Not all of them have superpowers.

I would love to explore vulnerability through my protagonist.

Throughout her life, nerdy Natalie has felt out of place. But when the first new superhero show debuted she finally found her place. Struck by admiration, Natalie had always daydreamed of being rescued by a man with a cape until the new superhero tv show captured her attention. As early as it began, Natalie made watching the show every day a habit. Giving herself over to fandom, she delved into cosplay and social media to keep up with everything that happened on Batman's watch.

Shortly after meeting the actor who played Batman live for the first time at Comic-Con, she made it her mission to meet him again. She watched half-way through their panel and listened intently as he told anecdotes about filming the newest episode before she finally approached for an autograph and exchange of names before security intervened. But long denied any hint of human connection in her life, Natalie decided that he would be worth

Once upon a time, there was girl with an uncanny resemblance to the superhero.

Vaguely Ordinary would go out on patrol everyday to search for any troublemakers. The only problem is that usually she would be found by someone who loved her for who she really was. One day Vaguely Ordinary walked into church and made the acquaintance of someone who did not know of her superhero identity.

She immediately felt intrigued by him and decided to find out more about him. It didn’t take long before she had fallen in love with him, but how could she tell him when he loved her for who she was when Vaguely Ordinary is just her alter ego?

"everyone buys a lottery ticket on a a long shot of a chance to win the money, some people lie on the floor buried underneath blankets, others try their luck with drugs, love is another form of addiction. some people know the risks and gamble on desires"

Professor

It revolves around the family of the only professor in Cloudville, who befriends Tabatha, a senior in high school. The professor encourages Tabatha's adventurous spirit.

As she watched over her grandchildren the Professor has reflecting thoughts on when she was young and what life was like then. When she came home from teaching that day her granddaughter was nowhere in sight. Afraid that something may have happened to her, the Professor called her daughter to start searching for her. Tabatha had left early to watch a bike race, but after following it back to the mall the Professor realized that would lead her to danger. To make matters worse, Tabatha broke her phone and couldn't call Sherry (mother/Professor's daughter). It's at this moment when the TV clicks on with video footage of Tabatha, bound with rope around his neck, wrists and ankles. Tabatha barely managed managed to say “I'm sorry” before everything turned off.

My cousin and best friend Lauren just told me she met a man and we're we're we're we're we're we're moving in with her. I'm so excited

she's fallen in love

she's fallen in love with a superhero

she must've been looking for him this whole time with all her photo shoots, designer brands and money.

I've only seen the photos of the suit she gave him when she was modeling, and that's it

but I already can feel like my lavender ashes

all over my Fendi outfit and Manolo flats.

After everything she has went through, at last she has found out who this man is.
