Sep. 13. 2149

Athena lays with her head against the scratchy pillow as she stares up at the cold, hard metal base of the top bunk where Octavia lies, 

She hums a tune that's playing from her iPod while throwing and catching a small ball they found a while ago.

While holding her book in her lap, Athena begins to write about the earth. She writes about the sky with its grace and glory, and the wind as it whistles by.

She dreams of feeling the earth beneath her feet someday and breathing in the fresh air.

Snapped out of her thoughts, Athena's heart raced as she heard the loud buzzing sound, signaling the guards' arrival. She exchanged a glance with Octavia, her closest friend and cellmate, before they both stood up, unsure of what was about to happen.

The guards entered their room, their presence casting a shadow of unease over the otherwise mundane surroundings.

Athena's grip tightened on her book as she tried to brace herself for whatever was coming next.

"Prisoners 2-4-9 and 3-1-4, please stand up," one of the guards announced, his voice stern and commanding.

Athena glanced at Octavia, who looked just as bewildered as she felt. With a sense of apprehension, they complied, rising to their feet and awaiting further instructions.

She reaches a hand up to help Octavia down from the top bunk.

"Please hold out your right arm."

She holds it up without hesitation and feels a sharp pain.

Octavia eyes the guards suspiciously and so Athena nudges her. She reluctantly cooperates.

As the guards began to attach bulky metal bracelets to their wrists, Athena couldn't help but feel a surge of fear mingled with curiosity. What awaited them beyond the confines of their cell?

The younger guard then holds out a small bag to Athena,

"You can bring some of your belongings, miss."

She smiles and nods before reaching down for a couple of things.

Her journal.

She wrote every single day in her journal since she learned how to. She's of course had to get new ones as she filled the pages up.

Her iPod.

A small item she and Murphy stole when they were 15. They had been looking for an old soccer ball in the junk pile when Murphy tapped her shoulder, holding up an iPod in his hand, smirking.

"What do you think about music, A? 'Cause I for one, find it."

And a picture of her and all her friends. Her, Finn, Octavia, Atom, Murphy, Jasper, and Monty.

It was her 17th birthday, which also happened to be Unity Day. The delinquents were allowed to attend a small celebration and there Jasper and Monty pulled out a small Polaroid camera they found. Athena managed to cram everyone into the picture.

"Do you want to bring anything, Tavi?" She questions, looking over to the taller girl.

She shakes her head.

The guards escort them out of their cell and she sees every prisoner being pulled out just like her, some resisting. They're brought to a drop ship, but she and Octavia get separated. Guards fill the ship as they buckle each prisoner in.

As Athena feels the presence of someone approaching, she lifts her gaze to meet the eyes of the guard standing before her.

Tall and commanding, with tanned skin and a rugged yet captivating charm, he exudes an aura of authority that leaves her momentarily spellbound.

Her heart skips a beat as she notices the way his eyes roam over her, taking in every detail with an intensity that sends a shiver down her spine.

Despite her apprehension, Athena can't help but feel a flutter of excitement at the attention, her cheeks flushing with warmth.

With a gentle yet firm touch, he begins to buckle her seatbelt, his fingers brushing against her skin with a lingering warmth.

Athena finds herself unable to tear her eyes away from his captivating presence, her breath gets caught in her throat as she becomes acutely aware of the electricity crackling between them.

As he finishes securing her seatbelt and steps away, Athena releases a breath she hadn't realized she was holding, her chest rising and falling with a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty.

Despite the momentary nature of their encounter, the memory of his piercing gaze and the warmth of his touch linger with her, leaving her longing for more.

Athena's attention is unexpectedly distracted as two familiar figures catch her eye. Her gaze locks on Jasper Jordan and Monty Green, and her eyes widen in disbelief.

"What the hell are you two doing here?" she whispers and shouts simultaneously, a mixture of disbelief and excitement bubbling up inside her as she fights back a huge smile.

"Athena," they both respond in unison, their voices tinged with disbelief.

"That's my name, don't wear it out," she jokes, unable to contain the wave of amusement washing over her.

Before she has a chance to process their unexpected presence, the ship launches, sending her lurching back into her seat with a jolt of adrenaline. Promising, the screens in the dropship light up with the image of Chancellor Thelonious Jaha. "Prisoners of the Ark, hear me now," he begins, his voice echoing through the ship.

