A/N: since I've been unable to write any new ones, you guys get to read all the one shots I hated or wrote at 2AM
      
"Normally, the trouble you caused, I'd shoot you and toss you overboard. But I'm genuinely impressed. First you organize these idiot kids into a fighting force, and kill two of my most experienced soldiers. Then you sneak onto my boat in the cover of a herd? I bring a prize like you back to delta, it might make this whole clusterfuck of a mission worth it. Someone like you, so young, with so much potential...You're far too valuable to kill."

Clementine's gaze hardened. If Lily wanted her, then perhaps she could bargain for it. "Look, if I'm the one you want, let the others go."

Lily's head tilted. "Let me get this straight; let the others go, and you stay to fight?"

"That's what I said, isn't it?"

Lily watched Clementine with a cautious gaze, thoroughly expecting her to be kidding. "You'd give your life to save those you love?"

"I'd give it twice if that's what it takes,"
          
The woman's head lifted. "...Dorian unlock their cells. Minerva, help her."

"Yes, ma'am."

"What-" Violet's heart fell as the bolt to her door was lifted. "Clem, no! Are you insane?!"

"I'm not leaving you!" AJ growled, hands balled at his sides.

"You. Go with the others. Now." Lily instructed, keeping her gun aimed at Clementine while pointing to Louis. The mutilated boy scurried to his feet, half crawling into the hallway.

"Clementine, you can't be serious!"

"Dorian? Take them to the dock. Make sure they don't try anything. They're going home."

"Clementine!"

"AJ, go! Listen to Violet!" Clementine ordered, glancing around Lily.

"I'm not going either! Get your hands OFF me! Clementine-" "-Louis, take her!" Clementine interrupted, watching the boy grab her.

"Clementine- NO!"

"Violet, lets go! We can come back for her later!"

"She won't be here later! Aasim- Get- Clementine!"

Clementine stared after her struggling girlfriend with tear filling eyes. "Take care of AJ. Please."

"Clementine-" Violet glanced down as Louis wrapped his arms around her waist, picking her up and moving. "No- NO! Let go of me! Clementine- You promised! Clementine!"

"I'm sorry..."

"Clementine! Louis! Get off of me! What the HELL is WRONG with you?! Get- Louis! Louis- stop!"

As the voice of her girlfriend faded down the hallway, along with Dorian's figure, Clementine found a sick feeling in her stomach.

"Hey." She glanced up as the cell door shut, meeting ice blue eyes. "Welcome aboard."
