***Contains mature subject matter... Viewer discretion is advised- REALLY spicy kissy scene- no actual seezzy scene- but implied***

Alex was finished with training and finally standing in the showers, rinsing off the soap and conditioner from her hair. She was still really ticked off, she saw Minho get up and bolt out the door. He didn't say bye or anything. Just ran out the door like he was on fire.

She heard the womans locker room doors open and close. She stood for a few more minutes in the water. Sighing she turned the water off, figuring she was here long enough. She dried off, wrapped her long hair up in a towel and opened the curtain stepped out into the change room, humming a tune from her childhood. 

She had just finished brushing her hair and drying it a bit, so it wasn't dripping, when she looked back up into the mirror and just about had a heart attack. Standing, leaning against the back wall, his arms and ankles crossed, with a cocky smirk, was Minho. 

"The shuck Min, you gave me a heart attack!" Alex gasped, as she spun around. 

Minho pushed off the wall and slowly sauntered over, as he got closer, Alex realized that his hair was damp, and he had changed clothes. 

"What are you doing in the girls change room? And why'd you bolt off to earlier?" Alex asked, raising a challenging eyebrow and crossing her arms over the towel she had wrapped around herself. 

"Both those can be answered by the same...you." He said, he had stopped in front of her, toe to toe. 

"Me?" She repeated. 

Minho hummed. "You." He whispered. 

His minty breath fanned her face. She didn't say anything, waiting for an explanation. She was very aware she wasn't wearing anything but a towel wrapped around her. She could feel heat rising in her chest, and up into her face, but she was captivated by his eyes. His rich brown eyes usually sparkled and held a hint of mischief in them, but right now they were a deep dark brown colour, there was a hunger in them. It made her heart beat faster, and her chest heave. 

"Shuck it Alex...your hot. I couldn't watch much more or...I'd do something I'd regret...but now, with no one else around.."

Minho's voice had dropped into a gravelly husky tone that made Alex's knees weak, and her stomach back flip. 

"What would you have regrated?" She asked, her voice hardly above a whisper, her arms uncrossed and she slowly placed them on his abs and slid them up his chest. Alex could feel his wild heart beat, it matched her own. 

"Having too many eyes." 

He leaned down and kissed her neck. Alex shuddered. He did it again, kissing up and down her neck. 

"Oh shuck, Min."

Her whisper turned into a small moan. That's all he needed. He grabbed her by the hips, squeezing tight, pulling her close, while his lips met hers. He kissed her hard. Alex allowed his tounge into her mouth, with a soft moan. She could her him growl in the back of his throat. His hands slid from her hips, to her lower back and down, he grabbed her but and lifted her up. His fingers brushed the exposed skin on her thighs, sending electricity through her. She instantly wrapped her legs around him. Without breaking their kiss he walked to a wall pressing up against her,  pressing her into the cold locker room wall.

Alex ripped his shirt off and tossed it to the ground. Minho pulled away just enough to look her in the eye, concern in them.

"You okay with this?" He panted.

"Shut up and kiss me, shuck face." Alex was also breathing hard.

"You got it Sunshine."

He attacked her lips like it was the last thing he would ever do. His hands were all over her; in her hair, down her neck, all over her back and front. Alex's hands explored everywhere, too. He was rough but gentle at the same time, passionate and timid all at the same time. He made her feel things she didn't think we're possible. She didn't want it to stop.

_____________________

Minho had left a few minutes ago, sneaking out and down the hall away from the gym. They still had to keep this relationship a secret, especially with a Rat sniffing around.

Alex was just about to leave the locker room when she heard an argument right outside the door. Alex silently leaned forwards, trying to hear.

"Janson, that's the Woman's locker room." A deep voice rumbled.

"I can clearly read." A weasly voice replied.

"Then you should be going into the door on the opposite wall, that says Men's." Captain Ronin's voice rumbled through the door.

"Captain, I am the Director. I am looking for Alexandria. And I was told she was at the gym. Clearly no one is in the gym, she must be inside."

"As head of security I cannot let you  inside the Woman's change room, Sir. Think of how that would look to the rest of the staff, sir. I'm sure you are a busy man, I'll wait here for her and I'll direct her to your office when she is done showering and changing."

Ronin's voice was even, but Alex could detect the sharpness to it. But Alex could hear the disdain in his voice. She knew Captain didn't like Janson, he had his reasons, and now she understood, it was probably on Janson's orders Ronin's family was killed. 

"Yes. Thank you Captain, that would be helpful." Janson's naisly voice responded.

Alex could hear footsteps and then a door close. Alex leaned against the wall, closed her eyes for a second, trying to calm her raising heart. First it was racing because of Minho, and now it was racing because Janson was willing to stroll into the woman's bathroom, looking for her?

