MCKENNA

I stood at the front of the meeting room, surveying the group of Phoenix-4 and 5 members seated before me. We had a lot to discuss, and I was eager to get started.

"Alright, everyone," I said, my voice clear and confident. "Let's get down to business. As you all know, we've been working on a new construction project in the New Grounds thanks to the bravery of the Pheonix-4 members. It's a big undertaking, but I'm excited to share the details of our progress with you all."

I nodded to River, who was seated to my right. He stood up, a holographic display flickering to life in front of him.

"As you can see," River began, "the new construction will be a state-of-the-art facility, designed to meet the needs of our growing team. We'll have advanced training facilities, cutting-edge research labs, and enhanced security measures to keep us all safe."

I watched as the team members nodded and asked questions, their faces lighting up with excitement. This was a big step forward for us,

    ARLO I walked into Cora's office, a sense of curiosity getting the better of me. I had noticed that she had been spending more and more time with Henry, and I couldn't help but wonder if there was something more to it."Cora, can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked, taking a seat in the chair across from her desk.She looked up from the data pad she was studying, a hint of annoyance in her eyes. "What is it, dad?" she asked, her voice crisp.I leaned forward, my eyes locked on hers. "I've noticed that you've been spending a lot of time with Henry lately," I said, trying to sound nonchalant. "And I was just wondering if maybe there's something going on between you two."Cora's expression turned icy, her eyes flashing with anger. "What are you talking about, dad?" she asked, her voice dripping with disdain. "Henry and I are just working together on a project. That's all."I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "Save it, Cora," I said, my voice firm. "I've seen the way you look at him. You're

    RIVERI walked alongside Alice, surveying the area as to discuss the ongoing project. The sun was shining down on us, casting a warm glow over the landscape.We have been so busy with helping everyone we seemed to have forgotten about ourselves and at least I wanted to make this about us."So, River, what's the latest on the construction?" Alice asked, her eyes scanning the area.I nodded, consulting the data pad in my hand. "We're making good progress," I said. "The framework is up, and we're starting to install the exterior panels. We're still on track to meet the deadline."Alice nodded, her expression thoughtful. "That's great to hear. I was worried that we might be falling behind schedule."I smiled, feeling a sense of pride in our team's work. "We're doing okay," I said. "But we do need to keep an eye on the budget. We're getting close to the limit, and I don't want to have to make any last-minute cuts."Alice nodded, her eyes sparkling with understanding. "I'll keep an eye on t

    SHANE I sat in front of my computer, scrolling through the lines of code and documents that I had managed to uncover about the new Neuroxine project. My eyes widened as I read through the details, my mind racing with the implications.I had to share this with someone, and I knew just the person. I quickly got up from my chair and made my way to Eleanor's station.I motioned over for her and she came along immediately. "What's up?" she asked with concern as I led her to our usual spot"What's going on, Shane?" she asked again.I took a deep breath, launching into the details of what I had discovered. "I've been digging into the new Neuroxine and it's a Nexus Override, a neutralizer to make everyone back to being just normal. But they don't know yet that to activate it we need a DNA sample from someone different" I said. "Someone like, Max and by her DNA I mean tons of testing, DNA processing, everything in the book."Eleanor's expression turned serious, her eyes narrowing. "That's not

    ELEANOR I stood frozen, holding my breath as I listened to Arlo's conversation with Dr. Everette. I had been walking down the hallway, lost in thought, when I stumbled upon the two of them talking in hushed tones. I quickly ducked into a nearby alcove, not wanting to be seen."...Henry is just a pawn in our games," Arlo was saying. "He thinks he's in control, but he's just a means to an end. When we're done with him, we'll get rid of him."I felt a chill run down my spine as I listened to Arlo's words. I had suspected that Arlo never really cared about Henry but now actively knowing Henry has never been anything more than just a pawn in someone else's game.Dr. Everette nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, we can't let him get too close to the truth. We need to keep him in the dark until it's too late."I felt a surge of anger and fear as I listened to their conversation. These are the same people Henry would die for in a heartbeat and here they say discussing how to get rid of him

    MAXINE I walked into Klaus' room, looking for Klaus. I spotted him standing, staring at the wall of holograms displayed with a map on it. I walked over to him, clearing my throat to get his attention."Klaus," I said, sitting down on the chair beside him. "I need to talk to you about something."Klaus turned to me, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What is it, Max?" he asked.I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "I just talked to Shane, and he wants to meet with me outside the border," I said. "He says it's about something important, but he wouldn't tell me what it is over the comms device. He said my mother wants to see me as well"Klaus's expression turned serious, his eyes flashing with concern. "You're not going alone, are you?" he asked.I shook my head, feeling a sense of relief. "No, I was hoping you could come with me," I said.Klaus nodded, his face set in a determined expression. "I'll go with you, Max," he said. "We'll face whatever it is together."I felt a sur

    ELEANOR I stepped out of the shadows, Shane by my side. We had been waiting for what felt like hours, and I was starting to get anxious. We were supposed to meet Max at the border, but I was starting to worry that something had gone wrong."Are you sure this is a good idea, Shane?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Shane nodded, his eyes scanning the surrounding area. "We need to be careful, Eleanor, but I think this is the only way to get to the bottom of what's going on. Max will be here soon, and we can figure out our next move together."I nodded, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I was tired of being in the dark, tired of being manipulated by people who didn't have my best interests at heart. It was time to take control, to fight back.Shane led me to the border, where we waited in silence. I could feel the tension building inside me, my heart racing with anticipation. What would we find out? What secrets would be revealed?As we waited, I couldn't shake the

    SHANE I quickly assessed our situation, my mind racing with possible escape routes. Eleanor was injured, and we needed to get her out of there - fast. I glanced around, taking in the layout of the area and the positioning of the Synod agents.I spotted a narrow alleyway to our left, partially hidden by a dumpster. It was our best chance. I grabbed Eleanor's arm, supporting her as we made a run for the alley."Come on, Eleanor, we need to move," I urged, trying to keep my voice low.She nodded, wincing in pain as we stumbled into a clearer path. I could hear the agents shouting behind us, their footsteps pounding the pavement.I pulled Eleanor along, my eyes scanning the path for any signs of danger. We were almost clear when I heard the sound of fighting up ahead.As we emerged from the alley, I saw Max and Klaus taking down a group of Synod agents. Max's movements were swift and deadly, her knife flashing in the dim light. Klaus was as fast as he was skilled, fighting beside Max, hi

    MAXINEI walked alongside Klaus, my heart heavy with grief. We were carrying my mother's lifeless body, her limbs limp and cold. I couldn't believe she was really gone. It felt like just yesterday we were laughing and joking together, and now...now she was nothing more than a memory.As we approached Vortex, I saw McKenna standing outside, her eyes scanning our approach. Her gaze landed on my mother's body, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of recognition. But it was quickly replaced by a mask of indifference.McKenna's eyes met mine, and I expected her to say something. To offer condolences, or to ask what had happened. But she said nothing. She just stood there, her expression unreadable as she leaned in for a hug and I felt all the emotions I had bottled inside overflow. The tears, anger, resentment, came all at once, something about her hug was warmly comforting and intentional and was just what I needed.But she said nothing. She just stood there, her silence a palpabl

    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

    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
