"No!" Alex screamed.

She sobbed. Newt didn't move when she laid her head on his chest. Sonya dropped down beside her. She gently moved his hair out of his face and placed her forehead down on his, crying. Minho stood there, for a moment, then dropped to his knees with a quiet anguished "no!"

The sisters cried, holding onto each other, and onto their big brother. Their brother who protected them as children, who missed them so much he knew something was missing in the maze and tried to end it all. The brother who sobbed when he found his little sisters again, the big brother who would do anything to keep his sisters safe and happy. They held his now lifeless body and cried.

Alex heard more footsteps but ignored them. Something had caught her attention. Alex sat up straight, fully attentive to Newt.

"Sonya...ssh for a second." Alex whispered. Sonya sat up and looked at her funny.

Alex leaned back over his chest. Placing her good ear over his heart. She closed her eyes concentrating hard.

No. It couldn't be! No, that's impossible! There's so much blood!

She sat up and then quickly placed her check right on his mouth. And she felt it! She felt the slightest wisp of breath.

"HE'S STILL SHUCKEN ALIVE!" she screamed.

She looked up wildly, seeing who else was around. Frypan, Captain Ronin, Gally, Felix, Brenda and Kenzie were standing around watching.

"HE'S STILL BLOODY BREATHING!' She screamed again.

Sonya gasped. Minho was looking back and forth between Newt and Alex. No one else moved.

"COME ON! WE NEED TO GET HIM TO DR PRIOR!"

Alex pulled out the syringe, trying to get it out. To her surprise Felix rushed forward and pulled it out of her shaking hands. Alex met his eyes, and nodded. Felix believed her. It didn't seem like anyone else did, because no one moved.

Minho crawled over, his eyes desperate. "He's alive?" He whispered. Sonya had her hands over her mouth.

Alex nodded, "barley."

Felix got the syringe out and jabbed it down into his chest, pressing his thumb on the release, the serum entering Newt's system. Alex sighed, and then looked at Captain Ronin.

"We need to get him back to the Berg. NOW!" She demanded.

He looked skeptical. That made Alex's anger flash wildly. Her fists clenched and she could feel her face getting red. She stood up and stormed over to him.

"THE LONGER WE STAND HERE THE LESS TIME WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM. AND IF HE IS DEAD I'M NOT LEAVING HIM THE SHUCK HERE TO ROT! SO HELP." She screamed, anger coursing through her small frame.

"Please?" She pleaded, tears ran down her face again.

Captain sighed in defeat. He picked up Newt, one arm under his legs and the other under his back. Newt's head flopped back.

"CAREFUL! WATCH HIS HEAD!" Gally yelled.

Alex spun around and ran, leading the group back to the Berg.

Minho caught up to her, his breathing was ragged, and his face was pulled into a frown.

"You...you saved a kid in The Glad. Real?"

"Yes. Matt. A wall fell on him."

"You had a breakdown. I helped you come out of it."

"Real." Alex confirmed.

Minho nodded. They sprinted in silence after that. She was desperate to get back. It seemed to take forever. Captain Ronin kept pace quite well, considering he was carrying a 19 year old kid. Alex made it to the Berg first, sprinting with every last ounce of energy to get Dr Prior ready, leaving Minho and Sonya to guide the others.

"DOCTOR? DOCTOR PRIOR!" Alex screamed, scrambling up the ramp. "NEWT NEEDS HELP!"

Dr Prior met her at the entrance.

"Okay, breath. What's the matter? Give me the report." He said calmly.

"Gave him the serum. But he's got a knife to the chest. He was just barely breathing. Ronin... bringing him...Need to hurry. I can't lose him!" She cried, gasping for air.

He nodded and spun back around scrambling to find his medical supplies and equipment. Alex followed.

The rest of the group came storming up the ramp Ronin in front carrying a bloody limp Newt.

"Lay him down over there." Dr Prior ordered, pointing to the medical corner

Captain Ronin obeyed and gently laid Newt down on the Berg floor, near the wall. Dr Prior ripped the shirt away, the knife was stopping most of the blood from leaving, like a plug, but it was still seeping out.

