Behind the scenes - maze runner fic. PT 2

Part one

Masterlist

Being back on set for Scorch Trials was strange, it had been around a year since the hype had died down from the first movie and you hadn't seen most of the cast for some time as you'd been busy filming another show. At the table read you notice how Thomas and Dylan seemed distant to you. While the others still laughed and joked along with you they seemed to almost actively ignore your jokes. You aren't sure why but Kaya tells you to ignore them, the boys were always doing strange things. It wasn't until halfway through the table read when your phone dinged. It was your agent and they needed to speak to you immediately. There was an article released about your fellow actor on your TV show. They had been arrested and made implications against you. It took almost two weeks but your agents and lawyers were able to get your name removed from all the articles by which time you were starting filming.

You are all sat around the first set in the facility as your characters had just arrived. Kaya begins to speak but her lines get caught up and muddled. Thomas is sitting behind with you close in front and you both laugh. Wes calls to keep rolling but tells you to move back against Thomas. You look at him and slowly move back, till your back is against his chest; he puts his arm around your shoulder. It feels somewhat uncomfortable.

“You didn't think you'd be able to let…go…straight through…” Thomas caught his tongue between his teeth as everyone broke character and laughed at his mess up.

Standing close to Dylan by the now broken window you try to stay in character as he says,

“I wanna go to the zoo and see the Flamingos.” You all break out in laughter. Dylan pulls a silly face at you making you laugh more.

The group rushes up a sand dune and looks out over the land out of shot. You feel the sand move below your feet and then see Dylan falling, he reaches out for your arm and pulls you down with him. The others giggle and pretend to call out for your characters..

Everyone is running forward towards the mostly green screen building. You feel the tiger catching up with you. Her heavy body pushes into you, knocking you to the ground. Happily playing with you she rolls over you before jumping away. Her handler quickly rushes over to calm the animal as Thomas and Ki Hong hold out their hands to help you up.

“You okay?” Thomas asks, seeing you rub your elbow.

“Yeah, I'm good.” You reply before he swiftly turns away from you. Your eyes flick to Ki Hong who shrugs at you.

“Everybody get down, hide, hide!” Dylan shouts as his character. Everyone scatters to their places but Dylan spins a few times. “Where? Where?” He says making everyone laugh. You all reset and begin again. He tells you all to hide again and once more everyone is confused about where to go.

“What did we talk about?” He calls out before grabbing you and lifting you over his shoulder. When he puts you down again you stumble backwards into Thomas. The blonde Teen holds onto your shoulders a little longer than is necessary and you feel a fluttering in your stomach.

The set is darkened and the camera rolling, it's set on Thomas and Dexter with you in the background. The two are saying their lines and the scene is going well until you pull your shirt over your head and got stuck.

“I can't get it off.” You say sheepishly. You hear the boys snickering as one of the AD’s rushes over to you and helps to pull the shirt off your shoulders. The scene is reset and you start again. It happens again and the shirt gets stuck around your shoulders.

“Y/n! Come one!” Dexter shouted with a laugh. Later that day you are walking toward the food hall when Thomas comes up beside you.

“Get your shit together, you better not act like that this afternoon.’ He all but growled at you before he stormed away. Blowing out your cheeks you sighed. You grabbed a plate of food and ate in your trailer before heading back for the afternoon scenes. It was the scene with Thomas where Newt confesses his feelings for your character. You're more nervous than you had ever been for a scene.

“Of course I feel the same way.” you say as Thomas (as Newt) smiles, his hand coming up to cup your face. The warmth of his palm warms your cold skin and you feel those butterflies again. His dark eyes meet yours as you look at each other. Wes calls cut and heads over to you.

“That was great guys. Brilliant work today!”

Thomas looks at you once more and you see something flicker in his eyes but you can't decipher it. He clears his throat and walks away.

Behind the scenes - Maze runner

This is a companion piece with this fic.

(Newt) Thomas Broadie-sangster X reader. Slow burn.

Two requests that I have joined together.

Reader and Thomas could both be actors working on the same project (maybe Maze Runner). Maybe they don't really like each other at the beginning, but they have to go to a special event with the whole cast and Thomas notices that reader is uncomfortable in big crowds and he kind of starts protecting reader.

After you finish Newt x Reader do you think you can make Bloopers?😂 Of course behind the scenes/off-set TBS and Y/N are a couple

You stood beside Ki Hong as he tried to say his lines, but Dylan continued to pull silly faces behind the camera making you all laugh. Four takes later and you hear Wes telling him off which causes you all to laugh again.

Blake (who plays Chuck) is holding a pile of blankets and “Greenie” equipment below the watchtower. He lifts his hand to wave, calling out his line,

“Hey Alby!” The metal bowls and cutlery begin to fall and he tries to catch them. Though he tries to recover the blankets drop and become too heavy in one arm, more and more of the props drop to the grass. Eventually Blake gives up and just shrugs. Your laughter can be heard before you come back into the shot.

You sit between Dylan and Thomas with your backs to a log. It's a night shoot, the first of many to come, and as such you were all feeling a little tired and loopy. The scene was simply, your character and Thomas's would attempt to cheer up Dylan's. The two boys had other ideas and they both began leaning across you making it look like they were about to kiss each other. You give them both a quick flick with your hands when they pull back. Dylan drops his head to your shoulder as he laughs, Thomas, however l, pulls slightly away.

You and Dexter Darden come running into the shot, the camera placed around waist height looking up.

“Newt, what do you see?” Dexter says his line, but you slip on a patch of wet mud and though you grab at Dexter's arm you slide down, hitting the ground. All the boys, camera crew and Wes begin to cackle at your mishap. You stood up as gracefully as you could, but there was definitely a big bruise on your hip that afternoon.

Dylan helped you to hobble about between takes until there was an exchange between him and Thomas. After that Dylan mostly stayed away from you that day.

Most of you stand at the entrance to the maze, as you wait for the scene to begin. Thomas is on your left. You feel Dexter begin to dance beside you, shaking his shoulders and you instantly join in. The tiger playing Mai Mai, shakes her head and starts jumping around you, playfully. Your laughter catches Thomas's attention and he spins his head round to watch you both. A sweet smile crept onto his face.

Dylan is holding a camera in front of him with Ki Hong beside him, they are whispering to the camera.

“Hey, hey look at this,” Dylan turns the camera and quietly sneaks around the door of one of the glade huts. In the middle, on top of a blanket Thomas is lying on his side, reading a book aloud to you. You are stringing together a chord of daisy's that you then place on Thomas' head. His blonde hair and the crown makes him look like a fairy or a grecian god.

“Young love.” Dylan and Ki Hong giggle before rushing away when you notice them there.

In an interview the cast are asked who is more likely to ruin a take and almost everyone points to you.

“Hey!” You protest.

“No, literally you fall over all the time!” Kaya giggles.

“Oh yeah you're right, I have zero balance.” You agree. Dylan pretends to push you causing you to jump and almost fall from your high chair. Luckily Thomas was able to catch your arm and gently push you back into place. Your eyes meet and you share a small smile. The others catch it and a few whispers are exchanged.

The red carpet came, and you walked with the other teenagers. Your confidence was as high as everyone's with the world watching. It was great to spend time with the others again after a short break. As you walked the media line you answered questions they threw at you. For the most part they were all the same until one asked you,

“So, have there been any romances on set?”

“Oh um, no, no-”

As you're talking Dylan and Thomas walk behind you, both of them bent round and kissed you on either side of your face.

“Those two, total bromance.” You laugh.

Maze Runner chapter thirty. Final

Previous chapter

Masterlist

Thomas awakens to a cool breeze blowing through a tent. Clear sunlight beams through.

There is still pain in his stomach when he sits up but the gun wound is mostly healed. Thomas stands up and makes his way out of the tent seeing the beach in front of him. His breath catches in his throat when he looks out across the peaceful scene.

“Is this it?” He asks himself. He can see Minho not too far away and walks toward him. All around people are working and still setting things up but it already looks like a home. Minho walks up to him and the two embrace each other.

“Where's…where's y/n did she-?”

“Yeah, yeah they're over here.” He turns and sees you. Newt is helping you down the slope. He rushes to you both and pulls both of you into a hug. You wince at the pressure on your shoulder. And Mai Mai nudges at his waist. Thomas gave the tiger a good scratch behind her ears and laughed.

“We did it.” He breathes out. He turns and hugs Frypan and Brenda as well. Gally shakes his hand and shows Thomas over to where they had been sitting.

“I can't believe we're here,” He said to you.

“Almost wasn't” you shrug. Thomas brings his eyebrows in together silently asking for clarification.

“If you hadn't given us the serum…” Newt trailed off as Thomas nodded remembering the last moments before he passed out.

As the group chatted, Vince wandered over, his blonde hair tied back behind his head in a ponytail.

“How are we doing?” He asked you all and everyone nodded, “and you y/n, you feeling okay, both of you?” He asks pointedly looking at your stomach.

“Yeah, yeah we're good. Thank you Vince.” You reply.

“Excellent, good to see you properly awake, Tomas.” He claps Thomas's shoulder before walking away.

“Um, both?” Thomas asks, and Newt smiles.

“Yeah,” he puts his hand on your stomach and kisses your cheek.

“How long have I been out?” Thomas asks amused.

“A month, well six weeks, on and off.” Frypan announces with a chuckle.

“Good to have you back, man.” Minho says and you all laugh.

That evening just before sundown Vince called all the survivors together. You sat in your group with Aria, Sonya and Harriet not too far away.

“We have come a long way together.” Vince began, “ So many have sacrificed so much to make this place possible, Your friends and your family. So here's to the ones who couldn't be here. Here's to the friends we lost. This place is for you. It's for all of us. But this, this is for them.” He tapped the big stone behind him with the edge of his knife, “So, in your own time, in your own way, come make your peace. And welcome to the Safe Haven.”

A wave of happiness crashed through you all and the crowd erupted into cheers

“Yeah!”

Thomas looked at you.

“We made it.” He said.

“Yeah we did and now we can live an actual life.” You say to him and flick your eyes across to Brenda who sat only a few people in front of you with Jorge.

Thomas smiled to himself as he looked at her.

Maybe he could be as happy as his friends were, as you and Newt were. He looked at you once more, seeing the way your bright eyes still held tiny black marks around the edges. On your unclothed arm the bite was now a fading scar that matched Newt's. Thomas knew, of course there were scars on both of you that no one could see, but this was a beautiful place to work through them. Paying no attention to him, Newt reached over, cupping your jawline with his hand and pressing a kiss to your smiling lips.

This, this was what they were fighting for and you finally had it.

Thank you all for reading! Leave me comments or pop over to my request.

See you in the next one 💜

Maze runner chapter twenty-nine.

Previous chapter

Masterlist

It was eerily silent in the W.C.K.D building. Ava Paige stands in the middle of a corridor silently looking out over the burning city. Thomas lifts his pistol and points to it towards her.

“You can save us all.” She says to him, Thomas falters and Ava steps towards him.

“It's okay. The two of you are the key to all this. No more trials, no more tests.” She speaks so softly that it makes bile rise in your throat. Or is that the bullet sitting in your shoulder.

‘Just leave the others alone.” Thomas says.

“I promise. I will-” the gunshot shakes Thomas and rings in your ears. It's like someone had reached into your ear and twisted the bones. A hand clutches at your wounded shoulder and holds you against a body. Ava drops to the floor and Thomas looks to Janson, who holds you, his gun ready to fire again.

“Oh, Thomas. You should have run.” Janson jolted his body and Thomas felt a sharp pain in his neck. He looks up at you, eyes blurring but still able to see Janson hitting you with the but if his pistol, before he passes out.

“Thomas. Can you hear me?” Teresa asks as she draws blood from his arm.

