Being on Earth was a miracle. Despite feeling grateful for the opportunity to extend his life, Finn Collins was not exactly happy. The Ark was dying, which meant one special person on the Ark might not make it down to Earth. The girl’s name was Raven Reyes, and she was always on his mind. Barely a minute passed when he did not think about her. They were best friends in childhood that began dating as they grew older. Raven was the only girl Finn had ever been with – he intended to keep it that way. Everyday, Finn thought about the spacewalk he had given her for her eighteenth birthday. Since they did not follow proper procedure, the Ark lost three months of oxygen. When Clarke informed the group on the ground about the Ark running out of oxygen, it made Finn feel sick to his stomach – it was his fault, partially. Of course, it was not his fault that the Ark was dying, but the life could have been extended another three months. Beyond that, if neither himself nor Raven were arrested for any reason, they could have reached Earth much later when the group of the hundred touched down. It would have worked out in their favor, after all.<br/><br/>Since Raven was eighteen, she could have been floated for the illegal spacewalk. Finn, on the other hand, was not yet eighteen. Therefore, he could not be floated (yet). Taking full blame for the crime, the young man was sent to the Skybox, awaiting his review on his eighteenth birthday. The review never happened with Finn finding himself shoved into a dropship and flown to the ground with other delinquents. He hoped the Ark would land soon so he could see Raven again. Believing that he might never see his girlfriend another time was not an option. Even as he dealt with the strife and struggles of being on the ground, surviving against the Grounders, Finn never lost sight of Raven returning to him one day. The night before, Finn found an underground bunker on his own with supplies. Even though he considered telling the other members of the group, Finn kept it a secret. He would need somewhere safe when Raven arrived to Earth, in case they ever encountered an issue and needed to run. Finn was standing guard at the gates with Clarke when they saw what looked like a shooting star.<br/><br/>As the object hurled closer to the ground, it appeared more like an escape pod. Everyone’s interest was garnered, all eager to explore the crash site. The de-facto leader of the group, Bellamy instructed everyone to wait until morning. However, when Clarke found out that Bellamy left already, she recruited Finn to join her to find the pod. They hoped it would have a radio to contact the Ark. After all, everyone probably thought they were all dead considering the mass removal of the bracelets that occurred. The pair split up, to cover more ground. Eventually, Clarke found the pod first. As Finn neared the location, he could hear a second voice, other than Clarke. At first, the dark-haired male thought he was hallucinating. Upon turning the corner and locking eyes with a familiar friend, well, reality hit him right in the face. “Raven!” Finn called out, seeing his girlfriend running towards him. Matching her stride, Finn reached her, wrapping her into an impossibly tight hug. His eyes closed for a moment, opening whenever he felt her lips touch his own. Was this real? Could this be a sick dream? If Finn woke up from this dream, he would not know how to recover.<br/><br/>“You’re bleeding…” Finn commented when he felt Raven almost collapse against his arms. If anyone knew Finn and Raven, then they knew how protective Finn was over his girlfriend. It was only natural that he fussed about her about small things, like if she cut her hand working on some project. Therefore, he made a big deal about a head injury. “How did you get here?” Finn questioned, still holding her upright until he could walk her towards a tree stump, helping her to sit down. The answer to his question was obvious, this pod, but he wanted more details about these events. Then, Finn crouched down beside of her, holding tight onto her hands as he took out a cloth from his pocket, attempting to help clean up her face while Clarke watched in the distance, giving the two a moment to reconnect before she utilized her medical knowledge to intervene.
