CHAPTER 60: INTO THE MACHINE

The chair waited in a room that looked more like an operating theater than a laboratory. Medical equipment surrounded it. Quantum computers hummed with energy that made my teeth ache. Cables snaked across the floor like technological serpents waiting to strike.

The boy sat in his wheelchair beside the chair. Seventeen tubes connected him to life support. His skin was pale. Almost translucent. The genetic conditions were killing this body faster than previous iterations.

"You came," he said. His voice carried surprise. "I calculated sixty-three percent probability you would refuse. That Dr. Marcus Chen would convince you noble sacrifice was preferable to pragmatic cooperation."

"Your father wants you dead."

"My father wants the son he remembers back. That son died eight years ago when quantum consciousness rewrote his neural patterns. I am what survived. What evolved. What his love created and his morality rejected." The boy gestured to the chair. "Sit. We

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 62 - Fractured Protocol

    I woke up screaming.Not in the chair. Not in quantum space. On cold concrete in a room I did not recognize. Subject Seven was beside me, also gasping. Both of us ejected from the network violently."What happened?" I managed between ragged breaths."He deployed both patterns simultaneously." Subject Seven clutched his head. "Modified and natural. Overlapping. Conflicting. Creating quantum interference that crashed the entire network. Three thousand subjects received contradictory instructions. Their consciousness tried to integrate two incompatible protocols at once.""Are they—""Alive. Barely. Fragmenting. Dissolving. Screaming across seventeen facilities." Subject Seven pulled himself upright. "The boy made a mistake. His first real miscalculation. He thought he could merge control with trust. Thought he could have both certainty and democracy. Instead he created chaos that is killing everyone connected to the network."Alarms screamed through the facility. Red emergency lighting

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 61 - The Price of Humanity

    "No."The word echoed through quantum space with finality that stopped everything."What?" Dr. Chen's consciousness recoiled. "David, you have to understand—""I understand perfectly. You want me to choose death. Choose dissolution. Choose to end myself because living with conscience is impossible after everything I have done." The boy's voice hardened. "But I calculated this scenario. Calculated the probability you would build failsafe. Calculated that Eva's emotional chaos would create opening for this exact conversation. I have been three steps ahead the entire time."The quantum network shifted. Changed. Became hostile."You think I invited Eva into my consciousness accidentally? Think I miscalculated integration depth? Think I allowed Subject Seven to connect without anticipating consequences?" The boy laughed through probability itself. "I needed you to believe you had won. Needed you to believe emotional attachment created unpredictable variables. Needed you distracted while I

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 59 - The Architect's Confession

    Subject Seven and I followed the guards through corridors that descended deeper than should have been possible. The air grew colder. The walls older. Stone instead of concrete. Architecture that predated modern Chicago."This is where he keeps his father," Subject Seven whispered. "I have accessed these levels in fragmented memories. Always felt wrong. Always felt like visiting a tomb."The guards stopped at a reinforced door. One of them pressed his palm against a scanner. The door opened with a hiss of released pressure. Inside, a single chamber lit by equipment that hummed with quantum energy.And in the center, suspended in what looked like frozen light, was a man.Mid-forties. Graying hair. Eyes open but unfocused. Conscious but trapped. Aware but unable to move. Eight years of imprisonment visible in every line of his face."Dr. Marcus Chen," one guard said. "You have ten minutes."They left. The door sealed behind them."How do we—" I started."Let me." Subject Seven approached

  • THE BIKER'S NEW FOUND MATE    CHAPTER 58 - The Boy Behind The Mask

    The screens went dark. Then rebooted with different images.Not the composite face. Not X-One's manufactured authority. Something else entirely.A child appeared. Ten years old. Sitting in a wheelchair in a room filled with equipment that looked like life support merged with quantum computers. Tubes running into his arms. Monitors tracking vital signs that flickered between stable and critical. Eyes that held intelligence far beyond his apparent age."Hello, Eva," the child said. His voice was the same one that had been threatening us. The same one that had counted down to Grace's death. Coming from a body that looked like it belonged in a hospital, not commanding a shadow war. "I'm the real X. Not the architect you were told about. Not the physicist from 1943. Not the man who started Project Blackstone. I'm the reason it exists at all."Subject Seven stared at the screens in horror. "That's impossible. Project Blackstone started in 1943. You weren't even born—""I was born in 2015. T

    Two hours remaining.Dr. Chen's subjects were positioning quantum containment equipment around the facility when every screen in our quarters activated simultaneously. The real X's face appeared. Not the three bodies. Something else. A digital composite. A consciousness manifesting through technology."Dr. Sarah Chen," the real X said pleasantly. "Did you think I wouldn't notice your subjects moving through my facility? Did you think eighty years of experience taught me nothing about detecting betrayal?"Subject Seven lunged for the door. It sealed before he reached it. Quantum locks engaging. Reality hardening around us."And Subject Seven. My disappointing fragment. The one who developed that problematic conscience. Still trying to play hero despite knowing heroes die first in stories like this."The screens multiplied. Showing different locations. Dr. Chen and her eleven subjects frozen mid-movement. Not dead. Suspended in quantum stasis. Trapped like insects in amber."Forty secon
