FALO'S POD WAS ACTIVATED AND SHE WOKE UP. She sat up and looked around the room to see who awoke her. When she looked at the spot where Clarke was before her sleep, a young and unrecognizable man had taken her spot, a man that she didn't expect to be there.
Intruder, was all Falo could think.
But then she hesitated when she took the man in. There was a sense of familiarity about the man — black hair with some blond, brown eyes; similar to Monty's, and a smile; similar to Harper's.
Falo squinted her eyes at him, carefully swinging her legs over the bed. He opened his mouth to speak as she stood up, catching him by surprise when she flipped him over on the ground, letting out a groan. Falo sat down on him, wrapping her hands around his throat, a glare on her face.
"Who are you?" Falo hissed, her hand squeezing his throat. "How did you get on the ship?"
"Falo, uh- Commander Falo. . . I-I-I'm Jordan," his tone was full of terror. Falo stared him directly in the eyes, narrowing them at the boy. Reluctantly, she let go of him and stood up once she realized he was no threat to them. She whirled around and looked for her friends to see if they were awake themselves.
She suddenly winced in pain, given the reminder of her wound from ten years ago, thanks to the Eligius prisoners who were thought she was going to kill, but she wasn't until they shot at her.
Jordan stepped forward to check on her, but she pushed him back towards the wall. "Where's my daughter and Clarke?!"
"Mom and dad always told me stories about you," Jordan blurted out. "I always expected you to attack to defend yourself when I awoke you, and I guess I forgot after all these years."
Falo laughed, holding up her hands. "Sorry, but I don't remember boarding any children on here except for Madi. . . how did you get on the ship?"
"Jordan!" A voice called from the end of the hallway. Falo turned her head to see Clarke jogging down. "We told you not to wake her or Echo first," Clarke noticed how tense the atmosphere was when she walked into the cryo room. "Falo, don't worry. He's harmless."
"Oh," Falo nodded and let Jordan go. She trusted Clarke's judgment more than anything else in the entire world.
Happiness washed over Falo, causing her to walk over to Clarke and crash her lips onto Clarke's, the two of them swaying side to side as they kissed. Falo's fingers pressed into Clarke's cheeks, her thumbs on her neck as Clarke's hands were cupping the side of her face.
They pulled away. "Where is Madi?"
"She's still asleep," she began. Falo furrowed her eyebrows. "Wake up Raven, Shaw, Murphy and Echo?" she asked, turning away to leave.
"Okay."
Clarke stopped. She threw her head over her shoulder. "By the way, we'll explain everything later."
