Genre: Sci-fi Superhero
Words: 151,000
The world has come a long way since the Metahuman Uprising. Despite all efforts to prevent the spreading knowledge of aliens, people knew the origins of metahumans so it wasn’t a stretch to accept aliens living among them and vote protections into law a few years later. Because of the rise of people of power, regulations outlawing vigilantism were enacted shortly after that. All the major cities were once again safe and secure under the protection of the DEO and heroes like the Martian Manhunter, Batwoman, and the Flash. But what happens when someone shows up who is more powerful than anyone else on Earth?
This isn't a story about DEO agents or heroes. This particular tale encompasses the age-old notions of loss, love, and found family. One new vigilante seeks to honor her family's legacy as the last of her house, and protect the person she's desperately in love with from a metahuman with a heart full of revenge. She won’t let laws or the DEO stop her.
