Nella Tanson and Canada Grey are at opposite ends of their world. And their world is the Polytechnic. A battle academy designed to push the best and brightest of the new generation. Cadets are completely isolated from the chaotic outside world and taught to fight, hack, lie, and manipulate. They're separated into Nine Sectors (each with three individual Brigades. Except for the Ninth of course, Y and Z are on their own). When Nella is removed from her comfortable position in the Q Brigade and forced to work alongside Canada in C, the two become the best warriors in the academy. Nella, calm and skilled but reeling from a dangerous (and redacted) incident that left her separate from the rest of her peers, and Canada, cold and brilliant and ostracized by everyone she's ever known. They're quite a team. But unbeknownst to the young women, two mysterious forces are pushing them together, aware that they might be the only hope of saving, quite frankly, everything.

Rebooting the Oberrlyn's
The Oberllyn's in the year 2018 are a shadow family. Noel , Violet and their children are close knit in more ways than one; traditionally native, brilliant, with military and scientific backgrounds, they all work together in the family firm. The firm, a fourth generation independent underground spy network, works directly for the President and other U.S. allies to stop the spread of terrorism. In theory, Kai, Gabriel and Jasmine are supposed to take over the firm; Noel and Violet are supposed to retire as soon as the boys finish their present military service. Kai and Gabriel had gone into the military undercover as recruits, only to have the government they all thought they were working for put them in situations to deliberately attempt to kill them . While her brothers are under fire, Jasmine is in university finishing her degree in forensic psychiatry, and while studying, finds a husband as well. Lilianna has gone off on her own; Micah, an eight year old autistic savant, is learning to cope with his social anxiety while Serena just wants to find a horse to ride. In the meantime, a hidden figure sets loose a savage virus that has a 100% kill rate, it has gone global, and the Oberllyn's need to kill it before it kills them and everyone else. And you thought retirement planning was just a matter of money...Complete

"Are you from a different planet or under some sort of mind control? If so I can get you the help you need," she offers and my eyes go wide. "Excuse me? Another planet? Mind control? And you say I'm the crazy obsessed one," I laugh. Mom just looks at me like I'm stupid, and shares her response. "Where have you been the last few years?" "What is that supposed to mean?" I ask. "Uh, New York, London, DC, you know all the terrible attacks? The attacks that, thank god, didn't get too much worse because of the Avengers." What. The. Heck. "Wait, wait, wait, you mean to tell me that the Avengers are real?" I ask and my mom nodded in confusion. Wait she didn't mention anything about Infinity War or Endgame...rest in peace Tony and Natasha. "What year is it?" "Um, 2015." I'm in the MCU. During Age of Ultron. DISCLAIMER: I don't own any character besides Natalie and her family or the franchise..so gang gangComplete

Title Erased (Love)
A one shot about a romance revolving around a futuristic institute's cultural festival. As it is, even future soldiers have a normal high-school life. The story is set in the future, where children are trained from an early age, by the permission of their parents, (unless of course, they are orphans) to become Knights. They then become part of the military. Nina is such a child, who joined the V_ four years ago. She's infamous for her wild nature and blatant disregard of the rules and the Student Council. And then, by some blighted twist of fate, she finds herself a House Prefect. Enter Azerkin Schwann, suave, cool, mysterious and with a permanent train of fangirls. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, Nina finds a close friend in the drool-worthy Schwann. Everything is going on perfectly; except for a pack of man-killer cyborg wolves, an insanely powerful rival-in-battle, whose aim in life seems to be throwing challenge after challenge at Nina, and the Senior Troublemaker of the School's latest game :- 'Set fire to a pile of straw'. Well, that's not much, after all, what can a pile of straw do? Nothing, unless there's a stack of fireworks underneath. And that's the least of her worries when Nina's fallen head over heels for Schwann. This is a work of fiction, and the characters introduced are purely fictional. Any resemblance in name or character is unintentional. Just sayin' since this is basically my first story using normal names and settings. The story is currently a one shot. I may develop it further if there's a positive response from my readers. Positive, as in comments and votes.Complete![[COMPLETED] The Academy For Genetically Gifted Children Book One: Genesis](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/96534081-256-k894135.jpg)
[COMPLETED] The Academy For Genetically Gifted Children Book One: Genesis
COMPLETED // Highest Ranking: #12 in Science Fiction As the author I feel the responsibility to warn you of what you will encounter if you choose to read The Academy For Genetically Altered Children series: -a boy whose life depends on a rock -a lurking monster -a lot of sassiness -strange powers -a future that might not be far off from our own -a room full of weapons -strange, vivid dreams -bullies -children infused with animals -students disappearing - SO MUCH MORE // Even among a genetically altered society Andromeda Lovelace, Kai Kinsman, Layla DeStone, and Orion Hornthaw are considered far from normal. The GOP (Government Owned Property) Children were created, their genes professionally selected before they even came into existence. Birthed by surrogate mothers for the government, these four children have to discover just how they came to be, why they exist, and what the New Nation expects from them. At the age of twelve, they each are selected for the Academy for Genetically Gifted Children; an institution for "special" children. There, they will face insane tasks, meet a diverse group of kids and adults, and uncover secrets about themselves, the academy, and the government--ones that might better be kept hidden. Meanwhile, something sinister is haunting the academy's grounds and the GOP Children are facing inner battles of their own: Andi is having drastically realistic nightmares, Kai's life depends on a rock, Layla is hearing screams and whispers, and Rion has secrets of his own. Join the four GOP Children on a journey that may make you question things about yourself, the future, and what is right and what is inhumane in a world that may not be so far off--and maybe, just maybe you'll even see a little bit of yourself in each character. // This is my first novel, so I'm fairly new to this haha. I'm sure there will be the occasional grammatical error so I apologize in advance! I hope you all enjoy it and I am open to any suggestions!Complete
