First Day of Guard Duty {Possible M}

[John Murphy]

It was the next morning as Murphy heard someone pounding on the entrance to the vehicle bunker. After getting up and putting his pants back on he heard someone say, "Lieutenant! We need you topside sir. We have a situation." John then turned on his radio before hearing Bellamy yell, "Hey Murphy! Open up! We need Clarke to come back! There was a bomb explosion and a bunch of people are hurt." Murphy unlocked and opened the door to see Bellamy and Markson. "She's still sleeping guys. We sort of got carried away last night. I'll get her up but you guys have to deal with it if she's cranky." John said as he returned to Clarke. He brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead gently. "Hey Princess. We have company...There's been a situation back at base. They need your help with the injured. I'm needed at patrol and to help keep the base secure." John said as he whispered "We can have more fun time later..."

Bellamy jumped into the bunker before turning to face the wall while Clarke got dressed. Murphy threw on his guard jacket and grabbed the radio and baton before showing Bellamy the empty box. "Nice job bro...You're a lucky man." Bellamy said as he smiled at Murphy. John then put the box back into his jacket pocket before turning around to check on Clarke. After he saw that she was dressed he gave a cat-call to inform Markson they were heading up. Markson helped Clarke up before noticing the ring on her finger. "Congratulations, Mrs. Murphy. I can't wait to see the Chancellor's face when she finds out." Markson said as he chuckled and waited for Bellamy and John. After everyone was out of the bunker John closed the door before following the others with his left arm around Clarke's waist.

Clarke blinked her eyes as she had this look on her face as she muttered "what is the meaning of all this." She quickly got dressed and looked over at Murphy before giving him a slight smile. She looked over and wondered who was was helping her out. She smiled as she looked at Markson before saying to him "you'll just have to wait I have injured people to tend to." She knew taking care of the injured people was more important right now before getting a reaction out of her mother. She put her right arm around John's waist as she walked back so that she could take care of the people that were hurt.

[John Murphy]

As Murphy walks into Arkadia with Clarke, Bellamy and Markson he sees Kane and tosses him the box back. "Thanks Boss." John said as he pulled Clarke close to him away from the rookie guards. "See you later Princess." John said as he gave her a hug before returning to Kane. "Ah, Lieutenant Murphy. What a pleasure to have you finally join us. Markson! Your sparring partner is here. You up for another fight to teach the rookie a lesson?" Kane asked John as he saw Bellamy crack his knuckles. "Who am I sparring?" Markson asked as he stopped talking to Bellamy.

John smirked as he took out his baton and started it up. He swung it a few times before tapping himself on the back with it. The wound where the spear had hit him burned as the electricity hit. He ignored the pain as he brought the police baton around and waited for Markson. "Bring it on...if you think you can take me." Murphy said as he chuckled. He then waited to see what young Markson would do. Markson clenched his hands into fists before taking his own police baton out and starting it up. John watched him with eagerness. "Time to teach you a lesson..." Murphy said as he made the first move by charging at Markson.

(ooc- go to 1:20 in the video below for how Murphy is fighting)

As Murphy blocked various attacks he remembered how he promised Clarke that he would always protect her. "I will not lose! I have a duty to protect my wife and future child." Murphy said as he slashed at Markson. Markson blocked the attack before attempting to kick Murphy in his right shin. John jumped into the air before sending a downward slash towards Markson's head. As Markson rolled out of the way Murphy saw Chancellor Abby watching them. He smiled as he flipped his hair back before throwing his baton up in front of him. "I won't let you win! This is my chance to come out on top!" Markson yelled as he ran towards Murphy and slashed horizontally before knocking Murphy's baton out of his hands. Bellamy caught Murphy's weapon and watched what he would do next.

