A/N: Hey y’all! Sadly, I don’t own any of these wonderful characters other than (y/n)! I hope you’ve all had a great week! A part two was kindly requested by @justfangirlthingies so here it is! I hope you like it! It takes place at the end of scorch trial movie, because, as we all know, the books and movies are very different! Enjoy! Btw, there may or may not be a part three and four coming soon ;)
Summary: After making it through the scorch and to the Right Arm camp, you have a moment of peace before trouble, also called WCKD, finds you once again.
Warnings: cranks, mentions of death, major angst, explosions, gunshots, violence, with fluff at the end!
(y/n) - your name
(y/n/n) - your nickname
(y/h/c) - your hair color
When you finally made it to the Right Arm camp, you, Newt, and the remaining gladers were ecstatic! You finally were safe from WCKD. There were even teenagers from other mazes at the camp as well. You held hands with Newt as you were walking to meet their leader, Vince.
He looked down at you with a soft smile, “See, love? I told you we’d get through it together.”
“Have I told you how much I love you?” You flirted.
“I don’t believe you have. But I can show you how much I love you later.”
You slapped his shoulder jokingly, “Newt! We’re in public!”
He pulls you into his side, forcing your smile to grow. “I really could care less, love. I want the whole shucking world to know you’re mine!”
You lean up and kiss his cheek followed by him pushing a strand of your (y/h/c) hair behind your ear.
Sometimes, he is just too cute. Often, you find yourself dreaming of your future with him. You wanted to marry him and start a family in the safe haven, if it even exists. You may even want a do- You’re ripped from your thoughts as Brenda makes a wheezing noise and falls forward, face planting in the dirt. Jorge falls on his knees next to her and asks her repeatedly what was wrong. You look to Newt in worry and he just raises his eyebrows in confusion. After a few seconds, Vince yells, “Oh shoot. Crank! We’ve got a crank!” And pulls out a pistol, aiming it at Brenda. The group tenses as both Jorge and Thomas jump in front of the gun and plead for her life. Newt gently grabs your waist and pushes you behind him, still holding your hand. Soon, a woman comes out and manages to calm Vince down. She takes Thomas, Brenda, and Jorge into a medical tent to try and help the flare infected Brenda.
After the commotion dies down, you and Newt wander around the camp until you see a huge rock at the top of a hill. You pull him up to the top of it and you both sit there in silence, admiring the setting sun.
“It’s so beautiful.” You say.
“It sure is,” Newt responds, but he’s not looking at the sunset. He’s looking at you.
You notice this and roll your eyes, “Sweetheart, that was the cheesiest, most cliche thing I have ever heard you or anyone say.”
You both bust out laughing as he pats his lap, inviting you to lay your head on him. You accept and look up at his handsome face.
“I can’t wait to get to the Safe Haven. I can’t wait for us to get there.” His smile somewhat fades and you can tell he’s conflicted about something.
“(Y/n), there’s something I need to tell you.” You think he’s going to break up with you, so you start to freak out.
Sitting up, you squeak, “W-what is it, Newt?”
“Well, darli-“ he starts, stopping at the sight of you in tears. In an instant, his facial expression changes from fearful to concerned.
“What’s wrong, (y/n)?”
“You’re breaking up with me aren’t you?”
“No! Absolutely not! I lo-“
Before he can finish, he’s cut off by the sound of distant explosions. You both get up, sprinting as fast as he can with his limp, towards the camp. “It has to be WCKD,” you yell, “How did the shanks find us!?” At the sound of gunfire, he grabs your wrist and positions you behind him, “You stay behind me, no matter what, alright? I’m going to keep you safe, just like last time.” You nod in agreement as you both run towards the now burning camp.
When you get there, the sight horrifies you. WCKD troops and the Right Arm soldiers were engaged a huge shootout. Grenades were being thrown, people were being killed, and it was all too much for you. Luckily, you had Newt to hold on to and protect you. You see Fry and Minho using some barrels for cover and point them out to Newt. You make you me way over to them, trying not to focus on the chaos happening around you.
When you reach them, Minho asks frantically, “Have you seen Thomas!?” After we both shake our heads, he curses under his breath before turning back to the action. You see Harriet and Vince struggling to keep up with the barrage of WCKD soldiers and run over to them, quickly followed by Newt, Minho, and Fry. Vince hands Minho a shotgun and Newt is given a sniper rifle. You stick to the pistol you always carried in your thigh holster, taking out as many WCKD troops as you can.
