Becker was the sort of town a train could run clear through. An empty place in a nowhere part of America. Not one thing special about it. Except town troublemaker, Tom Colton. Tom can split himself in two, an inexplicable power he's had since birth that, frankly, comes in handy when his stepdad is being a jerk or school is getting dull as hell. Or when you're trying to shake a car that's been following you for the last two weeks, and you don't know why. It's the start of his sophomore year of high school, and this car is about to show Tom that he's not alone. Four other kids with four other powers are being followed. Golden boy Cassidy Argos, know-it-all Crystal Kern, wallflower Jase Geary, class comic relief Brian Poins - they couldn't be more different. But with their closest-held secrets now bared, they join forces to follow the car that's been following them. Down a dark path they go through failed classes, missing persons, interrogation rooms, and psychological horrors, until this mysterious antagonist forces them to harness the powers they've been hiding their whole lives and become the superheroes they were always meant to be.

"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")
