Riley Comeau has terrible luck. Lightbulbs shatter in his presence, stoves catch on fire (more so than usual) and microwaves explode. He doesn't have superpowers--at least, that's what everyone tells him. When an old acquaintance unexpectedly invites Riley to join a fraternity with three other guys, he expects a little chaos. What he doesn't expect is to witness a superhero emerging for the first time in Astral City, nor does he expect to have to take matters into his own hands. But life with a secret identity might give him the boost he needs to finish his research for university, while slowly bringing him closer to the one hero who Riley can't seem to resist. * Cover by @newsies- !! *

I kick my legs wildly in the air as Theo restrains me, quickly moving deeper into the alley. Panic spreads through every fiber of my being until I feel like I'm going to pass out. He's going to kill me. He's going to torture me in this alley and slit my throat. Still thrashing in Theo's arms, my back pressed flush against his chest, I can do nothing as he moves behind a dumpster so we can't be easily seen from anybody passing the alley. My head is pounding from terror, right where he hit me yesterday, creating a throbbing pain that is nearly blinding. The second we're behind the dumpster, he releases me just long enough to spin me around. Before I have time to blink, he's got me pinned against the brick wall with his body, one hand still covering my mouth and the other on my waist. Without hesitation, I shove him as hard as I can, but he only takes a half step back. I go to shove him again, blind fear coursing through my blood, but he just releases my waist and catches my wrists in a giant hand, pushing me back against the wall. I'm about to try to knee him in the groin when he hisses down at me. "Would you cut that out? I'm trying to help you here, you little psycho." My head snaps upward at the voice and my heart skips a beat. I go completely still as I stare into a pair of very irritated dark brown eyes. It isn't Theo. It's Will. _______ She only knows how to lie, and he can't be lied to. When 17 year old Bia Barlowe accidentally fakes her own death, she decides to use it as an opportunity to escape her abusive foster home and track down her sister, Claire, who she was separated from four years ago. Along the way, Bia meets Will, a guarded yet charming 18 year old boy on the run from his mysterious past who wants to help Bia for undisclosed reasons. When Claire is kidnapped by unknown attackers, Bia and Will must race to save her before time runs out. The catch? The kidnappers want Bia, too. And they'll kill anybody in their way to get her.