“Do you know what this place is, Thomas?” Janson asks from across the room. Thomas looks for you and sees you tied to a bed still unconscious.

“It's a lifeboat. And the whole world might be sinking, but that doesn't mean that we have to go down with it.” Janson finished his thought.

“How much longer?” He asks Teresa.

“It's almost done.” She replies not looking away from her work.

“Why don't you just kill us?” Thomas asked. “Kill you? No, we don't wanna do that. Well, y/n half way there, so we'll drain her of every mast drop but you. We're gonna take special care of you. We'll keep you alive. Just,” Thomas looked over to your still. Body, tubes attached to you that dropped down into bags by the floor, “And in return, you will give life to the rest of us. The ones we choose to save, anyway. Of course, there's not gonna be enough for everyone. Hard choices are gonna have to be made. In time, the Flare virus will burn itself out. The only question is, who will be the ones left standing?” He takes the freshly made serum from Teresa and slides it into a syringe, “And thanks to you, to this, we finally get to choose. A future of our own making. To your health.” he lifts his sleeve and Thomas sees the infection in his arm. Janson is about to slide the needle into his skin when Teresa hits him over the head with a large glass bottle.

“Okay, let's get out of here. Come on.” Teresa grabbed the serum then started pulling at Thomas's restraints. When she got his wrist free she rushed over to you and started pulling the tubes off you.

Before Thomas could get his legs free Janson stood up and grabbed Teresa. The two of them fought over the serum until Janson managed to knock Teresa out. Thomas ran over and started fighting with the older man.

You opened your eyes and saw what was happening. A blast came ringing through the windows knocking both men to the ground and you run with Thomas and Teresa. Janson fire his gun towards you all. Teresa guides you all into another room where she closes and locks the door.

“We need to get out of here.” Teresa breathes out. You were leaning against the wall as Thomas turned, his hand pressing against his stomach and a large blood stain.

“What's wrong?” Teresa asks darting to him.

“Thomas?” You push yourself off the wall as the other two slid to the ground.

“ Okay. Okay, we need to.” Oh, shit... Here! Just put pressure on it.” Teresa grabbed a bundle of cloth and holds it to the wound.

“You gotta go. You both gotta go.” Thomas pants out.

“No.” You growl at him.

“Not without you.” Teresa says.

Steam hisses at the door and you all know Janson had entered.

“I admit, Teresa, you had me fooled. I thought we were friends. Maybe it's just in your nature to betray the people closest to you.” He walked in, not noticing you slide against the glass wall on the far side. Behind you two cranks fight to get out to you.

“Come on. Let's not prolong this. We both know there's no way outta here. Let's not make this any more painful than it needs to be.” He plants himself firmly almost directly in front of you and you smile. This was your moment. Taking in a long breath you punch your hand through the glass and let the cranks bite into your flesh. It hurts but you don't scream.

Janson spins to see you and laughs.

“You've killed yourself.”

You smile at him this time and draw your hand back.

“No Janson, the virus doesn't kill y/n.” Teresa says calmly, helping Thomas to stand.

“You think he's so special? You're a lab rat, born with a gift. You never had to fight for it, never earned it. None of you doesn't deserve it.” Janson shouts.

“Maybe,” you twist your head so your neck crack and you feel the new strength pulsing through your veins, “But it's ours.” You take a step forward and Janson steps back.

“Don't you have enough blood on your hands already?”

“One more won't make a difference.” You leap forward with inhuman ability and land into his arms, sending you both to the floor. Your hands rip into his chest. Like an animal you tore Janson apart. Teresa helps Thomas to stand and moves him away from the two of you. Blood quickly stains your hands. You blink a few times and stumble backwards.

“Y/n? Y/n we have to g…go.” Thomas pants out. His voice sounds like he's behind glass in your ears.

“We have to get back to Newt!” That name caught your attention and you turned to face them. Your black eyes take Thomas's breath away for a moment.

“Come on.” He says to you and reaches his hand out. You rush forward and pull his weight on to you. More and more cannons were firing into the building, shaking your steps. Teresa guides you to the stairs and you pull Thomas on to your back to climb them.

At the top you all rush out onto the roof. The whole city is burning and there is nowhere else for you to run. Thomas drops to the floor and Teresa holds him in her lap. She glances at you as you drop to your knees a few feet away.

“Thomas, she'll need this.” She whispers to him and slides the serum into his hands.

You kneel there knowing that at any moment everything could change. The virus running through you did not turn you the way it did other people, your blood fight against it, but if you didn't get the serum you succumb to it and your blood would do the only thing it can and kill the source of the virus. Teresa knew that that meant you would die.

“I'm sorry, I tried.” You hear her say to Thomas.

A burg rises at the edge of the building. You know Teresa is helping Thomas but you can't move. Your legs just won't move. The hatch of the burg opens and everyone is there. Vince reaches out to Thomas but he can't quite reach.

“Get closer!” Teresa shouts she gives Thomas another push and Vince finds his hand and pulls him across.

Teresa turns back to and runs over, grabbing your shoulders.

“Come on, y/n come on.” He pulls at you but you can't move.

There's a moment of silence and you hear a roar, a roar that fills your heart. You feel the fur of Mai Mai against you and your hand grips around her neck. Teresa helps to pull you on to the tigers back.

“Go!” She shouted you feel Mai Mai moving, leaping and landing and then above you Newt's eyes meet yours. Gally is beside him and they hold onto you as the burg is rocked by an explosion. Vince tries to help Thomas but shoves the serum into his hand.

“She'll die, help her.”

Maze runner chapter twenty-eight

Previous chapter

Masterlist

You follow Teresa into an elevator and stand behind her between the two boys. The doors begin to close but an arm stops them and Jansen steps in. He stands beside Teresa and Thomas clenches his hand around his gun.

“You're working late.” Jansen began, “See, that's what I like about you, Teresa. No matter how bleak things get, you just…Well, you never give up. Times like this, you need a friend that you can count on.”

“I'll bear that in mind.” She replied to him her eyes fixed on the closed doors.

“There is one thing you should know. One friend to another. Thomas is here. A surveillance picked him up outside the walls. Ava didn't want you to know, but there is a chance that he may try to contact you, and if he does, I'd like to think that I'd be your first call.” Jansen said, giving her a sideways glance.

“Are you going to kill him?” She asked.

“Would that be a problem?” the lift stopped and the doors opened.

“This is me.” She steps out and the three of you follow her. Janson watches until the doors close again.

“Thomas, you have to listen to me. You know

what's going on out there. People are dying. The world is dying. There's something about

your blood I don't understand.” She tries to talk to him.

“Like mine?” You say.

“Ignore her, she's trying to get in your mind.” Newt growled.

“Open it.” Thomas pointed at a glass door and Teresa used her thumb on the lock.

“If you let me run some tests, I promise I can protect you.”

“Yeah? Like you protected Minho? Or y/n?” Thomas ripped his helmet off his head.

“What are you doing?” Newt asked him.

“How many people is it gonna take? How many more people do they have to round up,

torture, kill? Huh? When the hell does it stop?” Thomas spat out his words at her.

“It stops when we find a cure.” she fights back.

“There is no goddamn cure!” Thomas's lip quivers with his words.

“Don't waste your breath, Teresa. He made his choice long ago.” Jansen called from behind Teresa, his pistol drawn and pointing at Thomas.

Thomas pulls his own gun and grabs Teresa holding the barrel to her head. Guards come inh running from down the hall.

“Tell them to back off. Tell them to back off!” He shouts.

“Hey, Thomas, come on. It's me. I've known you longer than you can remember. You're not gonna shoot her.” Janson goads him

“You don't think so?”

“Okay. Go on then. Shoot her. Prove me wrong. Shoot her.” Jansen shouts through gritted teeth. You know forwell that Thomas won't do it. You pull off your mask and hold your gun to her.

“He won't but I will.” You say and for a moment Jansen falters. As a unit you step back through the door holding one hand on Thomas's shoulder and the other pointing your gun at Teresa. At the last moment you shove her forward and she jolts to the lock, closing the doors and leaving herself on the other side from you all.

Jansen shoots at the doors but they are bulletproof. Having gained time the three of you walk away.

You try to stay as inconspicuous as you can as you walk through the halls, orange lights spinning in warning and an alarm going off. People watch as you walk past.

“What was that?” Thomas asks you.

“What was what?” You reply

“That, you would've shot her.” It wasn't a question and you knew it.

“It isn't the time, Thomas.”

At that moment he stopped, his attention drawn away from you by a woman at the end of the corridor. You breath caught in your throat when you saw her. She looked so calm and comfortable. Her blonde hair left down and no sign of her usual stiff dresses. Ava Paige was right in front of you and you couldn't move. Thomas lifted his pistol towards her.

“Thomas! No!” Newt grabbed at him as Jansen came rushing from behind. Your feet finally work and you follow the two boys. Bullets ricochet off the walls.

“Minho? Minho!” Thomas shouts

Guards are running from all angles and you can just keep running so all three of you are shooting back.

“Newt, get down!” Thomas shouts as he pushes you around a corner. “Shit! I'm almost out.” he admits to you and you check your weapon. Newt grabs an electrical grenade from a guard's body.

“Get back.” He holds you to the wall and throws the grenade.

“Nice. All right. Let's go! Go!” Thomas says pulling you both around another corner.

“You three, freeze!” A guard has you cornered, “Get down on the ground. Now! I said get your-”

The guard is cut off by being smashed into. Minho slams him into a wall then, whilst shouting at him, shoves the guard through a glass window.

“Minho.” you all run to him and hug him.

“Is this real?” He asks you.

“I got him! I got him! Over here.” More guards appear behind you.

“Go! This way! Come on!” Thomas leads you all through the corridors, more and more guards closing in on you.

“In here, in here” he kicks open a door and you all run into the small room. Newt and Minho shove furniture in front of the door as you and Thomas look around the room.

“Oh, shit.” Thomas breathes out.

“Any ideas?” Minho asks as the guards try to get into the room.

“Maybe.” Thomas grabs one of the large metal containers through the windows.

“Okay, it's doable. Just need a little running start.” Thomas says as you all looked down to the water below.

“You sure about this?” Minho asks.

“Not really.”

“Nice pep talk.” you say

“Yeah, we're all bloody inspired.” Newt rolls his eyes.

Behind you the door opens just enough for Jansen to fit his head and shoulders through. He pushes and you all start running. The boys don't hear the gunshot but you feel the bullet.

You hit the water and for a moment you aren't sure you're going to come back up.

The boys help you and Minho out of the pond, though you make sure to hide the pain in the back of your shoulder.

Almost instantly several guns cock behind you and you turn seeing the guards.

“You three, don't move.”

“Oh, you gotta be kidding me.” Thomas reaches for the pistol on his thigh.

“Take it easy. Uh-uh-uh! Don't even think about it. Get on your knees with your hands in the air.” the guard on the right swiftly turns and shoots the other three guards before running over to you and pulling his helmet off.

“Gally?” Minho gasps.

“Minho. You guys are nuts.” Gally laughed.

“I'll explain later.” Thomas patted Minho on the shoulder.

You follow the boys as Gally leads you through the area. Your head feels dizzy and you drop behind. Thomas is close enough behind you that he notices and comes to your side.

“What's up?”

“How far are the tunnels?” You ask, still trying to hide your pain.

“Uh, maybe twelve blocks from here. We can make it.”

You nod and blow air out of your lungs.

“Y/n, what's going on?” Thomas asks, seeing the blood dripping over your hand.

“I'm fine, let's just get to Brenda.” You huff and push yourself onwards. Four blocks go past and you are slowly being surrounded on all sides.

“Why you helping us, Gally? I put a spear through your chest.” You hear Minho ask.

“Yeah. Nobody's perfect, man.” Gally pats him on the shoulder before darting away.

