Raven felt someone stroking her hair, the motion comforting, soothing. The last time someone had done that, it had been Finn before she realised he loved Clarke, her first days on Earth. Not wanting to remember those days, Raven let the hand combing through her hair drift her back to sleep. It almost worked, until a voice accompanied the motion.

"Yu ait. (You're okay.)" It was a murmur, barely a whisper, a breath in the air and yet it peaked her interest, the voice so familiar and strained. While most of her brain wanted to return to sleep, the smaller part, wanted to see whomever was talking to her, the Grounder language still unfamiliar to her.

The two words repeated again, the voice more distinguishable as Luna's, the thought of the curly haired woman causing her lips to twitch up in a brief smile. It may not have been the right thing to do however, the words stopped. Luna having fallen silent, even the hand combing her hair had fallen still. Groaning in protest, Raven let the last of sleep fall from her, opening her eyes to be met with the worried gaze of Luna staring back.

"You stopped?" Voice hoarse with sleep, Raven shifted her head's position on her arms, eyes catching Luna's hand firmly in her right one.

Luna's eyes dropped, her hand loosening it's grip on hers. "You groaned, I did not know if you were in pain."

Hearing those words, Raven focused on the rest of her body, the lack of pain in her leg and back pure bliss. Burying her head in the crook of her arm, tears dropped to the table below her.

"Raven? Raven, what is wrong?" Luna's voice rose with worry, the sound of footsteps growing louder making her look up.

Felicity and Clarke were making their way to them, slowing at the sight of Raven awake and crying on the table. "Nothing. Nothing is wrong. That's the point." Her words came in short sentences, her breath catching as she tried to stop the tears.

A smile made it's way onto Luna's face. "It worked?"

Wriggling her toes, Raven nodded her head. "It worked."

Clarke smiled, seeing her friend pain free for the first time in so long. Painfully slowly, Raven eased herself up into a sitting position, both legs moving perfectly. The blonde had been so entranced watching Raven's leg work without the need of her brace that she hadn't noticed Raven's eyes moving to her.

"Don't let Commander Heart Eyes catch you looking at me like that. I don't want to die too young." The comment brought Clarke's eyes to shining brown ones, the tears having stopped falling while unshed ones begged to follow.

"It worked." It was dumb, but part of her had thought it impossible. The idea that something so advanced existed, even on another Earth, didn't seem possible, yet she was seeing the proof sitting in front of her.

Raven smirked, arms tensing as she lowered herself slowly to the floor, Luna instantly at her side. "Of course it worked." Hand holding onto Luna's wrist, Raven slowly eased her weight onto her bad leg, or once bad leg as she remained standing.

"How do you feel?" Felicity asked, smile on her face.

Luna let her grip on Raven's arm loosen, hesitantly releasing her but ready to catch her if needed. They all watched as Raven stood on her own, no brace assisting her. It was amazing, Clarke and Luna couldn't believe what they were seeing, Raven was pain free and able to use her leg.

"Amazing." A wistful tone sounded in Raven's voice, her mind still reeling from this being real.

Grinning, Felicity nodded. "You might be a little numb for a little longer, but you shouldn't have any problems now. If you do, come back and see me, if you don't figure it out on your own of course."

Smirking, Raven breathed a laugh. "I like you." From the corner of her eye, she caught Luna's eyebrows dip slightly, her lips pulling down ever so slightly at the corners.

Sara waltzed around the corner of pillar blocking the other side of the room. "Not too much I hope." The smirk they had all come to know as hers already on her face. "But I hope you're ready to dance, because I'm pretty sure I heard an outing in Star City was happening tonight."

"I can't wait." Looking beside her at Luna, she was still frowning, but most of her face was hidden behind her mass of curly hair. Shifting her gaze to the Clarke, the blonde was watching her still, although now she was switching between her and Luna. "What do you think Griff?"

Clarke blinked, lips curling up in the corner. "I guess it could be fun."

Stepping away from Raven slightly, Luna looked at Sara. "Where could we go?"

Thea leaned against the railing of the platform. "I own the club the last bunker is under, we can go there. How old are you three?" They all looked a little confused. "I need to know so I know whether we walk in the front door or the back door."

Luna's frown deepened. "Why would our age matter?"

Sara tilted her head. "We have age restrictions on when people can drink alcohol. In America you have to be twenty-one to drink, so almost all bars and clubs won't let you in if you aren't twenty-one. Mine's a little different since I'm not twenty-one."

Raven took a step forward, the feeling of moving her leg amazing, and the steady stride without a limp awed her. Each of them were so engrossed in watching Raven take her first step unaided that they missed Thea's explanation, at least Clarke and Raven did.

Looking away from Raven, Luna found Thea watching Raven too. "I am over twenty-one winters, Clarke and Raven are not."

Nodding, Thea stood straight, knowing she had plenty of jobs to do at Verdant before they opened in a few hours. "Sara, meet me at the back door with everyone and I'll sort you all out." She waved her hand. "But I've got to go, there's a lot to do when running a club."

Stepping back, Thea started her retreat, everyone's goodbyes following her as they continued to watch Raven walk around the room around the table.

From the other side of the room, as the elevator doors closed on Thea, Kara's voice shouted to everyone. "I'm all for going out, but I don't know about anyone else I need food."

A chorus of agreements aired. Laughter coming from Lena at as she held in a laugh. "I can't believe I bet against you about food." She curled into Kara's side a little. "I will buy you unlimited potstickers when we get back."

Kara's jaw dropped, shocked at such a gift. "I love you." Mouth clamping shut, her eyes went wide as she realised what she had just said.

Lena had just stopped, the words shocking her but spreading a warm feeling in her chest. A grin spread across her face.
