"Bellamy?" Octavia's familiar voice filtered from outside as Bellamy opened the door to the reaper tunnels. The siblings embraced and Taya stepped out, seeing Clarke.

"Clarke." Taya smiled and stepped forward to hug the girl. Something about that mountain had caused Taya to appreciate everyone just a tiny bit more.

However, as she hugged Clarke, she got a good view of what was behind her, and her mind reminded her of the memory of her on her knees, sitting there and then the process of being let in.

Taya quickly pulled away and turned away so she didn't have to remember it anymore.

"I knew it. You two are too scrawny to kill." Octavia greeted Jasper and Monty.

"And you, too badass." Octavia turned to Taya and the two hugged with a laugh.

Then Maya crept out.

"It's all right. She's with us." Jasper tried to calm Octavia down who pointed her sword at her.

"Where's your army?" Bellamy asked Clarke, walking over.

"Gone. Just like yours. Say you have a plan." Clarke begged, looking between Taya and Bellamy.

"Not really. We need to talk to Dante. Maya says he's in quarantine." Bellamy said.

Jasper and Monty cut off the conversation as they rushed to hug their savior. Until Maya's tank started to beep.

"Three minutes. We just changed it. That can't be right. Um... It's her last tank." Jasper informed everyone fearfully.

"Okay, we'll find you another one." Clarke reassured her.

"All the supplemental oxygen is on Level Five." Maya shook her head.

"Then we have to get you to Level Five." Jasper decided.

"Five isn't safe for any of us." Maya objected.

"We'll take the trash chute again. It'll work." Jasper pressed.

"To get in maybe. But Maya's right, every solider in this mountain is there. We'll never make it out." Bellamy said.

"We can do this. We'll split up." Jasper said.

"Okay. You guys go for Dante. We'll help Maya." Octavia said, unsheathing her sword and linking arms with Jasper, setting forward.

"Hello, Clarke." Dante said as the four entered the room.

"Sir, we need your help again." Bellamy said formally.

"It's okay. I took out the camera from the junction box in the hall. We can talk freely." Monty reassured the old man.

"No one's watching anyway. Thanks to you, they're all on Level Five." Dante accused.

"Not you. You've been treated, haven't you?" Taya's tone was clearly unfriendly so Bellamy held out his hand to tell her to stop.

"Please. We don't have much time. We need a way to get our people out without killing everyone." Bellamy pleaded.

"He's not gonna help us." Clarke realized.

"You cut the power, risking the lives of everyone is his mountain, my people, even the ones who helped you." Dante growled.

"We knew they'd be safe on Level Five. We made sure not to destroy the turbines so you could repair them. We're the good guys here, not you." Clarke's voice rose in anger and mainly frustration.

"Tell me, if we released your people and theirs, what would have happened to mine?" Dante asked rhetorically.

"What should have been your fate a long time ago." Taya's voice was hard and emotionless.
