Chapter Text
BACKSTORY:
One year ago, Bruce Wayne assigned Tim Drake to investigate WCKD—an off-grid, black-ops biotech organization tied to several illegal contracts and underground human experimentation.
Tim went in deep.
Too deep.
WCKD discovered his identity. Before he could escape, they wiped his memory, rewriting it entirely with a fabricated history:
A world ravaged by the Flare.
An organization built to find a cure.
And a boy named Thomas—who had never been Tim.
⸻
For months, “Thomas” worked for WCKD.
He sent friends into the Maze. He monitored test data. He followed orders.
Until he couldn’t anymore.
The guilt broke through the programming. He betrayed WCKD, sending coordinates to what he believed was the Right Arm.
It was another trick.
WCKD had planned it all—just another phase.
So they threw him into the Maze.
⸻
But they hadn’t counted on who he really was.
They didn’t realize Thomas was Tim Drake.
One of the smartest minds in the world.
He solved the Maze faster than expected. Escaped with the Gladers.
WCKD scrambled. Chaos in the labs.
A few scientists broke programming. One escaped with her memories intact.
⸻
The Scorch Trials and the Death Cure unfolded like canon… or so it seemed.
At last, the Gladers reached the Safe Haven.
But it was a lie.
Another stage.
Another trick.
And that’s when everything truly fell apart.
