Flames burning around them, the chaos still loud as ever. All she heard was silence. Removing herself off Newt's body she sat on her knees beside him crying her eyes out into her hands. She didn't turn round hearing footsteps. Hearing three more, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

The person crouching down beside her pulling her into a hug, she gave into. "I couldn't do it." she sobbed into Minho's chest. "I couldn't kill him."

Sharing a confused look with Fry, Fry walked over to Newt's body sitting on his knees he leaned over and heard the faint breathing out of Newt's nose. He nodded at Minho, who pulled Athena in a tighter hug, a few happy tears falling.

"How'd you do it?" Brenda asked, seeing an unconscious Crank on the ground.

"He kept turning back to himself. It was short periods, but as I guessed right, he isn't fully Crank so if Thomas and Teresa do this, we get the cure, Newt's, Newt again." Athena said through sobs. "He may not always be himself, but it's better then nothing."

"Thank you." Minho said looking at Athena and kissing her hair.

"I couldn't let him leave."

"I know."

"How long will he be out for?" Gally asked.

"Not long I don't think."

Before a conversation could continue, the group heard the berge coming towards them and landing in a free space next to the platform.

"Gally, give me a hand here." Fry said grabbing Newt.

"Come on." Minho said, grabbed her hand. As he pulled her up he saw her wince and grab her wrist. "What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing." She replied.

Not listening to her, he grabbed her hand and pulled up her sleeve, revealing a human bit in her arm. But it wasn't black and purple infected. It was red. Normal blood red. Already starting to heal.

"Well, we know your immune." Minho said, with a slight scoff.

"I knew that. Already got a Crank scar on my hip." she said as the two began to walk to the berge.

"What happened?" Vince asked as him, Jorge and Finn walked out of the berge.

"Newts, infected. Thomas has gone to get the cure." Gally answered as they carried him onto the aircraft.

"Put him in that room." Finn said pointing to a room.

As Gally and Fry laid him down on the ground in the empty room, Athena walked in, the berge starting to take off. Athena couched down beside Newt, she quickly pulled out anything on him or in the room he could use to hurt himself, and slipped on the chain round his neck again and tucked it under his t-shirt.

Hearing a groan come from Newt she quickly walked out the room locking it behind her. Athena and Minho sitting against the door just in case.

"Can I ask you something?" Minho said, she nodded. "I know for a fact, he would have asked you to kill him, or tried to do it him self. And I also know, you would listen to him if you agreed. But since i've seen you two in these last hours, it's like something changed. So what's different?" he asked looking at her.

"I couldn't do it." she replied. "I couldn't kill him. He has so much to look forward too, but he just doesn't know that right now." she said, hearing a growl the other side of the door the two prepared themselves as loud bang hit the otherside of the door.

"What do you mean?" He asked, trying to ignore what was in the room.

"I'm pregnant, Minho." she said.
