          "𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐄. 𝐈'𝐕𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐈'𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐉𝐀𝐘, 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒." Katniss stated as she took out a crumpled peace of paper with her conditions listed on on it. "Peeta and the other Tributes, Johanna Mason and Fleur Astor, will be rescued at the earliest opportunity. If and when Peeta is liberated, he will receive a full and unconditional pardon. No punishment will be inflicted. And the same goes for the other Tributes."

          President Alma Coin of Thirteen and Plutarch Heavensbee glanced at Katniss for a moment before Coin shook her head.

          "No." The President stated firmly.

          "It's not their fault you abandoned them in the arena. They're doing and saying whatever they can to survive." Katniss argued.

          "Individuals don't make demands in Thirteen. There will be a tribunal and a fair judgment. Thank you." Coin stated as if that would end the discussion. 

          "The Victors will be granted immunity and you will announce that in front of the entire population of Thirteen. You will hold yourself and your government responsible or you will find another Mockingjay." Katniss replied angrily as she held Coin's gaze. 

          Plutarch pointed at Katniss before turning to Coin. "That's it. That's her. Right there. Isn't that who I promised you? Now if she wears the costume, gunfire in the background, a hint of smoke: Our Mockingjay. Madam President, we're losing ground because the people are losing heart. This is worth the risk. She's worth the risk. Pardons, tribunals, power of the people, it can all be the bedrock of the new Panem. But in wartime I think even the noblest of causes can be bent a little bit. Right?" He questioned. 

          Coin nodded slowly before sighing as she looked up at Katniss. "Do you have any other conditions?" She asked. 

          Katniss glanced down at her piece of crumpled paper before looking back up. "My sister gets to keep her cat."

          Fleur awoke to the sound of Peeta screaming as they injected tracker jacker venom into his blood stream and attempted to change his memories to make him fear Katniss. Snow's orders for this type of brainwashing was an attempt to break down Katniss. 

          As she looked around, she saw that Johanna was missing from her cell, which most likely meant that she was being electrocuted herself. Just as this thought crossed her mind, the Mason girl had just been thrown into her cell. 

          "Hey, Fleur." The District Seven Victor greeted quietly, her throat still raw and her voice still hoarse from the screaming. 

          "Hey, Jo." Fleur replied just as quietly, her mind recalling tiny details so they wouldn't disappear from her memory forever — i.e. the tiny flecks of brown in Jonah's green eyes, Finnick's real smile that was almost rare to see. 

          "Thinking about your love or the kid?" Johanna questioned as Fleur sat up and moved towards the bars on the cell near where Johanna was sitting. 

          "Both of them. And Jonah." Fleur replied. 

          "Love is so weird. You and Finnick have true love, the kind of love people can only wish for." Johanna stated. "In this shitty, horrible country, you are each other's ray of light." 

          "I'm weak. I'm not strong like you or Finnick or Katniss." Fleur whispered. "The only reason I don't crack when I am tortured is because I know if I do, everyone I care about is going to die."

          "And that makes you so strong, Fleur. Because your strength doesn't come from a place of anger or hatred. Instead it comes from from your love for the people you care about." Johanna stated. "And no way in fucking hell does that make you weak."

          "Good afternoon. Thank you for interrupting your schedules. They have already been adjusted to compensate for the delay." Coin stated as she stepped forward, her eyes sweeping across the mass swarm of people. 

          Finnick's fingers drummed against the back of his hand as Ben and Prim were whispering about how there were little to no kids around in the District. Katniss stood next to Finnick as they all listened to what Coin had to say. 

          "Please, check in with your unit supervisors when you resume work. I have an announcement for the citizens of Thirteen, and our welcome guests from Twelve. Katniss Everdeen has consented to be the face of our cause to help unite the districts against the Capitol. In exchange, I have promised several concessions. First, we'll assess all opportunities for the extraction of the Victors held hostage in the Capitol. Peeta Mellark. . . " Coin continued. 

          The crowed murmured in anger as some of them shot Katniss and Finnick a glare.

          "Finnick, I made the deal for Johanna and Fleur, too." Katniss whispered to the blonde. 

          " . . . Johanna Mason, and Fleur Astor. Once freed, they will be granted full pardon for any and all crimes committed against the rebel cause." Coin added. 

          The displeasure from the crowd was much more evident as they shot Katniss withering glares and yelled protests at Coin's words. 

          "Good. That's good, Katniss." Finnick replied softly. "That's really good." 

          "If Katniss Everdeen fails to fulfill her duties, the deal will be off." Coin stated causing Katniss to look at the woman in slight shock before staring her down. "Thank you for your attention. Please, resume your daily schedules."

          "Peeta, you 'kay?" Fleur whispered once the Peacekeepers left. 

          "No. I don't know how to feel." Peeta replied. 

          Fleur crawled slowly towards the bars on the other side of where Peeta was leaning his head on the bars. 

          "It's going to be okay. I promise you that we'll get out of here soon." Fleur assured the blonde. 

          "When did you realize you loved Finnick? I realized that I loved Katniss when she sang and all the birds fell quiet to listen to her." Peeta stated. "Can we talk about you and Finnick?"

          "Of course. I realized that I loved him a couple years back. Maybe around five years ago? He had come over to District Eight for a reason I still don't know, but now that I think about it, it was probably an excuse. I had a nightmare, both Ben and Finnick were dead and I was holding the knife. I woke up in a hurry and pushed the lamp to the ground. Finnick came into my room and comforted me and held me the entire night. That's when I realized that what the odd feeling that came when he smiled or he touched me was." Fleur replied as Peeta gave her a soft smile. 

          "You're strong, Fleur. Don't give up hope. You will see Finnick again. I promise." Peeta whispered softly. "I promise."

          "Let's hope so."