You all drop down behind a short walk. There are fires, police and W.C.K.D soldiers everywhere. There's an explosion and part of the wall comes down.

“We're supposed to take down WICKED, not the whole damn city.” Gally says, ashamed.

“Tunnels are right up ahead,” Minho says to you all.

“Shit! Hey! Stay low! Stay low!” Gally calls as you slink down against the wall. There are soldiers lining up on the street.

“What are they waiting for?” Minho asks and as if in answer to him, the rebels from the outer city come charging forward. Thomas helps to pull you up to your feet and you all rush into. Building to hide. He grabs his walkie talkie.

“Brenda, are you there?”

“Thomas, I'm here. Shit! You okay?”

“We're not gonna make it.” He says.

“Wait, what are you talking about?” Brenda is panicked by his words.

“Brenda.”

“I'm not leaving you. Okay? So forget it.” She says.

“Even though you should?” Thomas asks her.

“Thomas, don't worry. I'm coming to you. Just look for us near the tunnels.” She clicks off the radio.

“Let's go, guys! Move! We gotta go. We gotta go.” Thomas says to you. Newt looks back at you finally seeing your pale face.

“ Go without me,” you say, “You should just go.” You cough and a splash of blood splatters from your mouth.

“What are you talking about? Y/n we can't leave you.” Newt takes your hand.

“You have to.” you say “Newt, you have to go ahead, get things ready to treat…” your eyes close as you try to steady your breathing. “there’s something I have to do.” You say.

“No, I'm not leaving you.”

“Minho, Gally take him, get him back to the others.”

Gally nods and grabs Newt's shoulder and pulls at him. The blonde boy fights against his friends not wanting to go but they manage to get him to stand still with them.

“I'll see you soon.” You say to him and they pull Newt away. Thomas stands beside you.

“Are you ready?” You say to him.

“We should've told them.” He says helping you to stand.

“They wouldn't have left and you know it. We have to kill her.” You turn and start walking back to the W.C.K.D building.

“Hey, the guys are ba- oh whoa. Sorry, I'll just…” Brenda backed out of the door and closed it behind her as you both scrambled to stand up and pull the rest of your clothes on. She laughed when you stepped out.

“Saving someone's life really gets you hot I guess.” She cackled. You followed her down stairs in silence, to where the others were coming back in. Gally guided and hooded Teresa to a chair and plonked her onto it.

“Hey, are you-” Thomas walked over to Newt.

“Yeah, yeah I'm okay, everything's sorted.” Newt patted Thomas's arm.

You all sat around a small table, part of you wanted to rush forward and rip her flesh from her body. Feeling your breath speeding up, Newt takes your hand and presses a soft kiss to your knuckles.

Gally pulled the sack off Teresa's head and she gawked at him.

“Gally?”

Of course, you thought, she didn't know he was alive. He perched on the edge of the table, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Here's how this is gonna go. We're gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know. We'll start off simple. Where's Minho?” he stood, dragged a chair over in front of Teresa, slamming it down and sat down.

“You guys don't seriously think-”

“Don't look at him.” He interrupted her, “Why are you looking at him? Look at me. He's not gonna help you. Now, we know you have Minho in the building. Where?”

Teresa glanced her eyes across of all of you, finally reaching you, a small gasp leaves her lips.

“He's with the others in holding. Sublevel three.” She admits.

“How many others?” Newt asks.

“Twenty-eight.”

“I can make that work.” Brenda grins.

“No. No, you guys don't understand. The whole level's restricted. You can't get in without a thumbprint ID.” Teresa explained.

“That's why you're gonna come with us.” Thomas said.

“Well, I don't know. We don't necessarily need her. Right? Not all of her.” You say with a hard tone, Gally grins at you.

“We just need her finger.” he stands and grabs a knife from the table.

“Gally, back off.” Thomas said, you wanted to kick him.

“What, are you squeamish? I guarantee you she's done a lot worse to Minho. She did a hell of a lot worse to y/n.” Gally narrowed his eyes on Thomas.

“That's not the plan. Back off.” Thomas stood and took the knife.

“It won't make a difference. Do whatever you want to me. You still won't get through the front door. The sensors will pick you up the-”

“We know. We're tagged. Property of WICKED. You're gonna help us with that, too.” Thomas cut her off.

“What are you going to do if I refuse?” Teresa asks. Thomas sighs.

“Mai Mai.” Are the only words you need to make the tiger roar, her deep voice echoing through the old church.

Frypan went first, Gally, Newt then it was your turn. Your heart felt like it was flipping in your chest.

“I don't, I can't…” Newt grabbed your hands.

“It's okay, we're right here with you. She can't hurt you.” He promises you and walks you over to the chair. Teresa absentmindedly rubs at her arm just below the shoulder and you recall slicing at her with a scalpel. You sit with your back to her and Newt pulls your hair to the side.

“Y/n, I'm sorry, I was just trying to make the world better.” She says to you and your body stiffens.

“Just do your job, now “ Newt bit at her with hard eyes. She cut into the back of your neck in two places releasing the clasps on the tag before sliding it out through your skin. Teresa presses a small cloth to catch the bleeding. Newt grabs it from her and touches it to your neck before moving you away from her. Your body feels like it's shaking but you can't be sure if you're even standing by yourself.

“Hey, hey come on it's okay, calm down.” Newt helped you to sit beside Gally.

“Are you gonna be able to do this with us?” Gally asks moving closer to you, “It's okay if you can't.”

“No, no, I'll be okay.” You assure him and try to calm your breathing. Newt moves across to another table where he grabs the soldier uniforms that had been gathered by Gally's people. Thomas sat down in front of Teresa.

“Try to relax. This is gonna sting.” She whispers.

“Let's just get it over with.” He bites at her.

Teresa began the same procedure she did on you and others. Her eyes flick over to Brenda and Jorge giving each other a hug.

“She's looking good. Healthy. How've you been getting her serum?” She asked.

“What are you talking about?” Thomas replied.

“Brenda. I didn't think she'd still be alive. When was her last treatment?” She elaborated.

“At the Right Arm. The last time we saw you.” Thomas admitted.

“But that was months ago. Thomas, that's not possible. She should have turned by now. There's no way she could possibly still-”

“All right, that's enough.” Thomas ordered as he stormed away.

“You don't believe me?” she followed him.

“Do you really expect me to? You made your choice.” He scowled at her.

“Everything okay over here?” Gally asks, stepping up behind them.

“Yeah. Yeah, we're done.” Thomas turns on his heel and marches over to where Brenda is loading guns. Teresa turns herself slightly and goes to pick up the scalpel but Gally grabs her hand.

“Nice try.” He walks her away.

“You were in love with her, weren't you?” Brenda asks Thomas

“I don't know.” he answers honestly. There was something about her that was entwined in his mind, but the only representation of love he had was you and Newt. And he knew he didn't feel that deeply for Teresa as Newt did for you, but still she was in him.

“Just be careful. You sort of have this problem where you can't walk away from people. Even when you should. You can't save everyone, Thomas.” Brenda said to him, their eyes meeting as she hands him the pistol. He had to admit where Teresa was inside his mind Brenda stood beside her.

“I can try,” he replied. Brenda gave him a sad smile and walked away.

You went with the others into the city, through the sewers. You were now wearing the same uniform as the others with masks covering your faces. You had left Mai Mai with Brenda so even with Frypan and Gally beside you, you felt overly exposed.

You see Teresa walking in with a man behind her and you know it is Thomas. Another man, with a red uniform steps up to them, it's Newt. They walk in a different direction and the three of you also begin to move. Frypan breaks away from you as you and Gally walk through a gap in the glass wall, falling into place in front of Teresa and the boys. At the bottom of a set of concrete stairs Gally moved to an electrical box.

“I can get in here.” He said, pulling his mask up. Once in Gally breaks the wires and lets you all into the restricted area whilst also sending the signal back to Lawrence.

You stood beside Teresa as the boys kicked open the door to the holding bay. They fire their weapons and kill the guards inside. The sight brings flashes of memories through your mind that you try to shake away.

Newt ran forward when the foreign was over as Teresa used the control panel to unlock the cells. Inside were children, more children than you had ever seen in one place. They all gathered into the middle of the room.

“Shit, he's not here.” Thomas said and your stomach dropped. “Where is he?” Thomas got too close to Teresa. She turns back to the control panel and looks through it. Seeing her like this reminds of your time here and you instinctively squeeze the gun in your hand.

Newt grabs you.

“No.”

“What's happening to me?” You ask him.

“She's more trouble than she was worth.” Teresa announced across the room, keeping her eyes on the computer.

“What?” Thomas asked and Newt put himself between you and her.

Teresa sighed, “nothing.” She shakes her head, “Somebody's moved him up to the medical wing. Thomas, that's on the other

side of the building.”

“Okay, take me to him. Right now.” Thomas replied like it was nothing.

“All right. Let's go.” You say moving toward the doors.

“Y/n maybe you should stay here with Gal-”

“No, it's Minho.” you say and everyone in that room knew there was no arguing with you.

“Hey, Greenie. Good luck.” Gally called to Thomas as you all walked out.

You watched as the boys left before turning back to Newt. He was lying on an old pew with you in a chair beside him. He had begun sweating and shaking occasionally during his sleep. 

Mai Mai stalked around you making sure no one other than Brenda and Jorge could get close. 

“So what do we do?” Brenda asked. 

“I'll need to draw blood from myself and from his infected arm. We mix them and then inject the whole lot back into him.” You explain. 

“And then it just kills the virus?” She asks, leaning on the back of the pew. 

“Yeah, it's not as technical as what Mary did for you but it'll work.” You grab the needles from the table and find a vein in the crook of your elbow. Your hand shakes as your mind recalls the things that happened to you. A strong hand laid over yours. 

“Let me do it.” Jorge said in an almost whisper. You nod and let him take the needle from you. Training your eyes on Newt you hold your breath as the older man draws a vile.of blood from your arm. He placed a small cloth over the puncture mark when he pulled it out and you thanked him. 

“Just take a few drops from him.” You ask. Jorge does as you asked, drawing tar-like blood from Newt's bite wound. 

“So how does this work?” He asks. 

You tip Newt's blood.into the vile of yours and shake it. Then you use a pipet to take out a few drops and put them on a glass slide. 

“Here, look.” Jorge looks into the old microscope, “my blood, and Thomas's it kills the virus. In everyone else the immunity only fights it, keeps it low but ours actually kills it. Mine isn't like his though, it isn't as proactive I suppose. We have to start the process first and then administer it.” You explain as you turn to Newt. He shuddered against the cold of the virus. Jorge moves aside so Brenda could also look in the microscope. She realised now why everyone had been so cautious with her. Any other person would have turned by now but it was Thomas's blood that had cured her. A real cure.

“This is going to get worse before it gets better.” You warn them, “we might need to hold him, Mai Mai.” The tiger understands you and walks over, she places her large paws on Newt's chest. 

You take a breath holding the now mixed blood in a new syringe. It slides into Newt's skin easily and you push down on it until every last drop is inside him. Newt's body convulses, black blood sputters out of his mouth and his eyes shoot open. They're dark and frightened. Mai Mai let out a small grumble as his body moved uncontrollably. A strangled screech came out of his throat as he tried to push the tiger away.

You hold his arm, watching as the black veins slowly retract back to the wound. He sputtered again, vomiting the black substance onto the floor. Mai Mai pushed his body back to lying down.

His breathing slowed until it was peaceful and gentle. Newt's eyes fluttered closed again. You allowed yourself to take in a breath to steady the emotions that were fighting to get out. 

“What do we do now?” Brenda asked. Mai Mai licked at Newt's face before she slid off him and laid down on the floor beside him. 

“We wait and see if he wakes up.” You say. 

