I slip my head back inside and try to gather my thoughts. Here's what I know: my house is on fire, firemen are here and not putting it out, and I'm alive for now. What I don't know: why the firemen aren't putting out the fire, how this happened, and if my family is okay. One more thing tickles the back of my brain. Something is horribly wrong here, and it's not the fire. I'm lightheaded as I realize the obvious: Steel Blaze isn't here.

My house is burning to the ground, I don't know if my family is safe, and I'm not even sure if I'm going to be alive to kill Will at the moment. Steel, the one person I need to save me, is not here. I bite my lip. If he's not here now, I'm sure he's not coming.

This isn't your regular superhero story.

Guide to Being a Superhero...'s BFF (Guide to Being, Novella One)

9 parts Complete

Friendship doesn't change when your bestie becomes a fire-wielding champion, but a lot of other stuff does. Like having to put 'kidnapped by idiots with powers' on your weekly schedule. And enduring said idiots' clichΓ© monologues while inwardly roasting their interior decorating skills. Hey, I'm Mira. That's right, Miracle Simmons. BFF to America's favorite superhero celeb; Firebird. (Bu-bye, Chris Evens, your reign is over.) You've probably heard of her, but not of me. That's okay! I'm her bestie! It's my job to make sure she doesn't burn herself out fighting morons, keep her focused in her actual real life, and try to show her that she doesn't have to pick every fight. Uh-huh, I have it way worse than her. Anyway, if you're reading this, you are most likely a newbie superhero bestie. Or a salty television producer. Or my mom. (Hi, Mom.) Whoever you are; buckle up, and enjoy my tale of supervillains who aren't villains-or super, superheroes who don't want to work anymore, and the rotten media that started it all. And me. The wanna-be normal engineering student who God decided had to be kidnapped to get a date.