Murphy quickly took out his knife and blocked the next attack as he fell to his right knee in pain. "Damn you...I'm not finished yet! Bring it on! Give me all you've got!" Murphy yelled as Clarke peeked around the corner and saw that he was in a losing position. John saw Clarke and lost his focus for a split second. Markson took advantage of the Lieutenant being distracted and as Kane watched the spar he examined Murphy's moves and fighting methods. "You asked for it!" Markson yelled as he disarmed Murphy again.

As Murphy saw Clarke run towards him he smiled. He watched as she clumsily tripped and fell with her own baton in hand. Markson took this time to strike towards Murphy again. Murphy dodged by barrel rolling to Bellamy and grabbing his baton before blocking the attack and jumping over Markson to land in front of Clarke. "I told you...I will do what I must to protect my family!" John yelled angrily as his rage began to build.

[Clarke Griffin]

Clarke smiled as she hugged Murphy. She said before he left "Bye, I'll see you later." She went back to where all of the injured people were and examined their wounds. She started off by cleaning each of the person's wounds with a rag and water. Clarke repaired each of the person's wounds accordingly. She looked over at her mother who seemed to be watching a fight that was going on. When she was done patching up the injured delinquents wounds she walked over and stood by her mother and watched the fight. She saw that Murphy was about to lose so she grabbed her own baton and started to run towards her lover. Along the way she tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground. She started to get up, but when she looked up she saw John standing in front of her protecting her. "John....Don't kill him!" Clarke said as she looked at John and watched him continue to defend her and their soon to be child.

[John Murphy]

"You okay Princess?" John asked Clarke as he winked at her before ducking under the next attack that was thrown his way. As Markson slashed and spun in a circle he gave John an opportunity to strike him. Murphy took the opportunity to get Clarke out of harms way. As he picked her up and ran low to the ground he stopped and placed her on the ground at Chancellor Abby's feet. "Stay here. Don't worry Princess. I'll be okay...my love." he said to Clarke before giving her a passionate kiss before returning to the fight at hand.

As Murphy ran back towards Markson he prepared to slash at him. As he sent his slash he watched as Kane smiled. Why is he smiling? John thought as he jumped into the air. He slashed down to end the fight, but Markson blocked it and smirked. "I now know your weakness. You're finished!" Markson said as he picked up John's knife and threw it at Clarke. Because Murphy had both hands on the baton that he was locked in battle with he couldn't grab the knife in time. He threw Markson at Kane before back flipping to Clarke and covering her with his body. He took the knife to the same spot on his back where the spear had hit him the previous day. As he was hit he coughed up blood before screaming in pain.

Markson snickered as he put his police baton away. He went to approach Murphy, but Kane had stopped him. "Leave him alone now. The battle is over." Kane said as he released Marksons' arm. Markson scoffed before walking away back to his tent. Murphy attempted to stand up to finish his job, but the pain was too much. He kneeled onto his right knee and breathed heavily as he tried to control his breathing his rage and anger consumed him. "No! I'm not done yet...I will never give in...I will never give up! I will keep fighting until I can fight no more!" John yelled as he forced himself to stand up. His baton was still crackling in his hand as he spun around and charged at Markson. Kane stepped in front of Murphy and blocked his attack. "The battle is over Lieutenant! Put down your weapon and return to your wife." Kane said angrily as he watched John put his weapon away before helping him back over to the medical tent.

[Clarke Griffin]

Clarke thought to herself maybe it wasn't a good idea to get in the middle of the fight. She got up and started walking away from the fight. She figured she would go to the medical tent to see if Murphy was okay and help her mother since it's the least she could do seeing as how she got in the way. Clarke smiled at her mother as she cleaned blood from the wound with a rag and water. She examined the area where the spear had previously hit and it looked like the knife had reopened the stitching so she had to restitch the wound. When Clarke was done with the restitching she said to John "babe I'm so sorry that I got in the way of your fight with Markson."

