- "Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.I've decided I'll be your Mockingjay, but I have some conditions." Katniss started while taking a pice of paper out and starting to read off her conditions. "Peeta and the other Tributes, Johanna Mason and Annie Cresta, will be rescued at the earliest opportunity. If and when Peeta is liberated, he will receive a full and unconditional pardon. No punishment will be inflicted. And the same goes for the other Tributes."

"No." Coin simply said.

"It's not their fault you abandoned them in the arena. They're doing and saying whatever they can to survive." Katniss said offensive.

"Individuals don't make demands in 13. There will be a tribunal and a fair judgment. Thank you." Coin said blankly.

"The Victors will be granted immunity and you will announce that in front of the entire population of 13. You will hold yourself and your government responsible or you will find another Mockingjay." She finished harshly.

"That's it. That's her. Right there. Isn't that who I promised you? Now if she wears the costume, gunfire in the background, a hint of smoke: Our Mockingjay. Madam President, we're losing ground because the people are losing heart. This is worth the risk. She's worth the risk. Pardons, tribunals, power of the people, it can all be the bedrock of the new Panem. But in wartime I think even the noblest of causes can be bent a little bit. Right?" Heavensbee said.

"Do you have any other conditions?" Coin asked while katniss looked at her pice of paper.

"My sister gets to keep her cat." She stated.

- "Good afternoon. Thank you for interrupting your schedules. They have already been adjusted to compensate for the delay." Coin said.

"I hardly ever see children around here." Katniss whispered to her sister.

"Please, check in with your unit supervisors when you resume work." Coin continued.

"A lot of them were lost in an epidemic a few years ago. Coin lost her family, too. Daughter and a husband." Prim whispered back.

"I have an announcement for the citizens of 13, and our welcome guests from 12. Katniss Everdeen has consented to be the face of our cause to help unite the districts against the Capitol." Coin spoke while Katniss notices Finnick listening in the crowd and make her way towards him."In exchange, I have promised several concessions. First, we'll assess all opportunities for the extraction of the Victors held hostage in the Capitol. Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason..." earning murmur amongst the crowd showing they are not pleased.

"Finnick, I made the deal for Annie, too." Katniss whispers to the golden boy.

"...and Annie Cresta. Once freed, they will be granted full pardon for any and all crimes committed against the rebel cause." Causing a louder reaction of displeasure from the crowd; to Katniss.

"Good. That's good, Katniss." He said gladly. "She's all I got left besides Mags"

"If Katniss Everdeen fails to fulfill her duties, the deal will be off. Thank you for your attention. Please, resume your daily schedules." Coin finished.

- "People of Panem, we fight! We dare to end this hunger for justice!" Katniss yelled awkwardly, just then Haymitch enters slowly clapping his hands.

"And that, my friends, is how a revolution dies." He joked while walking over Katniss.

"Hello, Katniss" he greeted but Katniss only looked at him.

"Is this how you greet an old friend?" he asked.

"Maybe I don't recognize you sober." She spoke harshly.

"I guess it looks as bad as it feels." He stated sadly, everyone walking to watch Katniss video .

"People of Panem, we fight! We dare! We end this hunger for justice!" And the video ended provoking at awkward silence.

"Uh...Madam President, indulge me for a moment, if you would. Let's everybody think of one incident where Katniss Everdeen genuinely moved you. Not...not where you were jealous of her hairstyle or her dress went up in flames or she made a halfway decent shot with an arrow, and not where Peeta made you like her. No, I'd like you all to think of one moment where she made you feel something real." Haymitch proposed.

"Oh." Effie said excited raising her hand up "When she volunteered for her sister at the Reaping."

"Excellent example. Okay. Now..." he said while clearing the monitor. "I hope that wasn't important. Uh...okay."

"Volunteer for sister." He murmured while writing in the monitor "Good. What else?"

"Oh. When she sang that song for little Rue." Effie said again.

"Oh, yeah. Who didn't get choked up at that?" Haymitch joked. "You know, I like you better, Effie, without all that makeup."

"Well, I like you better sober." Effie said with a kind smile.

"When she chose Rue as an ally, as well. Mm, yeah." Beetee spoke.

"Now, what do all these have in common?" Haymitch asked the group.

"No one told her what to do.." finnick said with a genuine smile.

"Unscripted, yes. So maybe we should just leave her alone." Gale proposed.

"And wash her face. She's still a girl, you made her look thirty-five." Boggs stated.

"The opportunities for spontaneity are obviously lacking below ground. So what you're suggesting is we toss her into combat?" Plutarch Heavensbee asked.

"I can't sanction putting an untrained civilian in battle just for effect. This is not the Capitol." Coin interfere.

"That is exactly what I'm suggesting. Put her in the field." Haymitch said proudly.

"No, we can't protect her." Coin continue.

"It has to come from her. That's what people respond to. You want a symbol for the revolution, she cannot be coached into it. Trust me, I know." Haymitch pointed out.

"Maybe there's someplace that's less dangerous." Finnick said.

"District 8. They reported heavy bombing last week. There are no military targets left." Beetee proposed.

"We can't guarantee her safety." Coin insisted.

"You'll never be able to guarantee my safety. I want to go." Katniss said truthful.

"And if you're killed?" Coin asked the mockingjay.

"Make sure you get it on camera." The girl on fire said proudly, being interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Sorry to Interrupt president coin, we got new information" one of the soldiers said.

"From which district?" She asked.

"District 4" he replied "I don't know if it's good news or bad news but we found a girl, with a little boy an a girl walking toward a dock on district four, we achieve to identify the girl" he said proudly.

"And why is she so important?" Coin asked trying to get to the point.

"Because everyone thought she was dead" he replied.

"And she is..?" Coined asked again.

"Sage Abernathy"