“Wait and see?” Jorge asks. 

“I’m not a doctor, Jorge, I don't know everything.” You reply holding back your tears. 

“Y/n, look.” Brenda brought your attention back to Newt who had lifted his hand to his forehead. 

“How much of Gally's homebrew did you give me?” He laughed. 

“Newt?” 

His eyes open and he gives you a smile. 

“How do you feel?” you ask. 

“Better.” He starts sitting up and you tell him to take it slow. 

“That worked quickly.” Brenda muses, grabbing Newt's arm to look at the wound, “there's hardly any sign of it.” She smiles, “you're a medical marvel, y/n” 

“You can't tell anyone.” Newt suddenly says. 

“He's right.” Jorge interjects, “If anyone finds out about this, y/n will become a target, even more than she is already.” 

You all agree and decide it would be best you cleaned up swiftly so no one else would know. 

There was still some time before the others would be back so you and Newt made your way up to the roof of the church. There was a small wooden balcony area that you thought was simply perfect. The sun had gone down and if you were honest to yourself the outer city looked beautiful at night. On the ground there were several fire pits, groups of friends huddling together for warmth and comfort. You and Newt placed a blanket on the floor to sit on and then wrapped one around your backs sitting together. 

“We shouldn't keep secrets from each other y/n” newt said quietly. 

“No, we shouldn't, but what if those secrets could change the way you look at me?” You answer. Newt takes hold of your chin pulling you round to look at him. 

“Nothing will ever stop the way I feel about you, you understand? We have all done things we wish we could change, that's the world we live in now. I just, I'm sorry I didn't get to you before you had to do anything.” He admits and swallows the emotional lump forming in his throat. 

“How did you find out?” You ask. 

“Gally, they had a man on the inside.” 

“Oh.” You turn away from him again.

 “What happened? What caused that reaction?” He asked you. With a deep breath you looked back at him. 

“That anger that you felt, it was like that, only I was completely focused on getting out. On getting back…back to you. I didn't know what I was doing. It's like I said before about the visions they were making me see, I thought it was that again. That I just had to fight or I'd be…” you bite your lip between your teeth before you continue, “I heard once that if you die in a dream, you die in real life. So I thought I had to do it. I didn't know it was real people.” Tears were freely falling from your eyes. Newt pulled you into him and wiped away his own tears. 

“I love you.” He repeats into your hair.

“I love you too, Newt.” 

He brings your lips to his and kisses you.

 A new desire took over you both as he laid you back on the blanket, his hand cupping the back of your head. Newt's body hovers over yours as his hands begin to explore your curves. You push at his jacket until he shrugs it off his arms and drops it somewhere behind you. Newt's pelvis rests on yours as he moves his hips in tandem to the kissing. 

“Newt.” You let his name fall from your lips. 

“Do you want me to stop?” He asks in a whisper. Looking into his dark eyes you knew there was no way you could turn back now. 

“No, I mean…I want…” 

“Tell me.” He presses a kiss to your jawline. 

“You, Newt, I want you.” you push the words out as your back arches up into him

“Be careful Thomas.” Brenda said to him as you all followed Gally to a tunnel in the ground. You stood beside Newt holding onto his jacket.

“Can't Fry go?” You say to him, with a pout. Newt curled his lips up in a laugh before brushing your hair back behind your ears and kissing you.

“I'll be okay. We'll be back before you know it.” He tries to reassure you as he sits down to tie the loose shoelace on his new clothes. You do not miss the slight shake of his hand as he does it.

“Hey y/n, I promise I'll bring him back to you.” Gally smiles, it hadn't been that long but your old friend looked so much older than he did before. You thank him and give Newt one more kiss before moving back beside Frypan, who rubs your shoulder comfortingly

“Well, I wouldn't mind betting that tiger is hungry,” Lawrence announced from his door. Mai Mai shook her body excitedly.

Gally led Thomas and Newt through the sewers into the main city beyond the wall. Hundreds of people walked in all directions, some with masks on their faces. The city was almost beautiful, with it's tall sleek buildings and thousands of lights.

Gally takes them through the streets as a mandatory curfew comes I think action and police cars patrol.

The three boys climb up a grey wall to one of the highest levels. There was a small set up of blankets against the wall and Gally pulled out a large telescope, setting it up on the railing.

“Lawrence has been trying to find a way in for years. Place is crawling with soldiers. They got surveillance everywhere. Scanners on every floor.” He explained.

“Sounds like a bloody fortress.” Newt mused.

“Yeah, I thought you said you had a way in.” Thomas scoffed.

“I might.”

“You might? What the hell do you mean "might"?” Thomas could feel his anger bubble up again.

“Take a look.” Gally gestured to the telescope, “ I said I had a way in. I didn't say you were gonna like it.”

Thomas looked through it and saw the one person he had spent six months trying not to think about. Teresa, there working inside working.

“Look after y/n’s antics here they really locked down the place. It's harder than ever to get in.”

“Y/n’s antics?” Newt asked.

Gally sighed, “she hasn't told you, has she?”

“Told us what?”

“We had a guy on the inside. There was all this chatter about new human trials happening, then it all went crazy. Crick told us that they had a girl in there, the first thing she did was smash up a whole ward, then she was given something, the virus I think; but we don't know for sure. It didn't do to her what it did to us but it gave her strength. Like crazy stupid strength. She tore at least ten men apart trying to get out. It took like seven knockout darts to take her down. I didn't know it was y/n until we got security footage almost a week later and by then they'd moved all the kids.”

“I don't…why wouldn't she tell us that?” Thomas looked at Newt who was chewing on his finger. A million thoughts were going through his mind.

“Would you tell us if you massacred a bunch of people?” Gally shrugged, "there were rumours that she almost got the kids out as well. Security got really tight after that. Ava closed the doors that week."

“We should go back to the others.” Newt says.

“Yeah, hey maybe I shouldn't have told you, y/n won't be-”

“DON'T TELL ME WHAT Y/N WOULD WANT!” Newt shouted before composing himself again, “I know her better than anyone.” He breathed heavily and Gally put his hands up in front of him in surrender.

“Yeah of course you do. I wasn't…”

“Let's just go.” Thomas said, grabbing Newt's shoulder.

“No. There's gotta be another way.” Thomas shook his head and moved back to the table you all sat around.

“Like what? You've seen the building. She is our only way in.” Gally repeated.

“You really think she's gonna help us?” Thomas argued.

“I don't plan on asking for her permission.” Gally replied flatly. You didn't like the implications of his words.

“Am I missing something here? This is the same girl who betrayed us, correct? Same dick?” Brenda scoffed.

“I like her.” Gally laughed.

“What, are you afraid your little girlfriend's gonna get hurt? Hmm? Because this has obviously never been just about rescuing Minho. Has it?” Newt spat out from his seat beside you.

“Wait, what are you talking about?” Thomas asked.

“Teresa. She's the only reason that Minho's even missing in the first place. Now we finally have an opportunity to get him back. And what? You don't want to because of her?” Newt stood and stepped closer to Thomas as he spoke, causing Thomas to slowly step back toward the wall, “Because deep down inside you still care about her, don't you? Just admit it.” There was a venom I. His voice you'd never heard before.

“Newt, I-”

“ Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me!” He grabbed Thomas's jacket and shoved him against the wall. Seeing then what he had done,Newt blinked rapidly and tried to calm his breathing. “Sorry. I'm sorry.” Newt whispered before darting from the room. You look to Thomas and then darts after Newt.

He sits on the edge of the tall building.

“Newt?” You fears of his accident in the maze were flooding back to you. He looked back slightly.

“Sorry about that. Back there. I guess I can't

hide this anymore.” He lifts the arm of his jacket and shirt to show you the bite wound. It was dark around the edges and his veins were filled with the darkness.

“Why didn't you tell me?” You sat beside him but not fully on the edge.

“Didn't think it would make any difference. All I know is that WICKED must have put me in that maze for a reason. Maybe it was literally

just so they could tell the difference between immunes like you and people like me.”

“No Newt, I saw all of your files, you're immune just not as immune as me. I think, I think you're like Gally, but I can help you.” you slide your hand into his, entwining your fingers.

“I don't…y/n I don't want to be one of those things.”

“I'm not going to let that happen.” You say kissing him.

“We have to save Minho.” He reminds you.

“No, Gally, Thomas, and Fry can get Teresa, you and me are staying here. I can fix this.” you hold his head in your hands so he has no choice but to look into your eyes. A tear drops down his face onto your wrist.

“Guys?” Thomas's voice sounded from the door. You weren't sure how long he had been standing behind you but by the looks of his face it had been some time.

“I'm sorry, Tommy.” Newt moved away from the ledge and stood up, before he could take another step Thomas threw his arms around him.

“We can fix it?” Thomas looked at you and you nod.

“I need some equipment but yeah I can.” You say.

The street was filled with people, all of them crowding towards the city entrance.

“That's it. That's our way in.” Thomas called back to you all.

“Thomas! This is not what you're looking for. All these people trying to find their way in, you think you're gonna find something they can't?” Jorge implored your friend, “we aren't exactly inconspicuous” he finished by pointing at Mai Mai. The nine foot tiger did stick out a bit.

“We Came this far. I'm not turning back now.” Thomas argued back.

What the hell have we gotten ourselves into?” Frypan said as you're all jossaled toward the metal fence.

There are men in gas masks around with weapons and one in particular catches your attention. He keeps circling you all and speaking with the other masked men. Something about him felt familiar, the way he held his shoulders. The one that appeared as some kind of leader had rilled up the masses and they were all shouting and protesting about getting into the city.

“This doesn't feel right.” You catch Jorge saying to Thomas.

Newt feels your anxiety and rushes over to Thomas.

“Guys, we've gotta go now. Look” they all turn and see the masked man that is trying to push through the crowd towards you. Just as you're all about to start running there is a siren blast from the city and you turn the six giant missile launchers on either side of the gate twist and point directly at the crowd. Panic takes over the crowd and everyone is scrambling away as the the city begin taking fire.

You run as fast as you can, following Fry down a side alley between two broken buildings.

Coming through the other side you all run straight into the masked men. The one you had recognised grabbed your shoulders and basically threw you into the back of a van. To your surprise Mai Mai was calm and simply jumped in beside you. It was a short drive to wherever they were taking you but you all stayed silent. The masked man who had put you in the van had not gotten in with you, instead three others sat with you.

The vans stopped moving and the men got out pulling you along with them and surrounded you. Newt was at your side, pulling you into him. You hear shouting coming from the last van as it shakes. The doors fly open and two men come tumbling out before Jorge leaps onto one of them.

“Where is she, you son of a bitch?” he shouts.

“I'm right here. I'm right here!” Brenda rushes over to hand grabs his back. “ All right. Okay. I'm right here. I'm right here!” She repeated until he looked at her

“Oh, Brenda.” He grabbed her into him in a hug.

“Everybody relax. We're all on the same side here.” The man who had caught you called out.

“What do you mean same side? Who the hell are you?” Thomas asked. Mai Mai pushed past Thomas and rubbed her head into the man's waist. He stroked behind her ears and pulled off his mask.

“Hey, Greenie.” Your heart began to beat too fast.

“Gally?” His name tumbles from your lips.

There is a beat of silence before Thomas leaps at Gally and punches him in the face.

“No!” You shout

“No, wait!” Frypan calls. Newt grabbed at Thomas's shoulders and dragged him backward.

“Stop! It's all right!” Gally instructored the other men.

You rush past the others and throw your arms around Gally and he gladly hugs you too him.

“He killed Chuck.” Thomas panted. Mai Mai slowly walked between the boys.

“Yeah, I know. I remember. I was there too, all right?” Newt says.

“I also remember that he was stung and half out of his mind.” You scowl at Thomas.

