Sinking.
Right now, I'm sinking.
Not the usual way, like 'can't swim' sinking, but the 'I've got a weight attached to my foot that is pulling me down deeper and deeper into the depths of the ocean' sinking.
Well, I guess I should first introduce myself. I'm Shadow, but others might call me (y/n). I'm a superhero. You might ask what my powers are: I can fly, breathe underwater, wield telekinetic powers, and I'm an acrobat. You probably wonder why I'm not using my superpowers to get out of this situation, but that is the problem. Let me explain my story, starting when I met the young justice crew and my fiancé, Nightwing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Immersed in the Gotham and Young Justice world, join in reading as you discover the secrets of the Batman, become engaged to his protege, and learn what it's like to have powers, and then lose them.
A sinking superhero is about a heroine with many powers, a tragic past, and a future in constant unraveling, filled with twists, turns, and dropped points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do not own any DC Universe characters, except the main character.
Hey all you lovelies!!! Well, as of 2/3/26, I have decided to try updating this book again. Only because it seems to have become popular again, haha. I'll update this occasionally and try to fix my writing and grammar. But for any of you reading this now, I encourage you to also take a peek at my other book, which I have been writing and hope to publish in the future, and make it part of a series! Thank you all for all the support❤️

Fascinating Villains
[ONGOING] "You're delusional. I should've seen it before..." ~~~~~~~ Tanza is an agender paramedic. They rely solely on themselves, and the last thing they need is for an incredibly attractive supervillain to disturb their (relatively) quiet existence. However, if time can prove anything, it is that sometimes what we need most is not what we could ever have imagined. This story takes place in Gotham City, and therefore within the universe of DC (Detective Comics), making it technically a fan-fiction. Regardless, all the characters and storylines are my own work, except for a few Easter eggs which are aimed for DC fans. I strongly believe the world of superhero fiction could use some diversity and that is exactly what I hope to gift you all with this novel! Furthermore, I have absolutely no professional experience as a paramedic or EMT, so I did as much research as I could to try and have a realistic portrayal of this career, but of course it is not perfect. If you have any pertinent suggestions that could improve that aspect of my story, feel free to comment. ~~~~~~~ Available only on Wattpad. Written by Dominique-Payne.

Why would anyone fall for the Dark Knight?

After being released from a mental hospital in the city of Bludhaven, Dahlia realizes that she has gained the new ability of telekinesis. Her new powers have garnered her some attention in the city, and after almost being kidnapped she was saved by none other than the masked vigilante, Nightwing. After agreeing to help train her, Dahlia and Dick Grayson start their journey together to figure out the mystery of her newfound powers and stop the enemies after her, while developing a passionate romance as they start to uncover the mysteries behind each other.Complete
