@Deadrekt I would also love to see another story set in this universe. In particular, a prequel detailing the beginnings of Howard and Abby’s relationship (the events between chapters one and two of Omega: Family) would be amazing to read.

Oh my god, the experience reading all the stories in the Omega series is just brilliant. I love the fact that these stories aren't just fetish baits and the amount of effort you and Ackbar have put into the series is simply brilliant. The character development on characters like Bridget and Claire in your other story simply awesome. I just love these characters so much, Bridget, Claire, Jenna, Melody, Lexi all of them. The part I love the most is the relative dynamic of how Omega's are so kind and gentle with the Beta's even though they're technically gods to them. I really really hope you continue with this story or any new Omega spinoff because these are some of the best work anywhere on this site, simply amazing work.
Date: February 25 2024 2:45 PM Title: Break I think that a good therapy for both sisters could be a meeting with "that child" again. If we look at the facts, they remained unfinished for Tyler. I mean, Lexi was lucky enough to find a family but Nathaniel wasn't and it was brutally taken from him which led to the events of Inheritance. Always caused by lack of understanding and hatred. I think that if Lexi wants to get her mother off her back and put a tombstone over her image, she has to forgive Nathaniel and vice versa. Maybe it's the only way for that persistent voice, no doubt produced by the hatred and mental nails her mother placed on her in her conversation in Jenna's tank, to go away. It's just my opinion but as Lexi thought trying to correct errors with more errors has not exactly produced the expected results.I think that is approaching the conclusion of this story that has kept us in suspense for more than 8 years. I hope it's not the end of the Omega universe either. I am not such a good writer but I would like this universe not to die, it is very good and gives us a good message. Keep it up Jack.

What does Lexi have to be sorry about?

Wow, what an emotional chapter! Great to finally get back into this story, thanks for writing more!

I really hope you continue this story someday. I really got into the plot, and I want to see what happens next!!

Certainly a chapter full of a lot of tension. God, you could feel the pressure on Lexi as those three looked at her. And then the presence of Alma's ghost in Lexi's mind. It was an exciting chapter, well written. Keep it up, Jack.

Oh wow, this time it's for real. The advanced part of that book is… oh my Kayla. This is getting very serious. Lexi is considering sending her sister to her...? No, it can't be, it's just the nightmare in chapter 2. Although that time in the palette, Bridget did something similar. But if Lexi really does it, it would be I think... the encouragement that Omega would need or what would definitely end their relationship. I like how Bridget compares her sister to a real Enforcer without having passed a course on it. That meeting with Jenna... umm, could it be that she gave her some recommendations :D?. Nah, just kidding. What I mean is that progressively Lexi's thinking is more like that of an Omega.

Lexi is having less problems going through with this then I thought she would. I wonder if comparisons to her mom are gonna start creeping back into her head, even though she seemed to have conquered those demons. There's risk in being too comfortable with the punishment, even though Bridget is functionally impervious.
Still not convinced this is accomplishing anything useful. I hope it either goes off the rails in some way or Bridget has some other, hidden purpose for these sessions.
It's kinda interesting that Lexi comes across like a true believer in the Omega justice system. She really thinks this might work. It makes sense why Omegas would be dogmatic because of the Fire, but Lexi is more surprising.

First of all, this story is incredible! Really makes you think!
Second, I wonder if Bridget will realize the truth of the pain she inflicted on Lexi.
The way I see it, the physical punishments were brutal, but the part that must hurt the most is how quickly Lexi’s family believed in her guilt. They never truly stood up for her. That hurts more than any physical pain, and can’t be made up for with this “eye for an eye” approach.
If anything, I would see Lexi getting more pissed at Bridget for this. Her actions are selfish and ultimately misguided.

Well, it wasn't as big as I supposed would be Bridget's manual. And from what I can see it is only the beginning. I would have liked Lexi to follow Bridget's instruction and go to the advanced part if was only for a moment. I mean... if the columns of Did you know? rom the Beginners area horrified Lexi I imagine she would faint if she read the horrors committed by Alphas that gave rise to these advanced punishments. Well if Lexi can't lean on Evelyn I guess she could trade some experiences with Jenna, you know... Enforcer to Enforcer. The most enthusiastic Enforcer in all of Aegis with the first and only Alpha Enforcer in all of Aegis history. Hahaha it's a joke.
In retrospect considering the manual I would say that Bridget was soft with Lexi not doing more damage than necessary or at least that's what I understood. It was still huge but I guess this last consideration will somehow affect Lexi's determination. Let's see what happens in the session.

