Okay, hello everyone. So just gonna say a few things before we begin. Which is a normal thing in my books btw, just one big AN at the beginning and smaller ones scattered at the ends of a few chapters. But anyway. This book is the second book in the series, so please go read the first one We Can be Heroes before you read this one. Other than that please read this (or don't) and then enjoy.

1: For those of you who don't know, I suffer from anxiety much like Virgil. It tends to affect my writing in multiple different ways and sometimes it will get to me and I may have to take a break from writing or publishing to take a moment for myself. Please be respectful of this.

2: So I know some authors on Wattpad will downplay anxiety attacks so it doesn't trigger their audience and thank you to all authors who do that and consider their audience while writing anxiety attacks but I don't always do that. Anxiety attacks are written differently depending on which character is having them (because multiple characters in the book will suffer from anxiety at different levels of severity in this book) and they'll be written differently depending on what triggered them and how severe they are. I will always put warnings in when a chapter will feature an anxiety attack but I have given up trying to downplay them because I'm just not able to. I try to write anxiety in a very real way because I have seen comments before where people will say "That's an anxiety attack? That's nothing, that's easy, it's not a big deal" and it isn't easy. Anxiety and every other mental illness is a very serious thing and I really don't wanna see comments like that.

3: I can't draw, like at all. So, if you have any cool fanart that you want to be featured in this story go ahead and message me. I will post a picture of your art in a chapter and if you have a social media account or a website that you use to show your art I don't mind linking that with a chapter either. We're all artists here. Wattpad is a community of artists and we're not competing against each other. We're a team, we're supposed to help each other up and I will gladly help someone get their art out there.

4: Below is just a reminder of some of the character's powers, ages, sexuality's, pronouns, who they're dating/married to, and pasts. Also, I came up with names for our heroes so yay!

5: I have created several OC's for this book and the book before this one. Lets put it this way though. If they're not sides I created them. If I ever introduce an OC that I'll be using more then once and has relevance to the story then I will say so at the end of the first chapter they show up in.

I seriously have no idea why any of you read my garbage! But that's it for this author's note and I'll see all of you later. Enjoy the book as best as you can and remember that you are a beautiful amazing human being that deserves greatness!

(Virgil, Roman, Patton, Logan, Emile, Remy, Janus, and Remus are all characters created by Thomas Sanders. They are not my characters please go see some of Thomas's videos if you haven't already and if you have, then go re-watch them because they're really good)
