The Nexus Point CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
MCKENNA I walked into the room, finding Maxine sitting on the couch, looking calm and collected. I had been tasked with informing her of the final testing she would have to undergo before being cleared as a member of Vortex."Maxine, I'm here to discuss the final stage of your testing," I said, taking a seat across from her.She looked up at me, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What's the test?"I smiled, impressed by her eagerness. "It's a simulation exercise, designed to push your skills and abilities to the limit. But I have to warn you, it won't be easy."Maxine nodded, a determined look on her face. "I'm ready. I want to end this testing and prove myself as a valuable member of Vortex."I was taken aback by her response. Most recruits would be hesitant, even fearful, of the final test. But not Maxine. She was eager to prove herself, to show that she was worthy of being part of our team.As I looked at her, I realized that she had no idea what was truly going on. She didn't know

MAXINE I stood tall, my heart racing with excitement as I faced the entire Vortex team. McKenna, with a warm smile, stepped forward and began the initiation ceremony."Maxine, from this day forward, you are a full-fledged member of Vortex. You have proven yourself to be a valuable asset to our team, and we are honored to have you by our side."The room erupted in applause as McKenna handed me a sleek, silver badge with the Vortex logo emblazoned on it. I took it, feeling a surge of pride and belonging.Klaus, standing off to the side, caught my eye. He was beaming with pride, and I could sense a hint of relief emanating from him. I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards him for believing in me.McKenna continued, "As a member of Vortex, you will be part of an elite team that takes on the toughest missions. You will be working closely with Phoenix-4, our top-tier operatives, to take down threats and protect the innocent."I felt a thrill run through me as I glanced at the Phoeni

MAXINE I walked into the room, looking for Klaus. I needed to talk to him about something very important or at least it was very important to me. When I found him, I took a deep breath and approached him."Klaus, can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked, trying to sound casual.He looked up at me, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What is it, Max?"I hesitated, feeling a little nervous because I knew how difficult Klaus could be. "I was wondering if I could see Shane before I leave..... Before we leave" I said, trying to sound nonchalant.Klaus's expression changed in an instant. His eyes flashed with anger, and his jaw clenched. "No," he said, without any form of hesitation his voice cold and harsh as if he didn't even want to consider my offer in the slightest bit. I felt a sting of hurt and confusion. "What's wrong? why can't I see him? It wouldn't be long and I'll be quick, or is there something else? some other reason?" I asked, trying to understand why Klaus was reacting this way.

NIKLAUS I sat in my office, staring out the window as I thought about Max's offer in seeing Shane. I had been so quick to reject her, but now that I had some time to think, I realized that I had been acting out of jealousy. Pure and simple. The crazy part is I Know a huge part of me is indebted to Shane but that same part also hates him for some reason.Am I jealous of his relationship with Max? Yes.Was that the major reason for my rejection? Also yes.Would I ever admit that?Hell No.But as I thought about it more, I realized that I am a hundred percent sure that Max was in love with Shane. And I was just as sure that Shane felt the same way about her. They had a connection that was palpable, and I couldn't deny it any longer.He went against everything he knew and stood for to protect her, maybe she was better off with him as well.I sighed, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders. I had been standing in their way for too long, and it was time to let them be happy.I picked up

NIKLAUS I stood next to Max, my eyes fixed on the door as we waited for Shane to arrive. The silence between us was palpable, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.I turned to Max, my voice low. "Hey, can I ask you something?" I said, trying to sound casual.Max looked at me, her eyes curious. "What is it?" she asked.I hesitated, unsure of how to phrase my question. "Do you...have feelings for Shane?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant.Max's expression changed, her eyes darting away from mine. "I...care about him, Klaus," she said, her voice vague.I felt a pang of disappointment, but I pressed on. "Care about him? What does that mean?" I asked, trying to get a clearer answer.But Max just shrugged, her eyes still avoiding mine. "It means I care about him, Klaus. Let's just leave it at that."I sighed, feeling frustrated. I didn't know what to make of Max's vague replies. Did she have feelings for Shane, or didn't she?Before I could ask any more questions, the door open

ELEANOR I sat at the small wooden table, my eyes fixed on Shane as he walked into the room. He had a look of determination on his face, but as he caught my eye, a small smile played on his lips."What is it?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.Shane took a deep breath before speaking. "I met with Max," he said, his voice low.My heart skipped a beat as I felt a rush of excitement. "Is she okay?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Shane nodded, a smile spreading across his face. "She's okay, Eleanor. She's safe."I felt a wave of relief wash over me, and I couldn't help but let out a sob of joy. I had been so worried about Max, and to know that she was okay was all that mattered.Shane's expression turned serious, and he reached out to take my hand. "But we can't let our guard down, Eleanor," he said, his voice firm. "We need to keep up our work here if we're going to fully help Max. We can't let Arlo win by getting her back. She seems stronger more resolute, she's doing very well."

