[Chapter —45][Power Stone Bonus]

I had called a meeting just before everything could settle down in camp, to discuss tommorow plans and also discuss about the fruits and how we would be sharing it and lastly the guns.

" Where's Octavia?" was my first question as I found that only Clarke, Bellamy and Raven came.

Luckily they weren't intoxicated, Clarke had drank but she seemed to have sobered up since we drank together.

Bellamy too wasn't drunk which I expected him to be, he didn't have much to do in camp except take care of the hunters and anything that comes up from them.

" She's asleep, she took 3 of the fruits and then passed out." Said Clarke with a shrugg making me raise an eyebrow at that O was so eager to get the enhancement.

" I thought that it was something natural that would happen so I didn't bring it up to you, did it not happen to you?" She asked getting a tiny bit worried seeing my confused expression.

" Ahhh yeah it did, but it was night time at the time so I thought that I had just been tired and took a nap." I told her lying once more, at this point I was surprised that I hadn't gotten a lying skill yet.

" Oh that's good, I put her into the third floor and had some of the guards look after her just incase something like Dax happens...." Said Clarke with a frown stealing at look at me.

" I see, well I guess since we're already talking about the Radiux fruits, let's talk about who will be getting the enhancements and who'll not." I muttered garnering their attention.

" I'll be prioritising the people that manage and are crucial to the 100s survival so all of you will be getting your fair share of fruits." I told them, Bellamy smiled at that followed by Raven who smirked at the good news except Clarke.

" Why us?" She asked looking at me befuddled." Shouldn't we be giving the fruits to the hunters and guards, they are the ones that will be acting as our soldiers aren't they?" She asked garnering agreements from the two also in the table besides me.

" The fruits will increase their survival chances so why not invest in them instead?" She asked frowning.

Groaning internally I opened my mouth and muttered." Because we don't have enough for everyone of them, there's only a limited stock and I want to strengthen those I care for first and as you said; increase their survival chances."

" Doesn't that seem like favouritism though?" Asked Clarke with a scoff.

Groaning out this time I looked at the other two thinking maybe I'd get their help on this.

" She's right." Said Bellamy with a shrugg having already figured that he'd get the fruit either way anyway since he was a fighter.

" The princess is right but that doesn't mean I agree with her." Said Raven with a smirk looking at me.

" I already have another alternative for them, it's something that I cooked up." I told them, Clarke of course was the first to speak up.

" One of your mixtures?"

" Yes, it's more of a potion though." I told then with a shrugg making raven raise a brow at that.

" Like one of those Liquids with magical effects from that tabletop game DnD?" Asked Raven surprising me that she knew of the game in the first place.

" Yeah something like that." I said not hiding my surprised look from her, she of course scoffed seeing it.

" How sure this will work and how safe is it?" Said Clarke frowning.

" Don't worry, it's safe, I tested it already and it's something made from the fruits that will give their bodies a boost that will grant them accelerated muscle growth, muscle memory, mental cognition and memory while giving them an increased focus." I told them in one mouthful.

" And is this...potion safe?" Asked Bellamy.

" Yes it is." I answered with a smirk shutting them up.

" Fine, then lets test out your 'potions' and see if they really work and only then do we use the fruits, alright?" Asked Clarke before looking at the other's with a sharp stare challenging them to object.

" I'm fine with that, will I also use this potion?" Bellamy asked.

" Yes, you will." I told him, having them drink the potion and then having them eat the fruit will probably have better effects anyways so it wasn't a setback, atleast O has already taken some fruits.

I can't wait to see the changes.

" Okay, with the fruits out of the way, the guns are the next thing on business." I said with a sigh.

" And?" Asked Bellamy looking a bit excited at the prospect of guns.

" Well, I'll training the hunters and guards in how to manage them, how to fix them and how to fire them." I told them.

" Won't the bullets run out?" Asked Raven.

" I plan on simply just teaching them how to steady their hands and how to proficiently aim before bullet practices." I told her making them nod.

" But while on that note, some of the bullets have their gunpowder degraded and expired so raven I'll need you and Monty to look them up and see whether you can pilfer those that will fire and those that won't?" I asked the girl and she nodded not giving me as much sass and backtalk as I was used to.

" Also don't waste the gunpowder, there is hydrazine in the dropships tank and we'll have to extract some for bombs and landmines just in case." I told them.

" Wait, we have hydrazine?" Asked Raven with wide eyes.

" Yeah, I need you to and some others to extract it and bring it to the crafthouse, I'll make some bombs with it and the degraded gunpowder." I told her, she nodded and seemed a bit enthused at that.

" And then what's next?" Said Bellamy causing me to rack my brain before it clicked.

" Murphy." I muttered causing the mood to suddenly drop.