"Okay, Alex I'll need your help. I have to pull this knife out and when I do it's going to bleed. A lot. I'll need you to put pressure on it. Ronin, grab me all the towels and linen, gauze... whatever you can find. Fry go with him." He ordered, everyone jumped to it.

"Brenda!" Dr. Prior called. "Come here, help get this oxygen mask on! Alex, heart monitor now."

Brenda and Alex did as they were told. Everyone else backed up, giving them space to work. Alex went into herself. Focusing on her jobs, turning her mind off and letting her training kick in. She couldn't worry about Minho's fuzzy memories right now. Newt was priority right now. The other Gladers could help if needed.

Alex placed the last sticky electrode to his chest when clean white cloth appeared in front of her. Dr Prior had got everything else ready. He looked at Alex and Brenda.

"Girls, you ready. On three okay?" He gripped the knife. The girls had packed towels around the knife. He pulled and the knife came out in a shower of bright red.

Alex pressed the towels down, leaning with all her body weight, putting pressure on the open wound. Brenda passed her another towel, the one she had was soaked already. Dr Prior was ready to clean and sterilize everything. He was holding what looked like a little sauntering gun.

"A wonderful piece of medical equipment that came with me from WICKED when I left." He smiled, "it will help cauterize the wound inside and slow the bleeding so I can stitch it." He explained. "Remove the towels please."

Alex did as she was told. Dr Prior got to work. It was only a few minutes, and the bleeding slowed down considerably. Dr Prior started to stitch everything inside back together. He had used a few of the stolen WICKED medical equipment, the impromptu emergency surgery was finished rather quickly. Dr Prior was stitching the top layers back together when Alex noticed the heart rate monitor beep. She tapped it, but it didn't respond. The slow peeks were spreading out, and weren't as high.

"Dr Prior....?" Alex called, still watching the monitor.

"DR PRIOR!" She screamed, panicking, "WE'RE LOSING HIM!"

Dr Prior dropped the needle and thread and started pushing on his chest, which Alex had learned was called CPR. Dr Prior continued to push on his chest and breath for him. But the heart monitor didn't change from the flat line. Alex swung her head back and forth, thinking.

His heart needs to start! It needs a jump start! How do you jump start something...

Her head was swiveling around trying to think. Her eyes landed on Captain Ronin and traveled down to his belt. Her eyes went huge.

"Shoot me!" Alex whispered.

No one moved. Dr Prior continued to try and start Newt's heart.

"Shoot me!" Alex said louder. Still looking at Captain Ronin. His eyes narrowed. Still no one moved.

"I said SHOOT ME! DAMMIT!" Alex screamed.

Minho stepped forward, "Alex, what...what are you-" Alex cut him off.

"The gun! Shoot me!" Her eyes went to his gun and back to Minho, pleading. She was still kneeling on the Berg floor covered in Newt's blood, pleading to be shot.

"Alex!" Screamed Sonya, who was being held back by Frypan.

"SHUCKEN SHOOT ME!" she screamed.

Minho had turned and he snapped his eyes back to Alex, they were huge, realization and understanding flashed in his eyes. He lunged for the gun hanging on the Captain's belt. Captain tried to stop him but Minho was too quick. He snatched it and ducked under the attempted grab. Minho dropped to his knees and spun away, he lifted the gun as Sonya and Ronin screamed for him to stop, both lunging at him. The blue ball of electricity hit her square in the chest.

Alex's pupils dilated, she felt a surge of energy and power. She spun on her knees, electricity jumping over her body.

"MOVE!" she screamed at the Doctor, who scrambled back quickly, confused. But when someone covered in blood, with a wild desperation screams at you to move, who has electricity jumping all over her body, you listen. Alex slid closer, and slammed her hands onto Newt's chest. Sending a jolt of electricity through him.

"Someone check his pulse!" She yelled.

Dr Prior was back at her side, he checked for a heart beat. He shook his head.

"MOVE!" Alex yelled again.

Her jaw set, eyes narrowed. She slapped her hands down onto his chest, his body jumped. Dr Prior checked again, and shook his head. He looked at her sadly.

"Minho!" Alex yelled. "When I say now, shoot me again!"

She didn't explain further, she knew Minho would do it. Alex placed both hands on his chest, leaned on them, elbows locked.

"NOW!"

