A/n: I finished watching the Netflix series, "The Rain" I'm not sure if all states have it but I'm in the US and I have it. The series is complete and you don't have to worry about a cliffhanger. (I fan casted Oliver from that show) his name in the show is Rasmus. The show is so underrated it deserves so much more attention. It's a dystopian series about rain that contains a virus and this group of young adults is trying to find a way to end it. I definitely recommend it! Let me know what you think of it if you watch it.

Y/n's POV:
After a while of being on the roof, Newt asked if I was going back inside, but I told him that I needed some time to think and process everything. He was always so understanding so he gave me some time to think. As I was lost in thought I hadn't noticed Oli come to sit to my right. "Aren't you cold?" He asked me as I felt him put a blanket around my shoulders. "Thanks," I said my voice coming off tired and soft. "Newt told you?" I asked Oli putting my head on his shoulder. "Yeah, I figured it out myself," Oli said with a sigh.
"How did you figure it out before us?" I asked confused. "Y/n, I have the flare too except mines is spreading slower than Newts because Lawrence gave me one of the last serums. That is why Lawrence only has that left in the Iv bag because he gave me some. He said he wants me to have the chance to live a little longer." Oli said putting his head down not looking at me revealing the crank bite. I was in shock once again my lover and my best friend/ brother are infected. And I don't know what to do to save them, both.
"Just like I told Newt, we can fix this we still have some time. I just need to plan and find the cure and we can save you both. I can't lose either of you." I said pausing to take a deep breath. "You saved me, you and Gally saved me. Just when I thought I had nothing worth living for I met you guys, I remember your exact words, "It will get better you'll see!" Remember? Those words kept me going throughout the scorch. And now I'm going to save you and Newt, even if it takes my life." I said hot tears rolling down my eyes, he too had tears in his eyes he was afraid I could see it.
"Can you promise me something?" Oli asked finally looking at me. I nodded not knowing if I could make any promises. "Let's be realistic, Y/n. You can't save everyone...so if it comes down to me or Newt. Promise me you'll choose Newt." He said to me as he tried to smile. "No, I can't promise you that, I'm not going to chose because we're going to save you both," I said my voice getting shaky. "I don't know what to do anymore, I don't know how we're going to pull this off. I don't want to lose anyone else." I breathed looking at my hands. "It's okay, everything is going to be okay." He whispered pulling me in and let me cry in his arms. "No it's not." I sniffled causing him to looked at me in confusion. "It's hasn't even begun." I mumbled looking at WCKD'S tall walls.
~
We heard the door behind us open and saw Gally come out and sit to my left. "Looks like the trio's back together huh?" Oli said smiling at Gally and me. "Yeah, it feels good to be back," I said putting my arm around the boy's shoulders. "I can't believe I'm saying this but I missed you two bickering and being annoying all the time," Gally admitted to us as Oli and I looked at him with fake shocked faces. "Wow, Gally missed us," Oli said putting a hand to his heart and making a pouty face as Gally and I laughed.
After a while, we all went back inside and kept talking about everyone's places with the plane. As everyone was talking I wanted to talk to Lawrence for a bit. He was in a computer room with other men trying to hack into WICKED'S system. "Y/n, I knew you'd come to talk. It makes me happy to know you're alive, now I can die in peace." Lawrence said with a smile. "Lawrence, come on don't say that," I said shaking my head.
"No, no, Y/n. You and I both know my time is coming soon and we can stop it. Look at me I don't want to live like this." He said hand motioning his face and hands that were almost fully covered in black veins. "I promised to help find you a cure but I failed, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said shaking my head. "You remind me so much of you're father, brave. You're always trying to save everyone, but please don't forget to save yourself." He said handing me a walkie-talkie.
"Here you're going to need this to contact me while inside the building, we'll turn off the cameras from here." He said patting my shoulder. "Thank you, Lawrence, for everything you've done for me and my family," I said thanking him not knowing if I would ever see him again. Uncle Jorge, Brenda, Newt, Fry, Gally, Thomas, Oli, and I headed to an abandoned church and we all waited there as Gally and Thomas left to kidnap Teresa. And now our plan begins.
