Clarke shook as she leaned back from the one remaining working panels. She had to know. While snooping around in Mount Weather she had taken a look at her own file, at her own bloodwork and that caused her to now take a look at it on the database. Initially she had hoped to be wrong. She wanted to be wrong or wanted Mount Weather to have made a mistake, but the files in the database confirmed what she saw in them. And the database had deeper knowledge, too. In theri database Clarke could confirm, for herself, that it was simply not possible that her dad was her biological father. In many ways lucky for her curiosity that came from the  shock of discovering it, the gene pool on the Ark was limited and thus her biological father should be in the database. Parts of the database was corrupted and honestly she thought her chances of that man being alive were next to none. That was until she filtered things to Vera Kane...down to Marcus Kane. That discovery caused her to shake like she did. Evidence, undeniable evidence pointed to her being Marcus Kanes biological daughter. 

Clarke got up, determined to confront her mother about it...and then as she got to the door, she changed her mind. Her mother knew, that much was sure. In whatever way that constellation came to be, her mother was aware of it. Kane might not be. Or he might be. She didn't rule out the possibility, that all three were aware of it and that...well the best case scenario was that her dad could not father children - which sometimes happened, even on the Ark - and Kane, as their friend, helped them have her. Worst case scenario was that Kane didn't know.

With her knowledge she made her way to the man that was her biological father, still shaking. On the way she caught a glimpse of herself in a mirror. She was pale, looked like she had seen a ghost, both was also due to Mount Weather as well. It was horrible what happened there and her friends had to be freed. They were working on it at the same time, but it got messy. This here was a problem she could tackle immediately, something she was actually grateful for. On the way she thought about the best way to handle things and decided to ease him into revealing what she found out.

Once Clarke found Kane, she moved to him. "You know they did my bloodwork in Mount Weather, full genetic analysis. They knew everything about me...and the others there."

salvation comes at a price While the stations had landed apart (and they didn't know where others were), there was a few people among the had had some knowledge of planting, and what was safe to eat down here. A lot of this was coming from the kids they had picked up from the woods. Which mean there was a growing amount of food for his people. No longer would they have to starve. While he was worried about his people, the grounders, the kids in the mountain; Marcus gave a small smile when someone brought him a root they had found and fixed. He reached for the smallest slice and smiled as the flavor filled his mouth in a way that nothing on the Ark could have. Before he could tell them that was good however, Clarke walked up to him and he felt alarm. She was pale and upset. Knowing she'd been hurt recently he took a few long strides to meet her half way, and reached his arm out to rest on her shoulder, using his stronger hand to help balance her in case she was weak or hurt from something. "Clarke?" She began talking about them testing her, he didn't like the reminder, but couldn't do anything about it now. Instead he was more focused on trying to figure out what was happening now. He could help her heal once he knew what made her shaken now. Looking around Marcus pulled her toward a lesser trafficked area, and used both hands to hold her, one placed on each of her shoulders. "I know. We will get them back." Some how. He assumed she was worried about her friends.

Clarke let Kane steer her away from the people around them to the most secluded place this area offered. In truth there was next to no truly secluded place down here, yet. With time they would probably clear out parts of the carshed station and start to build things that would allow for them all to settle. This place might become their first thriving village if they played things right. If not, they would not give up that possibility easily. But they needed to get her friends out of the mountain first. Both problems were not problems she could solve that very moment, both were too complex, to overreaching, in too many places to attack head-on and with one action alone. The problem she was here for could be. 

"I know we will." Clarke was determined to simply not let anything other stand. She would get her friends back. She would be there, fighting for them as she had been the months before. Due to their time alone down here, they grew together, became friends, became a groupd that tried to survive together. For a time they had a functioning little village, even. She would fight for them, like she would hope they would fight for her. Maybe her disappearance would cause them to question the Mountain from within, too.

"It's not why I'm here. I managed to take a peak at my chart and....it looked slightly off. So I double checked it here in the database. I...uhm..." How did someone say that even? She didn't know if he knew and it was hard for her already to wrap her head around the entire deal. It didn't feel real yet. She just....needed to know what happened, how this came to be. "According to my genetic makeup I... oh there is really no easy way to say it, so I'm just going to say it... I am not Jake Griffins daughter. I double checked the database for a match...according to my genes you are my biological father."
