Sonic can run at the speed of sound, plus some. All she ever wanted was to live a normal life away from the publicity of her father becoming mayor . . . until now. Calico and Tornado are still off fighting secret wars for MASKED and The Marvel and Blue Archer are off fighting small crimes in Empire City . . . until now.

Can this group of misfits get along just long enough to fight off a faceless villain who might be closer to home than they'd originally thought?

"It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's just some idiot in spandex." Arabella Jones is your average American teenage girl, she even lives in one if America's most prosperous cities, Empire City, California. She's a sucker for the performing arts and owns two bookcases full of young adult novels. Well maybe she's not so much like your average American teenager. Everything in Arabella's life seems to be finally going perfect, right up until the city's most famous superhero come barging through her widow at two in the morning on a school night. All she used to have to worry about was what part she was going to get in the musical and if the boy she's been crushing on since freshman year likes her back or not. But these worries are nothing compared to her newfound super stalkers. Now it seems that the city's only hope, and her's, is a teenage boy dressed in spandex who still hasn't learned not to wear his underwear on the outside of his clothes.

su.per /ˈso͞opər/ (noun): 1. A person who shows exceptional ability or powers. 2. (Of a person who uses powers) a superhero or super villain. Xander Mendez wants nothing more than to be a superhero. Like, who wouldn't want to save their city with extraordinary superpowers? Trevor Rossi wants nothing more than to be like his father. A powerful figure with the city under his fingertips. April Watson wants nothing more than to be seen as something more than a damsel. She wants to be more than a powerless girl surrounded by righteous heroes. Celeste Moctezuma wants nothing more than to live with her career path without a certain pesky hero getting in her way. Four people all connected in a city renowned for its legendary supers. When their lives start turning into the plot of an A-list superhero movie, things go crazy. Suddenly Kingdom City has a new superhero and many new villains on their hands. Sometimes superheroes only make the world more complicated.

Xander Mendez is living the dream. He has the most amazing girlfriend in the world and is a superhero. Life could literally not be better. Trevor Rossi has been the CEO of his father's company for three months now and he's only inches away from catching his father's killer. April has been interviewing the villain X for months now and she thinks she's finally understanding how he thinks while discovering herself in the process. Celeste is finding herself falling for her study partner while also fighting for her turf with a new villain in town after her prize. Mischief is what this new villain calls himself, and he's seeming to turn into their biggest threat yet. A non-super with an array of guns and other trinkets who seems to be way too interested in Momentum and Artic Frost. And with the growing shadow of the old villain X over the citizens of Kingdom City, the stakes get even higher. And it turns out maybe they're all connected more than they thought.

Xander Mendez isn't sure he knows what's real anymore. Yesterday he was sure he was a superhero protecting Kingdom City along with friends, but now he was being told all of that was made up. Xander isn't a superhero. He's a patient in a mental institution. Everyone he thought he knew is someone else. His best friend is his short-tempered hatful roommate, the girl he loved who he saw die is his therapist, and his friend the vigilante badass is a lunatic stuck at the mental age of nine. Nothing seems right. Maybe Xander really was a mental patient. Maybe he did make it all up. Maybe he was crazy. Meanwhile, in the world Xander thinks he made up, a heinous villain is trying to take over the city with a severely addictive drug, a vigilante is having second thoughts, a hero is keeping his love and nemesis captive, and an agent is coming to terms with his past. And the city's only hope may be a speedster stuck in a prison of their own creation.

Samantha Wild isn't your normal teenager. She's fluent in five languages, a karate master, an excellent actor, and knows how to handle a gun. Oh yeah, and she's a UIA agent at the young age of seventeen. Which basically means she's the bomb. But when she gets the babysitting detail of America's sweetheart, Julia Thompson, she is devastated. The one job she never wanted to do as a spy. She'll have to go undercover as Ashely Petters and make friends with the snobby spoiled brat, so she can protect her from the possible kidnapping threat that was thrown her way. And all because the son of a mafia leader spilled one too many beans. As Samantha lives life at the prestige boarding school, she starts to notice that everything is not as it would seem to be. And maybe, just maybe, there's a traitor in her mist.

Raven Zheng is definitely not crazy. At least - that's what she tells herself. It's hard to believe that when no one else can see what you see. You see, Raven can see the dead. Ghosts, if you will. They're people who died, just looking for closure and a way to move on from this life. When Raven meets Cade Woods, she's surprised to find a person who understand what she's going through, at least a little bit. He doesn't see the dead, per se, but he's seen enough death in his life to see her point of view. And then the first body is found. Soon enough, Raven is catapulted into Cade's world. There seems to be a serial killer in town, one who has connections to Cade and his father that makes him a suspect in the murders, and Raven has no way to know whether or not he can be trusted at all, given his past and his suspicious parentage. But as the body count climbs, Raven and Cade realize that they might be the only ones with the knowledge to stop the killer, even if they have to embrace their past to do it.

Cindy Ella Woods didn't expect anything to happen when she agreed to go to the spring masquerade ball. That is, until she drops her bracelet after dancing with a masked man who happened to be Peyton Charming. Peyton Charming certainly didn't expect to dance with a beautiful stranger with only a bracelet to give a hint to her identity when she runs away from him. Did I forget to mention that Peyton just happens to be an international pop star taking a break from music so he can be a normal teenager for senior year? Did I also forget to mention that Cindy's step-sisters and Peyton’s ex will do anything to get a chance with the notorious man that she danced with? After that night, Cindy finds her world turned upside down. It seems that Peyton is obsessed with finding his ‘Cinderella’, even after a couple failed attempts.

Liv Chase might've seemed like any normal fifteen year old, well that is until you learn that she's a foster kid who's been able to read minds all her life. Only Liv's best friend Bella and her father know about Liv's gift. It's not something you'd want to flaunt around like it's a medal unless you yearn to be shipped to the looney bin. But when a mysterious new kid moves to town that Liv can't read, she is shocked an intrigued at the same time. But despite all her attempts to get close to him after a strange first encounter, he seems insistent to push her away. Soon Liv learns that there just might be more strange people like her out there and there just might be a secret ancient society out for her head. Maybe there was a reason curiosity killed the cat after all.

Oliver Storm is just your average American teenager. Well, unless you count the fact that he's actually White Lightning, sidekick to the notorious superhero Captain Impossible. But after a faulty save that leaves Captain Impossible dead, Oliver is left to be his city's savior in spandex. And following in the footsteps of Washington DC's favorite super isn't as easy as you'd think, especially when the culprit behind his death is closer than he thought.

Trying to balance saving the world and school can be hard enough, but throw in his overprotective mother and a villain by the name of Delinquent who Oliver can't shake, being a hero by day is going to be impossible.

And maybe Delinquent and Oliver have more in common than they thought. *companion novel to Damsel in Distress series*
