lemme know if this is all good
turns out even mountains that have withstood nuclear war and decades upon decades of radiation and weather are no match for one determined mechanic with a grudge and a practically unlimited supply of spaceship parts and explosive, corrosive materials. and raven reyes has the drive, the intent, and the skills to blow the hatches off the outer doors after bellamy compromises the containment system. it's dirty work. it's quick work. even lurking in the tree line, octavia is convinced she can hear the screams of the dying, and swallows a lump in her throat for their pain. but her resolve is hardened, and sympathies short lived.
the only skill raven now lacks is physicality. but that's what she's here for. perched, poised in trees, behind rocks, hidden in the shadows so when the north exit goes up in smoke and the whole mountain seems to quake, seemingly deciding if it's going to fall over or not, and then the eastern doors open and several suited figures stream into the trees, she can give chase.
tri kru and skai kru alike are thirsty for revenge. she imagines — flitting through the trees, jumping over twisted tree roots and fallen logs, splashing through mud and puddles with little regard for how much noise she makes, let them know they've got someone on their tail — that someone will insist on a trial; the griffin's are known for their high ground and uncompromised morals, and she imagines they'd let any surviving children live, let the girl that helped bellamy live. but she's a sword thumping against her shoulders with each heavy step that would serve as a decent executioners blade, and the suit covered back of her target in sight, systematically vanishing and reappearing between trees until he goes down like a dead weight, with a heavy thud against the forrest floor.
running in the woods takes practice, see. and octavia's on him within seconds, sword drawn and brandished menacingly close to his face. it wasn't particularly shiny steel, didn't catch the light or look like much. but it was sharp. )
Your skin doesn't burn, ( octavia deems to note, voice deep; dark and guttural. she's breathing heavy after their mad dash through the under brush, and something like fire burns in her eyes while she pants, spit thick and tongue wetting her lips. ) Doesn't matter, I could still make this hurt.
oh my god
He panics. There's a tremor of it in the back of his mind as he stumbles over one screaming corpse and checks the controls, and as soon as he registers that it's on every level, he heads straight for his father's holding cell. The door hangs open, blocked by one guard, crumpled up against the frame. The room's empty. Cage falls back a step, nearly trips over one of a hundred faces he's seen every day of his life — but he doesn't fall, and he only freezes up for a moment. Most of the bodies have already gone still by then; the walls shake, heat wafting through the corridors, and grit and debris is pulled loose from the concrete to dust over the dead.
The eastern hatch is already open by the time he gets there. The air stabs at his eyes, red from smoke, and it turns out there's a big difference between standing on the surface and running on it. The burning in his lungs comes quick, makes him doubt that the treatment really worked, but he doesn't stop, dimly aware of the sound of fast footsteps at his back.
When he hits the ground, he hits it hard. He rolls onto his back just in time for someone to jump on top of him, and— ] You're just a kid.
[ It's stupid. The distinction's rarely mattered; didn't matter in the case of those kids from the Ark, half the grounders they'd strung up and bled. But now, after climbing through piles of small corpses and with his head light from shock or a lack of oxygen or both, it's the first thing that registers. Beneath the makeup and the sword and the hatred, she's young. ]
no subject
reckless, wild children. that's what made them expendable on the ark, made them a prime batch of human lab rats to be sent down to earth to test its toxicity. they'd been the canaries in the coal mine, and when the hadn't died, people had tried to go back to treating them like dumb birds. but, as raven had oh so bluntly tried to point out to abby, they weren't just kids anymore.
surviving on earth alone hadn't exactly been the equivalent of playing with brightly colored blocks, and it'd made octavia perpetually angrier to hear different adults around the ark try to downplay and dismiss their plights. it made her furious to hear the mountain man at her feet say pretty much the same. )
Do you think that means I'm not going to kill you? ( she practically spits, seething. she's shaking, angry and rushing with adrenaline, and octavia forces herself to calm, take a deep breath. but thoughts of lincoln in that garage, bellamy in the rooms, in the cages that had been oh so vividly described to her flood her mind. and it takes every modicum of self control not to stab him through the heart. )
Your skin doesn't burn, ( octavia repeats, and when her voice cracks with the exertion of the chase, she drags her other hand across her face, under her nose and mouth. the edges of her war paint smudges, but no more than the sweat on her face had. ) Why doesn't your skin burn? What makes you so goddamn special, huh?
( whose bone marrow is in you? which of her friends died for you? )
probably going to same icon bc none are appropriate oops
A kid who's stronger than he is. More capable of surviving on his family's Earth. There's a short pause before he answers, tense; he'd like to think it's because he's stubborn, but the ache in his lungs makes it clear it's partly because he's still catching his breath.
Dark eyes skip to the sword, just a flicker, then they're back on hers. ] It doesn't matter what you do to me. You've killed my people.
[ Short of breath or not, there's no lack of vehemence in the sentence, all spite. Remorse might come later, when he really gets a chance to process it; right now he needs to fight back, not shut down. But the last comment gets real hesitation, the word special. His hands come up, conciliatory or defensive. Probably both.
