"The knot in my chest tightened as I further realized my situation. I was sitting in a spinny chair, in my room, across from a murderer. Someone who's wanted by the police. The bad guy. The villain. 

And he just crashed through my window."

✦

In Charity Preston's lit up, home town in New York, the most violent crime committed had been the occasional mugging or car accident. And, if you're really unlucky, a murder every few months. 

At least, it had been until the Supers started showing up and reeking havoc on the busy streets, much to NYPD's dismay. Unsurprisingly, all those with abilities were forced to make a decision: stay in the shadows, become a hero, or become a villain.

When the city's best hero goes MIA and a brand new, all powerful super villain shows up in his place, it becomes pretty clear to everyone that 'missing in action' might just turn out to really be 'killed in action'. 

One shattered window, an infuriatingly rude Super who can't seem to leave her alone, and a few stunning discoveries later, and Charity just couldn't help but let the questions bubble to the surface. 

Who would you choose to be? The Hero, or the Villain?

SHREDDED LEASH

14 parts Ongoing Mature

Super power abilities formed between the years 1926-1928, and it is now 2029, there were six societies in this world with that information. Civilians, crooks, those who simply walked the other way, heros, villains, and last of all, vigilantes. Most hero and villain identities were publicly known, but there was only one society where no one could really be identified, the vigilantes. If an accident happened and if someone's identity got out, they were found dead within the next week, registered as 'suicide' in the police files. But everyone knew the victims never took their own lives, no one questioned it either, for the fear of the most powerful society was bigger than their love for their lost ones. You're the vigilante society's leader, and frenemies with the villain society leader. You happened to noticed her personal 'assistant', the usual guard/lap dog servant type, a violent one at that. You never paid the mutt any kind of attention, until you saw who, or exactly what he really was...
