Unto Shadows

"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?
