I woke up to commotion across the drop ship. I heard Murphy and Bellamy talking, so I walked over quickly.

"Hey, Murphy, I've got this," I said, standing next to the two of them.

Murphy gave me a small smile as he handed me the cup and walked away. I sat next to Bellamy on the floor and handed him the cup of water. He took it from me.

"You feeling better?" he asked me.

I smiled at him and nodded. "Yeah, I am."

"That's good. You seen Octavia?" Bellamy asked me.

"She was up all night helping people. Murphy gave her a break," I told him.

"Don't tell me you trust him now," Bellamy said with a lifted brow.

Clarke answered him before I could. "Trust? No. We do believe in second chances, though."

Bellamy looked around. "It's almost dawn. Better get everyone inside. If we lock the doors, maybe the Grounders will think we're not home."

I shook my head in protest. "Bellamy, not everyone is sick," I reminded him.

"Sick is better than dead," he replied, making me sigh.

"You don't think Finn and Jasper are gonna pull it off," Clarke stated.

I looked between the two of them with a frown.

"Do you?" Bellamy asked Clarke pointedly.

The blonde looked down in thought for a moment, then sighed softly. "I'll get everyone inside."

"You feeling okay enough to go help?" I asked Bellamy.

He smiled at me and nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

I helped Bellamy stand and we walked outside together. It was light out now, and it was only a matter of time before the Grounders showed up.

We hurriedly tried to gather everyone, but stopped when we heard an explosion. Bellamy, Clarke and I immediately turned towards the noise, seeing a giant cloud of smoke coming from the direction of the bridge. I laughed silently.

"They did it," Bellamy said aloud.

"'I am become death, destroyer of worlds'," Clarke started.

Bellamy and I looked at her quizzically. She saw us staring and looked away.

"Oppenheimer. The man who built the first-"

"We know who Oppenheimer is, Clarke," I interrupted her, to which she smiled sheepishly at me.

About an hour later, Monty and Jasper arrived back, earning cheers and celebrations from everyone around. I stood back, watching from a distance. I saw Finn supporting Raven with an arm over his shoulder and ran over to help him.

"Raven!" I called out as I met them.

My brother and I helped her into the drop ship and Clarke watched over her for a while.

"She's getting stronger," Clarke told us.

I turned to my brother. "She'll be okay, Finny."

My brother nodded. "Yeah... Stella, can we talk?"

"Of course," I nodded at my brother.

The two of us walked out of the drop ship, Murphy shooting me a smile to which I returned.

Finn led me to the edge of camp and avoided looking at me. I furrowed my brows in confusion.

"Finn? What's wrong?" I asked as I placed a hand on his shoulder.