“Just calm down. All right? Come on.” Thomas pushed back on Newt and walked away a little.

“Kind of had that coming. Anybody else? Fry? Newt? Y/n?” Gally asked looking down at you. You laughed and walked back over to Newt, who whilst looking directly at Gally slid his arm around your shoulders and kissed the side of your head.

“Do you know this guy?” Jorge asked.

“He was an old friend.” Frypan explained.

“How? How is this possible? We watched you die.” Newt asked.

“No, you left me to die, y/n was the only one who tried to… if we hadn't found you when we did, you'd be dead right now. What the hell are you doing here?” Gally asked.

“Minho. WICKED has him here. We're looking for a way in.” Newt says.

“I can help with that. Follow me.” Gally turns and you take a step forward but Newt pulls you back.

“I'm not going anywhere with you.” Thomas spits out.

“Suit yourself. But I can get you through those walls.”

You look around at the boys and shake your head.

“You're all idiots, show me Gally.” You say stepping over to him. Thomas made to argue but Mai Mai huffed at him before following you. The boys shrug at each other

“ After the maze, I got picked up by a group headed to the city. They realised I was immune, patched me up, and they brought me here to Lawrence. This group's been at war with WICKED ever since they took control of the city. But WICKED can't hide behind those walls forever. Day's gonna come, and they're gonna pay.

“Wait, we saw you Gally, you were turning, how did you survive it?” You ask him.

“I dunno, just after I laid there for what felt like days the anger I was feeling just melted away.” He admitted.

“I'm really glad you're okay.” You say to him, making him smile down at you. Gally leant in a little closer to you.

“So Newt finally got the balls to ask you then?” He grinned and you glanced back at the boys following you. Newt drew his eyes in when he realised you were talking about him.

“Yeah I guess he did.” You giggle.

Stopping at a door Gally turned back to you all.

“Listen, uh, he doesn't get a lot of visitors. So, let me do the talking. All right? And try not to stare.” He explains. That made you nervous so you fell back slightly to stand between Newt and Thomas. Newt flinched slightly when you touched his arm though he tried to hide it.

Gally shows you into the darkened room. There are plants growing all around itm looking around you notice how it looks so homely compared to the rest of the place. Two men were standing at the far end. The smaller of the two appeared to have an IV bag attached to him.

“Rose took my nose, I suppose. Rose took my nose, I suppose. Suppose, suppose, took my nose...I suppose.” He spoke with a sing-songy voice. He turned at the sound of you all entering the room. His face was hidden in the shadows.

“Gally, glad to see you made it back. Jasper told me what happened.”

“It was a slaughter. There's nothing we could do against those guns.” Gally spoke solemnly. You knew you should be feeling sorry for the people that lost their lives but hearing Gally speak and be well just alive in front of you made you so happy.

“No, but they can only poke the hornet's nest so long before they get stung. Now, who are these people? Why are they here?” He finally stepped into the light and you saw his face. He was a crank or at least somewhere between crank and human. Where a nose must have once been was now an empty void to his skull. Glancing at the IV bag you realise it's the blue liquid that has been made so many times.in front of you. Thisan was living on borrowed time on an ineffective cure.

“We need to get into WICKED. Gally said you can get us through the walls.” Thomas said as respectfully as he could. The man rolled his eyes at Gally.

“Gally should know better than to make promises that he can't keep. Besides, that wall is only half your problem. Getting inside WICKED is impossible.” The man said shrugging is off.

“There might be a way now But it doesn't work without Thomas.” Gally admits.

“Is that so? Do you know what I am Thomas?” The man stepped closer to your friend, “I am a businessman which means that I don't take unnecessary risks. Why should I trust you?”

‘'Cause I can help you. You see, if you can get me through those walls...I can get you what you need.” Thomas said confidently.

“What is it that you think I need?” He tilted his head to the side so he could truly take in Thomas's eyes. Disgruntled with the man's closeness to her people Mai Mai took her place in front of you all, warning off anyone who would get too close.

“Time. Every last drop.” you say, his eyes train in on you.

“Is that what I need?” He smirked.

“WICKED has something we both want.” Thomas drew Lawrence's attention back to him.

“I'll tell you what. Two can go for now. The rest and the cat stay down here with me. Just a little insurance to make sure you find your way back. We have a deal?” Lawrence holds out his deforming hand and though reluctant Thomas shakes it

“Gally, show him the way.”

Just a short bit

“nice and slow.” Frypan said more to himself as he started driving into the tunnel. It was dark enough that he had to turn on the car's orange headlights.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” he stopped the car when he saw a Crank standing just ahead of you.

“It's okay. It's just one, so take it slow, go around him. We'll be fine.” Thomas assured him.

“Take it slow. Take it slow.” Fry repeated to himself. You hear Mai Mai emite a low rumble in her chest and then her paw swiped at your window. You looked to see a female crank at the door.

The car was suddenly surrounded by them and Frypan floored it. One of the Cranks leapt onto the bonnet.

“Come on, Fry shake him!”

“I'm trying.”

Fry is able to smash the crank against another car which knocked him off. The car swerves a little Fry is unable.to get control of it back, causing the vehicle to drive over a small pile of boxes. You felt yourself spinning and hitting the roof of the car. The impact of it causing your head to smash against the window. There was a moment of silence before Thomas spoke again.

“Everyone okay?”

“My hand. My hand.” Frypan groans.

“Fry, cover your eyes.” Thomas kicked the glass from the window and pulled himself out. Frypan and Newt fall out the other side, Newt clutches his forearm for a moment. Mai Mai shoves her bodyweight against the back, knocking it out and pulling you with her.

“Oh, shit. You okay.” Newt runs over to you. Your forehead is bleeding.

“Yeah. You all right?” you ask him.

The crank they had knocked off the car growls in anger and hunger. His growl echoes off the tunnel walls. Thomas shines his light to see him there.

“Oh, shit.” New goes for his pistol but it isn't there. You give him the one from your hip as you pull your sawed off shotgun from the car.

“we gotta move. Now!” Thomas shouted at him. Frypan grabbed his pump action from the car and you all started running. The noise had drawn more cranks from both ends of the tunnel. Frypan and you use the shotguns to fire at as many as you can. Mai Mai lashes out at any that get too close.

“I'm out!” You call.

“Me too!” Frypan throws his weapon to the ground. You all move in closer together, you pull your knife from your belt and Newt momentarily squeezes your hand.

Sure you were about to fight to the death you didn't believe the headlights that were racing towards you. The new car burst the crowd of crank, running them over and stopping metres from you. Brenda stands through the open roof and starts firing her pistol.

“Quick get in!” She shouts and you all obey. You, Newt and Thomas clambour into the back seat as Fry and Mai Mai jump into the back.

“Go!” Brenda commands Jorge who takes no time in speeding through the other side of the tunnel and back out into the light. Jorge drops the armoured window.

“I'm impressed! You guys almost lasted a whole day.” He chuckled.

“You good?” Thomas asks you both.

“Yeah.” Newt replies but his tone didn't sit right with you. He looks at you and presses his thumb to just below the cut on your hairline.

“I'm okay.” You promise him.

Brenda turns her body to look back at you all, shaking her head.

“I'm sorry. I didn't wanna bring you guys into this.” Thomas sheepishly admitted.

“I think what he's trying to say is thanks for saving us.” Fry interjects with a pat on Thomas's shoulder.

“You're welcome.” Brenda laughed.

“Hey, don't get your hopes up. That checkpoint back there, that was the city's

last defence. If that was overrun, chances are the city is, too.” Jorge said seriously.

“Yeah, unless they figured out some other way to keep the Cranks out.” Newt says, looking out the window.

The car stops and you all get out looking across the valley to the city. A great high wall surrounding it.

“Funny… Spent three years trapped behind walls, trying to break out, and now we wanna

break back in.” The breeze blew through his golden blonde hair as he spoke.

“Yeah. It's hilarious.” Fry tutted making you laugh.

“Jorge, how do we get in?” Thomas asked. “Don't look at me, hermano. Those walls are new. I guess that's WICKED's answer for everything.” Jorge said, removing his leather gloves.

“Well, we ain't gonna figure it out from up here. Let's go!” Brenda said with a smile. The others start getting in the car but Newt steps.over to Thomas.

“You really think he's in there?” He asks.

“I guess we'll find out.” Thomas sighed.

“You know she's gonna be there, too.” you all knew who Newt was talking about. You had mixed feelings about seeing Teresa again. She had been in the room every time you were subjected to their tests.

The two boys got back into the car, Newt wrapping his arm around you.

“There, that's it. It's a few hundred miles.

Based on the railways, everything that Aris

told us, that's gotta be where they're headed. That's where they're taking Minho.” Thomas says to Vince. You, Newt, frypan and Brenda stand around the table looking at a map. Newt holds both hands around a hot coffee.

“We take everyone who can fight. Follow the roads where we can. We can make it back

within a week.”

“A week? It took us six months to get here.” Vince gawked at him, “We got over 100 kids here now. We can't just hang out here forever after what we just pulled.You wanna wander off to some random point on the map. You don't even know what's there.” The older man argued.

“I do.” Jorge announces from the doorway. He leans one shoulder against the wall with his hands in his pockets, “It's been a few years, but I've been there. The Last City. That's what WICKED called it. It was their whole base of operations. If that city is still standing, that's the last place you wanna go, hermano. That's the lion's den.” He said walking up to the table.

“It's nothing we haven't done before.” Thomas says.

“Yeah, with months of planning, and reliable information, the element of surprise, none of which we have now.” Vince reminded him.

“Vince, I've thought this through. Would you just hear me out?”

“The last time we went off half-cocked...I lost everything.” Vince raised his voice to cut Thomas off, “ You remember that? Look, I know it's Minho. All right? But you can't ask me to put those kids on the line for one man. I won't do it.” As he spoke the radio behind you and Newt flickered with white noise and then voices.

“Searching the grid now. A is completed. Scanning B-sector now.”

“Shit. Hit the lights. Let's go, let's go!” You all scatter to other positions helping to secure the base.

“Newt, he's going to try and go without us.” You pull your boyfriend closer to you. He sighs and looks towards the door where Thomas and Vince had left.

“I know. Pack a bag, it's time to go.” He kissed the side of your head and darted over to Frypan. You bent down to Mai Mai at your side.

“Hey girl. The boys and I are going to go get Minho. Are you coming?” You ask her. The tiger bangs her large head into you. If she could talk you know she would be scolding you for even asking.

The three of you waited until it was lights out for everyone before making your way to where the cars were parked. Newt helped you to climb into the back of a 4x4 as Frypan entered the driver's seat and the tiger got in the trunk. Newt waited outside.

It wasn't long before Thomas car.over the small ladder bag in hand.

“Where do you think you're going then?” Newt flicks on a light. “Don't be a twat about it. I'm already in. Come on.” He turned toward the car.

“No. No, not this time. Look, even if we find Minho, there's no guarantee we'll make it back from this.” Thomas didn't want his friends getting hurt again.

“Well, you'll need all the help you can get then, won't you?” Newt opened the front passenger door clicking on the interior light, Frypan leaned over and you popped your head through the back window. Newt lent back, his shoulder by your cheek.

“Well, we started this together. May as well end it that way, too.” He said almost triumphantly.

“Okay,” Thomas knew at that moment that this was his family and you were stuck together like glue, “Let's go get him back.”

Fry drove slowly out of the facility to not wake anyone else. Once far enough out he began driving faster. Comfortable in the back seat you slid over to Newt and pulled his arm around you so your back was resting against his chest. He looked down and smiled as his hand brushed back your hair before taking the weight of your head. You had missed looking into those deep brown eyes. Newt bent his neck and pressed a gentle kiss to your lips.

