Society. It can be a great yet terrible thing. The Rich run it, the Poor enslaved by it. Many are discriminated by it for various reasons. Those on top are powerful and will do anything to stay powerful. They will even kill for it.
Amongst the victims of discrimination are supernaturally enabled humans.
A.K.A Supers.

I felt terror rise in me and, as another hand pulled at the knotted fabric of the blindfold at the back of my head, I closed my eyes to stop it from brushing them. Instead, it rubbed against my eyelids and lashes before it fell to the floor.
Opening my eyes, I came face-to-face with the super that held me captive.
Or what little there was to see of him.
There was a dim light being given off by a candle somewhere nearby. More filtered in from somewhere else in the room, but not much. Combine the bad lighting with the mask he was wearing, there wasn't much to see.
Only the lower half of his face was on show, the skin tan and smooth. A strong jaw, pink lips, flared nostrils and the bottom parts of his cheeks were all I was getting off this guy. The holes where his eyes watched me taking him in were filled with shadow, so I couldn't see what colour they were. A black mask covered the rest of his face, his hair was styled and dark, blending in with the shadows around us.

Adler | The Monarch & The Heirs BOOK 2.
Book Two of The Adler series ** Cassandra Lovett had pictured her summer holiday to be a break from her prep school scene filled with superficial snobs and shred her big wheels to cruise downtown, go on movie night marathons with her best friend and get up to wild, outlandish adventures. What she hadn't pictured was a brutal split between her parents spurred by a scandalous affair, getting shunned by her own so called friends and neighbours to be sent packing out to an estranged uncle further down south. As if having her whole life fall apart wasn't bad enough, she's forced to start her new one enrolled in St. Sinclair Academy; an elite school rumoured to groom the most absurdly rich and intellectual heirs of aristocrats and billionaires across Europe. Cassandra is certain her new school life is going to be the worst but what she doesn't know is that she'd stumbled into the domain of the most infamous clique highly esteemed not on the academy grounds but at the pinnacle of the elite society, The Monarch. They were the last people anyone dared to oppose, rivalled to no other and envied to no end and they ruled St. Sinclair. Most importantly, powerful people like them were meant to be a myth, but what Cassandra would soon learn was that the world she lost was the actual fairytale- this, was the truth. ** This CANNOT be read as a standalone. There will be reappearances of characters from the first book, mentions of previous incidents and yeah, I think you get the gist.Complete
Lightning without Thunder
ONC entry for 2024. Prompt 49: Being a superhero is just too boring. Let's be a villain! 15-years-old Marissa Everstar makes a Faustian bargain to receive superpowers, in the hope they will make her famous. But when being a superhero turns out to mainly involve boring work that does not get her the immediate popularity she craves, she shifts gears and becomes a villain. Trigger warning: contains descriptions of physical and emotional abuse, blood and gore. Excerpt from chapter 2: I carefully begin pouring the white powder onto the floor, drawing a large pentagram. I spend a lot of time on the intricate details, making sure everything is perfect. The summoning circle quite small, but it will have to do. I clap my hands twice and hear a soul-crushing scream that appears to pierce my body to its core. Hearing the sound fills my stomach with butterflies and gives me a fuzzy feeling. I haven't heard a single sound in almost a year. Following the scream, a shadowy figure emerges. He appears deep black, littered with stars, as if a human-like shape has been carved out of the universe, but also strangely transparent, as if made of glass. His long arms end in clawed fingers, and his ears and horns are goat-like in appearance. On his back are two bat-like wings. He speaks in a deep voice-the only one I've heard in a long time. "Mortal, why have you awoken me from my slumber?"Complete
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.Complete

I tried to push him away but he growled at me and held me so I couldn't move. I brought my leg up and kicked him in the family jewels. Bending down I whisper in his ear, "don't mess with me sweetheart and never call me yours." He growled lowly. "Oh you also might want to get a cough drop for that throat of yours," with that I walked off and swayed my hips back and forth. ~~~ Read this book to find out what happens!

They wouldn't do this to me! They wouldn't abandon me!" I stumbled to the bed to hold on to something, anything. In the tussle with the two brutes, equipment was strewn throughout the room, including a metallic bed pan. In the vague reflective surface, I saw two red lights staring back at me. Frantically, I scavenged the room for a mirror but only found a glass cupboard door and saw my face clearly. No. Not my face. Her face. It was my features but none of my color. The skin was smooth. Too smooth and white. Colorless, in fact. Except for when my veins began pumping brighter and brighter the more panicked I became. My once grey eyes were now a burning red. My short hair, long. This wasn't my reflection. This was a monster. A demon. I fell to my knees and held my face in my hands as fire began erratically bursting from my skin, only terrifying me more. I felt a hand gently pull my hand from my face and held it tight. I looked up to see Luthor, the surprise calming my sporadic flames. His face was genuinely sad even as he winced from my heat. "Darling, don't fall apart," he whispered. "What am I?" I pleaded, still on the brink of tears. "A god among men." --- Spotify playlist link in profileComplete
Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.Complete

The law is the law...maybe
Magnus narrowed his eyes. "You're using your concerned voice, which I hate." "You're getting a partner." Magnus sat up straight. "What the fuck, Ragnor?" "I know, I know," Ragnor said, holding up a hand. "Just hear me out. He's transferred from Los Angeles and nearly got himself fired. His father's an old friend of mine - Capt. Lightwood. I've known the kid since he was in diapers. He's a good cop. Smart. Passionate. But... a bit of a loose cannon. Kind of like someone else I know, back when they used to wear more eyeliner than sense." *** The first week had been... rough. They were both stubborn, with completely different work ethics, which had left its mark on their first days together. On top of that, Magnus was still upset about having cut his vacation short. They started with easy jobs - like the occasional drunk who thought urinating in a public fountain was a protest against capitalism. Magnus breezed through the days with detours into half the bars and cafés in the borough, calling them "informant check-ins." Alec called them "wasting police resources" under his breath. The second week was a tiny bit better. By the third week, they even laughed. Many thanks go to my lovely beta, Nurisiliel , who helped me a lot with editing 💗 and tirelessly corrects my unnecessary spacing, my overuse of capitals, or lack of them, and my sometimes messy sentences. You are a gem. English is not my first language, so please go easy on me. Please don't compare the characters with the characters in Cassandra Claire's books. In my story, you will only find references to the TV show. (I don't own any of the characters. All belong to Cassandra Claire. The story is my own.)
