She said, purposely not mentioning Madi and Jake. Her eyes quickly took in his body, and landed on a knife that was strapped to his hip. And she immediately came up with a plan to take it from him. The blonde looked up and locked eyes with McCreary. "He was on a ship and left. The others are trapped somewhere else. So I survived on my own. And you want to know what that means, McCreary?" The blonde threw herself at him and ripped the knife from its place at his hip.<br/>
<br/>
She didn't care that she had slashed through some of his skin as she took the knife from him. The two of them fought, but she somehow managed to get the upper hand and with it, used that chance to slice the blade through his neck over and over and over again, until they both dropped to the ground and he quit moving. She made quick work of grabbing the walkie talkie that was strapped to his shoulder.  She clicked the button and spoke. "Diyoza, McCreary's dead, but this is far from over. Whatever you take from me, I'll take from you a thousand, a million times over."<br/>
<br/>
"We've been fighting this war for months. I will kill all of your people and dismantle everything you've worked for, unless you surrender. I'm done playing your bullshit games and I'm done being the nice guy. The next person you send after me will suffer so much that they'll beg me to kill them. And if I'm feeling particularly nice, maybe I will. Or maybe I won't. So, you better watch your back." Once she had said that, the blonde bent over and rummaged through McCreary's pockets, pulled out any smaller knives he had, and hid them on her body. <br/>
<br/>
After she had done that, she rummaged through his pockets again and smirked when she pulled out a grenade. Without bothering to take time to stop and think, she pulled out the pin from the grenade and tossed at the nearest building that housed Diyoza's people. When it went off, she turned to Bellamy. Clarke took in the horrified look on her friend's face. "Don't give me that look, Bellamy. You don't know what I've been up against." She followed him to where the others were, and after they had all exchanged greetings, they got into the rover. <br/>
<br/>
"Madi, how's Jake?" The blonde asked, knowing that the little girl had been protecting her six year old son.<br/>
<br/>
"He's okay, Clarke. But he needs you. I can drive us all back home."<br/>
<br/>
"Do it," Clarke said as she got into the back with the others, and took her son into her arms. "It's okay, Jake. I'm here. I've got you." She said and then hugged her son tightly. She was well aware just how much Jake resembled Bellamy, but knew that now wasn't the time to explain. A soft sigh escaped her lips as Madi started to drive them back to their home. She hugged her son for several minutes and then released him. "Jake, these are my friends. Do you remember the ones I told you about?" The blonde asked, as she pointed out each person and nodded when her son excitedly started to sprout out each of her friend's stories. <br/>
<br/>
They got home 20 minutes later, and after telling Madi to bring Jake inside, she did a quick sweep around their home, to make sure none of Diyoza's people were around. When she was satisfied that they were alone, she led the others inside. "This is where we live. Make yourselves comfortable. We're safe from Diyoza and her people for the time being."<br/>

Harper wasn't sure what to think about everything that happened since they had returned to earth. Her friend, Clarke, had changed. And not for the better. There was a darkness in her friend that hadn't been there before. She, along with all of the others, had heard the other blonde's words about how she had been fighting a war against these people, alone, for a year now. And she couldn't help but wonder where her friend found the strength to keep on fighting when it was obvious that she was grossly outgunned and outmatched. <br/>
<br/>
Once everything was done, and they had taken the rover to where Clarke was living now, they were introduced to the little girl, Madi, that had driven them to Clarke's home. Apparently, the little girl had been adopted by her friend. And as her eyes moved over the little boy who clutched Clarke's hand tightly, the truth of who he was, caused her<br/>
to falter. Her hand gripped onto Bradley's as she said, "Clarke, you have a son?" While everyone else had been walking around, checking the place out, and dividing up the many rooms in the place, her words caused all attention to be on them.<br/>
<br/>
It didn't help that the blonde didn't answer at first. Or that the little boy had Clarke's eyes. But other than that, he was complete clone of Bellamy. And as it in sunk in what that meant, the words left her lips before she could call them back. "Oh my God, Clarke. You... and Bellamy...?" Everyone at one point or another had assumed that Bellamy and Clarke would get together, or at least hook up. They had all made bets with each other off and on throughout the years. It was all in good fun, and sure, they had teased their friends about it a few times over the years. But never did she actually think it would happen. Especially after everything that had been going on at the time, before they left.<br/>
<br/>
"Yes." <br/>
<br/>
That one word blew the minds of everyone in the house.</span></span></span>
