- "So where exactly are you taking me?" I say as I'm following the man in the black suit.
- "You will see."
We continue on walking and I nervously look around. I am blown away by how big this place is and how many people there are in here. Who would of thought that the world had so many other things than just a glade and a maze. We enter into what seems to be a laboratory. This woman is standing with a white lab coat.
- "Hi." She says saying to me.
- "Uh hi?"
- "Thank you." She says to the guard. "You can wait outside."
The guy nods and leaves. She turns back to me.
- "Sit." She says.
I slowly sit down and look around.
- "My name is Doctor Raida. And you are?"
- "Y/n."
- "Nice to meet you. That's a lovely name."
- "Thanks? Nice to meet you too I guess."
- "Do you know why you're here?" She asks.
- "No. And I was about to ask you that."
She giggles.
- "I was told that one of the new arrivals, which you may conclude is you, had a broken arm."
She points to my arm. It is in fact still in the cast. I completely forgot about that.
- "So. Can you tell me what exactly happened while I take a look at it?"
- "Uh sure."
She sits on this rolling little chair and comes next to me. She helps me take off the brace that Clint and Jeff made me.
- "You can start." She says.
- "Well." I say, while she is examining my arm. "I was in the maze one day and my friend had been stung and he shoved me into a concrete wall. I then fell on the ground as well."
She continues on looking at it.
- "Then what happened?"
- "Uh...well. When I came back into the glade the next day, the Medjacks told me it was broken."
- "What did it first looked like, before you saw these Medjacks."
The image of my arm dangling pops up in my head.
- "It was dangling everywhere, and definitely not pointing in the right direction."
Her eyes double.
- "Wow. That's impressive." She says strolling away from me.
- "I'm sorry. How is a broken arm impressive."
She gets up from her chair and giggles.
- "These Medjacks you talked about. They re-broke your arm right?"
- "Yes..."
She turns around and writes on a piece of paper.
- "It's impressive because they knew exactly what they were doing. You didn't have any x-rays or whatever in there and the fact that they broke your arm at the right area, is impressive. You could of have gotten long-term problems if they had broken it in the wrong area."
I smile thinking of Clint and Jeff. They really were the greatest and I miss them deeply.
- "Clint and Jeff. They not only saved me, but the rest of us as well."
She turns around and smiles.
- "They might of saved you then, but now I will make this problem go away."
I look at her confused.
- "What is that supposed to mean?"
- "Follow me."
I get up from the chair and hold my arm up. She opens this door and there is this huge machine with this chair inside of it.
- "What the hell is that?"
- "That. Is the machine that will fix your arm."
- "I'm not following." I say, confused.
She points to the chair signaling for me to sit on it.
- "This machine, called the Rep-10X30, is able to repair any broken bone in a matter of minutes."
I sit on the chair and almost fall down when I hear her say that. How is it possible for a bone to be repaired in a matter of minutes. I look at her in shock.
- "I know." She says, noticing my expression. "Crazy right."
- "How is that even possible?" I ask.
She places all of these things around me, to hold me still.
- "It's a lot of science that I don't think you could handle."
I feel deeply insulted by that.
- "Try me." I say, quite rudely.
- "Relax and don't move."
She leaves the room and I look around. Suddenly the machine starts moving. This might be cool and all, because my arm won't be broken soon, but I have a feeling the only reason they are doing this for me, is because they somehow know that I don't trust them. They want to get me on their side, but unless proven other wise, that won't happen. As the machine is still going, I think of the past three years. From when I first arrive to the maze, to now, entering this place. Did we really leave Wicked? All these questions flood through my brain that I don't even know where to start. I think of everyone that I lost. Alby. Gally. Chuck. Jeff. Clint. And so many others. At such a young age, I shouldn't have lost this many people. In some way I blame myself for all of their deaths, but when really thinking about it, it's all of Wicked's fault. The machine finally stops, which snaps me back to reality. Doctor Raida walks back in. She takes away all of the things she had previously placed on me.
- "Alright!" She says. "You're all set."
I get up from the chair and touch my arm. Weird, it doesn't hurt anymore. I move it around and feel nothing. It is more than fine. I look back at her. It is completely healed.
- "Thank you?" I say.
- "You're more than welcome. Now come on, we don't want to keep your friends waiting."
She heads out and tells me to follow her. The other guard is there and he walks away. I follow him. I think about everything that just happened. Bringing me here was definitely planned. We finally get to the room where my friends are and the guard opens it.

THOMAS'S POV
The door closes and y/n is gone. I run to the door and sigh.
- "She's going to be fine." Says Newt.
I turn back to face him.
- "Is she? They just took her! And we don't even know where!" I say.
I walk around the room and start pacing. I don't trust these people, and now, that they took y/n, I trust them even less.
- "Thomas calm down." Says Minho.
I disregard what Minho says and continue on pacing.
- "Thomas please. She will be back soon." Says Newt.
- "AND HOW DO WE KNOW THAT FOR SURE." I say, snapping at him.
I take a step back realizing that I shouldn't have raised my voice at him.
- "I'm sorry." I say. "I shouldn't have raised my voice."
- "Look I get it. This place is new, but we're free. And out of anyone I know that Y/n is fine on her own. She's a real badass and I trust that she will be fine. And if something does happen, she can take care of herself."
I look at Newt whether or not to believe him. I know y/n can be fine on her own...but I can't lose her. Not again. Even though she doesn't know what I remember, I still need her by my side.
- "Thomas. Sit down she'll be fine." Says Minho.
I look at him and take a deep breath. I sit down next to Newt.
- "Why are you stressing so much about her?" Newt asks.
I stay quiet. I don't feel like telling them how I feel about her, especially to Newt since he's her twin brother.
- "He likes her what do you think." Says Teresa.
I look at her in shock. How does she know. Minho and Newt giggle.
- "I'm your sister after all. But that's besides the point because everyone here knows how you guys feel with one another."
I look at them not knowing what to say.
- "It's true. We aren't blind Thomas." Says Newt.
The door opens and I get up as quickly as possible. Y/n walks in.

Y/N'S POV
I walk in and see Thomas getting up as quickly as possible. The others do the same. The door behind me closes.
- "Y/N!" Says Newt running towards me.
He hugs me tightly, but immediately pushes away.
- "What?" I ask.
He points to my arm.
- "How...how?" He says.
Minho, Fry and Teresa walk up to me.
- "I know...it's crazy right." I say.
- "That's why they took you? To fix it?" Asks Minho.
- "Yeah. I still don't understand how it's humanely possible, but it worked I guess."
They all hug me one after the other, but I can't take off my eyes off of Thomas who is standing far away from us. After hugging all of them I walk up to him.
- "How does it feel, to not be broken anymore?" He says while giggling.
I playfully punch him in the arm.
- "Hey!" He says.
- "It feels great. And now I can actually beat you up with both of my arms." I say while winking at him.
Suddenly the doors open and this man walks in. We all turn around and walk towards him.
- "You kids doing alright?" He asks. "Sorry about all the fuss. We had ourselves a bit of a swarm."
Thomas goes in front and I do the same. The man looks at me.
- "I see you got yourself all fixed up." He says, pointing to my arm.
Weird. How does he know I was the one who had the broken arm, when I've never seen this man before.
- "Who are you?" Asks Thomas.
- "I'm the reason you're still all alive. It's my intention to keep you that way. Now, come with me. We'll get you kids all settled in."
He leaves the room and we all stay put.
- "Come on!" He yells.
We all look at each other and Thomas starts walking.
