He lowered his eyes, as if to say sorry.
"Unfortunately, your powers cannot be taken away, but they can be controlled and harnessed to do some good in this country. I can help you, if you'd like. You don't have to be a hero if you don't want to, but you should at least learn to control your gifts in a safe environment."
"And why should we trust you?" Theo countered. Indi elbowed him in the ribs, scolding him for being so abrupt and rude. Maddix glared at his brashness, but she had to agree with him. They had no reason to trust this stranger.
"Because," Everett said with a hopeful face, "I just saved your lives." He had a good point. "Besides, you are all a lot more dangerous than I am."
**********************************
Power is a raw, untamable commodity that few can control. Even fewer are granted such potential. But those who are granted such capability must be wary.
This has become the reality for six teenagers living in Dorlos, a country held in a malevolent king's iron grip. They cannot risk exposing themselves by using their powers but, under masks, they are able to save people's lives and hopefully, save their beloved homeland from continual danger. To their dismay, this one power outlet could prove to be their downfall.
They are suddenly thrust into a world of lies, secrets, and betrayal. With enemies in every direction, they are forced to live by one simple rule: kill or be killed. Will they buckle under the pressure or stand strong? It is a fight for complete power, and they are stuck in the middle of it.

"I LOVED IT" - Clumsy_weirdo_353 "So your sister likes to get drunk and beat up guys twice her size," Taylor said, her eyes closed. "Yup." A beat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." Another slice of silence. "So you really can fight," she said. "Yup." A single heartbeat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." "Cool. Cool, cool, cool." Taylor squinted at him, his outward calm mystifying. "You're taking this a lot better than I imagined," she said. He shrugged, but like a bomb, he exploded. "Holy- You can teleport!" Taylor nodded once with the inevitable.

Heroes at Heart
"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business." Max Owens is your average high school sophomore. Well, he tries to be, at least. At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly. Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they? We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart. (Based on a writing prompt / story request by tumblr user "fallingivy")Complete
Spies In Love
I stopped just as the tip of her sword touched my chest. "You're quite the fighter, aren't you? How did you manage to kill them without bloodshed." I asked, smirking. She narrowed her eyes at me. "I'm not answerable to you and if you're so curious then keep up with this act and you'll soon find out."

The Superior Rebirth: A Hero's Awakening
He was stolen before he could be named. Experimented on before he could walk. And somewhere in the shadows - an enemy has been watching him ever since. Xavier didn't choose this life. He didn't choose the prophecy, the power, or the war closing in around him. What he did choose - what he chooses every single day - are the ideals his father gave him: that love is worth dying for, and that protecting others is reason enough to keep standing. But the force hunting Xavier's world has been preparing for decades. Patient. Methodical. Always smiling. Its ambition doesn't stop at conquest or empire - it reaches for godhood itself, for the power to rewrite reality and remake the world in the image of one man's vision. A world where only the worthy survive. Where he alone decides what worthy means. One boy carrying his father's ideals. One genius who believes his vision justifies every cost. And between them - a question that cuts deeper than any blade: Is Xavier a hero because fate decided he would be? Or because he chose to be, despite everything it costs him? The Superior Rebirth is a dark fantasy epic about heroism, love, sacrifice, and the difference between the destiny you're handed and the one you carve out yourself - set against the smoke and ambition of an industrial age where power is the only currency that matters. This is not a story about becoming powerful. It is a story about becoming worthy of the people who believed in you.
