[ Pure panic wells up in his when Thomas starts manhandling him to get his sights on where his tattoo should be but he doesn't fight back, not even weakly. Thomas sounds as frustrated, confused and scared as he's beginning to feel.
Who the hell are you?
The question makes Newt's throat go dry, as dry as it had been in the Scorch. Finally, hands shoves Thomas's away not liking the accusation. ]
Who the hell am I? You're the one with the bloody new personality, new tattoo, new scars, new memories. [ He wants to raise his voice, match Thomas's aggression, but he doesn't, instead, his lowers, not into a threat but instead into something more placating. ] We met in the maze, you didn't like when I called you Greenie, you didn't like anyone callin' ya Greenie.
[ A pause. ]
We ran into the Scorch because we were followin' you. You said they were gonna hook us up to machines and drain us of our blood. For the cure. I remember those things - the cranks - they got Winston, how could I forget that, Tommy? I remember the lightning storm, and Minho getting struck. I remember finding you, we thought you were dead, I remember Jorge, Brenda.
I also remember the cure helping her. Tommy she was gonna die, she got bit, then later she was up and running around. You gave blood to save her. So the whole "no cure" klunk you're talking about is just that - klunk.
[ His hand raises again, this time not to shove Thomas away, but to rest his arm on his shoulder an attempt at grounding at least one of them, though he isn't sure which one of them. ]
Let me clean that and patch it up, then you can keep accusing me.
