His arm wrapped around her waist he threw her to the floor after they came through the Flat Trans.
"Minho! Oh my-"
"How do you know my name?" He looks at her with a blank expression.
She creases her forehead and looks at her old friends, the same blank expression stares back.
He doesn't remember me, none of them do.
They are out in some fields, with a stunning view of the city.
It's been a few weeks since they arrived and they are getting a camp built. There are tents everywhere. Each one for something different.
Minho has been in charge, telling people where to go, what to do and the Immunes let him. Nobody else has a clue.
"Hey, you need help with that?" An young girl, maybe Minho's age or a little younger, approaches him. She's attractive and whenever he's seen her she has an air of confidence about her but now she seems nervous and tentative.
He hands her one of the sacks he'd been carrying, "thanks."
"No problem." She heaves it over her shoulder, no complaints.
"What's your name? I think I've seen you about. You're the one with the twin right? Leonard? Li-" he tries to conjure it up.
"Linus yeah. I'm Ada. You? Well you're Minho. I know that."
He stops and looks at her, "what?" She rubs at her face, "do I have food on my face again?"
"No- no... The name is familiar. I can't seem to place it."
A spark lights in her eyes and a smile spreads across her face, "you remember?"
"No- just the name."
"That's enough for me." The smile remains plastered on her face.
Recognition lights his face and for a moment Ada thinks he may have remembered. "You were the one I saw on my first day right? The one I pulled through the Flat Trans?"
"Yeah. Yeah, that was you- I mean me." She throws the sack down where he points and her shoulders slump. She's out of reasons to stay and chat and all she wants to do right now is hug him.
"I remember seeing your brother, in the escape from the Maze but I don't recall you? You two strike me as the close sort."
"Yeah. We are." She doesn't explain herself, she doesn't want to she walks away. Every bit of energy going into not running back to him.
He watches her walk away bemused, he'd known someone once who dressed like that.
Had he?
A/N bittersweet ending for Adho!
What do you think?
Sequel?
Start over?
I have no clue.
