"I repeat, this is Raven. I am on Earth. Get me Abby or Jaha on the Radio. Now." I say sharply feeling anxious and worry run through me at the thought of innocent people dying.

"You are breaking up, the channel is glitching." A distorted voice says back. "Repeat."

"Either put Abby or Jaha on the Mother fucking radio for me or I'm going to rebuild the fucking pod and get up there just to kick all of your fucking asses. Put. One. Of. Them. On. NOW." I say back sharply, making sure to punctuate every word before I let go of the button and wait for a response, there are innocent lives at stake here.

I know it's not The Arks fault for the broken up signal, but I am a bit frustrated at the moment. The others are looking at me all wide eyed, as if they haven't seen anyone cuss someone out in frustration before. Finn however looks a bit amused and shocked. Bellamy is seems to just be curious, Clarke on the other hand looks unfazed, perhaps she is feeling the same as me then? Stressed and annoyed.

Geesh, I raise an eyebrow at them and they glance away. Well, kind of, Bellamy and Finn don't. This is kind of life and death for like three-hundred people or something like that so I think I'm allows me to be a little bit snappy.

"What?" I snap back at them, annoyed because of their stares. "I'll fucking do it, who cares if I don't remember how? I'll fucking do it and then I'll blow those bastards up."

"Raven, Raven is that you?" I hear a relieved female voice say through the radio just as Bellamy rolls his eyes and turns around, walking out of the drop ship.

With a sigh I push down the button so I can answer her, "Yes Darling, 'tis is I."

"Oh, thank god!" Abby says happily, it's still glitchy and distorted though, unfortunately.

"They haven't been slaughtered yet right?" I ask her urgently, that would really piss me off. Unnecessary death is something that has always pissed me off.

"No, no, they're all alive. Thank god." She replies with relief sounding heavily in her voice.

That's when Jaha begins speaking to us, "You contacted us just in time. Raven, is the earth survivable?"

"Well yeah, as long as no one kills you, then it's all fine and dandy Captain." I mutter back as i glance at Clarke and hand the radio over to her.

Standing up after she grabs it I leave the dropship feeling the need to do something to keep busy.

Jaha will probably just ask Clarke about Wells, that poor kid. Honestly, I liked Wells, he was well rounded and friendly.

Walking around the drop ship curiously I ignore Finn who has taken to following me around. Stopping after I'm surrounded by trees I look up at the sky only to see how dark it's gotten, though I gotta say the stars do look really nice up there.

"I love the stars!" I say happily as I look at the Big Dipper, lifting my hand up I trace it with my finger.

In confusion and full fo curiosity Finn asks me "What are you doing?"

Glancing up at him I shrug and point at it again "See that dot there and that one, then the other one? All the way this way?"

"Yeah, so? It looks kind of like a spoon, I guess." He mutters as he stands right behind me, his body brushing uncomfortably against mine as his chin moves to rest on my shoulder.

Taking a few steps away from him I shrug "That is called the Big Dipper. It's a constellation."

"Hey Finn, have you seen my sister?" Bellamy asks fine worriedly, anxiety and fear are the most expressive on his face.
