Solider X

Chapter 12: Smells Like Teen Spirit

Thomas POV 

"I can't believe you Gally you fucking asshole!!" I raged punching Gally in the face once we'd gotten to this supposed safe place. He didn't care much for the punch, it was weak I didn't really want to hurt him but I was angry. First he killed Chuck and yeah he was out of his mind stung but then he lies, sort of. He didn't tell us Newt was with him, Newt who had probably been trying to get Minho back and bring him to us but did it alone because he was a  martyr and he couldn't let others be in any form of danger. 

He took the kid and walk right into the lions den, WCKD's headquarters. "Look I get that your angry and that I withheld an important piece of information but look at it like this, Newt didn't want to be found and you being here could have ruined that plan" Said Gally and I stopped my angry pacing to look at him with confusion and a little anger. 

"What are talking about Gally?" Asked Frypan as I just continued to stare him down. Brenda and Jorge just looked at us knowing not to intervene, they didn't know Newt or Gally for that matter. 

"When Lawrence captured him he killed a few of Lawrence's men and then Lawrence offered him a deal. We keep you hidden, a ghost and you in return keep me in control and take down WCKD" he said and I was tempted to punch him again but held back. 

"Why?" I Said slightly broken, desperate. 

"He wasn't trying to find Minho he was just living life. He told me what he's done since he left you guys and he just got drunk most days, well tried his mainframe stops alcohol from affecting him or any drugs. You guys don't get he only cares about Lucy, Sam, Sally and Franky besides that he's not human, he's a machine" Said Gally before he got up and walked away into a different part of the abandoned building that seemed to be lived in. Probably Newts place since we had to scale the walls and there were cranks chained on the 2nd and 3rd floors. 

"Uncle Newts a good person, just broken" Said a girl who looked in her early teens. She had blonde hair and pale skin with pale blue eyes. "I'm Franky by the way" she said before turning and leaving. (Portrayed by Sabrina Carpenter)

Newt POV 

The next morning I was buying breakfast for me and Sammy. Sammy was missing his mum and sisters and to be fair So was I. Before today since I'd arrived at the small settlement I'd spent everyday with Lucy and her family, even the kids have started to call me Uncle Newt. I'd gotten close enough to them that Lucy knew everything about me. The Maze, after, my mainframe and even before all that. I remembered everything after the operation, they had to remove the swipe for it to be safe but they thought installing my mainframe would remove my memories, how wrong they were. 

"Hey idiot what you thinking about?" Asked Sammy from his place opposite me in the diners booth."You sure are deep in thought. You need to relax" he said and I laughed at him. Sammy had black hair and was the opposite of his 2 siblings taking features more like his fathers where his sisters got their mothers blonde hair and blue eyes although his twin Sally had green eyes which was the only real similarity between them. His green-Brown eyes lured people in when they once held innocence and wonder but now held barely contained crazy and snarky comments. He grew up quicker than his twin Sally always looking after his younger sister espeacially after their father died at her own hands. 

"What can I get you two handsome gentlemen?" Asked the waitress although she was mostly looking at Sammy. But the kid was oblivious like usual since he was looking at the menu. His girlfriends recently died due to the flare as she caught it about 3 months before him. Sammy was heartbroken and is trying to move on, he keeps acting like nothing happened but he isn't himself. Before he would flirt with girls but would stay loyal to Alice and she didn't mind knowing it was in his nature espeacially after I got here. 

"I'll have chocolate banana pancakes and some orange juices" he said not noticing the waitress checking him out, idiot. 

"I'll get strawberry waffles and black coffee" I Said. Yes I still eat it just isn't nessesary but since we were in public I had to so we didn't raise suspicion. When the witrsss left to get our order I turned to Sammy with a raised eyebrow. "Seriously pretty girl tries to flirt with you and you don't flirt back? You e changed" I said faking shock since he seemed to be lost in his own head worried about something. 

"I'm just worried" at my raised eyebrow he elaborated. "What if someone finds out about my condition?" He asked and I sighed. He shouldn't have to worry about this he was only 16 years old. 

"If someone finds out and tries to take you away I'll kill them" I said bluntly like killing someone was the same as ordering a coffee. As Sammy was about to answer the waitress returned with our food smiling at Sammy leaning down too far when putting his food infront of him putting a piece of paper down alongside the plate. "Or we can phone that number for help" I Said when the waitress walked away. He rolled his eyes and we ate our food and drank our drinks occasionally insulting each other like we usually did. 

"Fat ass you done cause we have things to do" I Said to Sammy and he nodded and I put some money on the table enough to cover our bill and we walked outside. 

"So I have a question, have you ever actually had a girlfriend or are you just a fuckboy?" Sang asked me whilst we were walking down the street heading towards the centre of the city, towards WCKD. 

"Why'd you ask?" I Said instead of answering his question. 

"Cause you could do with a little company. You seem Lonely the only people you talk to are me, my mum, my sisters and Gally, Let's not forget you have pet cranks, that's just weird" He said and I laughed a little before thinking to my past. 

"Yeah I did once but that's all your getting" I told him and he nodded as we came to stand at a busy crossing filled with people. I was stood next to a young girl although I didn't look at her face as she wasn't important to me just another face in a sea of people. I had Sammy to my left as we were stood silently waiting, know Sammy though he'd ruin the silence somehow. 

"So Uncle Newt What was this mystery girlfriend called? Was she one of WCKD's subjects like you?" He just had to open his mouth. I was about to reply but was cut off by a feminine voice coming from my right. 

"Newt?" Asked the voice I loathed yet loved to hear. Memories surfaced of late night conversations and those speacial moments, why did it have to be her? 

"Hey Teresa"
