The aftermath of the fight part 1

"The rest of the people? Are they safe? Maya?" Clarke asked them and Bellamy nodded at her. "Yes, they're safe. We have Dante, now Cage and Emerson and a few of the others." He explained and she nodded in relief. "Thank God. Are the others still in quarantine?" she asked and he nodded. "Okay, keep them there while we deal with things out here. Is Monty still in the control room?" She asked and he nodded as she turned to Lexa and Anya. "Okay, there is one more thing for me to take care of but the ones we have captured like this one here, they are yours to put on trial." Clarke said to them and Lexa looked at her.

"What about the others?" Anya asked the blonde. "The ones that are innocent are not to be killed. They have done nothing wrong." Clarke explained. "And where are they going to stay?" Indra asked her. "Here for now." Clarke said and they looked at her with caution. "Look, I know that none of you have any reason to trust them but these people are good. They refused the treatment because they knew it was wrong. They are kids and they can't go out yet. Me and my friends are going to disable any destructive weapons they have such as missiles, bombs, whatever we find. They will be harmless beside your warriors are here and all their soldiers are gone." Clarke explained to the generals before looking at Lexa.

"And what happens after?" Lexa asked her. They hadn't talked about what happened after they won yet. "They live and so do we. My people will be donating bone marrow safely so they can go out. After the risk they put themselves in just to help us, it seems like the right thing to do." Clarke said and Bellamy nodded. "Count me in." He said to her and she looked at him and smiled. "What if they decided to attack us?" Anya asked and Clarke looked at her. "The ones who survived are not soldiers, Anya. They wouldn't and even if they did, you could easily kill them all. They wouldn't be a problem and they won't." Clarke said sincerely.

"They just want to live in peace and without hurting anyone. It will be more difficult to stop your people from hurting them that the other way around. They are the ones in danger now and even knowing they risked everything to help us. They are not bad people, they were just lead by the bad guys and you have those now. Leave them be." Bellamy said to the three grounder women. "I will tell them that harming the survivors will not be allowed under consequences. They shall obey." Lexa said to the two friends and they nodded. "Thank you. So what you propose is that we let them live here, go outside and become a clan of their own?" Lexa asked Clarke and she seemed to think before nodding.

"Yes, but I have a better idea though it should be done later." Clarke said looking at them. "What is it, Sky Girl?" Indra asked. "What if them and us joined your coalition?" Clarke said shocking Anya and Indra while Lexa merely looked at her. This was not a surprise. She knew Clarke and her big heart, she knew the moment started defending their right to live that this would come up. "My people could accept your clan, given your help in defeating the Mountain but them? I don't think so." Anya said, Indra agreeing and Clarke nodded.

"I know and I am very happy to hear that. Know that the Sky people would be honored to accept but as for them, I wasn't talking about joining right now. I was talking later, first they would need to prove that they mean you no harm and with time and a clearer understanding of each other, maybe you could propose the addition. From what I have heard, Trikru and Azgeda are mortal enemies but you work together. Sure you could do the same with them one day, don't you think?" Clarke said to them as they looked at each other.

"Either way, it is definitely not something to be discussed now. Maybe in a month or two or more but now, all we need is a truce. They don't harm you and you don't harm them. The rest is up to my people." Clarke said to them and Lexa and the women nodded. "Very well, you have the truce but I want reports on everything that is going on and who can go out and what not." Lexa said to them and Clarke and Bellamy nodded. "Of course. Daily reports." He said and Clarke agreed. "What say you?" Lexa looked at her generals.

"It's a risk but as the Sky girl said so was joining with the Azgeda and by what I saw from the people who survived, Nia is a bigger threat than they could ever be. Those are no warriors, just a bunch of scared people." Anya said to her Commander and Indra nodded. "Very well, then it is done. What about our people, the captured ones, how are they?" Lexa asked her general and Indra spoke. "They were taken to the camp and I received word that the sky healer is taking care of them and Nyko is also on his way there to help treat them. Once Nyko arrives at the camp which should be happening anytime soon, Abby and the others will come here." Indra said to them and Clarke smiled. Her mom was coming.

"So, Bellamy and I will go to the control room, our friend there can disable the weapons and then we join you." Clarke explained. "I will go as well. Nothing personal but my people will not believe in your word that the weapons are destroyed. I want to see it for myself so I can vouch for you." Lexa said and they nodded. "Of course. Please." Clarke said and Lexa looked at the women. "Check with Gustus and tell him to start preparing pyres for all bodies and to send a team to help Abby and the others with whatever they need." She said and both women nodded before leaving them and Lexa looked at the two friends.

"Let's go." She said and they nodded and started working through the halls until they got to where Monty was. "Hey, Monty." Bellamy said and the boy looked at him and then at the girls as they entered and closed the door behind them. "Well I was kind of listening to the conversation and I already know what you want me to do so I started looking through the system and found that they still had 10 missiles." He said as he pointed to the screen for the other three. "Okay, can you disable them?" Clarke asked him and he looked at her. "The only way to make sure they are not usable again is to destroy them and to do that, I would have to explode them." He explained.

