Chapter 235
The staircase shook under their weight, every step threatening to give way. The whole skyscraper moaned like it was alive, like Genesis itself was refusing to die quietly.“Move, move, move!” Beverly shouted, her voice sharp through the chaos.Davion dragged his legs one after another, each breath burning in his lungs. His shirt was torn, his skin bruised purple and red, but he didn’t stop. Beverly’s grip on his arm was the only thing keeping him upright.Above them, metal beams cracked loose, crashing down. Wilson shoved Lina out of the way just in time, the beam smashing into the stairs where she’d been standing.“Okay,” Wilson panted, his face pale. “That was fun. Let’s never do it again.”Lina shot him a look, wide-eyed but grateful. “You saved me.”Wilson managed a crooked grin, even with blood on his teeth. “Guess I had to balance out all the times I almost got us killed.”“Less flirting, more running!” Maya yelled, clutching her side as she limped up the stairs.Behind them, th

The floor wouldn’t stop shaking. Dust poured from the ceiling, chunks of concrete smashing into the glass around them. Sparks popped like fireworks, and somewhere deep in the core, an engine screamed its death song.Davion stood frozen, chest heaving, staring at his father dragging himself up through the wreckage. Iron Hand was bloodied, his clothes torn, but his eyes… his eyes still burned like fire that couldn’t be put out.“You think this building collapsing matters?” Iron Hand’s voice cut through the alarms, steady, unbroken. “I built this from nothing. I can build it again. But you—” He pointed at Davion, blood dripping from his hand. “You’re just a boy playing soldier.”Davion’s fists curled. He could hear his friends breathing behind him—ragged, tired, broken—but waiting. Waiting for him.“No,” Davion said, voice low. “I’m done playing.”Beverly stepped forward, blood on her face, fists raised. “We’re finishing this.”Iron Hand smirked, wiping blood from his mouth. “Then try.”

The alarms wouldn’t stop. They screamed through the core like the whole building knew it was dying. Red lights pulsed against the walls, bathing everyone in this nightmare glow, making it feel like we were standing inside a heartbeat about to flatline.Davion’s fists were raw, his knuckles split, but he didn’t stop. He couldn’t. His father stood across from him, calm in the chaos, blood trickling from his lip but his smirk still there.“You think shutting down a few wires makes you heroes?” Iron Hand sneered, stepping forward. “Genesis is bigger than all of you. Bigger than me.”Davion spat on the floor, chest heaving. “Then maybe it’s time it burns with you inside.”That did it. Iron Hand’s smile cracked into something darker. He lunged, his fist colliding with Davion’s ribs hard enough to rattle his lungs. Davion grunted, stumbling back, but Beverly was there—catching him by the arm, steadying him before he could fall.“You okay?” she hissed.“Yeah,” Davion lied, clutching his side.
Chapter 232
The air inside Genesis was thick, like it wanted to choke you before the fight even started. The hallways stretched forever, white lights buzzing above us like some kind of hospital that lost its soul. Every footstep echoed too loud, like the place itself wanted us to know we didn’t belong here.Davion walked in front, shoulders tense, jaw locked. Beverly stayed at his side, fingers brushing the edge of his jacket, like she was close enough to catch him if he cracked. The others trailed behind—Wilson gripping his bat like it was the only thing keeping him steady, Irene with her laptop bag bouncing against her hip, Reika spinning her knife even though her eyes looked dead serious.“Okay,” Wilson muttered, voice breaking the silence. “Not to sound like the coward in the movie, but this feels like the part where half of us get slaughtered.”“Don’t say that,” Irene snapped, eyes darting around. “Don’t even put it in the air.”Reika smirked. “Relax. If half of us die, I’ll make sure you’re
Chapter 231
The fire still lit up the sky like a second sun. Even from the tree line, the ruins of Genesis glowed, smoke curling into the night like a dying monster refusing to fade.No one spoke for a long time. The only sounds were the crackling of flames, the wheeze of their breaths, and the far-off echo of sirens in the city below.Finally, Wilson groaned from where he lay sprawled in the grass. “I just… want to officially state… that I quit. No more evil bases, no more almost dying, no more—” He coughed hard. “—whatever this was.”“You can’t quit,” Maya said, leaning against a tree, clutching her bandaged arm. “You’re stuck with us.”“Stuck? This isn’t a friend group. This is a death cult with better lighting.”Despite the ash in her hair and the bruises on her face, Beverly almost smiled. “Shut up, Wilson.”Lina wiped her eyes, still hugging her laptop like it was oxygen. Her voice cracked. “We really did it… didn’t we?”Reika, sitting apart from the rest, flicked a twig into the dirt. “Dep

The moment Iron Hand hit the floor, the whole chamber seemed to exhale. Then, like it had been holding its breath for too long, Genesis started to tear itself apart.The ceiling cracked, molten sparks raining down. Sirens wailed, high-pitched and broken. The smell of burning wires filled the air.“Uh, yeah,” Lina shouted over the alarms, eyes wide at her console. “In case anyone was wondering—this entire place is about to implode!”Wilson groaned, dragging himself up with Reika’s help. “Knew it. Evil base always comes with a self-destruct. Classic villain move.”“Less commentary, more running!” Beverly barked. She pulled Davion’s arm tighter around her shoulder, practically carrying him.He hissed in pain, ribs on fire. “I can walk.”“You can shut up and let me carry you,” she shot back.Reika snorted, coughing blood. “Wow. Romance is really alive tonight.”Another crack split the chamber, this one sending a massive chunk of ceiling crashing down where they’d been standing seconds bef
