In City California, Duggan Masters is a living legend. As the criminal Light Master, he has ascended the ranks to become the undisputed overlord of all crime in City. Yet "the game" ceases to have meaning after City's greatest hero, Miracle Man, vanishes without a trace. Left with only the local police to foil his plots, Light Master grows increasingly lethal, and the joy of killing has been lost.
So Duggan does what any criminal overlord would do: he kidnaps Dr. Wallace Cornwall, a famous "psychiatrist to the heroes" and writer of a best selling self help book for heroes, Our Masks, Our Selves. Duggan introduces Wallace to Leona, a genetically engineered assassin who has turned to working part-time as a "cat burglar", and part-time as a serial killer.
Wallace talks Duggan and Leona into retirement, but Duggan has one last plot to bring Miracle Man out of hiding. How far is one deranged criminal overlord willing to go for the love of his hero?

"I've been looking for you." There was an unexpected rasp to his voice, a hint of desperation. He stretched out one hand, as if to brush it across my cheek, or perhaps wrap it around my throat. Oddly enough, I didn't know which option frightened me more. *+*+*+* Lily Burdett has an unfortunate gift for getting herself into tricky situations, but her luck is especially bleak the day she finds herself in the destructive path of the city's premier supervillain. When he grabs ahold of her, she reacts without thinking and stabs him twice in the shoulder, only surviving the encounter thanks to a nearby hero who intervenes on her behalf. Unfortunately, her villain vows to get even. Everywhere she turns, he's there, and with each bizarre encounter more doubts fill her head as to his true intentions. *enemies to lovers/slowburnComplete
Demigod in Gotham
Nico had two goals when he moved to Gotham #1- help new demigods get to Camp #2- don't meet the Waynes He didn't have anything against the family, how could he when he was only told about them the day before he moved, but he had heard about the serial adoption of black haired kids. He already had a strained relationship with his father, he didn't need a second one. -------- As Nico sat in the park with the random boys he befriended, he finally felt normal. They didn't know who his father was; hell, they thought his father was dead. He was quite literally the most free he had been since Italy and even then, it was under Mussolini at the time so that was a bit of a stretch. The calm seemed universal throughout the group until Tim's phone rang. "Oh shit, it's Bruce." Immediately all of them were on alert scanning the surrounding area while Tim talked on the phone, panic in his eyes. "He was on the other side of the park for a walk between meetings and saw a picture of us walking in the park online," Tim said as soon as he hung up. "Wait wait wait" Nico said as Jason looked like he was preparing to literally throw him into the tree. "Bruce as in Bruce Wayne? You're the Wayne's?! And why are you acting like he's gonna shoot me on sight?" "He's gonna shoot adoption papers at you." Damian mumbled, once again begrudgingly reviving a high five from Tim and Dick. Jason just rolled his eyes as he made his hands a step for Nico to get in the tree. "Yes we're the Wayne's. How do you know of us, but not have a clue what we look like?" Nico climbed onto the lowest branch that was a good six feet off the ground. "I was technically homeless until a few months ago and just got a phone last month, sue me for never seeing a picture," he said in a whisper yell before continuing to scale the tree. -------- Daily updates at 12:15am ESTComplete

Now, the entire kingdom is on edge. Who is this mysterious boy? How did he defeat the princess without lifting a finger? And most importantly, why does he seem completely uninterested in power?

"Then why does everyone you meet end up completely devoted to you?" "...Coincidence?"Complete
Symbol of Hope
He was created for one purpose: to kill Superman should he stray. To replace him should he perish. But in a world that has never known Superman, what is a weapon without its target? In a desperate bid for freedom, Superboy breaks free of Cadmus only to be torn from the very world that he had known and hurled into the chaotic and unrelenting landscape of Earth Bet. He crashes into a reality unlike anything he's ever known, a world fractured by conflict, ruled by capes, bound by rules he cannot fathom and threatened by enemies far stronger than himself. His arrival is cataclysmic. A city left burning in the wake of his battle against Blockbuster, the monstrous scientist who created him. Superboy's strength is immense, his power awe-inspiring, but here in a world teeming with legends, he was no God. He is a stranger. Alone, outmatched and utterly lost.

As Superboy wrestles with his place among the capes of this strange new realm, one truth looms over him; there is no Superman. In a world without Superman, hope hangs by a thread and Superboy must decide whether to break it or hold it together. -X- Just to let you know, this isn't just Worm, but also MHA and OPM combined into one.
