Operation Admit part 1
Life in the first five months after Mount Weather was rough. Obviously, injuries had to be healed and order had to be set.
Clarke Griffin returned one month after Mount Weather, having come to terms with what she had done. Since then, Clarke and Bellamy, with Lincoln and Octavia's help had created a stable camp.
The 100 camp was connected to Camp Jaha, but it sat off somewhat by itself. The rest of the camp had been devised based on profession. Cabins and buildings had gone up and a stable way of life had begun.
"Alright, based on the small number of children, I say we only build one school building for the moment." Bellamy Blake said to the council. The council of Camp Jaha consisted of himself, Clarke and Octavia as representatives for the 100.
"I agree." Marcus Kane, Chancellor and head of Security said. "Do we have any objections?"
Clarke, a pretty and pale and blonde girl shook her head. "No, that should be fine." She looked to Octavia, a beautiful and serious brunette girl her age.
"I also have none." Octavia said seriously.
"Then the 100 have no reason against it. Camp Jaha councilors?" Kane asked Sinclair, head of their resources, and Abby Griffin, their chief doctor.
"None." Abby replied while Sinclair shook his head.
"Then further planning for the school can commence tomorrow." Marcus said, adjourning the meeting. Sinclair was the first to leave, hurrying off to see about their water pump.
"Are Raven and Wick up for swimming later?" Octavia asked, stretching her arms as her serious mode slid away.
"Yeah." Clarke said, "everyone's super excited." There was a big swimming event happening at the lake later that day.
"Ah, is the swim fest today?" Marcus asked the young people.
"Yeah, you should come Marcus!" Bellamy said. Since the fall of Mount Weather, the two of them had formed some kind of weird bromance that everyone always teased them about.
"I have to make sure-"
"Marcus-" Clarke sighed. "You deserve a break. Everyone's coming, you don't you?"
"Because I am the chancellor and I-"
"If you say don't have fun, I swear I'll hit you." Clarke grinned. Oddly enough, Marcus had become like a father to Clarke since the death of her own.
Abby, who had been reading papers at the other end of the table, stood up. Marcus's eyes instantly shot over to the beautiful women. Clarke and the others hid their amusement.
"Are you leaving?" He asked her.
"Yeah, I have to clean up medical." Abby replied, gathering her papers.
"Why don't you come, Abby. Surely, you could use a day off with everything you do." Octavia said.
Abby laughed. "As inviting as swimming sounds, I'll pass."
"Why?" Bellamy asked at once. He really liked Abby, he did, but the women was stubborn. Much like someone I love, he thought, glancing over at Clarke.
"I...well," Abby trailed off, glancing back at the door for some kind of escape.
"She can't swim." Marcus replied. "I was going to teach her but she chickened out."
"My mother actually was scared to do something?" Clarke's eyes bulged in her head. Bellamy and Octavia laughed.
"No, I'm not scared! It's just-" Abby trailed off. She was downright terrified to see a shirtless Marcus. Dammit, she couldn't think of him like that or she'd have to admit to herself she'd fallen for him.
No, Abby, do not think that. She mentally slapped herself. Marcus is your friend, you can not think of him like that. Besides, he doesn't even like you like that.
Marcus, on the other hand, was ultra disappointed that she had chickened out. To him, she was the most gorgeous creature in the world. He had looked foreword to time at the waterfall with her.
No, Marcus, you can't think like that. Abby's your friend and if she found out you were in love with her, she'd never speak to you again, Marcus thought.
"Well, since you two are losers and won't come, I think we'll go and get ready to leave." Octavia said, standing up. Abby and Marcus both nodded before Abby shot out of the room and almost sprinted away.
"They're blind." Octavia shook her head. "Everyone sees the looks they give each other. Why can't they both just see they're in love."
"I really thought they would have admitted it by now." Clarke sighed. "I love my mom and Kane always makes her happy when he's around. She just won't admit that she loves him."
"Talkin' about Kane and Abby?" Raven Reyes, a pretty latino girl, had just appeared. She was followed by her boyfriend, Kyle Wick, a tall, muscular young man.
"Yep." Octavia replied with a shake of her head.
"Is Kane coming swimming?" Wick asked of his good friend.
"Nope. The *chancellor* is not allowed to have fun." Bellamy replied and Wick rolled his eyes.