[John Murphy]

"It's no problem...It actually helped me. I wouldn't have had the courage to finish the fight if you didn't interfere. I was actually going to...nevermind..." John said as he remembered Kane was still nearby. If he finds out that I was going to give in... he thought as he took off his guard jacket. "Lieutenant Murphy! Sir! That was amazing! You really had a few of us worried, sir." Paul said as he saluted Murphy before talking to him some more. Murphy gave him a weak smile. "Thanks Paul. Go see if Markson is okay. Tell him I said good job and to keep up the practice. Dismissed." John replied as he returned the salute before dismissing his cadet. Paul stood at attention before turning on his heel and leaving to check on Markson. Kane approached Murphy and said with a smile, "I knew we made the right choice in choosing you over Markson. Nicely done Lieutenant. If you're feeling better I'd like you to run a patrol around the outside of the camp."

Murphy grit his teeth as he felt Clarke put a bandage back over the wound from the spear. "Yes sir. Clarke...remember the warning whistle. If you hear that get to safety understand? Don't worry about me...I will do whatever it takes to protect our new home." John said to Kane before turning to Clarke and kissing her quickly on the lips. He then put his guard jacket back on before following Marcus Kane to the gate. "Lieutenant Murphy, I'm going with you on this patrol...just in case." Marcus said as he handed John back his baton.

[Clarke Griffin]

Clarke smiled as she looked over at Murphy and shrugged her shoulders as she said "I didn't mean to interfere I'm glad that it helped I guess..." She nodded her head at John "I understand love." She stayed at the medical tent with her mother so that she was there in case there were anymore injured people. She gave Murphy a kiss and said "I'll see you later" before he left to go on patrol.

[John Murphy]

After walking with his soon-to-be father-in-law, Murphy heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes. He drew his gun and walked towards the bush before seeing that it was just a rabbit. "Damn rabbits..." he muttered as he watched it look to the South at a person in a weird looking suit. "John! Duck!" Kane yelled as he fired off a round at the rogue Mountain man. The person in the hazmat suit fell over dead from a bullet between their eyes. John stood up and looked towards the body. "Get back to safety! Chancellor Kane! Go! I'll cover you." John said as he fired at the other three Mountain people.

Murphy quickly gave the warning whistle before he backed up to Kane and followed him back to camp. "Eagle 1 to Brother Bear! Attack south wall! Need backup! Over." John said into his collar's radio. He then heard gunfire coming from the inside of camp. As they reentered the camp Murphy heard the other guards running to assist Chancellor Kane and himself. He quickly scanned the area for Clarke.

[Clarke Griffin]

Clarke smiled looking over at her mother. She asked her "Mom, Do you need help with anything?" She was listening for the whistle which meant for her to go to safety. As she heard a gunshot she stepped outside to see what was going on. Clarke then saw guards from the Ark yelling orders at the Militia. "Grab your guns and help the Chancellor! Move move move move! On the double let's go!" the guards yelled as the Militia delinquents scrambled to get weapons. Clarke heard the whistle very faintly through the yelling. She quickly looked around for Murphy before going back into the medical tent.

[John Murphy]

Murphy continued to defend the base from the frontlines. As Bellamy and Kane joined on either side of him they moved further into the gunfire that was coming at them. Murphy continued to advance forward as he saw even more hazmat suits coming towards them with guns of their own. "What the hell?" John said as he stopped firing. "There's too many...Get back to Arkadia now!" Marcus yelled at John and Bellamy.

Murphy stood his ground as he reloaded his gun. "Not a chance. We can take them." John said as he cocked the weapon and continued to fire and move forward. "Are you nuts? Get back here Murphy!" Bellamy cried as he stepped backwards and began to retreat. Kane followed Murphy a bit further until they came to the first fallen body. Murphy continued to fire at the enemy before taking a bullet to his left knee.

"That was an order Lieutenant Murphy! Get back to Arkadia now!" Kane yelled angrily as he watched Murphy get hit in his knee. John continued into the fire fight with determination. He had had enough and this was the last straw. He was pissed off and Kane knew it too. "I've been hit with a spear, tasered repeatedly while in lockup on the Ark, shocked while down here by the other guards and now this...I've had enough!" Murphy said as he dropped four more mountain men. If I die out here...it was to protect my friends and new family... John thought as he took out three more enemies.

