Author's Note: I'm back and with a new chapter! So I just graduated college and now that I have more free time I intend on finishing this story before starting my new one. I think that in either two or three chapters this story will be done. Thank you for supporting this story since it began and I don't know what to feel about this thursday's episode.

Polis, 2150

Clarke had felt the moment Lexa stood up from the bed. She had also felt the older woman grab her dagger and wait for the door outside to be opened. Immediately on alert as well because she knew the brunette never exaggerated, Clarke also moved up and prepared herself to aid Lexa if needed. When the door opened and the cloaked woman entered the room, because of her frame and physique she had to be one, Clarke heard Lexa hiss. Believing that the stranger was also prepared for the attack, the blonde woman stood up from the bed with one of Lexa's swords, determined to not let anyone take the Heda away from her. Nevertheless, the moment she saw the cloaked woman enter the room, Heda took her dagger and placed it near the person's neck.

It seemed that after all Lexa was not going to need her help.

"Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now." Lexa hissed angrily and the strange woman chuckled.

Clarke looked up the moment she did because that sound was one she knew very well. It did not occur much, but when it did the melody had become ingrained in her mind. She knew to whom this laugh belonged to. She threw the sword to the floor in complete shock.

"Because if you do." the strange woman started and Lexa also moved away from her. "I know one very pissed SkaiHeda that will kill you too." she finished while taking her cloak off.

"It can't be." Lexa whispered while staring at her own reflection.

"But it is." older Lexa said while also looking at herself. "I look good." she joked softly. Her stare then went towards Clarke. "By the Spirit, Clarke!" she choked out while getting closer. "You look so young." she whispered with complete awe. "And yet your eyes tell stories that my own wife still has not come to know."

"Your wife..." Clarke whispered and then she also got close to the older Lexa. "Is she alright? Please tell me she returned to you."

"She returned home." older Lexa smiled softly. "Worried about you two and desperate to let you know that there is hope." she then looked at her younger self. "We can be happy."

Younger Lexa just stared, completely speechless and relieved. Seeing her older self and hearing that the other Clarke was alive and well did give her hope. It made her believe yet again that good people got rewarded for doing what was right. That life couldn't be so cruel as to punish the innocent and reward the guilty. That the Spirit would honor the promise it made her when she took the Flame; when she sacrificed her own life and happiness for the one of her people. When it promised her that it was all going to be worth it, that it was all going to be rewarded and that she would be complete. At first she had believed that the Coalition was the Spirit's gift, and that peace and everlasting collaboration between the clans was going to be her legacy. But she had interpreted things wrong. She now knew that the Spirit was talking about Clarke, the girl that fell from the Sky and became the woman of her heart. The one that grounded her and reminded her of her lost humanity. The one that reminded her of her path; the path of everlasting peace. The one that always believed in the good of her people and her. The one that forgave her after breaking her heart. The one that is going to stand by her side and not betray her. The one that taught her that love was not weakness. Her Wanheda. Her tenia keryon. The future mother of her child. Her Clarke.

"We can be happy." younger Lexa agreed with a brilliant smile. "But first we need to fight and survive."

"That's why I'm here. To help and warn you." older Lexa explained seriously. "I'm not the only one from another time that has made it to your timeline." she explained.

"What do you mean?" Clarke asked confused.

"There is another Clarke in this timeline. That's why my Clarke had to return to our timeline. There cannot be two of the same in the same space." older Lexa replied carefully.

"But it must have been the chip. She collapsed the moment she took it."

"The chip wasn't what took her back. It was the Spirit."

"So the light after she took the chip was just a horrible coincidence?" Clarke asked sarcastically.

"Yes it was."

"Well that's fucking convenient."

"And why are we in danger of this other Clarke?" Lexa added while staring at her own Clarke.

"I would never hurt Lexa. You must know that." Clarke whispered.

"Of course I do." older Lexa said immediately. "But the problem is that your other self is not as sane as we would like her to be. She suffers from wamplei kom tenia keryon."

"It can't be." the blonde whispered while laying on the floor. She had heard many grounders speak of the illness and knew perfectly well what it was about. And if her other self had it then that meant that she had lost Lexa. She had failed to protect her.

Lexa simply stayed quiet, absorbing the morbid news given to her by another version of herself. She had died, and in the process she had left her soulmate all alone, suffering because of her carelessness and inability to stay alive. Wamplei kom tenia keryon was the worst kind of pain any person could suffer. Soulmates chose to die with each other rather than stay alive without the other. No one dared insult or prevent a couple from making this decision because of the level of intimacy tenia keryons shared. Their vow was sacred to her people and no one could disrespect it.

