"I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes
Just for one day"

6 Months Later

The sound of seagulls filled the air as Clara looked out to the sea in front of her.  She sat on a rock with her feet dangling in the water as small waves hit her.  She fumbled with the worn tennis ball in her hand, the smiley face barley visible from the usage.

Clara took in a deep breath as she closed her eyes and smelled the salty sea air.  The sun blaring down on her as a sense of calmness took over her.

"Beautiful isn't it?"  A familiar voice asked.

Clara slowly opened up her eyes and turned her head to the left, Carter sitting down next to her and she smiled a bit more.

"I'm not sure if I like the smell of the sea or the campfire better."  Clara told him.

"Honestly.  You have to love them both."  Carter looked at the sea.

Clara kicked the water slightly below her as she tapped the rock she was sitting on while chewing the inside of her cheek.

"They'll get him." 

"Hm?"  She turned her head to him.

"They'll get Minho".  Carter gave her a reassuring smile.

"I know."  She nodded.

"I mean...the worst that could happen is that he ends up like me".

"Clara!"

Clara looked at the empty spot where Carter once sat than to the shore where Harriet stood, waving her arms.  "We're back!"

Clara stood up and quickly ran to the edge of the rock before jumping down, the water going just a bit past her knees as she made her way back to the shore.  She gave Harriet a side hug before following her. When she saw Aaron she engulfed him into a hug. "Glad you're alright. How is everyone? Is Minho ok?" She asked, pulling away from him then looked at the new kids walking by.

"He wasn't in the cart."  Aaron told her.

"What?  But I thought-"

"We got the wrong one.  I'm sorry" Aaron rested a hand on her shoulder, giving it a small squeeze before he walked over to Sonya and Aris who were sitting down.

"Hey".  Thomas walked up to Clara.

"You good?"  Clara asked him and Thomas didn't answer.

"We'll get him back Thomas.  We have to." Clara reassured him, but at the same time she was reassuring herself.

"I know..."

Clara walked back over where Aaron sat.  Sonya stood up and walked to Clara, giving her a tight hug.  "I'm glad you're ok...both of you".  Clara told her, her eyes flickered to Aris.

Clara and Aaron walked in silence as they made their way into the room where some of the others were. Clara leaned up against a wall and crossed her arms over her chest while Aaron stood besides Vince.

"It's just a few hundred miles". Thomas pointed to a spot on a map that was on the table. "Based on the railways, everything Aris said, this Gotta be it. That's where they're taking Minho".

Thomas looked from Vince to Aaron since they were across from him. "We take anyone who can fight. Follow the roads where we can, we can make it back within a week".

"A week? It took us six months to get here. We have over a hundred kids here now. We can't just hang out here forever after what we just pulled". Vince told Thomas seriously.

"You want to wonder off to some point in the map?" Aaron raised an eyebrow to him. "You don't know what is there. It could be a suicide mission". Aaron tapped the spot of the map where Thomas pointed to earlier.

"I do". Jorge spoke from the doorway as he slowly made his way in. "It's been a few years but...I've been there, The Last City. That's what we called it, a whole bunch of operations".

"That's the last place you want to go alone.  That's the lions den".  Jorge made his way over, standing next to Vince.

"Nothing that we haven't done before".

"Yeah with months of planning and reliable information-"

"Not to mention that Euca is gone". Clara piped up from her spot on the wall, eyes shifting towards her. "They were one of our most valuable teams...the big brains."

"I know but-"

"Last time we did something like this! We lost everything!" Vince shouted, gesturing to himself, Aaron, and Clara. "Remember that?" He looked at Thomas and it was silent for a moment.

"Look, I know it's Minho". Vince said more softly. "Alright? But you can't ask me to put those kids lives on the line for one man. I won't do it".

The radio behind Newt started to go off, making them look over before looking around slightly.

"Vince, it's them". Aaron said.

"Shit. Get the lights!" Thomas and everyone else quickly scattered.

"I got it. Go out!" Clara told Jorge as she ran to the control switch and pulled down the lever, all lights slowly going off.

"Boo."

"Ah! Ron you little shit". Clara growled slightly, slapping his shoulder.

"You always fall for it". Aaron laughed, shaking his head as he headed out.

Clara looked at Aaron who was sleeping in the hammock next to her.  She then stared at the ceiling as she could hear the ocean waves crash in the distance.  She let out a small groan before kicking her blanket off and walking out of the tent. 

It was early in the morning and she felt that she couldn't sleep.  She barley got sleep to begin with but these past few months she was getting no more than five hours.

She found a fire that was slowly dying and walked over to it and stared at it.  The smell of the smoke and the sound of it crackling brought her peace yet again.  But her eyes suddenly snapped over to a building where she saw a light was on.  She furrowed her eyebrows before going over.

She heard voices and peaked her head inside, Fry was sitting on the drivers side while Newt stood a few feet away from him and Thomas a bit in front.

"We started this thing together...may as well end it that way too." Newt told Thomas.

"Ok. Let's go get him back".

Clara shook her head slightly. She couldn't believe they were going to go get Minho with just the four of them. Well, more like she couldn't believe they were going to do this without her. She waited a few minutes before she heard the car coming and stepped in front as the headlights shinned on her. Fry came to a stop as the three boys looked at her as her arms were crossed over her chest and she stared at them with a straight face.

"Oh, shuck." Fry whispered. "Should I hit her?" He asked and Newt snapped his head over to him.

"Fry, no!"

"I'm sorry, that was stupid. She just scares me sometimes." Fry shrugged as Clara walked over to Fry's side, tapping on the window a few times, gesturing for him to roll it down.

"What should I do?" Fry looked to Newt then back to Thomas.

"Roll it down." Newt told him as if it was the most obvious thing to do. Fry let out a small groan before rolling it down.

"Heyyyy". Fry said nervously.

"You three are going after Minho." Clara said and Newt nodded.

"Clara." Thomas rolled down his window and popped his head out, looking at her. "We have too, we need to get him back and I don't ca-"

"Slim it Thomas. I'm in". Clara cut him.

"You are?" He asked slightly shocked.

Clara nodded her head as she looked from Fry to Newt. "He's my friend too." She said softly and Newt smiled gently. That was the first time she said Minho was a friend since they met again.

"Now get in the back Fry, I'm driving." She opened up his door.

"Girl, what? Tell Newt to move. You always take his spot". Fry gave her a look.

"You have never drove. I don't trust you. Get. Out. Now". She said seriously.

"Ok. Ok." Fry held his hands up before he got out of the car and went around, getting in next to Thomas. Clara hoped in the car before she took off.

**omg!  Y'all!  I totally just had a Group Coastal moment with my friends a week ago.  We had out windows down with 'Cigarette Daydreams' blasting while we all sang it**