“Hey, we all missed you y/n but can we keep the PDA to a minimum in the backseat.” Frypan laughed, making you all laugh with him. Thomas turned his whole body to look back at you.

“Y/n, I know it's hard but can you tell us anything else?” He asked you. It had been three days since they'd rescued you and though they had spent a long time talking with Aris and Sonya they had mostly left you alone. You sigh and sit back up but stay close to Newt's side.

“I don't remember much, after I stabbed a couple.of doctors they kept me mostly sedated.” Newt gave a little chuckle, “At first we were kept in a building, it was like a hospital. They did experiments, like the blood exchange and then when it didn't work they…” you felt the memories flooding back to your brain, “they used something, I don't know what it was but I kept having these really vivid dreams. Like I was back in the maze. You were all dead, sometimes you were there. There was a lot of running. They took samples from my wound.” You hold your hand out so they can see the bite mark. What should have been no more than a fading scar by now looked raw and irritated. I don't remember much else.” You admit.

“Aris said you and Minho kept trying to escape?” Thomas asked.

“Yeah,” you nod with a shaky breath, “they kept putting us in rooms together so we'd try to get out. The last time, we had thirty kids with us and we almost got there but then, it was a bloodbath, they just shit everyone. Those that didn't die were put back in the system. I…Ava said I was only gone for a little while, a few minutes at most.” Tears were welling in your eyes and you felt no need to hold them back. You glance at Newt you had stiffened beside you.

“What do you mean gone?” He asks, panicking in his voice. Slowly you pulled away from him slightly and pulled up your shirt. There just below your breast on the right side was an old bullet wound, stitched and cared for.

“All I remember is pain, everything hurt, and I was tired. More tired than I have ever been. I don't…I..” newt pulled you against him in a crushing hug and you feel Thomas rub his hand on your knee. In the front seat Frypan wiped tears from his eyes.

“That ain't right man. They just killed a bunch of kids.” He sighed, fisting the steering wheel harder.

“I'm so sorry we didn't find you sooner.” Thomas admitted. Mai Mai hung her head over the back seat to press against you.

The rest of the drive was done mostly in silence. As the sun rose you approached a mountain that had a dark tunnel running through it. Around the tunnel there was a series of temporary buildings and metal chain link fences. Abandoned cars lined each side of the road. Frypan pulled the car up just outside the tunnel and you all got out. Newt was in front and he put his hand on his pistol.

“You want us to go in there?” He looked back at Thomas, “ I don't wanna come across as too negative, but if I was a Crank, that's exactly where I would be.” He sarcastically said taking your hand as you walked up to him.

“I don't think we have much of a choice.” Thomas sighed.

“All right.” Newt shrugs and you pull him back to the car.

“Well, here we go.” Frypan said restarting the vehicle.

“Yeah, just take it slow” Thomas said

Maze runner chapter twenty one Death Cure.

Masterlist

Newt lay in his hiding place, the sun hot above him as he waits for the signal. It had been six months of waiting, of looking and planning. Six months of living without you by his side. It had taken four days before fatigue finally took him over and allowed Newt to sleep. Not even Mai Mai pressing herself against could stop the nightmares. Every night Newt would dream of you, of losing you, of living without you. He didn't know how much longer he could do it. Newt needed you now more than ever.

His biggest regret was the doubt he had felt, even just briefly it had been there. When he had learnt of Ava's breeding experiment he had wondered if it was all fake. If he never truly felt love for you. Had his feelings for you been manufactured by some evil doctor? Yet as he lay in tears again on the fifth night, Mai Mai pressing against him, Newt had known that the heartache he was feeling was real.

The sound of the train coming breaks his thoughts and Newt peaks over the mountain top.

The train came apart and rolled to a stop. That was his signal, Newt leapt up and ran over to the metal vehicle. Using a very large blow torch he melted the hinges and locks that held the carriage to the base of the train. His heart beat uncontrollably in his chest as he worked. Soldiers closing in.

Finishing it, Newt climbs the ladder to the top, Thomas following him. A burg that Jorge, Brenda and the others had just stolen hovered above them releasing cables down which the boys attached to the carriage. When Vince grabbed the ladder Jorge lifted the carriage and they flew away, leaving the W.C.K.D soldiers behind.

Newt held his breath as Vince used the blowtorch to break through the locked door. It fell down with a thud. Thomas and Newt stepped in, their breaths were taken away by the sight of so many teens chained to the train. A few seats in they see Aris and Sonya, Thomas stops to speak with them as Newt passes him.

“Newt?” Your voice was like a song to him, calling to his heart. He hardly wanted to believe it when he saw your face. Your hands were pulled high above your head lifting you off the ground at the very back of the train car. He rushed up to you.

“Y/n, thank god.” He pressed his lips to yours, but you were weak to weak to really kiss him back. Vince came.pver to you and started cutting you down.

“Newt! He's not here.” Thomas said.

“What?” Newt looked around at the frightened faces looking back at him. None of them Minho.

Having cut you down Vince holds you against his side.

“Newt, here you go.” He says, helping you over to him. Newt grabs you and leads you out of the train. Frypan spots you and comes.running over.

“Hey, y/n.”

“Hi Fry,” you say with a dry throat and reach out for him. He takes your hand and helps to support your weight into the medical building, where they lay you on a cot. Aris and Sonya follow you in.

Newt grabs you some water and helps.you to drink it.

“Where's Mai Mai?” You ask.

“She's working, helping out with the other kids, she'll come up soon.” Frypan assures you. Across the room Thomas steps in, coming to your side.

“Hey,” he leans down and presses a kiss to your forehead.

“Here, drink this.” Harriet passed Aris and Sonya mugs of warm tea.

“Took you guys long enough to rescue us” Aris laughed.

“It's good to see you, too, bud. So what happened?” Thomas asked, pointing to the bruise on Aris’s left eye.

“I fought back. Tried to, anyway.” Aris said.

“You're lucky you found us at all. They had us

on the move a lot. It felt like something big was happening.” Sonya explained.

“Any idea where they were heading?” Newt asked, he had perched beside you on the cot.

“All I know is they kept talking about a city.” Aris said.

“I didn't think there were any cities left.” Harriet shook her head.

“That's because there aren't. Not still standing, anyway.” Brenda pitched in. She stepped across to you, putting a comforting hand on your shoulder.

“Okay, wait. What about Minho? Why wasn't he on the train?” Thomas asked.

“I'm sorry Thomas, he was.” Aris admits.

You push yourself to sit up, drawing everyone's attention.

“They wouldn't let us be close.” You say. Sonya laughed.

“They're what kept the rest of us going. Tried to escape anytime they put the two of them in the same room.” She giggled, “It was brilliant.”

“What did they do to you?” Newt asked. He was supporting most of your weight.

“They kept taking blood, they couldn't make it work. So they just kept taking more.” It was hard to speak through your exhaustion.

Aris lifted his arm, showing needle track marks.

“They tried giving it to us. Y/n’s blood to see if it would mix with ours.”

“Did it?” Thomas asked sceptically.

Sonya shook her head.

“There's something else. When I was with Teresa, she kept leaving me alone and I was able to look at her notes. Almost everyone in the maze was related to someone else, but they didn't keep them in the same groups. Frypan, I'm sorry but your brother…” you trail off but he just nods at you.

“Thank you.” He says quietly.

You look between Newt and Sonya, only now seeing the similarities in their eyes, their hair and their smiles.

“Newt, Sonya is your sister.” You push the words out before lying back on the bed. Newt turns to the girl beside Aris. She breathes out a heavy breath. Without speaking the two stand and cross the room, grabbing each other in an embrace.

“Hi brother.” She says to him.

After a little while the others head out for food leaving you and Newt alone.

“I'm sorry, we didn't get to you sooner.” He says to you, stroking back your hair.

“Sorry I couldn't escape.” You laugh back to him. Newt bent down and kissed you once more before a doctor came over to check on your wounds.

"Hello, Thomas. I'm glad you're safe.” Ava Paige walked out of the burg in her signature white coat. Teresa walked behind her.

“What the hell?

Teresa?

“Wait, what's going on?” Newt asked.

“She's with them.” Thomas sighed.

“Since when?”

“Teresa always had an evolved appreciation of the greater good. Once we restored her memories, it was only a matter of time.” Janson explained with a triumphant grin.

“Where's y/n?” Newt asked.

“She's safe, don't worry.” Ava smiled, but it did little to reassure Newt, his heart felt like.it might burst from his chest.

“I'm sorry. I had no choice. This is the only way. We have to find a cure.” Teresa said. Newt fought against his restraints but one of the soldiers forced him back to the floor and held a gun to his back.

“She's right. This is all just a means to an end.You used to understand that, Thomas. No matter what you think of me, I am not a monster. I'm a doctor. I swore an oath to find a cure! No matter the cost. I just need more time.”

“More blood.” The doc walked through the crowd.

“Hello, Mary. I hoped we'd meet again. I'm sorry it had to be under these circumstances.” Ava said.

“I'm sorry about a lot of things, too But not this. At least my conscience is clear.” The Doc said.

“So is mine.” Ava smiled. Janson fired his pistol, hitting Mary in her chest.

“Mary? Mary?” Vince grabbed her as she dropped.

It was as if the world stopped for a moment as the doctor took her last breaths.

“Come on, Janson. Don't forget the tiger.” Ava turned and walked on to the burg, guiding Teresa alongside her, “Load them up. Let's go. All these people. Get rid of them.” Janson started shouting orders to the soldiers.

“Let go of me!” Vince huffed.

“Sonya! Aris!”

“Let's go!” Too many Voices spoke at once.

“Get back!” Thomas jumped to his feet, pulling Jorge's bomb from his coat. “Everyone, stand back! Stand back!” He shouted, flicking open the detonator.

“Hold your fire!” Janson called out.

“Stand back. Let 'em go.” Thomas demanded.

“Thomas, put it down.” Janson warned.

“Let 'em all go!”

“You know I can't do that!” Ava says to him.

“Thomas, please stop. I made a deal with them. They promised we'd be safe. All of us.” Teresa comes back down the ramp on the Burg.

“And I'm supposed to trust you now?” Thomas growls.

“It's true. It was her only condition.” Ava says.

“Shut up!”

“Everything can go back to the way it was. Thomas, do you really want all of them to die? For y/n to die?” Ava stepped closer to him.

“Listen to her, Thomas.” Teresa begged. “Think about what you're doing.” Ava implores him.

“We're with you, Thomas.” Newt, stands at Thomas's back.

“Do it, Thomas.” Minho says.

“We're ready.” Frypan agrees.

“We're not going back there.” Thomas shakes his head.

“Thomas?” They see the fear in Ava’s eyes.

“It's the only way.” Thomas closes his eyes and braces himself

In that exact moment a car horn blares through the silence.

Jorge sped in through the crowd

The distraction gives Vince and the other adults of the right arm a chance to get back to their weapons.

“Get her out of here!” Ava shouts shoving Teresa back toward the burg.

“Get out of here! Go!” Janson shouts at his.men. They grab as many of the immune children as they can and retreat to their ships.

In the chaos, they don't notice Minho being shot by the taser rounds. He falls to the ground as electricity surges through his body. The soldiers drag him back with them.

“Minho! Minho!” Thomas sees him but it is too late. The burgers take off. Newt runs out below them, he can't think what to do, his best friend and girlfriend were taken, out of his reach.

Mai Mai l, who had now awoken leapt out in front of him, knocking him back so a stray bullet narrowly misses them both.

“No, no.” The tiger shoves her whole body against him. In her way she tries to comfort him as Newt cries.

“Come on, come on, Newt. Get up” Frypan pulls his friend up his shoulder and drags him away with the others.

