- Survival Of The Fittest

Hope was standing in the middle of the room with Lexa and her council trying to come up with a plan with how to get both of their people out of Mount Weather, " this argument is a waste of time" Quint spoke up in an angered tone, "it is simple. They can't breathe our air. Why not open the door and be done with it? Let them burn" sounds of agreement was heard from the others only for Hope to let out a sigh shaking her head in response, " No, from what Clarke had told me. They have a containment system, multiple of airlocks just like we had on the Ark. our inside man can shut that down"

"If he gets inside" Quint muttered as he narrowed his eyes at the auburn haired girl as Lexa looked between her girlfriend and Quint before she spoke up and suggested, " what if we shut it down from the outside? You say the dam gives them power. Let's take that away" Hope stayed silent for a couple of moments before she started to speak, " that dam withstood a nuclear war, Lexa. I highly doubt..."Quint slammed his hand on the table interrupting the auburn haired girl and harshly hissed, " all she offers is no"

Lexa narrowed her eyes harshly at the man for speaking to her girlfriend in that way and warned him, " Quint" he took a deep breath trying to keep his composure before he continued, " apologies, Commander, but the biggest army we've ever had waits for us to give it mission. The longer that takes, the more of our people die inside that mountain" Hope scoffed folding her arms across her chest as her friends are also in Mount Weather, " it's the same for all of us."

"We've lost thousands... how many have you lost, girl?" Quint hissed at Hope with a look of hate on his face before he addressed the room, " she says she has a plan. I say waiting for one man to get inside. Is not a very good one. I don't see why we are listening to her when she is just the Commanders whore!" Hope glared over at the grounder and hissed, " who the hell are you calling a whore! I have lost my father, my mother, everyone I have ever cared about so don't talk to me about loss!"

" I agree with Quint. We have an army. Let's use it" another grounder spoke up agreeing with Quint onto for Hope to let out a frustrated sigh and told them, " we will after Bellamy lowers their defences, turns off the acid fog. I don't care how many men you have, if you can't get to your enemy, you can't win" Quint glare deepened as he stared at the auburn haired girl and hissed, " you are the enemy!" Hope turned around to face the man tilting her head to the side and asked, " I'm sorry. Have I done something to offend you?"

Quint growled under his breathe as he stared walking towards the girl only for Lexa to stand in front of her protectively, " Yes. You burnt my brother alive in a ring of fire" Hope looked over at Clarke who was standing beside Byrne listening to the conversation before she turned her attention back to the grounder walking over to him knowing it was Clarke who had killed his brother to save all their people and defended, " he shouldn't have attacked my people"

"You're very brave under the commander's protection, aren't you?" Quint smirked keeping his eyes on the girl as Lexa grabbed her hand pulling her away from her guard and hissed, " enough!" Quint eyes never left Hope as he informed the commander, " I can't be in an alliance with these people" Lexa narrowed her eyes at Quint who walked away before she picked up the map in front of her, " Quint is right. Waiting for Bellamy is not a plan. It's a prayer, one that's not likely to be answered"
