dating?" "I saw you two holding hands while she was talking." Lexa was confused. "How did you see th-" "When you're the 'best warrior alive' you pay attention to everything. All of your surroundings because you never know when you can be attacked. Even pay attention to whatever's at the corner of your eye. And for me that would've been your hands." Lexa was somewhat embarrassed that someone other than Clarke saw her soft side but on the bright side had someone to talk to about her feelings for Clarke. "We're not dating. Well, I mean- I like her but it's nothing serious since we aren't together." "You want it to be serious don't you?" Lexa nodded. "Tell her." Lexa turned to look at Luna with a surprised look on her face. "What? She clearly likes you too, I can practically smell it off of her. And I've only known her for less than a day. All I know is her name and that she likes you. Also, I lived here once, ya know? I don't need a tour, it's looks the same since I fled, just a few things rearranged."
Lexa's Room around midnight
As she prepared for bed Lexa heard a knock on her door. "Enter." It was Clarke. Lexa was surprised to see her at such a late hour. "Clarke? What are you doing here?" "Well, I was going to wait to thank you tomorrow but I didn't want anyone near to hear it. So I decided to come now." Lexa was confused. "Thank me for what?" Clarke took a deep breath. "For calming me down. If it wasn't for you I don't think I'd be able to talk to Luna the way I did." Lexa gave a light smile, Clarke did as well. "Why didn't you want anyone else to hear it?" Lexa tilted her head. "You know why." Clarke spoke as she slowly came closer to Lexa, who was sitting on the side of her bed. Lexa nodded, she knew why. Clarke liked seeing Lexa with her hair downand without her war paint. She thought it made her seem less gaurded and it was like seeing her with her walls down. Clarke mad her way to the bed and sat next to her. "Clarke, I have to tell you something." "Don't." Clarke spoke as soon as Lexa finished her sentence. Clarke then lunged forward grabbing Lexa's face and kissed her. Lexa did not hesitate to kiss her back. After pulling back, Clarke cleared her throat. "I- I should go." She spoke while painting towards the door. As she started walking away Lexa teacher out and grabbed her arm. Clarke turned around. "Don't." Lexa then, well still holding onto Clarke's arm, pulled her back.
Raven's Room
"Hey Raven!" Octavia spoke after coming to visit Raven. "Hey. It's nice to see you without your armor for once. So what did you want to come over for? And why so late?" "Well, it's late because it took me so long deciding on if I wanted to do this and I gathered enough confidence to do it and I didn't want it to go away." Octavia spoke fastly. "Raven walked up to Octavia and stroked her cheek. "You? Scared? What did you need to say?" "I know we've only been on two dates but I really want to make this work. So, Raven Reyes, will you be my girlfriend?" Raven squealed and hugged Octavia. "Yes!"
The next morning a week later
Lexa woke up to a knock on the door. "Enter." It was Titus. "A letter was addressed to be sent directly to you Heda." He handed it to her and left.

Come to the back of Mount Weather. Alone. If anyone is seen with you they will be shot on sight
- Cage Wallace
Lexa then got ready to leave and called for Titus. "I will be out for a while and I request to be alone of I'll kill anyone who follows. If anyone asks for me, then tell them I am gone for the day." Titus nodded and left her room.
Behind the Mount Weather building

"I see you came." Cage walked closer to Lexa and stretched out his arm to shake Lexa's hand. She stepped back. "What do you want Cage?" "I can gaurantee you the safety of every grounder in this building if you let me keep all of Clarke's people and you don't go on with this war. There was a long silence. Cage could tell Lexa was thinking about it. "I see you're thinking about it so I'll tell you what. Go home. Write me back with your decision." Cage turned around and left Lexa standing there.
Back at Polis
Lexa arrive back home where Luna ran to her. "Where have you been?! Titus said you left for something? What happened? You know, Clarke was really worried too but I finally got her to calm down and go home." Lexa just stood there. She could hear and and understand Luna perfectly but just didn't know if she should tell her or not about the deal she was offered. Until she finally came to a conclusion to tell her. "We can talk. But not here." Lexa led Luna to her room. "Lexa what's going on?" "I was offered a deal. A deal to leave Clarke's people on the mountain and free all of mine. It would mean all of my people are safe and free and the problem is that Clarke wouldn't be able to get her people out of there alone with her army." Luna was in shock. "She wouldn't be alone. She would have me and my warriors protecting her, Raven and getting her people out. But are you seriously considering this deal? Your alliance will break. Then there's bound to be another war but this time between you and Clarke." Luna was upset and devastated that Lexa would consider this deal. "You know what you're right!"
That night
In her room, Lexa just handed Titus a letter and she trusted him to mail it off because he would never do anything to betray or hurt her. She thankfully declined Cage's offer. Just as she was about to sleep Clarke entered unannounced. Lexa shot up to see who it was. "Clarke. What are you doing here?" They haven't talked since about what happened a week earlier. But they never had time to since they were never alone. They were always together with everyone strategizing. "I just wanted to check up on youm Make sure you were ok. Where were you today?" Lexa had to think of a lie. "Just wanted to go on a walk to calm myself down. Just have some air before the war." "Well I'm always here for you, ok, Lexa?" Lexa looked up at Clarke. She then stood up and walked over to her. Lexa couldn't help but grab her waist, pull her in and kiss her. Clarke didn't expect that so she wasn't sure what to do until she kissed her back and put her hands onto Lexa's face then wrapped her arms around her neck. They eventually pulled away and Lexa spoke. "You would never leave me right?" "Never."
