Minho is sitting on the ladder of the Dropship thinking about the grounder. His long legs dangle as he listens to the raindrops hit the roof and the muffled sound of the delinquents as they talk about Finn and the grounder. Minho hears someone climb up the ladder, he looks down and sees the worried face of Thomas, and further down is the annoyed face of Newt.

"Stop mopping you stupid shank." Newt says, his British accent heavy with annoyance.

Minho flips him off before turning around so he can climb down the ladder.

Once at the bottom he sees a nervous Octavia, a worried Thomas, and an annoyed Newt. "Just great." He mutters to himself.

"What was that?" Newt asked, a smirk forming on his mouth.

Minho just ignores him, "What's up?"

"The grounder helped us." Thomas stated.

"So…" Minho trails off.

"So we think you can help him." Octavia says.

Minho deadpans, "How?"

Newt rolls his eyes at the exchange, "Octavia thinks that Bellamy respects you and will listen if you reason with him. We just need the antidote and then the grounder can be on his way."

"Antidote?" Minho asks.

"How long have you been hiding?" Newt asks.

"I haven't been hiding." Minho counters.

Thomas steps in before they start bickering like an old married couple. "It doesn't matter. Clarke got in contact with the Ark, they helped her get the knife out. It turns out the knife was poisoned but the grounder won't speak and Bellamy has been torturing him." Thomas explains.

"I know, I've been hearing the seat belt crack against his skin." Minho says, flinching at the thought. He though he would never be able to get rid of Atom's screams for death, but the new sound that echoes though his ears proves him wrong.

Octavia looks astounded, "And you haven't done anything about it?"

Minho shrugs, "What do you want me to do?"

"Talk to him!" She says.

Minho shake's his head 'no' "It won't work, if he won't listen to you he sure as hell won't listen to me. Try Clarke."

"She gave him the go ahead." Thomas fills in.

Minho thinks for a minute, "I have an idea. We just have to wait for Bellamy to leave."

They all look at Minho like he's an idiot, Minho holds his hands up in defense, "I'll tell Miller that I'll watch the grounder for a bit so he can have a break, then we can sneak him out."

Minho sees Octavia open her mouth to argue so he starts to speak, "Octavia you can't help, if Bellamy thinks you're with the Grounder he will know something's up. Plus we need you here to distract him so we have time."

Octavia doesn't look pleased, but she doesn't argue.

Minho smiles at her, "Okay so Octavia is going to be near her brother, Newt and Thomas are going to hang out near the room where they will be close enough to help but far enough to not look suspicious. I will go in a few minutes after Bellamy leaves and give Miller a break. I'll let Thomas in, and Newt will be the look out. Now all we have to do is wait."

"I didn't know you were smart." Newt jabs.

Minho smirks, "I have my moments."

Line Break

Minho watches as Bellamy climbs down the ladder, as Bellamy pulls Clarke aside his nods to the others. Minho pulls Newt aside before they go join Thomas.

"You can't let Octavia leave camp." Minho says.

Newt nods, "I already know that suckhead, we'll already be on Bellamy's bad side for this. If we lost his sister, he would murder us."

Minho shakes his head, "I'm taking the blame, Miller will only see me so he will tell Bellamy it's my fault. Don't stand up and be a hero, if we are all blamed then Bellamy will start getting suspicious of everyone and the camp could divide."

Newt scoffs, "When did you become a martyr? Isn't that Clarke's job? But sadly you are correct, Bellamy will go crazy if he thinks people are going behind his back. But he trusts you, shouldn't it be someone he doesn't trust?"

Minho shrugs, "I doubt Miller will trust Thomas enough to let him up there, or you for that matter, and we can't let anyone else in on the plan or else we risk the chance of it getting out. Octavia's already unpredictable, we don't need to add to that liability."

Newt looks around before whispering, "He trusted Murphy, and look where that got him. You are breaking the rules and Bellamy's trust, your punishment will be worse."

Thomas pokes his head down, "Are you coming are what?"

Minho glares at him and Newt just waves him off as he begins to climb the ladder. Thomas rolls his eyes at them.

Thomas and Newt go hide in the corner and Minho knocks on the trap door, Miller opens in and gestures for him to come in.

Minho looks at the grounder, he is shirtless and it reveals his lithe form and tattoos. Minho observes the wounds and flinches slightly, what will become of them after this he thinks.

