"Jo, come on, let me help you," Bellamy said as he watched Jovie try to wrap a piece of cloth around her shoulder. Ever since they had gotten there and the killing had stopped, Jovie hadn't said one word. She just moved to the side and focused on trying to cover her wound.

"I got it," she mumbled.

"It'll be easier if-"

"I said I got it!" She said more sternly this time. It's not that she was mad at Bellamy because he obviously did nothing wrong. She was mad at Finn and she was mad at herself. She knew he wasn't himself and yet she let him take control anyway. She felt just as responsible for what happened as he did.

Bellamy just sighed and stared at her as she struggled to finish tying the knot. He knew she was feeling guilty about what happened. She would need some time to figure it out on her own before he could help her. The only thing he could do for her now was to give her some space while also making sure she knew he was there for her.

"Hey, you okay?" Murphy asked as he walked over to them. Jovie just gave him a stoic look in response. "Right. Okay, well, we're heading out." Jovie stood up right away and leaned down to grab her bag, throwing it over her good shoulder before walking towards the others. Bellamy and Murphy looked at each other after she left in silence. They both were clearly concerned about her. "She's not gonna take this easy. You have to be there for her."

"I always will be," Bellamy said. Murphy gave him a nod of appreciation before he followed his sister to where the others were.

They all walked in silence through the woods back to Camp Jaha. No one knew exactly what to say. It was an uncomfortable situation that was going to have its aftereffects. Finn wanted to talk to Clarke but she was still processing what he did. Bellamy wanted to talk to Jovie but she was delving deep into her own thoughts.

"Hey, Jo," Finn suddenly broke the silence, catching up to the blonde who was leading the way back. She didn't look at him, too afraid that she would lose it if she did. She felt so conflicted because Finn was one of her best friends here to the point where he felt like her brother, but he had done such an awful thing. When Finn realized Jovie wasn't going to look at him, he sighed. "Listen, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shoot you." At this, Jovie did lose it. She turned to him with an angry look in her eye.

"That's why you're sorry? You're sorry you shot me? How about them? Are you sorry you shot them?!" She screamed, making him take a step back. He had never really been scared of Jovie, not like some of the others, but there was no doubt that she could unleash her fire. Everyone just stared at them as they stopped moving. "I told you violence was not the way! And look what you did!" She wasn't trying to make even feel more guilty about it than he already was, but if she didn't get this out then she was afraid she would just explode later and it would be worse.

"I know. I know. I just... I lost it, okay?" Finn said.

"You can't make excuses for what you did," she said before turning around to continue walking. She didn't even bother to see if the others were following her. She just needed to get back to camp so she could get away from what happened.

It was a decent walk before they finally made it back to the camp. No one spoke the rest of the walk and it was probably better off that way.

"Open the gates!" Abby Griffin yelled when she saw the group of them approaching. The guards opened the gate and she came running out. When she saw Jovie was bleeding she went to her first. "What happened?"

"Ask one of them," she said, not wanting to be the one to tell them what happened. Abby could see the distress that Jovie was in so she just nodded.

"Alright, let's get you into medical," she said before looking back at the others. "Is anyone else hurt?" They all shook their heads. "Clarke, after I stitch her up I want to talk to you, okay?" Her daughter nodded her head. Abby nodded back before leading Jovie to the med bay. Abby started cutting her shirt where her wound was before examining it. She could tell it was a gunshot wound, but by the look on Jovie's face, she figured it would be best not to ask who did it. "You got lucky. The bullet went straight through."

"I don't believe in luck," Jovie mumbled. Abby looked at her for a brief moment before she went to work on cleaning the wound and started to stitch it. Jovie bit her lip at the pain but tried to ignore it. It wasn't nearly as bad as the pain that the Grounders at Tondc were feeling right now.

"You're strong," Abby noted. Jovie was pushing through the pain better than Abby had expected, better than most people would.

"I have to be," Jovie replied.

"You shouldn't have to be," Abby said. "You're all just... children. You shouldn't have to be strong."

