  Summary

  Piper doesn’t mean to become Conrad's handler. She’s just the person who sits next to him in class, laughs at his jokes, tells him to eat, and notices when things go worse if she isn’t there. They’re always together—sharing looks across rooms, laughing through boring classes, and slowly building a rhythm that feels suspiciously like a relationship no one has labeled yet. 

  Piper becomes Conrad’s handler by accident; Conrad becomes a teenager on purpose.

  Slow burn. Best friends first. Canon-adjacent progression into an almost-relationship.

  • the kids are aged up a little so Piper and Conrad are like seventeen eighteen ish and the other kids are like fourteen to seventeen ish
  • the other kids aren't in this part as much but they'll get bigger roles later don't worry
  • I do not believe it's realistic for Conrad and Hellion to be enemies during his whole tenure at I.N.S.A.N.E.
  • especially considering he was the first kid there and Hellion is so obsessed with having control
  • Kneeling
  • Conditioning
  • Psychological Warfare
  • emotional quasi-incest? nothing graphic EVER and nothing literal but Hellion is Conrad’s mother figure and she’s weird with him

  Summary

  Conrad Harrington has always been the genius, the weapon, the problem I.N.S.A.N.E. doesn’t know how to solve. Hellion has always been the one who does know how—who molded him, trained him, broke him, and called it love.

  At eighteen, Conrad is powerful enough to be feared, fragile enough to be controlled, and obedient enough to kneel the moment Hellion snaps her fingers. His childhood programming has calcified into devotion and dependency.

  Enter Piper McCloud— chaotic, bright, reckless, and impossible to categorize. She’s the first person Conrad can’t outthink. The first person who doesn’t want to use him. The first person who sees the boy beneath the programming.

  And Hellion hates her for it.