His voice shifts, too, almost placating. ] Several of us got the treatment. We didn't know where it came from.
serial killer default 4 life
he could just be some innocent lacky, some unfortunate sap from their tech department who hadn't know just how unlucky his lucky break at her friends bone marrow would be in the long run; didn't know that his survival streak — the blast, the containment breach, the radiation; nice try, man — was about to come to a grueling, unpleasant halt at the end of her blade. he could just have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, sure, but octavia doubts that. her heart is hardened against sympathy for the man, and she purses her lips.
it's on the tip of her tongue to hurl back in his face about how he'd killed her people. momentarily, she resists. but, dropping the tip of her sword down to stab at the grass, octavia advances; gets so close she could extend a foot and step on his chest, just to drive home the fact she's superior here. )
I know. About the treatments. ( and a hard gaze betrays the fact she doesn't believe he didn't know where it came from. her hand not curled around the sweaty hilt of her weapon goes to the small length of rope in her deep pants pocket, and octavia makes a show of dragging it out. ) And I know all about what goes on in that mountain of yours. I know what you did to my brother.
( two fingers off the hilt, she holds the sword loosely and fiddles with the rope without taking her gaze off of her captive. )
I know what you did to my boyfriend.
( an intricate, telling knot quickly becomes apparent between her quick, practiced fingers. )
I know what you did to all my friends, and when we get back to camp — ( the pause is only slightly for dramatic effect, more to give her the precious few extra moments to tighten the not and allow her little noose to dangle in front of his face. ) — I know what my heda is going to do to you.
( but this noose is for his hands. not that octavia's above kicking him if he doesn't comply with her unspoken demand to put it on quickly enough. )
no subject
No. That's the answer to both, as if the fact that she'd already gotten the advantage once wasn't proof enough.
So despite those hard looks, the refusal to buy into any trace of innocence, he doesn't drop the act. ]
I'm telling you. I don't know who any of those people are.
[ Cage isn't a particularly good actor. But for once, the flippancy that seems inherent in his tone works in his favor, to some small degree; makes it sound almost guileless, no hint of manipulation or focused deceit in the declaration. Not that it makes it any more convincing, in the long run.
The assertion's met with the dropping of that small noose, and he gives it an almost irritated look before shooting the same to her, but then he gives. He sits up, tries to ignore the new sensation of grit and mud as it digs into his skin, makes his clothes cold. The rope's tugged over one wrist and then the other, quick and efficient, like there's some control to be gained in not wasting time. ] Your heda. That means leader.
[ The question's implied, if not obvious. He wasn't aware they had any of those left, frankly. ]
no subject
Smart little leech, aren't you.
( octavia jerks the rope to give it a preliminary tightening, to make sure he couldn't very easily try to slip his hands from the binding without her noticing. then the sword is carefully — carefully — dropped onto the ground while she kneels. eyes bright, makeup smudged and running with sweat, she hopes she scares him. whoever he is, she hopes she strikes fear into his heart.
and inspires the utmost obedience while she secures his cuffs — after all, she could have very easily just killed him.
this is what mercy looks like, mountain man. )
lmao ur so good 2 me
That's what scares him.
He ignores it, but he does stay still, hands lifted and braced while she roughly secures the rope. But he keeps his eyes on hers, quietly irate even as he tries to keep up his own pretense. Being harmless, unimportant. Cooperating. Unfortunately, curiosity gets the better of him. ]
Who?
[ The targets had been confirmed. They could have found replacements quickly, but the vehemency in her loyalty implies otherwise. ]
got ur back w/ these samples boo
You'll see them soon enough, ( octavia grunts, sparing him one last fleeting second of eye contact before scooping up her weapon and standing with the makeshift lead in hand. with a rough tug (soon means soon), she coaxes him to his feet as well.
but somehow seeing her prey bound and by all means helpless doesn't do much to quell the anger in her gut, nor the gnawing suspicion that — between his immunity and his questions, she'd missed something. so octavia only lets him get partway to his feet before ramming her forearm into his chest, knocking him back in the dirt. )
If you run from me, I will kill you.
wow rude octavia
Cage doesn't get the chance to dwell on it. The yank on the lead pulls his arms taught and prompts him to follow, and he's only just started to regain his bearings when she strikes him hard against the chest and sends him back into the mud.
He'd like to say that's confirmation that she's suspicious, but really, all it means is that she's angry. That's to be expected. There's a very deliberate pause while he grits his teeth and bites back on the impulsive response, the urge to throw something back in her face — details of whatever torture was inflicted on her brother and her boyfriend, whoever the hell they were.
A beat later he just lifts his hands in a gesture that's meant as a white flag, almost apologetic. ] I'm done running.
[ Forever, probably. Unless he manages to get the upper hand somewhere between here and her heda. ]
rub some dirt in it
She walks behind him most of the way, sword sheathed but a small dagger in her hand, occasionally pressed to the back of his neck to remind him of its existence. But once they cross paths with a few other Grounders, Octavia relaxes significantly. Even if he'd lied, and was going to make a break for it, he wasn't going to get far before he got an arrow through his neck. Not surrounded by wary, blood thirsty, revenge seeking men and women like he was.
A few offer to take him from her — here, sky girl, give him here — but Octavia shakes off their offers with a snarl, a no, he is mine. And though she's at odds with her leader, she'd promised to fight this war with her; to win this war with her. And she wasn't going to deposit him at anyones feet except Clarke's. ]
