Becca's Lab
Jackson "This is Becca's main research lab, but there are 5 other levels."
Clarke " Incredible."
Abby walked over to Clarke "God, it's really you."
Jackson "I'll go check on Raven and Luna."
Abby "Where's Roan?"
Clarke "He's unloading the fuel with the others. I just needed to see my mom. "
Abby "Don't punish yourself. Going to space was at best a long shot. "
Clarke" It was the only shot we had." "
I saw someone's brain x ray on the monitor " Is that Raven? "
Abby "She's sedated in the bio lab. She had another seizure. "
Clarke" Is that...? "
Abby nodded "An ischemic stroke. "
Clarke "Well, that means it can heal, right? "
Abby "Yes. As long as she takes it easy, she'll recover. She's almost as stubborn as you are. "
Clarke "And you? How are you feeling? "
Abby" I'm fine. "
Clarke sighed "Mom, I spoke to Jackson. He doesn't think you're fine. When was the last time you slept? "
Abby Oh, I'll sleep soon enough, one way or another.v
Abby looked at something.
Clarke" What is that? "
Abby "It's bone marrow. Luna's. A theory that Jackson and I agreed should remain untested. "
Clarke "What theory? "
Abby" We can't create Nightblood unless we go to space. But Luna can. Theoretically, we can inject ourselves with her bone marrow. "
Clarke "Then we become Nightbloods. Will it work? "
Abby nodded" I think so. "
Clarke asked confused " Then why'd you take it off the table? "
Abby" Because the only way to know if it works is to test it, and that would mean... "
Clarke "Exposing someone to radiation. Can we do that here? "
Abby nodded "Yes. Becca was trying to find a cure for cancer using this radiation chamber. Clarke... we would have to expose a human being to enough radiation that would implode every single cell in their body. That's what's coming for us.
Clarke " I know that, but you just said it. We have no choice".
Abby shook her head " No. We have to make a choice. "
Clarke "Who do we test? "
Jackson "Emori, hey."
We looked up. Emori was looking down from the railing.
Emori "I'm heading up to the house. Does anyone want anything while I'm up there? "
Abby shook her head " No, we're fine. Thanks, Emori. Hold on. Honey, you should go with her. "
Clarke " No. I just got here. I want to be here with you and help. "
Abby "There is nothing for you to help me with right now. It'll be 5 hours before the samples are even ready to be tested. Ok. Go, take a shower, and we'll figure this out when you get back. Go. "
Clarke nodded "Ok."
Jackson "I'll lower the drones. "
