The First
The first Superheroes were called Demigods. How else to explain their powers - great strength, the ability to create technology un-conceptualised, breathing underwater, invulnerability - but by divine inheritance? But they were injured and died like any mortal, so they must be only the offspring of gods.

Groundhog. Honorable Mention in 500 Word Shockwave Challenge.
Every morning, the first thing the Victorious, the city's top Superhero team, did was check on Groundhog. Groundhog could shape-shift, but their real power was an odd form of fail-safe/time-travel. If something went badly wrong, the day would reset for them, granting a do-over. If Groundhog was undisturbed, everything was fine. If Groundhog was upset, or repeated any of the code-phrases to signal that they were on a re-set… well, that was when Shit-Got-Real, as the kids said.

Rituals and Hidden Dreams
My name is Alero, waking up at exactly 4 a.m. to do the dishes, cook, clean, and take care of my little cousins was my normal routine at nineteen. At first, I enjoyed this routine because it was a refreshing change from what I was used to. The new environment was beautiful. I loved the spaciousness that my home lacked, the fresh-scented air that replaced the usual mustiness, and the polished furniture that shone like it had been treated with the finest serum. The kitchen, equipped with all the utensils my home never had, motivated me to work with enthusiasm and a smile. Each morning began with bread, scrambled eggs, and hot chocolate that tasted like a nostalgic Christmas feast. I prepared breakfast for my little cousins and waited until they finished eating, savouring my own meal in solitude to fully enjoy each bite of the sandwich. It was filling and satisfying.
