CHERRY GARCIA!

was the most empathetic person in the world.

She'd always been insistent on saving people in any way she could. Her extra time was spent volunteering at animal shelters and doing fundraisers. She prided herself on being the positivity in a world that had none.

At points, her kindness was overbearing, like it was physically impossible for her to not let compliments slip from her mouth.

She was honestly sort of a pushover. What was worse, was that she did it herself.

Luck loomed over her shoulders. She seemed so happy to be alive, she practically skipped everywhere. Her hugs were always warm.

It made the most sense that she was a superhero. She'd developed unnatural abilities at the age of seven years old and that'd changed the trajectory of her life.

She'd upheld every standard and lived by every rule. Cherry Garcia was a guardian, protecting her city from anybody who wanted to do its people harm.

Colby Madden wanted to be the opposite, more than anything. He was the son of two super villain parents, and the only one in his family who hadn't developed any powers yet.

Just when he thought he might get close to his dream, his parents went on the run, moving towns and changing their names to hide from Onyx, the leader of all villains.

Every single day of his life, he'd watched his entire family go off and commit crimes, while he stayed at home alone.

It seemed as though he'd never get his turn. He'd never fit in with his family. It was the one thing he wanted. As soon as it seemed like maybe he had that chance, he had to hide away.

The opportunity everyone in his family had gotten but him was torn away. He'd spent his entire life waiting for something that now would never come.

His heart ached for the cruelty, for the harshness of the life he'd seen everyone else get.

He wanted that for himself, and he'd do anything to get it, to even get a slight hint of what that life would've felt like.
