Second Time Around // Newt x Reader

6

               You woke up to darkness. You tried to open your eyes, but they wouldn't move. You tried to move any part of your body, nothing. At that point, you were panicking. Your breathing was fast and deep, your body still didn't move. Its like you were trapped inside your brain but could not use it.

Is this what life is going to be like from now on? You thought. After saving Chuck, this is what I get? The Creators must really like me.

Then, out of nowhere everything came back to you. Your hearing, sight, smell, touch, etc. It all happened so fast that you almost screamed.

You were in a wooden room. You were laying on a semi-comfortable bed. There was a table to your right with medical equipment and a chair next to you. The Med-Jack hut. The chair was occupied. You looked over and there was the one and only Minho. His head lolled against his chest, his breathing was slow. He was asleep. You heard a door open and closed your eyes. Soon you heard voices and Minho jolt up in his chair like he just had a nightmare.

"Minho! She awake?" You heard Alby call.

"No, not yet." Minho called back. You detected a little bit of sadness in his voice.

You forced yourself to move at least a finger. You shook your head and moved your arm up to lean on it, then you opened your eyes.

"Nope! I take that back!" Minho said again moving to your side.

"What do ya mean?" Alby said walking in the room. "Oh, that's what ya mean."

"What happened?" You saw Thomas ask.

"What was that all about?" You heard a familiar British accent ask.

You opened your mouth to speak but no words came out. You tried to groan but nothing happened.

"What?" Minho asked.

You motioned to your throat.

"You throat hurts?"

You shook your head.

"Your choking on something?"

You shook your head, again. This time adding a eye roll.

"She can't bloody talk, shank." Newt said.

Something hit you. Like a memory. You tried something different. You remember hearing Thomas could speak telepathically with a girl. But you had no idea where the memory came from or anything or where you heard it.

Thomas, can you hear me? You tried. It didn't work.

Thomas, can you hear me? You tried again. This time it seemed to work.

Thomas's head snapped up. He looked you dead in the eyes, surprise, worry, confusion, maybe even disbelief washed over his face. He almost fell backwards, but Newt grabbed his arm before he could. You didn't see how it worked, how you got it, you didn't even know you had it. But the one thing was it gave you a slight headache.

What the hell. . . How did you. . .  Do you even. . .  Thomas tried to say.

I have no idea. I just remember being told you could speak telepathically with some girl. Maybe another guy, too. But I have no idea how I got it.

Teresa. What happened to her? Is she alright? 

I don't know. But can you feel her presence?

Kind of.

Then there's your answer.

"I would appreciate it if you two bloody told us what's going on." Newt said.
