New life (tmr x marvel)

I reached up and pressed the intercom, but the effort took too much energy and I simply slumped down onto the front steps, letting the rain pour onto my face. My eyes fluttered when I heard lots of yelling, but that was it before I blacked out.

When I fainted, I relived my own memories, my past. The dreams kept coming back over and over again.

A tall blond boy walked over to me, his face was one I would never forget. "You alright, love?"

"What if we don't make it out of here, Newt?" He kissed my forehead.

"We will, I promise."

The scene changed.

"Go, Maya, before you get hurt–before I hurt you," Newt's skin was pallid, and black veins wrapped around his skin. Tears were in my eyes.

"No! I'm not leaving you Newt!"

"Please, Maya. Please. I love you through the maze," He offered me his pinke and I wrapped mine around his. I was sobbing now. I remembered this all too clearly.

"To the Glade, and as I sip on Frypan's stew," I finish. He caresses my face one more time before Minho and Thomas pull me away. I start screaming and struggling, but the combined strength of my best friends are too much for me to resist. I'm struggling too much for the two boys to be able to carry me away fast enough, and I get a front row seat to see the love of my life plunge a knife through his heart. He crumples to the floor and my screams get louder, incoherent words spilling out of my mouth.

My eyes snapped open and I immediately sat up, gasping for air. I was in a bed placed in the middle of a room. The walls were plain white and the floor was marble. Desks filled with medical equipment, computers and a single door lined three of the walls, but on the fourth, there was a large mirror that covered at least half of the wall. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair hung lifelessly down my back and I was dressed in a hospital gown. Tubes and needles connected me to a bunch of machines next to the bed I was in. I felt like some kind of biology experiment. It reminded me of when I was at WICKED. WICKED..

My memories came flooding back to me, when the WICKED guards chased me away from Minho and Thomas. When I finally stopped running, battered and bruised, in front of a building with a giant S on it. I remembered how WICKED kept me in a room separate from the rest of my friends where they tested me and watched me through hidden cameras and... a two-way mirror.

Cautiously, I slid out of the bed and crept towards the mirror, pressing my index finger against the mirror, checking to see if my finger touched it's reflection. It did. Someone was watching me. My eyebrows furrowed in anger and I slammed a fist against the mirror and it quivered in its frame. An alarm blared, but I ignored it, only scanning the room for something to destroy the mirror with. On one of the desks, a gun caught my eye. I smirked and grabbed it, aiming it at the mirror, imagining that Minho would be congratulating me for being reckless for once, while Newt would be scolding me and asking if I was okay.

The thought made me falter and the door took the opportunity to swing open and crash into the wall behind it. Five people filed into the room and I blindly shot towards them until the gun ran out of bullets. I cursed and turned to glare at the group of people who left me in the room. A guy with a mustache, glasses and a glowing thing in the center of his chest stepped forward. "Calm down, calm down–" I mentally rolled my eyes; he reminded me of Gally. "–please don't destroy the room I worked so hard to build." This time I visibly rolled my eyes; he was arrogant like Gally too.

"Where am I?" I asked. "What did you do to me?" Another guy in a lab coat walked forward to join the mustache-dude.

"We found you unconscious outside the tower a few days ago, now if you could just relax–" He tried to guide me back to the bed, but I grabbed a metal rod from the desk next to me and pointed it at his chest.

"I hate scientists." I spat. I slowly lowered the pole and turned to the others, focusing on a blond muscled guy that reminded me of Thomas, Minho and Newt all in one person.

"You can stay with us while we find out what to do with you," He said, and then gave me a small smile. "Welcome to a new life,"