"But that would destroy this place." Bellamy said and he shook his head. "That was what I thought but no. Apparently the missiles are guarded in another place, like an extension from here but point is another place would be destroyed, not here. We are safe." He said to them and Lexa and Clarke looked at each other. "Okay, then do it." Clarke said and he started typing and within seconds looked back at them. "Why did you stop?" Lexa asked him. "Because I did it. All you need to do is pull the lever. The countdown will start and they will start exploding. There is only one thing though. There are soldiers there." He said and Clarke chuckled sadly at the similarity with the scene from the past.

"We have to do it. They can't get out anyway." She said to him and moved to grab the thing but Lexa's hand stopped hers and she looked at her girlfriend who had a comforting smile on her face. "I'll bear it so you don't have to." She said and Clarke felt the tears coming to her eyes as Lexa pushed her back gently and stood in front of the panel and grabbed the lever. "Jus drein jus daun." She said and pulled it down and the countdown started as she stepped back and at that moment, Clarke didn't care if Monty and Bellamy was there and what they would think about what they saw. She just hugged Lexa by the waist and leaned her head on the girl's shoulder as they watched from the monitor.

She could feel her friends' shocked stares at her and even Lexa's surprised stance and she smiled as she realized she didn't care that her friends would know that there is something more between the two leaders, all she cared about was the comfort of her girlfriend's arms around her and once passed the surprise, that was exactly what Lexa did, hugged her, pulling the blonde further into her side. When the voice counted down to one, they waited and started looking at the monitor of the place as the missiles started exploding, one by one until there were only flames and smoke left.

"It's done." Monty said and Clarke looked at him without leaving her position. "What about other weapons that could be used against the grounders? Can you get rid of those too?" she asked and he nodded and started typing it out as Clarke turned her head and her nose was on Lexa's neck and she smelled her scent and felt it relax her. "Done. All they have now is defensive mechanism, like lock down, self-destructive mechanisms, none that could be used to attack your people, only to destroy the Mountain." Monty said to them and Lexa nodded. "Thank you, Monty and Bellamy of the Sky People. Your help in winning this war will not be forgotten by my people and those who follow." Lexa said looking at them.

"Thank you, Commander." Bellamy said nodding at her. "Yeah, thanks and I am really glad we're not enemies anymore." Monty said and she smiled before kissing the top of Clarke's head. "Me too." She said and he smiled at them, they looked good together. "I need to go check on the progress of retrieving the bodies." Lexa said pulling away from Clarke who looked at her. "What will happen next?" Bellamy asked her. "We will burn the bodies to give them a proper goodbye and then, in a few days, once we have secured what we still need to do here, there will be a celebration in TonDC and you are all invited. It was a team effort, after all." Lexa said to them and they nodded.

"We will just finish taking care of the survivors and when the pyres are ready, we will join you." Clarke said to her girlfriend and Lexa nodded before the blonde held her face and kissed her. Lexa didn't waste time and kissed back before pulling away and looking at the smiling blonde and shook her head smiling as well. "Excuse me." She said to the two boys and turned around leaving the room as Clarke turned to look at them. "You're dating the Commander?" Monty asked and she chuckled. "I guess I am." She said smiling.

"I knew it. Well, we all did actually, since we went to TonDC, except for Finn who didn't want to see that there was something brewing between you two, jealous about you two and he was right to be." Bellamy said to her and she sighed. "I know but I talked to him and he is trying to move on besides it's a somewhat recent development." She said to him and looking at it, it really was, they have only been in a relationship for the past 6 days so technically she was telling the truth to him and they both smiled.

"Even though not too long ago, she wanted to wipe us out and tried to do that a couple of times, I am happy for you, really. You deserve it after everything you have done for all of us." Bellamy said to her sincerely and she hugged him. "Thanks Bellamy. That means a lot to me." She said before pulling back as Monty was the next one to hug her. "She seems nice and seems to care about you a lot and if she make you happy, I'm good with her. Besides, you two look powerfully cute." He said to her pulling back and she smiled at him.

"I will be sure to tell her that you find her cute, Monty, I don't think anyone has ever called her that before though I agree. But guys, the others don't know anything about this yet and they can't so I would appreciate if you could keep it a secret until I'm ready to tell them, when it is time." She said to them and they nodded. "Of course. We don't want a protective Commander wanting to kill us. Though it will be funny once you introduce her to your parents as your girlfriend. " Bellamy said laughing as did Monty and even Clarke before she slapped his arm.

"Shut up, you stupid jerk. I will have you know that my parents already like her without knowing so when they get to know her, they will love you, I know it so keep the mouth of yours shut and let's get to Quarantine so we can check on Jasper and Maya and the others. Then we have to help with the pyres." She said to them and the boys nodded before they followed her out of the room closing it behind them and moving to the elevator as they waited to go down to meet their friends, happy that they won. Clarke more than the others and honestly, there was only one question in her head,

What is going to happen to now moving forward from this?
