Before we woke anyone else up, Jordan gave us some algae to eat. It surprisingly tasted decent. Jordan told me how Bear's snout used to stain green from eating it, his memories made me smile and Bellamy laugh. But the more I thought about Bear, Monty and Harper, the more my chest tightened.

Jordan had to witness one of my panic attacks. Bellamy knew how to deal with me, but Jordan didn't know that. He tried to help but Bellamy nicely told him not to intervene while I tried to get myself under control. I noticed as I sobbed that my side was still killing me, even after a hundred and twenty five years. An hour later, I was okay enough to wake our friends up. Bellamy kept trying to tell me we can wait a little longer if I needed it, but I didn't want to. They needed to know what was going on too.

We woke our core people up and brought them into the bridge to watch the same video as we did. After the video, there was just a moment of everyone staring out the window in admiration.

"I know this is a lot to process," Bellamy spoke up from beside me. "Take an hour and meet in the mess. We need to game this out."

"Monty did this for us to survive. He made sure we could live," I solidified.

"Now we get our humanity back," Abby spoke.

"Some of us never lost it," Raven snarked. I could see the pain in her face as she turned around to storm out of the room. Shaw immediately followed after her. I looked back to Abby, I was missing a piece of the puzzle but this wasn't the time to ask questions about it.

Bellamy and I stayed on the bridge to read into the Eligius file so we could get some sort of idea about what was going on down at planet Alpha. We got a few facts but not too much that was useful. After we gathered what we could, we made our way to the mess where everyone else was supposed to be. I sat down with everyone at a table and noticed Clarke walk in a few minutes later, she went over to Jordan who talked with her and gave Clarke some food. I turned to Reese and gave him a look like I wanted information.

"What?" He asked me, confused about my stare.

"So Raven and Shaw, they're together right?" I questioned.

"Isn't it obvious? Thought everyone knew that," Reese said to me with his eyebrows raised. Reese and Shaw are apparently besties, seems like they always have each other's backs. Plus I know they bicker like siblings, I've witnessed them doing so.

"Guess I was busy with something else," I shrugged my shoulders. It's hard to keep up on everyone, especially when I'm dealing with something else.

Clarke walked past us at this point, she was going over to sit with her mom. Abby was at a table by herself, not talking and not eating. I knew she was worried about what to do with Kane, I was too.

"Have you seen Raven or Shaw?" Bellamy stopped Clarke from walking by.

"You know, the people you handed over to our enemy to be tortured," Emori snarked.

"For Clarke we call that a Tuesday," Murphy remarked. I mostly forgave Clarke for turning on us, but there was still a part of me that didn't. I don't know why she felt we couldn't pull through in that war, but it hurt.

"Easy. She did the right thing in the end," Echo stated.

"No. I haven't seen them," was all Clarke responded to as she turned away to continue to her mom.

"This algae shit... not good at all," Reese broke up the tension. He shook his head after consuming some.

"Welcome to the club," Murphy spoke.

"It may not be good, but it's useful," Jordan said as he walked past us. He walked over to where Clarke and Abby were sitting and held a tray with a canister on it. "First culture algae, my dad thought you could use this to help Kane."
