But despite their differences, Serena and Jake find an unlikely connection, forming a strange but undeniable friendship. As they navigate their own personal struggles, they begin to challenge each other's boundaries and unravel the patterns they've built around themselves.

Anti hero by bob-steve

Hetty wants nothing to do with heroes. Three years after her mother mysteriously vanished, she's been stuck with her abusive father, who takes his anger out on her. She despises everything about heroes-their fame, their perfection, the way the world worships them. She's content being the class mean girl, pushing everyone away. But when a new superhero transfers to her school, everything changes. Hetty discovers she has powers of her own-and that her mother wasn't just any hero, but one of the greatest to ever live. Her entire bloodline is legendary. Now, she's invited to join an elite academy for heroes, a place where everyone expects her to follow in her mother's footsteps. But Hetty isn't her mother. As a high-stakes competition looms, she must decide: will she embrace the hero's path others have set for her, or forge her own destiny-even if it means becoming something the world fears? Some heroes are born. Others are made. Hetty? She was never meant to be either. Warning* includes abuse, self harm, suicide attempt, and bad language
