"Were you holding back? The entire time?" "So what if I was?" - Superhero and supervillain conflicts in Brisbane aren't unusual, and Eddy Chen knows this quite well after witnessing his retired mother defending the city for years. It's his mission to continue her legacy as one of the legends of the National Hero Agency, but the only person who is in his way of achieving this goal is the mysterious Firebird, an enigma that Eddy is desperate to figure out. Balancing his conservatory life and the assignments from the True Agency has never been more difficult for Brett Yang. Driven by lingering bitterness from the past, he will do anything to prove to the public that the National Hero Agency isn't as heroic as they claim to be. There is someone who will do anything to stop him though - the Ice Prince himself - and Brett is more than ready to destroy him using whatever means possible. - Inspiration from damianwayneprotectionsquad on Tumblr. Contains major character death, expletives, and depictions of violence.

"How did you find this place?" Zia asked the King, speaking for the first time since entering the tent. "I've been searching for the location of your Headquarters for months- years, really." Donathan admitted. "We only found it when we got wind that two new recruits would be coming here today. My men tailed them here this morning and sent for me as soon as they were certain of the location." The tent was silent. Finally Arch said thoughtfully, "You say you come to negotiate?" The King nodded. "Very well, then," Arch said, "I will oblige. If I do answer your plea, can I insure that this camp and all those who live in it will remain protected and untouched?" Donathan nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, I believe you can." "And," he went on, "can I trust that this place will remain secret to the outside world?" "My men are sworn into secrecy," the King assured him. Arch fell silent once again. This quiet seemed to last longer than all the others. Zia wanted to know what he would say, and His Highness and Jay appeared to be in the same boat. "Very well, then," Arch said, stretching forth his hand for the King to shake. "When shall we sort out the details?" Cover made by the incredibly talented @italychick

Completed✔️ Disclaimer: I wrote this when I was 15 so it is a bit cliché, and many mistakes in the story:) All Brooklyn's life, she's been more of a boy than a girl. She's only ever lived with her single dad and her three older brothers, which means she was bound to grow up more like them. So, when she moved all the way from New York to Tennessee, it wasn't much of a surprise until she met Alex, the one of many popular boys at the high school. Until she realized that Alex decided to make her life a living hell. Well, that's what Brooklyn thought, at least... ___ "He leaned in and put a hand behind my head to kiss me, leaving me frozen and speechless. Almost instinctively, after a moment of processing, I stood on my tippy toes and replaced my fingers in his hair, my other hand on his neck. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, replacing my hunger for food, as he pressed me against a vacant wall. Without a word, he lifted me up while my legs wrapped around his waist, leaning in closer to him, even after there was no more space to fill."
