Fifteen-year-old Cameron Drexler made a mistake. A simple, honest, and very illegal mistake. Knowing his son's actions could derail his career, Cam's father, Congressman David Drexler, has him shipped off to Maplethorn Academy.

Not quite a prison and not quite a school, Maplethorn is a place where the wealthy and well-connected lock away boys who are lawbreakers, troublemakers, or simply unwanted. But when his roommate disappears, Cam fears Maplethorn is hiding a darker secret.

Caught looking for answers in a part of the academy that is off-limits to cadets, Cam is pressured into volunteering for a new type of behavioral therapy. At first, he doesn't feel any different. That is until he discovers he can send a paper airplane shooting across the room without touching it.

The perfect timing (In Editing) by JustmeN

I'm not like wonder woman, supergirl or catwoman. The only similarity we share is that we all have an extraordinary ability and are females. Many people would say having superpowers was a gift from god and the best thing that could ever happen to you. But not for me, being able to freeze time was more of a burden, because I couldn't control it and it had the worst timing to appear. I also didn't think about being a superhero and rescuing the world from the bad. The only thing I want is to be left alone and get over with my last year of high school. But of course everything came different and it all started with me attracting accidentally the attention of Reece Matthews. (cover made by Cjc8357)

LCP : Last Chance Penitentiary by AmeliaCrossGE

If you're looking for an adventure in the morally grey, and a crash course of the human condition, this is the story for you! What is good and evil? Where is that line drawn, and who decides that? Packed with humor, danger, feels, and awkward relationships, Last Chance Penitentiary leaves its impression on everyone. *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** When Nathan pushes back at a bully in his high school, and the boy takes a tumble down the stairs, he finds himself on the wrong side of the law, and he must choose between prison or the experimental LCP facility.

Nothing is what it seems behind the walls of LC Penitentiary, and there, he struggles to live among five convicted felons. Somethings are terrifying, as he expected they would be, but others light and gentle, hidden beneath the faces of monsters that could resurface at any moment. Everyone in LC penitentiary is a dance of faces, of masks one wears to blend in with prey. Which faces are real, which the lures? And will Nathan one day don a mask of his own, to bury the gentleness in his heart behind the violence and hatred that ended him up there in the first place? ----- Rachel is the daughter of the Mayor by day and one of the hood kids at night. Nothing was dangerous to her until she stumbled upon the inmates of LC Penitentiary. Intending only to take a step onto the edges of LC Penitentiary, it drags her under into a world of violence, pain, and unfathomable sadness. The city controlled by a ruthless Italian crime boss starts to crumble on top of her as she struggles to make a place for herself. Lost in their world, she finds an unlikely friend in one of the inmates at LC Penitentiary that changes her life forever.

Lab Rat(18+) by LovedAThousandLives

. Three years. It had been three years since he'd been taken, experimented on, had his DNA altered and became a freak of nature. He knew because he'd managed to peek at the computer when they dragged him into that dreaded room; the one they used to prod, poke and inject him with god-knows-what. He was considered their only success - meaning their illegal tests hadn't killed him or rendered him paralysed, or worse; brain dead. He was subject 254. And he was the only survivor. At least until she - subject 391 - moved into the cell next door. - - 18th June 2018 - Rank 1 #sciencefiction 17th May 2019 - Rank 4 #romance 22nd Feb 2019 - Rank 1 #superpowers -- ** NOW COMPLETED**

After an accident killed her parents, Malia's life is turned upside down. She's going to an academy she's never heard of with people that have powers she didn't know existed. Will she be able to keep up with the other students or will she fail? Can she possibly be what people expect from her? And more importantly, how will she possibly survive living in the same place as a certain curly-haired, deeply infuriating boy? Only time will tell. Check trigger warnings on my website:) link in my bio &don't be intimidated by the amount of chapters. They're all only around 1000 words long to make it an easier read:)

I Don't Believe in Ghosts {Remington Leith} by ProbUnstableTBH

Just about how abruptly can someone be thrown into the world of the supernatural? Why, apparently just overnight. For Remington, he certainly didn't expect the reception he received from his ghostly pals. So when he's given a crash course in collaboration, sorcery, death, appropriate social interaction and questing, all for the sake of one measly prophecy? His initial reaction was: No thanks. Maybe he would have been better off if he followed his gut.

The Presence by WPutman68

Over a hundred years ago the two eldest brothers had a falling out that split the family. One side turned to the light, and used their gifts cautiously; while the other embraced the dark, and death always followed. Present Day... After moving into a haunted house, gifted twins Max and Megan Blackwell hear of the legend and discover they've moved to a town that hate and fear them because of their name. With the help of new allies they must decide who to trust as they fight against evil, both the living, and the dead, and struggle to find their untold destiny as The Chosen Ones...

SCENT by Eleven_MA

'Around the turn of the millennia, a fraction of the nineties' kids developed powers beyond human limitations. Some used them in a responsible manner. Others abused them with impunity. Most were simply confused, so they turned to the modern mythology: The superheroes and supervillains. 'Now, two decades later, you get them around every corner: Vigilantes and criminals, costumed and plain-cloth, fighting for justice, ideals, vengeance and profits... And it's my unfortunate job to keep them within the boundaries of the law. 'Welcome to the Empowered Crime Investigation Squad, the police unit that keeps the super-powered chaos in check. Understaffed, underpaid and under-equipped, we stand between you and that costumed freak on a power trip. Considering what we are against, it's an uphill battle. 'The silver lining is, not only heroes and villains have superpowers.' - Morgan Sun, an ECIS detective CONTENT WARNING: This story contains scenes of olfactoric violence, drug use, some disturbing imagery and mild obscene language. It's not suitable for audiences younger than 15. Cover art © me. SCENT logo © @yunachu . Corner portrait © @JaxCreation
