The Nexus Point CHAPTER SEVEN
MAXINE We arrived at Shane's safe house, a sleek, high-tech haven. Exhaustion, fear, terror and some other feelings I couldn't figure out claimed me. As I step into the safe house, I'm immediately enveloped in a sense of security and tranquility. The exterior of the building is nondescript, but once inside, I'm surrounded by cutting-edge technology and innovative design. The first thing I notice is the advanced biometric scanner that verifies his identity and grants us access to the facility. The scanner uses a combination of facial recognition, fingerprint analysis, and retinal scanning to ensure that only authorized personnel can enter. Once we cleared, the doors slide open, revealing a spacious, minimalist interior. The walls are adorned with holographic displays that provide real-time updates on the surrounding environment, including surveillance feeds, weather reports, and threat assessments. The air is crisp and clean, thanks to the advanced air filtration system, which c

MAXINE I felt a surge of fear as I was dragged away from Shane, the Synod Agents' grip on my arms like a vice. I struggled against them, but they were too strong. As I was led deeper into the Synod underground facility, I caught glimpses of the horrors that lay within. The air was thick with the scent of disinfectant and something else... something acrid and burning. We passed by rooms filled with rows of beds, each one occupied by an NX-5 like me. Some were strapped down, their bodies contorted in agony as they underwent painful tests. Others lay motionless, their eyes vacant and unresponsive. I heard the muffled screams and cries for help coming from behind closed doors. My heart racing, I struggled against the agents holding me, but they were too strong. We eventually arrived at a door with a small window. The agent holding me gestured for me to look inside. I hesitated, but my curiosity got the better of me. I peered through the window, and my blood ran cold. Inside the room

ARLO I sat behind my desk, sipping my coffee as I reviewed the day's schedule. It was a lovely day indeed, a rare day when everything went according to my plan. My secretary, Juliet, knocked on the door, interrupting my thoughts of pure triumph. "Sir, Henry Wilson and Shane Parrish have arrived," she said. I nodded, setting my coffee down. "Send them in." A moment later, the two agents walked into my office, their expressions guarded with Henry's of strength and ambition and Shane of skeptics. "Ah, gentlemen," I said, standing up to greet them, offering a handshake and taking Parrish unaware. "Thank you for bringing Max in. I know it can't have been easy. She has been a person of personal value to both of you who grew up with her, one as a sister and the other as a friend." Henry and Shane exchanged a glance, their faces unreadable. "I want to assure you that what we're doing here is for the greater good," I continued. "And I think you two have the potential to be a part of some

HENRY I finally went home after I haven't seen my parents since the entire ordeal with Max and I. I knew a lot was going to happen as soon as I step into the house and I wasn't wrong. I walked through the front door, exhausted from the past three days. I hadn't been home since I'd brought my sister to Synod, and I knew my parents were going to be furious. As soon as I stepped into the living room, my mom launched herself at me, her face red with anger. "How could you do this to us, Henry?" she screamed. "You've destroyed our family!" I didn't want to engage so I stepped away from them "I don't want to argue, at least not today" I said trying to make my way up the stairs Mom wasn't having any of that as she did not stop "I knew you had always been ambitious, but going after your own sister was the last straw! You are not the son we raised" She continued as dad chimed in "Maxine is your little sister, it is your duty to protect her, but you led the people who took her into custod

SHANE(6 YEARS AGO)I often find myself daydreaming about what it would be like to have a happy home, a loving family that's always there for me. But that's not the reality I've been dealt.My mother, an NX-5, has struggled with mental illness for as long as I can remember. She's not capable of taking care of me, and I've had to rely on others to raise me. I haven't seen her in a very long time as she is being held at Synod facility. My father passed away when I was just a kid, leaving me with no choice but to be taken in by my aunt and uncle.They've done their best to provide for me, but it's not the same as having a traditional family. That's why I cherish the time I spend with the Wilsons. They're not my biological family, but they've taken me in and made me feel like one of their own.Whenever I'm at their house, I feel like I'm part of a real family. They laugh, they argue, they love each other - it's all so foreign to me, but it's also incredibly comforting. For a few hours, I

MAXINE I felt like I'd been running on a treadmill for hours, my legs aching and my lungs burning. But it wasn't just physical exhaustion - it was mental and emotional too. The tests they'd been putting me through were designed to push me to my limits, to see how much I could endure.I'd been poked and prodded, scanned and examined. They'd thrown everything at me, from psychological evaluations to physical challenges. And through it all, I'd been forced to wear this stupid blue point collar that suppressed my powers.But the worst part was yet to come. They led me to a small room, where a nurse was waiting with a syringe. Large enough to scare an animal. "Time for a blood test, Max," she said, her voice cheerful but her eyes cold.I tried to relax, but my heart was racing. I hated needles, and the thought of them sticking one in my arm made me queasy, I tried to nuzzle my way out with terror building inside of me but I was strapped tight on that bed. I added straps to the list of thi

ELEANOR I stood in our kitchen, my hands shaking with frustration as I begged Oscar to listen to me. "We have to do something, Oscar. We can't just sit here and do nothing. Max is our daughter, and she's in danger."Oscar's face was set in a stubborn expression. "I know that, Eleanor. But contacting the resistance group is not the answer. It's too dangerous. We can't risk putting Henry in harm's way."I felt a surge of anger. "Henry? You're worried about Henry? What about Max? She's the one who's being held captive by Synod and he put her there, he betrayed every single thing this family represents and you know it."Oscar's voice rose to match mine. "I'm worried about all of our children, Eleanor. But we can't just rush into something without thinking it through. The resistance group is not to be trusted. They're just as likely to use Max as a pawn in their game against Synod."I felt tears pricking at the corners of my eyes. "How can you say that? We have to try something. We can't

NIKLAUS I stood in the dimly lit hallway, my mother McKenna's eyes shining with a mix of worry and determination as she gazed up at me."Klaus, be careful," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "You and your team are taking a huge risk by going into that facility. But I know you have to try. Max needs you."I nodded, feeling a surge of resolve. "We'll get her out, Mom. I promise."McKenna's eyes searched mine, as if looking for any sign of doubt or hesitation. But I knew she wouldn't find any. I was determined to rescue Max, no matter what it took.My team was waiting for me outside, their faces set with determination. Jax, Lena, Eric, and Pen - we'd all been through so much together, and I knew I could count on them to have my back.McKenna reached out and grasped my arm, her grip tight. "Come back to me, Klaus," she whispered. "All of you, come back to me."I smiled, trying to reassure her. "We will, Mom. We'll be back before you know it, with Max safe and sound."McKenna n

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
The Nexus Point CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
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
The Nexus Point CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
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
The Nexus Point CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
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
