Chapter 51
The sky above Braxton City burned gold and crimson as dawn broke over the skyline. The storm had finally passed, leaving the world in eerie silence. The tower lights flickered back on, one by one, like tired eyes opening after a nightmare.Ethan stood at the balcony of his office, staring down at the city below. He’d barely slept for two days ever since the “quieting protocol” they’d used on Leanna. It worked at first, but something about her calm felt too perfect, too… rehearsed.Behind him, the door slid open softly. Mira stepped in, carrying two cups of coffee. “You’re still up,” she said.He took the cup with a nod. “Can’t stop thinking.”Mira leaned against the railing beside him. “About Leanna?”“About what’s left of her,” he said quietly. “She’s… different. Calmer. Kinder, even. But when she looks at me now, it’s like she’s seeing something I can’t.”Mira’s voice dropped. “You think Azure’s still in her.”“I know it is,” he said. “But I don’t think it’s controlling her. It’s le

The light that swept through Braxton City lingered in the air like mist, glowing faintly in the early morning fog. Power grids that had been silent for years flickered back to life. Broken drones rose shakily from the ground, their optics blinking with new energy. Even the air felt charged, not with danger, but with quiet awe.Ethan sat by Leanna’s bedside in the medical bay. Her body was pale, still, connected to soft monitors that hummed steadily. But every few seconds, the readings spiked, like something inside her was still trying to speak.He hadn’t moved in hours. His hand rested on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on her calm face.Mira entered quietly, carrying a small tablet. “Ethan,” she said softly, “the city’s systems are stabilizing. Traffic lights, hospitals, comm lines, they’re all back online.”He didn’t look up. “Because of her.”Mira hesitated. “Maybe. But it’s… different. The grid isn’t responding like before. It’s alive. There’s no central control. It’s learning

The night was thick with silence as Ethan stood on the balcony of Braxton Pharmaceuticals’ top floor, staring at the city below. The streets shimmered with light, but his mind was far from peaceful. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the same fac…Dr. Voss. The man who had stolen his memories, his peace, and perhaps even his destiny.Leanna’s voice broke the silence. “You’ve been out here for almost an hour,” she said softly, wrapping a coat around his shoulders.Ethan didn’t turn. “I can’t rest, Leanna. Everything feels... too quiet. Like a storm is waiting to hit.”Leanna looked out at the skyline beside him. “You’re right. Our spies traced movement near the northern research outpost. That’s where Voss’s last signal came from before it went dark.”Ethan turned sharply. “Then that’s where he’s hiding.”Leanna nodded. “Yes. But it’s not just him. Elara’s signal was detected nearby too.”His heart skipped. “Elara? I thought she was gone.”Leanna looked hesitant. “She’s alive, Ethan.

The sirens screamed through the underground facility, drowning out the sound of Ethan’s heartbeat. Red emergency lights flashed wildly across the metallic walls, painting every face in a bloody hue. Steam hissed from broken vents, and the ground trembled beneath them as machinery roared to life.“Leanna, cover the east side!” Ethan shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. “Marcus, shut down the containment system before those tanks rupture!”“Too late!” Marcus yelled back, frantically typing into his wrist console. “The system’s locked! He’s overriding me!”Dr. Voss stood on the upper platform, calm amid the panic, his hands moving like a conductor of death. “You can’t stop it, Ethan! Project Seraphim will live, even if you die here!”The first glass tank shattered with a thunderous crash. A surge of freezing vapor poured out, followed by a human figure…barely recognizable, skin pale and veins glowing faint blue. The subject let out an inhuman scream that rattled the room.“Targe
Chapter 55
The morning after the explosion was eerily quiet. The snow-covered mountain smoldered where the Seraphim lab once stood, black smoke twisting into the gray sky. Ethan stood apart from the others, his coat torn and stained, watching the faint wisps of smoke rise from the crater. Every flicker reminded him of Elara’s last moments…the blinding light, her voice, the calm in her eyes before she vanished.Leanna approached slowly, her steps crunching over the snow. “Ethan,” she said gently, “the rescue team’s on their way. We should move before the cold gets worse.”He didn’t answer. His eyes stayed fixed on the crater.“She’s gone,” he said finally, his voice low. “And Voss… if there’s any justice in the world, he’s gone too.”Leanna hesitated. “We can’t be sure of that.”Ethan turned to her sharply. “You saw that explosion. No one could’ve survived it.”“That’s not what I mean.” She pulled out a damaged datapad, one she’d salvaged from the wreckage. “Before everything went up in flames, M
Chapter 56
The sun had barely risen over the skyline when Ethan stormed into Braxton’s main operations floor, his face tense and sleepless. The city outside gleamed peacefully, but inside the tower, tension hummed like static. Every monitor, every blinking light, every hum of the server rack reminded him of the faint blue pulse he’d seen last night.Leanna followed close behind, holding a tablet. “You’re sure you saw it?” she asked quietly.Ethan nodded. “It wasn’t a glitch, Leanna. It was a heartbeat. Voss’s signature frequency….steady and deliberate.”Marcus looked up from the security hub, dark circles under his eyes. “I’ve scanned the network three times. No signs of intrusion. No data corruption. Nothing.”“That’s what he wants,” Ethan muttered. “Voss doesn’t crash systems. He hides inside them….like a virus that pretends to be the cure.”Leanna frowned. “If he’s alive in the servers, he’ll need power. Somewhere to anchor himself.”Marcus turned back to his console. “Braxton’s got hundreds

