The Nexus Point CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
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

HENRYI stood outside Arlo's office, my heart racing with anticipation. I had been summoned, and I had no idea what to expect. The last time I had spoken to Arlo, I was being reprimanded for my role in Maxine's escape. I had been beating myself up over it ever since, wondering if I could have done something differently.I took a deep breath and pushed open the door after his secretary gave me permission to go in. Arlo's office was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the computer on his desk. He looked up at me, his eyes piercing."Henry, thank you for coming," he said, his voice low and even.I nodded, taking a seat in the chair across from him. "What's this about, Sir?"Arlo leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together. "I've been thinking a lot about what happened with Maxine," he said. "And I've come to realize that you're not to blame for her escape."I felt a wave of relief wash over me, but it was quickly replaced by confusion. "What do you mean? I was the one

MAXINE I stood in the practice room, my eyes fixed on Klaus as he demonstrated yet another technique for focusing my strength. I had been trying for what felt like hours, but no matter how hard I concentrated, I just couldn't seem to get it right. Klaus's expression was stern, his eyes critical as he watched me struggle. "Again," he barked, his voice like a whip. I took a deep breath and tried once more, but my strength surged out of control, sending the training dummy flying across the room. Klaus sighed, his expression unimpressed. "You're not even trying, Maxine," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "You're just going through the motions, expecting everything to come easily to you. But it doesn't work that way. You have to focus, to discipline yourself." I felt a surge of frustration at his words. Didn't he understand that I was trying? That I was giving it my all, but it just wasn't working? "I am trying," I snapped, my voice rising. "But you're not helping. You're jus

MAX Yet again another brain signal test, this time being handled by River. I lay on the hospital bed, trying to calm my racing thoughts as River attached sensors to my head and wrists. He was running some special tests on my brain to measure my energy levels, and I was more than a little nervous."Okay, Max, just relax," River said, his voice soothing and calm. "This is going to be a piece of cake. Or, you know, a piece of pie. I'm more of a pie person myself."I couldn't help but laugh at his silly comment, and River smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "That's it, just relax. Let your mind wander to happy places."I took a deep breath, trying to do as he said. But my mind kept wandering back to the tests, and what they might show. River seemed to sense my nervousness, and he placed a gentle hand on my shoulder."Hey, Max, I've got an idea," he said. "Let's play a game. I'll tell you a story, and you just listen, okay?"I nodded, and River launched into a ridiculous tale about

MAXI walked up to Klaus, my eyes scanning the training room as I searched for him. I had come to apologize for my tantrum earlier, but as I spotted him, my mind went blank. He was shirtless, his muscles rippling as he moved through his training routine. I felt my gaze lingering on his chest, my eyes tracing the lines of his abs."Max?" Klaus's voice cut through my haze, his tone laced with sarcasm. "You're staring." he said as I felt my throat take a huge gulp.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I snapped back to reality. "Oh, sorry," I muttered, trying to compose myself.Klaus raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. "What brings you here? I thought you were still pouting in your room."I took a deep breath, trying to remember why I had come. "I wanted to apologize for earlier. I was out of line, and I'm sorry."Klaus's expression softened, and he walked towards me, his eyes never leaving mine. "You were a bit of a brat, but I'm getting used to it, as it seems yo
The Nexus Point CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
HENRY I had officially been summoned to Arlo's main office at Synod where I would be led by him to the main base, one I never knew existed and something in me was hopeful, somewhat excited for the new changes to follow this new step in my life. As I entered the grand study, my eyes scanned the room, taking in the opulent furnishings and the stunning view of the city skyline. But my gaze came to an abrupt halt when I spotted her. She was standing by the window, her back to me, her raven-black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of night. I felt a jolt of electricity run through my veins as I took in the sight of her slender figure, her porcelain skin glowing in the soft light.As I approached her, she turned to face me, and I was struck by the piercing green of her eyes.I stood frozen, my eyes locked on the vision before me. She was a goddess, a porcelain doll with piercing green eyes that seemed to see right through me. They sparkled with a hint of mischief, and I felt my

MAXINEI sat on my bed, fuming as I thought about Klaus and our latest confrontation. Alice walked into my room, a concerned look on her face."Hey, Max, what's wrong?" she asked, taking a seat beside me.I let out a deep breath, launching into a tirade about Klaus. "I hate him, Alice. I hate the way he always thinks "knows better", the way he never listens to me, the way he always has to be in control. And don't even get me started on the way he talks to me, like I'm some kind of inferior being. It's like he enjoys making me feel small and stupid."Alice listened patiently, nodding along as I spoke. But when I finally ran out of steam, she surprised me with her response."I think Klaus is quite charming, actually," she said, a small smile playing on her lips.I stared at her, incredulous. "What? Are you kidding me? He's arrogant, condescending, and completely infuriating."Alice chuckled. "I know he can come across that way, but I think there's more to him than that. I've seen the w

HENRY As I walked out of Arlo's office, I felt a sense of relief and excitement. I had made a decision that I knew would change my life forever. But as I stepped into the hallway, I was confronted with a figure that made my blood boil.Shane, the agent was supposed to be my best friend, my confidant now someone who I did not even trust, stood in front of me, a look of disappointment etched on his face."Henry, I'm surprised at you," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "I thought you were better than this. But I guess I was wrong."I felt a surge of anger at his words. Who was he to question my decisions? "What are you talking about, Shane?" I asked, trying to keep my cool."I'm talking about your decision to fully join The Facility, you do not know what you are getting yourself into" he replied, his eyes narrowing. "Is your family really worth it, Henry? Is it worth selling out to a organization that's only looking out for its own interests?"I felt a defensive instinct kick in
The Nexus Point CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
MAXINE I walked into the practice room, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I had spent the rest of the day thinking about my conversation with Mckenna, and I had come to a realization. I was not going to let Klaus's criticism get to me. I was going to prove to him, and to myself, that I was capable of mastering my powers.Klaus was already in the practice room, his eyes fixed on me as I entered. I could sense a hint of surprise in his expression, but he quickly masked it with his usual stoic demeanor."Look what the cat dragged in. I didn't expect you to come back. Ready to continue your training?" he asked, his voice neutral with a touch of sarcasm.I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. I was ready to face whatever challenges Klaus threw my way besides I knew better than to answer him.We began the training session, Klaus pushing me to my limits as usual. But this time, I was determined to keep up. I focused all my energy on the tasks at hand, pouring every ounce of c
