Eleven|The Infinite

Newt's POV~

The door creaked open, making Newt cringe. He took a few quiet steps just to peak out of the door but it was just a long hallway. It took him a while to get enough courage to get out and explore but he did. The hallway only went to the right so he just followed it down. The lights were flickering and the building seemed to be old. Where am I? was only the few things he could think of. Next to the thought of worrying about Cosette and his friends.

It took a lot of walking until he'd stumbled across another door. This one had two big ones in fact, with metal knobs. He carefully ran towards it and twisted the knob while pushing it in. The door opened gracefully without making a sound. In front of him laid a desk and a chair with a woman in it. She was reading a book and it was covering her eyes.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Newt questioned. The lady seemed to have ignored him because she kept reading. Almost as if Newt wasn't even there. "I said, who are you and where am I!?" He exclaimed. She finally lowered her book down from her face. Newt knew her face from anywhere. Her dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, much like his own. It was his mother.

"M-mom is that you?" Newt stuttered. Almost choking on his tears. The last time he'd seen her was- well probably just before going in the box. She got up from her desk and hugged Newt.

"Honey, it is. We need to talk. I just need-"

"I know we need to but he haven't seen each other in forever. Why did you send me with W.I.C.K.E.D's plan? You knew I wasn't immune." He wanted to know the truth. "And if I'm not immune now but my friend shot the flare out of my brain, what am I?"

There was a silence. His mom wouldn't let go and answer him. So he let go. "Mom, what am I?" He clarified himself. This time she looked up to him and answered.

"You are a infinite. They're 1 in a million. Very rare to have."

"Infinite? What the bloody hell is that?"

"We, my group The Infinities and I, have been studying them. I have the founder of this group and you know how, Newt? Because as soon as I had you the doctors and nurses told me that you were special, that you were not like a normal human. So, I tried researching everything and I got nothing until I stumbled across the scientist named W.I.C.K.E.D," she looked up at Newt and continued frowning, "they told me if I gave them you, I would know what you are. But they lied. They abused you and treated you wrong. I should of stole you back... I... I'm sorry, Newt."

Her eyes fell into sadness and began to cry. Newt stepped towards her with open arms, comforting her.

"Mom, it's okay. You did the right thing. I'm alright, well I think so. As soon as I know what a shucking Infinite is, I will know if I'm okay."

"An infinite is pretty self explanitory. Newt, you have special features that most humans don't have like extremely sharp hearing, smell, and feeling. You have super strength and can read minds-you just have to practice."

"I still don't get it, why do they call my kind 'Infinites?'" Newt looked into his mothers eyes. They went dim. Her face was unreadable to him.

"Um, Newt. They call you Infinites because you are infinite," she reached out to hold Newt's hand, "you can live life, forever."
