( it really says something about their friendship that sprouted over ridiculous swan floaties and the unrepentant pilfering of gal friday's welcome desk drawers that clarke had arguably just been murdered by a natsuno, and still turned around and called him first. it says a lot about her own view of herself that all of her anger and blame and fury is directed at the other version of herself, like recognizing like and knowing she'd been the puppet master even if he'd been the one operating the knife. and it should say a lot that clarke absolutely never wants to tell natsuno the specifics of what had gone down in that half-done alleyway 48 hours ago, because it'd just double the hurt and insult of the entire situation if he knew.
it also says something that he immediately understand though, just based on her subtext.
and it says a lot about both of them that, even if it's not said aloud, they both jump to the nuclear option.
hopefully it also says something about clarke that she stops dead in her tracks, angry stomping of the warpath temporarily halted at the idea of dragging any of her friends into the potential line of fire. she doesn't want them to have to help, it isn't like they could tackle their own doppelgangers, and it'll be a cold day in hell before she ever asks natsuno to kill any version of her. but goddammit, she knows he has a anger streak that matches hers, and abilities that far surpass. )
Okay. ( best friend privileges here: clarke completely skips trying to dissuade him, and just goes into delegation mode. )
Okay, then I need you to find them. Don't confront, just watch. I don't know if Rita has one, I don't know if Octavia does, but if my double is calling the shots they'd be her next stop.
