Chapter 192
Davion’s boots pounded against the metal floor, the clang echoing through the endless tunnel. Beverly was right behind him, half dragging Elias, whose breaths were still too shallow for comfort. Rami and Liora covered the rear, guns raised, scanning the dark corners for anything his father might throw at them next.The air smelled like burnt wires and blood. Every flicker of the dying lights above felt like the place was counting down its last seconds.“Core’s up ahead,” Rami said between breaths. “Thirty meters.”“Feels like thirty miles,” Beverly muttered, tightening her grip on the girl they’d freed earlier — the one with the spinal implant. She hadn’t said a word since Davion disabled it, just stared at the ground like she was afraid to look up.Davion slowed when they reached a wide blast door. The thing was huge — reinforced steel, double-hinged, and humming faintly with power.“Think we can open it?” Beverly asked.“We’re not knocking politely,” Davion said, yanking the EMP cha

The hall felt endless. Every step echoed like the place was mocking us. The walls were this ugly gray metal, all scratched up like they’d seen a hundred fights. The air was thick—like it had been trapped here for decades and didn’t want to leave.“Anyone else feel like this place is… watching us?” Maya asked, keeping her gun raised.“It is,” Rami muttered, eyes darting to every blinking panel we passed. “Motion sensors in the walls. And cameras. Probably audio too.”“Good,” Davion said. “Let him hear me coming.”Beverly’s eyes flicked toward him. “We can’t just fucking storm in screaming. This is his territory.”Davion didn’t slow down. “It used to be fucking mine too.”We passed a door with a shattered window. Inside, old bunks were lined up in rows, sheets torn and yellowed. The smell was mold and rust. I didn’t even wanna imagine the memories Davion had in here.Maya glanced inside. “This is where you—”“Don’t,” Davion cut her off, voice tight. “Just… don’t ok.”We kept going until

The alarms wouldn’t shut up. They were this constant, ear-splitting wail echoing through the whole place, like the walls themselves were panicking. Red lights flashed over the steel corridors, making everyone’s faces look like they were covered in blood.“We’ve got company!” Maya yelled from the back. She was gripping her pistol, eyes darting like she expected a swarm to drop from the ceiling.Davion didn’t slow down. “No kidding.”Beverly was right beside him, her voice low but sharp. “We’re not gonna make it to the core if we keep getting boxed in.”“Then we don’t let them box us in,” Davion shot back, gripping his rifle tighter. His knuckles were white.They hit the next corner—and almost ran straight into three more enhanced kids. These ones weren’t the ones they’d seen before. Taller. Bulkier. Probably older. Definitely armed.“Move and you’re dead,” one of them barked, his voice mechanical through a throat modulator.Davion stepped forward, holding up a hand. “We’re not your ene

Beverly slammed the van door behind her like it had personally offended her. “Okay,” she said, tossing her bag onto the middle seat. “I’ve got a plan. And before any of you say it—yes, it’s insane. But it’s also the only way we win.”The air in the van was thick—part nerves, part leftover gunpowder smell from earlier fights. Davion sat slouched in the corner, his hoodie pulled up, eyes locked on the floor. I knew that look. He was about to blow.“What’s the play?” Wilson asked, spinning his knife on his palm.Beverly leaned forward, dropping a folded map and a handful of printouts onto the table between us. “Iron Hand’s primary servers aren’t in Genesis,” she said. “They’re in a hidden base—one connected to the original facility your father ran, Davion. We take that out, everything collapses.”Davion finally looked up. His voice was flat. “You’re talking about my father’s lab.”“Yeah,” Beverly said, softer now. “The one he built before Iron Hand went public. The one they’ve kept burie
Chapter 188
The corridors of Genesis were quiet. Too quiet.Not the normal “library quiet,” but that type of silence that felt like it was holding its breath, waiting for you to make the wrong move.Beverly was a few steps ahead, shoulders squared, her black jacket shifting with every sharp stride. She didn’t say much—just kept her eyes on the holographic map on her wristband. I knew her well enough to realize that meant she was locked in.Behind us, Irene kept glancing over her shoulder, her fingers twitching near her holstered gun. “This place gives me the creeps,” she muttered.“It’s supposed to,” I said. My voice came out harsher than I meant, but… yeah. This was my father’s handiwork. Every metal wall, every security drone, every bolt in the floor—he’d either designed it or had someone design it while standing over their shoulder, breathing down their neck like some corporate overlord from hell.“Still no movement on the scanners,” Reika said from the back. “It’s almost like they want us to

The van’s headlights died as they rolled into the mountain’s throat.Rami killed the engine, and silence rushed in—thick, suffocating, broken only by the drip of water from the stone above.“This is where we walk,” Davion said, voice low.The team grabbed their gear. Maya slung her sniper rifle, Beverly checked her sidearm, and Elias—pale but determined—tightened the straps of a borrowed flak vest.“Stay behind me,” Davion told him.“Not a kid anymore,” Elias said.Davion gave him a look. “Not negotiable.”Elias didn’t argue, but his jaw set in a way Davion recognized—same stubbornness they’d shared as boys.They moved down the tunnel in single file, flashlights cutting thin beams through the dark. Old rails from the mining days were still embedded in the floor, warped with rust. Faint heat signatures bled from deeper inside—just like the satellite scan had promised.Maya paused at a bend, peering ahead. “Two guards. Not human.”Davion moved up beside her. They weren’t guards in the n