"I swear the man only has fun around Dr. Griffin. He never shuts up about her." Wick said. "Why can't he just see that they're meant for each other."
"Is anyone else fed up with this? Because it's starting to make me crazy" Clarke asked.
"I am." Bellamy said and three other hands shot into the air.
"Good because we're gonna make them confess." Clarke said with an evil grin.
-------------------------------
Bellamy and Wick wandered into the chancellor's quarters about ten minutes later. Marcus was hunched over some maps and looked up at the two of them.
"Hello?"
"You're coming to the waterfall with us." Wick said firmly.
"Excuse me?" Marcus blinked at the two.
"We, as in Wick and I, demand that you come to the waterfall." Bellamy said as he and Wick yanked Marcus up from his chair.
"Why?" Marcus asked with suspicion. "I'm not going if you plan to dunk me-"
"Would you just go and put swim clothes on." Wick said. Marcus sighed, seeing that he wasn't getting out of this one. He strode over and found a pair of old shorts to wear.
"Why do I have to do this again?" Marcus asked, a minute later as he walked down the hall in the shorts with Wick and Bellamy.
"Because you seem sad, Kane." Wick said.
"Sad?"
"Yeah, you seem like there's someone you need in your life. Someone special." Bellamy said.
"Look at us," Wick slung his arms around Bellamy and Marcus's bare necks. None of them were wearing shirts since they were going swimming. "The three hottest guys in camp."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Marcus was growing more and more confused by the minute.
"Marcus, they'll be lots of pretty women your age at the waterfall today. We want you to find that someone special." Bellamy said.
"But I-"
"Just think," Wick said. "I'll have Raven, Bellamy'll have Clarke and you can have...Indra, maybe?"
"Indra?" Marcus was utterly revolted.
"What? Indra's a nice women." Wick said innocently. Bellamy was trying hard not to laugh, making his face feel like it was going to explode.
"When she's not trying to stab you." Marcus gasped. "Believe me, I don't think I need Indra."
"So someone less violent." Wick said thoughtfully. "Maybe we could bring back Major Bryne from the dead for you."
"What?" Marcus cried.
"I always knew you guys would look good together." Wick said and Bellamy started to cry from silent laughter.
-------------------------------
"Hello, mother." Clarke said as she and Raven wondered into medical.
"Clarke, Raven." Abby nodded to them before turning back to her work.
"Mom, I'm worried about you." Clarke said at once. If you wanted Abigail Griffin to do something, you make her worry.
"About what, honey?" Abby asked at once, dropping her work and turning to her daughter.
"You really seem thin and tired all the time." Clarke said at once, gesturing to Abby's small body and dark circles under her eyes.
"We think you need to have some fun." Raven said, her ponytail flopping over her shoulder. Both girls were dressed in tight shorts and tank tops, ready for the waterfall.
"Fun?" Abby blinked.
"Come on Mom, you haven't had fun since...well...a long time ago." Clarke begged.
"I do have fun. My job's fun." Abby replied, clearly trying to push them out the door. Clarke and Raven shared a pointed look.
"That's not what I meant." Clarke said. Abby raised her eyebrows.
"And what did you mean by that, Clarke Griffin?" Abby said sternly.
"Clarke's just saying maybe it's time that you meet someone..." Raven said very quickly and intently looked at the floor when Abby gave her a patronizing look.
"So that's what this is about?" Abby frowned and crossed her arms. "Setting me up with someone?"
"No, I mean..." Clarke muttered. "You're smart and beautiful and..I'm sure someone thinks that too."
"I've heard a couple of mechanics say they think she's hot." Raven told Clarke, acting as if Abby couldn't hear her. Abby paled.
"Mechanics?" Clarke wrinkled her nose. The mechanics at the camp were a crazy bunch of drunks, excluding Raven. "No, none of them."
"I don't know. A few grounders will be there today." Raven said. "Come on Abby! It'll be fun."
"Please mom! I'll love you forever." Clarke said. Abby sighed.
"Okay."
"Yay!" Clarke and Raven cried and hugged her. "Here!" They flung a pair of black shorts and a grey tank top at her.
"I can't wear these, Clarke. I am a respectable member of this camp and.." Abby was appalled by the idea wearing such revealing clothing.
