My superhero and I.

Lexy, lived what we'd call a normal life. Supporting parents, annoying brother, amazing friends and pretty good grades in high school.
She was going to graduate in a few months and all seemed to be going well.
Until the middle of the school year, when the school made a shocking announcement; the government was looking for volunteers to test their superhero "drinks". They assured everyone that they had no side effects apart from the possibility of gaining superpowers and also winning a substantial amount of money.
Of course, Lexy, struggling to save money for her college tuition, couldn't help but feel like this was an opportunity for her. And besides, what's the worse that could happen?

On the other side of town, where houses were grander, security was tighter and money was flowing faster, lived Pierce Holmes. He also was in his last year of high school, living a strict life that consisted of abiding to his single father's every rule in exchange for a bit of peace of mind and freedom. And why all this rigidity, you ask? It's life in the spotlight. Every intricate detail mattered when your father is the Maire of the entire town and everyone's judgmental gaze was fixated on you.
But something happened. An order from above came to his father. They were to make teens, the people of tomorrow, that were in all of the town's high schools, take a genetically altering " drink". According to them, it had no serious consequences. All they had to do was come down to the lab, take it and see if you end up getting superpowers.
This was Pierce's chance to regain control. He could use this against his father and finally gain the respect he deserves. It might not work out but it was worth a try.

Will they succeed in their respective plans? Will their paths cross while doing so? And what if gaining superpowers isn't as glamorous as the media makes it to be? What if there was a much darker and sinister side awaiting them behind the gilded wall of super-heroism?
