Thomas was still thinking on what to do with Newt when Chuck came back in. Like most of the other Gladers, his eyes were slightly red and puffy. Nurse Anna called the next Glader and left the room, Chuck sitting on the bed with a small sigh.

"So how did it go?" Thomas asked quietly, cocking his head to the side. Chuck gave a small smile while looking towards the floor.

"It was really good," he whispered. "You really can trust her, which is nice."

"Ah," Thomas nodded his head, the two falling silent for a couple minutes.

"Whoa!" Minho suddenly shouted, nearly falling off his bed. Everyone turned to look at him, some raising eyebrows and others just looking confused. "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa!"

"What's wrong with you?" Newt asked as he quirked an eyebrow, Minho holding his head with wide eyes.

"Something's happening man!" Minho urgently stated, a couple Nurses standing up and edging closer. "There's like, this thing happening!"

"What's happening?" Chuck asked.

"I think I'm remembering something!" Minho stated, eyes wide. "Yeah, I'm remembering something about the world!"

"Well bloody spit it out already!"

"It's… it's this thing called pizza," Minho whispered, a small smile coming over his face. "Oh man, I really want some pizza."

"What the shuck is pizza?" Alby questioned.

"It's this bread with melted cheesy goodness," Minho sighed happily and flopped on his bed. "I really want pizza."

"You didn't know about Pizza?" Thomas asked as he cocked his head to the side. Minho's mouth fell open, an offended look coming over his friends face.

"You knew about pizza and you didn't tell me?" Minho asked, shock and betrayal written across his face.

"I thought you knew!" Thomas defended himself, Newt chuckling quietly.

"What's your problem Slinthead?" Minho asked with a frown as he turned towards Newt.

"You didn't know about pizza," Newt laughed quietly, Alby let an amused smirk come across his face as Minho glared at the skinny boy. With a frown, he leaned forward and sharply clapped in Newts face, like the angry Nurse had about an hour before.

"Did… you just clap at me?" Newt asked with a raised eyebrow, Minho sitting smugly on top of his bed.

"Yes, whatcha going to do about it?" Newt glared at Minho before leaning forward and clapping at him. Minho then clapped back. Then Newt. Then Minho again. It was now a clapping war. The room was filled with loud and angry claps, Alby now face-palming.

"Why are they clapping at each other?" Chuck whispered to Thomas.

"Oh, Newt got out of bed so a nurse clapped at him to get him back in bed," Thomas explained… explained might not really be the right word though, because Chuck was still confused.

"What an earth are you two doing?" The clapping stopped as the angry nurse who had been clapping at Newt stomped up to them; both boys had wide eyes, their hands still in mid clap.

"Um…" Newt bit his lip as he glanced at Minho, unsure of how to proceed.

"We were clapping," Minho replied matter of factly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Why?" The Nurse asked as she put her hands on her hips, raising an unamused eyebrow. Minho paused at this, giving a glance to Newt who simply shrugged his shoulders.

"They have brain damage," Gally spoke up, both boys turning to glare at him. "The simulation can do that to you."

"Right… Well, if they ever start going crazy just call me. I'm Nurse Bertha," and with that the giant Nurse Bertha walked away.

"We have 'brain damage'?" Minho hissed at Gally who was smirking. "That's the best you could shucking do?"

"Come on, it was funny," Gally replied as he lay back, propping his head up with his arms. Newt glared angrily at Gally before he clapped at him.

"Oh, shuck it," Gally rolled his eyes, Thomas chuckling quietly.

"Thomas," Nurse Anna entered the room, rolling the Glader who had just taken a session with her back to his bed. "It's your turn."

Thomas frowned as he sat up and walked with the nurse out of the Recovery room.

*Break line!*

"I wanted to let you know that what you say will never leave this room," Nurse Anna stated as she clicked her pen open, Thomas easing himself into the big comfortable chair. "I swear on my life that I won't tell anyone else what you say."

Thomas nodded his head quietly, glancing around the room quickly. It was a relatively safe room. There weren't any windows, the door could was thick and sound proof, plus there was a rather lovely plant in the corner.

"How do you feel about Wicked?" Anna asked, Thomas frowning at the mention of the organization.

"I still have hatred towards it," Thomas crossed his arms and leaned back. "But, it's towards the Wicked in the simulation… I can't see you as Wicked."

"Right," Anna nodded her head as she wrote something down. "Do you hate Wicked outside of the simulation."

"Not yet."

Nurse Anna frowned quietly as she crossed her legs. "You don't trust us."

"No, I really don't. You haven't given me, or anyone else even the tiniest bit of a reason to trust you," Thomas narrowed his eyes. "You just… don't put children into a simulation like that!"

"You all volunteered—" Anna started to say before Thomas glared at her.

"That doesn't make it right!"

"I didn't say it was right," Nurse Anna leaned forward. "None of the Nurses think it's right to send children into a simulation with-with Grievers and Cranks and death and pain. But we couldn't do a shucking thing about it."

Thomas quirked an eyebrow as Nurse Anna used Glader Slang, though didn't comment on it.

"You volunteered because you didn't believe there was a world worse than the one you lived in and you wanted to do something about it," Nurse Anna sighed as she rubbed her forehead and leaned back in the chair. "Wicked is good… but not all of it is. It's not perfect and nothing is. We tried to stop you all from going into the simulation, but none of you would have it. We tried to go the big man who's in charge of everything but he wouldn't listen. Head Nurse Raven almost got herself killed to try and stop you from going in there."

"She almost died?" Thomas was doubtful. Sure, Head Nurse Raven was a very strong woman, but would she really get herself killed to try and stop them from entering the simulation?

"Yes…" Thomas didn't know if Nurse Anna was lying or not, but his gut told him her words held the truth.

"What happened to the Gladers who died in the simulation?" Thomas suddenly asked. "Were they taken out of it? Were they put back in? What happened?"

"They were asleep," Anna answered. "When they died, they were put into a deep and dreamless sleep. No harm came to them physically, except for the fact that, when their minds were asleep, their body grew weaker. The more trauma you experience the weaker your body outside the simulation will get."

Thomas frowned as he thought.

"I… shot Newt in the head," he whispered, glancing at Nurse Anna to see her reaction. Her face had a small frown on it. "Did I cause some of the trauma?"

"I'm afraid so," the nurse wrote something else down on the notepad. "Newt received the most trauma out of all the Gladers… would you like to set up a time to speak with him alone? I have a feeling you two have a lot to chat about."

"Yes!" Thomas calmed himself down. "Yes, uh, that would be good."

And suddenly… Thomas didn't really hate Wicked anymore. Yes, he still didn't trust them, but he didn't have a strong passion to escape them anymore, and that's what counted.

A/N: How did I do? I don't feel I did a completely awesome job on this chapter, but then again I don't do Thomas that well. Next up on the Therapy list is *Drum Roll Please* Minho! (The Chapter after the next chapter is Newt's Therapy session!)

I would like to thank Norami once again for the awesome review, and the stuff you specifically requested will appear shortly! :D