"I also didn't believe it when I first heard it." older Lexa whispered. "But it is true. And we must prepare for her to try to take you."

"Why does she want to take me? I don't understand." younger Lexa murmured.

"It must have something to do with the chip." Clarke realized. "Isn't it?"

"Yes. We believe that someone helped her to come here. Someone that has Ark tek and that truly wants to cause you harm."

"Could it be Jaha?" the blonde asked her Lexa. "It would make sense that just like in this reality, Jaha found this A.L.I.E and is making people take that chip. I believe that up until I saved you everything between that reality and ours was the same."

"How can you be so sure of that? Look at her reality." Lexa said while pointing at her older self. "She never betrayed her Clarke and because of that the future changed completely."

"Not completely ai hondes. They still killed Nia. Titus still betrayed her. Someone still tried to assassinate me. Octavia ends up hating me. Some things, although we try our best to prevent them from happening, are meant to occur no matter what. The paths may differ, but the destination is the same."

"And what is that destination?" she whispered.

Clarke smiled softly at her and grabbed her hand. "You and I fighting to survive. You and I being together in whatever fucked up way we can. My other self must be fighting for this just like we are."

"So what are you saying then?" older Lexa asked. "We just let her take Lexa away?"

"Of course not." Clarke said seriously. "No one will take Lexa from this reality because she's mine." she said vehemently. "But just like we have heard Clarke and you explain to us what has happened, don't you think she deserves the chance to be heard as well?"

"So you're gonna talk with her and convince her to stop her mission? She suffers from wamplei kom tenya keryon, she can't be reasoned with!" older Lexa moved around.

"Is that the level of faith you have in me and our love?" Clarke asked somberly.

"Of course not." the older brunette got close to Clarke and took her hands. "I just don't ever want you to experience the pain of losing the person you love." she then looked at Lexa. "You remember what it was like to lost Costia, right?"

The younger Lexa looked down but still nodded in confirmation.

"When Clarke fought against Ontari and was poisoned by Titus..." older Lexa started to explain. "There was a moment in which your mother was not sure if you would wake up. She didn't want to tell me that but I could see it in her eyes. And the moment I realized that there was the possibility of me losing you I lost myself. Life became meaningless. My mission as Heda became a joke, my people, I wanted to kill them all because of what they did to you. Your people, I wanted to see them gone because of how much they reminded me of you." she started crying. "Our room, I couldn't sleep in there because it smelled of you. I was inside of my own mind, remembering our times together, our fights, our nights, thinking of what we could have had. I was living through those memories and Indra had to take control of Polis because I refused to leave my room. I was going to die and join you on the next part of our journey." she said to Clarke surely. "But then Octavia told me that you were alive and I returned. I don't know how or why but the moment I heard you were awake everything came into perspective. I was ready to live when five minutes ago I was ready to die. And that never happened with Costia." she murmured while staring at her younger self.

"Oh Lexa." Clarke whispered with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry I put you through that pain."

"Don't be. I could never regret loving you." older Lexa smiled sadly. "But I could use a hug." she whispered.

"Of course ai hodnes." the blonde immediately hugged the older brunette and kissed her on the cheek lovingly. "Mochof. For loving me." she whispered to her.

"Pro." she whispered back and ended the hug, watching the way her younger self was still thinking about the things she had said. Things that not even her wife had ever heard her confess.

"You're afraid that Clarke is going to hurt me because you were ready to die instead of facing an existence without your wife." younger Lexa tried to understand.

"I'm afraid because I wanted to die the moment I thought Clarke had died. And yet we now know that her Lexa died and she's still coming here."

"So you're wondering why she's still alive and not dead." Clarke summarized.

"Yes." older Lexa said honestly.

"But that's easy to answer." the blonde smiled sadly at her. "If it would have been you the one that was poisoned and your wife the one left waiting. What would you have asked her to do?"

Older Lexa looked down in understanding.

"I would have asked you to stay alive. For our people. Because you have so much to give to the world and I don't deserve the sacrifice you would have taken." younger Lexa answered instead.

"You would have asked because you're that selfless Lexa." Clarke smiled sadly at them. "And I would have tried my best to honor your sacrifice and your word. I would have stayed alive until I knew our people were in good hands."

"So she's alive because things are not well in her reality. The Coalition must be in trouble." older Lexa said.

