With an eventful and peaceful night came a calming sleep like neither had before. It was quiet, and tranquil. After all the bad from the previous day it seemed their morning would turnover a new leaf. Or at least one would think. As the couple lies peacefully and entangled together in sleep a large boom burst from the sky. Clarke is on high alert and the first to look for danger. Bellamy reaches for his pistol before another burst comes from above. One glance between each other and they quickly grab their clothes and dress to leave and find the source of loud noise. When they do they see a enormous structure of metal falling from the sky.
The Ark was home.
"Oh my God..." Bellamy whispers before taking off in the direction of the falling Ark station. Clarke furrows her brow and hesitates at the object hurtling towards the ground before following him further into the trees.
The pair jump back when it impacts the ground, the Ark finally landing. "B-Bellamy?" Clarke whispers from behind him, her voice filled with concern. He glance to her with his own concern before nodding his head in the direction of the crash. "Maybe we should go back. We don't know what we're walking into." Bellamy nods in understanding, knowing she was right but sighs as his eye glides back to metal in the sky.
"I know but... it didn't crash like the exodus ship. There could be people hurt, Clarke." She looks to him and sees sincere worry. Bellamy was never the person to be able to walk away if innocent blood is spilled. With a huff she goes along with him.
The Ark is only a few miles from where the pair were, making it easier to find. The large metal structure comes into view by a lake with mountains from afar. No one was outside yet but the station seemed to be intact. Bellamy holds out an arm, one Clarke brushes into when trying to go further ahead. One look and she understands- stay hidden- so they wait. Only a few minutes pass by before the doors fall and the people fill outside one by one. The first being a man Bellamy recognizes. Marcus Kane. Though Clarke doesn't take notice as her companion relaxes because her own defensives flare. Bellamy takes her hand in his own as he steps outside of the brush and shadows.
"Kane?" He calls out. As he does Kane jogs over towards the tree line.
"Bellamy Blake." He chuckles before shaking his hand.
Bellamy may have many things against the council and their decisions, but Marcus Kane wasn't one of them. Kane was the only one who fought to forgive Octavia's crime of being a second child. He was the only one who understood she didn't choose this life, her life, but Chancellor Rhodes had disagreed. Rhodes had killed Aurora Blake and locked up Octavia without so much as a fair trial. And now karma has taken its claim on the man's life.
"What happened, sir? The exodus ship crashed landed. We thought there was no one left."
"Diana Sydney betrayed us all. She started a revolution and bombed on Unity day. It led to a lot of chaos and uh... I'm unhappy to say Chancellor Rhodes was killed in the mishap. The bombs were why we lost communication for so long. After the fact... we nearly lost all oxygen. If it wasn't for Sinclair we wouldn't be here." He points behind his shoulder people were coming out of the station and looking at their surrounding. Sinclair among them.
Its when he turns his head back towards Bellamy that he notices someone he hadn't met before. A strange blonde close to his side and somewhat shielded behind him. He reaches out his hand but she steps back wearily, her gaze dancing between his hand, his face, and his people.
"Its okay, Princess. He's the one Raven talked to on the radio. You know, the talking metal box." He quotes her, trying to make her laugh, but she doesn't she glances at him, a small tug at her lips before her gaze falls on Kane again. Steel taking over.
