action adventure romance shadow superhero supervillain

I live in a pretty screwed up world. 
    I mean, we all do, but mine's a little more screwed up than your average American city. 
    First off, I have that cliché sort of crush on my best friend. The second part of that cliché is that he's interested in every other girl but me.
    Second, we have superheroes. A lot of them. Flying everywhere like annoying insects, teleporting like it doesn't scare the crap out of the rest of us, defeating bad guys like they're the new Mr. Incredible. The whole works. 
    The third thing is, I'm one of those superheroes. 
    My name is Kiera Knight, but the rest of the world knows me as Shadow. 
_________________________
Kiera Knight has been saving Cryptic City from her nemesis, Blaze, for two years now. As soon as she thinks she's got him under control, the wildfire spreads chaos through both of her lives-as Shadow and Kiera. But she soon finds out that masks can't hide every secret, and she might have been helping guard a secret that could put Cryptic City in ruins. 

"I hate supervillains. But after being a superhero, I think I'd prefer to be a supervillain now."

Shadows and Secrets by RNYmoon

Chaos is mischievous and naughty, but she is also not the type of villain that targets random people and for no reason. She has her own morals but of course, the heroes in Nexus city are too high up their noses to even realise that. However, it does not bother Chaos too much as she is having fun messing those "big-nosed peacocks" as she called them, as her bonus missions. Now as Circe Starlan however, she was the complete opposite. A talented, sharp, observant and kind girl who ironically, works in the police force. She solves a lot of cases, catches a lot of normal criminals, and is even a well-liked woman among her peers and everyone who knows Circe. Especially with her blonde hair and blue eyes making her look like the typical angel described in stories. No wonder no one had ever connected Chaos and Circe as the same person, they're the complete opposite! Like any other villain, they always have a hero archnemesis. That's where Luminary came in. A superhero who is always there to stop Chaos' mischiefs and terrorising (because to be fair, not all of her attacks are a mere mischief. Some of them are actually life-threatening!). Luminary and Chaos had been in each other's butt, fighting and being pranked (Luminary that is). Chaos did not hate him; she was just annoyed at his constant interrupting. Although it does give her some entertainment sometimes. But what happens when a new hero who just transferred from Asteria city causes Chaos' whole lives to become unstable. It looks like they know each other...why does this new hero always look at Chaos with a sad look? Like he is grieving over a loss of someone? What happened?

Rival by lillian_02

At 14 he took something from me and no one cared. I tried telling my mother what happened but she brushed off, people thought I was lying and carried on with there day. At 18 I killed him. I didn't mean too it was an accident of course. One that I've been hiding all these years. Now I do it for a living, it's my job. It's not like it was my choice I was thrown into this world clueless and vulnerable. But now I would never show them my weakness, never show them what was locked inside my heart. His death is the only death that haunts me and I'm afraid it always will. Kiera was shoved into a world she had no idea actually existed. After being found in the ally way drenched in blood by Sebastian, he took her in under his wing and showed her how to become one of his murderous soldiers. Ronan had always been the best assassin, no one could beat him. He always did the job right and never left a trail behind. That was before she came along, waltzing in like a scared little lamb and snatching his top spot from under his nose. he absolutely despised her. After being assigned to kill America's senator they have no choice but to work together if they want to survive but what happens when you put a lamb in a room with a lion? TW: rape, sexual assault, abuse

The Hero's Guide to Heroing by TheGuyNoOneRemembers

A story about superheroes in a modern world. Once, humans and power wielders were at war. The war brought both side to the brink of destruction, forcing peace or extinction. A tentative peace prevailed for a time. Enough to build trust between the two sides for many years. But as the two sides grew together some of the old hatreds began to stir again. Those who held these old hatreds became known as villains, while those who fought them became known as heroes. "Are you sure this will work?" one of the figures around the table ask. All are dressed in black and hide their faces. No one wants to be known to anyone else in 'this' type of alliance. "I'm certain of it. We need to simply kill the few true heroes left, and then expose the rest for the self righteous corrupt creatures they are. I've already started gathering the pieces I need." "What's the end goal here?" a third figure asks. "To purge the world of corruption and all those who turn a blind eye to it." There is a long silence before a fourth voice speaks out. "Your talking about mass slaughter. I won't be a part of this." the figure stands and begins to leave the table. "It seems there is corruption in our very own ranks.... I suppose the best place to start is within the inner vessel, is it not?" "No! What are you Doing? Stop!"