"And it must be Jaha and Pike who are preventing Kane from taking control of Arkadia." Clarke explained. "Just like it's happening here."

"But in this reality I'm alive." younger Lexa said. "That's what makes things different. Why she's coming here to get me."

"She plans to take you back to her time so she can be with you?" Clarke asked confused. "Why would she do that if she knows that the moment she dies she will join her Lexa?"

"Perhaps they promised her something in exchange of bringing this time's Lexa to her time." younger Lexa hypothesized.

"It must be connected to the chip and A.L.I.E. If she's involved then that means the City of Light is involved as well."

"The City of Light?" the older brunette asked confused.

"A place where it's said that there's no pain and suffering. We believe it's an effect of the chips Jaha is giving to the people of Arkadia and is affecting their brain."

"Clarke told me about that. She asked Abby about them and said it must be connected to their brains and that's why they don't feel pain." older Lexa said. "And the symbol is the same as mine so that timeline's Clarke must think that this A.L.I.E knows a way to bring me back to her."

"But that's impossible." younger Lexa said softly. "Clarke must know that I'm dead and that no one can change that."

"She knows because I would know." Clarke said sadly. "But something else must have happened. Could it be possible that the connection between you and the chip is deeper than just the symbol? You once told me that the Spirits of the commanders spoke to you. How does that work?"

"I see them in my dreams. They talk to me and warn me about their experiences. They show me their memories and the things they learned. They go back to the first commander after the bombs fell from the sky." older Lexa said.

"I can talk to them just like I'm talking to you and they have a conscience of their own. I do not influence their thoughts and the way they portray themselves." the younger brunette added.

"The way they portray themselves?" Clarke asked.

"Some appear to me as terrible fighters, claiming blood and revenge for our people. Others are peaceful and tell me to give my enemies a second chance. It's many voices inside my head but they cannot control me or influence me."

"That sounds a lot like the City of Light of Jaha." the blonde said.

"And that's why your other self is helping them. Because our consciousness..." she looked at her other self. "And the City of Light are connected."

"They're connected because they come from the same type of technology. And the reason why we didn't discover this connection earlier is because you're alive." Clarke said to her Lexa. "But in that other timeline you're dead and that time's Clarke must have realized that her Lexa is in the City of Light."

"And so she wants to get everyone to the City of Light?" younger Lexa asked confused. "But that doesn't make sense because that means using the bomb and destroying everything. And you would never do that to your people, no matter how much wrong they have done or how much they deserve it."

"You're right." Clarke whispered.

"Maybe that A.L.I.E already made that Clarke see her Lexa and tricked her into believing that bringing you back is the only way for her to see each other again."

"By using you?" the blonde asked to the brunettes. "That doesn't make sense."

"And it doesn't because we still don't understand the true nature of our connection to the chips." older Clarke said honestly.

"And Titus was the only one who knew. And he's dead." Clarke said somberly.

"Could the old woman know?" younger Lexa asked.

"She's trikru and hence only knows of the spiritual aspect of the connection. She doesn't understand the tek behind it." older Lexa replied annoyed.

"Then that means the only way in which we'll be capable of understanding this is by speaking to my other crazy self. So we must capture her."

"But we don't know where she is. For all we know she's inside this building waiting for one of us to be distracted."

"Yes, which means that she must know that we plan on leaving for Arkadia in a few hours. She will use this to her advantage so she can take Lexa from the woods. Easier to hide."

"So you're saying that we should let her take me, or well you." she pointed at her younger self. "And confront her when she does?"

"I don't see another way, and trust me, I don't like that this is our only option. But what else can we do? Besides, what if we can convince her to let us help her? What if we can help her fix her own timeline? Doesn't she deserve the same happiness you have?"

"She does." older Lexa replied honestly. "But not at the expense of your happiness and the stability of this timeline. Some events are not meant to be stopped or prevented."

"So it's ok that you died in another timeline and left me completely insane because of it?" Clarke hissed at the older woman.

"Of course not!" she retracted when she saw familiar angry blue eyes stare at her in anger. "But what if the Spirit wanted that future to be that way? So that other us would have the happiness those two didn't have during their life?"

"So we sacrifice them for our own happiness? That's selfish and you know it." she replied immediately. "And I will not stand by and see myself help destroy her people just because she loved you too much!"

"And I will help you stop that from happening." younger Lexa replied honestly. "Which is why we will do what you suggested and we'll let her capture me." she stared at her older self when saying this. "Now leave us."

"I'll come back." older Lexa promised but knew that once she made a decision there was nothing that could dissuade her from it.

