"And we all know she's just going to sneak onboard anyway. Right?"
"I'm anything if not consistent."

"Can you see it? Is it beautiful? It is in my dreams. I hope we do better there. I hope your lives there will be as happy as mine has been... Be the good guys. May we meet again."
Seeing those we've woken hum 'may we meet again', I duck my head and wipe another stray tear which has fallen down my cheeks. Clarke, Bellamy and I decided they needed to see and hear this message too. To see Monty and Harper's life together, to understand what had happened and where we now are. Honestly, I just don't think the three of us wanted to rehash it. I certainly didn't. I'd spent ten minutes on this bridge crying my eyes raw from both joy and grief. Showing them the video- Abby, Murphy, Emori, Echo, Raven, Shaw- it's just easier.
As silence settles over the bridge I can understand the mixed feelings hanging around in the air. Bellamy must've also sensed this because quietly he mentions "I know this is a lot to process. Take an hour. We'll meet in the mess. We need to game this out."
Everyone remaining quiet, Clarke hopefully interjects "Guys we survived. Monty made sure of it."
"Now we get our humanity back", Abby whispers echo through the bridge.
Not a second later, Raven grimly comments "Some of us never lost it." Spinning on her heel, Raven marches towards the door of the bridge.
Not because I was defending Abby, more so myself, I throw over my shoulder at Raven "How lucky to be given the choice." Hearing her boots pause I peer over my shoulder quick enough to see her hard gaze snap to me before she continues in her stride out of the room.
When a heavy silence falls back over the room at my comment, Bellamy reminds everyone "One hour."
As our friends begin to murmur, Abby spins around and stresses to me "Thank you Aver-"
"Don't thank me", I mutter grimly to Abby. Arms folded I give her a stern shake of my head "The only reason I haven't thrown you into an airlock and hit eject is strictly because you can save Kane and you're our most qualified doctor." Seeing her stare at me with wide brown eyes, I tell her "You wake Kane up because I have a hell of alot to say to that man for saving your ass in the fighting pit." With that I brush past Clarke's confused and stunned gaze and slide straight through the whole someone has blasted into the bridge doors. I manage to escape down a few corridors before Bellamy's caught up to me.
