Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete

Started in the light, pulled to the dark ( a Sharkboy and lavagirl story)
I know what you must be thinking. Why not name this title ' the adventures of Sharkboy, lavagirl and whatever my name is'? Well because that would of ruin the whole story. For this is not really my story, i was not created as a dream. I'm an actual human and I did not come from max, nor planet drool. I was born on earth like every other normal child there is. The only thing different about me is that I have a special power. Although I don't seem to know about this power, nor understand how to use it I'm a main target for everyone. I can rather save everybody from a terrible event or destroy everyone within seconds. Because of this I am very weary around people and shy too. As I try my best to blend in it becomes harder and harder each day to keep my self from exposing this energy. The worse part is I don't even know I have it! Well not until later on. Until that time comes I have a lot more to fix to be prepared for it. Highest Rank: #16 in lavagirlComplete

𝕚𝕟𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕥𝕪 | p.p. x reader | book two.
Months after the events of my first year in New York, things have returned to a small bit of normalcy. No supervillains to deal with, unless you count an overload of homework and teenage hormones. Instead of tackling super enhanced villains and ultra smart criminals, we're all tackling heartbreak and lost relationships. As painful as it is, it's the most normal I've felt in a while. It wouldn't stay that way for long. No, something always has to come along and turn the normalcy I once knew into something so insanely crazy I never would have imagined it happened to me. And now I have everything to gain and nothing to lose. -------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP RANKINGS: #167 in science #63 in please #294 in space #408 in superpowers #3 in electrocution #330 in infinitywarComplete

If It gets enough love ill rewrite** In a world where superpowers are rare, only 0.1% of the population is born with extraordinary abilities-known as the *Powered*. For centuries, these individuals have lived in the shadows, concealing their powers from the rest of humanity. But when a series of mysterious events start to unravel, a group of young Powered individuals are drawn together by fate, each unaware of the others, and each carrying a power that could reshape the world.Complete