What the shuck was going on? The only thing she could think of was he knew about Minho and her. They had been carful, up until today, just now. If anyone had walked in, they would definitely know. Maybe someone walking outside heard, and ran to tatel on them? She had bitten Minho's shoulder, not hard, but she had bit him to stay quiet. And he had groaned into their kiss to keep himself quiet.

Alex took a big breath, shook her head, hoisted her gym bag and opened the bathroom door.

"What the shuck was that about?" Alex demanded. Captain was standing stiff, his back to the door.

He looked over his shoulder at her, his eyes narrowed. Alex raised an eyebrow at him and crossed her arms over her chest.

"You tell me." A muscle in his jaw clenched.

"I got no clue! I had boring class this morning, did all my assignments, Ava was pleased. Had lunch, came here, beat up Felix..did some more weapons with you, had a shower." Alex snarked.

Captain made a rumbling sound in his chest.

"That black haired misquote wasn't here was he?" Ronin narrowed his eyes and eyed her.

"No. You saw him leave the gym in a hurry, earlier." Alex huffed, she didn't break eye contact.

She always found it easy to lie. Not to Newt or Sonya, Tes or Minho. But to everyone else, lying was easy. She didn't even break a sweat when she lied to Captain. He eyed her again, scanning her with his eyes.

"Cap, would you like to check my bag, he's a pretty big guy, but he might fit in my bag. Or in my shirt. Think he could hide there? Maybe I shoved him in a locker to hide him" Alex asked, with a cheeky grin.

"All right fine. But I don't know what he wants. Be careful. Something is off."

"That. We can agree on." Alex nodded, apprehension growing.
__________________________

Alex sat in a cold metal chair, her back stiff, shoulders tense. Her eyes jumped around the room. It was cold and darker than everywhere else in the WICKED facility. A bare light bulb hung from the ceiling, there was a floor to ceiling mirror and a little red light up in the corner, indicating she was being watched. She sat right at the edge of the chair, her hands in fists in her lap.

And she waited. Waiting for what, she wasn't sure, and that made her more anxious. Finally the door behind her opened, Alex twisted around to see. She caught sight of Captain Ronin, he was waiting outside the door, standing stiff and at attention. Into the room waltzed Director Janson and Chancellor Ava Page, herself.

Alex knew she was in deep klunk if Ava Page was making an appearance in this room.

They sat down opposite her. Ava in a clean crisp white sute, her hair pulled back into a severe bun, her eyes cold and calculating, her bright red lips were pressed in a tight line. Janson however looked like a kid on Christmas. Ava opened a folder in front of her, and like she was bored already, ran a finger down the page.

"Subject A0.-" Ava started.

"Alex." She growled.

The Chancellor's dark eyes flicked to Alex, almost surprised to see her, and then narrowed. They flashed with anger.

"I will address you as Subject A0." Her voice was dangerous.

Alex stiffened even more, narrowing her eyes, her jaw was clenched so tight she was surprised her teeth were still intact.

"Subject A0, it has come to our attention, that you are in possession of a banned and illegal item. You know the rules of this facility. We will be confiscating it immidiatly and will not be returning to you."

Alex had no idea what they were talking about. She didn't have anything illegal! Her room was regularly searched, she had nothing of value, no personal possessions.

Janson sat up and laced his long fingers together, and with a twisted smile said, "the dog."

Alex felt her stomach drop. Bark.

How the shuck did they find out about her? No. They're taking her? Where? Will they kill her? No, not Bark!

Alex didn't move. She knew she couldn't give them the satisfaction, she knew what they wanted from her, and she wasn't going to give it. She wasn't going to bag and plead. They would still do whatever they wanted anyways, but they liked to watch as they broke you.

"You are in possession of an illegal personal item. It will be taken and you will never see the dog again." Janson said, enjoying this.

Alex didn't look at them, just stared straight ahead.

It was silent in the room for a moment, and then Janson slid the folder on the table towards himself. Ava sat quiet now, watching Alex with calculating eyes.

"Now, we know you have a biological brother, Subject A5-"

"His name is Newt." She hissed.

Janson continued like he didn't hear her, but she noticed he emphasized the word subject each time. "And a biological sister, Subject B2-"

"Her name is Sonya."

Alex was digging her nails into the palms of her hands, trying to keep herself together.

"Subject A5 has already been sent up to his maze, a month ago. Subject B2 is slotted to go in a few months, but we might find it useful to bump her time." He paused, watching for a reaction.

Alex's eyes flicked to his for a moment. And he smiled with satisfaction.

"Why are you telling me this?" Alex asked, desperately holding her anger and fear back.

