In the city famous for having an excess of superheroes, Jackson can travel to the place they are created. 

Afraid someone will use his power for evil, Jackson keeps to himself, hiding his extraordinary abilities. That is, until his high school learns he has powers. They may not know what they are, but his life is still turned upside down.

Superpowers are always connected to a place, either in our world or outside it. And Jackson's world, both in and out, is getting more complicated. A shadowy society schemes in the background from the highest levels of Vera City's government. A locked door appears in the Library of Powers. The Writing Well sends a message. And someone is watching, perhaps even orchestrating it all. Jackson, however, has bigger problems to deal with, like pop quizzes, parties, and a snooping Principal. And even for the first time in his life, friends.

Maybe, just maybe, his powers being revealed was a good thing.

The Focus Effect by JamesBevenour

I see the world through different eyes--literally. Some people would say I have it all. I'm smart, have popular friends and my parents are loaded. One deadly weekend at the family lake house changes all that. When I wake up in a strange facility in the middle of nowhere, I'm told that I'm being held for the public's safety and that I've been given a gift. I can see threads of light around objects that can be manipulated to change ordinary things into new and, sometimes, unworldly contraptions. But to call it a gift? It's actually pretty freaky. But the facility director has got to be the worst. He's completely obsessed with unlocking my abilities, not to mention he's a psychopath. To make matters worse, there's this boy I like. I just wish I knew if I could trust him or not. Or maybe the better question is--can he trust me? I almost forgot to tell you the craziest part of all. I'm radioactive.

Her future is in her sights, and she won't allow anyone or anything to stand in her way. But when Stevie mysteriously wakes up with superhuman powers, her future is suddenly in jeopardy. Desperate for answers, she searches for the one stranger she knows who can help her: a Deviate who once saved her life. Derrick "Dark" Harvard is a twenty-three-year-old Deviate with a blurry past. Living as a "freak" with glowing veins takes a toll on him day by day, scared that someone will find out his secret. When a girl who claims to be a Deviate randomly pops into Dark's life, he (defiantly) agrees to help her control her powers. But what he didn't agree to was helping her avoid being kidnapped by an evil group of Deviates that have targeted her for reasons unknown. Now Stevie and Dark must uncover the biggest mystery of their lives while avoiding Deviates with potent fire abilities. Can they find the truth before Stevie becomes a victim?

Fusion by AnonymousEnigma828

Sure, the move was bad. A whole new city across the country. The Big freakin' Apple. Then there was the fact that he had to leave all his friends and make new ones. Double bummer. But juggling his new abilities and super villains? Now there's the ride of a lifetime.

You're going to need them. ** Edit: I wrote this when I was fourteen. I've been told it's good, but personally I would not touch it with an eleven foot pole. Maybe it's me being overcritical of my old writing, but please read at your own risk. :) <3