The storm had worsened by the time the helicopter neared the outskirts of the mountains. Sheets of rain lashed against the windshield, and thunder rolled like distant artillery. Leanna gripped the edge of her seat as the rotors sliced through the mist.“Visibility’s dropping fast!” Marcus yelled over the roar. “If we don’t land soon, we’ll be flying blind in a couple of seconds.”Ethan leaned forward, squinting through the fog. “There….can you see that ridge? That’s where the old lab sits. Set us down behind it.”The helicopter descended shakily, touching down on a half-collapsed helipad swallowed by moss and vines. The air outside was thick and cold. The once-sterile research complex loomed ahead, a skeletal frame of metal and shattered glass, its Braxton insignia barely visible beneath rust and rain.Leanna adjusted her weapon strap and stepped into the mud. “This place gives me the creeps.”Marcus snorted. “That’s saying a lot, considering everything we’ve seen.”Ethan scanned the
Chapter 58
The helicopter landed on the rooftop of Braxton Pharmaceuticals just as dawn broke through the rain. The city below was soaked in golden light, but something about it felt… unnatural. The power grid pulsed strangely…. traffic lights blinked out of rhythm.Ethan stepped out first, his coat still damp, his face pale from exhaustion. Leanna followed, scanning the skyline. The horizon was lined with glowing drones hovering like silent sentinels.“Does it feel different to you?” she asked quietly.Ethan nodded. “It’s like the whole city’s breathing on its own.”Marcus came out carrying a small case. “Satellite uplinks are jittery. Network activity spiked about an hour ago, globally. I think Voss’s system’s still active.”Ethan didn’t answer right away. He walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down at the streets. People moved like normal…commuters, vendors, children…but something about their devices caught his eye. Screens flickered with faint blue static every few seconds.He frown
Chapter 59
When Ethan opened his eyes, the world was too quiet.The bright, sterile light above him hummed softly, the kind of hum that sounded almost… alive. He blinked a few times, trying to steady his breathing. His head throbbed, but there was no pain….just a dull emptiness, like a piece of him had been taken and replaced with something he couldn’t name.He sat up slowly. The room wasn’t familiar at first. It looked like a hospital, but too perfect. The walls gleamed like glass, and the air smelled faintly of metal. Machines around him hummed in rhythm, each one pulsing with a soft blue glow…..the same shade that used to belong to Voss’s code.Leanna rushed in the moment she saw movement. Her eyes widened, and before he could speak, she threw her arms around him.“Ethan,” she whispered, her voice shaking. “You scared me half to death.”He hugged her back, though something felt off in the air…..like static clinging to his skin. “How long was I out?”“Three days,” Marcus said from the doorway.
Chapter 60
The rain came down in silver sheets over Braxton City, washing away the dirt, the blood, and the lies that had stained its streets for months. From the top floor of Braxton Pharmaceuticals, Ethan stood before the glass window, hands clasped behind his back, watching the storm rage. It felt almost poetic… the world was cleansing itself, just as he was trying to do with his life.But deep down, Ethan knew peace was still far from his reach.Leanna entered the room quietly, her reflection appearing beside his in the glass. Her face was pale, tired, but resolute. “It’s done,” she said softly. “The Voss serum has been completely neutralized. The infected patients are stabilizing.”Ethan nodded, though his eyes didn’t leave the horizon. “And the Council?”“They’re furious,” she admitted. “But powerless. You’ve cut off their funding channels. Without the support of the black market syndicates, they can’t continue their experiments.”For a moment, silence filled the space between them….heavy
