Masks We Wear: Chapter 1

Welcome to the second storyline I have set in Drew’s Super Powereds Universe. This one is based around one of the characters I created in Darkest Days who wasn’t joining up with Force Ops who I found I really liked and wanted to write more about. Like Chad, the author […]


Masks We Wear: Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Not quite the cage Sam waited in a small vestibule for the door to open and admit him to the combat cell for the first ranking match. He didn’t have long to wait before three separate locks disengaged and the steel door swung outward into the cell. Sam […]


Dance of Shadows: Prologue

The moment Finn Barnaby saw the soldier across the airport, he knew there was no avoiding a conversation.

She stood at a podium overlooking a sea of serious, nervous faces in the auditorium, the largest room at West Private HCP and the only one that could comfortably house the whole student body. […]


Dance of Shadows: Chapter 7

Gym started out with a traditional run. By the time she hit her second lap, Jia remembered how much she’d enjoyed these. Then she hit the beginning of the tenth lap and knew she was in trouble. Thankfully, Professor Matthias switched them over to push ups. Only Jia started flagging […]
