Your POV
I was woken by Newt shaking me.
"Come love we need to move" he said pulling my arm.

I just went with him. We jumped out the helicopter and we were herded into a huge building thing.
The doors slammed shut behind us.
We all stood shocked

~~~~
We we're led to a room with food, we all stuffed our faces.
"No offence Fry but this is better than your cooking" Minho said sarcastically

We sat waiting, then the door opened and a man came in

"You kids doing alright?" He asked
We all walked over to him
"Sorry about all the fuss, we had ourselves a bit of a swarm." He said
"Who are you?" Thomas asked him
"I'm the reason you're all still alive. It's my intention to keep you that way. Now come with me" he said happily
"We'll get you kids squared away" he said as he left and we followed

"You can call me Mr. Janson. I run this place. For us it is a sanctuary safe from the horrors of the outside world" he started to talk

I nervously looked to Newt. The two of us shared a look.
The letters from all that time ago said to not trust a Janson. Is this the same Janson?

"You all should think if it as a way station. Kind of a home between homes. Watch yourself" he said pointing to sparks. They just bounced away from me
"That mean you're taking us home?" Thomas asked Janson.
"A home of sorts. Sadly there wouldn't be much left of wherever you came from. But we do have a place for you. A refuge, outside the Scorch. Where WICKED will never find you again. How does that sound?" He asked us all

We kept walking, passed people working, and large crates.

I looked at Minho as he stepped closer to me and Newt.
"Why are you helping us?" Minho asked
"Let's just say the world out there is in a rather precarious situation. We're all hanging on by a very think thread. The fact that you kids can survive the Flare virus makes you the best chance of humanity's continued survival. Unfortunately it also makes you a target, as no doubt by now you've noticed" he said stopping at a large door.
"Beyond this door lies the beginning of your new lives." He said opening the door

I stared down the long white tunnel.

"First things first.... let's do something about that smell." He said and a lady came

I sighed and followed the group to the showers.
"This way" the lady said to me and Teresa
"What no they stay with us!" Thomas said grabbing Teresa's hand.
"They can't it's separate rooms, they'll join you soon" the lady said smiling at us
"It'll be fine Thomas" Teresa said taking her hand back

I just sighed and let go of Newts hand.
I pecked his cheek, "I'll be alright. Keep an eye of Lils" I whispered
He nodded and I followed after Teresa and the lady in the lab coat.

I turned around and saw the boys staring at us, and I was led into a room, so I quickly waved them goodbye.

"Okay theres the showers. An outfit will be set out for you" she said to us. I nodded and she left us to shower.
"This place is weird" I muttered undressing and jumping into the cubicle.

I turned on the water expecting cold water, but it was hot.

"It's hot!" Teresa said in the cubicle beside me
"It's so nice and warm" I choked happily

I washed all the dirt off my body, all the grime that had built up from the past few days.

I then just stood under the water, thinking.

I'd lost Chuck,Zart, Clint and Jeff, some other boys I didn't know
And worst of all, I lost my twin.

I didn't let myself cry. I'm not going to cry.