CORAI sat at my desk, sipping my coffee and going over the day's schedule. But as the morning wore on, I began to feel a sense of unease. Henry was nowhere to be found and it was unusual for him to absent.At first, I thought maybe he was just running late. But as the hours ticked by and there was still no sign of him, I started to get worried. This wasn't like Henry. He was always punctual and responsible.I tried to push the thought aside and focus on my work, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. I decided to ask around and see if anyone had heard from him.I walked over to the reception desk and asked the receptionist if she had seen Henry. She shook her head, "No, I haven't seen him all day. He didn't even call in to say he was going to be late."I frowned, feeling a sense of concern. I asked a few of the other employees if they had seen Henry, but no one had. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.I couldn't help but wonder if I had been too harsh on him

HENRY It was hours into the night and I suddenly felt the warmth of someone beside me. I slowly opened my eyes, my head pounding with a dull ache. I was met with a blurry vision of Cora's concerned face beside me.She was the last person I thought would be here, she looked drop dead beautiful in the den of the night. My mind raced back to our conversations earlier and I felt her sympathy and love for the first time since I met her. She listened to me rant, talk and air out my problems to her without her saying a word, she was perfect in everything and it's like I fell for her yet again shamelessly.I was still tipsy when we had that conversation but I was thinking clearly after the rest I had from drinking all day. "Hey, how are you feeling?" she asked softly.I groggily sat up, rubbing my temples. "I...I don't know," I admitted. "What happened? Did I do anything crazy?"Cora's expression turned sympathetic. "You got drunk and passed out, you spoke about a lot of things which is n

ALICE I stood alongside River, watching as Cora's daughter, Elle played in the park below us. She was a sweet girl, with a contagious laugh and a mop of curly brown hair. River and I had been keeping an eye on her for weeks now, making sure she was safe and happy. It was a big responsibility, but we were both committed to making sure she was protected. As we watched, the little girl climbed to the top of the jungle gym and slid down, squealing with delight. River and I exchanged a smile, and I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. Just then, River turned to me and asked, "Hey, have you heard from Max lately?" I thought for a moment before responding. Max had been through a lot in the past few months, and she was still dealing with the aftermath of everything that had happened. "She's doing okay, I think," I said finally. "She's still processing everything, but she's getting there. She's been spending a lot of time with Klaus, and that seems to be helping her." River nodde

NIKLAUS I arrived at the scene, my heart racing with anticipation. But as I entered the room, I was met with a sight that made my blood run cold. My mother's body lay on the ground, her eyes frozen in a permanent stare.I felt a wave of grief wash over me, but I pushed it aside. I had to focus on the task at hand. Henry was nowhere to be seen, but I knew he was safe. He had fled the scene, and I couldn't blame him.But my attention was focused on Arlo. He was standing in the corner, his eyes wide with fear. He knew he was beaten, and he knew he was at my mercy.I walked towards him, my powers coursing through my veins. I could feel the energy building up inside me, and I knew I could take Arlo down with a single touch.But I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to stain my hands with Arlo's blood. I wanted him to suffer, but I wanted him to suffer in a different way.I stopped in front of Arlo, my eyes locked on his. "You're a coward, Arlo," I spat. "You're a coward who uses others
The Nexus Point CHAPTER HUNDRED-TWENTY SIX
MCKENNA I walked into the rooftop, my eyes adjusting slowly to the faint light. Arlo was sitting in a chair, a smug look on his face while Henry was tied up by the side, beaten to a pulp and barely alive."Welcome, McKenna," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. "I've been waiting for you. You see, I've been playing a little game with all of you. A game of cat and mouse, where I've been pulling the strings all along."He leaned forward, his eyes glinting with excitement. "You see, the Nexus Point project was just not a cover, it was a way to distract everyone from my real plan. And my real plan was to create a new world order, with me at the helm."I felt a surge of anger and disgust, but I kept my cool, listening intently to Arlo's words."The citizens of this city have been so foolish," he continued, his voice dripping with contempt. "They've been so blind to what's been going on right under their noses. They think they're free, but they're not. They're just pawns in my g

