Second Time Around // Newt x Reader

~Next Morning~

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAAAA!" A shriek of terror rang out across the glade, but no one moved from their spot at the tables, you not moving from standing in front of Thomas's soaked figure as he ranted to you. So remember how Newt said he'd get you guys back? That's exactly what he did. He already got Thomas by throwing a bucket of water over his head while sleeping. And it was Minho's turn. You had no idea what Newt did to the poor guy, but he had a shit eating grin plastered on his face. You just shook your head with the hint of a smile.

"(Y/NNNNNN)!" Minho dragged out your name as he ran towards you. He grabbed your shoulders and spun you around so your back was facing him. He slowly started to make his way towards Newt. You smiled apologetically at Thomas and motioned for him to follow you.

"What did he do?" You asked, purposely making your voice sound like a mothers.

"He put a shuck spider in my hammock," He pointed to his hammock, his eyes not leaving Newt as he peered over your shoulder. Only his hair, forehead, and eyes were visible. "It was on my face when I woke up,"

"Oh you poor soul. Should I bring you your blankie and call your mommy?"

"Shut up,"

Minho pushed on your shoulders harder, causing you to move faster. Once you were standing right behind Newt, Thomas finally spoke up. "What are you doing?" His question was directed at Minho, who was still hiding behind your back like a child.

"That thing is a devil. Don't let him fool you. He may look like an angel, but if he were in hell, he would be sitting on a throne and the devil would be packing," Minho glared at Newt who had turned around during his explanation that shit eating grin only growing wider.

"I'm gonna bitch slap that smile right off your face," Minho warned.

Newt gave a toothy, closed eye grin and you leant back on Minho, restraining him from getting any closer to the blonde.

"(Y/N), I'll bitch slap you if you if you don't let me go,"

You looked over your shoulder at Minho, a murderous look in your eyes. "Do that, and the last you'll see of your fingers will be them cut up and being fed to the Grievers," You physically saw Minho shrink after your comment. "Okay," You stated, "I'm satisfied," You looked over at the guys again. They all gave you a skeptical look.

"I can see how you and Teresa got along so well," Thomas said.

You smiled up at him. "Well we had to keep you guys in check somehow,"

"So fear is how you two 'stayed in power'," Newt asked.

"You make it sound like a bad thing," You waved a hand at him.

"Now that's just cruel," Minho jutted in.

"If Teresa was here she'd laugh at you saying that,"

"(Y/NNNNNN)," For the second time today - and it was still early in the morning - your name was dragged out in a whine.

"Yes, River?" You asked, looking into her brown/purple eyes. You still couldn't decide on what color they were.

"My foot hurts!"

"I told you not to put pressure on it,"

So River, being the little sarcastic butt she is, picked up her bad foot so she was balanced on one leg. You glared at the child and she glared right back at you.

"You're a little butthead, you know that?"

"Yeah, well you're a poopy face!"

Frypan, Winston, Gally, and Chuck, all the way from the kitchen, heard what she had said and responded with a loud "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!" River seemed pleased with herself.

"I'm gonna beat ALL OF YOU into a pile of ashes when we get out of here,"

"Even me?" Newt asked, he gave you an innocent look.

"No, no," You replied shaking a finger. "Especially you,"

"So not me, Thomas or River? Just them?" Minho asked finally letting go of you and picking the young girl up.

"River I can handle. You and Thomas better watch your backs,"

"Threatening, are we?" Alby asked, a smile growing on his face, from his spot next to Gally.

"Always have been, always will be," You smirked and bowed, acting like royalty and keeping up the act.

"Well it's good we put up a rule like that, huh?" A different voice asked you this time. It came from behind you and when you spun around, you had never been so stunned.

"Oh my god!" You shriek at the battered and banged up Teresa in front of you. You instantly flung your arms around her neck as the boys crowded around the two of you, trying to figure out how she got here. You pulled back, letting her breathe again. "What happened? How are you even..."

"I'm fine, just a little shaken is all," Teresa answered. "Don't even ask me how I got here. I just woke up in a patch of vines by the doors,"

"Teresa," Thomas breathed her name.

"Hey, Thomas,"

"You were... How are you... Why are you..."

"I know. It's confusing. But why are we back here?" Teresa gestured around all of you.

"Death penalty," You answered.

"Why?"

"What do you mean 'why?' you should know," Gally said.

"No she shouldn't," You jumped in. "She was really helping them and everyone could tell so no one told her,"

"Told me what?" Teresa asked, confusion written all over her face.

"Teresa. You have to promise not to explode on us okay?"

"O-okay,"

"We... were helping the Right Arm,"

There was silence for a few minutes, but they seemed like an eternity. You didn't even dare look her in the eyes. You could feel her eyes travel around and look every person in the eyes.

The silence was broken by Teresa's voice. "What?" Disbelief weaved in her voice as the word came out. "Why? But (Y/N), I thought you lo-"

"I know! I know! Don't say anything. I don't need to be reminded," You cut her off immediately. You earned a few stares from the guys but it was only natural. That information doesn't need to be disclosed yet. That's for later.

"So you lied to me?"
