Set in the Arcadia Universe, where the gods have allowed men to wield powers beyond our wildest dreams. How this power is used, however, is totally up to the bearer and they have the three choices. Be a hero, a villain, or live their lives like the rest of society. However, not all humans possess extraordinary abilities and the police have to protect the lives of citizens, and in the process, the government uses many measures that may doom society to destruction. This story follows Nathaniel Masters, who has to face many challenges along his journey, as he eventually rises up to face the threat posed not only by villains but by those he has sworn to protect.
"There I was, the son of two amazing superheroes. Known far and wide for their amazing bravery, brilliance and power. I won't lie, I am proud to call them my parents, but something burned deeply on the inside. Not only the fact that I couldn't tell anyone that they were superheroes, but also the fact that I was no more human than you.
I was shunned by my parents' friends, humiliated by their kids, whose power was not only amazing but grew stronger. My family pretty much ignored me. I had no other siblings and my friends, well they had other stuff to do. Besides the continuous support and acceptance by my grandfather, my only option is to dream.... that is, until something happens."

#3 in #projectsuper - December 2019
I didn't mean to fall in love with my brother's best friend.
Kingsley Pierce has been my enemy since he befriended my twin brother in first grade. Who constantly tugged my pigtails at nap time in second grade? Kingsley. Who was to blame in fifth grade when an entire bottle of glitter glue just happened to pour onto my head? Kingsley. What about ninth grade (the first go around) when a full tray of beans appeared onto my seat just as I was sitting down? You guessed it: Kingsley Freaking Pierce.
The man in question and I have been at each other's throats since we both realized only one of us could be my brother's favorite, and I have been determined to win.
That is, until I started fighting a bigger fight.
Four years ago, the government announced the presence of Enhanced individuals. People across the country started gaining what can only be described as super powers.
There are the Generics (like my brother and me) who have heightened senses, strength, flying - basic stuff really. Then, there are the Advanced. The Advanced have unique and powerful abilities - like being able to control spiders or the elements.
My brother refuses to acknowledge his powers, instead insisting he can live a normal life. I, on the other hand, partnered with the government to rise up as Tri-City's hero when the last one disappeared only two years ago. Despite being all by myself, I've put away more Advanced supers than I want to count - never losing a fight.
My undefeated streak comes to a screeching halt when a new super appears out of nowhere. Crimson Current. He is wreaking havoc on the city with powers I've never seen - powers I can't compete with.
So, why am I so twisted up about Kingsley Pierce when I have a hell of a lot more to deal with? I honestly have no idea.
But can I just say, I am shocked.
