"Yes"

"So...are we...still human?"

"No." he paused for a second to study their shocked faces.

Eleven gifted kids are chosen to go on a quest for light, for the world is on the verge of being conquered by darkness. Average-girl Stefanie was sucked into a world she had no wish to be sucked into. Falling out of a window, getting sucked into a portal, and dragged through a place she never wanted to be in, Stefanie is just about through with the horrible luck she's had. And when she finally thinks she's settled in, making new friends and a few enemies along the way, she has to go on a quest, to save their kind the supernatural children of the gods. With the word NO completely engraved in her mind, Stefanie tries her best to escape the quest, with reluctance and defiance, only to get more and more tangled in a web of danger and darkness. When she passes the difficult test to go and is stuck with a world depending choice, she realizes that her life has changed and she has to fight to save her friends and hold onto the leftover light that's left in their shadowed world, agreeing to go. But they still have to figure out who the eleventh chosen one is, hinted to be "the queen of stars", but how can there be a queen of stars if no one they know possesses the Weathermental element of star? Is this whole thing just the world's last, shrivelled hope? With the power of the elements, being sons and daughters of the gods, and tons of magic, will this be enough for not just her, but all eleven to break through the darkness and find the last spark of light? *Warning: I wrote this is in grade five
"Hero-Ish." by themightypen25
31 parts Complete Mature
What does spoiled milk and superpowers have in common Absolutely nothing. Of course, that's not what young Desmond Reid thought when his mother sent him on an errand one afternoon to receive some milk from a local grocery store. Upon his return home, and after having a glass, Desmond ends up having a seizure on the kitchen floor and blacks out. When he wakes up, he discovers he's been transmitted to a hospital and it's been two weeks since his little episode. Upon his return to reality, however, things change. Desmond Reid's ordinary life changes one morning when he wakes up and discovers his body levitating above his bed. Ever since then, the 17-year-old, high school senior has been getting extreme migraines and constant nosebleeds. After a trip to the doctor's office, young Desmond is told he is suffering from the changes of puberty, which, of course, Desmond finds extremely hard to believe-especially when he manages to stop an oncoming bus. It's then Desmond gets the idea that he could have superpowers, and after an intense amount of research, he learns he has the gift of telekinesis-the ability to lift or move objects with the power of one's mind. This convinces Desmond to take up the mantle of a superhero. After spending weeks training to harness abilities, not to mention going about his normal school life, and buying a costume online, Desmond thinks he's ready to hit the streets. However, his first night on the job as a superhero doesn't go as planned and as time goes by, he begins to question whether or not his powers are a gift, or a terrible curse. Things seem to go from bad to worse when men in black suits start following Desmond and his mother ends up being kidnapped by a man named Augustine, who claims to want Desmond's blood to rid the world of disease. Desmond must use his new found powers if he's to escape from Augustine's wrath and save his mother's life.

Abominations, freaks, monsters; society has forever ostracized those who stand out. And when the discovery of a new mineral leads to people developing supernatural abilities, these "Abnormals" are treated no differently. However in the wake of a catastrophic event that left everyone wondering whether it was the end, everything changed. Now Abnormals are appreciated more than ever as an era of Superheroes was born, inspired by the heroes who saved the World! But this story isn't about those heroes, instead we follow Elliot Campbell, seventeen years later, in the waning years of Superhero popularity. Elliot is your average bystander who struggles everyday to stay above rock bottom, except for one big problem; he is an absolute loser, incapable of making correct decisions. That is until he is offered the power to change the course of his life forever. He could become an Abnormal or even more hopeful he could become a Superhero! Except that the way he would get his powers isn't exactly above board & the people he would be joining are fighting crime outside of the law. Is this the chance he must take to turn his life around or just another BIG mistake in a long long list of them?
