B13 The Peacekeeper

|6| - The Radio Escape

|THIRD POV|

YN's cheek twitched as she looked in the mirror, the black WICKED uniform feeling dirty on her skin. Like it was burning her. Her eyes scanned over the mask, running her gloved thumb over the hard surface.

"I feel like I'm betraying everyone by even wearing this," Lucy muttered, frowning down at the uniform she was wearing.

Peter scoffed and finished tying his boots before standing up straight. "I feel like I'm going to burn these when we're done with this mission. How long do we have to stay in there?"

"Not long Peter, just today I think. All we need to do is find out where they are keeping everyone, either it is in a computer or a hard drive, we just need to find it." YN sighs, lifting to place the mask on her head.

/THE SCORCH\

"Newt, we have to leave. Now." Thomas said, his eyes wide and demanding. "This place is WICKED, and we need to leave!"

"But what about Emmy? She's not imm-"

"She is! Ratman lied! We heard him! Emmy is immune, and we need to go!"

Newt stared at Thomas, casting a glance at the sleeping girl. Slowly he nodded, walking over to Emmy. "Alright, but you better not be wrong."

Thomas nodded, and Newt began to wake Emmy.

"Come on Darling, we have to go. We're not safe here."

"Newt?" Thomas paused as Newt looked over his shoulder at him.

Newt stood up frowning, waiting for Thomas to say something. Emmy stared up at her uncle, holding Newt's hand.

"We heard something else-"

"As much as we would love to know Thomas, we should probably get out of here before, you know. WICKED comes in here and kills all of us!" Minho interrupted sticking his head out of the vent.

Thomas glanced at him before looking back at Newt, nodding his head. "Okay, we'll talk about it later. Let's go."

\THE LAST CITY/

YN marched in front of Peter and Lucy, wearing the WICKED uniform as they walked along the walls of WICKED. The taser gun heavy in her hands, the small pulsing on her left wrist sending and aching through her arm.

The radio crackled in her ear, channeling through the stations. Her eyes glancing over the few passing guards. Her fingers twitching beside the trigger as the guards pass without a second glance.

YN looked over her shoulder, signaling to split up. Lucy nodded and continued to walk the wall. Peter and YN stopped, turning to go down the stairs leading to where they would reach the floor of the city. Peter's eyes darted around nervously as the room they entered was filled with more and more guards. Some without masks, some eating and joking around. YN mentally groaned as she realized they had reached the area where guards stayed.

YN brushed past a group of guards, walking towards the elevator.

"Hey, watch it, newbie." 

YN rolled her eyes, pressing the button in the elevator as Peter walked in behind her. As the doors closed, YN glared at the man that had bumped into her. And very subtly she flipped him off before the doors closed fully.

"We only have to go through this once, right?" Peter asked as he relaxed against the back of the elevator.

"Just when we're coming back, Pete. After that, we don't have to do this again." YN promised, glancing over at him.
