~What About Them!~

POV (Y/n)

-1 Year and 15 Days in the Scorch-

When Gally and Thomas return with Teresa I feel pure hatred for her as she sits in the center of the room with a bag over her head. Newt gets the honor of removing her bag and Teresa is beyond surprised at the sight in front of her. I assume she never expected to see any of us again, "Gally?" she questions landing on my soulmate who is an obvious surprise considering he's supposed to be dead. "Here's how this is going to go. We're going to ask you some questions and you're going to tell us exactly what we need to know. We'll start off simple," Gally says moving from his spot leaning against the table to grab a chair in front of him.

"Where's Minho?" He asks first putting the chair in between Teresa and Thomas as he plops down into it. "You guys don't seriously think-" Teresa starts eyes on Thomas, but Gally interrupts her "don't look at him. Why you looking at him? Look at me, he's not going to help you," Gally tells her, and I smirk at him. "Now we know you have Minho in the building, where!" Gally presses leaving no room for deflection.

"He's with the others on holding," She says and the map appears in my head "that's on sub-level three?" I ask and she nods. "How many others?" Newt asks and Teresa only hesitates for a moment "twenty-eight," she says looking up from the floor. We all look back to Brenda who is playing cards with Jorge in the back "I can make that work," she tells us. Teresa immediately interjects "No, you guys don't understand the whole level's restricted. You can't get in without a thumbprint ID," she explains, "that's why you're going to come with us," Thomas tells her finally speaking since returning. 

I shrug twisting my knife "I don't know, we don't necessarily need her. Just her thumb," I say standing and moving towards her at lightning speed, but Thomas stops me knowing I'll do it without hesitation. "That's not the plan (n/n)," and I scowl at him "It wasn't the plan for her to betray us either. Besides, I'm sure she's done way worse to Minho," I tell him and he scowls holding my hand that grips the knife. He begins to pry the knife out of my hand "I said no," he tells me and I narrow my eyes and cross my arms.

"It won't make a difference, do whatever you want to me! You still won't get through the front door, the sensors will-" Teresa starts but is cut off by Thomas "we know we're tagged, you're going to help us with that too," he tells her raising the knife I was holding a minute ago to her. My brother always so trusting I think as he allows Teresa to grab the knife and list supplies she'll need to remove our implants. I can't stand Teresa and every word she says makes me angry "I know you hate her for working for WICKED, but you look like you're going to kill her. What'd she do to you?" Gally asks as Teresa removes the chip from Newt's neck.

"She's half the reason I only have one good eye, and she broke my brother's heart," I tell him and I can see Gally looking at my scar and he reaches his hand up to cup my cheek. I have to close my eyes as he feels the gnarled skin above and below my eye. "You're still beautiful," he tells me in a rough whisper and I can't help but let out a light scoff. When I open my eyes I can see him staring at me with an intensity I've never seen in him. He pulls my face to his and kisses me roughly, "I'm serious you're just as beautiful to me now as you were when we first met, and don't doubt that," he tells me as we separate. 

I nod to him unable to answer him with a response he'd like "okay love birds separate, who's next?" newt asks and I pull away from Gally approaching Teresa, my previous anger returning. "Let's get this over with," I say sitting down in the chair in front of Teresa. "You're looking good (Y/n)," she says obviously attempting conversation but I can't help but scoff at her. "Yeah no thanks to you," I snarl and she recoils at my words "don't pretend you're hands are cleaner than mine. At least I'm trying to save lives," She says as I feel her pull out my chip. 

I turn quickly and hiss at the pain it causes me "and what's that supposed to mean?" I accuse "I saw that look in your eye when you killed those people! When you took Marcus's finger! You enjoyed it!" she shouted at me causing the others to look towards us. I shut my eyes tightly for a minute before drawing one us my knives. I quickly grab her and I hear the others shouting for me to stop. Even Gally seems shocked at my actions "You wanna know something you're right. I enjoyed it, I enjoyed knowing I was stopping them from killing or torturing someone else I love! They sent children, scared children with no memory into a maze, and some of them died with no hope left!" I tell her.

As I speak I feel thick tears run down my cheeks the memories of so many flash in my mind "what about Tony, Clint, Avery, Jeff, Winston, George, Zart, Kilorn, Chuck, or Jacob? Huh? They died scared, sad, and alone! They didn't have any choice to even help find a damn cure! But to you and all those other worthless bastards I guess it was worth it..." I tell her. I push her away and start to walk away "If you weren't Tommy's soulmate, I'd kill you too," I tell her leaving the group alone and shocked by my rage.