Narrator's POV:
"Let's get him up." Two WCKD soldiers stated holding handcuffs with a chain as Minho laid on a bed looking exhausted. The WCKD men brought him to a discussion room where Teresa sat across the table her hair neatly put up and her hands on the table looking at Minho as he was sat across from her. Minho sat there with no emotion completely tired and drained. "Minho. Can you hear me?" Teresa asked looking at Minho but Minho gave no reaction and no response still looking down at the table.
"There's a little girl here. Her name is Shai Lun. She's been infected for three weeks now. But, Minho, you're going to save her. And you can save so many others. Everything we're doing here, it's working. Do you understand? That's why this is so important." Teresa informed Minho as he sat there and slightly moved his eyes still not speaking. Teresa seemed to give up and stood up looking back at him, "I just wanted you to know." She said turning around heading for the door but stopped in her place as she heard Minho slightly whisper her name, "Teresa."
"Minho? Minho?" Teresa questioned as she got closer to him. Minho looked up suddenly gathering the energy to yell and slam her against the table. "You're a traitor! We trusted you! You took Y/n away!" Minho went on yelling as he continuously slammed her against the table until the two WCKD guards saw what was happening. Minho quickly reached for the pin that once held Teresa's hair up neatly and hid it in his hands. The two WCKD guards got a hold of Minho pulling him away from Teresa, "Get off me! Get off me! I'll kill you! You traitor! You killed them all!" Minho yelled at her as he got tazed.
Teresa speed walked out of the room catching her breath as she leaned on a wall. Not long before a nurse/doctor came running towards Teresa catching her breath, "Teresa, they need you in the med lab. It sounds serious." The woman informed Teresa as she took off running seeing people in plastic suits. Screams came from the small girl Teresa had told Minho about. She walked up to a glass window standing next to Ava Paige.
They watched the young girl get out of control trying to bit the doctors and wasn't getting any better as promised. "I'm sorry, Teresa. It's not your fault. You did everything you could," Ava informed Teresa trying to comfort her. Feeling guilty about the little girl, Teresa walked away and out of the building. As she walked between people with and without masks she was about to cross a street when she saw a man being accused of being infected as his wife tried to convince the men that he was not infected. She waited for her turn to cross the street standing between the people lost in thought.
When she looked up she spotted a familiar face staring at her across the street. After a bus passed by Teresa was quick to chase after the boy she suspected to look so familiar. "This is an alert. Curfew is now in effect. Anyone caught in violation of curfew will be subject to immediate deportation." A woman was heard announcing over the speakers around the city.
"Thomas?" She questioned running after Thomas as he turned the corner. Thomas disappeared out of her sight, she spun in a circle then finally locked eyes with Thomas as he took off his hood. "Thomas." She said confused as to why he was meeting her. "Hey, Teresa," Thomas said sadly with a sigh. "You shouldn't be here. If Janson finds out you're here..." Teresa said worried Thomas would get caught talking to her. "I'm not staying. It's just, uh...I had to see you. I have to ask you something. Do you regret it? What you did to us, to Y/n?" Thomas asked walking up closer to her with a sad voice.
Teresa thought back to when she and Y/n were friends. Y/n was her first ever female friend, but she lost her the moment she'd betrayed her and she recognized that she messed up. She betrayed her closest friend, thinking that's she's doing the right thing to save the world. "Sometimes. But I did what I thought was right. I'd do it again." Teresa stated as she looked into Thomas's sad eyes. He gave her a slight nod, "Good." He responded with a sad voice as he looked to her side signaling Gally. Before Teresa could look at who was behind her, Gally was quick enough to put a bag over her head.
Y/n's POV:
Gally and Thomas finally got back with Teresa and sat her down on a chair in front of us. Oliver stood next to Fry. And I sat in chair playing cards with Brenda. Newt walked over and pulled the bag off of Teresa's head she glanced at all of us confused looking at Oli not recognizing him then, "Gally?" Teresa questioned not believing that he was alive as Newt came back and sat in a chair close to mines. "Here's how this is gonna go. We're gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know." Gally stated looking at Teresa with his arms crossed.
