"He doesn't want me to see them does he?"

Sawyer looked up confused at Octavia's words, she continued to place the medicine on Octavia's arm "what are you talking about?"

"The twins, he doesn't want me to be around my own niece and nephew because he is afraid of what I have become" Sawyer shook her head in denial "No, Octavia trust me, that has nothing to do it with that and all to do with the fact that we are nervous to bring the twins around people. We don't want to take the chance of them being hurt just for someone to get back at us"

"They're beautiful kids, look just like you guys" Octavia said, Sawyer smiled "the infection's passing. But this is gonna hurt. Are you sure you don't want Jackson?"

Octavia shook her head "Jackson's tending to Indra and the others in medbay. Just do it" Sawyer nodded and poured the alchol onto her wound. Octavia breathed out the pain

"Claudia's a big fan. They've heard every story about the girl under the floor who saved the human race and is their aunt"

Octavia smiled

The door opened breaking their conversation "Ready to move?" Kara questioned. Sawyer shook her head "she needs another day's rest"

"She needs to be with her people" Kara corrected

Octavia sighed "I'm done licking my wounds. Let's go remind the others what we promised them"

Kara lifted Octavia's jacket off her desk, she placed it over her shoulders before leaving. Sawyer let out a break, she cleaned off the table

Sawyer stepped out from the bunker. She stared confused at the sight of Bellamy, the twins and Echo speaking to Octavia and Kara. She rushed over not wanting her kids to be involved in an argument

"What is she doing here?" Octavia questioned glaring at Echo

Sawyer stood next to Octavia, the twins faces lit up smiling at her, Sawyer smiled and motioned her hand in a 'come here' motion. The kids nodded rushing over to her

It was raining quite hard making her nervous about the wet kids becoming sick

She smiled lifting Noah into her arms and holding Claudia close to her leg. "I just wanted to thank you for saving my people" Echo said nervously

"They're not your people. Azgeda is a memory. There is only Wonkru, and there is no place in it for you!"

Sawyer was nervous that a whole argument would break out. She doesn't even know why Bellamy would be testing Octavia at a time like this "I know you two have history, but Echo is on our side. She proved herself dozens of times on the ring"

"Mommy look it Aunty Octavia" Sawyer nodded smiling at Noah's excitment

"This isn't the ring" Octavia began slowly circling around as she spoke to her people "Wonkru! I banished this murderer from the bunker six years ago. My judgement still stands" Everyone was looking at the group

"O-"

"Bellamy stop" Sawyer warned shaking her head

"She has 24 hours. If she's still here by then, she fights in the arena" Octavia and Kara walked away. Bellamy needed to just push her buttons "I'll be right back" he said looking to Echo before turning and walking after them

"Bellamy stop it!" Sawyer scolded walking behind him, Claudia's tiny hand holding hers

"Octavia! Octavia, stop. It was six years ago. You just can't cast her out. She won't survive"

The sound of a horn made everyone stop. "Diyoza's ship" Octavia whispered. Sawyer's eyes widened, everyone began running around trying to get back to the bunker as the horn continued to sound