When the two women were alone Clarke approached the brunette and held her hands tightly. Staring at deep green eyes, she saw the love, trust and longing in them. Lexa was going to do anything for her, no matter if by doing so she was putting her own life at risk. This made her realize the amount of power she had over the Heda and she vowed to never abuse of it. Not like she had been doing before Titus tried to kill Lexa.

"Why are you doing this Lexa?" she asked the brunette. "Your other self is right. It's a risky plan."

"And yet it's our best option. If we can manage to convince your other self to help us then that means we can stop Jaha and that A.L.I.E from overtaking Arkadia and our people." Lexa explained.

"But that's not the only reason, is it?" Clarke whispered.

"It's not." Lexa confessed and then smiled softly. "I would do anything for you Clarke. You must know that by now." she whispered.

"I do." Clarke said sadly. "That's how I almost lost you Lexa. Please, don't do this because of me."

"I'm doing it because of us Clarke. We deserve to be happy anywhere. Our older selves are different from us because they have not experienced what we have experienced. They have not felt the pain we have. They don't understand how much the betrayals done by our people have affected us. How much it changed us when I abandoned you at the Mountain. And that's why they are always placing each other before anyone else. They can do that in their reality."

"But we can't." Clarke smiled sadly.

"Not yet. First we must bring peace to our people and then we can start living our life together. And the only way that will happen is if we stop Jaha and Pike from making us go to war."

"So we'll do it then. We'll try to help this Clarke as well?"

"We will. Helping us will make her want to helps us as well. It's the best plan we can make out of our circumstances." Lexa promised.

"I will keep you safe." Clarke vowed strongly. "You are everything to me Lexa." she caressed her cheek.

"Ai hod yu in." she whispered and kissed her on the lips.

"I love you too." the blonde murmured and hugged her Heda tightly.

There was something about this view that had always brought her comfort. It reminded her of her duty and responsibility towards her people. It reminded her that there was more outside the walls of Polis and the territories of the Coalition. It had made her think that perhaps they were not alone, that perhaps there was someone else out there. And she had not been mistaken. Skaikru falling down from the sky made their way of life change completely, improved and at the same demolished old views. She would have never believed that it was possible for people to live in space and yet her wife came from space. She would have never believed they would defeat the Maunon and yet all of them were now gone. She would have never believed that she would find someone who loved her as Heda and yet her wife didn't want her to change. The Skaikru had made things in the ground change and right now her other self was facing a worse threat than the ones she had to endure. How could she help when she knew nothing of the pain they had known. Her wife had tried her best, and just like she had been when she arrived, Lexa was lost when it came to helping the two younger women. They were not in the same emotional stage her wife and she were. They loved each other and knew of their deep connection, but they still felt that they owned their people their lives. And that belief had been one her wife and she had eliminated once they joined their souls together. When that happened Lexa knew that the owner of her life was her wife and vice-versa. The coalition, their people and family would hold a place close to her heart, but they wouldn't OWN her heart. That belonged to Clarke now.

"You're putting yourself in danger by agreeing to this plan." she said without looking away from the window. She had heard the approaching woman the moment she opened the door.

"You know why I'm doing this. In fact, you would do it as well." younger Lexa said to her older self.

"I know why you're doing this. I'm just upset because I don't understand why it's so hard for both of you to accept that what Skaikru has done goes beyond your responsibilities."

"I understand that." the younger brunette said softly. "But tell me, what would I gain from declaring war on them? How long will it be until Jaha decides to approach Trikru and the Coalition next? Because that man does not seem as one that will stop expanding the moment he realizes he can."

"And I know that's one of the reasons you're agreeing to this plan." the older Heda said proudly. "But at the same time you're acting with your heart, you're supporting Clarke because you don't want to abandon her just like you did at the Maunde."

"I had to." Lexa hissed with hatred. "I wish I didn't, but I had to do it for my people. It pained me to leave her there, alone and helpless. But what else could I have done? My people were dying and the others were captured by that awful man."

"Fight! Just like I did when I had to." older Lexa replied back stubbornly.

"And how many soldiers did you lose that day?" younger Lexa asked and the other didn't answer. "Tell me that you didn't base your decision of staying on Clarke and I will then admit I was mistaken. Tell me that you used your head when you chose to stay behind and fight."

"You know I can't do that." older Lexa cried softly. "I couldn't leave her. I loved her even then."

