"Who are you? Where are you from?" he asked.
I smiled and picked up my bloody baseball bat. "Sic Parvis Magna,"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
I stood at the edge of the roof, I knew Sam was watching, waiting to catch me. "Greatness, from small beginnings," I said, before stepping off the edge.

Even Heroes Fall
My name is Violet Devereux and I am a superhero. Okay, not technically a superhero because I can't fly, or shoot lasers from my eyes. I am a perfectly ordinary girl in her twenties, except at night when I put on a disguise and become Justice: the hero-vigilante of London, England. Life was good until he showed up. His name is Ghoul and he is a real superhero. Super strength, super speed, super good-looks (he wears a mask, but I assume), super perfect golden hair, and rumoured super hearing. His only flaw? He is no hero. ** Currently adding some fresh updates **Complete
LOOKOUT
Everyone has a different story behind closed doors... Hunter POV "Who are you?" I spoke out She turned around quickly, quite shocked. "Ah, hi, sorry I wasn't snooping or anything. I happened to stumble across it. I'm Brontë. My eyes just locked on her; I didn't mean to -- she just caught my breath. Her curly golden hair fell just below her waist, accentuating her tan skin. Her dark brown eyes were a mix of grey and green, glistening with the light. She was wearing ripped black jeans and an oversized hoodie, along with a pair of Timberlands. I looked back up to her face, "You'd better go. The Lookout is no place for a girl like you."She nodded and walked past me, disappearing through the passage. I didn't mean to come across as rude. She just seemed dainty, like you don't want to mess with a girl like her. Brontë, I like it.Complete
Queen
"I'm guessing you're here to try and recruit me? Again?" I ask him patiently. I believe this is the fifth-time Nick Fury has come calling. Each and every time I have turned him down, but eventually he comes back and proposes the same thing. "No, I'm here to see if you'd like some girl scout cookies. The Samoa's are selling really well this year." Nick sasses while giving me his signature glare. I smirk. He's a sarcastic jerk, but he is funny. "Oh, well in that case..." I start and trail off, knowing it'll make him even more frustrated. He huffs and my smirk grows. "Why do you want me so bad?" I ask, honestly wanting to know. I watch Nick as he sighs deeply and clasps his hands in front of him. "Your skill set is equal to the best that we have. You would be an invaluable part of the team." He explains, but he knows that isn't what I mean. We stare at each other for a moment before he sighs again. "Your history only makes you more of an impressive subject." He continues and I groan. "The point is that you would help put an end to what happened to you, on a global scale." He says. "Think about it, Shifter." Nick drops a folder on the concrete and starts to walk back to the exit of the roof. I flip through the folder lazily, barely skimming the papers, but I know all of the names already. Once I've gone through most of it I stop and toss it in the dust behind me. Reading it was useless. I wasn't made to be any sort of hero. I DO NOT OWN THE AVENGERS. ONLY THE CHARACTERS AND THE SITUATIONS I CREATE.Complete![Lilliana: The Oldest Maximoff [Discontinued]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/274429692-256-k959770.jpg)
Lilliana: The Oldest Maximoff [Discontinued]
"Look, I don't think I'm supposed to tell you this, but you're probably gonna find out anyway, and it would be way worse if you found out on your own, and-" "Happy, slow down. What happened?" I ask. He hesitates. "Come on, Happy. You can't ramble on like that if you aren't going to tell me." "Sokovia was just bombed," he starts "What?!" "And Stark missiles were used to do it" "That's not possible. Stark Industries doesn't make weapons anymore...Happy if this is some sick prank you're trying to pull, it's not funny!" "I wish it was a prank, but it's not." Happy mutters. "No, you're lying!" I turned on the TV to see that happy was right. Someone bombed my hometown. I see a picture of my street demolished along with my house... ----------------------------------------- "How dare you, Stark!" I scream as I slam the door. "What did I do this time?" he replies. "Your bombs destroyed my hometown. My parents are dead and I can't find the twins!" tears stream down my face, "I've lost everything because of you!" "I'm sorry for your loss but you need to get over it because life continues." Stark states. "Screw you, Stark! I quit!"... *Mild Language* #1 in enemiestolovers 10/29/21 #1 in freshreads 1/16/22 #1 in maximoff 4/21/22Complete

Our families are close, I view her grandfather as my own. The only thing is, I still can't bring myself to say more than a few words to the girl who occupies most of my thoughts. Going into my last year of high school, I needed the chance to have my world shifted by Bailey Connors. Bailey Connors: I broadcasted my crush on Beckett Davis in the 2nd grade after decorating him a cookie. And every time after that when I can't control how my face heats around him.

Learning To Fall: A Steve Rogers Love Story
I plead in internal agony, trying to pushing him away, "I won't be a burden to you, Steve. I refuse." "What about what I want?" he repeats softly. "I'm telling you. You're better off--" "But I want you," He professes, grabbing my cheeks to hold my gaze, "You're not a burden, Maddie.
