In the wake of a ban that made all heroes outlaws, a group of teens will rise up, led by their fearless leader. They will face challenges, betrayals, and secrets. If you think being a teenager is hard, try being a teenage superhero. Alone they are strong, but together they form something powerful, they form The Team.
If you're a fan of Teen Titans, Young Justice, and X-Men, then I assure you, you will absolutely love this story.
This story was created by myself and a friend of mines who goes by Lia. Lia does the majority of the writing while I only wrote the fight scenes for chapters 5 to 10 and any scenes involving a certain assassin that you all will be meeting soon. Lia writes basically everything else, even writing fight scenes past Chapter 10 so she could perfect her craft. Lia and I developed the story, mashing our creative minds together to bring this awesome story to you all. We posted this on another site, but we decided to bring it here to Wattpad where our story can gain the recognition it deserves. I'll be updating every Wednesday and do know that our chapters are long, so I have to split them up so all of you guys can enjoy it as much as we do.
Thank you for taking the time to read this story. Any suggestions (like a better summary or if you want to create a cover for us), comments, etc, leave a comment and I'll get back to you. If you have anything to say to Lia, the writer behind this story, let me know and I'll deliver the message for you.
WARNING!!! Do not be frightened by the number of pages throughout the story. It's because of the spacing, not because the story is long. Like the first chapter. It's about 5,000 words long, but takes up 9 pages. The chapters are short, readable and fun. The paragraphs are short as well, so you don't have to read a bunch. If you can get past this, I'm sure you will enjoy the story. It's worth it...
Enjoy :)
"Listen, I've got a proposition for you," Azure's firm voice flew across the soft wind of the graveyard, "something mutually beneficial."
Elliot stepped back slightly, "I doubt that."
Azure stepped closer and the street light flickered; he then whispered, it was soft, like the fall of dead leaves, "I can help you keep your scholarship. Don't you want to keep your dream a reality?"
Elliot narrowed his eyes, "Did you do a background check on me?"
"That doesn't answer my question."
"And that didn't answer mine."

Life had never been fair to Elliot.
After barely managing to scrape by, he somehow made it to his junior year at Central Haven, one of the most prestigious preparatory high schools in the country.
He was prepared for another two tiresome years of high school, but the future has other plans for him.
The start of the school year brings with it the infamous Central Haven merit project. Unfortunately, it's done in pairs this year. Even worse, he's stuck with Azure, notorious for his flippant demeanor.
His living situation gets worse and his scholarship is at risk.
Azure notices Elliot's struggles and the two make a deal.
Surely Azure's up to something, but what?
Regardless, Elliot isn't in a position to refuse.
...Perhaps they'll find and lose Liberation.

If you're unsure about this reading this story, I hope you'll at least stick around to chapter 7 when the story begins ramping up. This story is a slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers.
Please do not take this story at surface value as there is a lot of subtext. Be aware: the story can be extremely subtle.
The story delves into various topics with social commentary so if you want a nuanced modern romance story, I highly suggest you give this story a try.
Elliot is a strong protagonist, just less traditional.
Updates will come on Fridays at 4 p.m. (PST) with most months having at least one update. The ending is planned so the story won't be incomplete.