She felt the ball hit her back and the energy of the electricity absorbed into her body. She closed her eyes feeling it in her veins, she could feel it coursing through her. She concentrating on moving the power down her arms and into Newt's chest. She felt his body jolt.

"LIVE DAMMIT!" She screamed.

She removed her hands quickly. She heard a tinny beep, she dared to hope, she looked at the monitor. There were a few little beeps and peeks...

Dr Prior was back, checking his pulse. He looked up at Alex, his mouth open and eyes wide.

"Is he okay?" Sonya whispered, Frypan still had his arms clamped around her waist.

As soon as he let go, Sonya dropped down on Newt's other side. Dr Prior just nodded. He checked Newt's breathing. It was ragged, laboured but he was alive.

"Pass me that bag behind you please dear." He said to Kenzie, pointing to the shelf.

Kenzie scurried over and brought it over, Dr Prior pulled out some tubes and a canister and some other things. He quickly set it up and got the breathing tube set up, and he inserted a tube into Newt's mouth, and down his throat.

"It will provide proper oxygen for the time being. Once he is stable we can remove it and just have the mask." He explained.

He also inserted an IV, and hung the bag of fluid and pain medication. Alex sat back, leaning on her hands the electricity had faded, and she was left with an overwhelming felling of exhaustion. Dr Prior went back to stitching his wound.

Alex felt eyes on her, but she didn't want to talk about it. Some of them had heard rumors but never saw it, and for others it still freaked them out. She felt a hand on her head and it ran down the side of her face. Minho squatted in front of her. He didn't say anything, but his eyes said it all. He was proud of her, but also worried. He pulled her into his chest, wrapping his arms around her, one hand on the back of her head. Her bloody hands clenched onto his shirt. His other hand rubbed her bare back, making her hiss and pull away, the glass shards were still in there.

"Sorry! Come on, I'll get those few glasses pieces out."

Alex turned, and with tweezers from Dr Prior, Minho pulled out the glass slivers, it only took a few minutes.

Still don't have a shucken shirt! Almost tortured, escaped WICKED, ran through an exploding city, saved a life...and all while shirtless.

"Don't suppose there's an extra shirt kicken' around..?" She asked, breaking the silence.

The tension in the room broke and everyone chuckled. Something was chucked in her direction. Minho picked it up and handed it to her. She gratefully took it.

"Aww too bad. I prefer you without a shirt." He whispered into her ear, smirking at her.

"Hmm you and me both." She smirked back, her tummy doing a huge backflip.

"Shuck.. WICKED better not have cameras in those cells!" She muttered, going red.

Minho flashed a roguish smike at her.

She slipped the shirt over her head, and looked around.

"So..what now?" She asked.

She was so busy with Newt she didn't pay attention to anything else. But now, she realized they were flying. There was a knock, everyone looked over.

"Vince?" Alex asked shocked, she slowly stood. Her legs were a little wobbly.

"Hey, it's good to see you, too, Alex." He nodded. A tight smile on his face. "Just came to let everyone know, we're not done yet. We saw Thomas run inside the WICKED compound. And he's still inside."

"Right. Tes. Well, let's go get them." Alex said, like the matter was settled. She marched out of the room and passed Vince with a nod.

"Hell yeah!" Brenda called behind her. She marched over to the cockpit of the Berg.

"Papi!" Alex squealed.

She bounded over and hugged him from behind, and over his shoulder. He reached an arm back and patted her, "Mi Hija! You're back safe!"

"What am I? Chopped liver?" Finn pouted.

She smiled and kissed the top of his head. "Finn. Your my bacon in life. Of course I'm glad to see you here Sade and sound, sizzling in life! Thanks for reducing us!" She gave him a hug from behind too, and kissed the top of his head, knowing it made him blush.

"And Papi, I am alive....I think. But that dumbass is going to be the death of me. He went into WICKED. He went after Tes."

"You would have done the same thing had Newt not been in critical condition." He said.

"Touche." Alex nodded.

Minho, Sonya, Brenda, Kenzie, Fry, Harriet, Aris, Gally, Vince and Captain Ronin all crowded behind Jorge and Finn while they flew closer to a burning WICKED building. Alex noticed Felix looked quite pale and a tight worried expression on his usually laid back face.
