''When I grow up, I want to see the world!'' So says every child, one day. But much like the abyss, the world looks back.

Hyper by EmiliaCatz

Imagine waking up in a fantasy land filled with magic. No, wait, you don't need to imagine. It's already overdone. Instead, let's reverse it. Imagine a superhero, living in a Sci-Fi world, and they're coming here. A place that doesn't really need them. There aren't any supervillains (I said SUPER), and they're faced with the hardest challenge yet: finding out how to live a normal life. That's what Harper is facing when she wakes up in a hospital bed, with a mom she doesn't know, and a past that's not hers. This is the story of Harper Dollinger, and the life she starts anew. There's no beginning, middle, and end. No heroic climax where she almost dies but it just makes things interesting. No. There is only living. And powers, she still has those...

After the Rise by jgovan

After gaining teleportation powers in a tragic accident that, depending on who you ask, may have been entirely his fault, Ethan is on the brink of reaching his goal and becoming Ascension's newest Protector. It cost him every relationship he had, but nobody said purposefully altering your DNA to become a superhero would be easy. Things would be a lot easier if Ethan also hadn't accidentally created the newest supervillain to roam Ascension, armed with incredible powers and a seeming vendetta against his sister, the mighty Protector known as Titan. And it'd be great if the breach points popping up in the mountains outside of Ascension and moving ever closer weren't directly related to Ethan gaining abilities in the first place, but nobody has to know about that part, right? Ethan can keep it all a secret if he can team up with an eccentric Apex scientist to fix the breaches before they swallow Ascension whole and stop Slate before she kills Titan. Then nobody would have to know it was all his fault in the first place, right? He'd also like to get his best friend Raz talking to him again, but that may be the hardest goal to achieve of them all. Ethan can go anywhere he wants, but he'll soon find out that the only way to fix what he's broken is to stay put. Unfortunately for him, after you burn every bridge you've ever crossed, staying in one place has an unpleasant side effect: It makes you a pretty easy target.