The Iron Guardian (A Human x Anthro Superhero Story) by arm0da

A 22-year-old human boy builds a suit of armor, testing it only to inadvertently cause himself to escape the Earth's atmosphere, drifting off into a deep cryonic sleep, after tens of thousands of days in this frozen state. Then, after what feels like a long time drifting in space, he wakes up, entering a planet, believing he is re-entering Earth's atmosphere. However, when he lands roughly on the dunes of a beach, he realizes that the world he has entered is not Earth at all, but a society filled with anthropomorphic beings. Thinking this might be the only thing that exists, he is soon confronted with an attack in their city, where they are saved by superheroes who happen to be anthropomorphic creatures with superpowers, adorned in costumes that symbolize themselves. It seems unbelievable that they are real. In my world back on Earth, they were fictional and mythical icons found in comic books, movies, and TV shows. After rescuing a superhero from an encounter with a monstrous reptile-like creature in the city, he retreats to the woods. He hides for about a year, living and trying to gather as much knowledge as he can about this new world and the superheroes it contains. He believes he is living an easy life, away from the foreign society. But after saving a school bus filled with anthropomorphic kids from a disastrous fall, ensuring they would not be left behind, he is discovered again. However, at his long-awaited hiding spot, he was in the woods. He was greeted by an anthropomorphic tiger who happened to be the director of the superhero protection agency (SPA) and offered him a place in it.

Seven in the Shadows | Justice League Unlimited by DreadMaximus

He is not a hero. He is not a savior. He is a man who wanted nothing but silence, yet carries the weight of a god in his veins. When an alien warrior falls and a broken young man becomes its unwilling host, the world gains a new protector it never asked for. Every battle drains him, scars him, hollows him out. The Justice League searches for answers. Amanda Waller plots to weaponize him. And in the shadows, monsters rise - kaiju born from the darkest sins of humanity itself. He fights not for glory, not for justice, but because something inside him refuses to let the world collapse completely. He hates humanity. He hates himself even more. But sometimes, the deepest despair hides the faintest spark of light. And somewhere between the ruins, someone sees him - someone who might matter more than the war itself. Seven in the Shadows is a mythic, brutal, and human story for anyone who has ever lost faith in the world, yet still wonders if it's worth saving. Justice League Unlimited and Young Justice

Super? by secretlySwitzerland

"Stop pretending to be an idiot, idiot." Ouch. It burns. "You're starting to sound like a dear old friend of mine," she adds, her tone implying that her "friend" isn't so much of a "friend" as a mortal enemy who she probably also dragged into an alley on multiple occasions. Because she must be a fan of alley-dragging. Theater major. "I bet that friend was super amazing," I retort anyway. "She'd have to be to put up with you." Oh! Snap! I grin like an idiot at my own joke, realize how uncool that is, and then quickly rearrange my face into a frown. "I'm sorry. I don't quite understand. You're supposed to be a superhero, so why are you threatening a fellow superhero? Isn't that kind of against our code or whatever?" "You don't have a code. Superheroes who follow codes don't drop off information about people's allegedly dead sons at their doorsteps and then run." Well, can't say she doesn't have a point there. -- After being framed for the horrific murder of Birchwood City's most revered superhero's six year-old son, Maya Waterman abandons her super-villain persona and finds herself lost without any sense of identity and purpose. Being hunted by a vengeful super is hard enough, but after her employer fires her and she's evicted from her apartment, Maya begins to become something she had prayed she would never become again- helpless. She needs nothing less than a miracle to save herself, and much to her surprise, she gets just that-- even if it entails her trying her hand at becoming a good guy for once.

A Bird's Eye View: The Villain and the Hero's Love Affair by imnotcomfortablehere

You're just a little birdie, minding your own business-flying around, dodging falling leaves, trying not to get too involved in the messes of the city below. But, oh, the drama! The masked hero and the brooding villain you've been watching for months-yeah, those two? They have a lot of secrets. The hero's perfect, obviously, saving the world and all that. But the villain? Oh, dear. By day, they wear a mask of evil and power, but you've seen what happens when the cape comes off. There's some serious darkness lurking in their private life-self-loathing, quiet pain, and way too many late-night mood swings. But don't worry, the villain's got it under control... or so they think. You thought their love story was one of those sweet "enemies-to-lovers" kind of deals, until you saw the truth from way up here. It's a mess. Betrayal. Anger. Love. Secret identities. A fight that's way more personal than you ever imagined. But hey, that's not your problem, right? You're just a bird. Except, well... Maybe you care. Maybe you're the one who's been flying around, wondering if their messy, secret love story will ever have a happy ending-or if one of them will end up on the wrong side of the city's skyscraper (literally). From your vantage point, it's a little too close for comfort, but hey-no one ever said love was easy, even for villains and heroes. Just try not to get caught in the crossfire, okay?