“I. Told. You. To. Stay. Behind. Me.” Newt grunts between shots. “I know you did, but I want to make sure you stay alive too, and we’ve got strength. In. Numbers,” taking out 3 agents during the last sentence. You see a shocking device fired from a WCKD gun and duck just in time for it to miss your head. “Vince! Hurry up!” Newt yells. He yells in response but you weren’t paying attention due to a WCKD soldier carrying a small blue orb in the distance.
All of a sudden, he throws it at Vince in the truck, earning a “Shi-“ from him before the orb exploded into bolts of electricity. Newt pulled you into him to try and shelter you from the brunt of the grenade, but it shocked everyone in the vicinity, including the both of you. You all fell to the dirt and it felt like your whole body was on fire as you convulsed due to the electrical current running through you. Although you wanted to stay strong, you grunted in pain, followed by the rest of the group doing the same.
After what felt like forever, the pain stopped and you were roughly grabbed off the ground by a WCKD guard. “Get your hands off of her!” Newt spat.
“Ooh this one’s feisty.” The guard says to the one next to him. “Too bad Mr....,” he looks at the device in his hands, “A5, here, can’t do anything about this.”
He smacks you hard in the face, causing you to yelp. Newt thrashes against their hold and screams at the guard, “I’LL BLOODY KILL YOU, YOU SHANK! YOU’LL PAY FOR THAT!!”
The guard just laughs in response and pulls you away, following you with a gun pressed against your back. You tried to forget about the stinging radiating from your cheek and focus on the situation. Knowing you will not go into captivity again, you start to look for a way out. Newt was close behind, which made you feel a little bit better about your situation. At least you had him.
In all honesty Newt’s outburst scared you a little bit, but you felt protected and loved more than anything. The last thing you wanted was for him to be killed in response to smarting off or fighting back against WCKD, so you hold back your tears in a feeble attempt to look strong for Newt. “I’m okay, Newt,” you say, your voice cracking. Before he gets the chance to respond, you’re shoved onto your knees with him beside you. He holds your hand and looks at you with a look you couldn’t decipher. It looked confused, concerned, loving, and regretful, all at the same time.
Looking straight into your eyes, he whispers, “I love you with all of my heart, (y/n) and if this is it, I want you to know that it’s always been you. You make me happier than any shank in the whole world. I just wish we had more time together.” His eyes start to glisten with unshed tears as your own threaten to spill over.
“Newt, darling, I’ve feel the exact same way. No matter what happens, know that you’ve made me feel happier, safer, and more loved than anyone could ever dream of. The world we live in is harsh, brutal, and unpredictable, but your love has made me feel more secure than any maze ever has. Do you remember what you told me that night in the mall when we escaped the cranks?” The tears are slowly streaking down your face now, and Newt’s threaten to spill over.
He nods, “I said that we’d get through it together.” You sniffle after you both say “together” at the same time. “We sure have done it together, haven’t we, love?”
“We sure have.” You both move towards each other until your faces are inches apart. He glances from your eyes to you lips, and you do the same. You lean forward and your lips connect in a passionate kiss that is ended early by a WCKD guard pulling you two apart by your hair. Newt starts to say something to them, but you give him a look that makes him go silent. “I love you,” he whispers.
“I love you too.”
In what seems like a blur, Jansen walks out of a helicopter and Thomas surrenders himself. Then, Ava Paige herself shows up with Theresa.
“How could she betray us,” you think. You’re once again yanked to your feet as they start loading the captured immunes into transports. Luckily, they’re starting on the other end of the group, so you still have a little more time. Mary, the woman who helped Brenda, interrupts Dr. Paige during her monologue, and in a flash, is shot and killed by Jansen. Your mouth hangs open and your eyes become wide at the terrifying event that just played out before you. Trying to get your mind off of Vince’s howling sobs, you zone out, thinking back to the glade; the only place you’ve ever called home. Only Newt squeezing your hand snaps you out of your stupor.
Out of the blue, Thomas pushes the guards surrounding him back and pulls out a bomb!! “Get back! Everyone get back!” He screams at your captors. “Do you want all of them to die?” Dr Paige asks. Suddenly, you feel like everything you’ve ever done in your life has lead to this moment. You let go of Newt’s hand and start to walk towards Thomas. You are quickly followed by the gladers. All gathered behind Thomas, Newt takes your hand as he says, “We’re with you, Thomas.” Despite the pleas from Ava and Theresa, you all close your eyes and prepare for death. Newt pulls you in close where your head rests on his chest. He then buries his head in the crook of your neck. You could hear his heart beating so fast you think it might jump out at you. Taking one last deep breath of his scent, you squeeze him tighter, and he does the same.
