Newt POV
"How far are the tunnels?" Tommy asked as he set me down for a break.
I panted, my lungs couldn't seem to get enough air.
"Maybe twelve blocks from here," Gally answered.
"We can make it," Tommy said, he sounded uncertain.
Minho knelt down next to me. "Newt, how are you feeling?"
I groaned and shifted, my whole body ached. I saw no point in lying. "Terrible. It's good to see you though."
Minho nodded and went to talk to Tommy. I could see distant flashes of light where Y/n was fighting the Phoenix. Lillian sat down next to me, she figured out what was wrong with me shortly after Y/n went off to fight the Phoenix again.
"Are you and my sister still together?" she asked.
"We broke up months ago but we got back together today." I managed a smile.
"Hey, Newt," Tommy said, looking down at me."Come on, bud. We gotta get you up."
I took his hand and Minho also helped me up. I stumbled, the ground swaying beneath me.
"You okay?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah," I answered.
"Why are you helping us, Gally?" Minho asked suddenly. "Y/n put a knife in your heart."
"Yeah, nobody's perfect, man," Gally shrugged.
An explosion ripped through the air. Shattering some windows. We turned to look, a massive fireball rose from the city gate.
"We're supposed to take down Wicked, not the whole damn city," Gally said faintly, staring in horror.
"Gally, come on," Tommy said and we started limping through the city.
A couple moments later, Tommy saw something and helped me down against a concrete block.
"Stay low," he hissed at the others.
Lillian peeked to see what was happening.
"Wicked, they've blocked the street," she explained to me.
"What are they waiting for?" Minho murmured.
Something slammed into a nearby building. It exploded, spilling fire everywhere. People started yelling and I caught a glimpse of a mob headed towards Wicked. More explosions followed.
"We gotta go," Tommy said and hauled me up.
Minho took my other side. They carried me through the now burning streets. Lightning flashed in the dark sky above. Fire swirled above buildings. They carried me a bit longer before they set me down against an alley wall. Thomas pulled out the radio.
Y/n POV
The Wraith had begun laughing in my head. The noise almost drowned out everything else. Almost. Hot wind tore at my clothes and hair, burning my face. It would only exhaust me further to try and cool it. The Phoenix launched another fireball, I dodged it.
"Brenda, are you there?" Thomas asked over the radio.
"Thomas, I'm here," Brenda answered immediately.
"We're not gonna make it," Thomas said despairingly.
Panic gripped my heart. I refused to lose anyone tonight.
