While serving his life sentence, Marcus Thorne, better known as the Arkham Knight is visited by the last person he ever expected to see, Blonde Blazer. At first, he thought she was there to gloat about finally brining him in. But, when she offers Marcus an alternative means to serve out his life sentence, he's left both intrigued and confused. That's when she told him about the Phoenix Program, an experiment that seeks to turn villains into heroes. Marcus found it laughable to say the least, but if joining the program meant he got his freedom back, he wasn't going to complain.

When Worlds Collide
Book 2 of the 'Demigod in Gotham' Series When Nico moved to Gotham, all he wanted was to do good. He never asked to be adopted by Bruce Wayne. He never asked for Slade to come after him. He never asked to die. And more than anything else, he never asked to be revived. ---------- "I excused what you did with Slade, but you cannot continue to break rules and put yourself at risk-" Nico laughed. "Excused? You excused it?" Nightwing approached the table, probably knowing where this was going. "Demo-" The demigod ignored his brother. "Slade wanted to sell my people as slaves. Not only did he deserve to die, but he needed to." Bruce stood up, his hands on the table. "Slade's death was not your call and I respected that-" "No, you were forced to accept it because you couldn't stop me. You wanted me to spare him, just like every single one of your sons have up until that point, but how did that work out? When did Slade ever face justice for all the things he had done after they spared him? He deserved to die for everything he had done!" "It is not our place-" "Then thank f*ck that it actually was my place to do what you never could!" Bruce clenched his jaw. They stared at each other for a long moment before Bruce finally said, "We fight for justice, not vengeance. If you allow yourself to sink down to that place, you may never come back. It will kill you if you keep on fighting to avenge things that have not even happened yet" Nico stared at his father, the rage that had been boiling underneath his skin every second since he had woken up back in November began to break through the surface. He took off his domino mask and tossed it onto the table, making sure that Bruce had to look at his eyes-- the ones that no longer resembled the fourteen year old that Bruce had once asked to join his family. "Good thing I already died then." --------- daily updates @ 12:15 am EST (starting April 8th )Complete

Gunner (Soon To Be Leaving...)
Aria has spent her life playing it safe. Quiet job. Quiet routine. Quiet heart. Then Gunner crashes into her world like a storm she never saw coming. He's ruthless in the ring, controlled everywhere else, and far too dangerous for a woman like her to want. But the more time Aria spends in his orbit, the more he awakens parts of her she's spent years burying--desire, courage, hunger, and a reckless need to trust the one man she probably shouldn't. Gunner knows exactly what it means to lose the people he loves. That's why he's determined to make Aria stronger. Sharper. Untouchable. Because enemies from his past are moving closer, and the threat circling him is no longer aimed at just him. It's aimed at her. As obsession turns into something deeper, Aria is pulled into a world of violence, secrets, and forbidden pleasure--where every lesson Gunner teaches her could mean survival, and every touch blurs the line between pain and need. But danger isn't always waiting in the shadows. Sometimes it comes from the past. Sometimes it wears a familiar face. And when betrayal finally strikes, Gunner and Aria may lose far more than each other.Complete
