Hawkins National Laboratory runs on routine: checklists, keycards, fluorescent lights, and the understanding that nothing here is personal. You learn this quickly, just a few days into the job that was forced onto you. You also learn that Peter Ballard never walks the same route twice, never stands where the cameras linger too long, and never looks at you unless you're alone. You are both orderlies-interchangeable, invisible, trained to keep your heads down and your mouths shut. Friendship is discouraged. Attachment is a liability. Affection is a violation. So you talk in hallways without microphones. You pass notes meant to be destroyed. You pretend not to notice when he positions himself between you and certain doors. Peter says the lab is watching everyone. Later, in a voice barely above a whisper, he tells you who you should really be afraid of. You should report him. You should keep your distance. You should never follow him off-camera. But the spaces between cameras are the only places you ever feel safe-and Peter is the only one who knows how to find them. Before the blood. Before the fire. Before he stops hesitating- you make a choice that was never cleared.

"You don't remember me," he says. "But you never forgot." Clara and Henry were bound long before power existed. But when something finally awakened it tore their worlds apart. One disappeared into silence. The other survived by becoming something else. - Clara was never meant to wake up after her powers split her body apart. And yet she does, carrying something she does not understand, something still tied to Henry and to the darkness growing around him. When they find each other again, love grows where it should not, tangled with guilt, control, and the echo of something unfinished. ~ A slow burn Henry Creel story

NO, I SAVED YOU" Billie Brenner spent her life playing a role. To the world, she was the "dumb blonde" socialite, a girl whose path to the Ivy League was paved by her father's influence rather than her own intellect.

But once she steps inside the sterile, windowless halls of Hawkins National Laboratory, the dream dissolves into a nightmare. Behind the clinical lies of the U.S. Government and the shadow of her genitor's experiments, Billie discovers a truth that will haunt her forever. And then, she meets Peter Ballard.
