"Don't become the very thing that they said you were!" She screamed, her eyes wild and hair whipping across her face, through the harsh blaze of the fire that surrounded the both of us. She was trying to help. She was trying to save me, but I was far beyond redemption. " I always was." In a world where a select few of people were able to become something extraordinary,something superhuman, things were often considered to be in black and white. Either these people were destined to be helpful or harmful; there was no in between. It that very outlook that created, what mortals would call them, heroes and villains. However, there was some, some like Rozetta Evans, that couldn't fit into either category; they were labeled anti-heroes. They were looked down upon compared to the rest of the world- Heroes loathed them because they were too villainous, villains were disgusted by them because they were too heroic, and mortals feared them because they were too different. With the world against her Rozetta, better known as her alter ego Duplicity, struggled between being good and being evil. It's not until she goes on a nearly impossible quest where her very soul begins to crumble and become tainted. Now more than ever she needs to find the good within herself, but she can't do it alone. With the help from her two best friends, Tessa Peters and Darius Anderson, Rozetta must fight the darkness in her that threatens to swallow her whole. Will she be able to find the light within the darkness or was she always fated to internal damnation?

Super?

"Stop pretending to be an idiot, idiot." Ouch. It burns. "You're starting to sound like a dear old friend of mine," she adds, her tone implying that her "friend" isn't so much of a "friend" as a mortal enemy who she probably also dragged into an alley on multiple occasions. Because she must be a fan of alley-dragging. Theater major. "I bet that friend was super amazing," I retort anyway. "She'd have to be to put up with you." Oh! Snap! I grin like an idiot at my own joke, realize how uncool that is, and then quickly rearrange my face into a frown. "I'm sorry. I don't quite understand. You're supposed to be a superhero, so why are you threatening a fellow superhero? Isn't that kind of against our code or whatever?" "You don't have a code. Superheroes who follow codes don't drop off information about people's allegedly dead sons at their doorsteps and then run." Well, can't say she doesn't have a point there. -- After being framed for the horrific murder of Birchwood City's most revered superhero's six year-old son, Maya Waterman abandons her super-villain persona and finds herself lost without any sense of identity and purpose. Being hunted by a vengeful super is hard enough, but after her employer fires her and she's evicted from her apartment, Maya begins to become something she had prayed she would never become again- helpless. She needs nothing less than a miracle to save herself, and much to her surprise, she gets just that-- even if it entails her trying her hand at becoming a good guy for once.
