Harlan has a unique power, one that makes him see things others cant, and therefore got him thrown in an asylum when he was only a child. Now he's a reluctant hero, thrust into the profession since he lacked any other option. He's amazing at his job, and six years into his work, is the sidekick to one of the most notable heroes of his generation: Lavina. Unfortunately, he also hates being a hero, but there's one thing that makes it worth it. The numbered. A series of villains who appeared out of nowhere and have an exceptional skill at avoiding the law, heroes, and just generally winning or evading consequences. Consequences, which are the only part of Harlan's job he enjoys. Harlan wants to find the root of it all more than anything, and he's beginning to get close. He intends to find out at any cost. He intends to win at any cost. That, he's sure of. His drive is unmatched. Until something entirely foreign to him gets involved: Feelings. [WARNINGS: smut, gore, swearing, some heavy topics, morally grey characters (the usual)]

Parties, boys, and popularity: the only things ever on Rome's mind. Grades, work, and graduation: the only things that matter to Lucas. Rome Mendoza is the beautiful cheer captain that everyone obsesses over, out of either jealousy or lust. She has the money, the looks, and the attitude. She rather keep up her routine of toxic exes and failing classes than worry about the cute guy in her history class. Lucas Astor is the quiet outcast who no one pays much attention to. He rather hide his face in a book than take part in the teenage party life that everyone else adores. Especially when it involves the rude popular girl who has a soft spot for him. Unfortunately, life doesn't really care about what they rather do. -enemies to friends to lovers-
