What would you risk for freedom?

Mercy Baudelaire has been locked up in a cell since her eleventh birthday when the government came to take her away from her family.  The reason?  To save their lives.  Her childhood was spent on the run, escaping the hands reaching out to pull her into a world of deadly conspiracies and experiments.  Her parents kept her hidden, constantly escaping watchful eyes.  After years of running, time has caught up with Mercy leaving her trapped like a caged animal.  For years she was tortured at the hands of a government too corrupt to care.  Because of her gifts she fought so hard to conceal, freedom was nonexistent.  Mercy lost all hope the day she had been taken. 

As Mercy finds herself on the run once again, she encounters misfits with powers of their own; allies in a game of life she was sure to lose.  Now, placing faith in freedom didn't sound too impossible to the hopeless young girl.  But where faith exists, darkness often lies in wait.  Mercy's enemies refuse to go down easily and not even time can save her now. 
What happens when conspiracies are proven and super-humans fight to take back what is rightfully theirs? 

In AS THE WORLD TURNS COLD, Mercy Baudelaire sets out on an adventure to prove to herself that in a broken world where the line between human and monster wears thin, a little faith and help from unexpected allies goes a long way.

May 25, 2012. 35H-GQ. That was her name. A name for the girl who was left on the streets by her mother at the age of 2. A name for the girl who was imprisoned, tortured, and abused by none other than HYDRA. They saw her as a chance, an opportunity to test their dangerous, life-threatening experiments. It took 6 years for their experiments to finally snap and harm the innocent child. 35H-GQ turned deaf and it was entirely their fault. A few years later, something extraordinary happened. At the age of 11, 35H-GQ finally escaped HYDRA. It was a dark, gloomy night when it happened. The escape she'd been planning for years. She had finally........Hold on. How did she escape again? She couldn't remember. She idly wondered how she could have forgotten that plan. She ran, ran, and ran until her legs gave out and she could no longer breathe. As she sat on the floor panting, she saw a tiny ray of light flickering from beyond the horizon. She numbly walked towards the light and found herself in a city. 35H-GQ was awed. She gawked at every little detail, every dirty alley, and every tiny shop, just everything. She was amazed at how bright the lights were, at how the tall the skyscrapers reached to the clouds and beyond. As she gaped at New York City, looking like a lost puppy, she got lost in her thoughts. She couldn't believe it. After 9 years of imprisonment, she was finally free. Warning: This story is PG15. Strong langue included Disclaimer: I don't own Marvel, the characters, or some of the plot. Setting: Avengers Age of Ultron Civil War

Info of my writing style and this book: • This book is written from the first-person point of view. Everything he thinks about; everything you read, will be the exact moment of everything that's happening. When Nathaniel gets cut off and interrupted, his thoughts will be interrupted as well. • I'll put seven periods to indicate a change in the scene; to show that time has passed since the last scene. • Bolded names are important characters to Nathaniel and the story • This book contains vulgar and sometimes erotic descriptive language. • This book is targeted toward a young adult audience.

Rosa never thought she'd make it to sixteen... When being unique puts you in danger and speaking your mind can be punishable by death, you might find yourself fighting to survive. Sixteen-year-old Rosa lives in one of the eight enclosed cities of The Woodlands. Where the lone survivors of a devastating race war have settled in the Russian wilderness because it's the only scrap of land left habitable on the planet. In these circular cities, everyone must abide by the law or face harsh punishment. Rosa's inability to conform and obey the rules brands her a leper and no one wants to be within two feet of her, until she meets Joseph. He's blonde, fair-skinned, green-eyed, and the laid-back complete opposite of Rosa. She's never met anyone quite like him, and she knows that spells danger. But differences weren't always a bad thing. People used to think being unique was one of the most treasured of traits to have. Now, the Superiors, who ruthlessly control the concrete cities with an iron fist, are obsessed with creating a 'raceless' race. They are convinced this is the only way to avoid another war. Any anomalies must be destroyed. The Superiors are unstoppable and can do anything they want. After all, they are considered superheroes by the general public. But not everyone sees them this way. When they continue to abuse their power by collecting young girls for use in their secret, high-tech breeding program, they have no idea that one of those girls has somehow managed to make friends even she didn't know she had. And one man will stop at nothing to save her.

WARNING: CONTAINING AMOUNTS OF SASS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO MANKIND In the city of NYC--- Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another cliché teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel! Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out? Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind. Fangirl out.
