Chandler Chase remembers a lot of things about her mother: the way her chin would jut out; how she felt about responsibility; how much she despised the superheroes of Atlas City. After a terrorist attack leaves Chandler's mother dead and Chandler to live with her eternally absent ex-superhero father, she's more than upset -- she's helpless, lost, and alone. For most, there would be nothing to do but wallow inside all day, watching politicians in masks on TV. For Chandler, there's a completely separate option. Armed with a twelve-dollar mask and a fanny pack covered with astronaut kittens, and aided by fellow super teenagers who are each equally tired of the current status quo -- not to mention a very, very cute girl with enough sass to power all of Atlas -- Chandler sets out to do the impossible: be what a superhero should be.

**Cover done by @victoria_arose ** !ONC Ambassador's pick! Angels are good and demons are bad. Right? Perhaps Terra just read too much into stereotypes, though. For as long as she could remember, her guardian angel, Marvik, was anything but holy and innocent. If it weren't for the demon on her other shoulder, however, Terra would have to agree with those stereotypes. Marvik and Sazorac did their honest best in leading Terra through life, but they didn't always advise in an ideal way. All she wanted was to make it through college and find a decent job. Through every step of the way, with her two relentless supernatural overseers, progressing forward each day was as treacherous as the last. ------------------------------ Based on the Open Novella Contest prompt #47: An angel obsessed with chaos and a law-abiding demon debate over who's good and who's evil. As you might expect, that debate gets out of control.