"So did I. And perhaps we'll never know why you stayed and I left." she whispered. "But this time that I'm faced with the same dilemma I will choose my heart and not my head. I will stay with Clarke. Please respect that."

"I will." her older self promised softly. "But let me help you two. Let me help protect you."

"I assumed you were going to do that anyway." she joked. "Since you traveled from the future and everything."

"Branwada." the older woman hit her softly on the shoulder. "We'll fix this Lexa."

"I hope you're right." her younger self whispered. "Because I don't want Clarke to know what it feels like to lose a tenia keryon."

"Neither do I." her older self agreed.

"But if you see that the situation forces you to choose, you must choose her . You must choose Clarke." the younger Heda begged.

"I will."

"Good, then that means we can go ahead with our plan and start preparing for our journey. Remember, the other Clarke cannot know that you're here."

"Understood. Place me close to Ridley and the rest of your close guards."

"Ridley already knows of your presence here and will keep it a secret. He also knew that your wife came from the future and kept that secret as well. You can trust him."

"I know." she smiled cheekily. "He's my guard as well."

"So let me get this straight." Murphy said when he entered the meeting room. "Not only did Clarke from the future made it back alright, but in her stead she made you..." he pointed at older Lexa. "Come here?"

"It seems that way." the older brunette replied tersely.

"Grounder princess 2.0." he murmured and hissed when Clarke hit him on the shoulder.

"Shut up." she told him sternly. "Since another Lexa is here she warned us about the presence of another me that plans to take this time's Lexa to her future."

"Why would she do that?"

"You tell us. It has to do with A.L.I.E and our connection to the chip." younger Lexa replied tersely. "She wants to take me to her own time and exchange me for something."

"Exchange you? But you said that you died in that timeline? Wouldn't it make sense for her to keep you?" he asked reasonably.

"We believe that the City of Light is connected to the Spirits of the commanders and that A.L.I.E managed somehow to manipulate it, capturing the spirit of Lexa inside. That timeline's Clarke must have learned this happened and hence she's working for them."

"Or perhaps she's simply crazy and she wants to kill us all for killing her true love." he replied tersely. "We really don't know why she wants your grounder princess but now it's way worse because she can choose from two different grounder princess." Murphy said exasperated. "And you want her to capture her and possibly take her to another time?!" he asked Clarke.

"It's the only way we can learn how to stop Jaha and A.L.I.E. And why they want Lexa so much." Clarke whispered.

"This is a stupid plan. We're giving her what she wants, hoping that she'll see reason and stop her mission just because it's the right thing to do?"

"We must believe that she'll see reason once she realizes that we can help her." Clarke said.

"And can we help her?" older Lexa asked instead. "You don't know if we can."

"We must believe we can help her. The Spirit already aided us so much, it must not want Jaha to succeed in any kind of reality." younger Lexa added.

"Let us hope you're right." the older brunette said softly. "Because we must part now if we want to make it to Arkadia by tomorrow morning."

"So even if you don't agree you'll do this?" Murphy asked the older brunette.

"I gave my word to not interfere and only help."

"Then I guess that means I must help too." he said exasperated. "Since one can't reason with them one must join them."

"You must all be on alert." Clarke warned them. "My other self will want to take Lexa and separate her from the group, perhaps posing and pretending to be me. We'll let her believe she succeeded in tricking us but instead we'll follow them closely. Once she reveals herself to Lexa we'll talk her out of her mission and offer to help her."

"And you honestly believe that'll work?" Murphy asked.

"If she doesn't see reason then we'll fight her and capture her. But she will not take Lexa. She can't." Clarke vowed.

"Let us hope this works." older Lexa whispered. They needed all the help they could get.

"Where are you going?" Clarke asked her once they called the meeting to an end.

"I must say goodbye to the Natblidas." Lexa smiled softly. "It has become like a tradition for me to bid them farewell each time I leave Polis."

"I'm sure they appreciate that." the blonde smiled warmly. "Those kids love you Lexa."

"I care about them as well. There are not so many of us and hence we're like family."

"Is that why you didn't want to talk to me about your conclave?"

"I never approved of the conclave. Why must we kill valuable and capable soldiers? Why not have the tests without them ending in death?"

"Did you ask Titus this?" Clarke asked already knowing the answer.

"I did. And he said that it was part of our tradition. That having too many capable natblidas threatened the security of Heda. That them seeing the Heda would make them greedy and jealous of what they failed to have."

"And you believed that?"

"Of course not." Lexa huffed. "But I was afraid before. But now I'm not. If we want to change our traditions then we must start at the core. There is no point in killing all the natblidas. And I intend on not allowing another conclave to occur with this old rules."

