"YOU CAN COME IN NOW" Raven says as Bellamy, Finn and Nova enter the tent she was working in. When Nova walked in, she was expecting something much bigger but instead when she looked around the tent, she landed her eyes on a small tin can in front of Raven.
"Oh, Cute" Nova mumbles nodding her head slowly and Raven rolls her eyes playfully.
"Relax. It needs an accelerant-- gunpowder. Container of hydrazine. Put the gunpowder around the hydrazine. Hit the bull's-eye... Win a prize" Raven exaggerates widening her eyes from talking about something she loves.
"It's the rest of our gunpowder. Won't be able to make any more bullets" Bellamy states and Nova sighs shrugging her shoulders. "It gives us time. Hopefully some of our people will be down by then" Nova says as Finn nods in agreement.
"I agree. Tonight we need a bomb. We can worry about bullets tomorrow" Finn states and Nova starts breathing rapidly thinking of all the possibilities that could happen.
Death, Death, Death and more death.
"If we do this and it doesn't work, we'll all be dead tomorrow" Nova says with a shaky tone while tapping her foot. "Then let's make sure it works. To be safe, you need to be at least two hundred feet away to make the shot" Raven states looking to everybody while she explains.
"No problem. Which one of you plants the bomb?" Bellamy asks looking around the tent and Nova and Finn both raise their hands. "I will" They say in unison.
"You won't pick up a gun, but blowing people up, that you're okay with?" Bellamy questions looking to Finn and Nova. Nova puts her hands up in defense. "In my defense I don't know how to use a gun. With a bomb I just lay it down gracefully" Nova declares with a small smile.
"Besides, we're blowing up a bridge. There's not going to be any people on it" Finn states shrugging his shoulder. "Finn, we have one bomb. We need to use it to kill as many of those bastards as possible" Bellamy argues looking to Finn who shakes his head.
"They don't know we only have one bomb. If we did, why would we waste it on a bridge? I say peace through strength" Finn announces and Nova nods slowly trying to understand the last statement he said.
"You mean the appearance of strength" Nova wonders and Finn stares into space for a while until he nods his head. "Yeah, sure" Finn corrects himself, clearing his throat.
