The citizens of Quarter City have come to rely upon the silent, stoic, and enigmatic Geo to come to their aide in times of trouble and maintain the peace. But the actions of this Enhanced being as of late have become erratic, extreme. He no longer provides a sense of security, but instead provokes wariness and fear. What can be done? What can the people of this city, normal and Enhanced alike, do against one of the most powerful individuals to have ever lived when he can't be challenged or even reasoned with?
Welcome to "THE WORLD'S PERFECT CITY".
It's all about to fall apart.

Taking influence from more natural superhero tales from the likes of Kurt Busiek and Neil Gaiman, Quarter City is a different take on a familiar genre.

A Bird's Eye View: The Villain and the Hero's Love Affair
You're just a little birdie, minding your own business-flying around, dodging falling leaves, trying not to get too involved in the messes of the city below. But, oh, the drama! The masked hero and the brooding villain you've been watching for months-yeah, those two? They have a lot of secrets. The hero's perfect, obviously, saving the world and all that. But the villain? Oh, dear. By day, they wear a mask of evil and power, but you've seen what happens when the cape comes off. There's some serious darkness lurking in their private life-self-loathing, quiet pain, and way too many late-night mood swings. But don't worry, the villain's got it under control... or so they think. You thought their love story was one of those sweet "enemies-to-lovers" kind of deals, until you saw the truth from way up here. It's a mess. Betrayal. Anger. Love. Secret identities. A fight that's way more personal than you ever imagined. But hey, that's not your problem, right? You're just a bird. Except, well... Maybe you care. Maybe you're the one who's been flying around, wondering if their messy, secret love story will ever have a happy ending-or if one of them will end up on the wrong side of the city's skyscraper (literally). From your vantage point, it's a little too close for comfort, but hey-no one ever said love was easy, even for villains and heroes. Just try not to get caught in the crossfire, okay?

Seven in the Shadows | Justice League Unlimited
He is not a hero. He is not a savior. He is a man who wanted nothing but silence, yet carries the weight of a god in his veins. When an alien warrior falls and a broken young man becomes its unwilling host, the world gains a new protector it never asked for. Every battle drains him, scars him, hollows him out. The Justice League searches for answers. Amanda Waller plots to weaponize him. And in the shadows, monsters rise - kaiju born from the darkest sins of humanity itself. He fights not for glory, not for justice, but because something inside him refuses to let the world collapse completely. He hates humanity. He hates himself even more. But sometimes, the deepest despair hides the faintest spark of light. And somewhere between the ruins, someone sees him - someone who might matter more than the war itself. Seven in the Shadows is a mythic, brutal, and human story for anyone who has ever lost faith in the world, yet still wonders if it's worth saving. Justice League Unlimited and Young Justice
A Guide to Being Super
Every city has its claim to fame and for the city of Cytropolis it's their superheroes. But unlike the cities of Gotham and Central City, this isn't a good thing. Cytropolis is known far and wide as the city with the clumsiest and least influential superheroes ever. But it never mattered that much since the super villains were just as bad. That is, until recently when the villains decided to smarten up and open a super villain academy to train the newest generation (something that never occurred to the heroes). Luckily for them, Matt Miller has arrived. He may seem like an average, normal (even bordering on boring) seventeen-year-old boy, but when are things ever what they seem? He may be apathetic and bitter but he has super powers and he's kind of, well, powerful. He's the heroes only hope against the newest villain in town, Sinister Shadow, and he has no choice but to lend a hand (but he refuses to wear tights while he does it, he draws the line at tights). And with Matt's help (along with his little sister turned sidekick), the heroes just might win. *cover by @soundthealarm*Complete

Victims of a Brutal Reprise
The war is over. The world moved on. But Abital wasn't supposed to survive. He was built for war, abandoned to die, and left to fade into the background of a world rebuilt on lies. Now, he walks among the living as a ghost; hiding a power that could change everything, as he suppresses a past that refuses to stay buried. Living in hiding, stripped of family and purpose, he tries to disappear into the cracks of Dresden: until a voice starts speaking in his head. When Abital learns he may not be the last of his kind, he's forced to make a choice: keep hiding, or step into the light and reclaim what was stolen. But nothing is simple. Every alliance costs something. Every truth is stained with blood. And every person, friend or enemy, carries their own brand of cruelty. "Victims of a Brutal Reprise" is a story about power, identity, and the things people will do when survival is on the line. A tale about what happens when morality breaks, and the monsters don't look like monsters at all. [On hiatus]
Urban Legend Has It...
In this anthology series, Nietzsche's Ubermensch comes to life. His hair is nappy, his nose is broad, and his complexion kissed by the sun. With a clap of her hands, she causes hurricanes. As her fingers snap, time slows. He can speak and create, and she can dream and destroy. The Superman is real, and they are an African. In this anthology series, we'll bear witness not to their epic exploits, but to the mundane melancholies of life in a world where Black kids can stop bullets, read minds, and fly. Welcome to the Afro-Future, today! Chapter 1: In "An Urban Legend Has It..." we meet Othello Richard Shannon, aka the super-speeding hero in a XXXL red hoodie, Dynamic! He didn't used to mind getting clowned in his civilian life since he has two A-One, Day-Ones that he can depend on to lift his spirits. But lately, this hero's been feeling like a third wheel. Chapter 2: In "The Stupendous Adventures of the Super Union" a team of superheroes gathers for the funeral of one of their own, Aspiration. Tensions run high as they discuss the impromptu sexual assault trial that led to Aspiration's death and the dismissal of one of their teammates. Chapter 3: In "Interrogation", young archivist Zaraz is asked to record and transcribe the interrogation of Regicide--the famous supervillain and archenemy of King Soul. The villain makes a lot of wild claims about King Soul's past, but surely they couldn't be true. Chapter 4: in "CRISIS of Faith" It wasn't easy for humanity to accept the existence of superhumans. But our narrator was lucky enough to be born in a time of peace between those with and those without powers. There are systems in place which help keep interactions running smoothly. That's the intention, at least.Complete

*REUPLOADED as the published version of the story* In a world full of super-powered individuals, comic books have become real life. Superheroes and villains have epic battles in the streets, aliens dash through the skies, and everyday people have their daily lives hindered due to collateral damage. That's just the norm that everyone has grown used to. It's a new age of young supers rising to the top, and New Elysium City is the epicenter for this new generation. The paths that they take will carefully carve out the fate of their metropolis they call home. Some may choose to be the very face of good and justice, while others may instead take a darker turn.

Or will the weight of the world come crashing down around them?Complete

gOD i'm so sorry why did i write so much self-insert stuff pls this is so embarrassing Alright, let's one thing straight, being a superhero isn't as great as it seems. Just be happy that you are a normal human with a boring life. It's much easier that way. Okay, I guess it has its perks but believe me, it's not as glamorous as it seems. ~~~~~~~ I am writing purely for fun !! And writing yourself into your favorite fandoms is really fun! Everyone should try it! Flash (TV show) Fans might recognize some villains or characters (I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS CREATED BY DC COMICS. ANY CHARACTERS NOT FROM DC ARE MY OWN CREATIONS. Thank you) This is basically on an Earth where the Particle Accelerator kills everyone in Star Labs which means Wells couldn't save Barry- so no flash.Complete
