But then came the invasion day, when the people in black suits and cloaks tore through the city with weapons and technology that no one had ever seen.

Cleo and Jules were two of these people. With their newfound abilities, both make a decision - Jules wants to use his powers to save others, while Cleo has to use her powers for something far more personal. Soon enough, they have new identities, new lives, and are known as the Hero and the Villain of the city...but how will they both juggle having two different lives, and lying to their best friend about their odd disappearances?