Newt wanted to wallow in his sadness but there was too much to do. Bodies were laid flat and fires put out. Equipment was checked through and all around people salvaged what they could. What was once a peaceful place now was tainted with despair. Thomas filled his backpack with tinned food.

“What do we do now?” Frypan asks, he sat close to Newt and Mai Mai, neither of you had moved for sometime.

“Well, we pick up what's left of us. We stick to the plan. We get you kids to the safe haven. Then we start over, I guess.” Vince explained.

“I'm not going with you.” Thomas said.

“What?” Vince narrowed his eyes on the dark haired boy.

“I made a promise to Minho. I wouldn't leave him or y/n behind. I have to go after them.”

“Hey, kid, look around you. All right? WICKED just kicked our ass.You think about where you're headed.” Vince tried to argue.

“I'm not asking anyone to come with me.” Thomas continued.

“Thomas, listen to me. I've known Minho and y/n for Well, as long as I can remember. So, if there was any way that we could help him, trust me, I would be up there standing next to you. This, what you're talking about, is impossible. More like suicide.” Newt said, a tear dropping from his eye. The tiger let out a low growl deep from within her chest. She shoved her shoulder into Newt's hip and stepped over to Thomas.

“Maybe, but I know what I'm supposed to do now. It's not just about Minho or y/n. It's about all of us. It's about everyone WICKED's ever taken, everyone they will take. They'll never stop. They'll never stop,

so I'm gonna stop them. I'm gonna kill Ava Paige.” Thomas said with sheer determination radiating from him, beside him Mai Mai stamped her foot and huffed out a breath through her nose, her eyes locked on Newt's. He nods to her.

“Yeah, yeah you're right. Let's do it.” He agreed.

“I have to admit,” Harriet agreed, “I'd like some revenge.

Well, that's a good speech, kid. So what's your plan?”

You wake in a bed, a white room surrounded you with bright yellow.lights blurring your vision. There is a low beeping of machines close by and you can hear people talking.

“Do you think this is enough?” Teresa says, you turn your head towards her and see her with Ava. The older woman holds up a tray filled with vials of blood.

“For now, we can start testing these straight away.”

A doctor approaches your other side and you feel him touching your arm. You lash out at him knocking him to the ground and you throw your legs off the bed.

“Y/n!” Teresa shouts.

“Y/n, stop. Just listen to us! You're about to save the world.” Ava implores you to calm down but you yanked the needles from your arms and stumbled away from them. Ava darted across the room, hitting a large green button on the wall. A soldier came running in and instantly hit you with the buy of his gun. You fall to the floor and he grabs you, restraining your arms behind your back with cuffs.

“Take her to the others. We have enough for now.” Ava orders him.

Maze runner chapter nineteen

Masterlist

Newt walked with you to the med tent where Thomas was sitting inside. The doctor was talking him through the immunity process having taken some of his blood, processed it and administered it to Brenda.

“Sorry Doc, we were just wondering if you check y/n’s arm.” Newt said sheepishly, concern filled Thomas's eyes.

“Sure, come here.” She patted a stool for you to sit on.

“She was…bitten about four days ago.” Newt said. The doctor looked at him and then you, suddenly very worried. Having removed your coats you hold your arm out to her and she gawks at it. She takes hold of your arm and twists it a little really taking in what she was seeing.

“You were bit by a crank?” She asks and you nod, “and nothing, no symptoms of turning?” You shake your head. “This is remarkable. You're healing wonderfully. Even with other immunes I've never seen this.” She uses some medical equipment to clean up the wound a little and ensure no other infections could get in before wrapping it in a clean white bandage.

“Usually, with immune kids we see them turn to some degree, they get the anger but after a few days it subsides. Do you mind if I take some of your blood? Just to take a look?”

You agree and she draws the smallest amount before putting on a glass slide to check below a microscope.

“Fascinating. Your blood is actually killing the virus.” She laughs, “wow no wonder she wanted you.”

“In the maze, well the control room I saw a list of the kids. Me, Newt, Minho and Thomas were highlighted. I'm not sure why.” You say.

The doctor thinks for a moment, then darts from the tent, leaving you all alone.

“Why didn't you tell us, y/n?” Thomas asks.

“I was scared, after Winston I just…” meets hands rubbed your shoulders and he kissed the top of your head. It seemed like now he had done it once there was no way he would stop kissing you, any part of you.

The doctor came back in with a folder of things in her hands.

“Here, look, the four of you scored the highest on all the tests, Minho a little lower but you three, you were her hopes. She put you two in early to try the breeding experiment.”

“The what?” You gawked, “what are those?”

“Thomas sent them to me, it's a copy of Ava's notes. Ava was convinced if immune kids had children together it would yield more immunes and better results. A master race of guinea pigs.”

“That's why they did the pregnancy test.” Thomas interjected.

“The what?” Newt looked between you all.

“At the facility.” You say quietly. Newt thought for a moment and then said, “I need to go.” He turned on his heel and left. You weren't sure what to do so you just sat there awkwardly.

“Come on, let's get you some food.” The doctor led you out.

The rest of the day seemed almost uneventful as you all settled into this new life. You ate and talked with other immunes and finally started to feel like you might be safe. The boys and you all take a seat on top of a small rock formation. Mai Mai sat beside you and Newt on the other side. The sun setting over the idyllic setting.

“I wish Alby could've seen all this.” Newt said.

“And Winston.” Frypan agreed

“And Chuck.” Thomas played with the small figure Chuck had made.

“He'd be proud of you, you know, Tommy.” Newt said to him.

“Yeah.”

“And Gally.” You sigh. Newt pulls you closer to him, wrapping his arm around his face. Thomas looked at you with his eyebrows drawn in.

“He was my friend, all he wanted was peace and safety for all of us.” You try to sniff away the tears.

“Yeah, yeah he did.” Minho agreed with a sigh.

“Hey, Aris!” Frypan called down to him

“Hey, guys!” Aris waved back, he was sitting between Harriet and Sonya. In a way it felt like he should've been sitting with you.

“I kinda like that kid.” Frypan laughed.

“Yeah. I still don't trust him, though.” Minho joked. You all laughed for a moment. Newt removed his arm from you and blew onto his gloves hands. He shuffled himself slightly away from you so you weren't touching anymore.

“Hey, where's Teresa?” Thomas asked.

“She went up there.” Newt pointed to a higher Rockford where Teresa was standing looking out to the horizon. As he walks away you turn to Mai Mai and stroke her. The tiger puts her large head on your lap and the warmth of her seeps into your skin.

“Guys, I'm really glad we all made it.” You say to them.

“Yeah, us too, y/n” Minho reached across and patted the tiger. You look at him but are distracted by two lights in the distance.

“What is that?” You ask standing up. The others turn and look. Several burgs were flying in and the noise that had been creeping up, now deafening.

“Run!” Frypan shouted as he grabbed your hand.

The chaos was instant, with people running around in every direction you got separated from the group. You trip on a rock and hurtle to the floor. Before you could stop him a man was kneeling above you. You struggle against him and manage to kick him off but as you scramble to your feet an explosion goes off beside you. It sends you flying into a pile of boxes. Your head smacks against the floor.

“It's the girl, get her in the burg.” you hear a voice you recognise commands a soldier.

You're too weak to fight back. In the distance you see Mai Mai defending Newt before being stunned by an electric shot.

The next thing you feel is cold metal against your face. Your hands are bound and then Teresa is standing above you but you can't hear what she is saying. A sharp scratch in the side of your neck has your eyes dropping and then, nothing, darkness

You're woken by Mai Mai licking at your face. Newt gently turns the tiger away and you realise you're resting in his lap. His big brown eyes meet yours and he smiles.

“Good morning sweetheart.”

You sit up and look around, Thomas was also just waking up and Brenda was sitting on a couch with a blanket over her legs. The man from the front was tied to a chair and the others stood around the room. Jorge punched the man.

“I suggest that you talk! You son of a bitch! Damn it!” Jorge growled.

“I'm sorry… you're going to have to leave my house.”the man coughed.

“Looks like you've been having fun. Listen. I don't enjoy hurting you. Where is the Right Arm, Marcus?”

“Wait, this is Marcus?” Thomas stands up.

“The kid catches on quick. Are you the brains

of the operation?” The man you now knew was Marcus said.

“I know you know where they're hiding. So you tell me, and I'll make you a deal. You can come with us.” Jorge explained.

“I burned that bridge a long time ago. Besides, I made my own deal. You're the one who taught me, never miss an opportunity.” he laughed.

“What's he talking about?” Newt asks.

“I'm talking about supply and demand. WICKED wants all the Immunes they can get. I help provide that for them. So I lure the kids in, they get drunk, they have a good time. And then, later, WICKED comes in… they separate the wheat from the chaff.” Marcus explained, laughing again. He ignores the blood running down his face.

“I changed my mind, hermano. I do enjoy hurting you.” Jorge kicks the chair Marcus is tied to over and pulls his gun out. “Talk! Talk!”

“Okay! Jesus! But I'm not making any promises. These guys like to move around. They have an outpost in the mountains but it's a long way away. You got half of WICKED on your ass. You're never gonna make it.” Marcus coughs out.

“Not on foot. Where's Bertha?” It was Jorge's turn to smile.

You all pile into the car. It's a little cramped, even with Mai Mai in the trunk with Frypan. You sat on Newt's lap in the front seat, Brenda beside you with Minho, Aris, Thomas and Teresa in the back. The drive was actually nice. You all had a new set of supplies you had taken from Marcus. There was a nice breeze blowing through the car that cooled off the hot sun and it felt nice to be close to Newt again. There was a jovial air amongst your party that eased you all. Jorge drove along a road that led up the mountainside.

He stopped the car and you all tumbled out. There were a number of cars abandoned on the road.

“Well, I guess we're on foot.” he announced the obvious to you. As you walk it feels too quiet to you and apprehension tickles your nerves.

Thomas notices a bullet hole in a car windscreen, he brings his fingers up to it and a bullet whizzes past him. You all rush to hide behind the cars. Mai Mai pushes you and Newt against a car covering you with her long body. You clutch your arm to your chest and Newt sees you. The foreign stops and it goes quiet until you hear a female voice talking to Thomas and Jorge, a rifle pointed at them.

“On your feet, let's go!” The two women call you all over to them and you step forward with your arms up. The woman with the dreadlocks lowers her gun.

“Oh my god Aris?” She pulls her mask off.

“Oh my god, Harriet?” Aris rushed past you all and grabbed the woman. She was no older than any of you. The other girl pulled her mask off and ran over.

“Sonya.” Aris hugged her as well.

“Aris you're lucky we didn't shoot your dumb ass.” The blonde laughed.

“What's happening?” Minho asked.

“We were in the maze together.” Aris explained. Harriet used her fingers to send out a loud whistle.

“We're clear guys, come on out!” She shouted.

“Copy that, all clear.” A man's voice called back. Looking around the mountain tops you see several people standing up with weapons.

“Whoa.” You breathe out.

The two girls show you all up through the mountain to a set of cars.

“Err the tiger will have to go-”

“She stays with me.” You say leaving no chance for an argument.

“Sure.” Harriet gives you a tight grin and shows you to the second car. Mai Mai jumps in with you and Newt. They drive you to the main base. It's a series of tents and a hive of work. Easily over a hundred people were scattered around the base. Delicious food was being cooked nearby and you could hear laughter, genuine happy laughter.

“Where's Vince?” Sonya asked one of the men who pointed to his left.

“Whose Vince?” Thomas asked.

“He's the one that decides if you get to stay.” Harriet replied.

“I thought the right arm was supposed to be an army.” Thomas said.

“Yeah, we were. This is all that's left of us. Lot of good people died getting us this far. Who are they?” A man with blonde hair and a rough tired face stepped up to your group.

“They're Immunes. Caught 'em coming up the mountain.” Harriet explained.