"We'll start off simple. Where's Minho?" Gally asked her as he pulled out a chair. "You guys don't seriously think..." Teresa started as she looked at Thomas and me but was cut off by Gally slamming his chair on the ground taking a seat in front of her. "Don't look at them. Why are you looking at them? Look at me. They're not gonna help you." Gally stated as Teresa looked at us with sad eyes, Thomas looked at her with sad eyes but I gave her no emotion. "Now, we know you have Minho in the building. Where?" Gally asked Teresa with an intimidating voice.
"He's with the others in holding. Sublevel three." Teresa finally said giving us information. "How many others?" Newt popped the question from beside me. "28" Teresa said plainly. "I can make that work," Brenda said as I put down a card and she put another over mines. "No. No, you guys don't understand. The whole level's restricted. You can't get in without a thumbprint ID." I heard Teresa say as I put down my last card and we finished the game. "That's why you're gonna come with us." I heard Thomas say from beside Newt as I looked up at him then saw Gally stand up from his chair and walk over to the table.
He grabs a scalpel and said, "Well I don't know. We don't necessarily need her. Right? Not all of her." I stood up from my chair and walked up to Gally taking the scalpel from his hand, "We just need her finger." I said with a smirk as I glanced back at the others, Oli and Gally looked excited, Fry looked scared of me but smiled, Thomas looked slightly mad but scared for Teresa, and Newt had a smirk on his face. I looked back at Teresa smirking a very noticeable nervous and scared emotion written all over her. I was walking over to her with the scalpel in hand. "Y/n, back off," Thomas said raising his voice from behind me.
"Don't tell me you've gone soft?" I said looking back at Thomas. "What, are you squeamish?" Gally said backing me up. "Aw. Is Prince Charming afraid Y/n is going to kill his w'ittle princess?" Oli retorted looking up at from the candle he was playing with and to Thomas. "I guarantee you she's done a lot worse to Minho," I said pointing at Teresa with a glare. "That's not the plan. Back off." Thomas said standing up and taking the scalpel from my hand. "You're no fun!" I said walking back to my chair.
"It won't make a difference. Do whatever you want to me. You still won't get through the front door. The sensors will pick you up the..." Teresa went off ranting as my finger hovered over a candle next to me. "We know. We're tagged. Property of WICKED. You're gonna help us with that, too." Thomas said going over to her and handing her the scalpel. Teresa did everyone and Thomas and I were left. "Try to relax. This is gonna sting." Teresa said beginning on my neck. "Just get on with it." I snapped back. She was trying to make conversation every few minutes. "You and Newt?" She asked but I didn't respond.
"You can tell he really loves you by the way he looks at you," she said pulling out the small wires making me hiss in pain. "Can we not talk about my love life, your acting like you never turned your back on me," I said letting her continue on my neck. "Y/n, I'm sorry about Minho, about everything but I did what I thought was right." She said with a sigh as she finished up and handed me a cotton wad to put on my neck. "Being sorry isn't going to change shit," I said to her as I threw the cotton wad on the small table next to me and walked over to uncle Jorge and Brenda.
"Better get going, old man. Long road ahead of you." I heard Brenda say to my uncle as I walked up to them tossing him the car keys. "You sure I can't talk you two out of this? It's your last chance." Uncle Jorge said looking at the both of us. "You know, it's not like you to shy away from a fight," Brenda said to Jorge as he leaned on a wall. "And it's not like you to go looking for one. I expected it from you, you're a fighter. Always have been." Uncle Jorge said nodding at Brenda and pointing towards me. "I just can't help but think if I walk out that door...I'm never gonna see you two again. Since when do we go sticking our necks out for strangers?" He said to us.
