LENAI crept through the dimly lit corridor, Eric by my side. We'd been tasked with getting to the general surveillance room and installing a device that would give River and EVE access to the Synod's security system.As we approached the room, I could feel the familiar buzz of the security men's thoughts. They were bored, tired, and completely unaware of our presence.I focused my mind, reaching out to the guards with a gentle, persuasive touch. "You're tired," I whispered, my voice echoing in their minds. "You need to rest. Just take a little nap, and everything will be fine."The guards' thoughts began to slow, their minds growing cloudy and disoriented. Eric and I exchanged a quick glance, and then we moved swiftly, with a quick move taking out the guards with silent efficiency, trying our best to remain quiet.Eric had always been faster, more resilient but Jax was impatient and liked to play hero, one thing we all had in common, we wanted a different world. one filled with peace

NIKLAUS As I held Max, I expected her to look relieved and happy to see someone coming to rescue her, I was damn wrong. But instead, she resisted, pushing me away with a look of confusion and fear."Who are you?!" she yelled, her voice shaking with a show of energy I didn't think she still had, tugging and forcing her way out of my hand.I didn't have time to explain, not with the alarms blaring and the agents closing in. "I'm here to help you, Max!" I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "We have to get out of here, now!" I tried calming her down a loud shriek from her followed as a surge of energy crossed through her screams launching me to the other side of the room even breaking the glass slide doors. She was powerful and extremely stubborn, I should have never taken off her collar. I had prepared for something like this. I had a smaller one for her feet and I was definitely going to use it. Before I could collect myself she was already gone, running her way through the hallway

HENRY I stood outside the superintendent's office, my heart sinking with a sense of foreboding. My team stood beside me, their faces somber as this is the second time a subject under our care had escaped and I felt utterly useless because I was not around to stop the infiltration."Ah, Henry," the superintendent's voice called out, his tone stern. "Come in."We filed into the office, taking our seats in front of the superintendent's desk. He looked at us over the rim of his reading glasses, his expression unyielding."I'm sure you're all aware of the recent... incidents, it is so recent it happened yesterday" he began, his voice dripping with disdain and irritation. "The escape of Maxine Wilson, the infiltration by Vortex... it's a disaster. We failed New Eden and to think we had things under control?"I felt a surge of defensiveness, but I bit it back. We had failed, and we knew it."What happened, Henry?" the superintendent demanded, his eyes boring into mine. "How did this happen

ARLOI stood in front of the camera, my expression grave and concerned. Behind me, the cityscape of New Eden gleamed in the sunlight, a stark contrast to the darkness I was about to unleash."Ladies and gentlemen of New Eden," I began, my voice somber. "I come to you today with a grave announcement. Maxine Wilson, the young woman with extraordinary abilities beyond an NX-5, has escaped from our facility."I paused, letting the weight of my words sink in."But this is not just a simple escape," I continued, my voice dripping with concern. "Maxine has used her powers to break free, and we have reason to believe that she was aided in her escape by rogue elements from Vortex the resistance group. They are brainwashing people to think we are posing a threat to them when that is not the case. I have footage of Maxine using her powers" I notioned for the clip of Maxine to play and it began to display behind me and I gave way for the video to be shown. I shook my head, my expression sorrowfu

MAXINE My head didn't hurt for the first time since the party, I felt somewhat comfortable as I yawned myself awake. I took a quick survey of the room they placed me in, the walls, floor, and ceiling are all made of a sleek, silver metal that seems to glow with a soft, ethereal light.As I sit up, I notice that the bed I'm on is actually a pod, complete with a transparent lid and a complex system of wires and tubes that seem to be monitoring my vital signs. The pod is surrounded by a series of holographic displays that flicker and dance with intricate patterns of light and color.The room itself is small, with a low ceiling that makes me feel a little claustrophobic. But despite the cramped quarters, the space is surprisingly luxurious, with a plush, white carpet that feels like silk beneath my feet. The air is cool and clean, with a faint scent of ozone that makes me feel like I'm breathing in the future.As I look around, I notice a series of strange, glowing orbs that seem to be e

MAXINE I wandered through the corridors, my eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. I had been here for a day now, but I still couldn't shake off the feeling of unease after McKenna's explanation. Everywhere I looked, I saw strangers, people who seemed to know more about me than I knew about myself.As I turned a corner, I stumbled into a tall, imposing figure. His eyes locked onto mine, and I felt a jolt of electricity run through my body. It was the man who had rescued me from Synod."Well, well, well," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look what we have here. The little bird who's finally awake."I narrowed my eyes, my anger simmering just below the surface. "And look what we have here," I retorted, my voice laced with venom. "The arrogant jerk who thinks he's a hero, you know a lot of things could have been avoided if you had told me who you were."Klaus chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "And yet you seemingly saw the need to throw to the other side of the r

MAXINE It had been a couple more days since I got here and a sense of inclusivity was settling in. I was sitting in the common room, trying to make sense of the stack of books and documents that McKenna had given me to study. My mind was reeling with all the new information, and I was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.Just as I was about to give up, a bright and bubbly voice interrupted my thoughts."Hi! Mind if I join you?"I looked up to see a girl with curly brown hair and a warm, friendly smile. She was carrying a large stack of books and looked like she was about to topple over."Uh, no, not at all," I said, trying to hide my surprise.The girl plopped down beside me, sending books tumbling everywhere. "I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, laughing. "I'm such a clumsy oaf sometimes."I couldn't help but laugh at her infectious enthusiasm. "It's okay, I'm Maxine," I said, holding out my hand."Alice!" she replied, shaking my hand vigorously. "It's so nice to meet you, Maxine! I've hea

MAXINE I let out a sigh of relief as I sat on the hospital bed, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over me. I had just finished a series of tests, and to my surprise, they hadn't hurt at all. I was expecting some discomfort, but it seemed that my body was more resilient than I thought and Synod were just pure evil.Just as I was starting to relax, McKenna and Klaus walked into the room, carrying a stack of files and looking like they meant business. "Maxine, we have your test results," McKenna said, a hint of a smile on her face.I nodded, feeling a sense of curiosity. What did the tests show? Was everything okay?Klaus began to rattle off a list of tests they had run, including my MRI scan, technical tests, energy tests, and blood tests. I listened intently, trying to make sense of it all.But as Klaus continued to speak, I started to feel a sense of confusion. "Your results are...interesting," he said, pausing for a moment. "They're all above normal. In fact, they're too high t

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

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
The Nexus Point CHAPTER HUNDRED-TWENTY FIVE
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
The Nexus Point CHAPTER HUNDRED-TWENTY
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
