"What makes you think I even want to ask?"
"Because it's my sixth sense to know when you want to say something. Remember?"

"So" the woman speaks up with a friendly expression pointed towards Octavia "I take it you're his sister?"
"Yes, sorry" Bellamy quickly catches himself. Stepping back I don't slink too far behind Octavia, "Octavia this is Colonel Diyoza."
"Cornel?" Octavia questions her unsurely.
The woman has no such doubt "Use to be. Love the war paint by the way." Her curious gaze flickers to me behind Octavia, "Where do you fit into all this?"
For a second I wait for Bellamy to claim me as his girlfriend, how things use to be. Although when he remains quiet under Diyoza's stare I feel myself grow uneasy. Sparing a glance over to Bellamy I notice his gaze quickly shift to the floor, averted and uncomfortable. It's his tell. Something is up... shifted. Deciding to ask about it later, I introduce myself "Avery Armelle. Greatest engineer to live, kick-ass fighter and an overall firecracker."
I watch a tight smile form on her lips "Smarter than the girl who's hacked us out of our own ship's programs?"
"Raven", I familiarly breathe out with a small chuckle "I mean... that's up to personal opinion."
She watches me for a moment longer before Bellamy is asking "So how do we do this?"
"Two at a time", Diyoza responds curtly with a nod before glancing around to those who are looking on from the ramps "Why don't you people get your things and we'll get started as soon as we're ready topside?"
For a long second, nobody moves and I can almost laugh at Diyoza when her expression drops. Instead, I settle for a smirk. She must've thought she could just waltz in and take command. If she did she thought wrong. Octavia glances up and gives everyone a small nod silently telling them to follow the instruction. Slowly, they all peel away, shuffling off to collect their things. When I look carefully between Bellamy, Diyoza and the strange man, their confusion over the matter doesn't pass me by. Especially Bellamy's. I'm sure he no doubt has a thousand questions on how his sister fits into this all.
