Nina pursed her lips as Clarke mentioned the bomb that she had let drop on the village. She knew because she had been there. She would have been a victim had it not been for her bladder. But Nina didn't like to think about that. It only made her feel bad and she didn't want to feel bad. Hell, she already felt bad and she didn't need any help with it. Nina wasn't forgiving Clarke for the bomb, but rather what she had done in that mountain. Nina knew she would always hold a little resentment against the blonde for letting that bomb drop and not doing anything to save anyone but herself and Lexa. Protecting Bellamy was an excuse, but Nina wondered if she had thought about how letting Octavia die would have destroyed Bellamy. In a way, that would have killed him as well. Even the mention of the Grounders made Nina shake her head. She had never been a fan of the alliance but had kept her thoughts to herself. She saw no good coming out of an alliance that called for the death of one of their own. She had been right in the end but would never say 'I told you so' to someone like Clarke, especially not now.

"If you didn't let that radiation in everyone would have died. Myself included," she said. Nina had been chained up like the rest of them, waiting to be drilled until there was nothing left. "You tried to reason with Cage. I know you did. Look, Clarke, I know we aren't exactly the best of friends but I know you wouldn't just kill all those people without trying. That has to count for something." There were people in the world that would have just pulled the lever, showing no remorse for their actions. There was no way Clarke would just forget about what she had done because Nina knew that the girl had a heart and a conscious. It had not been an easy decision, but decisions usually weren't easy.

She hadn't heard about Clarke shooting Lincoln, so there wasn't much to say when it came to that. "Well why did you shoot him?" She asked. Nina figured it was best to hear the story from Clarke rather than rumors. As far as she knew, Clarke didn't have an issue with Lincoln and Nina knew that Lincoln was far more loyal to them than the Grounders. She knew it was only because of Octavia but she also got the sense that Lincoln did those things because he felt it was wrong. Nina had very little interaction with the Grounder but some people just gave off a vibe that made you realize they were a good person.

She scoffed and shook her head. Why wasn't she surprised? Of course they dropped them on the wrong mountain. It wasn't like this could start off on the right foot. Something had to go wrong, other than those two boys dying during their landing. Nina felt bad about that, but she had also heard that they had been warned to get back in their seats and buckle up. Carelessness would certainly get them killed, and it appeared that it already had. But Mount Weather looked like it was far and while Nina had never done the whole hiking thing, she already knew she wasn't going to be a fan of it. She was fine with any type of physical activity, but the whole uphill thing did not appeal to her. She hoped that everyone would be willing to go find the mountain but she knew it would be a difficult task to complete. People wouldn't want to be given orders right off the bat. But she also knew that they couldn't just stand around without any supplies. They didn't even have any water and while she knew some of these kids weren't the brightest, she hoped they understood the consequences of not having any water.

The tone of his greeting made her chuckle and she looked over at the boy standing next to her. He was tall but sort of lanky with black hair and goggles resting on his forehead. Nina put him around sixteen or seventeen years of age (considering he couldn't exactly be eighteen given that he would have been floated by now) but she thought he was cute nevertheless. Nina reached forward, grabbing his hand and shaking it before letting it drop. "Hello Jasper. I'm Nina," she introduced herself. She grinned at the boy and nodded her head in the direction of the map. "You plan on coming to find the mountain?" She asked. It was a tough call to make, but Nina sort of wanted to go. She wanted to explore and see everything she could. But she also knew that people couldn't very well be left alone out here. It was going to be difficult, but she would figure it out as the time came. She wasn't normally a 'fly by the seat of her pants' type of girl, but she figured she would have to change while on Earth anyway, might as well start somewhere.

Her wrists were red and irritated, compliments of the chains that had circled both of her wrists. The Mount Weather guards had taken all of them by surprise and the next thing they knew, they were inside of Mount Weather, chained to the wall. Nina hadn't been the only one taken. She had seen Kane and Abby as well, along with Raven and Wick. There had been others too but too much had been going on for her to really pay attention. She could still hear the screams of those who had been drilled for bone marrow. Nina had never experienced such a thing, but it looked incredibly painful and now she knew that it truly was. She was lucky that she had been left alone during her brief stay at Mount Weather. She hadn't been drilled, just pushed around a bit by some of the guards. It had been difficult for her not to fight back, but she knew that fighting would only put her in a worse position. Nina was smart enough to know how these sorts of things worked. But Nina didn't know if they would be able to escape. There had been guards everywhere and they all had guns. Nina had been disarmed at some point after she had passed out from some sort of gas the guards had used.