Bridget is acting awfully selfish here. Yeah, Lexi said she'd do anything, but this is taking advantage of that in a pretty messed up way. She knows how much it'll hurt Lexi to go through with this. Threatening to let a random Alpha punish her in order to coerce Lexi is beyond the pale.
I feel like Bridget is (unwittingly?) trying to take the easy way out here, which is strange to say about someone who is willing to go through hundreds of odd little torture sessions She's still focusing on what happened between her and Lexi, instead of focusing on why it happened. I hope this plan of hers backfires somehow. I could easily see this leading to Lexi having an emotional breakdown, potentially forcing a conversation where they finally have to tackle the real issue head-on.
Author's Response: It's very reasonable to wonder at this point whether Bridget is doing something right or wrong here, or for the correct reasons. Guess we'll have to see.

Oh, wow. It is what we imagined. I start to think and when I read this it reminds me of Melody's case with her sister Ashley. The Omega was unable to do what the Aegis Enforcers did. And yet she reluctantly had to discipline her sister. Bridget launched a spear at her sister. Do you prefer someone else to do it? WOW Although good in theory if that happened that Alpha would have to be caught and placed with an Omega. Oh Lexi what a titanic task, you will have to suffer what Bridget suffered doing this or worse. Since at least your sister did it thinking that she imparted justice but in your case... you don't have that escape. Who knows if the remedy will be worse than the disease.
The other funny thing is that Lexi studies Bridget's manual. A document known only to Aegis Enforcers in its preparation. But could Lexi read it? I mean, there are no issues like the size of the book? The Omega books must be huge in size for an Alpha. Someone would have to help Lexi with this task. And good to recommend Lexi to focus only on Class C sanctions lest the A is read and the unthinkable happens. :)
I would like to know what Lexi's acquaintances think of this. Especially Evelyn. Or will she stay secret? Let's see.
Author's Response: At least some of these considerations you have are answered in the next chapter. Thanks for reading.

Damm suspense XD... Jack you are killing us here :)

The suspense again... this is getting more and more interesting. Will Bridget ask Lexi to give her a session? But Lexi doesn't know how to inflict "pain that causes empathy with those you hurt." She got over that pain when she was out for two years. Not to mention that inflicting that pain on her sister is…so hard for her. Let's see what it will be in the next chapter.
Author's Response: These are definitely fair considerations to have, if Lexi was put in a position like that.

I read the whole thing in one sitting. A masterfully poignant follow-up!

I'm sure Kayla answered Bridget's call right away because she still feels guilty about the whole situation It’s her organization that fucked up, after all. It does make me wonder if there have there been any institutional changes to Aegis. I doubt this is the first time an innocent person has been punished (Omegas and Kayla aren't omniscient) and it certainly won’t be the last without any changes. This whole situation might have been avoided if Omegas didn't play the role of judge, jury, and (metaphorical) executioner without any sort of trial or accountability. I have a dogshit memory, so maybe changes to Aegis were covered in a different story.
I'm a bit surprised Bridget didn't want to be a Beta permanently. If she were, she would never again be able to hurt someone like she did. I guess that might be too drastic, even considering the severe guilt she's carrying.
Bridget is clearly gonna ask Lexi to do something drastic. Maybe put her through a session and don’t go easy on her? Although Lexi isn’t trained for that. And it would be pretty messed up to ask Lexi to torture her beloved sister. But Lexi did say she’d do anything. And Bridget did say “it should’ve been me”. I dunno, feels like an option that's on the table. I'm not sure what it would fix, though. The underlying issue of the whole situation is the betrayal of trust Bridget inflicted, which hasn't been addressed at all yet. There's just no way the healing can be complete until it is.
Author's Response: Good thoughts to have. I can't speak to any specific changes that might've happened at Aegis as a result of the events of Inheritance, so you haven't missed anything. Bridget's definitely building up to something here.
