It's okay (Newt x Reader)

Chapter 1: Into the Scorch.

For months on end the rebellion army had kept a close eye on WCKED, spying and observing them. Wanting to know more about their plans and next moves. The elite military group, which rebelled against the scientists when the virus first broke out, disagrees with everything WCKED stands for in the name of science. Till now, WCKED still has troubles locating them as they keep good distance and low profile in a secured military base further to the south, forest side. A base of operation, which kept sending out tiny drones, to keep up with what's going on.

" General, the group which escaped the maze a few days ago, have now escaped the WCKED facility. "

A male soldier informed, upon entering the meeting room.

" Will they even survive the Scorch? Now that's a challenge. "

The General placed down the tablet, which held the information of each individual of the group.

" Say, y/n. You said you felt bored, being in the base so much. What about hunting down these kids? Wouldn't that be to your interests? Perhaps get information. "

With a smirk the general looks at you, his daughter. Not even worried about your safety, being fully aware that you can easily take care of yourself, despite situations. That's what he had trained you for, ever since you were a child. In his eyes, you're the closest thing to a super soldier, something he kept pride over.

" Of course, father. Sounds fun. I won't hesitate, I'll be leaving tonight. I'd hate losing track of them. Also, I want information about their whereabouts all the time. "

With that you exit, confidently leaving the room to get ready. Happy that the opportunity to leave the base had finally come.

" General, do you think it's a good idea to send out y/n by herself? "

The male soldier questioned, watching the doors close as you left.

" She can manage by herself. I have given her all the training she needs to survive out there. "

The general proudly answers. However, still not convincing the people in the meeting room.

" Hopefully, we get to track down Lay. If Y/n gets herself into WCKED. She might find a way to save her twin brother. "

The general lets out a sighs, still not over the fact of losing his son to WCKED.

As the night falls over the base and the sky turns midnight black, did you pack yourself up. A light, small bag filled with handy equipment that could help you later. Your outfit is suited for any type of weather, the dark fabric being water resistance and light to wear. Your shoes, good to wear incase of the need to run.

Once you were ready did you throw your bag on. Grabbing a silenced gun, did you place it on your quad bike, which was the best choice of vehicle to enter the scorch with. Putting on your ear piece, did you take a seat on the bike, ready to leave the base.

" y/n, catch. "

A voice spoke out, as a helmet was tossed in your direction. Catching it, did you look up at the person who threw it.

" Come to say your farewells? "

You chuckled and commented, looking up at your father.

" Be safe, try to locate your brother and come back home safely. Please. "

Your father had a poker face, but you knew well he was worried for your safety. Even though he was confident you'd be able to take care of yourself.

" I will, I will do what I can to find Lay and rescue those teenagers. "

You smile, putting on your helmet and starting the quad bike.

You nod to your father, who did the same; before leaving out the main gate.

It was a long journey ahead, you had to make it out of the desert by dawn. It wouldn't be that challenging though, considering you had the quad bike. But time was running. With so did you drive, until you reached the open land of sand, the scorch. Looking at the time, it was only 02:56 and you left 23:30, you were lucky.

After driving for a while, could you hear and see one of the WCKED copters. It was perfect timing. Watching it fly towards the mountains, which laid halfway from your location, did you tag along. Following but keeping distance.

Arriving just in time, did you see the WCKED security squad entering the building. Being unsure what to do, did you curse beneath your breath. Fearing they would be captured again. That's when you noticed a group of teenagers ziplining away from the main building. A smile apperead on your lips, thinking they weren't as stupid as you thought. A few moments later did you see the building explode, even though you had kept distance, were you still able to feel the heat from the flames. But this was also a perfect distraction to meet up with the group.

Leaving your bike, did you sneak your way to the second building. Where you knew they were hiding. Entering was quiet and dark. The building was huge, the structure had all fallen apart. Walking deeper in did you turn on your flashlight, just to be met with a gun pointed right at you.

" Who are you? Why are you here? "

The man held a strict voice still having the gun aimed at your head. Despite you having your arms up.

" I am y/n, I saw the copter and followed it. However, I was too late. I am from the military base, in the south forest side. "

You look down, once you notice the others coming out. You weren't scared, just unsure on how to get them to believe you.

" Base 08? I didn't even know there were still people there. I thought WCKED had wiped them all out during the pandemic. For rebelling and not doing their job as the military defender. "

The man lowered his gun, once he noticed the badge on your chest. Confirming you were telling the truth. Still a little taken off guard by your comment.

" Well, that's what we want you to believe. WCKED have tried tracking us down for a long time. However, my father and his squad came from base 04. After WCKED wiped out base 08, we took over silently, without their knowing. "

You continue to let out.

" I am Jorge. Why have you come? "

The man simply let's out.

" I came to help. We saw with our drones that the group- "

You paused, looking at the teenagers before back at Jorge.

" Had escaped the WCKED facility, so they sent me to help. Maybe I will also be able to find my brother doing so. Better than just stay at the base. "

You smiled.

" Welcome to the team. Now let's get going. "

Jorge, nodded allowing you to join. He might not have truly trusted you, but having the base on his side, would benefit him.

" Hey, y/n. "

A hand was gently placed on your shoulder.

" I am Newt. This is Minho, Aris, and Teresa "

While following Jorge, did you get to know the group better and hear their stories about the maze. But you did notice how Teresa was just being silent and mostly staring at you, but trying to avoid eye contact. Suspecting her a little, did you just keep it for yourself.

Arriving at the building, Jorge informed that Marcus ran. Did you all enter, waiting for Thomas and Brenda, which Newt had informed you about.

The sun was already up, it had been a while. Jorge was having his time beating Marcus, which he had tied to a chair. Minho, Frypan and Teresa had gone to search for the rest. Leaving you, Aries and Newt with Jorge and Marcus.

Silently watching, did you sit on the couch next to Newt. Flinching a little, each time Jorge punched Marcus. Newt saw how uncomfortable you became and placed a hand on your arm, trying to calm you a little. He didn't say anything, he just tried giving you a small smile.

Suddenly the doors went open, Minho entering carrying Thomas and placing him on the couch. That would also be the first time you had met Brenda.
