Mercy Graves came into our lives as an ass kicking bodyguard and chauffeur to a billionaire. Until now, it was only super heroes and even super villains who had a backstory. But the pages before you will open the world to woman who would go on and fight some of the DC legends.
The first sixteen years of Mercy's childhood was spent in the system after her mother had died giving birth to her. Her father up and left immediately after. On the day of her last fight in her third group home she was told to pack her bags. Mercy had gotten really good at packing bags at the last minute. However, Mercy wasn't prepared for who awaited her in the Admission's office. Mercy was introduced to the twenty-four year old man who had come to claim her. To her surprise, he was the brother she never knew she had, but for how long?

Marinette Kent
Have you ever wondered what it's like being the only Kryptonian on earth without powers? It sucks. I'm Marinette Martha Kent. Yup that's right I'm the daughter of the man of steel....and I mostly take after my mom, so I'm utterly completely human. The worst part of being my father's daughter is I can't be a hero. His excuse is I don't have powers while there are heroes such as Green Arrow and Batman. An alien with no powers equals a worthless alien, and the entire justice league knows it to after all my father said so. At least I have my brothers who believe in me... I'm lying no one in my family thinks I can be a hero I'm just a dumb human to them. What's worse is even the bat family won't help me because they secretly agree, or at least that's what I think. So I did what any normal human would do when in an environment that doesn't believe in them I left. I applied for a 2-year foreign exchange program in France starting my high school year. Pairs, France here I come Characters belong to their rightful owners. (Daminette)Complete

Shea Dorsey didn't expect Metropolis to be easy. Between her demanding nursing job and raising her son, Bennett, life felt like a constant balancing act. Her new neighbor Clark Kent, however, was a welcome surprise. Quiet, dorky, and always willing to lend a hand. But after Superman saves Bennett from a near-tragedy, Shea begins to notice the connections: Clark's uncanny timing, his quiet strength, and those same, kind blue eyes. What begins as friendship turns into something more, but if Shea has uncovered Clark's secret, how long before someone more dangerous does? And when danger finally comes knocking, will Clark be able to protect the only people who've ever made him feel truly seen? /clinomaniiaa 2025\ ★Clark Kent/Superman x Female OC★Complete![Hatred Never Looked This Good (Young Justice) [1/3]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/92327206-256-k521275.jpg)
Hatred Never Looked This Good (Young Justice) [1/3]
-undergoing minor editing- In Book One of the NLTG series, Regina Hayden stumbles her way into Bruce Wayne's car and a new life as his protege, Jet Starling. However, after an incident at a LexCorp warehouse, Jet Starling is transformed into Pyrrha, member of the Light and enemy of the Justice League and the Team. In her first months as Pyrrha, she battles with her ever-mounting rage over Batman's betrayal, the Light who is constantly pushing her to her ethical limits, and her growing attraction to the sociopathic Lex Luthor. Surrounded by lies, Pyrrha finds herself needing to find who she truly is inside. Homicidal-prone villain or used and confused hero? --- "I don't believe you! I don't believe any of this! They wouldn't do this to me! They wouldn't abandon me!" I stumbled to the bed to hold on to something, anything. In the tussle with the two brutes, equipment was strewn throughout the room, including a metallic bed pan. In the vague reflective surface, I saw two red lights staring back at me. Frantically, I scavenged the room for a mirror but only found a glass cupboard door and saw my face clearly. No. Not my face. Her face. It was my features but none of my color. The skin was smooth. Too smooth and white. Colorless, in fact. Except for when my veins began pumping brighter and brighter the more panicked I became. My once grey eyes were now a burning red. My short hair, long. This wasn't my reflection. This was a monster. A demon. I fell to my knees and held my face in my hands as fire began erratically bursting from my skin, only terrifying me more. I felt a hand gently pull my hand from my face and held it tight. I looked up to see Luthor, the surprise calming my sporadic flames. His face was genuinely sad even as he winced from my heat. "Darling, don't fall apart," he whispered. "What am I?" I pleaded, still on the brink of tears. "A god among men." --- Spotify playlist link in profileComplete