"And that makes me love you even more." Clarke whispered while kissing Lexa softly. "I shall wait for you at our room."

"And I will return as fast as I can." Lexa smiled one more time and left Clarke alone so she could head to the training rooms.

Although the walk was long, it was just what she needed in order to calm herself. She was worried about their mission and what it meant for them to succeed. But still, it concerned her more to think of the other Clarke and how she was. She was afraid of hurting the blonde even more than what she had been hurt already. The woman deserved to be with her beloved but then there was nothing they could do because that Lexa was dead. But then again, perhaps they could help that other Clarke honor her Lexa's wishes and give her the peace necessary so she could rejoin her beloved. It was not much, but maybe it was going to be enough.

Opening the door of the training room, Lexa stopped moving the moment she saw the bodies on the floor. Quickly taking her sword out, she scanned her surroundings and approached Kado, one of the younger natblidas. Fearing the worst, she lowered her gaze and touched his neck, checking for a pulse. When she felt one she exhaled in relief.

"They're just asleep." she heard a familiar voice say in front of her and she raised her eyes to see Clarke smiling softly at her. "I know how much they mean to you and I could never hurt something you love."

"Clarke." she whispered brokenly. The woman in front of her looked so defeated, so malnourished and desperate that she was now doubting they would be capable of reasoning with her.

"Ai hodnes." the blonde said softly while approaching the brunette woman. Unsurely, she quickly took her hand and caressed the Heda's cheek, crying in relief when she felt warm skin greeting her touch. "You're real." she cried.

"What happened to you?" Lexa asked softly.

"You died." Clarke replied somberly. "I lost you and it was like a part of me died with you as well. You've haunted my thoughts, my mind, my whole existence. Everywhere I go I see you, all I do reminds me of you. I have done unspeakable things in order to avenge you, to bring peace and order. To honor your sacrifice and not make it be one in vain. I lost everyone that I loved."

"I'm sorry Clarke." the Heda cried softly.

"Don't be." she caressed the brunette tenderly. "It was not your fault. You were right all along. My people didn't deserve our sacrifice and forgiveness. They are selfish, they are weak, they are greedy and they were wrong; the grounders were not the monsters. We were the monsters."

Lexa looked around the room for anything that would help her escape or warn her guards of the blonde's presence. They were fooled once more and their plan was now ruined.

"How did you enter this place?"

"I am Wanheda." Clarke smiled somberly. "And the Heda's lover. You'll be surprised how many doors that title opens."

"You are not her." Lexa said softly but surely. "You are not my lover. Nor my tenia keryon. And I know you lost yours." she confessed. "But taking me away from my Clarke will not help you get your Lexa back."

"You don't know that." Clarke said angrily. "I got promised that the moment I take you back they would release Lexa. And after that we'll be together and you'll come back here to your own Clarke. I will not tear you apart."

"You are being deceived." Lexa said strongly. "They do not intend on keeping their word. I am dead Clarke, nothing can bring me back."

"I've seen you in the City of Light, we can be there together until the end of time. Isn't that what you want?"

"What Jaha and that woman are doing is unnatural. Only the spirits of the commander are meant to be in the City of Light. No one else can remain there. It can kill you Clarke and eliminate your bond with your Lexa. Do you wish that to happen?"

This made the blonde stop herself from moving around the room and stare at the brunette in hesitation. She was reaching her. She just needed to explain more. Learn more.

"Why does Jaha want me?"

"He wants the chip inside of you, the Spirit of the commander. He can only take it from you since the one in my time got compromised when Aden became Heda."

"A chip inside of me?" Lexa asked confused.

"It only enhances your abilities and allows you to learn and keep data about previous commanders. It has not affected your self or the way you are." Clarke promised. "And that's why I came here. To take you so they can get that chip out. Once they do you can return here to your Clarke and I'll be with my Lexa. We can all win."

"That chip is a part of me Clarke. It's connected to me. Losing it cannot be that simple. It would be like losing a part of myself. Would you really do that, make another you experience the suffering you have experienced?"

"I don't want to." Clarke whispered. "But I have nothing else to live for. I need you Lexa, and I intend to do anything to be with you, even destroy my own happiness."

"Please don't. Don't take me away from her." Lexa cried.

"You'll be back." she caressed the Heda's cheek lovingly. "I promise." she vowed and injected the woman with a syringe, the brunette immediately falling to the ground in a deep slumber.
