"And being different? That turned out to be the best part of all. I found that with a little creativity, and a lot of dedication, any difference can be turned into something amazing. Our differences are our superpowers."
― Cece Bell, El Deafo

Excerpt from Chapter 17:
Stop there or we shoot!"
This was the moment, I can't prolong it anymore. I feel the dragon calling, pleading to get out... I let it out.
In an instant my body morphs before their eyes, they gasp and awe, Not for long at least, I burn them into a crisp, Lexy watches horrified, I turn to her, thinking whether or not I should do the same,she deserves it, for all she's done.
"Please, Dra- Oscar I know I haven't been all that nice to you, but please consider! I-I I'll be your slave."
The dragon was about to say yes and take her away ,But, I stopped myself.
"No, you've chosen this path, and here is were it ends"
With that, I blast the wall beside her and fly outside. Now. Where is Fire?
After a careless scientific accident with new elements, people with supernatural abilities began to surface.
Society adjusted, and social norms changed. Heroes and villians surfaced, making the world more complicated.
Fast-forward one hundred years. Neera Sanchez fights for her survival as a supervillain. She does what she can to survive, inadvertently making her a target for the heroes. Behind her mask, she struggles in personal battles, alone. When her abusive boyfriend and her own fight against depression overtake her, she's introduced to the world of superheroes.
Vincent Ciobanu is a new hero at a local base. He introduces himself to the ex-villain and takes Neera's focus away from the pain and suffering she had been used. Neera grows as she gets used to her new life.
Times change and things shift for the worse as Neera's ex, Koen James, comes back into her life stronger as a supervillain, threatening the peace of the world and the freedom Neera discovered.

Neera's eyes closed and her chest rose as she breathed deeply, trying her hardest to focus her power on the heroes nearing her. She opened her eyes, watching intently as the heroes slowly crowded on the rooftop around her. The moon illuminated their serious masked faces and flashy suits, giving Neera the opportunity to figure out what powers they might possess. She kept her eyes halfway closed and studied them. Most of the suits were at least 75% black. One hero stuck out in her blue suit. It had no black on it. Neera was wary of the color of her suit.
/How did I end up here?/
One of the heroes had surprised her with a lucky hit almost a minute ago. She had felt the impact and acted on it, diving to the ground. She had a better fighting chance against the six when they were caught off guard.
And if one of them had the ability to purify water, it would all go down hill.
