Time (Newt X Reader Book 6)

- Silver Hand -

- NEWTS POV -
Minho had briefed me on what was happening. Atticus, Minho, Thomas and I were on our way to visit Ava to ask her for a new arm.
"So you think she'll do it?" I asked walking at the back with Thomas.
"I don't know. I think Ava likes greenie though I think she'll go for it" he replied stretching. His eyes were red and the bags under them made him look like a crank.
"Are we sure letting Minho talk is the best idea? You know how much he loves her and how angry he gets" I looked at the two men in front of us. They were both similarly built with big shoulders, the muscles moving under their shirts and very tall with black hair.
"I am here!" Minho barked twisting his head.
"Just try not to lose it in there ok?" I ask, well more like pleaded with him.
he didn't reply using his words he just grunted at me.

We walked along the corridors and I caught my reflection in the window. My hair was getting longer and my eyes had bags under them too from sitting up at night watching my wife waste away in bed. It was not an easy thing to do. I hated it...i wanted to snap my fingers and make her ok again but she couldn't be fixed up so easily this time. My body was nothing compared to the guys in front of me, I was on the fence between muscled and scrawny and I was leaning towards the scrawny side these days. I decided that when she was on her feet again I'd hit that nice gym before we burnt it down. Not that being scrawny was a bad thing but I felt inferior to Minho and when he was in love with my wife that wasn't a nice feeling.

Atticus knocked on the door and when it opened he gestured for Minho to speak. Here we go...
"Hi um can we come in we need to talk to you" he said calmly.
Wait for it...
Ava smiled and welcomed us in. We took seats around a coffee table. 
"What can I do for you?" She said.
"It's Y/N. She's not doing so good and we'll we were wondering if maybe you could give her a new arm?" Minho said politely.
Ava didn't speak for five minutes. We exchanged glances with each other when finally she said "I've already got one made. Although Newt should probably be asking me not you" she glanced over to me.
"Minho is better with words" I replied. She narrowed her eyebrows but nodded.
"We can't get the skin to work though...but we have a beautiful lightweight metal one made just for her. I feel terrible about what happened...i have been meaning to give it to her but she's always asleep" Ava genuinely looked sad...but not sad enough to make me feel bad about torching the place.
She stood and skipped over to a locked cabinet she took a key our of her pocket and opened it. She came back to the seat with a smooth wooden box and opened it.
"Shucking hell!!!" Minho exclaimed. In the box was a shiny silver hand. you couldn't see any of the wires but it was made perfectly...the arm was decorated with etched in vines and leaves. It was beautiful. The fingers were perfectly matched to Y/N's except metal.
"Maybe you could give it to her" Ava nudged the box towards me "maybe she'll listen to you"

Minho looked at me and smiled "come on Newt. Let's go give it.to her! She's getting the first ever robot arm!"
I couldn't help but laugh Minho went from a bulky man who could snap your head off to a child excited about robots.
"Ok" I nodded and picked up the box. We headed to my room to give her the arm.
