Name: Meltdown

Summary: ❝We're the only theory they can't prove, and we don't have anything to lose.❞

Mia Fernandez was an Irwin and proud of it. She'd been out in the field since the age of fifteen and had earned quite a reputation along the way; she became known as the girl who never missed and a fairly popular person to watch when she was out in the field. Four years after first stepping out onto the field, her reputation remained and she became infamous across various media outlets, even earning her offers to join up with various other teams and sites across the country.

But there was only one team she ever wanted to join; she wanted to be part of the Mason's elite group in California. If you got with them, you're basically set for life.

After dreaming of being part of their team for so many years, Mia finally gets a chance. She's hired as the Mason's personal bodyguard, which she happily accepted. She moved her entire life from Ashwood, Oklahoma to Berkeley, California to where the Masons were based. It was a stretch, but she wanted to do it and she'd do anything to make it work.

But almost as soon as she arrived, she knew nothing would be as easy as she originally thought they would be.

Pairing: Shaun/OC with some Georgia/Shaun.

Rating: T – for mild bad language, some violence, mild blood and gore and moderate sex references – RATING MAY GO UP.

Genre: Romance/Horror

Disclaimer: I own nothing used, except for the idea for this story, Mia and my other OCs. This story is purely for entertainment purposes only.

Story song: Meltdown by Stromae feat. Lorde, Pusha T, Q-Tip & HAIM.

Author's note: So I finally got round to write a Newsflesh fanfiction so I hope you all enjoy! There will be a lot of spoilers in this story since I'll try to follow the events of the books as closely as possible while also putting my own twist on things to keep it interesting, although there is a slight AU twist to some of the first part but it does still follow the basic story line of the book; I hope you all enjoy once again! I'm pretty sure nobody will read this because the Newsflesh fandom is basically non-existent but here goes nothing.

Basically, how this will work is that I'll divide this book into three parts; part one being Feed, part two being Deadline and part three being Blackout. Just as a lil heads up for you guys.

Katherine Langford as Mia Fernandez.

But without babbling on too long, on with the story.

"we drank in the remains

of ruined buildings

and we sat in a cave or

wrecked houses on farms given back to the bank

listening to men who'd been raised

in ways that were lost

and we strained to make out

the use of their news

they were crazy or passed out

speed notched with a cross

they drank from the flask and the mouth

they came in and shook off the rain

inflamed and dismayed

calm and arcane

the least one seethed chanting whitman for hours

then wept at the dregs of the fire

foam formed at the edge of their lips

we drank and waited for something to drop

you and I looking and sifting

for signs written in wax

we were young we knew how to die

but not how to last

a small man who claimed he was blake raged

all night and probably he was

he had god in his sights

white crosses shone in our eyes or acid mandalic

in the ruins the men talked:

seraphic and broken

glowing with gnosis and rubbish

we sorted their mad sacred words

these dog-headed guides to the life after

and the life after that"
