When you think of a hero, you think of someone like Steve Rogers. Tony Stark. Clark Kent...
Peter Parker, even.
You certainly wouldn't think of someone like Axel.
Axel Rosemary.
Dyed blue hair, shaved at the side. Rings pierced through his lip, nose, and the tops of his ears.
That's what he is though, and dang proud.
He's kept his home, Brooklyn, the place he's grown up in, safe since he was fifteen. He's avoided life-threatening injuries.
Now, though, after five years of protecting, after five years of being known as Distortion, after five years of successfully using his Telekinesis to protect those around him with all his might, after five years of building his reputation as a hero, a hero who can be looked to, who has a hot-headed personality, who can be trusted...
He's been hurt. Knocked down. He won, of course he won, but he's hurt. With a deep gash in his side, he has nowhere to go. His friends are too far away, and his parents are six feet below.
So now, he heads to where he's sure will be his down-fall. A man he's fought since he was fifteen.
A man who he prays won't kill him in his time of need.
He most certainly didn't expect to wake up on a couch, stitched up and safe.
-Hello! This is my first story here. This is inspired by a prompt I found on Pinterest. I wrote a bit of a story and, after getting much praise, decided to post it on here.
I hope you all enjoy! This will have some triggering mentions and subject matters, though I promise I will put up warnings before the subjects come up!
I hope you give my story a chance, and I encourage any advice you can give to improve my writing! Also, I do intend on changing my story cover. I found this picture in a Google search, but will change it once I can make, or get, an original picture for this story.
See ya'll!-
It's not worth it anymore. The fighting, the hurt, the beatings. It was never going to be worth it. But for love...well love makes you stupid. And I loved him with all my heart.
I met the real man who would save me. Like how Bell was saved from Gaston. Except she lived the high life and didn't fear for her existence after her first encounter.
After my first encounter with Axel, and a dreamy one-night stand. The only option for me was to stay away from him and keep to Marcus.
But Marcus is destroying me.

"Don't you dare tell me how easy it is to leave and abusive relationship when you've never been in one, Axel!" Tears poured down my cheeks and all I wanted to do in that moment was crawl into the same hole I should never have crawled out from and die.
"And I was heartbroken, and scared and anxious. I was worried and I felt weak, and I had no idea how I was ever going to come up with the strength. But I just closed my eyes and took a blind leap. I found you, Cordilia and I'll be dammed if I let that asshole take you away from me."
