The "Age of Heroes."

That's what they called it in the textbooks. I wasn't alive when it began, but I heard stories.  Stories of people suddenly discovering they could levitate when they tripped down the stairs, people getting a little too angry at their mobile game and shorting out their phone, people getting a case of 'hysterical strength' when their life was in danger but keeping that strength afterwards. 

About 0.05% of the human population developed mysterious powers very suddenly around the early-to-mid 1900s.

It was to say the least, chaos. Supers abusing their power to commit crimes, some supers donning masks and trying to fight fire with fire, and a few just trying to lay low.

But that was in the past. Nowadays, we have the Hero Agency, an international organization recruiting supers to help combat criminal supers. It had all the flair and pizzazz of the 'golden age of superheroes,' as some older folks might say, along with actual funding from the Hero Agency.

"Well then what's the story?" you may ask. Everything did seem to be tied up in a neat little bow, after all. Well, I guess that all starts with me.

Are you crazy or something? Where did you even find this?" Pete asked. "I'm trying to figure out why they selected me to the super 7 project" I answered. "And why did you think you'd get an answer by reading fantasy books?" Nom questioned. "I don't know okay? I have to start somewhere. Also our library is full of these kind of books." "What you guys actually do in this class anyway? Do they teach you how to pass exams easily or something?" Pete asked "Also, whenever we ask anything about this class, you just make up some excuses and disappear" Nom joined him. "I don't know what we're doing there either.

Static by hattielynn

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

Voltage by UltimateReader2004

A world with two types of superpowers. One would call this a young child's fantasy, but it is anything but that. It is one messed up conflict that leads to many untrue stereotypes tropes applied to those who were born without even seeing anything they do. Quirks, a power that nearly 60% of the population have. A power that allows a person to form a unique power, from being either strong or weak. It soon divides itself into multiple sub-types of it, leading to even more and more types of quirks. Conduits, people who have powers to alter the world around them. Any conduit powers are strong as the person gets stronger, as it takes up 35% of the population. These powers are wild and crazy compare to quirks, only having one type of its kind. Anyone would get a quirk, or two if they're lucky, or a conduit power only. But soon, very few people start to develop both quirks and conduit powers. And one young boy is one of these few people. See him go on a road of difficulty against the villains of the world while meeting many friends and people.

Bluejays by imcdna

Once upon a time, five people agreed to be part of a secret experiment. The experiment was meant to give them superpowers. They were promised that their loved ones would not be affected by the experiment, no matter what the outcome was. This was good, as the experiment failed--or so they thought. For one, it was her first child. For another, his second-born. For a third, her third. For the fourth, her fourth, and for the fifth, his first. They were all born with strange powers--powers that nobody could explain, and that put everybody around them in danger. Taken from their parents, the children were raised apart from society. They served a particular purpose. Nothing would go wrong. Until something does... or a lot of somethings.
