Clarke's pov
"If you so much as look at her the wrong way, I will slit your throat." Gustus said to me
"You're the one who burned three hundred of my warriors alive." Lexa said
"You're the one who sent them there to kill us." I said
"Do you have an answer for me, Clarke of the Sky People?" Lexa asked
"I've come to make you an offer." I said
"This is not a negotiation." Lexa said
"Teik ai frag em op en ge disha odon kom. " Indra said (A/N Translation: Let me kill her and get this over with.)
"I can help you beat the Mountain Men." I said
"Go on." Lexa said
"Hundreds of your people are trapped inside Mount Weather, kept in cages. Their blood is used as medicine." I said
&How do you know this?" Lexa  asked Suspiciously
"Because I saw them. My people are prisoners there, too. I was one of them." I said
"Lies. No one escapes the mountain." Indra
"I did. With Anya. We fought our way out together." I said
"Another lie. Anya died in the fire. You killed her." Indra said
"She told you me you were her Second. I'm sure she'd want you to have this." I said handing Lexa a lock of anyas hair.
"We don't even know it's hers." Indra said
"Shop of, Indra. " lexa said to Indra (A/N Translation: Quiet, Indra.)
"Anya was my mentor before I was called to lead my people." Lexa said to me
"Did she die well?" Lexa asked
"Yes. By my side, trying to get a message to you." I said
"What message?" Lexa asked
"The only way to save both our people is if we join together." I said
"Those who are about to die will say anything." Indra said
"I'm still waiting for an offer, Clarke." Lexa said
"The Mountain Men are turning your people into Reapers. I can turn them back." I said
"Impossible. " Indra said before turning to lexa
"Heda, ai beg yu, teik ai frag em op." Indra said (A/n Translation: Commander, I beg you, let me kill her.)
"I've done it with Lincoln." I said
"That traitor is the reason —" Indra said Furiously approaching me.
"Indra." Lexa said warningly
"why my village was slaughtered by your people —" Indra said
"Em pleni! " lexa yelled (a/n Translation: Enough!)
"You say you can turn Reapers back into men." Lexa said
"Yes" I said
"Then prove it. Show me Lincoln." Lexa said

Dante's pov
"What are we doing out here?" I asked cage as we walked outside in our hazmat suits.
"I told you to trust me." Cage said turning to me reaching up for his helmet
"Son..." I says concerned as he lifts his helmet off.
"It worked." Cage said breathing the fresh air.
"It's okay. You had the same treatment I did. Go ahead." Cage said
"I'd forgotten the smells" I said in wonder as I took off my helmet
"This is where we belong. You always told me that the surface was our true home...Not some concrete coffin.mWe have to go back now. We only have a few minutes. Come on." I said taking him back inside
"Dad?" I asked
"Don't play with me, son. What will it take to stay," I asked
"Bone marrow. All that they have." Cage said
"They'll die so that we can finally live." I said
"This is our world. We deserve this." Cage said
"We are the keepers of history. What we've done to the Outsiders has corrupted our legacy. I can't go down that road any further." I said Walking away.
"Dad. Please." Cage said
"The answer's no." I said

Giselle's Pov
"Oh, thank god. Where's Clarke?" Octavia asked as Finn entered with abby
"Trying to stop a war." Finn said I looked at him confused.
"Pupils are unresponsive." Abby said looking at Lincoln. Octavia, Bellamy and I look at each other in alarm
"Tie off his arm. Tight as you can. Thanks to the supplies your brother found, Lincoln might have a chance." Abby said looking at octavia
"What's that?" I asked looking at the needle in mums hand.
"This will bring down his fever." Abby said
"Hold him down!" Abby shouted as Lincoln struggled.
"What's happening? Why isn't it working?" Octavia asked
"His heart's stopped." Abby said
"You're their healer. Tilt his head back. Pull his chin down to open his airway." Abby said To Nyko
"Come on..." Breathlessly trying to make Lincoln's heart start with Cpr.
"You're stopping." I said sadly.
"What's wrong?" Octavia asked
"I'm sorry.He's gone." Abby said
"NO, it's not possible. You're wrong!" Octavia said holding Lincoln in her arms.m
"Octavia..." Bellamy said
"Come back..." Octavia Whispers brokenly
"I'll kill them all." I heard a voice behind me
"Please. You don't have to do this." Clarke said
"You lied, and you're out of time." One of the other people Clarke was with said
"No. You might be ready to give up on him, but I'm not" I said looking at my mum determined. I walked over to where a taser was, picked it up and shot the electricity into Lincoln's chest.
"Hit him again." Clarke said when nothing happened and I hit him again. I heard him breathe
"Lincoln..." Octavia whispers
" Octavia..." He said back. I smiled.

Monty's pov
"If Alpha's on the ground, maybe other stations are, too." Miller said
"You're from Alpha, right?" I asked Miller
"My dad was Chief Guard. He sure loved having a thief for a kid."
"Hey. You're a great thief. These are the engineering schematics for this whole place. There's a way out? I'm gonna find out."
"Guys Harper didn't show for breakfast. You guys seen her?" Jasper asked walking in the room.
"Not since Dante's office" miller said
"So where the hell is she?" I asked.

Dr Tsing's pov
"P-Please...no, please...please...." Harper begs me
"Don't worry. This won't hurt." I cut into Harper's flesh with a scalpel
"The hip has the largest marrow pocket. We'll begin the aspiration there —" I said to cage
"I don't need to know the details. Just do it." Cage said
"Your father will come around, Cage." I said
"And what if he doesn't?" Cage asked
"I just want to go home." Harper said
"I know.So do we" Cage said. I go back to my work on harder
"Please...I just want to go —" she said in a whimper

Clarke's pov
"Lincoln's recovery was... Impressive. No one's ever survived such a fate before." Lexa said
"It's not complicated, really. We just have to keep them alive long enough for the drug to leave their system. I know we can do that same for others." I said
"You may have your truce." Lexa said
"Thank you." I said
"I just need one thing in return." Lexa said
"Tell me." I said
"Deliver me the one you call Finn. Our truce begins with his death." Lexa said