"Oh, just letting you know, we don't want too much trouble around here, we like to keep things running smooth, with no issues. You understand, right, my dear?" Janson said in a sickly sweat voice.

Alex tried not to throw up on the table, "oh no, we wouldn't want that." Alex hissed.

"That's good to hear. Know why?"

Alex raised an eyebrow, but refused to speak.

"Because we wouldn't want anything happening to the people we care about; this includes brothers, sisters, friends...and especially boys we care about. This place runs on order and following the rules, if these are disrupted in anyway...well there are... consequences."

Alex couldn't help it, her head snapped in his direction. Janson's smile grew bigger.

"Ah. I thought as much."

Alex's body was so tense and stiff she was sure this was a better workout than her kickboxing with Felix. They just threatened everyone she loved. And she didn't even know why they were threatening them or with what, but she could imagine. How did Janson find out about Bark? Or Minho?

"You know the rules about relationships. We have told you. We are not going to tell you again. If we catch you, there will be...punishment of the most...sever." Janson said, his twisted smile was back.

Alex had to look away, dread filling her. She knew they were threatening torture. It seemed to be Janson's favorite form of punishment. She had been subject to his hand or years.

"That is all. Last warning Subject A0. We won't be as lenient if we catch you disrupting the order around here." The Chancellor said.

They both stood up and swept from the room. Leaving Alex feeling like she was drowning in ice water.

The door opened again.

"Alex. Come on." Captain Ronin said quietly.

Alex got up and somehow, she managed to make it to her room in the girls section of the building. She didn't remember how she got there but she was sitting on the edge of her bed. It felt like a nightmare.

There was a knock on the door and it opened. Sonya and Teresa came in. They took one look at how pale and sweaty she was, and her wide wild eyes. They both rushed over and sat down.

"What's wrong?" Sonya asked.

Alex's emotional damn finally broke. She burst into tears. She sobbed, Sonya and Teresa had no idea what happened, but they wrapped her up in a hug. Alex let all the emotions out. Just a few hours ago she was ontop of the world, wrapped in Minho's arms, feeling this she never felt before. And now everything she loved was being threatened. She didn't really care if they did thingd to her for her own actions, but they were threatening others to punish her.

Sonya was rubbing her back, and Alex got her self in control enough to explain the meeting with Ava Page and Janson.

"What will you do?" Teresa asked quietly.

Alex sniffed, "They pretty much threatened to torture or kill me... and him if we're caught!" She paused to sniff and swat at the tears on her face. "I don't know, they tried making Sonya and I forgot Newt...and now they won't even let other friendships happen! Deprive us of love, isn't that torture enough? Why is love such a bad thing? Why is family and friendship so horrible for them?"

All three girls just hugged each other. They sat quiet, holding each other. Until there was another knock. The girls jumped.

The door swung open revealing a handful of guards. Alex sprung from her bed, stepping forwards, in front of Sonya and Teresa.

A short squat guard with a face that looked like he ran into a wall a few times, looked her up and down, then glanced behind her.

"What do you want?" Alex snapped, still trying to block the other girls from view.

"I have orders, Subject A0." He sneered at her. "And just because your Captions favorite doesn't mean you can talk to me like that. Show some respect."

"I'll show you some when you earn it." Alex snapped.

She could hear Sonya snicker. The guard snarled at her. He lunged forward and grabbed a handful of her hair. And dragged her from her room. Another guard grabbed Sonya and hauled her out of the room. They left Teresa, but she followed to the doorway, her eyes wide. Alex twisted enough to see Teresa turn on her heel and run down the hall in the opposite direction.

The guards marched the twins down the hall, through the sliding door, down a few more halls. Alex knew which hall they were in now. And dread filled her.

"No! No! Sonya! No!" Alex yelled, panicking.

Sonya started to struggle now, she recognized the hall.

"Alex!" Sonya cried.

"No! Janson said not for a while yet! No! No! Please!" Alex cried fighting the guards that held her.

"Ah. Well, my Dear, I didn't think you quite learnt your lesson. So, maybe this will teach you." A weasly nasal voice said. Alex twisted and saw Janson standing in the door way to the operating room. The guards started to pull Sonya towards it.

"No! Alex! Alex! I love you!" Sonya cried, she had tears running down her face now.

Sonya was being sent into the Maze right now. Not on her regular scheduled time. Janson lied.

"Sonya! Sonya!" Alex screamed. "I love you!"

Sonya was pulled inside and the door sealed shut. Alex struggled against the guards holding her. With a yell and a surge of adrenaline she ripped free and threw herself at the door. She slammed her fists into it.

There was a sharp pinch in her neck and she slid down the wall, as her world went black she saw Janson standing over her with a twisted smug grin.
