Summary
Ash Tyler had never been a light sleeper. His mother used to joke about how he could have slept through a hurricane if he wanted to, but those days seem so absurdly far away now.

Summary
Set post-lightning storm in Scorch Trials.
Newt couldn’t sleep. The torrential rain outside sounded like a thousand hammers on anvils in his ears, yet they did nothing to quieten the whimpers coming from Minho, who was curled up on the floor by Thomas’ feet. He tried to deafen them out, ignore the weak sounds of pain coming from him, but if anything, the harder he tried, the louder it sounded.

Especially Enjolras.

Summary
Hydra was originally made in Japan.
It had been drilled into him from day one how dangerous his fuel was. Stories of leaks and failures plagued his mind for months; catastrophes such as the Fukushima meltdown and the Hindenburg explosion.
So when he was officially transferred to the UK, it was suffice to say he almost depressurised himself.

Hydra gets transferred to Wembley and gains a crush.

Summary
He staggers out to the yard, desolate at this time of night, and finds the emptiest, furthest corner they can. There's a wheezing from his pipes, desperation beginning to eat away at their insides, and they double over before they get as far away as they would have liked. He hacks, coughs and splutters, but what escapes his lips is not the trapped fuel or lubricant they expect.
It's vines. Leaves, big and green and spiralled. Flowers, delicate little red, yellow and pink things that he clocks as begonias, their petals stark against the floor like a bloodstain. There's ice in his fuel lines too, that settle inside of him uncomfortably; he can't tell if this is fear, disgust, or sadness, but the pit in his core that threatens to swallow him whole is saying nothing about this is right
~~
When Hydra gets too close to another train, he coughs up flowers. This would fine if each relationship didn’t threaten his life.

Summary
Months after the Troubador yard races, Hydra finds himself frustrated with his situation:
“I thought after racing with you and Rusty, maybe things would be different for myself and Hydrogen… Like other trains would wanna give it a try or I’d have more work.” He finally piped up. He’d done a few one off things with Momma since the races, but she was an older train and the weight of his tank was just too much for her. He couldn’t bring himself to put that kind of strain on her. “Everyone still wants to work with Porter, Lumber, and Slick. But no one seems interested in working with me. Well. Electra was but they and the components make me uncomfortable. They’re so weird! And Rusty has the coaches, especially Pearl-” Hydra’s mouth clamped shut and his eyes widened slightly. Thinking it had been one thing, but actually saying it out loud was another. He tried to recover but he knew Momma had caught what he just said.
And that she did. Her silent gaze on Hydra left him squirming as she decided how she wanted to proceed with that change in topic. “Oh Hydra..”

Summary
Unfortunately, the main drawback of being a volatile, experimental tanker is that everyone tends to be scared to touch you.
Four times where Hydra wasn’t allowed to be touched, and the one time where he was.