"I was a stranger once, too," Brenda said holding uncle Jorge's shoulders. "Just don't leave us hanging," Brenda said hugging Jorge tightly. "No. Never." Jorge said hugging her back. "Until we meet again, thank you," I said to uncle Jorge as he pulled me into a tight hug in which I stiffened into but hugged him back tightly, his hugs reminded me of my mom. As if he were reading my mind, "my Hermana (sister) (your mom) would be so proud of you right now," he pulled out of the hug, "take care of each other." He said as we nodded and he walked out of the church. I talked to Bren for a bit before heading over to stand by to where Fry, Gally, and Oli were sitting.
Thomas's POV:
"Try to relax. This is gonna sting." Teresa said sitting in a chair behind me as she reached for the scalpel. "Let's just get it over with." I replied trying to avoid a conversation with her. "She's looking good. Healthy. How've you been getting her serum?" Teresa asked me starting a new conversation as she took out pieces of my tracker. "What are you talking about?" I asked her confused. "Brenda. I didn't think she'd still be alive. When was her last treatment?" Teresa replied pulling out more pieces of small wires from my neck. "At the Right Arm. The last time we saw you." I said as she paused on working with my neck. "But that was months ago." Teresa said pulling out the last piece of the tracker.
I grunted in pain holding my neck and scooting my chair away from her, turning around to look at her. "Thomas, that's not possible. She should have turned by now. There's no way she could possibly still..." Teresa replied trying to argue about Brenda's health and get me to trust her. "All right, that's enough." I mumbled as I stood up from the chair annoyed as I walked away. "You don't believe me?" I heard Teresa yell from behind me standing up. I stopped walking and turned around to face her, "Do you really expect me to?" I said pausing. "You made your choice."I said looking into her eyes. Teresa didn't say a word she was silent.
"Everything okay over here?" Gally asked from behind me. "Yeah. Yeah, we're done." I said looking at Teresa one last time before walking over to Brenda where she stood cleaning a gun. "You're in love with her, right?" Brenda asked me as I put on a holster around my waist. "I don't know." I replied not wanting to talk about my feelings as I put on a jacket. "Just be careful. You sort of have this problem just like Y/n, where you can't walk away from people. Even when you should." Brenda said to me as she loaded the gun. "You and Y/n are so determined. You can't save everyone, Thomas." Brenda stated after a long pause handing me the gun. "I can try." I said as I pulled pulled on the gun.
Y/n's POV: (During Thomas's POV)
"She enjoyed that," Gally said as he threw the rag with his blood on the table. I stood near where Fry was sitting "Oh yeah, most definitely," I said seconding to what Gally had said. "You're probably right," Fry said to us as he let out a small chuckle. "It's a good thing I'm not tagged," Oli said as he patted Gally and Fry's shoulders with a smile. "Here. See if these fit." Newt said passing by us handing us each a WICKED guard suit. "Thanks. Thanks, Newt. Thanks." We all said receiving the suits from Newt as he took off his jacket. I put on one of the suit jackets that seemed to fit big but I managed to fix it.
I walked over to where he was putting on the suit jacket and gave him a kiss on the cheek and hugged him. Before I could let go from the hug I felt Newt's hands pull me back into his chest I looked up into his eyes tilting my head in confusion. He chuckled, "I'm glad the others can tell how in love I am with you." Newt said leaning down giving my lips a soft kiss. I blushed, "how did I ever get so lucky to have you, I don't deserve you," I said standing on my tiptoes kissing him.
"You don't believe me?" I heard Teresa exclaim to Thomas as I sat in a chair beside Newt cleaning my dagger and gun putting them back into my holsters. "Do you really expect me to? You made your choice." I looked up and saw Thomas yell at her with a hurt expression. "Everything okay over here?" I heard Gally ask the two as he walked over to them. "Yeah. Yeah we're done." Thomas said walking away. Thomas and Teresa have this connection that even I can't explain. But somehow Thomas still loved her, after everything. He still loved her. And I could never blame him because deep down inside me I miss her too, before she betrayed us. But It's like Thomas said she made her choice. "Nice try," was all I heard Gally say before pulling Teresa away.
