Rose Waters was changed the day she visited the Verisian Temple. She came back reserved, quiet. She would lash out and cry herself to sleep after exhausting meltdowns. She was broken.

Unless she is hidden behind a mask.

Verity (who is Rose in a different sense) was happy with life, she saved people, she was good. People loved her and celebrated her.

They called her verity because it meant truth, and Verity could tell the truth, at least she could read minds.

But how could that help a broken girl when no one knows it's her.

*** This is my contest application for @SciKick 's 'Superheroes VS. (Super) Villains' contest. Hope it isn't as horrible as I think it is! (200 word limits are HARD)

Lightning and Starlight by florencehmorwen

After a careless scientific accident with new elements, people with supernatural abilities began to surface. Society adjusted, and social norms changed. Heroes and villians surfaced, making the world more complicated. Fast-forward one hundred years. Neera Sanchez fights for her survival as a supervillain. She does what she can to survive, inadvertently making her a target for the heroes. Behind her mask, she struggles in personal battles, alone. When her abusive boyfriend and her own fight against depression overtake her, she's introduced to the world of superheroes. Vincent Ciobanu is a new hero at a local base. He introduces himself to the ex-villain and takes Neera's focus away from the pain and suffering she had been used. Neera grows as she gets used to her new life. Times change and things shift for the worse as Neera's ex, Koen James, comes back into her life stronger as a supervillain, threatening the peace of the world and the freedom Neera discovered. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Neera's eyes closed and her chest rose as she breathed deeply, trying her hardest to focus her power on the heroes nearing her. She opened her eyes, watching intently as the heroes slowly crowded on the rooftop around her. The moon illuminated their serious masked faces and flashy suits, giving Neera the opportunity to figure out what powers they might possess. She kept her eyes halfway closed and studied them. Most of the suits were at least 75% black. One hero stuck out in her blue suit. It had no black on it. Neera was wary of the color of her suit. /How did I end up here?/ One of the heroes had surprised her with a lucky hit almost a minute ago. She had felt the impact and acted on it, diving to the ground. She had a better fighting chance against the six when they were caught off guard. And if one of them had the ability to purify water, it would all go down hill. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Romance; mental-health awareness; superheroes; abuse

For the sake of her life, Ember does whatever she can to keep a low profile everywhere she goes, even in school. But, when four of the most powerful High-tier vampires in the world set their eyes on her, she is thrown into a whirlwind of chaos, unable to remain hidden in the shadows. Now, only one question remains. Will those High-tiers protect her, or will they ruin her? Maybe it will be a little bit of both. Who knows? DISCLAIMER: The original title of this story was Twisted Blood which had previously been published to the app, Episode. If, by some chance, any of my readers from Episode have come across this story, then I'd like to just thank you for giving both versions a try. :)
No Superheroes Allowed by Amgeek

Long ago a group of superheroes and villains worked together to prevent an invasion. But they managed to kill more people than they saved. Their destruction caused the perception of those with powers to dramatically shift; to the point of outcast. 50 years later crime as only increased to the point where not even the police respond to calls. Few heroes went into hiding to 'play normal'; like my family and I. I live in New Haven City. I've been lucky enough that I don't have powers that attract too much attention --- Everything was going great. Everything was normal. Until Jamie was forced to confront the reality of her situation. The mayor who has been running the NSA was beginning to take drastic measures. Sending many supers off to another island. Stealing their powers. Forcing others to betray their own kind. The victims of these horrific acts are not taking that lightly. Why not make a team of heroes? A team that doesnt give a shit what the NSA or the Mayor has to say. A team of young teens who probably don't even listen to each other. That will save the world...
Heroes at Heart by TwylaGrimm

"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business." Max Owens is your average high school sophomore. Well, he tries to be, at least. At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly. Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they? We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart. (Based on a writing prompt / story request by tumblr user "fallingivy")

"Rain begins to pour from the sky, mixing with the bright red liquid pooling at the figure's feet. Her long black hair sticks to her pale face, her black eyes blank as she stares at the body laying at her feet." Life has always been hard for the dark hero, and the final straw was when her girlfriend becomes abusive. After a fight with her twin ends in his death, she goes undercover as a villian to stop government documents from being stolen. It's also a nice distraction from her past. However, when she catches a young hero's attention will she be able to continue her mission or will it all go downhill? After years of abuse, this sparky hero flees her family before they can marry her off. Life becomes interesting when a dark villain catches her eye. Can she break through their walls or will fate tear them apart? ((Trigger warning for rape,domestic violence, and child loss. I wanted to make a hero that shows even the toughest of people struggle with issues like dv and rape, and it's ok to ask for help.))

Today the Academy has reclaimed itself by changing their name, and their reason for existence. The Academy of Manipulation and Control became "Acamancy," a safe haven for young adults to learn about, improve upon, and gain control over their gifts. They learn how to not only how to succeed in school, but how to live amongst society with their gifts, and most importantly how to use those gifts to change their lives, and their entire world, for the better. The Echoes of Rivalry and Ruin follows 19-year-old Emalyne Thatcher on her journey through her first year at the Academy. Striving to keep up her reputation as top of the class, Emalyne learns about not only Acamancy, but learns about herself. Watch as her trials and triumphs in class, romance, friendship, and the battle grounds unfold. Will "The Flamers" ruin her chances at a successful Acamancy education? Will she make it at Acamancy or be forced to live her worst nightmare, a "Normie" life... Will Emmie find love or let her anxious mind get in the way, as always. Will Emmie choose her love life over her friendships? Or will she abandon both in order to keep her top spot in the classroom...