Flipping Coin - Forever Between Choices
A Wayne's path was written long before they could walk it. Born to power, bound to legacy. As the sole heir to a dynasty of wealth and philanthropy, Cassandra Wayne, Gotham's golden princess, was destined to inherit her mother's grace, not her father's empire, not his war. But all of changed the night her parents died. From their ashes the Bat of Gotham rose. Not a myth. Not a man. But a young woman who refused to let the city her parents built fall into ruin. She fought alone, until a farm boy from Kansas fell out of the sky and called himself Superman. Where she had only known shadows, he was sunlight. So bright, unshakable and endlessly hopeful. Cass never understood his faith in humanity. Not when she had seen the worst of it. Not when so many good people were lost. But he was Superman and maybe, just for once, she wanted to believe in heroes too. Or: What if Batman was a woman and Superman met her when they were both still young enough to believe they could save the world?Complete

COINCIDENCE, clark kent.
"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞!" Fiona Starling never believed in fate. She trusted logic, facts and headlines, not destiny. As a hard-nosed journalist in Metropolis, her world was grounded in truth, not fantasy. So when Superman kept showing up to save her-again and again, even when danger wasn't near- she told herself it was just a coincidence. But those lingering glances... the way his touch stayed too long... the way her heart beat faster whenever he was near- it all felt like something more. And Fiona couldn't let it go. Determined to uncover the truth, she turns to the one man who seems to know everything about Superman: the quiet, insightful reporter Clark Kent. But as she digs deeper into the mystery, Fiona begins to uncover secrets. One in particular that could rewrite everything she thought she knew about Superman... and herself. Because some coincidences aren't coincidences at all. [clark kent/superman x fem!oc] [superman]
Micheal Quebec: The Spider

It will be my own interpretations of the characters, But at the same time I'll try and make the characters still feel like they're character as much as I can, Obviously yk they still have to feel like they're original character, I'll be using Ai Art for designs of the characters, Also will use the game Spider-Man 2 for reference photos/videos, Chapters will be published overtime/whenever a new chapter is done.

Atlas
(Y/N) moved to Gotham to give herself and her son Eilis a fresh start. Sure, people thought she was crazy for leaving Metropolis for a crime run city, but she had her reasons. While she had hoped to meet with the Big Bad Bat, she wasn't expecting to also befriend the multimillionaire playboy and his children, the Waynes. Not to mention tons of other heroes, villains, and people in between. Without realizing it, (Y/N)'s slowly begun her ascent to the top of the food chain. Somehow becoming the most influential person in Gotham. And all she wanted to do was thank Batman for saving her life a few years back. "I thought I would crumble under the weight of the world, but Bruce carried the sky without ever saying a word. He was my Atlas." Also if u question their age, just don't. Whatever age you want to image him is fine because I image him at like 30 to 35 but he would probably be more like 40s. And the same for (y/n) because she's like 25 to 30 in my head. So don't think about it to much 😘Complete
A New Love (Bruce Wayne (Batman) x reader)
You're a doctor from one of the small hospitals in Gotham. You have a gift called eidetic memory (means you remember everything from what you see to what you read) and have good fighting skills in order to defend yourself due to the high rates of crime in Gotham. You use your good memory by studying all areas of medicine and use it to help people that don't have enough money to pay specialists. Bruce Wayne knows of you but you don't know him till he talks to you in one of his charity events. I started writing my first fanfic story because I read a lot of fan fiction were the reader is "batmom" usually the storyline is about how she was this amazing hero who fights with the batfamily. Of course different artists have their own unique batmom. But somehow all of the batmoms that I have read didn't really have what I wanted so it just inspired me to write my own batmom. Hope you enjoy my story.Complete
