"It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's just some idiot in spandex."

Arabella Jones is your average American teenage girl, she even lives in one if America's most prosperous cities, Empire City, California. She's a sucker for the performing arts and owns two bookcases full of young adult novels. Well maybe she's not so much like your average American teenager.

Everything in Arabella's life seems to be finally going perfect, right up until the city's most famous superhero come barging through her widow at two in the morning on a school night.

All she used to have to worry about was what part she was going to get in the musical and if the boy she's been crushing on since freshman year likes her back or not. But these worries are nothing compared to her newfound super stalkers.

Now it seems that the city's only hope, and her's, is a teenage boy dressed in spandex who still hasn't learned not to wear his underwear on the outside of his clothes.

"Who are you?" the supervillain asks. His breathless voice is surprisingly soft. I slam my hands on either side of him, leaning in so close my nose touches his mask. I'm the taller one. "It's 'Please Don't Kick My Sorry Butt,' but you can call me 'Too late, I Already Did.' " And I have to admit, that one I'm a little too proud of. ***Hey, hey! Now a Wattpad featured story!*** The superheroes are gone. For as long as Monet can remember, a league of superheroes has guarded her city. They were the citizens' idols, guardians, and best friends. Then, only months ago, those same heroes poofed, leaving the population at the mercy of a supervillain known as 'Masquerade.' As teen reporter and self-proclaimed defender of truth, justice, and the American way, Monet Jackson vows to do anything to find the heroes. And that "anything," unfortunately, includes taking a dip in a vat of toxic chemicals, being fired, and being hunted by Masquerade himself. But someone's gotta protect the city, and she might as well write a blog about it. *** WHAT'S INSIDE: 1 Kick-butt heroine +1 Love Triangle... or ...Love Quadrilateral... or...

The wind blows past my head, I close my eyes and take a deep breath of the cool air. Looking down I can see the city and all the lights that let me know I'm not alone in the world. I could get used to this I think to myself and I laugh. I laugh because I have powers. I laugh because of the clouds. I laugh because I have school tomorrow and I'm up at 1am. I laugh because I feel free. Kaylee is your typical teenager, does alright at school, loves basketball and has a small group of friends. But what happens when one morning she wakes up and is no longer 'typical'. Exploring her new-found abilities is all that's on her mind. When the city then gets a new hero, the kind that goes around saving people using unimaginable powers, she becomes the front page of every newspaper. But they would never expect that She's Behind The Mask...

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 **

Breaking the Soundwave by Jmarie_Freiberg

What if a superhero fell in love with a supervillain? Would they risk everything-their code, their team, their entire world-just to be together? Or what if a loyal sidekick found himself caught in a love triangle with his hero and a dangerous villain? What kind of chaos would that unleash? Ariella, daughter of the legendary hero *Red Bolt*, has spent her life living in his shadow. But after years of rigorous training, she's carved out her own identity as a formidable force in the hero world. She's determined to prove she's more than just the child of a legend. Then there's Lucas. Ariella's faithful sidekick, skilled in archery and combat, always at her side. But Lucas harbors a secret: a crush on the very woman he's sworn to protect. Torn between duty and desire, he's caught in a web of loyalty, longing, and unspoken tension. And Dominic. A teenage supervillain with the weight of his father's twisted legacy pressing on him. As he juggles high school, family secrets, and his own growing powers, Dominic faces a life-altering choice: follow in his father's ruthless footsteps, or defy everything he's been taught and become the hero he never thought he could be?

Shimmer *The Seattle Superheroes* by BearBrooks
40 parts Complete
What makes a superhero? Is it the power? The fearless, possibly reckless bravery? The cool suit? The mask? Or is it just the person? Shimmer has been a superhero for as long as she can remember--she knows nothing else. She has a suit, is both fearlessly and recklessly brave, and knows how to throw a pretty good punch. More than anything, she has power. As a matter of fact, she has more power than she knows what to do with. Enough power that hardly anyone questions why she doesn't bother to wear a mask; after all, who would be foolish enough to antagonize someone who could level a city? Widely regarded as the best hero in the world, Shimmer's white suit and wild red hair are known around the globe. All of that fear and respect don't exactly leave much room for friendship, but, in Shimmer's mind, that's just as well. She's completely devoted to her work, and she works alone. With so much power, she's never needed anyone's help. Until now.