ARLOI waited patiently and yet all I got was one bad news to another from everyone, Cora let Alice go because of how unprepared she was for an attack and Henry just killed his own father out of his foolishness leaving Vortex still a step ahead of us yet again.I stood in front of Henry and Cora, my eyes blazing with anger and disappointment. "You fools," I spat, my voice venomous. "You've let your emotions cloud your judgment, and now you've lost everything."Henry and Cora exchanged a nervous glance, and I could see the fear lurking behind their eyes. They knew they had messed up, and they knew I was not happy."You were supposed to keep Alice captive at least, Cora," I growled, my eyes narrowing at her. "You were supposed to use her as leverage to get what we want. But instead, you let her escape. And you, Henry, you were supposed to take care of Max, but instead, you let her get the better of you."Henry's face reddened with anger, but I cut him off before he could speak. "No, Hen

MAXINE I walked into the room, my mind racing with thoughts of Henry and our father. McKenna and Klaus looked up at me, concern etched on their faces. "What is it, Max?" McKenna asked, her voice soft. I took a deep breath, trying to process everything that had happened. "Henry's taken my father hostage, by father not Arlo, definitely not him," I said, my voice firm. "He wants me to meet him at the location he just sent to me." Klaus's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger. "We'll go with you," he said, his voice low. "We'll get your father back, and we'll take care of Henry once and for all." But I shook my head, my mind made up. "No, I have to go alone," I said, my voice firm. "Henry's unpredictable, and if he sees any of you, he'll hurt my father. I have to go alone, and try to reason with him." McKenna's eyes were filled with concern, but she nodded slowly. "Okay, Max. But be careful. We'll be waiting for you, and if anything goes wrong, we'll be there in an instant." I

HENRY I stood outside my father's house, my heart racing with anticipation. I had been planning this moment for a long time, and I was determined to see it through. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come. I had to be strong, had to be resolute. I couldn't let my emotions get the better of me. I walked into the house, my eyes scanning the familiar rooms. My father was sitting in his favorite armchair, a look of surprise on his face as he saw me. "Henry," he said, his voice cautious. "What are you doing here?" I took a deep breath, my words tumbling out in a rush. "Father, I'm sorry....For the neglect all this while, but there's something important I need to tell you." My father's expression softened, a look of surprise and gratitude on his face. "Henry, I... I forgive you. I love you, son." I felt a pang of guilt, knowing what I was about to do. But I pushed it aside, focusing on my goal. "Thank you, Father," I said, my voice firm. "But I'm afraid I'm not h

ALICE After the heads up from River the entirety of Vortex was in chaos. While River led the other few set of Vortex resistant out to the new hideout, I and some others were still left trying to clear up everything else. Suddenly a loud bang, followed by the breaking in of Synod agents accompanied by Arlo himself. I cowered in the corner, my eyes fixed on the chaos unfolding before me. Arlo had arrived, flanked by Cora and a team of Synod agents. They were destroying everything, tearing apart the Vortex hideout that had been my home for so long. As I watched, Arlo's eyes scanned the room, his gaze lingering on each face before moving on. And then, his eyes met mine. For a moment, we just stared at each other. I expected him to react, to show some sign of recognition or emotion. But instead, he just kept looking at me, his expression blank. It was as if he didn't even see me. I felt a surge of confusion and fear. Why was he ignoring me? Unless I was not useful to him. But befo

SHANEI watched Max from across the room, my eyes narrowed with concern. She had been acting strange lately, spending more and more time with Synod and Arlo. I didn't trust them, and I didn't trust Max's judgment when it came to them.As I approached her, Max turned to me with a bright smile. But I could see the tension in her eyes, the way she seemed to be hiding something."Hey, Shane," she said, her voice light. "What's up?"I hesitated, unsure of how to broach the subject. "Max, I've been noticing that you've been spending a lot of time with Synod lately. I'm worried about you."Max's smile faltered for a moment, but then she laughed. "Shane, I'm fine. I'm just trying to help them with their research. That's all. If I don't sell it I'll seem suspicious."I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "Research is fine, selling out your perfect role is fine but Max, I know you're not telling me the full truth. What's going on?"Max's expression changed, her eyes flashing with a mixture of sadness

MAXINE I stood in front of Arlo, my eyes locked on his. We were in a secure location, one that I had chosen specifically for this meeting. "Arlo, I've been thinking," I said, my voice firm. "I'm willing to provide you with everything you want. The Nexus Point project, the research, the technology... it's all yours." Arlo's eyes narrowed, his expression skeptical. "What do you want in return, Max?" I smiled, a cold, calculated smile. "I want Henry. I want him brought to justice for what he's done. And I want you to make sure that he pays for his crimes by my hand." Arlo's expression changed, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. "You're willing to give me everything I want, just to get revenge on Henry?" I nodded, my eyes never leaving his. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm willing to do. I want Henry to pay for what he's done, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen." Arlo's smile was slow and calculating. "I think we can come to an agreement, Max. I'll give