But then the guards had begun to drop to the ground, sans Cage Wallace who had looked utterly shocked. The deteriorating flesh on the guards told Nina that radiation was leaking into the mountain. She knew the people couldn't survive it and she wondered how it had all happened. Of course, she knew it probably had something to do with Bellamy since he was their inside man. But she could never truly be sure. But still, it didn't take long for others to arrive, helping everyone get out of their chains. There had been reunions between parents and children, friends and even significant others. Nina had been one that she no one to reunite with, seeing as her father was back at Camp Jaha. Even if he had been here, she was certain there would have been no reunion embrace.

Things had not gotten better between the daughter and father after the Ark had landed on Earth. Nina hadn't really been expecting them to, but it would have been a nice change of pace. He was as bossy as ever, taking whatever control he could get and using it to his advantage. Her father was a power hungry jackass and she knew it was only a matter of time until he got someone else killed. Nina ultimately blamed her father for her mother being floated. He had done nothing to save his wife, he hadn't even asked them to spare her. He had stood by like the good little soldier that he was, watching his wife get sucked into oblivion. Her father had been floated for the crime of stealing rations from the kitchen. She claimed it was for the kids that she taught at school, saying that they didn't get enough to eat. But Nina knew the truth. The truth was, it was all her fault. She had been the one to steal the food and her mother had taken the blame for it. Nina had stolen the food for Bellamy, not that he had asked her to, but she had done it a few times before and had gotten away with it. This time had been no different than the others except for the guards coming to check their apartment. They said it was routine, but Nina couldn't remember the last time their apartment had been checked. 

She remembered what it felt like, to feel her stomach drop to her feet when a guard pulled the food out of a hiding spot. She felt nauseous knowing that she was going to be floated. Of course, the guards always tried to take others down and she knew they would ask her who she stole the food for. But Nina would never give Bellamy up. It wasn't his fault. He hadn't asked her to steal. In fact, she was fairly certain he had asked her not to. But Nina was stubborn and just wanted to help her friend. But her actions had gotten her mother killed and she carried that guilt with her wherever she went. 

Nina walked out of Mount Weather along with those that she had been captured with and the rest of the delinquents that had been held captive by Mount Weather. Everyone was safe, at least for the time being. Nina heard someone mention that the Grounders had screwed them over, betraying their alliance at the last minute. Nina knew that if she had the energy, she would be furious. But she was exhausted and she just wanted to rest. She wanted to sleep for two days and not be bothered. Then she would be ready to do what it took to secure the camp and make sure her people were safe. As a member of the guard, that was her job and just because they were on Earth didn't mean she would abandon her post.

Spotting a semi-familiar blonde, Nina jogged to catch up with Clarke. She heard that her and Bellamy had been the ones to pull the lever, allowing any and all radiation to seep into the mountain. Children and women, innocent people, they had all been killed. She could only imagine how Clarke was feeling and she felt the need to talk to her. Nina rubbed her wrists, falling into step with Clarke. "You did the right thing," Nina said. Not that her opinion was worth much, but she knew that reassurance could play a large role in how someone viewed a situation. "If there had been a way to save everyone, I know you would have taken it." Nina didn't really know Clarke but she seemed like the type of person to want everyone to be okay. It was just an assumption, but it was a safe one and that's why Nina felt okay with saying it aloud.

She was actually still a little mad at Clarke for allowing the bomb to drop on Tondc. She knew people were trying to be quiet, but Nina was a great eavesdropper. So many people had died in that village, and Nina had almost been one of them. She had been in that village along with everyone else, but had gone off into the woods to go pee. Such a mundane thing had saved her life, and she had never been more thankful for a small bladder. But death had been successful in that village. She wasn't sure how many they had lost, but she knew someone had an estimate.

What did she want him to say? There were many things that she wanted him to say. She wanted him to apologize for pushing her away. She wanted him to tell her that he still cared about her. She wanted him to say that he still cared about her. But those things would never leave his mouth and she knew it. It was his tone that made her truly believe that she would never hear Bellamy Blake say what she wanted him to. He didn't care and he wasn't even trying to hide it. Maybe he was right. Maybe she shouldn't have come down here. But to be fair, she hadn't been thinking about seeing Bellamy again. It had been an afterthought, but her original thought had been surviving. If she had stayed, she would have been floated for helping Raven do something illegal. Of course, by the time she realized Bellamy was down here it had been too late. Her and Raven had landed and there was nothing she could do about it. But she guessed the emotions she was putting herself through at the current moment were her fault. She could have kept her mouth shut, trying to go about her day without letting him affect her. But he always affected her, whether she liked it or not.

Nina shrugged her shoulders, not wanting her voice to crack if she answered him. He began to rant and she looked up at him, her eyes showing the disbelief at his tirade. He seemed mad and while she knew he would feel whatever he felt, she still didn't see how he could show such anger towards her. She hadn't done anything to him except ask why he was being a dick to her. Sure, it could have set him off but the anger was still too confusing to her. She felt her mouth open slightly when he told her that she never should have gotten involved with him. It that wasn't a slap in the face, she didn't know what was. It was too much to say that this was him pushing her away again. He had already pushed her away but it felt like he had just pushed her off a cliff. 