"We're not children anymore," Jovie told her. "We're survivors. The sooner you all realize that, the better." Jovie wasn't trying to be harsh with Abby because she was just trying to help, but Jovie was tired of them acting like they couldn't handle themselves. They built their own society. They fought Grounders. They went through far too much just to be thought of as children.

"I'm sorry," Abby said. Jovie had a feeling she was apologizing for more than calling them children. Jovie didn't say anything in response. After a few minutes though, she realized something.

"Where's Kane?" She asked. She hadn't seen him when they came in, which she thought was unusual.

"He went to try to broker peace with the Grounders," Abby informed her. Jovie whipped her head to look at Abby when she said this. It was what she had told Kane they needed to do. She didn't think he would actually listen.

"He should have waited for me. I could have gone with him!" She said.

"Jovie, he wouldn't put you in that kind of danger," she said. Jovie jumped up from the table.

"I've already been in that kind of danger! You think by holding us back you're protecting us, but you can't protect us!" She rushed out of the med bay, but ran into a hard body when she turned the corner.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?" It was Bellamy.

"I told Kane we should try for peace, so he went out there to do that. Now he's probably going to get killed too," she said. "Especially after what happened." Bellamy gently grabbed Jovie's arm and led her down the hallway to get away from other people.

"Kane going out there is not your fault," he told her. "Neither is what happened at Tondc." Jovie didn't say anything to that because it wasn't what she believed. She just pushed past him and kept walking until she reached the room they were put in to share. She could hear him following her the whole time, which came to her at no surprise. Bellamy wasn't going to just leave her to dwell in her thoughts.

He didn't say anything at first. He wanted to talk to her about what had happened but only when she was ready to talk. She played with a loose string from the bandage around her arm as she replayed the images of Tondc back in her mind.

It was like a movie that looped over and over again. She could smell the gunpowder that lingered in the air and the blood that soaked into the ground. She could hear the screams of the Grounders. She could see Finn's face... the look of desperation to find Clarke. The overbearing control of fear urged him to pull that trigger. That wasn't who Finn was, but it was who he became in that moment.

"This is why I hate guns," she stated with her back still to Bellamy. It was a simple statement, but it still held a lot of meaning. She didn't have to explain herself. If Finn hadn't that gun he would have never been able to kill all those Grounders in the way that he had.

"I know," Bellamy replied. He wasn't going to argue that the weapons weren't weapons. He knew they needed them to survive, but he also recognized the danger that came with them.

"Those people... none of them were ever a threat to us," Jovie said, finally turning to face him. "They were the ones that I had been watching. There were children there, Bellamy."

The two of them had never directly spoken about her actions that had brought about Natstrecha. He hadn't known many of the specific details about it, partly because it made him too worried knowing the danger that she had been putting herself in. What Jovie wanted him to realize was the knowledge that she had gained about the Grounders because of it. She knew who they were on a different level than the rest of the delinquents did. All they saw were killers, but she saw healers too.

"We need to start fighting for something bigger than just ourselves," she said. "Or else this war is going to get us all killed." Bellamy closed the distance between the two of them then, gently placing a hand on her cheek to tilt her head up to look at him.

"Jo, there's something you need to know," he said. "This war... it's not just with the Grounders now."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Mount Weather, it's not what we thought it was. There are people living there. The Grounders weren't the ones that took our friends. It was the Mountain Men." Jovie furrowed her eyebrows, pulling back a bit out of shock. "They're using our blood to heal their people from the radiation." This time Jovie fully took a step back, letting Bellamy's hand drop from her face.

"We need to save them," she said instantly.

"It's not that simple," he said.

"It is that simple," she replied. They had been chasing after the wrong people the whole time. The more time they wasted, the less time their friends might have.

"No, Jovie, you don't understand. Clarke barely made it out of there," he told her. He didn't want to be stern with her, but that was the only way that she wouldn't run into Mount Weather without any kind of plan. "This isn't something we can just do without a plan. We need to be strategic. Trust me, I want to get them out of there just as much as you do, but if we all want to make it out alive then you need to be patient."

"Well, that's not gonna be easy."
