The Nexus Point CHAPTER HUNDRED
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

ARLOI walked into the room, a sense of pride and accomplishment washing over me. Henry and the other agents were by my side, their faces set with determination and Henry's an expression I couldn't exactly read.And then, I saw Cora. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I could see the expectancy burning within her."Dad, congratulations!" she exclaimed, her voice dripping with enthusiasm. "I hear you've had a major success and you aren't exactly hiding your joy."I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and satisfaction. "Yes, Cora. I'm pleased to report that the mission was a complete success, Eleanor will not be a threat to us any longer. Henry here was instrumental in its execution."Henry's face remained impassive, but I could see the faintest glimmer of pride in his eyes. I reached out and clapped him on the back, feeling a sense of camaraderie with my young protégé.Cora's eyes narrowed, her gaze locked onto mine. "Tell me, dad. What exactly happened? I want all the details."I smiled, fee

MAXINE I sat on the meeting room at the barracks, my eyes fixed on Klaus as he walked towards me. We hadn't spoken about what happened last night, but the tension between us was evident especially after waking up alone on my bed.Klaus sat down beside me, his eyes locking onto mine. "About last night," he said, his voice low and husky.I nodded, my heart racing with anticipation. "Yeah?"Klaus took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving mine. "I know we got caught up in the moment, but we can't let our emotions get in the way of our work. We have to stay focused."I nodded in agreement, my mind racing with the implications. We had crossed a line last night, one that could potentially jeopardize our mission."I know," I said, my voice firm. "We can't afford to let our feelings get in the way. We have to stay professional."Klaus nodded, his eyes still locked onto mine. "Exactly. We have to keep our priorities straight."We sat there in silence for a moment, the tension between us still

SHANEI groggily opened my eyes, my head pounding with a dull ache. I was disoriented, unsure of where I was or how I got there. But soon as my gaze fell upon the cold, sterile walls of the Synod's interrogation room, my memories came flooding back.How I was taken mid conversation with Maxine and I have been here in the last three days trying my best to withstand the torture they had been giving me to get information on Vortex.Henry and Cora stood over me, their faces twisted into cruel grins. Henry's eyes gleamed with a sadistic light as he raised his hand, revealing a small, sinister-looking device."Shane, we've been waiting for you," Henry said, his voice dripping with malice. "You see, we've discovered that you've been helping Max, working against the Synod's interests."I tried to speak, but my voice was hoarse and barely audible. Cora leaned forward, her eyes flashing with anger."Don't bother trying to deny it, Shane," she spat. "We have evidence. And with this..." she gestu

MAXINE I stood at the designated spot, my eyes scanning the surrounding area for any sign of Shane or the Synod. Pen and Eric flanked me, their faces set with determination.But as the minutes ticked by, it became clear that something was off. Cora wasn't showing up, and Shane was nowhere to be found.I frowned, feeling a sense of unease. This wasn't like the Synod. They were always so predictable, so eager to prove their power.Just as I was starting to think that something had gone terribly wrong, my Comm rang. I answered it, expecting to hear Cora's voice on the other end.But instead, it was Klaus."Max, we have Shane," he said, his voice low and urgent.I felt a surge of surprise. How had Klaus managed to get Shane? And why was he calling me now?"What do you mean?" I asked, my mind racing with questions."We have him," Klaus repeated. "We need to get out of here, now. Meet us at Vortex immediately, the old hideout."I exchanged a look with Pen and Eric, and we quickly nodded in

MAXINE I sat beside Shane's bed, watching as he slept peacefully. He was recovering well, and I was grateful to see him on the mend.Just as I was starting to relax, I heard a knock at the door. I got up to answer it, expecting it to be one of the others with an update or a question.But to my surprise, it was McKenna. She smiled at me, her eyes sparkling with warmth."Hey, Max," she said. "I heard Shane was awake. I wanted to come and introduce myself."I stepped aside, letting McKenna into the room. She walked over to Shane's bed, her eyes scanning his face."Hi, Shane," she said softly. "I'm McKenna. I've heard a lot about you."Shane's eyes flickered open, and he looked up at McKenna in confusion. Then his gaze shifted to me, and he smiled weakly."Hey, Max," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.I smiled back at him, feeling a sense of relief that he was okay."Hey, Shane," I said. "McKenna came to visit you."Shane's eyes went back to McKenna, and he nodded slightly."Nice

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
The Nexus Point CHAPTER HUNDRED-TWENTY TWO
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