"You've been given a second chance, and as your Chancellor, it is my hope that you see this as not just a chance for you, but a chance for all of us, indeed for mankind itself."

Athena's heart races as she watches her father speak, she can't believe she's going to set foot on the ground, after all these years of being trapped in the sky.

As her father's speech continues, she hears a kid call out, "Your dad's a dick, Wells!" Laughter spreads through the ship.

She huffs, crossing her arms over her chest, she's shocked to hear her brother's name. How the hell did he get arrested?

Athena's thoughts are interrupted by the sight of Finn Collins drifting toward her witha cheerful look on his face.

"Little Jaha," he greets her warmly, his voice carrying a hint of mischief.

"Spacewalker," she retorts with a playful grin, "Do you know why we're here?"

"Nope."

"Thank you so much," she smiles, gently pushing him away as he continues to hover in the dropship. Soft giggles escape her lips as she watches him.

Before she can turn her attention back to the screens, they shut off as the ship is rocked by a violent tremor, sending Finn and two other passengers slamming into the wall.

The chaos fills the air with panicked shouts and screams, and Athena instinctively shields her head as sparks fly and a pipe bursts overhead.

"Oh my gosh," she hears someone near to her murmur.

As the dropship flies toward the ground, Athena braces herself for impact, her heart pounding in her chest. When the crash finally comes, it's accompanied by a loud roar, followed by an eerie silence that settles over the kids like a heavy blanket.

Slowly, Athena gathers herselg and looks around, taking in the disoriented figures standing from their seats.

"Listen, no machine hum," Monty says, breaking the silence.

"Whoa. That's a first."

"State the obvious much boys?" Athena asks with a slight smile on her face, seeking normality.

"Oh, come on, A, don't be mean," a familiar voice breaks through the commotion, causing Athena to swiftly turn around.

Her eyes light up as she comes face to face with Atom, whom she hasn't seen in almost a year.

Without hesitation, Athena throws her arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace. Atom returns the hug warmly, a grin spreading across his face as they reconnect after what felt like forever apart.

As they step away, Athena's eyes sweeps across the room, her heart swelling with joy at the sight of Monty and Jasper.

It had been far too long since they had all been together, and she couldn't contain her excitement as she rushed over to them, enveloping them in hugs.

Turning her attention to Octavia, Athena reaches out and grabs her arm, a burst of energy coursing through her veins as she pulls her friend toward the ladder.

Despite Octavia's surprise, Athena's pulls them forward as they push through the crowd.

Amidst the chaos, a loud definitive voice rings out, pressing for attention and bringing the activity to a temporary halt. Athena's heart races as she braces herself for whatever announcement or bullshit is about to follow.

"If the air is toxic, we're all dead, anyway."

"Bellamy?" Octavia calls out, pulling Athena towards the front of the ship with her. She looks at him and recognizes him as the guard from earlier.

"My god, look how big you are."

Octavia quickly throws her arms around her brother, relishing the feeling she hadn't felt in so long.

Athena smiles at the sight of the siblings being reunited.

Octavia pulls away and examines his unfamiliar clothing. "What the hell are you wearing, a guard's uniform?" She questions.

"I borrowed it, to get on the dropship." He said, quickly reassuring her, "Someone got to keep an eye on you."

Their moment is interrupted as Clarke calls out,

"Where's your wristband?"

Octavia scoffs, "Do you mind? I haven't seen my brother in a year."

"No one has a brother!" A random kid yells.

"Well that's not true is it?" A quiet voice sounds behind Athena. She quickly turns around and sees her brother standing behind her.

"Wells!" She quietly calls out as she jumps in his arms with a giant smile on her face. Since she was locked up last year they haven't seen each other at all.

They pull away to take in the scene in front of them as the doors to the dropship opened, blinding them for a second as the air rushes into their lungs. Her eyes widen.

Octavia looks over at Athena and holds out her hand, she takes it excitedly.

"Together?"

"Together."

Everyone wait, there nerves jittery. The girls slowly walk out together and Octavia jumps off, Athena's feet staying firmly on the dropship floor.

She turns around shocked, "You said together!"

Athena held up her hand showing off her crossed fingers, laughing slightly.

She shakes her head, laughing before turning and throwing her hands up in the air

"We're back bitches!"
