A/N: This was an accident I swear, but I was really unhappy with the finale because it didn't feel like closure for me. I know some might disagree and I respect that, but I still firmly believe that Lexa deserved better. So, I was bored today and started scribbling in a notebook and this happened. Let me know what you think? xx

After Octavia walked from the room, everyone stood in shock for a few moments, before Clarke coughing diverted their attention.

Helping her back down into the Commander's throne, Abby gently pushed Clarke's hair back from her face, "Are you ok?" She asked worriedly, carefully removing the tubes from Clarke's arm to free her.

Clarke nodded breathlessly, "I think so, I just didn't realize how hard that would be. I don't know what would have happened it L- If the Flame hadn't have protected me."

Abby looked down at where the little chip was clasped in Clarke's hand, "What I don't understand is how you knew the Flame would protect you. What could it possibly do besides give you access to the City of Light?"

"The Flame did not protect her," A voice called from the doorway, where someone had slipped in unnoticed in the confusion of the worry over Clarke, "I did."

Clarke froze as she stared into her mothers eyes, her breath catching in her throat. Taking a deep breath she slowly turned her head to face what every other person in the room was already staring at.

"Lexa?" She breathed out, staring at the girl who was leaning against the door frame with a smirk playing across her lips, wearing a simple pair of trousers and a long tunic which was tied off at the waist with a plain black belt.

"Did I not say that I would always be with you Clarke?" Lexa smiled, as she walked slowly towards Clarke, neither of them seeing anything but the other person as Lexa dropped to her knees at the bottom of the steps up to the throne.

"Ai badan yu klin, Clarke kom Skaikru. Ai swega yu klin na gouba raun bilaik yu gafen laik ai gafen. En yu kru laik ai kru."

She said softly, repeating the vow she had sworn to Clarke after her fight with Roan, speaking in Trigedasleng to make this moment solely theirs, all but a few of those present understanding none of what she was saying, as many of the grounders had already left the room.

Kane was one of the few who understood, even though he only really understood a little, and his eyes widened as he suddenly questioned just how close the two of them had been.

Clarke stood up and held her hand out, helping Lexa to her feet before placing the chip in Lexa's hand, "Heda." She murmured quietly, as Lexa raised the Flame to her mouth and whispered the activation, pulling her hair aside and placing it back where it belonged. Clarke steadied her as she swayed with the stinging pain of it.

When she stood firm again she smiled at Clarke brightly, her eyes flicking down to Clarke's lips, but she made no move to kiss her, aware that Clarke's people were watching the exchange with various levels of confusion. None more than Bellamy who was staring at them quizzically.

Clarke noticed Lexa's hesitation and a pure, genuine laugh echoed through the room before she seized hold of Lexa's collar and pulled her forwards, crashing their lips together desperately.

In the City of Light there had been no warmth when she touched Lexa's skin, the simulation not having felt the need to include that detail. But now she felt it as the heat rose in Lexa's cheeks and she felt her warm breath as she pulled back from the kiss and leaned their foreheads together for a moment before wrapping her arms around Clarke's shoulders and pulling her close, no longer caring who was their to witness.

Bellamy felt jealousy flare up in his chest but he shoved it down immediately, he was all too aware of how dangerous the Commander could be, it was far safer to not challenge her for Clarke no matter how much he might want to.

Abby and Kane exchanged looks, but kept quiet as Lexa released Clarke and moved to her throne, maintaining her grip on Clarke's hand as she sat down.

"You have all destroyed my city in my absence." She said sternly, addressing the whole room, "Now you will help me restore it."
