Maybe I'd Miss You?

"They want me to be the bad guy? Fine. I'll be the bad guy. I want them to know that they made me like this. That the storm coming is entirely of their own design."

Mortez is a rising, superpowered icon adored by the people for overcoming his dark background and doing spectacular things. Until he isn't.

His reputation crumbles after an unfortunate accident and the life he fought so hard for unceremoniously falls to pieces. With nowhere else to turn, his arch-nemesis becomes his ally, and progressively he begins to succumb to his rival's charisma. Through a national manhunt, threats to his life, a forced turn to the dark side, and kisses that shouldn't have been, he has to reevaluate what being a hero really means. Is fighting for good is even worth it at all if all it brings is pain?
