"Bellamy'd be ashamed if he could see you now. Condemning a child."

With a loud bang on the door Nate struggled to pry open rubble falls with an obnoxious bang. Behind it, rick. An entire entrance filled with a haunting amount of sediment. One glance at it and I feel my gut twisting with anxiety. Catching Nate's eye, he seems to share my same fear. "We can get to them right Ave?" Nate motions through the kicked-up dust and soot from the explosion "We can get this cleared."
"My lab is on the third level", I shake my head staring behind him at the dense rock "We remove that we could break the integrity of the entire structure."
"And if we clear a small passage downwards?"
"My point still stands", I shrug off Indra's unhelpful question "Structure will destabilize, the weaker points will worsen and the entire bunker could go collapsing down on them." Looking glancing over my shoulder at the uneasy looks I'm receiving, I remind them "You remember this use to be my job on the Ark... right?"
Clarke doesn't seem to be deterred by my warning, pulling out a vile "We can still get to Madi." Squinting I notice three green pills. Geo-Tags. I recognise them from my training. They work similarly to the knife Hope had brought years ago to Sanctum. Pop a cap and you're transported through.
Quickly, Gaia wraps her hand around the pills Clarke empties into her hand "We have to think this through."
"Gaia is right" Octavia crosses the room, determination fuelling her stride "Only the second pill is for me." All eyes darting towards her, Octavia makes sense to reason "We're going to need an inside man." Levitt. Of course. Pursing my lips I nod along understandably. It's a smart play.
"Good" Clarke agrees, handing over the second pills to Octavia who doesn't hesitate to take it "Let's do it."
"Not to ask the obvious" Jordon voices uneasily "But who gets the third?"
It wasn't even a question. Not to my friends, to me, or to Clarke. Her blue eyes flickering to meet mine I slowly bring my arms up to stubbornly cross over my chest. "Avery", Clarke doesn't tiptoe around it "I need your help."
