Raven Reyes leaned on her elbows on her dirty work bench while trying to figure out the latest engineering obstacle facing Arcadia, the home of the Skycru or the Sky people, the survivors of the Ark that was supposed to be humanity's last hope. Raven wasn't one of the hundred, the guinea pigs sent to the earth to see if was survivable. She wasn't a convicted juvenile delinquent. Although she had committed a crime, she had just turned eighteen and if she was caught she would have been "floated", the preferred method of execution aboard the Ark when it was in space. Instead her boyfriend at the time, Finn Collins, took the fall for her crime of taking an unauthorized space walk. Finn was still seventeen at the time and went to the sky box, the prison on the Ark with the other juvenile offenders who would eventually be the hundred sent to the earth.
A year later, Finn was dead anyway. Raven was still upset about that. Finn had fallen in love with Clarke Griffin, the pretty blonde leader of the hundred. When Clarke went missing, Finn went nuts looking for her and slaughtered innocent Grounders in his wrath. The indigenous Grounders, people who survived the apocalypse, were not forgiving people and sentenced Finn to death by a thousand cuts. The method of execution was barbaric and lasted hours with the victim usually begging for death. It never happened though because Clarke murdered him first as a mercy killing.
Raven bit into her pencil as she recalled the events. Bitterness had filled her days since she came to the ground in a one person ship. Her mission was to find the problem with the radios on the ground and establish communications with the Ark. First she was assaulted by Bellamy Blake, the presumptuous leader of the rebellious members of the hundred. Then she had to find a way to fix the radio with limited recourses. Then she discovered that her boyfriend had been boning Clarke shortly after they got to the ground. Finn wasn't overly sorry for his actions feeling that he'd never see Raven again and so he moved on. Clarke had tried her best to reconcile with Raven. She was unaware that Raven and Finn had a previous relationship and upon finding out she broke it off with Finn immediately. Despite Clarke's efforts to mend relations with Raven, Raven never forgave her.
It was a year later and so much more had happened. The rest of the Ark came down to earth and they formed the colony of Arcadia. They survived a Grounder attack only to be captured by the people of Mount Weather. Raven had been shot by Murphy. It was in Mount Weather where Raven had to endure the pain of having her femur drilled into via her knee cap to extract bone marrow. She barely survived the procedure and she had a permanent limp even with the aid of a knee brace. After Clarke killed Finn, she made an alliance with the Grounders and eventually killed all the Mount Weather people.
Then there was the City of Light fiasco. The artificial world was leftover tech that turned people into mindless zombies under the influence of an artificial life form. Raven had been one of the first people taken into it. It made her feel no pain but she felt empty without it and managed to escape with shock therapy. She cracked the code and helped Clarke destroy the artificial world bringing everyone back to reality.
Back at Arcadia, Raven had become the head engineer at the tender age of nineteen. She had the most analytical mind and the hands of master welder. Everyone relied on her to solve all of their technical problems. She wasn't the only young person in a position of authority. Clarke Griffin had shown her leadership since they landed on the ground. Clarke had made all the tough decisions that often ended in someone's or many people's death. She carried that weight on her shoulders every day. Since the failure of the other adult leaders, Clarke had become the leader of all the Sky people and she had just turned eighteen.
Clarke had earned her position. She thought with a clear head. She made tough calls too. She forged an alliance with the Grounders when the leader of Grounders, their "Hedda", or commander, a girl of nineteen became smitten with the pretty blonde girl from space. The sexual union of Clarke and Lexa saved the Sky people from destruction. When Clarke killed the Mountain people by releasing radioactive air into their stronghold in order to save her own people, her mother and Raven in particular, she became known as "Wanheda", the mountain killer. That earned her respect from the Grounders but hurt her emotionally and she exiled herself for a time. Clarke eventually reunited with Lexa and they became lovers again. That earned Clarke a spot as an ambassador in Polis, the Grounder capital. After Lexa was killed and the City of Light problem grew, Clarke returned to Polis to set things right.
Raven winced with pain as she stretched her leg. She had learned to live and work with the physical pain. Her emotional pain ran deeper. The structural blue prints would have to wait. She needed a walk and some pain killers. It was hot in the structure so she was wearing her usual beige tank top over her black bra. There wasn't much fashion in the post-apocalyptic world. She only had two tops and one pair of pants, skin tight tan jeans that were wearing thin. New clothes only came from the dead. Her clothes fit snug on her body, a fit feminine figure with strong legs, a curvy but firm bum, a thin waist line and average size perky boobs which showed generous cleavage in the tank top. That was okay with Raven as it kept her boobs cool in the heat of the Arcadia structure. She kept her long brunette hair pulled back in a ponytail to keep her neck and face cool too. It also kept her hair out of he way when she performed her many engineering tasks. The effect emphasized her beautiful Latina face with high, pronounced cheekbones, tanned complexion, and big round brown eyes. Her best facial feature was probably her lips though. They were full and voluptuous, bee stung some would say.
Raven walked over to the medical section and procured some pain killers from Abbey Griffin, Clarke's mother, the doctor. Abbey was her friend and she got along well with her going back to their last days on the Ark together. The problem was that Abbey always reminded her of Clarke and that always brought Raven emotional pain. As Raven limped back to her work station she bumped into Clarke who was on her way to see her mother. Clarke was wearing her usual faded blue cotton long sleeve shirt that did little to contain her very large breasts that bounced with every step she took. She also wore black jeans that hugged her womanly curves. Raven stared at the leader's figure, imagining her hour glass body naked. Clarke made eye contact with Raven and Raven was forced to look into the deep blue pools on Clarke's pretty face. She wondered how she still looked so pretty after the many beatings she had endured in the one year since coming to the earth.
Clarke pulled her long blonde hair away from her face and smiled politely. "Good morning Raven. How are the structural plans going?" Clarke asked.
