Powers That Be is a look into a world of Superhumans. Some want to be heroes. Some become villains. Most just want to be left alone. What happens when one Super goes too far and exposes the secret of Superhumans to the whole world?
This is an introductory chapter; basically a treatment of what you might see in the first Powers That Be novel, entitled Renegade. Renegade is the story of a former US Special Forces soldier who lost life in the War on Terror - and found a new one as part of a clandestine organization that hunts down superpowered threats.

Degenerate Renegades [Book 1]
People never forget those that hurt them. People never forget those that made them feel helpless. Most of all, people never forget those that injected fear and helplessness altogether into them. Such is the likened story of the Degenerate Renegades, a species much like humans that wreaked havoc and war upon Earth fifty years before. Having seemingly multiplied and blended with humans after the war, to prevent another one, their use of powers is banned in each and every country across the globe. Anyone found in use is threatened by a prison sentence or imminent death. Fifty years later, a couple of teenagers disregard these laws and are captured on camera. The government instantly hunts them down but the question they fail to ask themselves is why a couple of teenagers would break the law. Is it pure ignorance, pure arrogance of them feeling they are more superior or is it intentional, but for a greater purpose? It is intentional but as the fugitives of the law, how do you explain to those persecuting you that you are doing it for the greater good of the Earth? The greater good that could save the lives of each inhabitant on Earth against powerful DRs like them, who simply want to kill and destroy like those before them of fifty years before!Complete

The story of a guy with extraordinary abilities and extraordinary problems. He meets friends, enemies, and loses a bit of each. I enjoy writing and drawing comic books and making my own heroes and villains and I wanted to see how turning my favorite hero into a book would turn out. Feel free to give feedback, it always helps. Jack Carter is your semi-average guy. Sixteen, 5' 11, charcoal black hair, and a slight muscle build. The rich popular kid that everyone adores. Until his life takes a turn for the better and worse. Sure, the move was bad. A whole new city across the country. The Big freakin' Apple. Then there was the fact that he had to leave all his friends and make new ones. Double bummer. But juggling his new abilities and super villains? Now there's the ride of a lifetime.Complete![Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/187707890-256-k256622.jpg)
Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED]
The world had long since forgotten the age of dragons, those creatures that had once ruled the skies as gods had long since disappeared after the conclusion of the Great Demon Wars. Dragons became nothing more than a fading legend, a story to tell children at bedtime. But the gods could not let the dragons die, for they were the last defense against the demon armies and the dark god Vekkar. Talia had been born and raised in a world of darkness acting as an agent of Hephatus, goddess of assassins and death. She knew only a life of killing, sometimes for justice, sometimes for honor, always for money. Her morals were opaque at best. But when she's deployed to the city of Arboros she finds herself thrust into a world of political games, opposing powers, and constant threat. Nowhere was safe even for her. Her goals became muddied, and then lost altogether when she meets the Dwarven Prince. Bromyr had spent the last five years of his life chasing ghosts, desperate to find the lost dragon eggs. His people thought him crazy, his father stripped him of his titles, but he never gave up. Eventually his effort bore fruit and he hastily made way to return to his homeland only to get caught up in the city of Arboros. It was there that he met an intriguing half-giant, a woman who ignited a fire everywhere she went. In the end she was the one who inadvertently brought about the new age of dragons. What could go wrong when an ill tempered assassin becomes the first dragon rider of a new age? ***Cover made by annie1loves1you***Complete