“Did you check 'em?”

“I know this guy, Aris. I trust him.” She pointed at him.

“Well, I don't. Check 'em.”

Just as the other men were coming close to check you all Brenda gasped for air and fell forward, collapsing on the floor.

“Brenda! Brenda!” Jorge and Thomas jumped to her.

“What's going on?” Vince asks.

“Brenda! Brenda. Brenda, talk to me.” Jorge pulls Brenda on to his lap and holds her.

“ I'm sorry. I'm sorry.” She sputters.

“What's going on with her?” Vince growled.

“I don't know. Brenda, are you all right? Brenda? Talk to me.” Jorge begins to cry. Vince steps up to them and pulls her trousers leg up exposing the posing wound.

“ What the hell?”

“Shit!”

“Crank! We got a Crank!”

Several.of the men draw their weapons and point them at Brenda.

“ No!” Thomas leaps in front of them, “Listen, okay? This just happened, okay?She's not dangerous yet.” He tries to explain.

“You shouldn't have brought her here!” Vince shouts.

“I know.”

“We let Cranks in here now, the safe haven doesn't last a week! Step back!” Vince moved his gun to point at Thomas.

“I understand, okay? I understand. Just listen. Please. Please, okay? I told her that you could help.”

“Okay? No.”

“There's got to be something you can do.” He implores them.

“Yeah, there is. I can put her out of her misery.” Vince moves forward aiming his pistol at Brenda once again.

“No! No!” You all shout at once. Vince grabs hold of Thomas.

“Vince, that's enough! Let him go. Let him go!” a woman pushed through the crowd over to Brenda and crouched beside her.

“She's infected, Doc. There's nothing we can do for her.” Vince said.

“No, but he can. Hello, Thomas.” The woman said with a soft smile.

“What?” Thomas took a step back, “You know me?”

“Interesting. It makes sense they'd put you in the maze. Though I must admit...I was worried they'd kill you after what you did.” She said.

“What I did?”

“The first time we spoke, you said you couldn't take it anymore, watching your friends die, one by one. The last time we spoke, you gave me the coordinates of every WICKED compound, trial and lab.”

“He was our source.” Vince realised.

“We couldn't have pulled all this off without him. Take her to the tent. Get these guys some warm clothes. Thomas, come on. I need to get some blood from you.” She said, You watched as they went into the med tent.

In the beginning, we were lost. Harriet and Sonya showed you all over to a tent where they issued you all with warmer coats. She leads Mai Mai over to the cook tent where she is given a large slab of meat.

Newt watches you, pressing his lips together.

“Y/n, can I talk to you?” He asks and you follow him back out of the tent and round one of the large rocks, blocking you from view of the others.

“What happened to your arm?” He asks abruptly.

“I don't know what you mean.” You say and instinctively pull your arm closer to yourself.

“Show me, please.” You can see the fear in his eyes and it melts you.

“Look it happened when Winston got hurt. One of the Cranks-”

“What?” He grabbed your arm and pulled back your sleeve, revealing the bite wound. It was clean and healing. Newt blinked a few times.

“What?” He says again.

“I guess I am immune.” You say, hoping it would lighten his mood.

“Y/n, why did you hide this from me?” he asks, running his thumb over the healing wound.

“I was frightened, I didn't want to turn into one of them. I didn't want you to see me like that. I figured if anything happened I could just sort it out myself.” You admit, holding back the tears that wanted to fall. Newt pulled your arm up to his face and kissed the wound.

“You don't have to go through anything alone anymore.” He took a breath, kissed your knuckles, “I love you, so I'll help you with anything that happens.” He took your other hand and pressed a soft kiss to your palm, “it killed me not knowing if you were alive before, Mai Mai had to drag me away from there when the building collapsed.” A tear fell from his eye as he looked at you.

“I'm sorry, Newt. I haven't been a very good girlfriend.” You try to make.a.joke and he chuckles.

“No, you've been terrible.” He laughs and pulls you closer by wrapping your arms around his neck, your faces now inches apart. You feel his breath fan out over you as he closes the space between you. Your body freezes for a second when his lips finally touch yours, until your body takes over and you melt into him. Newt holds you against the rock as he kisses you until you both have to draw back and breathe.

"I love you too, newt" your smile.

Masterlist

Jorge and Brenda led you to two zip wires and started sending you all down. He had a large crate that he normally would use for supplies that he told you to put Mai Mai in. You watch as Newt takes his turn. Brenda says something to Thomas and she runs off.

“Y/n go! I'll be right behind you.” He says before following Brenda. Unsure what you should do, you turn to Mai Mai and close the crate.

“Look after Newt and the boys.” You said before pushing the crate off the ledge. You turn on your heel and dart after Thomas and Brenda. She is scrambling through her room, pulling draws out and rummaging through the papers on the desk. A small silver box caught her and she grabbed it, holding it above her head.

“Got it!” She cried. A soldier appeared in the doorway.

“Run!” Thomas shouted pulling you along with him.

“This way!” Brenda climbs over a short walk onto a thin beam.

“What the hell?” You say.

“We don't have much time!” She shouts at you both. Thomas helped you over and you started stepping carefully onwards, he followed you.

A guard started shooting at you and you stumbled almost falling but Brenda was able to grab your hand at the last moment and pull you over to her.

“Stop there!” A soldier shouts.

“Brenda, where are we going?” Thomas calls to her.

“Come on the song is almost over.”

Thomas took a few more steps toward you when you heard the music stop and several small explosions began going off. Thomas trips with the force of the fire behind him and falls into you. Brenda helps you to pull him over the side and you start running again. God did you want to be somewhere running wasn't needed.

Brenda leads you to an elevator shaft and without thinking you all leap in and grab the thick metal ropes, sliding down. It burns your hands slightly. The building has one final explosion and it tumbles to the ground sending rubble down the shaft. You manage to fall out just in time. There was no time to think about what happened to the soldiers.

Brenda grabs a light from her coat and shines it around.

“No, no how are we going to get back to the others?” Thomas feels panic starting to grow inside him.

“Relax, I'm going to get us out of here.” Brenda explains.

“Why are you helping us?” You stand up from the dust ground.

“Trust me, it's not my idea. Jorge seems to think you guys are our ticket to the safe haven.” She says moving over to grelate on the floor.

“The what?” Your male companion asks.

“You know, paradise. Safe from the sun, free of infection. Supposedly, the Right Arm's been taking kids there for years. Immunes, anyway.” She continues.

“And you know where that is?” You step a little closer to Thomas.

“No. But Jorge knows a guy. Marcus. He used to smuggle kids up into the mountains. If Jorge made it out, that's where he'll be taking your friends.”

“If he made it out?” Thomas's mouth ran dry.

“You two ask a lot of questions. Can you just come over here and help me with this? Please.” She gestures to the grait and you both rush over to help her pulling it up and dropping back against the floor. You all look down into the dark abyss. There is a screeching in the distance.

“Well, that doesn't sound good.” Thomas remarked

“Yeah. Down here they'll be full term.”

“Excellent, sounds like a party.” You say and jump down into the tunnel. Brenda follows, then Thomas. It's dark and there is gravity all over the walls. Brenda leads you through them, explaining about the people who lived down there and how Jorge is as close to a father as he could be until you come upon a split in the paths

“Damn” she sighed

Thomas started walking down the right tunnel and you follow him seeing what looks like an opening not too far away

“Brenda? Brenda?” She was no longer behind you but standing around the corner her light trained on the wall.

“Loom at this.” She says. You both follow her eyeline at the red vines that were growing over the walls. They were damp, or sticky, you didn't want to touch them and find out. You can see bodies wrapped up in the overgrowing plant. A rat jumps from a smaller tunnel and runs over to Brenda's foot. She kicks it away and it squeaks a few times before running further into the tunnel. Just as you think it's safe to go, a hand flies out of the vines and grabs the rat. It bites the rats head off noisily, waking more and more.of the creatures.

“Time to go!” Thomas shouts and you all start running, the creatures following close behind. You get to the outside and feel the heat of the sun on you once more, but there is little time to be grateful. You slide to a stop on the edge of an extremely high drop.

“Shit “ you breathe out.

“Come on this way!” Brenda grabs at Thomas as she starts climbing the rocky wall. Thomas waited for you to go first before he followed. It's a hard climb but with the cranks climbing behind you there was no way to stop. Parts of the building loosen and fall asleep you climb. Up and up you go the three of you trying to climb the upside down staircase.

Brenda reaches up, grabbing a metal pole to pull herself up but it breaks and she falls through the door. She lands on a window, the glass below her starts to crack as she tries to stand.

“Brenda! Y/n stay here.” He tells you and he slides down the wall grabbing what may have once been a pillar.

Looking around yourself you remember the rope in your bag. With cranks still hot on your heels you push yourself into the room and crouch to one side. You pull the rope from your bag as a crank comes tumbling in. It fights against Brenda and Thomas drops down, planting his feet on the metal beams around the window. Brenda reaches for him and Thomas breaks the glass. Brenda and the crank fall through but he holds her tight.

Having tied the rope to the metal poles in part of the exposed wall you dropped it down to them.

“Here grab this!” You call down to them. Thomas gives the rope to Brenda and then pulls her up to him. Once she is stable on the metal beams he tied it around her waist and she's able to swing over to a more stable part of the building. She then throws it back to Thomas who copies her. Once on the other side he tied it off and you slide down. Thomas grabs you and pulls you into him. You flinch a little when his hand grazes your hurt arm.

“Thank you.” Brenda breathes out to you both.

“Yeah, no problem.” You nod and step around them.

At last you reach quieter places and Brenda drops to the ground pulling her trousers leg up.

“Brenda.” Thomas breathes out, seeing the deep cuts and teeth marks.

“yeah, yeah I know.” She wraps it up with a cloths and gets up, “let's just go find Marcus.”

The two of them start walking but you're rooted to the spot. Her wound already looked dark, the skin blackening as Winston's had, but yours hadn't. I'm fact the last time.you checked it had begun scabbing over nicely.

“Hey y/n come on.” Thomas called you and you ran to catch up with them.

The city was crowded, at least this part of.it was. People were scattered around the streets in various states of poverty. Brenda leads you through them to a large white building that had red banners hanging on the walls.

“Are you sure this is the place?” Thomas asked Brenda.

“Are you here for the party?” A blonde woman appeared behind you making you jump.

“We're looking for Marcus, this is the place isn't it?” Brenda asked.

“This is my place.” a man in a ragged burgundy suit jacket says, taking a shot from the small bar.

“At eyou Marcus?” Thomas guides you closer to him.

“Marcus doesn't live here anymore.” The man fiddled with the oversized rings on his fingers as he spoke.

“Look, has anyone else been here, looking for him? A groups of kids around our age, they had a girl with them with brown hair and a tiger.”

“A tiger? My goodness the man laughed, and he pulled a crystal cut bottle from his jacket. “you know I think they might be inside. here, drink this.” He holds it out to us.

“What is it?” Thomas asks.

“The price of admition.” He grins at you all. Brenda snatches the bottle and takes a large swing. Nervously Thomas copies her and hands you the bottle with a shrug. You sip it and feel the green liquid burn down your throat.

“Alright, enjoy the party.” The man pushes you all inside.

The music is instantly too loud and the crowd jostles you. Your eyes begin to blur and see things that aren't there. Winston standing in front of you, the black goo dripping from his mouth. Then you see Alby, Chuck, Gally, Jeff, Ben, everyone you had lost along the way, all of them turned into a crank. Spinning round to look away from them and instead see Brenda kissing Thomas. He pushes her back gently.

“You aren't her.” He whispers.

Someone knocks into you, there is laughter and you drop to the floor. You hear a growl and a blurred body rushes to you, calling your name.

“Y/n?”
