What if having superpowers was not a gift but a curse? Would you still choose to use it?

Aleksandra Leszczyńska works as an agent for a secret government organisation training people with superpowers - the Gifted - to work as a police support force. Working as a public servant to keep peace and order was always her dream, but she struggles as her gift is not as valuable for the field. Still, she refuses to be turned into back-office support. The situation changes when she rescues a cute Gifted from kidnapping and stumbles upon a deviant who dies in excruciating pain, consumed by his own power. 

After confirming that it's a fate awaiting most of the Gifted, every agent must question if they still want to remain in the organisation and keep using their powers. 

However, as deviants scheme to kidnap more innocent people and use them for their repulsive experiments, only the Gifted can stop them.All Rights Reserved

We all need a Hero by Ibis_Cus

In this world, some people were said to be gifted, gifted magic, a power, or multiple at once in only one being. Those were strong beings who always kept their gifts to themselves as to not scare the masses and stay out of trouble. While most of them would rather live normal lives and use their powers to their very own advantage, it did happen some decided to use their powers for something bigger, whether it be for the greater good or vile intentions. In other words what you'd know as Villains or Heroes. In the capital city of l'manburg they were a very well-known group of super villains, they were known as the ACES. But to bring back harmony stood against them the Dream Team. Them and 404 apparently, a hero who played his part all by himself. No one knew anything of him, yet he knew everything about the Dream Team. How? No one knew. Maybe because they were all friends since high school, ah, or was it the fact he single handedly build all of their scientifically-prodigious-costumes, oh not to mention he was married to one. Those were probably the reasons yeah. ----------------- OR, in this fic dnf are married and both heroes but Dream doesn't know his hubby is also one. George is a genius and a scientist. Yeah both at once, ain't it hot? Karlnap are boyfriends and roomies. Skephalo are fiancés. Hannah, Sylvee, Cate and Puffy are ALL the villains. Oh, yeah and they all have super powers.

(#1) Roommates by Day, Enemies by Night by magnetichearts02

WARNING: CONTAINING AMOUNTS OF SASS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO MANKIND In the city of NYC--- Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another cliché teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel! Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out? Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind. Fangirl out.

Particles of Mist by Laurence-Wolf

In a world of superpowers superheroes are desperately needed ... But people aren't like that, there are more villains than heroes and even more content to do nothing. Alice West is no exception. But when people around her start vanishing and a few weeks later ORB -- a company that makes powered tech -- creates something that mimics the people's powers, she starts to investigate. And discovers there's more to ORB than meets the eye. Kidnapping, murder, weapons dealing and more. All happening underneath the noses of the entire country while they profit from it by selling their tech to the highest bidder. Including law enforcement. Determined to do something about it before she's next on their list, she resolves to fight against them, expose their crimes and stop their poisonous influence from spreading around the world. However, she can't do it alone, she'll need help and she seeks it out in the very people ORB is trying to subjugate. Deciding to gather some of the most powerful people in the world together to fight against the people who would oppress them. The only problem? Getting them to agree to it.

Darkened Hearts by signedbyleah

It all started with a superhero, one who vowed to help save the world and use her powers for good....But how can one keep a promise if they don't remember making it? What happens when the lines to right and wrong blur? When promises have to be broken? When the one thing you thought you could never lose, your morality, comes into question. What happens when the only person in the world that understands you is the person you believed was evil. But a reputation can be fabricated, evidence can be tampered and memories can be manipulated. How does one decide who's good and who's bad? Who's the hero and who's a villain? Maybe the only real difference between the two is a change in perspective or perhaps keeping an open mind. Sometimes even a "Villain" has a good side and even a "Hero" has a bad one...so what would happen if they were to see eye to eye?....Who would be there to pull them from the deep end?...or maybe the high tide is exactly where they want to be.

The Gift by ch1llal0ne

I ducked my head, thinking about the risk I was about to take. I was breathing quickly. I looked around, making sure people weren't around--and jumped and ran. I refused to use my powers, because I knew it would end in disaster... The bullets flew around me, so close to me I knew it was just a matter of time before it hit me. I zigzagged desperately, panting, with tears rolling down my eyes. I had to get to safety.**After her parents and younger twin sisters died in a car crash, she had no way to learn to control her gift. She never understood what it was. She never had an idea, since she was too young to remember what happened when she used them, so now, at the age of fifteen, she had a nice foster family, and a lonely life. When she made a mistake to trust Cole, she had to dig herself out, and then try to figure out her real friends, Eli, Blizzard, Cher, Cole, Roxxii, and Micah. On the run, she had to learn to control herself. The stakes were high in the life of Nichole Everett.

Scorched Earth [ONC 2024] by dragonthusiast

[ONC 2024 Longlisted] Marek has worked for the Society of Powereds in Service of Community (SOPISOC) for as long as he can remember. He's got a great superhero team, his best friends, fighting supervillains by his side. But there is one supervillain he just can't bring himself to fight anymore-the love of his life, Varen. Unable to handle things as they are anymore, Marek decides to escape from the SOPISOC HQ and run away with his lover and join him in his life of crime. Being a superhero was getting boring anyways. As it turns out, though, his choice is the right one for more than one reason when they are faced with a high level conspiracy in need of untangling. The heroic organization's leadership might not be so heroic itself, and it's up to Marek and Varen to save the day.

Spectacular World by RainyLiquid2020

Hope Lauren has read her share of comics. She's seen supers around her city and even been saved by some on occasion. And she always hoped that she'd be able to join them. With Jack, her grizzled older mentor with secrets that could shake the world, and Pantheon, a new team of heroes, Hope will have to fight against monumental odds to save Oleander City. In a world of action, comedy, tragedy, and adventure, there's plenty for a new hero to do. *Readers can expect a mostly adventure-themed superhero journey that will include a slice of life, action, and hopefully exciting world-building. It will also contain a slow-burn GL/Yuri plotline, which I'll eventually get to when I feel like it, I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs* New chapter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Cursed Heart by rodriguez_sofia

Born with the gift of fire powers, Elara Thatcher struggles with betrayal, revenge, love, school and family. All that and she's trying to run from many people trying to kill her. After a chain of tragic events happen Elara faces the curses and villains, making history. But one question still haunts her dreams, "Am I the villain?" It probably seems like a very innocent book in the first few chapters but it gets WAY worse. Read the tags to find out. :) It also might seem a little boring at the start (IT GETS BETTER I SWEAR 😭) I had to rewrite it so most of the chapters will say Coming soon. Warnings: Language, Sex, Romance, Action, Smoking, Substance Abuse, Drinking, Teen partying, Violence, Blood and Gore :) -CURRENTLY BEING HEAVILY EDITED- THANK YOUUUU!!
