Hi, fan fiction are fun because if you don't like the end of a book you can play with his character a little bit more. Some times I prefer the books that don't end as I like so I can play a little bit more..
Anyway, all this is to say: I own nothing. Also, this is not betad and I'm not a native speaker, so, if you wanna comment, even only to said how I could improve my English, I will love it. Also, If you can think a better title, I will love to hear it.
thank you to read.


Thomas has just been introduced to the two strangers - Dr Wright and Dr Christensen - and now Janson was talking about needing his brain. For a terrible moment Thomas was sure they were going to open his skull and to have a look inside meanwhile he was still alive, but apparently their instrument should suffice for a less invasive inspection.

They were going to stimulate his brain, and they expected results consistent with the blueprint. At the same time they were going to stimulate a Flare infected brain, forcing it to have the same reaction, to activate the same regions of the killzone. This, combined with a drugs that should improve the antibodies reaction to the virus, should give the possibility to the infected to get ride the Flare and acquire immunity.

"We would like to start as soon as possible, if it is ok with you Thomas"

"I guess I need some time to reflect on it…"

"Maybe" Janson interrupted him "you will feel more confident knowing that the candidate chosen between the infected is one of your old friends…"

"What do you mean?"

"Looking for the blueprint, and observing the control group as well, we realize that you can induce some reactions in others subject, and that is the reason you are our Final Candidate. On the other hand, the sick subject that better react to your interaction was the subject A-5"

"Newt..." was the soft whisper from Thomas.

As evocated, the blond guy was bring into the same room by three guards. Thomas' heart cried to see his friend, pale and banged-up, his ripped shirt barely hanged onto his thin frame. But the worst part were Newt' eyes, angry and completely insane.

When those eyes landed on Thomas, the older boy started to scream: "I trusted you with the note! No one else! Why you didn't do it! Why you cannot kill me you, shuck coward?! Couldn't you put me out of my misery? I trusted you. I trusted you! And now I'm again in their hands!" Newt cried.

Janson looks unimpressed "Isn't he under Bliss?"

"We gave him the normal doses, but he seems unaffected"

"Fascinating" Dr Christensen step in before Janson could add anything. "Wanna we start?" She couldn't contain her excitement.

"Thomas didn't agree yet" Janson smirked, and Thomas hated him, because he couldn't abandon Newt again, not after had left him in the Cranks Palace, not after had ignored his note.

They start the procedure.


In Thomas the discomfort of the brain electric stimulation wasn't so horrible as many of the Variables he was subject to. But he cannot said the same for Newt. Looks like "forcing it to have the same reaction, to activate the same regions of the killzone" consisted in fried his brain every time its reaction is not the same as the Thomas one. Thomas was sure the electrocutions was declared illigal and immoral ages ago, but for WICKED ethics and science doesn't mix.

So the procedure was a nightmare, worst than assist Alby to pass through the Changing, worst than see Chuck dies at the end of the Maze, worst than everything, because Newt was calling his name, he's crying for him "please, Tommy, please, make them stop it, kill me, kill me…" and Thomas cried for the whole procedure.

He could swore that the procedure last days, but when the first explosion rattled the building - hospital- Thomas realized he was here for last that three hours. HE also realized that he had been pass out sometime before, because was in another room, and he couldn't see Newt anywhere and that is bad, really bad.

A manila folder on the table beside his bed caught his attention.

It contained the indication to find the other subject, and indication to get out of there. And a letter from the Chancellor whom explains her reason.

Thomas was glad for the direction, even if he trusted the letter only for Brenda' sake, but he couldn't breath till he found Newt in the next chamber. The blond boy was pale, but cleaner than before, the only sign of the procedure were the tears on his cheek and the burn signs on his temples.

After that everything looks like a dream. He remember to bring Newt unconscious body in the Flat Trans room before head for the Maze. He remember to talk to Vince, to convince Gally to join him, to be back in the Maze and to fight again against the Grievers, but everything seems even less real than his memories-dreams.

But doesn't matter, all that matter is that now, a week after, they are safe in the paradise, and even if Newt didn't wake up yet after the procedure, he just start to struggle.

Minho is faster than Thomas to grab the blond' hand, and the both of them lean on the bed of the blond with identical expression of hope.

"Hey shuck-faces…" is his first whisper, and Thomas just bows and hugs him like his life -or his sanity-depends on it. That's does, by the way.

Minho hugs both of them and they stay in that way till Newt fall asleep again.


Everything is fine, everything is perfect in paradise, till is not.

Two weeks after he wake up in Paradise, Newt sees Alby for the first time. And that is not good. And No-one else seems to see him, and that is even worst.
