Heroes at Heart oleh TwylaGrimm

"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business." Max Owens is your average high school sophomore. Well, he tries to be, at least. At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly. Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they? We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart. (Based on a writing prompt / story request by tumblr user "fallingivy")

Infinite - Volume 1 oleh DreaminTales

Some powers are given. Others are taken. And some... were never meant to exist. Evan Pettway didn't ask to become a target. He didn't ask for the voice in his mind, the energy burning in his blood, or the war being waged in shadows around him. But when a buried truth shakes the foundations of everything he's ever known, Evan is forced to run across cities, memories, and dimensions. Beside him: Kyra, a sharp-tongued fighter with a haunted past and a heart that refuses to quit. Behind them: a nation of lies. Ahead of them: a conspiracy older than the stars and hungrier than death. As the world bends under the weight of unseen forces-both human and not-Evan must uncover the truth about who he is, what he's capable of, and what it truly means to fight for the ones you love when fate itself is rigged against you.

Gravity oleh Optimusly

It's funny how life works. You make decisions based on who you trust and how much you trust them. You fall in love with the most unlikeliest of people. And as soon as everything is going so very well, the wheel stops turning forward and goes backwards. Everything that went up comes crashing down. Because gravity grounds us, even when we want to stay high. That's it's job. And it treats us all the same. short story: #61 (November 16th 2014) teen fiction: #271 (November 16th 2014) (2014)

Tainted✓ oleh EraRexon

Not everyone is born strong, Some are soft like the cotton candy clouds, like the first rays before dawn. Some are unaware of the dark thoughts and the cruelty that exists. Like an enchanting pearl in an oyster..protected. There comes a day they realise that even the sweetest red roses have thorns and then they begin their journey from virtue to sin. And just like that they have to change. "He took my virginity, broke my heart... stomped on it like it was the easiest thing to do. What goes around comes around too because that's what I represent.... Karma." #BOOK 1 THE DARK WORLDS SERIES #CYBORG *No toxic relationship*

"Smoking is bad for you," he husks next to my ear, squeezing the flesh of my hips before he lets me go and quits the butt of the cigarette with his shoe. With a swift motion I turn the tables, pressing him against the wall this time. My forearm on his throat, holding the tall man in place. I have to throw my head back to look him in the eyes and I have no idea where I've got the courage from, but my temper gets the best of me as I have enough of his games. "You know what's bad for you, darling? Taking me by 120 million dollars." His head dips down to mine, hovering over me. My stomach flutters, and my knees are getting weak from the simple gesture. "Sucks to get a taste of your own medicine, no, love?" He murmers, scanning my face. "You know, you could make all of this stop. Just say the words." His hot breathing is fanning over my face as he whispers the next words: "Say you're sorry. 'I'm sorry, sir'. Three words and this war is over." .•● ✧ ●•.

Because of Karson oleh lauren9853_

Dakota is just like every other 17 year old high school senior. Or that's what everyone thinks. Everyone sees Dakota as this funny, sarcastic, and caring girl. What people don't see is how much she is truly suffering inside. People don't know that the smile she always wears is completely fake. They don't know what's really going on at home. They don't see the bruises she has to cover up every morning. They don't see her having to step up to take care of her two younger siblings. She puts on a fake smile as soon as she walks through the school doors and slowly builds her walls up higher as each day goes on. She thinks no one will ever see past her facade...that is, until three new bad boys come strolling into town taking an automatic interest in Dakota. And one certain bad boy can read her like an open book. Will Dakota eventually let these three bad boys in? Or will she keep everything in until she finally reaches her breaking point?
