Dusk was a dangerous time.
But then, everything was dangerous these days. Being alive was dangerous. Having a Power was dangerous, but not having one was even more so. Love - even that was dangerous. It exposed you, made you vulnerable.
And this is where my story begins: at dusk, in a dangerous time and place, and with a dangerous, practically unthinkable, desire. I wanted my brother back. And I was going to get him back, from the Powers who had taken him.

Superhuman: a story on new found family
As an optimistic person, I've always believed that I am destined for great things. Turns out one of those "great things" would include moving into a house filled with men (or boys, you be the judge) blessed with freakish powers that are beyond human nature. Second would be to find myself enjoying the presence of a moody, intelligent scientist (or was it engineer? No idea!) who'd spend his days building robots and suits. This is the story of how I got my found family.Complete
Leonessa

She had it all figured out. Well until the authorities found out she was a minor with no gaurdian, which is kinda against the law. Lol. And so she was taken to find if she had any living relatives. A waste of time really. What she didn't expect though, was to find out that she had 5 brothers! Some crazy shit if you ask her. They harbour some shady secrets, but Leonessa does too, so who gets to judge who here? What will happen during this journey with Leonessa and her newly found brothers with a rainbow of personalities?

Siblings
[Completed] There's three of us. Triplets. We all have each other's backs. There's me, Maeve. The one with red eyes. People call me a murder. Satan. Evil. Anything really.

Even if they don't realize it. Even if they think I was the big bad monster. To the world, I was a cold heartless monster but to my siblings? I was loving sister. I was there if one of them have a nightmare. I'm there for them. There's Damien. The oldest out of us. He's the one with white eyes. The one who people who also call Satan and evil and all of that bullshit. You ever wonder if those goddamn bullies got tired of bullying other people? I do. Not the point, stay focused Maeve. What was I saying? Oh right, Damien. He likes cars. Building, tearing them apart, spray painting them, anything about cars. Then there's Angel. Sweet, sweet Angel. She's the youngest out of the group. She has blue eyes, different from us. She's the lucky one, per say. The one who doesn't get bulled. She has the personality like a five year old but we love her to pieces. Me and Damien try to protect her against the evil's of the world. She shouldn't go through that like we did. At least she has a normal childhood, or some part of normal. We didn't have the best childhood growing up. Well, me and Damien didn't. Mother gave Angel the best childhood she ever wanted. Sometimes, only sometimes when she was drunk or whatever with her stupid boyfriend did she punish Angel. That was once every blue moon. She was convinced me and Damien had Satan in us. While Angel, well she thought that Angel was an angel from Heaven. Now, let me stop rambling. This story will be an emotional roller coaster.
