Who said heroes and villains couldn't offer each other mutual benefits?

In a region run by supers, Nic is a crooked superhero only in it for the money while Catalina wants to do whatever it takes to label herself as a villain. Their conflict was inevitable, but dirty minds think alike. The duo form an alliance in order to con the biggest hero organization in the city, The Vigilante Assistance Hotline, hoping to make some extra cash on the side while never having to do any real work. But TVAH isn't what it seems. With corruption already running rampant throughout the company, Nic and Catalina are forced to step up to play hero in order to save their city from a group hellbent on hunting down supers just like them.

"I get paid every time I fight a villain, even if I don't apprehend you."

"So...If I got away and we fought again, you'd get paid even more than you would tonight, right?"

His eyes lit up as he understood my train of though. With a smirk, he said, "I like the way you think."

The Ghost King is a supervillain, and he's searching for something. Nico di Angelo is a villain to the whole city; the media is on his back daily, and police chases have become a regular part of his life. If he was even a little more spiteful, he would start committing real crimes-not just the minor break-ins he's been charged with so far. The Ghost King is a supervillain, but luckily there's a superhero here to protect you from him. Sunburst spends his days chasing after the Ghost King, cursing the Ghost King for making him skip school to go defend the city, and bickering with the Ghost King. Will Solace is sure that he's going to be the one to finally get the bounty for the Ghost King. The Ghost King is a supervillain. So why won't he hurt anyone? The Ghost King is the city's only supervillain--so who is this new villain, and how can Nico and Will survive them? The Ghost King is a supervillain, which is why Will Solace is feeling a little bit ridiculous to be blushing when they touch. Maybe the Ghost King isn't as much of a supervillain as Will Solace originally assumed-and maybe the best way to defeat the new villain in the city is to work with his ex-enemy. - Edited January and February 2024. Original version linked at the end. - SORRY FOR THE DRAMATIC DESCRIPTION I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF - Y'ALL NEED TO STOP ME IM SERIOUS THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND.

Our story begins on a autumn morning in Megadale, where the absence of DudePow, the city's famed hero, has left a noticeable void. With crime on the rise, the city is in need of a savior. Meanwhile, Gal Monroe and her family settle into their new home, once belonging to her late great uncle, Angus. As her and her twin brother Kelli explore the basement, they stumble upon a surprising secret: Angus Monroe was none other than the incredible superhero, DudePow. Intrigued by this revelation, Gal tries on Angus's ring, hoping to uncover its powers. To her surprise, she finds herself engulfed in a blue aura, inheriting the abilities of DudePow. Now "cursed" with unexpected strength, Gal must navigate her newfound powers while living in a world dominated by men, determined to carry on her great uncle's legacy and bring justice to Megadale. hi! little explanation here: this is an adaptation of one of my favorite fever dream memory: Shezow! i wrote the story but with a new perspective, Gal's point of view. i always thought about her as i watched the original show: what does she likes? how is she? what are her weaknesses? is she confident? (absolutely not!) and i seriously had a reflexion and a whole analysis over a character that doesn't even have two episode in the original show!!!! IM THAT OBSESSED! So be ready to enter the world of a 14 yo girl dealing with all the problems of her kind. Enjoy :) My story was inspired by the original show (Duh!), but but also inspired by other writers: EugeneMinev on Deviantart and HalfandHalfStoriesAndStuff on ao3 :) I helped myself with the universe of KickAss and ScottPilgrim because I always thought Shezow would suit these universes. Disclaimer: English isn't my first language so excuse me if i make mistakes ^^'
