VICENTE-CASTANEDA
After stupid scientists planted seeds from Neptune in a lake, a generation of superheroes were born... Or, at least that's what the media tries to say.
***
After three generations of superheroes, Elijah Espinoza is in an odd spot. He's a transgender boy who just entered his first year of public school. His parents couldn't afford the local hero academy. His abilities aren't cool or flashy. He can induce delirium in people by spitting on them.
At school, he meets a repressed trans boy who's doing a bad job at convincing everyone he's just a really masculine girl. He uses his deadname in class. Only Elijah knows his real name is Saul Montoya. Saul controls water bugs and parasites.
Elijah and Saul end up the worst possible superheroes, wearing re-purposed gym clothes, and desperately trying not to stare Neptune's moons in the face too hard. Lest they are gazed upon right back.
Unfortunately for them, their geometry teacher has become a vessel for none other than Triton Himself.
