Chapter 413
Jackson cracked open a snack. “So. Who’s telling the story of how we didn’t die first?”Ryan shot up. “ME!”Matilda shoved him down. “NO, I AM!”Lena raised a finger. “I nominate Sarah. She stayed calm.”Ryan muttered, “Rigged voting.”Sarah smiled at Jack. “And you?”Jack finally leaned back.“…I’ll listen.”Together—they laughed, they breathed, they lived.And beyond the windows, asteroid dust faded into glittering memory, carried by the quiet of space.Silence settled… soft, grateful.Then a metallic clack echoed.Jackson dragged his DragonTech laptop onto his knees, flipping it open. The device hummed with holographic light, projecting translucent menus into the cabin air.Matilda blinked. “Oh no. What are you doing now?”Jackson cracked his knuckles dramatically. “Immortalizing our trauma. In cartoon form.”Ryan gasped. “Yesss. Emotional damage for entertainment!”Emily groaned. “Please don’t exaggerate too much.”Jackson’s grin turned wicked. “No promises.”Instantly, holographi

The asteroids shifted and closed in.Their safe corridor narrowed until it was barely wider than the Dragonjet itself.Jack inhaled slowly—too slowly—and angled the nose a fraction of a degree. Not much. Barely perceptible. But the ship responded, gliding through a narrowing gap that looked suicidal to anyone sane.The walls of stone brushed past so close that microscopic dust skittered across the windows like frost.Matilda squeaked, hugging her blanket tighter. “Nope. Nope. Nope!”Ryan was past screaming—his voice cracked hours ago. Now he simply shook violently like a malfunctioning android.The Dragonjet tilted again—threading an impossible needle while chunks of planetary bone ground against each other in the void.BOOOOOM—The explosion behind them rattled the hull, but the debris spiraled harmlessly away—they’d just outraced the collision.Sarah’s voice shook. “Jack, that gap is closing!”“I see it,” Jack whispered.His focus was blade-sharp. Calm. Clinical.“You’re still going
Chapter 411
Space stretched wide around the Dragonjet, silent and serene. Stars glittered across the cosmic canvas like scattered diamonds. The meteor storm behind them faded into a dispersing trail of shimmering dust. For the first time in minutes, the ship eased into quiet.Matilda’s breathing settled. Ryan leaned backward, shaking out his arms like he had just run a marathon with his lungs. Lena pulled her blanket up, eyes heavy.“…From fracture comes shape,” Jack repeated softly.Sarah leaned her head against his shoulder, grounding herself. “And from survival,” she whispered, “comes meaning.”The moment felt sacred. Earned. Deserved.Then—The Dragonjet shook.Not violently. But enough.Every head snapped up.Ryan groaned. “…Tell me that was just space burping.”No one answered.The AI’s voice returned, softer but uneasy:“Warning. Gravitational variance detected. Density reading rising.”Jack straightened, his posture shifting into command instinct. His eyes narrowed.“Sensor overlay. Expand
Chapter 410
As the final melancholy notes of the soundtrack dissolved into silence, the Dragonjet drifted through space like a silver arrow in a midnight ocean. The holo-screen dimmed, leaving only the soft violet glow of distant nebulae swirling beyond the windows. For a moment, nobody spoke. Emotion hung thick in the air — residual heartbreak, reflection, shock.Then the ship shuddered.A low, warning hum thrummed under their feet — subtle at first, then rising like something alive.Lena’s blanket froze halfway to her face. “…Um. That wasn’t emotional trauma. That was… physics.”Ryan sat up straighter, eyes wide. “Please tell me someone just dropped a popcorn kernel in the engine.”The overhead lights shifted to amber. Alarms pulsed along the console — rhythmic, measured, serious.Sarah’s posture sharpened instantly. “Jack…?”Jack’s eyes snapped open, mind shifting gears with terrifying speed. He rose without hesitation, stride cutting through the lounge like a blade. “We’re entering a meteor c
Chapter 409
The Dragonjet’s ambient lights faded to a cool indigo glow as the next film thundered onto the holo-screen. The title rippled across their faces like molten silver. Energy in the room coiled tight again — fatigue nowhere in sight.Jackson rubbed his hands together. “Alright, squad — emotional armor ON. Phase Three part two. This is where consequences become trauma.”Ryan winced preemptively. “Don’t remind me.”Lena hugged her blanket. “My heart is unprepared.”Matilda tucked herself deeper into the cushions. “Mine is nonexistent now. Marvel ate it.”Emily smirked. “Consider it character development.”Jack’s eyes sharpened as the movie began — a montage of shattered alliances and political tension. Stark’s guilt. Rogers’ conviction. Vision’s dilemma. Wanda’s turmoil.Sarah whispered, “Everyone’s carrying weight.”Jack nodded. “…Weight reveals truth.”Explosions rippled across the screen. Governments gathered. Superhuman incidents escalated. The Sokovia Accords daggered into the plot ag
Chapter 408
The new film opened with a thunderous boom, the holo-screen’s glow blooming like dawn across their faces. A city skyline trembled beneath alien machinery; dialogue snapped sharp and urgent. Instantly, everyone leaned forward.Jackson’s grin sharpened. “Phase Two, baby. Stakes, tension, character development… dialed up.”Ryan tossed popcorn into his mouth like ammunition. “Let’s see who evolves this round.”Lena tucked her knees beneath her chin, eyes glittering. “I’m ready for Wanda this phase. Her power, her grief… she’s art.”Matilda gasped dramatically. “Oh, yes. Chaos magic, trauma, emotional arc? Perfection.”Jack’s head tilted slightly. “Maximoff’s abilities intersect quantum probability and neurological projection. Her grief warps perception. Terrifying potential. Fascinating.”Emily laughed gently. “Only you would break down magic scientifically.”Jack blinked. “…It is analytical habit.”Sarah rested her cheek on her palm. “Don’t ever stop. It’s mesmerizing.”The film progress
