A Change of Heart
Everyone knew of the villain who'd declared himself my personal nemesis, nearly strangling me with squid-like tentacles, during the chaos of that (failed) ultimate uprising against the heroes of our city. Evidently, a monster I'd punched was his uncle. Months passed since his last sighting.

Adiva the Defender
We are all born into this world in blood and ink, but we rarely meld with the ink itself. We emerge from a fresh bath of fluids from our mother and get processed into paperwork immediately. Our feet stamped, wailing and not knowing what is next, but processed into a system that should be here to help us as we grow into adults. A papercut this evening would transform her into an excellent investigator within the pages of books and legal documents…literally. In a moment, she would dive into a page and exist between printed words and pulp, shedding light onto pages meant to be hidden. All it took was one slice on her right forefinger.

Tox. Top Story - September 2024.
Caitlyn cared deeply about the Earth and nature. As she grew up, she watched as one of her favourite swimming holes become toxic from the runoff of the nearby mill.

Woo Assassin
It began so mundanely: two pedal taverns in the streets of Nashville, each full of drunken rowdy bachelorettes. One tired trucker on hour 15 with no sleep, hauling radioactive goop. One innocent Minnesota woman on a business trip, exploring the city after hours.

Wildfire
I have failed as a hero! I was able to save and protect this world, but I was unable to save two of the most important men in my life my brother and my uncle. I find myself so grief stricken I cannot bare to face the world or the rest of my family. I thought after rising as a hero for the last 7 years of my life and winning constant battles and fights I was strong enough for anything and anyone. But not this time since there was only so much, I could do. I was even told by my uncle that there will be times where I sometimes cannot save everybody and that shouldn’t hold me back from continuing to do this. He was a hero himself and I know heroes will even make the ultimate sacrifice which is themselves for the lives of others. But I still felt like it was my responsibility to not lose him and my brother too.
