"Where did it all go wrong?"
	Why was that the question that everyone was asking me? Why did everyone want to know when everything changed? Who were they to assume this wasn't how it was in the very beginning? In all honesty, even I didn't fully know the answer. 
	"Who said it was ever right?"

...

Kali Brangwen was completely satisfied with her average life. She spent her days hanging out with her childhood best friend and living completely carefree. Nothing could go wrong for her.
Until she realized she had fallen in love with him.

After a heated night between the two, she realizes that not only has their relationship changed, but so has the rest of her life.

Because she wakes up the next morning with superpowers.

Kali's world quickly begins to fall apart as she tries to live up to everyone's hero expectations, and tries to figure out where her powers came from. And as her best friend pushes her to be everyone's hero, it drives a wedge between the two as he doesn't see how she is breaking down. 

And she's not sure how long she can stay the hero when there's evil slowly growing in her veins.

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud
25 parts Complete
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!

Villains in Training

26 parts Complete

"There are all types of supports for heroes," Bella said angrily. "There's schools and mentors and even government aid sometimes. We just want one thing, ONE THING, to help us reach our potential." "Potential to be villains?" Quinn asked, exasperated. "Yes! And don't sound so judgmental. Without us, none of you would have any purpose. We supply the demand for your services. You're welcome." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Belladonna has had a rough childhood, a commonality among the students at the Gallimore School of Entropy. After all, villains need a good backstory. She's always known her destiny was to be a villain, but she begins to question it after meeting Hades and Quinn. Quinn is the only student at Prattlynn's School for Justice who was accepted for his brains instead of his superpower. After all, that was the only way a normal human would be accepted. Wanting to understand why a villain becomes a villain before crucifying them, as is the tradition, he befriends Jade, the only student at the school who knows a villain personally. Jade, Belladonna's best friend since childhood, is Belladonna's college roommate. She's always tried to get her friend to see that she could choose her own destiny, but gets nowhere until Hades, another villain in training, comes along. Unfortunately, a villain being friends with a superhero and vise versa is not acceptable. Something has to give if anyone is to live.
