Stevie Jones gains powers in a world where having abilities is illegal. In order to protect her planned future, she must gain help from a stubborn vigilante.
~

My name is Stevie Jones, and I live in Havenbrook City. Population: 7-8 million. Crime Rate: very high. We have Deviates to thank for that. What are Deviates? Evil, violent vagrants with unfathomable abilities who terrorize our streets every night. They are extremely dangerous...and apparently, I am one of them. 
-
Stevie Jones is a nineteen-year-old genius with an eidetic memory and an aspiration to become an engineer like her late father. Her future is in her sights, and she won't allow anyone or anything to stand in her way. But when Stevie mysteriously wakes up with superhuman powers, her future is suddenly in jeopardy. Desperate for answers, she searches for the one stranger she knows who can help her: a Deviate who once saved her life.

Derrick "Dark" Harvard is a twenty-three-year-old Deviate with a blurry past. Living as a "freak" with glowing veins takes a toll on him day by day, scared that someone will find out his secret. When a girl who claims to be a Deviate randomly pops into Dark's life, he (defiantly) agrees to help her control her powers. But what he didn't agree to was helping her avoid being kidnapped by an evil group of Deviates that have targeted her for reasons unknown. 

Now Stevie and Dark must uncover the biggest mystery of their lives while avoiding Deviates with potent fire abilities. Can they find the truth before Stevie becomes a victim?

Fusion by AnonymousEnigma828

Jack Carter is your semi-average guy. Sixteen, 5' 11, charcoal black hair, and a slight muscle build. The rich popular kid that everyone adores. Until his life takes a turn for the better and worse. Sure, the move was bad. A whole new city across the country. The Big freakin' Apple. Then there was the fact that he had to leave all his friends and make new ones. Double bummer. But juggling his new abilities and super villains? Now there's the ride of a lifetime.

Til Death Tears Me Apart Once Again [Discontinued] by Neverxinagain

"If I'm going to die anyway, there's no point in trying to live." A typical reincarnated into a villainess story, except the protagonist isn't your typical 'I want my happy ending protagonist', but a death seeker. XX 《'Til Death Tears Me Apart, I Will Always Love You》is a very successful otome game. As much praise and admiration the game recieves, it is also, however, notorious for being absurdly difficult. One wrong step and the player would be drowning in an ocean of death flags, for both the Heroine and the Capture Targets. Anything short of perfection wouldn't even get the player a glimpse of a happy ending for the Capture Target the player chose. Enter me; Just a simple, normal girl reincarnated into a game as dangerous as that, as the villainess no less. Destined to die no matter what, I think there's no point in me trying to fight fate. If I'm going to die regardless, might as well die sooner rather than later. But that desire for death causes more than just a few changes to the definite plot; From little ones that have no effect at all, to life changing ones that may destroy the world of Arraxus. So the God of the world makes a deal with me: They'll give me a peaceful and happy afterlife, as long as I get a happy ending for myself. "Let the game begin!" -- Discontinued.

A girls prophecy by brelovesgiyuu

What was supposed to be a fun party with her three best friends quickly descends into chaos when gunshots ring out, and in the middle of the panic, something unimaginable happens. As a bullet hurtles toward her friend, time slows, and with a surge of raw power, Kira stops the shot in midair. That night, Kira and her friends' lives change forever.

As they grow into their powers, they must learn to trust each other and face challenges that will test their bond, their courage, and their very identities. Each revelation uncovers a new layer of the mystery behind their existence, but the deeper they go, the darker it gets.

Or will the darkness close in, forcing them to choose between survival and their humanity?

"That's where you're still wrong, honey," he said darkly. "I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for me. I wanted you, so now you're mine-that's all there is to it. And by being mine, if someone hurts you, they're hurting me. And I am not one to take that disrespect lightly. Do you understand me?" "No." "You will."

"I will ruin you-I'll fit you to my mold; I'll take that goody-two-shoes girl you are, and turn her into a force to be reckoned with. One that's mine." I quivered. "All mine." "I..." His proximity had me beyond nervous. My throat constricted as I tried to regain my composure. "Will never be yours." He laughed, his hand caressing my cheek.