"No you'll look good." Raven said intently as she shoved Abby behind a curtain to change. When Abby emerged a minute later, Raven whistled.
"You've got a hot mom, Clarke. Why, if I wasn't dating Wick, I'd hop-"
"Raven! Do not go there." Both Griffin women snapped and Raven smirked.
"It's gonna work." Raven hissed to Clarke excitedly as Abby followed them to the waterfall. "Kane won't be able to take his eyes off of her."
---------------------------------
Raven's theory proved to be successful. Marcus watched as the three women entered the clearing for the waterfall.
He was so transfixed on Abby's beauty as entered. Her hair floated around her in silky waves. The tank top hugged her in the right places and her shorts made her ass look...
No, Marcus! Stop staring at her ass. Stop it.
"Kane?" Sinclair asked him. "Are you alright? You looked a little lost."
Yeah, lost in Abby's hair. "Nope, I'm fine."
Marcus decided to be daring and he climbed out of the water. He knew he looked like a god coming out of the water with water dripping from his hair and the sun shining on his abs.
He heard a few women, sky and grounder alike, giggling and excitedly talking about him. He ignored their flirting waves and headed straight to Abby.
"Abby." He called. She turned to face him. He saw her run her eyes across his body before blushing and turing away.
"Marcus." She said, not looking at him. "You, um, seem to be enjoying the water."
"I am. You should join me. I'll help you, Abby." Marcus said, reaching out to touch her bare shoulder. God, her skin was so soft.
"No, that's okay." Abby gave him a small smile. "Thank you though."
"Oh, okay." Marcus said, deflating some. He wanted some excuse to touch her silken skin again.
"I'm gonna go now." She said awkwardly. She headed over and sat beneath a tree and pulled out a book on grounder medicine.
"Wow," came a voice from behind him. A mechanic whose name he didn't know stood behind him. "Dr. Griffin..she's...she's fine." He nodded approvingly as he checked her out.
Marcus felt a pang of jealously course through his veins. He had to remind himself that he had no claim on her and anyone could check her out.
"Hey!" It was Bellamy. "You see anyone you like yet?"
"Uh..." Was Marcus could muster.
"Hey, Indra looks pretty good from over there." Wick had just joined them.
"Wick, if you say that one more time I will cut off your tongue and feed it to the gorilla." Marcus threatened. Wick shut up instantly.
"Hey guys!" It was Octavia. Her hair was soaked from the water. "Let's jump off the waterfall. It's fun."
So they climbed to the top of the waterfall. Raven, Wick, Bellamy, Lincoln and Clarke were already at the top.
Octavia and Bellamy flipped off the fall together. Wick followed them down.
"Okay, Raven!" Bellamy muttered into his walkie talkie. "Part two."
Raven started to run as if she was going to jump off the water but slipped at the last moment. Her arm landed on the stone and she gave a fabulous scream. She wasn't hurt at all but killed her acting part.
Everyone had stopped to look up at Raven, who was gasping and clinging to her arm. "Abby! Abby, help! My arm!" Raven screamed.
Abby dropped the book and ran towards the waterfall. Marcus tried to not admire her muscles as she climbed the rocks to the top.
"What happened?" She gasped as she reached the top. She jogged over to reach Raven.
"It's my arm." Raven groaned. "I fell and it hurts."
"Here let me look at it." Abby said bending over to look at Raven's arm. Marcus was in the perfect position to have a full view of her butt.
No, Marcus look away. He forces himself to focus on something else. Wick caught his eye and wagged his eyebrows at him.
Clarke glanced down at the Blakes to make sure that their half of the plan was fulfilled. Sure enough, no one was in the water. Time to activate her half of the plan.
She acted as if she was going to help Raven but she bumped into her mother, sending her over the edge of the waterfall with a scream.
"Mom!" She cried as she heard Abby's splash into the water. She crawled to the side, only to see nothing but mist from the fall.
Marcus's heart had nearly stopped when he saw Abby go crashing off the waterfall's edge. He knew she couldn't swim and the falls crushing her wouldn't help.
He didn't think twice. He dove off the waterfall and plunged into the water. He looked around wildly for Abby under the water. He couldn't find her. Where did she go?
Marcus began to panic. No, he had to find her. He caught a flash of dark hair through the waves and swam as fast as he could towards her.
