The forest seemed to hold its breath as they moved. Every crackle of leaves underfoot sounded like a gunshot in the quiet. Davion led the way, his hand gripping Beverley’s as he navigated the tangle of roots and branches. Wilson and Reika flanked them, their weapons at the ready.

“I hate this,” Beverley whispered, her voice trembling. “I hate running like this.”

Davion squeezed her hand tighter. “I know,” he said. “But we’ll be safe soon.”

But even as he said the words, he didn’t believe them. He could feel it in his gut — the forest wasn’t safe. Not tonight.

Reika suddenly stopped, her eyes narrowing. She lifted her bow, scanning the trees. “Wait,” she said in a low voice. “Something’s wrong.”

Beverley froze, her heart pounding. She could feel it too — the stillness was too deep, too unnatural. Then she heard it: the faintest rustle of leaves behind them.

Davion turned, his eyes widening as three figures in black stepped from the shadows. More assassins. Their faces were hidden by ma

    Davion’s feet slammed against the steel floor, every step rattling through his bones. The core pulsed ahead like a giant, beating heart, wires glowing brighter with every second. Behind him, the screams of the children soldiers filled the chamber, a mix of human and machine.“Davion!” Beverly’s voice cut through the chaos. “Wait for us!”But he didn’t stop. Couldn’t. If he hesitated now, everything ended.A blur shot past him—Reika. She landed in front of him, knives flashing. “Don’t be stupid. You want to hit that thing, you’ll need cover.”He gritted his teeth, slowing just enough to fall in step beside her. “Then give me cover.”She smirked. “Finally, you’re speaking my language.”Behind them, Beverly slammed her blade into the ground, sparks flying. “Maya, Wilson—keep the kids off us!”Wilson’s panicked voice cracked. “How? They’re like—superhuman zombies!”“Then swing harder!” Maya snapped, shoving a child back with the metal rod. “We don’t have time to cry about it!”Another wav

    The hiss of the pods cut deeper than any scream. Steam rolled out across the floor, curling around their ankles. One by one, the kids inside twitched awake.They were younger—twelve, maybe fourteen—faces too small for the heavy wires stitched into their skin. Their eyes flickered open, glowing like molten metal.Lina’s hands flew to her mouth. “They’re… they’re just kids.”Reika’s jaw tightened, knives already in her hands. “Not anymore.”“Don’t say that,” Lina shot back, her voice cracking. “They are. Look at them.”Beverly’s grip tightened on her blade. “That doesn’t change what they are about to do.”As if on cue, the first of them stepped out of his pod. His movements were stiff, jerky, like a puppet on strings. The glowing veins in his arms pulsed in time with the machine at the center of the room.Iron Hand watched it all from above, calm, almost smug. “They’re perfect, aren’t they? Pure. Unburdened by choice, by weakness. They obey. They don’t question.” His pale eyes landed on

    For a moment, nobody moved. The room hummed, electricity crawling up the walls like restless snakes. Davion’s heart thudded so loud it drowned out almost everything else.Iron Hand stood there calm, too calm, like he’d been waiting for this exact moment. His pale eyes flicked across the group, landing back on Davion. “You brought friends. How… predictable.”Wilson, trying way too hard not to shake, muttered, “Oh great, supervillain dad is throwing shade now. Classic.”“Wilson,” Beverly hissed, elbowing him hard in the ribs.Davion swallowed, forcing himself to take a step forward even though his legs screamed at him to run. “You ruined everything,” he said, his voice low but shaking with anger. “The city. Mom. Me.”Iron Hand tilted his head, the faintest hint of amusement tugging at his mouth. “Ruined? No, Davion. I gave you purpose. Without me, you’re nothing but a boy with broken fists and a bleeding heart.”Reika scoffed, arms crossed. “Wow. Real inspirational speech. No wonder hal

    The city didn’t wake up the same way it used to. Sirens cut through the morning like alarms no one could shut off. Smoke rose in the distance, curling above the jagged skyline. And right at the heart of it all stood Genesis.The skyscraper was alive with steel and glass, lights burning even though dawn had barely cracked the horizon. It didn’t look like a building—it looked like a challenge.“God, it’s uglier up close,” Wilson muttered, shoving his hands in his hoodie pockets as the group crouched behind a busted delivery truck across the street. His voice was quiet, but sharp. “Seriously, who designs this? Supervillain IKEA?”Beverly didn’t smile. She didn’t even blink. Her eyes were locked on the tower, steady, unshaken. “This is it,” she said. “No turning back.”Lina hugged herself tighter, her hair damp from the morning rain. “We’re really doing this,” she whispered, almost like she still couldn’t believe it. “We’re actually insane.”Reika snorted beside her, arms crossed. “Took y

    The lobby was hell.Operatives poured in from every balcony, their armor glowing red with those eerie cybernetic veins. The sound was a mix of boots slamming against marble, weapons humming, and Wilson yelling things that definitely weren’t heroic.Davion’s pipe slammed into the first one’s mask, the crack reverberating up his arm. “Move!” he shouted again, his voice already hoarse.“I am moving!” Wilson yelled, swinging his chair at another operative. It shattered instantly. “Okay, not my best plan!”Beverly darted past him, her blade flashing in the red glow. Sparks flew as she slashed at one soldier’s arm, cutting through wires beneath the metal plating. The operative convulsed and dropped. “Stay focused!” she barked.“Focused on what?!” Wilson snapped, ducking under a swing. “Not dying?”“Exactly,” Beverly shot back.Reika whirled through the chaos, using the butt of her weapon more than the blade. She cracked one soldier across the head and hissed, “They’re stalling us.”Davion g
