Fade by darkestnightskies

Not every villain wanted to be the bad guy. Maria Green's life has been one disaster after another. First it was her abusive parents, then it was developing teleportation, then purposely orphaning herself which took her straight into DCFS custody. Well, maybe the teleportation wasn't so bad. After choosing to run away to escape a group home, Maria and her foster sisters find themselves homeless in New York. Things take a turn when they're caught by a boy they pickpocketed and are forced into a gang. Maria's got one job, keep herself alive and use her powers to help steal or she can die. Simple, right? Maybe not when a guy dressed like a cat decides to insert himself in your criminal activites. Trapped in a deadly fight between hero and villian, there is only one right side. The question is, can Maria figure out which one it is before its too late?

You wish this was you, huh? ( slasher headcanons & oneshots ) by SERIALKILLUH1996

For Lonely readers willing to marry, worship, and devote their existence to fictional serial killers who would mercilessly rip their lungs out with no second thought.

Paratix Files: The Journal of Eric Redmond by MalakiJSmith

In late 1999, neuroscientist Dr. James Ferno unlocked 100% of his brain through a breakthrough fusion of machines and spiritual practices. Armed with superhuman abilities, he founded Paratix, a tech company that changed the world. Ferno's inventions cured cancer, halted global warming, and eventually he created the Paratix NeuroChip-a device that could restore sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and even surpass smartphones in its capabilities with its many upgrades. But behind his world-saving genius lies a hidden agenda that even conspiracy theorists only whisper of. In 2020, high schooler Eric Redmond uncovers the unsettling truth behind Dr. Ferno's rise to power. Tied to the long-lost vigilante group, the Trenchcoat Demons, Eric is forced to make a life-altering decision: escape the control of the Paratix Chip and those around him, or kill Dr. Ferno and gamble with the fate of humanity.

Shadow forged: A Weapons Reckoning by MirandaNyalela

"The streets ran crimson that night, a morbid familiarity in our world of shadows. Though just a child, I was already acquainted with the stench of blood and betrayal. My mother's demise had unleashed a maelstrom of pain and suffering, a demino effect that left me as the forgotten pawn, the one that no one dared to claim. Yet, I remembered everything: every face, every name, every wound. The memories seared into my mind like a branding iron, fueling my unyielding resolve. I would make them pay, no matter the cost. In the depths of darkness I found my saviour, my tormentor. Xandros, the man who pulled me from the abyss, who bestowed upon me a name, a purpose. His guidance was my solace, his approval my sustenace. But I knew the truth- I was a weapon, forged in the fire of my own suffering, destined to unleash havoc upon the world."

Lie Like a Villain by avadel

When your entire life has been a lie, who do you trust? * * * If you'd asked Jason Williams about his life, he would have told you it was fairly normal. Sure, his family moves at least once a year, and yes, his teenage sister needs a full-time caretaker -- not that it's any of your business. Except then his parents get captured by the police, and right before, his mom reveals three things: 1. His last name is not Williams 2. Absolutely no one can be trusted 3. His sister must be protected at all costs Add a gunshot wound, a fiery ex-gang member, and powers no one can explain, and you get trouble bigger than Jason can take on alone. But when anyone could be an enemy, just who do you turn to for help? * * * Updates on Thursdays and Mondays Add it to your library to get notifications!
