Chapter 1-

Hey guys! So this is my second fanfiction and—as won by vote—it is an OC story! So I decided on doing an AU story instead of a normal one because I didn't want my story to take place in the Glade, the Scorch or TDC so…I did a story that I had heard many times except with a character that I have never seen used—Minho!

It has come to my attention that Minho hasn't received much love lately. Sure, Minho has been in Fanfiction about ThomasxMinho, NewtxMinho and BrendaxMinho but I haven't seen very many stories that have been from Minho's POV. So I decided to do one!

There will be quite a few OCs in this story but only one main relationship (possibly romantic, mainly family)

Hope you all like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own TMR but I do own my OC and I'd like to think that I own this specific story idea—with Minho—I mean.

Paradise

Thomas looked at Minho with sad eyes, "Minho, I didn't know what to say I—"

"How could you do that!?" Minho demanded angrily, "He could have made it! WICKED could have made a cure! Newt could've been shucking fine!"

"Minho, he told me to! I didn't want to! You think I wanted to do that?!" Thomas demanded.

"I think that you could've at least told me! You should've told me the moment we got to Paradise! Not 3 weeks later!" Minho shouted, throwing his arms into the air angrily.

Thomas was obviously trying not to cry, Minho was his best friend and there was no way he would survive without Newt and Minho, "I was going to, but I knew you would be mad so I—"

"MAD!?" Minho demanded, "You knew I would be mad!? I shucking hate you right now Thomas!"

There was a long silence.

"I'm sorry…" Thomas muttered pathetically.

Minho glared at his friend.

Minho's eyes snapped open. Beep. He hadn't realized he had been sleeping. Beep. Had that talk been a dream? Beep. What had happened to Thomas? Beep. And what was that annoying beeping?! Beep. Minho took in his surroundings. Beep. He was lying in a hospital bed. Beep. An IV had been injected into his arm. Beep. The walls were white. Beep. There was white tile on the floor. Beep. No. Beep. Not WICKED. Beep. Beep. Never WICKED. Beep. Beep. He needed to get out. Beep. Beep. Beep. Minho struggled to get up off the bed but leather restraints held down his wrists and ankles. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. He thrashed violently, frantic to get the restraints off. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Suddenly someone ran into the room, "Hey, hey, calm down Minho, calm down!"

The figure was a teenage girl about the same age as him. She had short black hair that had been buzzed off on one side and brown eyes. He knew that face…where though…

"Where the shuck am I?!" Minho demanded, his voice feeling unusually raw, he yanked at the bindings.

"You're in the Scorch's Hospital," the girl explained. That voice…he knew that to…

"The Scorch?! What happened to Paradise?! Where's Thomas?! Who are you?!" Minho's words fell out in a waterfall of sentences, his throat felt like it was on fire and he couldn't figure out why.

The girl seemed confused, "Paradise was part of the test, it was the trigger to end the simulation, Thomas is in one of the other rooms." the girl smirked. Who is she!? How does he know her?!

Minho quickly swung his legs off the edge of the bed, glaring at the heart monitor, which had been the source of all of the beeping. Minho struggled to his feet, but he quickly stumbled sideways, "What the shuck…" he muttered, his legs feeling extremely weak.

The girl swung his arm over her shoulders and helped him up, "You should be more careful, you haven't used your legs for a good three months." She had an edge to her tone…where did he know that?

Minho's eyes widened in shock, "Three months!?"

The two entered the building's hallway. It was definitely a strong running hospital, doctors and surgeons and nurses walked swiftly throughout the halls. A few teens and some younger and older patients were in hospital rooms that lined the halls. Each door had a number and a letter and to Minho's surprise he found that his was A7. He kept his glance on it before continuing down the hall.

"Ya…don't you remember?" the girl questioned, "You took part in a huge experiment for WICKED to monitor brain activity and enhance medical research."

Minho halted in his steps, "WICKED? I work for WICKED?" he demanded.

"Well…ya…everyone who's not a Crank works for WICKED…" the girl explained calmly. Who the shuck is she?! Why can't he put his finger on it!?

"But they're evil! They put us in the shucking Maze and tried to kill us with Grievers! They killed Ben! And Alby! And Chuck! And Teresa!" Minho added the name more reluctantly, but his tone still overflowed with frustration.

The girl stared at him, "Umm…you're starting to worry me Minho…the Maze is what you, me, and all of the teens here called the basement because of its labyrinth like qualities…Grievers are what you and your guy friends called surgeons because of all of the needles and pointy objects they have. We didn't kill Ben, Ben died of lack of oxygen to his brain a few weeks ago...Alby died because of a surgery that took place while he was unconscious, Chuck woke up from his coma a couple months ago and he was returned back to his family with only minor damage…"

The girl paused, "And Teresa…Teresa was a simulated program designed to keep everything running. Once your group got close enough to Paradise she was shut down," Minho vaguely remembered Teresa's death, although his memories of the apparent 'simulation' were getting foggy.

He stared at her, astonished. The two continued down the hallway after a brief pause.

"Here this is Thomas's room…" the girl announced, gesturing towards a room that read A2.

Inside Thomas was having just about the same reaction as Minho had had, thrashing around and demanding answers. Once he caught sight of Minho he halted.

"Minho?" the confused teen questioned.

"Hey dude. Rough day," Minho sighed.

"Brenda?!" Thomas questioned, furrowing his eyebrows.

Oh. That's where he knew that face…

The girl smirked, "No. I'm Aspen. Aspen Crane. Brenda's older sister."

So, how'd I do? I'm really excited about this story and I hope you all love it! So, this definitely won't be one of those classic 'wakes up from a coma and everything's fine' stories, it's gonna be more of a 'wakes up from a coma and the world is jacked' kinda stories.

Let me know how you like Aspen, I personally love that name, and how you liked the twist of finding out that she was Brenda's sister!

Let me know how I did.

(PS. If you've read TMR and Divergent, did you know that Rosa Salazar—playing Brenda in TST—is also going to play Lynn in the new movie Insurgent?! Pretty crazy, right?)