"That's the thing, I don't blame you!" She shouted at him. "It would be so much easier if I could, but I can't." She ran a hand through her brown locks, glancing towards the entrance to the ship to see if anyone was coming inside. She suppose they weren't exactly being quiet and people could probably hear them, but she was beyond caring at this point. "I could never hate you, Bell." She shrugged her shoulders, a crestfallen look upon her face. "Trust me, I've tried. You can hate me all you want but there's nothing you can do to make me hate you." It was true that she had tried. She had tried getting her friends to point out everything bad about him, but that hadn't worked. She tried having her friends defend him so she would get angry, but that hadn't worked. Nina had tried everything, even going as far as to trying to hook up with someone else. It had worked for a day but then the side effects had quickly disappeared. 


Bellamy Blake

Nina scowled and looked up at Bellamy, annoyed by his short tone and lack of patience. It wasn't like she had begged him to help her out or anything. In fact, he had been the one to offer to help her find a tent or see if she wanted to pair up with someone else. She would have been fine if he had walked away for all she cared. But she knew they had to talk. They couldn't keep walking around camp snapping at one another. It wouldn't end well and people would start to notice. But Nina didn't know what she would say. She sure as hell didn't have anything to apologize for and she knew him well enough to know he would never apologize. "Fine," she snapped. "Just give me a tent if there are any left." Of course, now that she was being a bitch she knew he would only get worse. At least, that's what she thought given past scenarios with him. He may have changed, but she knew it wasn't for the better. He seemed more closed off and angry at everything and everyone. 

Walking into the drop ship she looked around. A few people were walking in and out of the room but otherwise it was just Nina and Bellamy. After a moment of silence passed, she was unable to hold her tongue any longer. "I don't know why you're being such a dick to me," she said. "I haven't done anything to you." She shook her head and ran a hand through her brown hair. "I have a right to be pissed at you but you don't have a right to be angry at me." Granted, she knew he had been going through a lot but she had been under the impression that they cared about one another. Nina knew that she cared for him more than he did for her. But that didn't mean she wasn't hurt by his actions. 

She turned to walk down the ramp, leaving the drop ship but turned around to say something else to him. "Not that you care, but my dad wanted to put me on trial for aiding an illegal child. He didn't believe me when I told him I had no idea." She scoffed when she thought of her father and how furious he had been. He probably just wanted to get rid of her, that way he had no one that could be used to get to him. "It was actually Kane that told him to back down."


Bellamy Blake

She ignored his suggestion to lay down, too focused on finding out if Octavia was okay or not. This was the most important thing to her at the moment. Not her health or her well-being, but knowing whether or not her friend had survived the bomb. The bomb that one of her own people had let drop on the city. She still couldn't believe it and she knew she would be sharing more than a few words with Clarke about it. She had to know that she couldn't just do things like that without consequences. So many people had died but Clarke was getting away with it. Only a few people knew about her allowing the bomb to drop and Nina knew things would go South if everyone found out about it. But she couldn't just keep her mouth shut, it wasn't in her personality. Clarke had to know that things could not just be swept under the rug. Nina felt herself growing angry as she thought about it, but tried to dismiss the thoughts from her mind and return her attention to the man standing in front of her.

Relief flooded through her when she heard him say that Octavia was okay. She visibly relaxed at his words and nodded her head, happy to finally know an answer. She knew that they had probably still lost some of their own people, but Octavia was probably the one she cared about the most when it came to those that had been at Tondc. She furrowed her brows as she read the expression on his face. She could see from his clenched jaw that he was angry, but there was something else in his eyes that she was catching glimpses of. Was he blaming himself for the bomb? Nina knew her friend and she knew that it was something he would do. Sighing, she shook her head. "Bell, it's not your fault," she reassured him. "If anyone is to be blamed it's Clarke. She could have done something to save everyone in that village. But she didn't," Nina pointed out. She was glad to hear that the battle with Mount Weather was over, but she didn't even want to know what Clarke had done to secure that victory. She was sure it was something she didn't approve of. But she knew someone had to make the tough decisions and that she probably shouldn't be as angry at Clarke as she would.

She waved her hand in the air, dismissing his words. "I'm fine," she said. Nina pushed him back so she could hop down from the bed she had been lying on. She wavered a little bit and reached out, placing a hand on Bellamy's shoulder as she gathered her bearings. Knowing that the walk would be a little more difficult, Nina looped her arm through his and nodded towards the entrance. "You can, however, escort me." She did not need to be carried, even though she hadn't minded when she had first arrived back at camp.
