Stiles POV

Now in movies where the person heroically pushes their friend or family member out of the way to takes the knife or bullet for them and then stands up carrying on like nothing had happened.

I would like to say that in reality it does not happen, the doors open and right away in front of me I notice Janson about to fire his gun at Thomas, I decide it was my time to save him as I owe him one or a lot.

"No!!" I bellow diving pushing Thomas aside as the gun fires and the bullet rips through my shoulder/chest.

I hear gasps, screams, (I really hope that's not Lydia screaming to say I died), people running and the sound of metal banging none of which made sense to me. As I lie on the floor blood pooling out of me slightly regretting my decision, I feel Thomas grab me and place pressure on the wound while shouting at me.

"Stiles!! Why did you do that for? You stupid shank, why did you save me?" Thomas shouts at me while applying pressure to the wound.

"It was my turn for once to save you, as I figured I owed you a few." I joke while coughing, trying to hide the pain in my voice.

I notice Scott kneeling down next to me grabbing my hand to take away the pain but quickly let go as there was no pain to take. He threw a concerned look towards me before he helped Thomas to tightly wrap my wound, stopping me from bleeding to death which I am grateful for.

I notice Thomas standing up and looking around, probably checking to see where the guards had gone too, before he spoke while grabbing his bag.

"Okay we need to get going, the charges are primed in the Maze and hopefully they haven't found any that we had been planting over the past few months. You all get Stiles to Deaton and I will meet you there as I need to prime the final charge and set the timer." Thomas states grabbing the bag he had stashed away.

"No Thomas! I am coming with you. We stick to the plan no matter what, you and I both know this plan only works if we finish this the same way it all started, together!!" I advises fiercely slowly getting to my feet with Scott supporting me and head over to grab Thomas's arm steadying myself.

Everyone here knows that once I have made my mind up there was no changing it no matter what the consequences may be, so they all agreed to head to the meeting point while Thomas and I head to do the final charge and timer.

We walk in silence, taking it easy as I am still unsteady on my feet and need Thomas's help to stay upright.

"Just tell me why Stiles, you have so much more to live for. Why risk everything for someone like me?" Thomas asks speaking for the first time since we left the group his eyes focused ahead of us.

"Thomas, you are my family just as much as my Dad is or Scott is. In my eyes you are the twin brother I always wanted and never knew that I needed." I answer truthfully as I didn't know how much time we had left together.

As we reach the final charge and timer location, I was feeling dizzy so Thomas gently helps me on the ground. He hands me his gun so I can watch his back as he sorts out the charge and timer against the remote he had stored in his bag.

Once he was done he gently helps me to my feet as we head to the meeting point but before we could get there several guards arrived blocking our path.

I know there was too many for us to take down so I motion for Thomas to set the gun down, just as the guards surge forward and grab us both.

Once we reach our destination I notice Janson and Ava stood staring at us both like they had just won the lottery. The guards didn't release there grip on us but my legs were shaking so much I end up falling to my knees anyway making Thomas glance at me his eyes full of worry.

"Well look who we have here Thomas and Stiles back together again just in time for you both to die. Well it looks like one of you is already half way there, aren't we Stiles?." Ava starts laughing as I try to stay focus on staying awake for Thomas but I am struggling.

"I must congratulate you though Stiles, for years we have tried to find ways to separate you both, but the only way we found to do it would leave you both with either dead or with brain damage. Maybe there is still some use for you after all Stiles, now that we have Thomas here so we can have both the cure and the brains. Of course that's if you don't die first." Ava states coming down to be face and face with me.

"How do you not know that this wasn't part of our plan to begin with? You see we have been planning this for many years, as you said we have the brains so we can think of many versions of how this may have gone." Me and Thomas say at the exact same time as he takes out the guards holding him before grabbing the detonator hidden in his pocket and activates it.

I feel Thomas dive on top of me as the explosions rattle around us breaking the room we were in into tiny pieces. We quickly get up knowing the second round of explosions would start soon and block our exit out of here.

Thomas grabs my arm drapping it around his neck while he wrap his other arm around my side, before starting to half drag half carry me to the lift, located directly below where everyone should be waiting for us.

"Do me a favour will you? Tell everyone that I love them and that I am sorry but I need to do this and that I will always be there with them." I ask him knowing what I need to do when this lift arrives.

I notice Thomas shifting nervously next to me when I asked but doesn't answer me until the lift arrives and the doors open.

"Tell them yourself when you seem them. It's my turn now." He states shoving me inside to the floor of the lift. I roll over just in time to see the door close with Thomas on the other side.

"No! Thomas, what are you doing? What are you doing this is my job, my responsibility?!!" I scream at him, as I move towards the door using my remaining strength to rise to a sitting position.

"Your responsibility is taking care of your friends and family, to be there for them. You may think this entire time I was the one protecting you, but in truth you were the one protecting me. All of this happened due to my mistakes, so only I can be the one to end it." Thomas stated.

"You can't do this to me, it's not fair. Please don't do this to me. I cannot and will not live with out you, your my brother and I need you!!" I shout to him tears now pouring down my face.

"You have never needed me Stiles, you were smart enough and strong enough before I even arrived you just never knew it, take care of everyone for me. I love you brother, goodbye." He says as he presses a button and the lift starts moving upwards.

"Thomas, please stop. I love you!!" I shout lying down in the lift trying to see him one more time before I lose sight of him forever.

"Thomas!!" I scream as the lift carries on moving up carrying me towards everyone else as I hear the faint explosions continuing below me hoping one would come and stop this painful journey.

I feel the lift shudder to a stop and hear the doors open but I have no strength left to move from my position as sobs and heartache raked my body of any strength I had left.

"Thomas" I continue to scream not caring that my voice was cracking or that the lift had stopped.

"Stiles!!" I hear my name called and feel warm comforting arms gently pick me up and drag me away from the lift but I carry on screaming for Thomas.

As I was lay on a soft bed, my eyes clear enough to work out the worried faces of everyone hovering above me.

"I have to go back, let me go back. We have to save him please." I say trying to gather enough strength to sit up from the bed as gentle hands hold me down.

Before anyone around me could speak, a larger explosion rattled the ground and I knew it was too late for Thomas.

A few minutes later I feel the final explosion happen, shaking the jet with Lydia's scream echoing the jet as I knew who that was for.

"Thank you Thomas." I say with a final breathe before accepting the darkness that had clouded my vision.