He continued to advance forward ignoring Kane's orders to return to Arkadia. John was on a mission and he was determined to finish that mission. He took three more shots before pulling out a grenade and tossing it towards a group that was advancing on him from the right. As the grenade exploded he chuckled and flipped his gun before firing once more. Where the hell did he get grenades? Kane thought as he checked on the mountain man at his feet. As Murphy continued forward he was hit four more times by bullets. "Bastards! I won't let you near here!" John yelled as he had a crazy look in his eye. He began to chuckle before dropping to his knees. His left knee had buckled and as he fell forward he felt it snap. Not only did John now have five bullets to be removed, but he also had a dislocated leg. Kane looked up and ran to Murphy's side as he picked off a few more mountain men. After grabbing John and slinging him over his left shoulder Kane threw down a few smoke bombs and retreated back to Arkadia.

Once back inside the gates of Arkadia, Murphy was placed on a stretcher and carried over to the medical tent. He had lost a lot of blood and was in a lot of pain. Two bullets were lodged in each of his shoulders, one in his stomach and the final one was near his heart. "Kane...If I die...take care of Clarke for me..." John said as he was laid on the cot. Kane replied, "You're going to be okay son." He then looked at the guards carrying the stretcher and said, "Get him to the medical tent stat!"

[Clarke Griffin]

Clarke stayed with her mother inside the medical tent. There was nothing else she could do besides help her mother. She closed her eyes and hoped that Murphy was okay. She took a glimpse at her mother before asking her "mom are you alright?" before giving her mother a slight smile.

[John Murphy]

Abby heard Kane shout something about Murphy and she stopped working. "Clarke...You need to go with Octavia now..." Abby said as Octavia pulled Clarke away so she didn't see John being brought in. "Come on Clarke! Let's go...Murphy needs our help in battle." Octavia said as she pulled her friend over to a tent and opened it for her. "Get inside. Stay there no matter what you hear got it?" Octavia said before zipping the tent closed and leaving Clarke alone inside. Octavia then sat outside the tent to keep guard in case Clarke tried to leave. Octavia then nodded to Abby who began to get everything ready for surgery.

[Clarke Griffin]

Clarke rolled her eyes as she went with Octavia. She didn't know what was going on so she wasn't sure if Octavia was telling her the truth or if she was lying to her. "ugh... fine I understand" she said to Octavia as she went inside the tent. Clarke muttered quietly under her breath so that Octavia wouldn't hear her "you bastard." She figured there was no sense in fighting so she tried to close her eyes and relax.

[John Murphy]

As Abby examined John's injuries she looked back towards the tent where Clarke was. She then turned back to Murphy and said, "Hold on son...stay with us...If you can hear me squeeze my hand...Don't worry Clarke is resting...she won't know anything unless you start screaming." John blinked once for okay and then he weakly said, "Bells, gag...me..." as he motioned for a gag. As Bellamy helped put the gag on John he said, "Don't worry brother. We won't let you die, just stay conscious. I'll tell Octavia to keep Clarke in the tent until you're all patched up." As Bellamy walked off to talk to Octavia, Murphy attempted to relax as the two shoulder bullets were removed first. While Abby was sewing up the wounds in Murphy's shoulders, he opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

After removing the bullet from his stomach and near his heart, Abby repaired all the tissue and damage that she had done to extract the bullets. The final thing to be fixed was Murphy's dislocated leg. Abby had already removed the bullet from the kneecap and John was ready for the pain. "This is going to hurt a lot..." Abby said as she checked to see if he was still alive. John nodded his head and gave the thumbs up to Bellamy and to Dr. Griffin. Bellamy entered the tent where Clarke was and he closed the flap behind him. Octavia left at that moment and walked over to get some water from the drinking well by the fire pit. Bellamy gave Clarke a smile as he said, "Hey, Princess. You okay?"