She wasn't moving!
Panic and fear overtook Marcus's thoughts and he grabbed the woman around the middle and kicked off from the ground with her. He kept a firm grip around her stomach as he swam.
His face broke the surface and he gasped for air. He kicked his way over to the shore so fast that his muscles screamed in protest. He cradled Abby in his arms before carrying her onto the shore and gently setting her down.
Abby's lips were blue and her skin was paper white. Her hair clung to her face and arms and her skin felt like ice to his touch.
"Abby?" Marcus gasped, gently shaking her. "Abby!"
Clarke watched the exchange with a thrill of triumph when Marcus dove after her mother. But when Marcus emerged from water clinging to her motionless mother, she panicked.
"Oh my god! I killed my mother!" She cried in horror. She leapt off the waterfall and began to swim towards them.
"Abby, wake up. Abby." Marcus shook her. Suddenly,she gasped and then coughed out a great deal of water from her mouth. She lay gasping for air on the shore.
"Abby, are you okay?" Marcus asked in deep concern as he stared into her brown eyes. He didn't even realize he was stroking her cheek until she rolled over and coughed out more water.
"Abby!" Jackson, Abby's assistant and good friend came running towards his mentor.
"Jackson, no!" Octavia literally tackled the man. Jackson looked at her, bewildered. "Let them have the moment."
"Oh.." Was all Jackson said. Clearly, he understood and was probably just as fed up with the two as they were.
"Abby, are you okay?" Marcus asked her again. She nodded, still gasping for air.
"Mom, I am so sorry!" Clarke cried as she climbed from the water. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Abby gasped.
"Are you sure? You really scared me, Abby." Marcus said. The concern in his eyes was unmistakable.
"I'm fine, Marcus." She gave him a small smile. "Thank you." She lay her head back on the grass, shivering.
Marcus sprung into action. He grabbed his towel from a few feet away and helped Abby stand up slowly. He wrapped the towel around her shaking shoulders.
"I'm gonna go and walk back to camp." Abby muttered, clutching the towel tighter around her shoulders.
"I'll go with you just in case." Marcus said at once.
"No, that's okay." Abby said with another cough. "You stay and have fun."
"I can't have fun when i'm worried about you." Marcus said. "You nearly died, Abby."
"Thank you, Marcus." Abby gently place her hands on his. "But i'll be fine."
"Abby-"
"I don't want you to leave having fun just for me." Abby said.
"But i would." Marcus said. "Abby, I..."
Clarke, Octavia and Raven all clasped hands. "Say it Kane. Say it." They cried.
"You what?" Abby blinked, waiting for his response.
"I just want you to be okay. But i see that you're fine so...um...i'll see you later." Marcus said and he turned and walked away, shaking his head.
"Kane, what the hell?!" Bellamy groaned.
"He was gonna tell her." Raven sighed.
Abby turned and walked towards the forest, looking hurt. Wether it was from the fall or Kane's odd nature, the group couldn't tell.
Marcus tried not to watch her leaving. A sinking feeling reached his heart. He wanted to race after her and kiss her with everything in him.
Clarke was suddenly there, hugging him around the middle. "Oh, thank you Marcus. Thank you."
"Uh, you're welcome, Clarke." He said.
"I can't believe i made her fall in. Thank you for saving my mom. She would've died if it wasn't for you. I'm glad to know that my mom has someone who loves her." Clarke said.
"What? Loves her?"
"What?" Clarke acted confused, hoping that an improv idea would save them all. "You don't love my mother?"
"Abby and I are just friends, Clarke." Marcus said, sounding unconvincing. "I was just doing what anyone would have done."
"But-"
"Clarke, Abby and I both know we need to lead this camp together. That's why we risk our lives for each other." Marcus said, still trying to sound convincing. Clarke's face fell and she walked away.
"Yeah, Kane." Wick had once again arrived.
"Wick...." Marcus warned.
"You saving Dr. Griffin was awesome. You're a hero!" Wick cried.
"Right?" Marcus waited for Wick to say something stupid.
"You know who probably thinks that's awesome? In..." Wick asked.
"Do you have a death wish?" Marcus knew who he was going to say. "Do not say it!"
"....dra...."
"KYLE WICK!"
