23 ~ Bomb

___

And here it is, our final night alive

And as the Earth burns to the ground

Oh, girl, it's you that I lie with

As the atom bomb locks in

Oh, it's you I watch TV with

As the world, as the world caves in

Finn quickly exits the drop ship and makes his way to Ravens tent, where Jasper and Bellamy are talking to her.

He walks in as Raven's speaking. "We need as many rounds done by dawn as we can."

"It won't matter if there's no one left who can shoot. What do we need to build a bomb?" He adds.

Raven turns to look at him. "Depends on what you're trying to blow up."

"How about a bridge?"

Bellamy cocks his head. "What are you talking about?"

"Murphy says he crossed a bridge on his way back here from the Grounders' camp. Sound familiar?"

Bellamy nods. "Yeah. So what?"

"So, the virus is fast. He's already getting better. Blowing the bridge won't stop the attack, but the longer we can delay it, the more of us will be able to fight."

"Even if Murphy is telling the truth-- and that's a big if-- that bridge has survived a nuclear war and ninety-seven years of weather." Bellamy says crossing his arms.

Raven has a look on her face that makes it clear she has an idea. "It won't survive me."

Later, after a trip back to the Exodus crash site, Raven is back in her tent finishing up the making of their weapon.

"Okay, you can come in now."

Bellamy and Finn enter cautiously. Raven pops out at Bellamy. "Boom!"

He huffs. "Cute."

Raven sits and shows the components. "Relax. It needs an accelerant-- gunpowder. Container of hydrazine. Put the gunpowder around the hydrazine. Hit the bull's-eye... win a prize."

Bellamy nods as he takes it in. "It's the rest of our gunpowder. Won't be able to make any more bullets."

"Tonight, we need a bomb. We can worry about bullets tomorrow." Finn says.

"If we do this and it doesn't work, we'll all be dead tomorrow."

"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 tells Bellamy.
