"When have I ever been wrong-"
"Rover One's hatch"
"It should've opened upwards. I stand by that."

Unscrewing the grate on the vent in my lab I toss it to the side with a loud bang. Climbing awkwardly atop my lab bench I try to peer inside, stood on the tiptoes of my feet. The vent is still a whole two heads higher up meaning to maneuverer myself inside will be a little trickier than what I'd originally hoped. Bellamy left a couple of minutes ago to disperse the poisonous algae to Octavia and the only thing making me feel less guilty is knowing she will wake up in perfect condition. I wish it'd never come to this but Octavia has grown out of control. If we let her enter this war with Diyoza we're lost.
"What are you doing?"
Slowly rolling my head around, I notice Madi watching me rather expectantly from her position at my feet. Dropping my hands down to my side I wonder "How much has Clarke really told you about me? Be honest."
Raising her eyebrow, Madi motions towards me "Enough to know you don't climb into air vents for fun." When I continue to stare down at her Madi rattles off "You climbed in them after you beat a guard to death, to break Bellamy out of Arkadia, when you snuck through Mount Weather-"
"Point taken", crouching down I smugly question Madi, "I think a better question is what're you doing here?"
Now it's Madi's turn to go silent, her eyes flickering between me and the open grate. When I continue to stare her down unwaveringly Madi finely relinquishes with a heavy sigh "I've been trying to get in and see Clarke. Nobody is letting me."
Humming, I give her a knowing nod "You may be Octavia's second but I've been at this game way longer than you little one." When Madi continues to stare I nod into the vent "Bellamy and I are taking care of her despite the conspiracy charges Octavia's struck against her. I'm going to go see Clarke now. Let her know what's happening since I've also been banned from the room."
"Let me come with you", Madi eagerly pleads, planting her hands either side of the workbench I'm stood on "I need to see Clarke. This has to be a mistake."
