Fifteen-year-old Cameron Drexler made a mistake. A simple, honest, and very illegal mistake. Knowing his son's actions could derail his career, Cam's father, Congressman David Drexler, has him shipped off to Maplethorn Academy.
Not quite a prison and not quite a school, Maplethorn is a place where the wealthy and well-connected lock away boys who are lawbreakers, troublemakers, or simply unwanted. But when his roommate disappears, Cam fears Maplethorn is hiding a darker secret.
Caught looking for answers in a part of the academy that is off-limits to cadets, Cam is pressured into volunteering for a new type of behavioral therapy. At first, he doesn't feel any different. That is until he discovers he can send a paper airplane shooting across the room without touching it.

TIME TESTAMENT
William Testament is a mild mannered insurance man until his life becomes a series of unfortunate events, beginning with a horrific car accident. A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does. The city they live in is a dynamic place in the near future, but built up from the past, layers of millenia holding up its foundations, and dark energies working deep beneath its basements. The histories lurking there aren't the ones we read about in history books and some of them are infected with the future. The underworld is full of high-tech gangsters, artificial super-intelligences, and witchcraft wielding criminals spreading rumors and illusions. Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city. With the help of Samantha, a young citizen journalist, and a mysterious spiritual teacher somehow linked with his own personal past, he hopes to try and control whatever this unseen thing is before it is too late.Complete
Royals & Nobles (!DC!Blackfire x !Male!Reader)
At just 7 years old, he saw the slaughter of his people, not by invaders, but by his own father. He was launched through a collapsing black hole, flung across the stars... and onto Earth. There, he was no savior or prince-just a strange child in a strange world. Project Cadmus quickly took him in, but not as a refugee. He became a lab rat-studied, prodded, broken. The older he got, the colder he became. Escaping into the world brought no comfort. Branded a street rat, human cruelty showed him no mercy. He saw the worst of society, lived through it, & endured it. But fate had other plans. Decades passed, eventually, he crossed paths with the Teen Titans. Reluctantly, he joined them-not out of heroism, but out of necessity. Or because he saw children who reminded him of what he'd lost. He tried to be a hero but vengeance still festered deep inside. His powers began to evolve-dangerously, beyond logic-becoming a force even he couldn't fully comprehend. Then, on what should have been just another quiet day at Titans Tower, she walked in. Blackfire herself. The last person anyone expected to see come through the elevator doors. The team was immediately on edge, preparing for battle-but Komand'r came with a different intention: she wanted to make peace. No one believed her. Cuffed, questioned, & kept under tight watch, it was eventually decided that only Y/n had the power & war-born instincts to handle Blackfire if she tried anything. So began the worst pairing imaginable. Arguments exploded. Threats flew. Doors were broken. Petty wars broke out over food, sleep, even bathroom schedules. Their rivalry was toxic. But something began to shift. Komand'r learned the truth behind Y/n's past. And Y/n started to question hers. What happens when enemies grow too close? When rage melts into tension, tension smolders into something far more dangerous? When hate turns to heat, and heat turns to love? Read to find out.

Rising Beast | Garou Reader//Invincible
Y/N was once just a regular boy growing up on Earth - a planet constantly torn apart by superheroes, aliens, and villains. But unlike most kids, Y/N didn't look up to heroes. He feared them. As a child, he watched helplessly as "heroes" leveled half his neighborhood battling a villain. His parents were among the many who died that day - innocent lives reduced to collateral damage. The heroes got applause. The villain got blamed. No justice. No accountability. Just a scared, grieving boy left to make sense of a broken world. But fate wasn't done with him yet. Not long after, he was adopted by a kind-hearted woman - someone who didn't have powers, but who showed him more strength and compassion than any cape ever had. She raised him with love, patience, and empathy. She helped keep the rage from consuming him completely. Still, Y/N couldn't forget what happened. That fear. That helplessness. It never left him. At 13, he began to train - quietly and obsessively. Martial arts, self-defense, and street fighting became his escape, his coping mechanism. He trained not to become a monster, but so he'd never feel powerless again. Under the guidance of Bang, a legendary martial artist, Y/N honed his skills to deadly perfection. Bang tried to steer him toward becoming a true hero, but something inside Y/N stayed fractured. Now older, stronger, and sharper than most who wear the title "hero," Y/N walks a dangerous path - not out of hatred, but because he believes someone has to hold the powerful accountable. He hunts corrupt heroes, dismantles villain syndicates, and brings fear to those who misuse their gifts. Some see him as a monster. Others as a savior. But Y/N? He doesn't care what they call him. He doesn't want to destroy the idea of heroes. He just wants to fix it - even if that means becoming the villain in someone else's story.
