♣Newt's POV♣

I wake up to Ben poking me in the back. "It's time," he says then starts counting down from ten, when he gets to 1 a guard is at the door. He opens it and enters to escort us out.

I punch him and then make a break for it out of the room. I run down a corridor, no idea where I'm going, room after room after room, filled with people with tear stained faces and broken smiles.

What is this place.

I get to a big door.

An exit.

I open it and am faced with the woman again.

"Newton," just in time she says turning to me with a smirk on her face. "We've been waiting for you,"

The male who I only had just see comes into view and I turn to make a break for it but the door is closed. I bang against it, pulling, pushing trying everything to get it to open but no luck.

"Newt.." I hear someone groan from the corner. Brenda is beside him, seeing to some apparent wounds on his chest and head.

"Tommy," I cry out and go striding towards him but I am stopped by the woman.

"No," she growls at me.

"But -- I," I begin to say but she cuts me off.

"You can't see or speak to him until your needs are complete," she says gritting her teeth together.

"Okay.." I say. "What, what do I need to do?" I add shaking.

"This chamber, is designed to take your powers, from you. Then revert them to something bad. A weapon." The male says smirking in the corner.

"Why would I allow you to that to me?" I say darting my eyes towards the chamber.

"Because," the male growls out. "We have you're pathetic little boyfriend and his play toy over here," He adds. Then for good measure the female knocks Thomas against the wall. I flinch.

"Please... Don't," I say shaking a tear falling down my cheek. "I'll do whatever you want. Don't, don't hurt him," I beg.

"Into the chamber," the female says, who I still can't identify. The male though, I'm pretty sure is ratman.

I go into the chamber and feel the door locked behind me.

I can't feel anything happening. Both ratman and the female seem concerned as they're whispering then both leave the room.

Then I feel it.

I feel like all my limbs are being ripped from my flesh, and they are, I can see them, they are.

Thomas' eyes meet mine through the glass and I can't help but let a tear fall. Thomas tries to stand and Brenda attempts to stop him.

"Watch the door," I can here him say to her.

"Thomas this isn't a good idea. If you go in their you could die!" Brenda says

"I don't care anymore! Don't you get it? Newt's healing powers only work when I'm there. If I'm not in there when they're removing his powers he'll be ripped apart!" I hear Thomas shout.

"I love you!" Brenda responds and I feel my heart stop.

"I love you too," he says "Just not like that," he adds.

She lets a tear fall but gives a small nod.

Thomas breaks the lock to the chamber which sets an alarm off. With Brenda blocking the door Ratman and the woman currently can not get in. But we don't have much time.

Thomas comes into the chamber and shuts the door behind him. When he starts to come towards me I start to back away.

"Don't Tommy," I cry out to him.

"Please.. Please let me help you. I can't loose you," He says crying.

He moves closer to me and I don't back away. He grabs my hand and I fight the instinct to pull away.

I can feel myself healing but as I heal Thomas is starting to get cuts all over his body.

"Go!" I shout to him trying to push him towards the door. "Go!" I see him walk out of the chamber as I black out.

"Newt," I hear someone I can't identify say.

I open my eyes to be faced with Chancellor Paige.

"You're awake," she says to me smiling sadly.

"I'm awake," I cough sitting upwards.

"Where's Tommy?" I add.

"Erm.. He's in the recovery unit, when we can to save you all he was already in quite a state dear," She says looking at me with open eyes, she might be looking into my soul.

"Can I see him?" I ask.

She nods and leads me to where he is being kept.

He looks terrible.

I grab his hand and a tear falls down my face.

His cuts and bruises start to heal and I shockingly pull away.

"Did d-i-d I do that?" I ask my voice shaking.

"It appears so," she says then leaves the room.

I still have my powers.

I just healed Thomas.

Thomas is okay.

Thomas loves me.

I love Tommy.

He opens his eyes and smiles up at me, "hey stranger,".

"hi," I say kissing his cheek gently.

and that was just the beginning to our wacky but wonderful life together.

THE END
