"I never wanted to be a superhero. Keep your head down, and use your powers only if your life is absolutely at risk."
_____
Seventeen-year-old Zara Mitchell has spent years following her own advice-until a supervillain's attack traps her on a runaway train with two hundred passengers, including her best friend.
The rescue goes viral. The world's most powerful heroes demand to train her. The government wants her registered. And she discovers she's one of only fifteen people on Earth with the potential to face global threats.
Her secret is out, and there's no going back:
- A boyfriend who loves her but never knew who she really was
- Training designed for heroes with decades of experience-she has months to catch up
- A choice between two mentors who could reshape how she sees everything
- Government secrets that make her question who the real enemies are
- Enemies who'll destroy anyone she cares about to get to her
Caught between the normal life she fought to protect and the hero the world desperately needs, Zara must master abilities she never wanted to use, navigate love built on hidden truths, and discover what it means to stop hiding from who she really is.
One choice exposed everything she'd kept secret.
Every choice after will determine if she can protect the people she loves-or if her power will destroy the life she was trying to save.

The Air Out Of [Wattys2018 shortlist]
*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting. [minimal changes] The plot will generally be the same, I'm just removing some plot holes and grammatical inconsistencies* #974 dysotopian - out of 1.8k stories #442 science fiction - out of 5.9k storiesComplete
Half Hero ⚡️ {Superhero Adventure Scifi}
I should be dead. At least, that's what the government officials told me in the super-secret lab where I woke up strapped to a mattress in a windowless room...Sound problematic to anyone else? Like I told the psychos experimenting on me, I've got zero clue how I got my new powers, but I'm sure-as-shit not going to let them turn me into a deadly weapon (or squeeze me into a spangly jumpsuit). Problem is, I'm not so great at controlling whatever the hell it is I've become...Not to mention I'm on the run from my country for a teensy-weensy act of treason while being chased by a shadowy masked mute who may or may not have superhuman abilities too (but is definitely stupid hot under his off-putting disguise). I'm only 25 and my career choices have been limited to hero or villain. WTF?!? Indie Author Fangirl Moments: 1. SHORTLISTED FOR A 2021 Watty (WTF?!?) 2. A FEATURED STORY ON WATTPAD'S SUPERHERO LIST: GIRL POWER! 3. FIRST PLACE WINNER IN THE 2021 PUNK ROCK AWARDS, ACTION & ADVENTURE CATEGORYComplete
Burning Stars | Tony Stark x OC
Lyra Thorne was never supposed to be in the spotlight. A quantum physicist with a haunted past and a mind that outpaced the greatest minds of her generation, she spent most of her life buried in lab work and theoretical anomalies-until an experiment meant to stabilize quantum energy tore open a cosmic rift and changed her forever. Now bound to the Phoenix Force-an ancient, living entity of pure creation and destruction-Lyra is more than human. She is power incarnate. And that makes her a threat. When Tony Stark learns of Lyra's condition during the early days of his transformation into Iron Man, he's drawn to her-not just for her brilliance, but for the fire she hides behind sharp words and calculated restraint. As the Avengers rise, fall, and rise again, Lyra stands beside them-not always in the headlines, but always where it counts. From the battlefields of New York to the time-bending war against Thanos, Lyra walks the line between control and collapse. She is both weapon and salvation. But the Phoenix Force is not silent. And as Tony confronts his own legacy, Lyra must face a terrifying truth: the greatest threat to the universe may be the power inside her. In a world of gods, geniuses, and monsters, what happens when the most dangerous entity in the cosmos falls in love with the one man who dared to change?

Heroes at Heart
"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business." Max Owens is your average high school sophomore. Well, he tries to be, at least. At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly. Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they? We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart. (Based on a writing prompt / story request by tumblr user "fallingivy")Complete

(#1) Roommates by Day, Enemies by Night
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.Complete
