"I don't care how you make it happen, Clarke, bring her to me in chains and I'll do it for you, or she can surrender herself. But your red queen doesn't seem like the type"

"Let us worry about that" Clarke said shaking her head

"We have an understanding then"

"We do"

"Good. Call me back when it's done and we can work out the details of your crossing. Over and out"

"No way" Bellamy and Sawyer both say in sync "Bellamy-" Clarke started only to be cut off

"We are not killing my sister, Clarke!"

"We are killing Octavia?" Claudia screamed waking up all of a sudden. Peta quickly covered her mouth, widening her eyes in shock. "I don't care how crazy she is. Run the loop. The rover's charged. We're getting our friends"

"That was reckless and stupid. We had a plan. You agreed and now you just waltz in here and screw everything up!" Sawyer yelled

"That was before Octavia made Madi her second!" Everyone's heads turned to Clarke "that army marches to war as soon as they find out the eye is down. I can't let that happen"

"So we don't tell anyone?" Harper questioned confused at the flip flopping plans. "They'll know as soon as we drive away" Monty denied

"Who cares? We grab Madi, and we go" Cole said standing up, he walked over to the table where everyone gathered around. "Cole, she's by her side!"

"She's my sister, Clarke"

"I know. Tell me what else to do" Clarke said desperately. "We stop the war" Monty says. "How?" Peta asked annoyed "Algae" Monty says pulling out a container. Bellamy groaned in annoyance "Monty-"

"Kaya already gave me permission to show what it can do. She's meeting me before the afternoon so I can take her to the-"

"That's enough" Bellamy said shaking his head, he snatched the bottle from Monty's hand. "Hey, give it back!"

"Monty stop! Ok, Bellamy's right. Kara's worse than Octavia. No offense. Besides the first batch put Murphy in a coma for almost a week. By the time it's ready to eat-" Peta yelled

"The first culture" Monty corrected "and we're not gonna eat it this time. We're gonna feed it to the plants. If I can make the farm viable again, then we'll still have a chance"

"Guys! Enough with the arguing ok. We lasted 6 years on the ark and raised 2 children you really think we can't figure this out too?-"

The door opened making everyone turn. Octavia Kara and 3 guards walked in Atlas being one of them making Sawyer choke on her own saliva "the spy did her job?" she questioned looking at the screen. Sawyer turned and walked over to the couch where the kids laid on

She lifted Claudia into her arms and allowed Noah to lean on her "Mommy is that Atlas?" Noah asked pointing. "Don't point Noah"

"He has to run a loop to mask our troop movements. When the time comes, we need to clear the surface to reduce the risk of anyone noticing the same people moving in the same direction again and again"

"Well done, Monty. Load the worms into the rover and mobilize the army. War is here!" Octavia said evily before walking out

"How could you do this Atlas" Cole said hurt, Atlas avoided eye contact with the boy that another version of him once had seen as a little brother. "Your a coward!" Cole continued

Atlas stared straight ahead showing no reaction before turning and walking out. On the inside he had questioned if Cole meant the words he said and if he would take it back the second he realized that the 'coward' took care of his father for 6 years