Miller nods, "It's pretty bad, the sound is sickening, and Bellamy is strong. But this guy barely even flinches, and he doesn't make a sound, just takes it. It's like he's made of steel."

Minho looks at Miller, he sees the bloodshot eyes and bags, the way he stands as if he is ready to run, the torture is getting to him more then he lets on. He can also see the morale compass wavering, Miller knows he is passively contributing in this by not doing anything, and it's killing him.

"Do you need a break?" Minho asks.

Miller's shoulders sag in relief, needing someone to understand him and to lean on, even if it was just for a moment Minho could be that person, after all they're just kids who were sent to die.

"Thanks man, I'll be back before Bellamy is." Miller pets Minho on the back before leaving the room filled with the blood of the grounder and the metaphorical blood of innocence that Bellamy will never get back.

Minho waits for a movement before walking over to the grounder, he eyes Minho but doesn't do anything. Minho grabs a wet rag and says, "I know I'm not as adorable as Octavia, but I'm not that bad on the eyes." Minho starts cleaning the blood off of the grounder, "I'm going to need you to look less bloody so we can sneak you out of here." Minho is quick and then moves to untie the grounder, but before he releases him he asks, "I'm trying to help, I don't know if you understand, but if you nod your head I will untie you and we can get out of here."

Minho watches as the grounder nods, Minho takes a deep breath and hopes the grounder doesn't murder him as he unties him. Once the first arm is untied they both look at each other, waiting to see what happens, Minho waits three heartbeats before moving to the other arm.

Once the grounder's free Minho throws one of Newt's hoodies at him, "Put this on, we need you to blend in."

The grounder does as instructed, as Minho let's Thomas in. Thomas stares at the grounder as he comes in, Minho put's a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "He won't hurt us."

Thomas doesn't look away from the grounder, but he relaxes a little, "How are we suppose to get him out of the Dropship in a storm?"

"Newt here," Minho gestures to the grounder, "had a little to much of Monty's drink and needs to throw up, he's pretty beat up so the staggering won't be to hard. I will 'help' him get outside, you need to hide Newt. You two both need to get drunk so they won't suspect your help."

"Don't forget these." Thomas hands them the grounders stuff, including the antidote.

Minho turns to the grounder, he's bulkier then Newt but it will have to do, "I need you to lean on me."

The grounder looks hesitant, but does it anyway, Minho grunts under the unexpected weight, "Okay lets get this show on the road." Minho's voice is slightly strained.

Thomas stops them, "Won't Miller notice that you left your post?"

"I haven't thought that far ahead." Minho says, then starts to leave.

"Your going to get us all killed." Thomas mutters under his breath.

Getting out of the Dropship was easier then Minho anticipated, no one even noticed them they were all to distracted with Finn's never ending pain.

Minho follows the grounder, worried they'll run into some delinquents caught out in the storm. They reach the edge of the camp and Minho says, "Wait."

The grounder stops and listens, much to Minho's surprise."I know we've been unfair to you, but will you give us the cure? Finn's a bad guy, but he doesn't deserve to die like that. Also I don't think we've ever thanked you for saving us earlier, so...Thank you."

The grounder reaches into his bag and hands him the correct antidote, or at least that's what Minho thinks it is, the grounder says, "Thank you." His voice is deep and raspy. The grounder looks at Minho for a moment before leaving.

Minho is stunned, he didn't think the grounders could speak English.

Minho walks back to the Dropship and finds an angry Bellamy and a nervous Miller, Minho just shoves the antidote in Bellamy's chest, Bellamy fumbles for a moment before recovering the vial and his composure.

"You're welcome." is all Minho says.

Miller looks relived, but Bellamy looks livid, he grabs Minho by the shoulder and says, "Why did you help him get away? He could have had useful information."

Minho shoves Bellamy off and says, "Whatever the hell we want."

A/N I meant to update this over the weekend, but I thought Saturday was May 22 and it messed up my whole schedule. I'm sorry for the late update.

I'm also going to deviate from the story line so I can make it my own, and include The Maze Runner characters.

Please review and let me know if this was boring, unrealistic, or both.

Until next time!

And a huge thanks to Embers to Ashes who has been here from the very beginning, and for all the wonderful and helpful reviews. And thank you minstorai for your lovely reviews, and helpful advice.
