The 100 Imagines

Hero - L e x a

(Anyone else low-key in love with her? 😍)

When you awoke early in the morning. The sunrise light having a high contrast to the warpaint already on Lexa's face.

She was standing, battle gear on, sword strapped to her side, dagger hilted on the other. Groaning you sat up, rubbing your eyes.

"Lex. What's going on?" You yawned, stretching your arms above your head and sighing at the familiar pop.

Your girlfriend glanced at you over her shoulder as she adjusted the last buckle on her midsection.

"There's an army. Waiting outside Polis, threatening us. I'm going to them." And before you could object she started walking out of the room.

"Azgeda?" You questioned although you knew the answer already, Lexa confirming with a small, stiff nod.

Scrambling after her you managed to grab her arm and spin her to face you.

"Are you crazy? What am I meant to do?" You snarled, stripping quickly to change, while still gripping her arm, partly to hold yourself up right now.

"Stay here. They could kill you." You threw your hand up and jumped to pull your pants up.

"Babe. They'd want to kill you more than me and that's not happening, I'm coming with you whether you like it or not." And throwing on the rest of the gear you followed her down the stairs of the tower, Lexa rolling her eyes.

You both stood outside Polis, Lexa and yourself at the front, Indra and Titus behind, with a small army of about 200 behind them. In front of you was Queen Nia, Ontari and an army of about 400.

"What are you doing here Nia?" You spat, glaring as she smirked.

"My my, Lexa. You had better keep your girlfriend in check, she has a big mouth. It'll get her killed one day. Not that she'd be missed." The Commander growled, moving you behind her with the sweep of her arm, her other hand on her sword.

"It was a valid question. What are you doing here?" The Commander hissed.

"I came to warn you. Azgeda will not just sit idly by in this kongeda, your rule will end and Y/N will be your downfall." And at the motion of her hand a hundred of her warriors moved forward drawing their swords, eyes on you.

"Run. They're after you. Killing you is killing me. Go!" Lexa yelled, pushing you away. You stood rooted to the spot as they advanced slowly.

"Y/N! Now is not the time for stubbornness! Go!" You shook your head Lexa nodded to Titus who scooped you up despite your protests, hauling you over his shoulder. You balled your fists and clashed them against his back.

"Titus! Let me down! I need to help Lexa." You started sobbing. There was always a possibility that she'd die in a fight. Slim maybe, but always there. Your mind couldn't help but go to the saying.

Love is weakness.

If Lexa died because of you. You didn't know what you'd do.

"Stay here." He demanded as he placed you in the base of the Polis tower. He retreated back quickly, to where the sound of swords were still clashing, every clash making you wince.

You were about to start running towards the commotion again when you heard something from the tower.

"Help!" You froze. The Nightbloods. You sprinted up the stairs, bursting into the room just in time to see an Azgeda warrior standing in front of all the Nightbloods, backed into a corner.

"Hey!" You shouted, running at the warrior as fast as you could, kicking him in the stomach. He fell but he threw a dagger.

Time moved still before it embedded in your side. Gasping you walked on shaky legs drawing your sword and placing it against his throat.

"Yu gonplei ste udon." You growled, slitting his throat with ease. You collapsed just in time for Lexa to burst through the door.

"Y/N!" She shouted, running and falling in front of you.

"Hey, look at me, are you okay?" She fretted, taking your head in her hands, kissing your nose and searching our eyes.

You nodded and hugged her, careful not to injure yourself too much more.

"You idiot! Titus brought you here to be safe. Not to find more trouble." You frowned and looked towards Aden and the other Nightbloods.

"I helped though? Didn't I?" You asked confused and Lexa smiled softly, nuzzling your cheek.

"Yes. You did. But I sent you here because I'm an overprotective girlfriend, not a murdering one." She chuckled.

"It just seems you can't do anything without being a hero."
