Mad Hatter {ON GOING}

"You either die a hero or live a villain."
**********
Daughter of the most infamous gang leaders in New Arcadia, Marinette Kasey-Cole isn't used to playing nice. Ever since Cole Enterprises was shut down and Airdan Cole and Mikey Kasey were carted away, Marinette had grown up the most despicable of the Kasey-Cole sisters. Untamed emotions and being raised by a struggling older sister, it's no wonder that Marinette struggles to get along with any of her siblings or classmates.

Aided only by her girlfriend, Gemini Morganson, in their ever-changing world, the new study of a "superhuman" gene is spreading across the world. Passed down from parent to child, the faulty gene gives the ability of a certain set of superpowers. And of course, Airdan Cole and Mikey Kasey bless their children with the gene themselves. With Gemini's help, Marinette explores the possibilities of having power and what that means for her life.

But Marinette's still the most hated member of her family. And with tensions rising between her sisters and herself, Marinette is unsure of where the flood that is her life is going to take her next.

You either die a hero or live a villain. And Marinette doesn't know where she'll end up now.
