Lex London, desperate to change his ways after a lifetime of crime, is living undercover in a small apartment. His already crazy life is thrown upside down when an old friend asks him to take care of Levi Richards, a young boy who admires Lex more than anyone thought was possible. A story about a thief, a hero in the making, a sarcastic companion, a wise mentor, an honest heart, and a traitor. You'll never know which is which. --- EXCERPT Lex opened the envelope, taking out a letter. "Dear Lex," he read, and scowled, "'Dear Lex'? Who does Raynold think he is?" "Inside," Levi ordered, turning Lex around and shoving him back into the apartment, before following him and slamming the door behind them. "Hey, go easy on the door-slamming!" Lex protested, "I don't want the neighbours thinking I'm a savage!" The only answer he got was another shove into the general direction of the green couch, and Lex obeyed with a resigned third sigh. "There goes my peaceful Saturday morning," he muttered to himself. He ruffled his hair again as he let himself fall onto the couch, scanning through the letter quickly while the young man hovered behind him. --- [WARNING: Cheap coffee, and maybe mild swearing] HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in coding (08-04-'19) #35 in computer(15-06-'19)

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.
