Monty makes a sound next to him and Bellamy can't look over at his face, knows he'd see exactly the same thing he feels every time he looks at Octavia. Fear and pain at the idea of losing someone so close that you can't imagine life without them. Bellamy can't let that happen. Jasper had been the first serious injury on the ground, and he survived that. They can't let him die, not underground, not in this war, not like this.
"Can we do something about it?" he asks Monty, making sure his voice is steady and strong before speaking-- for both Monty and Clarke. Sounding like he's in control is almost enough to convince them (and himself) that he is. "Maybe set off an alarm, a distraction."
Cage has noticed Jasper now and he's making motions to get the guards moving toward him. Bellamy walks over to Monty, eyes still on the screens, and it feels like every one of those faces on the screens is a fist wrapped around his heart and they're all squeezing.
He looks at Clarke to make sure she's okay, then turns his gaze back to Monty. "We need to do something n--"
One moment he's speaking, and in the next he has only a half second of sensation before everything goes dark; a deafening noise, a bright light, the breath being squeezed out of his lungs as something slams into his body.
