THE HELL WE WANT

Things were finally settling for the Arkers. It had been a month since Mount Weather and while it would take far longer for everyone to emotionally heal from it, they were on the right path. The ceasefire allowed for the Arkadians to start to build a sustainable lifestyle. Plant crops, build homes . . . use what resources and supplies they could. Even from the place that was most dreaded to return to, yet one that aided them when it came to the supplies it entailed. Right now however, Bellamy was not dwelling on the past. Not when he was embracing a brighter present, and perhaps future if fate would continue to be kind to them in this way. Bellamy had discovered something on the Ark; a question that he had forever wondered. Who was his father. The man who was revealed to be this title was not one he had expected, for he was a man with great position and title.

Bellamy had never had the opportunity to truly know his father. Not until recently, when time allowed them to. That, was one saving grace. The other was Octavia. And the third . . . the third was the man at his side now. John Murphy. Of all the damn people. Bellamy never would have expected to be in this kind of relationship with Murphy. Bellamy had finally embraced his feelings for him. They had both finally admitted it to each other to the point of being in a committed relationship, and enjoyed what they found in one another's company: happiness. A rarity for them both, yet not because it was unwanted. Now, they had the possibility for a future together.

This was really, the first relationship he had ever been in with someone . . . and that was why he wanted to introduce him to his father. Besides, people were going to find out. Octavia already knew . . . though she found out in a horrible way, but she still, now she knew. It was time for his father, the Chancellor to find out. It was only a matter of time before he discovered it himself and at least this time, he and Murphy could have some control of the situation . . . unlike the last time.

The fact that he was his father as well, well, Murphy was one of the first people he told about how Kane was his father. this truth would not stay contained for long. Which was why Bellamy wanted Murphy and him to meet before it got out. They had arranged for the opportunity to do in the Chancellor's office, a rather spacious room. Once they neared the room, Bellamy he knocked on the door, giving John a slight reassuring smile, Despite his stoic nature, he felt oddly nervous. And he had no idea why. He had a father. He had a sister. And he had a boyfriend. He was pretty damn lucky.

Fathers weren't exactly a favorite topic for Murphy, or mothers for that matter. But he was glad Bellamy had found his. Not only that but to now be offered the chance to possibly build on that relationship, which was denied so many on the Ark, Murphy could see it was something for which Bellamy was thankful. He had every reason to be, having not had the opportunity previously. With everything that had happened since their journey to the ground, Murphy knew it was something hopeful for Bellamy. When so many things in their lives were uncertain, on the Ark and now particularly down on the ground, hope was rare. As cynical as Murphy could be, he was happy for Bellamy. 

He wasn't so impressed with the arrangement to officially meet the other man's father. They'd spoken before. Briefly, and regarding the immediate threats they had faced at the time. Murphy knew who Kane was, as did everybody else, but he didn't really know the guy. Part of the reason he was now here, wanting to leave Bellamy to it and catch up with him later on. Meeting like this, in Kane's office with the formality of it all, Murphy felt like he was walking into an interrogation. For all he knew, maybe it would turn out that way. 

Despite his reservations, Murphy was here, at Bellamy's urging and to support the other. He wasn't into the whole introductions idea, or maybe he just figured Kane was sure to disapprove. In most cases, Murphy wouldn't care, but he guessed that considering the circumstances and if Kane didn't approve, Bellamy would care. And so he cared about it too. If only for Bellamy's sake. Besides, it was probably a better idea to opt for the formal meeting approach rather than risk a repeat of the Octavia scenario further down the line.

[Marcus Kane]

Marcus Kane, had never married. He had lived most of his life alone, unattached. He had come close to falling in love a few times, but nothing seemed to have worked out for him. One woman, Aurora Blake, had been one of the very few whom he had almost loved. They had been secretly being together when Marcus was her training officer, and he had started falling in love with her. Knowing that it would kill both of their careers for a cadet to be sleeping with her teacher, he had broken things off with her before any more emotion could make it harder. However, he would learn a few days later that she had applied for a permit to have a child with another man. He discovered he might have felt more for her then he understood because the betrayal of that news had left Marcus withdrawn for both friends and pushing himself head first into his career.

A year of nothing but hard work had brought three promotions as he had moved from from a training officer to supervisory officer. From there he worked himself into the chief officer for a sector--in which all the guards in the manufacturing station reported to him. He had not been there long when he was moved to the political station (Alpha), and it was clear he was being groomed for commander. From there, the only promotion left would be joining the council, and even perhaps one day becoming the chancellor. He had been 32 year old and commander of the guard--youngest ever--but had kept pushing himself. In these days, he had even reconnected with her, but nothing had come form it.

Or so he had thought.

Instead he would find out that he had given her not only a son, but a daughter. He had children. Plural. Now he was chancellor, and building a city for his people. No one knew of his children, but himself and his children. He wanted the news to break in his own way, rather then someone using it against him. Which was why he was meeting his son's boy friend this way, rather then afterwards. He would address his plans soon with his children, though that was not his plan tonight. When he heard the knock at the door, and put the marker down, and pushed the map side before talking to answer it. As Marcus opened the door he looked between them before stepping back so they could enter. Once they were in and the door was shut, there was an awkward silence before Marcus spoke up. "I am assuming you've spoken to Murphy about what this is about?" He asked, giving a nod to Murphy. He knew that there had been trouble between his son and the boy before, but apparently it was water under the bridge now. He didn't have any real issues with this, as long as they weren't trying to kill each other anymore.
